Jean Baptiste Rochambeau.

u Y the end of next month the city of
II Washington will have Il statue of
Jean Baptiste Rochambeau. When
that statue is unveiled the American
nation, acting through it's government.
will be present to acknowledge its OBJ
legations to the gallant French general
and to pay part of it's de6t of graft
tude 1t is a most commendable char
acteristic of the people of this coun-
try, says the Chicago Tribune, that
they have always been willing to ac-
knowledge such obligations and to paw
such debts to their last farthing. Sell
dom does one hear any attempts to de-
preciate the services of those Euro
peans, aliens by blood but kindred by
sentiment. who fought shoulder to
shoulder with the continentals. Steu-
ben. Kosiusko, De Kalb. LAFAYETTE
Rochambeau, and the rest of that glor-
ious company of strangers have had
no reason to complain of the forgetful-
ness of republics.
The United States will never cease
to bear it clearly in mind that there
were Frenchmen under Rochambeau as
well as Americans under Washington
at the surrender of Yorktown in ISL
and that CORVALLIS yielded to the al
lied arms of France and the revolted
colonies. In fact, the history of the
whole Yorktown campaign is bound up
inextricaby with the exploits of the
foreign commanders. 1t was Lafay-
cite, that boy" as CORVALLIS called
him, who lead the British general a
merry dance across the rivers and
through the marshes of Virginia till
the invading troops were ready to rest
their weary virtue on that tongue of
land which they left only as prisoners.
1t was Rochambeau whose troops
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1902-05-03

| made it possible for Washington to
keep CORVALLIS cooped up. Finally,
/ 1t was De Grasse who beat off the Brit
ish fleet under Graves and prevented
the escape of the British army by
water. 1t is true of course, that what
De Grasse did he did in the ordinary
execution of his ordinary duties. He
was not volunteer. He was ordered
by his government to proceed to Amer
lea and to assist the armies of Wash
ington and Rochambeau in every way
possible. 1t may be said, therefore,
that with him it was all in the days
work. 1t must not be forgotten. how.
ever, that it was move of his which
perhaps made Yorktown inevitable.
While Washington and Rochambeau
were sparring with Clinton in the coun-
try about New York, he sent them
letter in which he said he was going
down to the Chesapeake, and hoped
that they would be able to use him at
once After this letter the march to
yorktown could hardly be deferred. 1t
began Immediately. Its result was
independence.
If, therefore, there is to be a monu
ment to Rochambeau, might it not be
well to honor De Grasse in the same
way? 1t was the French army and
tie French navy together that assist
ed Washington. The one without the
other might have been useless. Their
commanders deserve an equal measure
of praise. And in these days, when in
the United States things are so large
as to suggest possible danger of ma
tional hysteria, there could be no better
discipline than a glance back upon the
days when things were exceedingly
small, and Wien the help of foreign
countries was by no means to be de-
spised.

My Dear Sir:-Replying to your favor

founding of a Catholic paper in Salt Lake
not the least OF the many blessings be

during the past two years. Its birth oc-
Cured at an opportune time. Its zeal, In
propagating Catholic truth, has had.
since its inception, my hearty, though
silent approval l believe with Our Holy
Father that "a good Catholic journal Is a
perpetual mission in a PARISH and that
II will serve as a question box, at az
times, for anxious inqui-ers. In my visi
tations I shall hope to find The Inter-
mountain Catholic in the homes of every

question. 1t is today urging remedies
identical in spirit with those which it
suggested 100 years ago. The spirit of
the remedies is force. 1t is thing to
marvel at that the Times and its read

Irish question, although events have
given the lie to the creed they profess
even since the days of Queen Eliza

Newspaper dispatches from Bloom
ington, Ills. say that 1000 men en-
ployed in the shops of the Chicago &
Alton railway have resolved to eat no
meat during the next thirty days. This
oath of abstinence is the result, not of
any sentimental or hygienic aversion to
animal food, but of a rooted antipathy
to high prices especially when be
lieved to be enforced by a trust. 1t is
hoped that other workingmen in other
towns and cities will follow the eX-
ample set them by the workingmen OF
Bloomington and that when the trust
finds that it cannot get rid of its meat
at the present prices it will see it's way
more clearly to a reduction. In other
words. the principle involved is pre-
cisely that which made so much stir in
Boston a number of years ago when
the East India company was trying TO
persuade the Americans to drink tea.
1t will be remembered that at that
time in Boston and also in other CO.
loniaI towns men resolved that they
would leave tea alone forever rather
than submit to the tax which the tea
implied. The people of Bloomington
seem to be animated by similar spirit
and the beef trust" will understand
lust how the East India company felt
in 1773.

industry will either have no results or
uncertain and miserable ones.

Plumber of Prisoners Confined During
Year 1901.
Tramps Not SO Numerous as in Years
Gone BY.

The number of trampS sentenced to
jail in the State during the year 1901,
was not ~ large as III former years.
Tho, YVES Il time, a number of years
a"o, Vn,. .ar great bulk of the prison.
ELS n the iail5 in the larger Maine
counties were weary wanderers. But
o! late. the number has decreased to
a very large extent. Fifteen years
ago Kenhcbcc Jail has been known to
domicile more than 100 tramps ut one
time; but during the past year there
W ere only IG in all confined at the jail.
While, according To the official fig
ures, this statement appears to be au-
thentic it IS not true that the tranps
ARE wholly disappearing. There are
stiI tramps left but they are often
committed under Il different classificl-
ton. Many are sent TO jail for drunk
enness, nowadays, instead of for ordi-
nary tramping.
According To the figures as published
h the inspectors of prisons and jails
ne county jaiisi took care of 400
/, amps during the year ending Nov
nber 60. 1901. York county had the
largest number, $50, Androscoggin

Waldo had 16; Somerset, II; oxford,

Piscataquis 2 each. Hancock and
Washington housed no tramps.
During the year Il prisoners made
their escape Of whom Is We're re
captured Waldo and Penobscot had
four escapes apiece, while York and
Cumberland had two each. Hancock
land Washington had one escape each
land up to the closing of the year S re
port neither was re-taken.
The whole number of prisoners con-
fined in the county jails for the year
was 5.270. of whom 5.O12 were men and
25S women Only 157 of this total are
returned as of foreign birth. Singu-
Ilarly enough, Androscoggin, with all
its foreign population. does not return
one Of its 1,0O9 convicts as Of foreign
birth. while Cumberland so classes 500
of it's 1854 convicts. oxford returns
1873 of its 145 convicts as of foreign
birth. Knox had is Piscataquis four
and Hancock two. None of the other
counties claimed foreign ancestry for
