Decline of Professionalism.

THAT is rather strange arraign-
ment which the Rev. Mr.. Raab
makes against twentieth century
Professionalism, although he does not
use these adjeetives in naming the re-
ligion which he processes himself
Strange, because such utterances are
rarely ever heard in Protestant pull
pit and seldom appear in the printed
pages of Church magazine. In sub
stance they are published elsewhere in
this issue of the Intedmountain Cath
Ole
To find a reason explaining Rev.
Raabs attitude towards the modern
tendencies of Professionalism together
with his caustic remarks anent TWEEN
tieth century preachers, we must

WAS He A CATHOLIC.

Curious evidences have from time to
time. been given as to the Catholicity
of certain great men who have figured
prominently in the events of history
and literature. A mans religion is
something private, not manifesting it,
self publicly and distinctly in his po-
litical or social conduct. Yet, we hardly
understand how the Catholicity of any
prominent parsonage should be mat
ter of doubt. If it has been hidden
and concealed to that degree that his
tory cannot make it out; that even in
innate friends are unable to give posi-
tive and uniform evidences as to it, and
that the acts and writings of the party
give no clear idea of what it was or
what it was not-then, whatever it
might be, We hardly think it could be
Catholicity worth claiming or boasting
about.
Possibly we might make an exception
in the case of William Shakespeare,
of whose private life so little is posi-
lively known, and whose works are full
of intimations of Catholicity. That
Charles III and Edmund Burke had
priests present at their deathbeds, ar
CUES nothing to the credit, either of
their lives or their sincerity.
The assertion has been made that
Abraham Lincoln was q Catholic, and
some desultory indications have been
from time to time discovered; but no
credence at all is to be given to the
idea, in the light of Mr.. Lincolns
known views and his well-ascertained
religious practices. Similarly it has
been argued that Washington was
Catholic, and here are the reasons:
l. He merited it by his virtues
2. He had the picture of the Blessed
Virgin in his bed room 8. He was &C.
quainted with Catholics, had visited
Catholic churches and contributed to
their erection. 4. Juba, his servant,

first conclude that he is a
man of strong convictions with
fearless inclination to express
them. Either that or his own
tenure of pastorate is impregnable, so
that he is at liberty TO hew to the line,
let the chips fall where they may. We
may be correct in ascribing both as
the motives leading up to the publica-
ton of his views on the outlook of
Professionalism. At any rate Rev. Raab
is TO be commended for his effort to
stem the tide against old-fashion, ST
mon pure Professionalism by pointing
out the danger of monkeying with the
bible and tearing it to pieces. Rev.
Raab is plucky, and we admire pluck.
What Rev. Raab says about Protest
ants setting such high value upon
money that 'one of the first questions
asked, on the formation of a new pas
toral relation, is, How much does he
get?'" finds confirmation in a dispatch
from New York. setting out a number
of important positions with good sal
aries attached that are going begging
for preachers? Why are such posi-
tons going begging for preachers
Either because the minister vacating
resigned to accept a higher salary else
where, or the price attached to q posi-
ton demanded a twentieth century
preacher instead of one who cleaTed
TO the bible without the omission of
a comma or the change of a single
word.

PROTESTANT TESTIMONY.

The latest testimony TO the need or
associating moral teaching with the
education of children was given the
other day in Boston at meeting held
under the auspices of Harvard Teach
ers association. The subject for dis
cussion was Training for Citizenship"
One of the speakers, Mr.. Munroe Of
Boston. referring to the most essential
element in the training for good citi-
zenship. said:
Moral education must be given more
attention in the public schools. The pri-
mary purpose of Christian education
used to be morality and it still is with
the Roman Catholic church. Whatever
criticism may be made of it's methods,
it's teaching is supremacy moral, and as
the moral is the supreme aim in life,
that element should be made more Of
in our systems"
We have here an exposition of the
Catholic view of education. If the moral
is the supreme aim in life surely that
fact should be impressed upon the
young at an age when their minds are
most impresionable. The Catholic
church insists upon this, and in doing
so she becomes the most effective agent
for the promotion of the welfare Of So
ciety.
Goddess education, which naturally
leaves the impression that the highest
good consists in the possession of the
means of gratifying mere animal de-
sires, will never produce the highest
type of manhood and womanhood This
is so self-evident that there is no need
of going into any argument to prove it,.
The Catholic church, in her supreme
wisdom, knows that the elimination of
morality from our system of education
will leave the latter like Dead Sea fruit.
Thinking Protestants are al one with
the Catholic church in this matter: they
see and appreciate the danger that is
inseparably associated with the sort of
training children receive in our public
schools.-Freeman's Journal

Sufficient time has now passed since
the action of the court to learn how
the injunctions of Judge Jackson of
West Virginia are regarded by the
press generally. With few exceptions
the leading newspapers declare he ex-
ceeded his rights when he estopped the
coal mine strikers from endeavoring
by argument to persuade men to join
the Miners union. His subsequent
punishment of the infractors for con-
tempt of court is denouced roundly. II
is certain his action viii not stand as
legal precedents to be followed by our
judges. The statement that Judge
Jackson is financially interested in
some of the properties concerned in the
strike seems to be well founded, and
the fact does not help the court in the
way of Endorsement OF MS injunctions
in the public mind.

The biography man on the Salt Lake
Telegram is a daisy. Writing of Judge
Kinney's career in congress. the young
man says:
In 1868 he was removed by Presi-
dent Lincoln, but in 1864 he was chosen
as delegate to congress and was a
tery prominent member of the legisla-
tive branch of the government. His
career in congress was a stirring one,
because of his intense Union senti-
ments and his thorough patriotism to
the cause of the Abolitionists. He was
pitted in debate against many of the
brightest and most powerful orators of
the south and earned particular fame
at that time. His speeches were wide
ly copied by the press of the country"
Having been appointed chief justice
of Utah by President Pierce and also
serving as such under President
Buchanan, it is reasonable to suppose
that Judge Kinney was a Democrat.
Being a Democrat, it is not likely that
he espoused the cause of the Adolf
tionists in 1864, especially when no
such party existed in this country at
that time. Being a member of the
Federal congress at Washington, he
could not be "pitted in debate against
many of the brightest and most power
full orators of the South" because all
these bright and powerful orators of
the South as well as such as were
not so bright and powerful,
were sitting in the Confederate
congress at Richmond. Va. Neither
does anyone recoIlect about reading
any of Judge Kinney's speeches, so

Archbishop Ireland tells good one
on himself. Recently in Chicago he
stopped at a fruit stand behind which
stood Z swarthy individual whom he
naturally took to be a son of sunny
Italy. His grace is handy with many
languages, italian among the rest, and
he addressed the fruiterer in his sup
posed native tongue, only to bring forth
this retort: ''Wirra, may God forgive
your reverence for taking me for a
Dago," To square himself with his
fellow countryman, the archbishop Sc
lected a few bits of his choicest fruit,
for which he offered an over generous
price. and this time he was greeted
something like this: "Begorra. twas
bad enough to be taken for -Dago. but
to offer me pay for the bit of fruit
that tbs an honor for me TO have your
reverence accept is more than 1 can
stand. Oh, what did I ever do to earn
this INSULT" So the archbishop gave
the case up as hopeless and departed,
having left his blessing as an offset to
the wounded feelings of the Celt--who
might have been in better business,

STOCK SHIPPERS UPHELD.
Missouri Railroads Must Give a Pass
With Each Car of Stock That is
Shipped.

JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. l9.-In an
opinion written by Railroad Commits
sioner W. Z. McCulley, OF the State
Board of Railway and Warehouse
Commissioners, in the case of certain
stock shippers Of Lawrence county,
against the st. Louis s. San Francisco
railroad, the contention of the stock
shippers is upheld and the railroad
company is found guilty Of violating
the State statute. The board met a
week ago and delegated Commissioner
McCulley to write the opinion In the
case, the hearings having been had
previously, and the board was to have
met here to-day to pass upon the mat
te, but Commissioners Hennesssy and
Rice not being present, the matter
goes over until next week, when the
opinion will be concurred in by the
other members, as the opinion is the
majority conclusion Of the board.
The complaint was brought against
the railroad by certain stock shippers
who stated that the railroad company
was violating the State law in not pro-
vlding transportation for one man for
each car Of stock shipped. The rail-
road company contended that the
shippers billed cars separate under
different names and then demanded
transportation for crowds of dlslnter-
ested parties. Commissioner McCulley
holds in his opinion, which does not
touch the constltutionality OF the
law, that the railroad is liable to a
fine OF $1,000 In each of the twenty
two cases, or total OF $4,000. The
road holds that the law is unconsti-
tutional, and the matter will probably
be fought out In the courts.
