''Those who were familiar with the
unselfish and devoted character of the
late Archbishop Kahn, of St. Louis,
know that it was altogether in keep
ing with his whole career that he be-
queathed all his possessions to the
archdiocese of which he was the head,
and for which he had labored so dill
gently and made so many sacrifices.
Nothing the archbishop owned is to
go to any other purpose but the needs
of the archdiocese. All his personal
and real property is left in trust to the
Church which in life he served so
well and now remembers in death."-

Nothing succeeds like success, and it
is probable that at some moment on
last Tuesday night Mr.. Charles f.
Murphy, the leader of Tammany Hall,
was transformed from the leader of a
band of grafters into a Democratic
leader of national Importance. At
least, that is the way many will look
upon him. AS matter of fact, Mr..
Murphy has long been a man noted
for his courage, good judgment and
executive ability. His private life,
for be has had little public life, will
compare very favorably with the lives
Of his detractors. He has been a sa-
loon keeper, it is true, but saloon
keeper who never drank himself. For
a young man, he has shown during the
bitter campaign just ended that he
has complete control of himself, thus
showing the first great requirement in
those who lead others. He made up
his mind as to what should be done
and did it. He was equally firm as
against the threats Of foes and the en-
treaties of friends. Under circum-
stances which called for much self
control, he remained silent but true
and determined in his purpose. He is
young man comparatively, being on
ly forty-eight, and bids fair to be-
come a great leader Of tile most COM
pact political organization in the
world.

George Brinton Mcclellan, who by
Tuesdays election becomes Mayor Of
Greater New York and possible
candidate for the Presidency on the
Democratic ticket next year, is the
only son of Little Mac" the Union
general Of the Civil War. He was
born in Dresden, Germany, Nov. %,
1865, where his parents were visiting
at the time of his birth. He graduated
from Princeton in 1886, after making
a good record in both scholarship and
athletics. He took up newspaper
work in New York and in this way
formed the acquaintance Of the Tam
many leaders, who have pushed him
ever since. Croker liked him and
made him treasurer of the Brooklyn
bridge in 1889. For two years he
was president Of the Board Of Alder.
men and in 1895 was sent to Congress,
where he has served for eight years.
At Washington he has gained a repu-

esq and for clean, decent living.
There are indications of new min
isterial crisis in France, which may
mean the upsetting Of M. Combe's
cabinet, and the formation of a new
"ministery of all the talents" and of
all parties. 1t is becoming, evident
that M. Combes has far exceeded the
intentions of his wiser and more mod
crate predecessor, NJ Waldeck- Rous-
seau, dealing with the religious order
in a spirit of extreme intolerance and
severity, and yet, so far as one can
learn, without actually accomplishing
much. Under various guises the re-
ligious orders continue to teaci, and to
exercise as great influence as ever.
while the feeling stirred up by the
violent methods of NJ. Combes increas-
es. A much graver matter is raised
by his declared intention to denounce
the Concordat, and break the slender
bonds which still bind Church and
state together in France, or, to speak
plainly, to put an end to the arrange
ment by which the civil power paid a
part of the salaries and expenses OF
the priests and their superiors. AS in
the case of the temporal power, there
is good deal to be said on both sides
of the question, even from the point of
view Of the Church. There can be no
doubt that the moral prestige of the
Holy See has risen since the Pontiff
ceased to be an italian prince. In just
the same way, when the Catholic
Church in France is dependent wholly
on the support of its followers, it may
take new lease Of moral and spirit
ual life. This has been notably the
case in Ireland, where the Catholic
Church was not only not supported by
the state, but, on the contrary, was
prescribed and prosecuted; it is large
ly the case in the United States, where
no church is supported by the state,
and where all religious bodies are,
therefore, dependent OIL the zeal of
their adherents, says Harpers Weekly.

Scranton. Pa.. Sept. S.-Hon. Carroll D. Wright. the umpire to whom was referred the five disputes between the operators and miners representatives on the board of conciliation appointed under the pro- visions of the anthracite mine strike com mission. filed his findings today with T. D. Nicholls, Secretary of the Board.
 Dealing with the question of the em- ployers right to discharge men from any cause other than of connection with a labor union, Umpire Wright agrees who'll ly with the contention of the operators representatives and declares that the right of an employer to discharge without giv- ing the cause of discharge is sustained by the award of the commission.
 As to the rock mems dispute. the um- pire says they do not come under the award. The complaint of Thomas Tan ner Is not sustained in regard te the al- legations of discrimination on the part of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company and Coxe Brothers and Company. He says that these companies should take back old men instead of putting on new men in all cases, where the old men are competent and have not been convicted or not awaiting trial for crime during the strike.
