daily papers. The record up to date

this operation is only performed on

South are sometimes constrained to

The next demonstration of Caucas-
Ian superiority is found in the case of
cheerful and accommodating liar
from New York, one DOblin, who con-
tributed to the gaiety of nations and
the discontinue of a congressman, and
an ex-congressman, last week, by testi-
flying before Congress Committee one
day, that he had been authorized by
the latter to bride the former, and on
the next day being overcome by
qualms of conscience and the fear of
hell fire, deliberately and penitently
confessed that he was an unmitigated

The next demonstration of superior
ity and depravity combined, finds il
lustIation in the recent discovery in
New York of a bunch Of alleged re-
sIectable white rascals who have been
Systematically swindling the city by
posing as dummies and swearing off
taxes of individuals whom they per

perjury received one-half OF the
amounts saved to their innocent CD
clients One of these eminently re-

with a good salary and six years to his
credit as a public servant.
These instances of crime among
white men are only a drop in the
bucket. AS 1 have previously remark
ed in these columns, the white man is
the biggest liar and the biggest thief
on record. I now add that as a Grim
inal he will make a barbarian turn
green with envy of his adeptness and
skill as such. When these four per
jurerS were arrested in New York city,
they had all kinds of money in their
pockets and wallets, and though they

bread, a chicken or a red hot stove
and newspapers like the New York

called upon to read us lectures and

race. The white man has been lying
and stealing ever since the world be-
gan, and it comes just as natural to
him as eating Or reading the Bible
I cheerfully grant him the right of
way as a superior mortal-the Negro
can never hope to attain to the emin-
ence and distinction reached by the
superior white man as a liar, perjurer,
and thief. OF course this does not
apply to all white men, for among
all races of men there are some who
are absolutely honest and truthful and
beyond suspicion, but they are in the
minority, and mOre's the pity.

Catholic Total Abstinence.

From the Catholic World.
The Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America has added 1900 to It's membership
during the past year. The most remarkable
eature Is the work done by Father Sieben-
foercher in the seminaries of the country.
During the past year, In a large number of
seminaries, he presented to the young
levites the principles on which the total
abstinence cause rests and enlisted in the
service of this cause many hundreds Of co
clesiastical students. This movement has
now become thoroughly established. This
year 1t has issued in the. organization Of q
Sacerdotal Total Abstinence League. There
Is like movement on foot In Ireland A
vigorous propaganda is carried on in May

representing sixteen dioceses. Fifty young
priests left Maynooth within the past two
years promising a life service In the total
abstinence cause, and at least three hun
dred are to follow in the next few years:
Many who have reason to know the vastly
superior influence of the total abstaining
priest in promoting temperance see in this
new development the first sure signs Of
widespread and thorough temperance re-
form.

Like pretty much everything else, this
matter of having children has two sides 10
it. AS a great many children are failures
and children are the joint product Of
heredity and environment, both elements
preponderantly under parental control, it
would seem more sensible to say that there
were too many people undertaking parental
responsibility instead Of too few. And fur
Their, parentalhood has many cares and sor-
rows and exasperations. Still, when all IS
said, how many persons who found them
selves childless at forty-five have been able
honestly to congratulate themselves?
Children have a use as an assurance
against restitution and lonliness In old age
They are satisfactory to the vanity Ior
family Immortality. But more than these
and all other advantages Is the advantage
of prolonging ones life. Growing children
will keep any proper man or woman young
in spirit and In mind. will retard the de-
velopment of that sour yet complacent Gym
tcism which curses old age both for ones
self and for those about one.

sort of man or woman-who has children

invaders of Russia seized and held; to TINS
day the mixed races populatng the neigh

After the Russians had retaken the Tartar

place to lie waste for three centuries, until
at length there was founded the monastery

ever to the orthodox Russian as a place OF
pilgrimage honored before all others in the
empire. The present monastery, hermitage
