Miss Sophia Magee, residing at Nor

CHuRCH AND STATE.

e'The New World was discovered by
Catholics, and the cross was planted IN
the name of the church. We cannot
get it out of our heads that Catholics
will yet claim the New World again"
This hope was expressed by Archbishop
James Z. Quigley in an address before
the Roman Catholic Woman's S League In
Chicago yesterday.
The archbishop declared that the Sc
curity of the national constitution in
creases proportionately with the increase
in the number of Roman Catholics. lie
urged the establishment of a subsidiary
system OF the public schools for the ben
eft of the Roman Catholics. "This sys-
tenn for the benefit of the minority"
said the speaker, ''should be paid for by
the State, but controlled by the church. ="
Finally he characterized the rule requir-
ing the candidates for public school
teachers to have normal school training
to be nothing more nor less than ''ty-
ranny" and "oppressi,n."
The supreme and fundamental error
Of the age is liberalism, urged the arch
bishop. liberalism delegates to the
state all rights, and this is when the
state and the church conflict. " The
education of the child, he added, should
rest with the church and not with the
state. He declared that the United
States constitution stood for individual
ism. He asserted that today the state is
encroaching on the rights of the church,
and that God is not recognized 10 any OF
the modern constitutions. "Protestants
and Catholics" the archbishop
continued, ''are undertaking through
the present public school system to pre-
vent the Catholic children from becom-
ing firmly cemented to their church and
to keep the Catholic Church from get
ting stronger foothold. The purpose
of the nom Catholics is to prevent the
growth of the church. They will scruPle
at no violation of justice to gain their
ends. "The state" he urged, "must
provide schools for the minority as well
as for the majority. The State should
divide the public school system and
maintain a separate system for the
miuority-separate in the sense OF re-
ligious teaching. The two systems
could be under one control, but in the
Catholic division Catholic principles
should be taught. This would give the
minority an equal chance with the
majority. This would bejust and equit-
able, but not satisfactory TO the Prot
estants. The cry all over is for non
sectarlan education. The Catholic
schools are recognized by the State, but
they are not supported by the State be,
cause nom Catholics believe that it would
be dangerous for the State to support
them"

SITUATION IN THE EAST.

Considerable anxiety it is said exists
in the best informed circles of London
regarding the possible outcome of the
situts ton IN the Far East. Fears, it is
said, are expressed that the Russian gov
ernment may have overstepped the
bounds which would make a continuation
OF peaceful negotiations with Japan pos
sible. 1t may be regarded as quite Ger
tain. it is asserted, that Japan will not ac-
cept the principles of the last Russian
note, which are altogether at variance
with Japan's contentious and that
Japan's reply must necessarily be
cast in this sense. Apart from the the
delicate state of the negotiations between
the two nations, it is also known that
Russia is assuming a more defiant atti-
tude, and the outlook lmay be regarded
as more gloomy than It hitherto has been
although it cannot be said that the re-
sources of diplomacy have been complete

Havana, Jan. 19.-The convention of

ton, namely, Republicans, Democrats
and some men whoever formerly Ma
tionalistS, has unanimously adopted the
principals through which it expects to
effect a ratification of all President Pal

the Platt amendment and not seeking
to give other than the most simple in
depreciation to the language thereof.
The platform declares that Cuba is
bound by both political and economic
considerations to carry out reciprocity
with the United States.
The opposition party continues to be
controlled by the Radicals. A major
ty of the latter are on the committee
which is formulating the party decla-
rations.
The platform of the Republican con-
servative party declares in general
terms in favor of gold standard cur
rency.

AS each man jumped down he was
greeted with boots and yells, but no
personal violence was attempted, until
six or eight men had gained the en-
trance to the hall. Then the failure to
win over any men SO angered the
Knights of Labor that the rest of the
new cutters were obliged to run very
lively gauntlet. Some of them had their
hats knocked in, others were pushed
and mauled, while the last man was
taken hold of bodily and carried off by
the crowd. The man struggled to free
himself and in doing so had his coat
completely torn from his back and his
hat battered out of shape.
In spite of the efforts of the Boot and
Shoe Union officials who were in the
hall. the man was taken to the Knights
of Labor headquarters as a prisoner OF
war. Here he gave himself up to the
other side and promised not to return
to work, tomorrow, at the factory. He
gave his name as Gould and said that
he came from Auburn, Me-, being in
duced to come to Lynn by an agent of
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union.
The officials Of the Knights of Labor
supplied Gould with a new hat and
coat. tonight.
Later. several of the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union lodged complaint
with the city marshal against the
Knights of Labor and asked for assist
ance to rescue the captured man. One
police officer was detailed and with five
Boot and Shoe Union officials went to
the Knights of Labor headquarters.
They gained an entrance to the build
ing, but were met by over so of the
Knights of Labor, and as the officer
had no writ of entrance he, with the
Boot and Shoe men, was forcibly eject
ed from the building.
