have Justice done in thescase, but met
with many obstacles in the way of OIL
cial obstruction. The murder, as 1t
would seem to be, was effected by
much the same form of torture as
that of Father Augustine, but the
courtmartial which investigated the
tragedy, like that in the similar case,
found no difficulty in acquitting the
perpetrators. 1t is evident that the
justice of a Philippines military tri-
bunal is somewhat. on par with the

1t is interesting to observe in what
unlocked for quarters the adoption OF
Lenten austerities is becoming fash
ionable. Among even those who but
a few years since regarded the pious
practices of this season as surviving
relics of detested Popery, the spirit
and exercises of the penitential time
are finding general and enthusiastic
favor. As imitation is said to be the
sincerest form of flattery, it may be
hoped that the change of view mani
tested by our separated brethren In
this respect is the beginning of more
just and rational attitude of mind
among them toward the true Church.
To know Catholicity in its real char
acter means the removal of the bar
riers of prejudice and misconceptlon
which serve to keep many religious
minded and well meaning Christians
out of the ancient fold.-Monitor.

An eastern priest who wants more
liberality shown toward the collection
box says:
There are three uses, is seems, for
the use of pennies. One is to throw
them to organ grinders, another is to
use them in Slot machines. and the
third is to give them to the church.
This puts the church in the same class
as the organ grinders and slot ma
chimes, and l don't think it is right
that it should be so. l have noticed at
the monthly collection that poor shop
girls will deny themselves some little
luxury to contribute at least % cents,
while strong men sitting beside them
will throw a nickel into the collection
basket, and Immediately after leaving
the church visit some saloon and spend
anywhere from so cents to 81, and
think nothing of doing so. To these
men l say: If you can only afford to
give a penny or 5-cent piece, you are
robbing yourselves and the church
doesn't want you to rob yourselves;
under such circumstances you need the
money more than the church.
Certainly man should give more to
the church during the year than to
the saloon or the theatre.-Catholic

CONFERENCE" FAVORS
THE LANDLORDS
Continued from Page u

the tenant would give and what the
landlord would have to get, having to
be more or less reduced. not at all by
pulling down the landlords price-for
that is definitely fixed at twenty seven
and one-half years purchase-but by
working up the price to be paid by the
tenant, his being the one item in the
transaction that is left underlined in
the scheme.
s. Now, inasmuch as the first of those
three ways of providing the twenty
seven and one-half years purchase for
the landlord involves the payment of
the money by the tenant himself with
out the help of any grant from the
state, that particular way of finding
the money might be left out of the
question if the conference had agreed
as it has, in deed been stated, with
amazing persistency, but with surpris-
ing inaccuracy, that the conference
did agree-that a state grant would be
required for the working out of the
scheme.
6. The conference, however, agreed to
nothing of the kind. The wording of
the scheme in reference to this matter
is curiously, and, 1 must say, to me,
unaccountably reserved. The point is
dealt with in article u. What was real
ly agreed to, as there stated, was that
state grant may be required. In
other words a grant may be required
or il may not be. The expression thus
strangely used can. have no other
meaning.

will let its treasury yield to
the full flow of the animal
spirits. A young American, who
traces his lineage back three genera
tons, said to the writer few weeks
ago: What is there in the Irish char
acter that they must so often uncork
themselves and allow the animal nature
to fizz?" He had saved all his earnings
for long time, but his buoyant nature
could not stand prosperity which he I'M
dertook to increase by dropping a nickel
in the slot. The result was he dropped
financially to zero. He took his loss
as natural result of his Irish lineage,
which meant buoyant, generous ma
ture, that was cheerful in adversely.
Strict economy is his motto at present.

Statement of Indian Bureau.

THE following statement of receipts
will serve to make known what the
Society for the Preservation of
complished from Oct. 1, 1901, (the date
of its inception), to Dec. 81, 1902:
Amount collected through the direct
efforts of the Bureau of Catholic Mis-
sions by appeals in Catholic papers,
personal appeals and the efforts of
priests who have generously devoted a
portion of their time to furthering the
interests of the society, $11, 9S9.19.
Amount collected in the diocese of
Cleveland, as a result of the establish
ing of the society by Right Rev. Bishop
Horstmann, $9,5S1.4S.
Amount collected in the archdiocese
of Philadelphia by Rev. H. G. Ganss,
SS,672.24.
Total. sSO,192S6.
The Bureau of Catholic Missions de-
sires to express its appreciation in a
special manner of the generosity Of the
archdiocese of Philadelphia and of the
diocese of Cleveland; of the notable in
terest manifested by Right Rev. Bishop
Horstmann, and of the jealous, untiring
and fruitful efforts of the Rev. Father
Ganss.

reau of Catholic Indian Missions.
Approved: j. Cardinal Gibbons,
Archbishop of Baltimore; P. ]. Ryan,
Archbishop of Philadelphia; John M.
Farley, Archbishop of New York, in
corporators of the Bureau of Catholic
Indian Missions.
1t may be added that the amount coll
lected so far is about one-fourth of
what is needed every year to keep up
our educational establishments among
the Indians. If congress at this session
had given to the Indians their just dues
in the way of rations, about $4,000
would have been saved to the Indian
boarding schools, but it is very evident
that nothing con be expected from that
body at this time. The very atmos-
mosphere at the capitol is anti-Catho-
lie. There was a time when congress
was willing to judge any bill by its
merits. That time has passed. Bills
for the relief of Protestant churches go
through without friction, but a Catho-
lie measure, no matter how just, is met
with the convenient cry of sectarian
legislation, or of pretended fear of
union of church and state; or with sim
liar nonsense. 1t seems indeed as if
the spirit of A. P Aism which has died
out in the country at large had found
congenial resting place at the national
capital
The rations bill had no chance of
passing as an amendment to the In
dian bill, because it was subject to
point of order. The only hope of success
lay in an independent bill, but there
were few members who would have
been willing to father it. One of these
few-and we state this from personal
knowledge-was preparing, not alone to
it but to fight it out on the
floor of the house. But he was defeat
ed at the last election by a very small
Catholic paper contributing
largely to that result by violent at
tack upon him a few days before the
election. With this knowledge he was,
nevertheless, prepared to fulfill his
promise. but other counsels prevailed
at the Bureau of Catholic Indian Mis-
sions where another trial of an amend
ment was decided upon.

Educational Tax.
(Communicated.)


THE PEOPLE of our city felt that
trust in our Governor Heber NJ.
Wells had been very much mis-
placed when word came forth last
week that he had vetoed the educa-
tional tax bill. It was certainly
against the whole general sentiment OF
the people of our city,. which was most
emphatfcally expressed in the mass
meetings held and committees ap-
pointed to meet legislators early in the
year. The people have most generously
offered to support our school, but their
governor has deprived them of the OPP
portunity.
BY careful computation it has been
shown that with the present nine
months school the children are now in
school ISL days and out 15s, on account
of vacations, holidays, Saturdays, etc.
Surely this is too much time for our
children to idle. We know now that
months course prescribed and less
than nine months in which to do the
work, and a constant rush at the end
of the school year that the teachers
in their persistent efforts are able to
complete the course, and with all this
effort a loss in results is sure to be
sustained.
1t has been rumored that the govern
or justifies himself by saying that this
bill was an unnecessary one, as the
right of raising this city tax lies wholly
within the power of the county COM
misisoners upon application of the
board of education. Well, a test will
prove it, and it is certainly to be hoped
for the good of our children, our citi-
zens, our city itself, that it is true.

cATHoLIC OPINION

A thriving Congregational church in
New York has surrendered not to the
Mormon, but to Mormonism. At the
beginning of last year two of its most
earnest Christian Endeavor leaders fell
away and adopted the Mormon faith.
Since then the female members have
been passing over the the polygamous
gospel in tens and twenties. Last Sun
day the pastor announced the indefi-
mite suspension of Congregationalist
services. A question might arise as to
the plurality. The Mormons believe in
plurality of wives, but the Congrega-
tionalists believe in free love. Is there
not sufficient identity of creed here
to establish in the seceders a valid
claim to the church edifice?-Western
Waterman.
The president seems to have been
aroused at last to the gravity of the
evidence as to the brutality of some
sections of the army, inasmuch as he
consented last week to receive Mrs.
Richter. the mother of d. private sol
der who had been tortured to death

This evenings bill at the Opera
House has been especially chosen by
the Neill management as likely to
prove especially attractive for the
members of the Asiatic fleet.
The play is the Lottery of Love"
and every act is a sheer laugh. The
comedy runs on the mother-in-law joke
dfshed up in a new light in which a
mans first wife becomes the mother
in-law of his second marriage. James
Neill is the much worried man while
John Burton is also under the mother
in-law ban, much to his disgust.
Lillian Andrews is the mother-in-
law, clad in boomers and a general
Carrie Nation makeup. Under her rule
troubles and misunderstanding rap
idly thicken and create side splitting
situations.
All the parts add towards the humor
of the play at large, everyone having
fun making character to sustain.

FRIARS AND LAND.

The friars began work in the Phil
ippines $50 years ago. They civilized
the natives and taught them agricui-
ture. During these $50 years they re-
ceived various grants of land from the
Government which lands are separate
and distinct from church property, the
ownership resulting from their personal
efforts in lines of industry apart from
their church work. Whereas the church
property in the islands, as in the Unit
ed States, belongs to the peiple of the
respective parishes, the title resting in
the name of the several Bishops, and
ed States, belongs to the people of the
parishioners, the lands of the friars are
the property of the orders to which
they belong, and held for the advance
ment of the community interest, which
is an educational one.
"Now, if the friars choose to sell this
property and they are offered a salts
factory price, they are at liberty to do
so. They may dispose of their lands
precisely as a man sells realty in this
country. The acreage of the friar
lands in the Philippines is not as
great as some people suppose There
III Sdll1Oi ND WllOSC
holdings of lands are as great as the
entire holdings of all the friars in the
Philippines. Their holdings approx
mate 100000 acres"
Archbishop Hartv said that many
of the Spanish friars had left the ISL
ands since they passed under Ameri-
can control. He said that 400 friars
have gone back to Spain and 800 more
have gone to South America, leaving
about, 400 in the entire Philippine
archipelago.
Archbishop HARRY is native of St.
Louis and has lived there the greater
part of his life. He received his early
education there and his theological
training at ST Vincent's, Cape Girar-
deau, Mo. He was ordained in April,
1873, and for eleven years acted as as
sistant at ST. Bridget's Church, St.
Louis. He then took charge of ST.
Leo's parish and remained there Until
his appointment to the see of Manila.

Archbishop ]. ]. Harry on his way to
Manila to take charge of the affairs of
the Catholic church in the Philippines
is through passenger on the China.
He is a guest during his brief stay in
the city at the Alexander Young Hotel.
Archbishop Harry is the first Amer
lean Archbishop of Manila and goes to
assume charge of the affairs of the
Catholic church in the entire Philippine
archipelago. Early in June last he re-
ceived cab1egram from the Holy See
announcing his appointment to the
See of Manila. He went to Rome and
was consecrated on August 18th. He
was the last Bishop named by the late
Pope, Leo XIII, and the first to be
confirmed by the new Pope, Plus x,
by whom he was presented with beau
tifully chased pectoral cross, which he
prizes highly.
The Archbishop has made no particu-
lar plans for his work in the Philip
pines, although he has given much
study to the situation in the archipelago.
He hopes, however, to accomplish a
great deal of good by the upbuilding
of schools and colleges in the new
American possessions His views on
the work in the Philippines are given
in the San Francisco Chronicle as fol-
lows:

CATION he said, s'that the people of
the Philippines, on the whole, are not
uneducated. There, as in every other
section of the world, you will find
many people who have been denied
the opportunity to obtain an educa-
ton. We have illiterate people in
this country, and in some sections
Tennessee, for instance-there is a
considerable population of illiterate
people The percentage of illiteracy
in the Philippines, however, is quite
small, and l hope to see this condition
greatly improved as the years roll
by."
