FATHER DAMIEN'S TRADUCERS.

When man gives up his life for his fellow
men, it is monster who will SANDER his memory.
The man who consecrated his life to God for Gods
children, even though they were epers, was Father
Damien and he died among them as he knew before
hand how he would die. The good Father Damien
was overcome by the awful disease while in charge
of the eper colony in the Hawaiian islands In
reality he was martyr for the cause of Christ
a willing victim for the alienation of those who
endured the tortures of living death.
Most Protestants are liberal in their speech
concerning Catholic charity: more ELUSIVE
in praise of our nuns devoted to such works of
the Lord The writer recalls an address made at
a Mormon meeting house in this city by Major
Richard Young some years ago. He had many
kind things to say of Catholic missions and mis-
sionaries. To Father Damiens labors in Hawaii
he gave especial praise. Major Young was sim
ply reiterating historical truth These Mormon
missionaries come closer to the people than do the
missionaries of the sects. They know of what they
are talking when they get up to talk Major
Young was simply repeating what others of his
faith had observed among the epers of the islands.
Therefore an attempt to backen the character
of Father Damien could only come from a per-
son inspired by the most intense hatred of Cath
olcs and everything that is Catholic. Liberal Pro
testants could endure such vituperation no more
than they could stand an assault upon the Father
of our Country. Decent people of every creed up
hold the memory of Father Damien with the same
spirit they would resent any charge against the
character of the little lady who was killed in
railroad accident the other day--Consul Emma
Booth-Tucker.
One such assassin of character was discovered
in the person of a Rev. Mr.. Hyde in Honolulu
some years ago. Robert Louis Stevenson, the be-
loved novelist, made the name of Hyde odious by
rhetorical lashing, so that really the fame of
Father Damien was carried to the uttermost parts
of civilization through Stevenson's reply to the
leper martyrs assailant.
Another bigot of the Hyde type has recently
turned up-a Mr. Brigham. He happens to be di-
rector of museum of art and ethnology in Homo
lulu. A painting of Father Damien is one of the
treasures of the museum In answer to the ques-
tions of some tourists recently whom he did not
know were Catholics, he repeated the same dirty
barroom SANDER for which Stevenson had scored
the evangelical minister. Gone of the biggest ras-
ealsNthat ever lived" was Mr. Brigham's character
ization of the martyr priest of Molokai whose vol
Hntary sacrifice of all that other men value for the
sake OF bringing both spiritual and temporal COM
fort to the despised epers has forever placed him
among the worlds heroes
The tourists reported his remarks to the Cath

POPULAR CONFIDENCE IN PRIESTS.

The innate consciousness of the common peo-
pie i'll the integrity of the Catholic priesthood is
something that bigotry fails to overcome. Persons
of all creeds and of no creed recognize this quail
ity of the church Instinctively they feel that in
a priests promise they can put confidence; that
what he says to them is stamped with honesty. His
presence allays disorder and prevents panic SO
it is that when public order is threatened it is the
priest, rather than the police military, to whom
the authorities appeal 1t was so at one time in
Butte during the A. P A. riots Good Father De
Sere appeared amid the mob and his kindly ad-
monitions did more to dispense it than anything
else for the fire hose, previously turned on it, had
no appreciate effect.
We find another example of the peoples
tidence in priesthood presented during
the late financial panic. 1t happened at st.
Louis Three of the savings banks were be-
sieged by depositors They were solvent banks, but
the depositors heard something and acted upon that
something 1t is easier to put out fire started by
dynamite explosion than it is to stop run" on
bank. None of the heavy fnanciers of St. Louis
could do it. The people had lost all confidence in
financiers and this was one reason why they would
rather have their dollars in hand than take chances
on the DanK; hlS was the chleI reason Oh the
panicky the savings institutions.
SO, instead of sending for a Rockefeller or
Morgan Schwab to come to their
rescue, the bank directors sent for Arch
bishop Glennon. He came and spoke to
the depositors. Every word he uttered was
as good as hundred cents in dollar to the
people who listened. They turned away without
drawing their accounts, and those who already had
withdrawn their savings turned them back again
into the bank The banks were saved; and another
lesson is given the American people of the
servative, saving power of the Catholic church in
all things pertaining to government and society.

PRAISES B0URKE COCHRAN.

A correspondent of The. Intermountain Cath
olic writing from New York, praises Bourke
Cochran for his practical interest in the work of
the Paulists. He writes
Mr.. Bourke Cochran, the eloquent publicist and
patriot just his check for $500 to the drec
of the Catholic Missionary union for the Catholic
Mission House at Washington. Mr.. Cockrans interest
the Catholic mission work is of many years
standing. His wide outlook the country and his
interest in public has made him appreciate
the advantage of corps of eloquent missionaries, who
will about in unusual places to explain the doctrines
the Church The work that is done in the churches
is very efficient, but there is nothing that conduces
much to progress as systematic and organized
method of getting at the churchless and the unbe-
lever. With that keen appreciation of the work of
the Church, Mr. Cochran readily understood the tre-
mendous impulse that must be given to the cause Of
truth if only there could be placed in diocese
a band of able talented and jealous missionaries, who
can the Catholic anywhere and explain Cath
olc doctrine and answer all questions from the
question box. The Apostolic Mission House proposes
train priests for this work This the impelling
motive that urged him to give generously.

To New Orleans as perhaps nowhere else in the
world, is the term city of the dead" so appropri-
ate to a cemetery as in this quaint delta town.
Here, since the water oozes copiously when one
digs even few feet beneath the surface, all bodies
have to be inferred in tombs rather than in graves
those of wealthy families being often elaborate
mausoleums surmcmted by statues and adorned
with basreliefs those of poorer people, vaults of
brick covered with stucco 1t is difficult to conceive
how Danish the impression that the per-
sons sealed up in these brick vaults and mauso-
leums are really without life and unconscious of
our presence. Mans meditations could not be the
as those which the grave inspires, disclosing
the actual fact of dust returned to dust SO it suits
us better to gaze upon flowers growing from tombs
in our mountain cemeteries and imagine they had
speech with the loved one beneath. Rather the 81
lent tomb than the mausoeum with its statues and
bas-reiefs, the city of the dead guarded by these
eternal hills about US, out from which God speaks
if we but supplicate his voice.

Butte will be, again "a butte" and resume her
place as the great copper camp of the world. The
governor of Montana has called an extra session
of the legislature in response to the universal de-
mand of the people of the state, Following this
call came the welcome order from President
Scallon of the Amalgamated company to raise
steam to start up the mines and shelters, and
part of that steam escaped through the mine
whistles amid the general rejoicing of everybody.
Scallon says all he wants is fair treatment, and
he expects to get it from the legislature. Heinze
replies by saying that fair treatment is all he
requires in order to do business and he is getting
it now. The two corporations have always and viii
always differ about the true definition of 'fair."
The legislature undoubtedly will put it outside the
pale of Clancy Interpretation.

Many temperance people have queer notions of
reforming drunkards We thought the Germans
were exempt from impractical ideas in this drec-
ton, but a novel plan to drunkenness at Kieff
proves the contrary. There the police have orders
to carry such persons as are found intoxicated on
the streets to comfortably equipped halls. They
are under the control of doctor, who sees that
the guests" are properly attended to until they
become sober, when they are liberated. The aver
age time required for becoming sober is ten hours.
This is carrying compassion too far, and the
pertinent will result in increasing rather than di-
minishing the drink habit, although the theory is
that nobody but "a confirmed drunkard will risk
being seen by his townsmen lying drunk in public
hall But it is only the confirmed drunkard who
is intoxicated the street; the other is out
of sight and cared for. What delight this Kief
institution would give the Weary Willies if it were
established in this country.
