BLOODY CRESCENT IN THE BALKANS.

There is something grand in the Turk, after all.
Terribly grand in fighting, terribly cruel in his

Precocious polygamy has stunted the vigor of Mos

a coward, nor will the Turk ever fly from danger
Such is the faith of fanaticism that welcomes the
fatal bullet which speeds his soul to the houris of
Mahometan paradise We think it was at Plevna
that whole Russian army corps gazed in amaze

trenchment and stood there before them, surprised
yet defiant. A hundred guns were eveled at him.

JEWS WANT SEPARATE SCHOOLS.

1t inevitable, in view of recent agitation,
that the question of establishing separate schools
for Jewish children should come up at the con-
vention of the United Orthodox Rabbs, in session
this week in Philadelphia, says the Catholic Uni
verse. The outcome of the discussion was the ap-
polntment of special committee to map out a
system for the conduct of Hebrew schools This
decision might be taken as a vindication of the
Catholic system of education if the system had
not long ago indicated itself As it is the volun-
tary withdrawal of so large and powerful a part
of the public from participation in the benefits
of the public schools will not be without good re-
suits if it serves further to emphasize the inius
tice of taxing all citizens for the support of svs
tenn which cannot be enjoyed by ALL When it
comes to pass-as it seems bound to come to pass
that the United States provides schools for inf
dels and freethinkers and makes all its Christian
citizens provide their own, there may be suAf-
cient protest to that adjustment which pres
ent conditions quite justly, if somewhat less OBJ
viously demand

A convention of delegates of the trades and
labor council of Montana defeated motion to sup
port the Socialist party in political campaigns
This is wisdom. a resolution was adopted calling
for the enactment of law compelling chartered
corporations to pay their employees weekly-a
change from the usual monthly pay day. This is
not wisdom. In the long run, the monthly pay day
is the best to encourage prudence and frugality.
Legislation of the character named, so far from
producing permanent benefit, irritates and invites
reprisal from the corporations More moderate de-
mands and conservative leadership will strengthen
organized labor in Montana and create an entente
cordiale with the business interests of the state.

on fixed principle, give them freedom. He will
learn, as his sanity predecessor learned, that his
sacred Office and his wise counsels arc more valued
and better observed by men welded to ideas of per-
sonal liberty than by men who have sold their per-
sonal liberty for the gided slavery of government
al control. In two countries especially did the late
Pope fail TO win his way, in France and Italy Not
alone the rulers, but the people, neglected or ig
nored his advice. Such fact carries with it it's
own significance, a significance not likely to pass
unnoticed. In the pontfcate of Leo XIII the Ger
man and English speaking peoples drew to
the throne of Peter; in the pontfcate of his sue
cessor they will be drawn nearer still.

PROFIT AND AMUSEMENT.

Much fun and considerable profit
were derived from business enterprise
carried on last season at a seaside re-
sort by two enterprising young women
who happened to know something of
kindergarten work. They rented a
large tent. decorated it with seaweed,
kelp and shells. spread a few rugs on
the sand, had plenty of pillows and
concealed two large trunks with all
necessary accessories behind a couple
of bamboo screens and hung out shin
gle bearing the legend Day Nursery"
The results more than fulfilled their
most sanguine expectations. Parents
going for sail checked their whole
family: mothers ready for morning
dip deposited the baby: fathers tired of
answering questions shifted their re-
sponsibilities on to the willing Shout
ders of the young women in the tent
shelter: young aunts going fishing with
their s.steadies" checked their little
nephews and nieces. The children were
much more comfortable in the tent
than they would have been with their
relatives the latter were infinitely re-
lieved to get rid of them and the
nurses enjoyed both the work and the
money it brought them
