noticed two policemen, who seemed anchored at
either corner of the Bowen grounds, which extend
back to Columbia Heights. The sight Of one blue
coat not to speak of two. Is such rarity on the
Heights that some one surmised that their presence
was due to Mr.. Bowen, and spoke to him about

encouragement to all requests for parks in various
parts OF the borough. There are at least a dozen
propositions of this kind before him now and new
ones are cropping up every day. On Saturday the

A PEACEFUL STRIKE.

No strike was ever conducted with
more order on the part of the strikers
than the present strike in the flour

titled to much credit for the manner
in which they have conducted them.
selves and prevented mischief-makers
from causing trouble. Nothing would
sooner turn public sympathy away
from the strikers than the use of force
or violence. The strikers have main-
tanned pickets, but the efforts Of pick
citing have gone no further than to
present the cause of the strikers to
new corners and to use moral suu sion
to prevent new men from taking the
place Of the strikers. This the strik-
ers have right to do, just as the mill
operators have a right to use similar
means to get new men. 1t would be
hard to find two thousand men any
where, among whom there were not
number Of hot-headed enthusiasts
ready to resort to extreme measures.
There are undoubtedly some such
among the mill strikers. but they have
so far been kept under control by their
comrades. We are informed that the
strikers have not allowed any man
under the influence of liquor to go
upon the picket lines. The police de-
partment of the city has been en-
abled to preserve the best of order
in the entire district with Il mere half
dozen policemen. The only dlsorderly
acts committed up to the present time
have been committed by some of the
young men, whom the millers en-
ployed to take the place of the strk-
ers. 1t is said that some of these
threw stones from within the mills
at the strikers. This. no doubt, was
the work of IL few persons who want
cd to see some excitement, and must
not be charged against the millers.
But it is greatly to the credit of the
strikers that they have remained cool
unuef these tauntS, ana it is also benC-
fetal to their cause The mill EN-
ployes seem to realize, what strikers
often lose sight of, that public opin-
ion is the most powerful factor in all
such disputes. Strikers can never
hope to win in IL contest if they turn
public sympathy against them by acts
of violence and rioting. No more
peaceful strike ever took place than
the present strike in Minneapolis. and
the credit is all due to the strikers
themselves. We hope it will continue
to be peaceful and that the men may
secure all that they are rightly ell
titled to.

each other for divorce 1t would also
make every defendant in divorce
case, who was not at fault, to defend
and prevent divorce by default.
There would be fewer default divorce
cases and absolutely no divorces by
collision of the parties. And outside
of all religious and moral considera.
tons, is there any good reason WHY
such provision should not be incor.
porated into the divorce law of every
state? We grant that it would be in.
flnitely better if there were no recog-
nlzed ground for divorce. But society
cannot be remodeled at once. The all
solute prohibition of the right to re-.
marry would go long way toward
helping the evil. Something must no
done IN the matter or society and the
state will be undermined. In the civ
OF Cleveland alone the records show
an average Of five applications for
divorce each day, and the courts are
unable to keep up with the demands
The records for a year show two
divorces for every five marriages
Such record means grave trouble.

1.-The eight-page Illustrated supple
ment which the Boston Herald devot-
ed in it's issue of Sunday, September
9th, to the summary of the Catholic
history of Boston for the past one hun
bred years was a notable piece of jour-
nalistic enterprise and deserved the
praise bestowed upon it by priests and
people," says the Pilot. s'"rhe mere
fact of such an intelligent recognition
of the Church is the most eloquent
testimony to the place and power
which it has attained in Boston. What
q little space sufficed for the Catholic
record in the daily press of Boston a
hundred years ago! There was not a
Catholic journal then in the whole
country. 1t was more than twenty
years later before Bishop England es-
tablished the United States Catholic
Miscellany, at Charleston, S. c.; and
more than thirty years before cour-
ageous young Irish printer, in the per-
son of Patrick Donahoe, founded The
Pilot in Boston. When the secular
press alluded to the Catholic Church
