approval of The ntermountan Catholic since its es-
Enlistment in this diocese will state that consider
the founding of Catholic in Salt Lake not the

Another instance of the injustice that results
from lack of local government in Alaska is con
tanned in a recent federal order prohibiting the
killing of the great brown bear, the sea lion and the
walrus, except under certain restrictions within
the limits of the territory These Comparatively use
less animals form large part of the food supply
of the natives in certain regions of the immense
territory. This winter the natives viii have to dis
obey the law starve. The collector OF customs
at Sitka has written to Washington a vigorous de-
mand for the removal of the restrictions, but in
the meantime the native goes hungry. Attempts
to govern territory the size of Alaska from so
remote a point as Washington not only is I'M
American, but it comes close to being criminal as
well.

Apostolic Mission House.

Correspondence Intermountain Catholic)
Washington, Oct. 29-The Apostolic Mission
House at the Catholic University, in Washing
ton, has opened its second year with an increased
number of students Pending the completion OF
the new building the priests who are following
the lectures given by Father ELLIOTT are living in
Keane Hall. The new Mission House will be I'm
ished by JAN l. but the blessing of it will not take
place till after Easter, when the ArchbishOps are
assembled for their annual meeting. 1t looms up
most majestically ON the University grounds, and
both in style of architecture and in appearance
very noticeable among the group of buildings that
surround the University. There are now eighteen
students attending the lectures Four are from the
South and two are Benedictines.
The arrangement that Is made with the Bish-
ops in the South is to accept their students with
out any expense to the diocese and to provide
salary for them for five years while engaged in
mission work. The Northern dioceses that are
represented among the students are Dubuque, Peo-
ria and the dioceses where the Apostolate bands
are already existing
In Pittsburg, through the practical management
of Bishop Canevin, the diocesan mission band has
been put on a permanent basis. Rev. Edward Grlt-
lin, who was been pastor at New Brighton, Pa, tor
some years, has been made the head of the do
cesar missionaries, and associated with him are
three English-speaking priests, a Slav and an
italian.
The beautiful church at Mt. Washington. on
the South side, has been assigned to the Mission
band, and every opportunity is given to them to
do efficient diocesan work. The establishment OF
the Pittsburg band is another link in the chain OF
Apostolate Mission bands that will before many
years stretch across the country.
1t is just ten years since the non-Cathohc
mission work began in its organized form, and the
results in awakening religious activity, and IN DIS
sipating ignorance, In stopping the leakage and III
building up the Church, are most remarkable
The Paulists, in their missions, during the past
year received under instruction 1852 converts.

Socialism is founded; that free love is an integral
part of Socialism, that Socialism would destroy
the State; that the principles and tactics of the
Socialist party are antagonistic to the American
Federation of Labor. Workngmen, especially,
could reach conviction by listening to sober argu-
ment in debate much better than by devouring the
tracts and newspapers published in the interest of
Socialism. The cult attacks the wage system, and
with its destruction would come the death of OPP
portunity in industrial life. This point could not
be enlarged too much in the presence of a labor
audience

The exports of iron and steel products of the
United States for the last seven years have adj
vanced from $62. 1871 $50 in 1s97-the first year of
trade expansion-to $96,642 467 this year, gain
of 81 per cent. During all of this period high
tariff has prevailed, on the theory that American
manufacturers, while paying fair wages to work
men, are unable to compete successfully. in the
absence of protection with the manufacturers of
Europe, who enjoy the advantage of cheap labor.
The value Of the argument is challenged by the
export figures.

\ Catholic youth of 10 years was the hero of
the ceremonies attending the unwilling OF the
statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman. at
Washington, d. c., recently. He is a grandson of
"Old Tecumseh," and his name is William Te-
cumseh Sherman Thorndike. 1t is not generally
known that General Sherman was married to
Catholic wife, nor that this relationship presented
the chief obstacle to his nomination for the pres-
dency. Thorndikc the Boston lad who pulled the
string that uncovered the statute, is too young to
comprehend this fact in its full significance, but
time will make his Catholic faith all the stronger
through recoections of the bgotry which denied
his grandfather the honor of exalted political
lie.

When propaganda reaches strength IN num-
bers and intelligence the most sensible way to
overcome it is reached through solid argument.
The Socialist party in the United States will
never accomplish what its lecturers and stump
orators proclaim; nevertheless Its superficial logic
has persuasive influence upon the minds of the
discontinued. To fling odium at it only provokes
resentment In Massachusetts the party numbers
some of the leading men Of the state, one of its
candidates bearing the historical name of John
Quincy Adams. To counteract the influence of
the Socialist campaign, it is proposed to hold
joint debate at Boston. Martha Moore Avery and
David Goldstein have challenged the Socialist
standard bearers to discuss the following propo-
