While we find much in political literature now
adays IN support of or against Carroll D. Wright's
presentation of figures regarding wages and the
cost of living. miss mention of the strike at Fall
River which began three months ago and is not
ended up to last advices. Our contemporary at
Providence, r. l., the Visitor two weeks ago said
the condition of affairs in Fall River is deplorabe.
Business men for whom the passing days ought to
bring rush of trade at their wits ends to make
up their running expenses. The mill workers
scarcely have money enough for the necessaries of
life; and many of them are suffering from hunger.
The population of Fall River has fallen off bv 10
600 since the strike began, hundreds of families
having emigrated to Canada and to other nlaces
where employment is held out to them. It is esti-
mated that since the strike began the operators
Ihave lost $1,500000 in wages; the loss TO manu-
sacturers cannot be estimated with any degree of
accuracy but 1t is certain that many large contracts
had to be refused last month because the agents
could not guarantee to fill them The only source
of revenue is the assistance received from tbe
unions. Whether or not the non-unionists receive
any money from the unions is not clearly known
but it is that most of them are OBLIGED to ac
cept the public charities. How long the strike is
going to last is matter of mere conjecture. If
strikes are good thing for Democrats it would
seem expedient for their opponents to set some
thing going that should settle the affair at Fall
River.

but far from the steady consumers of it falling
dead in their tracks, they appear to fatten on it
and live longer than the aristoeratic drinker who
calls for "two-bit" toddy over fashionable bar.
Dr. c. w. Wiley, chief of the government bureau
of chemistry, has sounded note of warning. In
an interview he expressed the opinion that fully IS
per cent of all the whskey sold in this country in
hotels, restaurants clubs and bars was nothing less
than cheap imitation. While this may not be
fatally poisonous, very much of it is dangerous to
the human system, even when taken moderately.

How to Avoid Pneumonia.

sudden and startling increase both in Chi,
cago and in New York of deaths from pneumonia
and the appropriation in the latter city of $4,000
for the study of the disease draw attention to the
approach of the season when pneumonia is moSt
prevalent, says the Chicago Tribune. For the week
ending the 18th instant, the number of deaths in
Chicago from "the new captain of the men of
death was so per cent greater than for the cor.
responding week year ago.
Pneumonia is the despair of the medical profcs.
sion. While the death rate from many other dis.
eases has been reduced that of pneumonia has
steadily increased. While in 1860 pneumonia
claimed four out of every 10000 Chicagoans and
consumption twenty-five, in 1900 twenty lives were
lost to pneumonia for every fifteen to consump.
ton.
Not only IS there no specific for pneumonia
but many people are to an extent in the incipieni
stages of the disease without knowing it. This is
due to the fact that the bacterium of pneumonia
exists so commonly In the saliva of many healthy
persons that it is considered almost normal in.

During the six months of the coming winter
more than 2,100 persons in this city will become
victims of pneumonia. Nobody will be immune
from the summons of the death captain 1t will

But there are certain rules of living which will

Avoid mingling with crowds when extremity

Admit into all rooms where you live and work

Keep warm when indoors even if it Is neces.

cure for pneumonia so good living is practically
the only preventive.

THE CARDINALS VIEW POINT.

A correspondent of the Paris Gaulois recently
had an interview with Cardinal Gibbons and OBJ
tanned his opinion on the question of church and
state In France. The opinions of Cardinal Glib
bons, whether we agree or disagree with his con-
illusions, always bear weight.
Cardinal Gibbons speaks good French, and be-
ing questioned as to what he thought would come
out of the separation of church and state said
he could not venture to express an opinion, as
France and the United States we're two such diff
ferent countries. Asked, however, what would be
his attitude if he French archbishop, the
cardinal replied that he would do his utmost to
prevent the denunciation of the Concordat. He
would speak differently if France had a govern
mept like that of the United States. He en-
phaticaly declared himself to be partisan of
free church in free state. But would they in
France have that liberty He doubted it. What
little he knew of the French government led him to
believe, the contrary, that the church would
have no liberty at all, and that separation would
only be the beginning of fresh persecution. 1t was
not sufficient for the church to possess liberty;
it was necessary also that it should be respected.
In America, the cardinal continued, the church
never lacked the consideration of those who ruled
the people. The American government seemed, on
the contrary to make point of showing it special
regard, and seized every opportunity of proving
their esteem for it. If the church so prosper
Gus it because it possessed not only liberty,
but, above all, universal respect. Unfortunately,
if once the Concordat were denounced in France,
it would have neither one nor the other.
Cardinal Gibbons also called his interlocutor's
attention to the fact that the financial conditions
in France and the United States were entirely diff
ferent. In America the church was rich and self
supporting through the numerous gifts made by
the faithful. The latter consisted of two cate
gories. There were the English, Irish, and Poles
OH the one hand, who were the more numerous and
gave freely. On the other hand there were the
Italians and the French, who never gave anything
to the church because they knew that in their own
country the priest was paid by the government,
and consequently looked upon him as a state Of
fetal generation would be required to teach
these latter the duties they had contracted towards
the church In the event of separation in France
years would be required to make the people under
stand that they ought to pay for their public wor-
ship and their priests. His Emminence anticipated
a sad time for the French clergy. In the mean
time he was fully persuaded that thanks to its in
tellectual value and the spirit of sefsacrifce of
the French priests the church would eventually
triumph. France was not yet ripe for separation,
but, come what might, Cardinal Gibbons was sure
of the ultimate victory of the church

SCHOOLS QUESTION IN PARIS.

When NJ Combes dissolved the teaching congre-
cations, it felt that heavy burden would fall
upon the shoulders of the French taxpayer But,
ii the rest of France follows the example of Paris
the taxpayer may escape. For in Paris the reg-
Gus schools will largely be opened under lay man
agement and with lay teachers. So NJ Chautard,
who is a municipal councillor of Paris, has de-
clared and he assured one of the editorial staff of
the "Ecair" that notices of the intended opening
of these ex-religious schools had been already
lodged at the prefecture of the Seine. This action
Of the Catholics in Paris will prove as displeasng
to the ant-clericals as it is pleasant to the tax
payers. For the former had all along expected
that with the disappearance of the teaching Orders
the whole system of free Catholic schools would
fall to the ground. That forecast now proves in
correct, and though in some cases the Catholics
viii not be able to meet the demands upon them
for school provision, they will nevertheless leave
but small burden to be borne by the taxpayer.
The example they have set of valiantly providing
schools in which religion shall be taught is one
that may be widely initiated throughout France.
The religious education of children is the best and
surest safeguard of social order.
