\ cable dispatch from Berlin states
that John Alexander Dowie, the Zionist
missionary. has been holding forth in
the German capital, on the beauties and
advantages of his Illinois City of Zion.
in which any person can secure a "set-
Element" by turning over all his world
ly possessions to Dowie and his asso-
GATES and emigrating to the new Zion,
i'll a condition as nearly approaching to
the primitive state Of our first parents
as the rules of modern civilization will
permit. says the New York irish Ameri-
can. 1t is noticeable, however, that
Dowie keeps as far as possible from
his ideal city: and that while profess
ing to be follower and disciple of The
1neffable One, who, in this world, chad
not wherein to lay his head" he has
just engaged for himself the Berlin
apartments previously occupied by one
of the Vanderbilts, at a cost of $40 a
day! Yet. it is after such mountebanks
as this fellow that multitudes of people
run crazy, and imagine they are Eek
periencing religion" In view of such
facts our modern civilization can hard
ly be regarded as an unqualified sic
cess.

Father Thos. E. Cox, who offered the
prayer at the opening of the Republic
can national convention on Wednesday
is noted as a lecturer and litterateur
and for his earnest advocacy of tenn
perance. For number of years he
otficiated in st. Jarlaths Roman Catho.
lie parish in Chicago, but last summer
was promoted by Archbishop Quigley
to be assistant pastor of Holy Name
cathedral. Father Cox, who is about
GO years Of age has devoted much of
his time to promoting the spiritual well
fare of the inmates of the county hos.
pital and of other public institutions,
and for years has been student of
sociological subjects. Last spring he
was a member Of the committee that
investigated the administration of jus.

Every week the signs are increasing
that Judge Parker will be the next
nominee of the Democratic party The
The Democratic states are for him, the
doubtful states are for him and only
overwhelming Republican states with
a populist minority are against him.
This week Texas and Louisiana have
added their votes to his column. The
Hearst candidacy is dead. 1t has ac-
complished one great object, it has
crystallized Democratic sentiment in
advance of the convention. If it had
not been for Hearst and his candidacy
everything would now be conjecture,
for none of the southern states would
have Instructed. In order to put a
quietus on this candidate the south
has departed from precedent and i'll
structed its delegates. This was nee
essary, for the Hearst enthusiasts got
into the bad habit of claiming every
thing that did not instruct against him.
They are today claiming the support
of Tammany although Tammany lead
ers have declared for Cleveland, the
extreme antithesis of Hearst and
Bryan.

For some reason this attempt at or.
ganized applause failed. The carefully
planned demonstration which was in

tons resulted in a weak chorus of
cheers. There was absolutely no reason
except the contract which the national

of Chicago why the convention could
not have performed all the motions it

Surely the Republican party has or

Lucrative body at any rate. 1t will not
disclose the fine organization which the
country saw on parade in Chicago last
week, but it will show a gathering of
more than one thousand men from diff
ferent sections of the country intent
upon enforcing their varied views up
Oh their fellow delegates. There may
be an absence of harmony as there
likely will be but the evidence of over
training will be absent. There is no
disputing the fact that the Republican
party is today owned by the great cor
porations of the country and owned so
absolutely that even no discussion of
a tariff policy was permitted to creep
out in the convention although it is
we'll known that large section of the
rank and file of the party is opposed
to the present ''stand pat policy. AS
between the fine organization of the
Republican party owned and controll-
ed by those who receive special bene-
fits at its hand and the lack of har-
mony and organization of the Demo-
cracy, give us the latter: it betokens a
more healthy condition.

CARDINAL sAToLLrs VISIT.

Catholics in this country are natural
ly deeply interested in the visit to this
country of that distinguished church
man and scholar Cardinal Satolli The
secular press as is usual in the case of
church matters is busy assigning rea-
sons for the visit of so prominent a
member of the Roman Curia. Needless
to say these papers do not know what
they are talking about. We suspect
that the cardinal has no other mission
except to revisit again the country to
which he was the first apostolic dele
gate and to become better acquainted
with the church and it's needs in this
country. Catholics of this country take
a deep pride in Cardinal Satolli whose
great intellect and learning has made
him one Of the most prominent church
men at Rome. He has ever since he
was appointed apostolic delegate
shown great interest in the United
States and it's people. 1t is we'll for
American Catholics that there is at
Rome such man as Cardinal Satolli.
The whole world knows that he more
than any other one person is respon-
sible for the election of Plus X. to the
Papal throne. 1t cannot be doubted
that he has great influence with the
highest powers in the church at Rome
and that his influence is and will con-
tinue to be eXerted for the benefit of
the church in this country. The United
States while not Catholic country
in the sense that there is any connec-
ton between church and state is new
ertheless the most fertile field for
spreading the Catholic religion that ex-
lists. The large immigration to this
country from southern and eastern Eu-
rope, mostly Catholic. has made it al
most if not quite impossible for the
church to adequately look after it's peo-
pie. No people ever responded more
freely to the needs of the church than
the Catholics of the United States, but
the growth of the Catholic population
largely from the poorer class has been
so rapid that even the loyalty and lib
eralty of the American Catholics have
not been sufficient to keep pace. Car
dinal Satolli understands the situation
in this country better than any other
cardinal at Rome and his visits to this
country will but increase his know
ledge of the possibilities and needs of
the church here. 1t is we'll that Rome
should understand the American gov
eminent and it's people and thus be
able to deal with us here in this coun-
try on the correct basis. The cardinal
will be received most heartily wher-
ever he goes in this country for the
work and residence here is still fresh
in the memory of all.

Mr.. Bryan did himself grave in
justice when he so far forgot himself
as to go to New York and there in a
public meeting protest against the
Democrat whom the state of New
York had intrusted it's delegates to
support for the same nomination
which four years ago that state voted
to give to Mr.. Bryan. Does Mr.. Bryan
really expect to support the nominee
of his porty OF does he intend to en-
roll himself with the boilers about
whom he has said so much in the
last eight years. Mr.. Bryan has the
right that any Democrat has to ex.
press his opinions upon policies and
candidates, but Mr.. Bryan disregards
the courtesies he owes to the great
party which twice honored him when
he descends to the level of common
scold and rushes from one part of the
country to the other to abuse men,
one of whom may be the candidate of
his party for president. He lowers his
own dignity by so doing and grieves
many thousands of loyal Democrats
who are still his great admirers.

At the recent Los Angeles Methods

At the recent Los Angeles Methodist
conference the individual named King,
who introduced the resolution deroga-
tory to Catholicism, has thus been de-
scribed by the San Francisco Leader:
''A,lng is the compiler of book called
Facing the Twentieth Century, which
he has stuffed full of all manner of lies
against the church. He does not con-
descend in this volume to give day or
date. note or reference, for his charges.
They are all substantiated by private
documents which he has filed away.
He has been challenged again and
again to prove certain specific counts
taken from his book, but he has never
appeared in answer. He is really a
monomaniac and not responsible. His
story about the New York priest in
structing his people how to vote is no
doubt one of his Authorizations. We
might remark. however, that if the
practice of telling congregation how
to vote is treason, then the Methodists
are damned and doubly damned. King
himself is kind Of politician, and
the trouble with him is that he never
got enough people to vote the way he
wanted them to-"

AN UNRESTRICTED DELEGATION.

In one of the most interesting and
enthusiastic conventions ever held in
the state of Minnesota the Democrats
have sent to st. Louis a delegation I'M
instructed. For that result every we'll
wisler of democracy will rejoice and
be thankful. We escaped the stigma
which would have attached to our
state had we sent a delegation bound
tied and hand-cuffed to the first man
who ever attempted to buy a nomin-
alton for the presidency. The Demo-
Gratis of the state are to be congratulate
ed. Under most trying conditions they
have put their best men forward as
delegates at large. They have frowned
down the attempt to gag the state by
stultifyng instructions for a candidate
who has not carried a single Democrat
ic or doubtful state. 1t is Il matter of
regret that Hennepin county Demo-
Gratis as Il whole had no part in this
triumph. but the victory was largely
due to the ability, the steadfastness,
the loyalty and self-sacritice of John
Lind. TO his courage in speaking out
III convention the Democrats of the
state owe their deliverance from the
finger of suspicion which would other

great danger has been avoided. We
arn fn q dot fnu
dent and we cannot expect to help to
elect one, but we have placed ourselves
| on record as willing to cooperate with
the Democrats of states which can
elect Il president. We have no words of
| reproach for the misguided Democrats
from this county whose efforts We're
expended as we believe against the in
terests of Democracy. The same loyal
| tN to party success is expected from
them now which others give when it
appeared that the battle for sane and
conservative action had been lost.
| Democrats may safely trust the inter-
ests of the party in this state to the
men whs have been elected delegates
| Mt Duluth. They have been trusted be-
fore and never found wanting. We
will now have some voice in the sell
! ection of a candidate ut ST. Louis In
| stead Of standing in the way of con-
] certed action on the part of states to
| which we must look for Democratic
success we can now cooperate with
them. The very men who fought and
! struggled for instructions will learn
before the st. Louis convention has
performed it's work, the wisdom of the
action Of the Duluth convention. 1t is
perhaps we'll that the enthusiasts OF
this county had an opportunity tc
work off surplus energy. They cannot
complain of unfair treatment. From
reports ut hand now it plainly appears
that all effort at gag rule came from
the Hearst men who had their chair
man. The effort on the part of the
chairman to shut Off roll calls was the
only discreditable action in the con
vention and it is probable that his &C
ton turned away from the defeated
forces many of the country delegates

1t was easy for the Republican ma.
tional committee and the national con.
vention to turn down Governor La.
Toilette of Wisconsin. The result was
to be expected. United States senators
are pretty much the whole thing in
Republican councils these days. Sen.
atorial courtesy would not allow the
turning down of Senators Spooner and
Ruarles. 1t will be different however
next November. Governor LaFollette
has strong hold upon the voters OF
his state and it is safe to say that his
faction will have a good many more
votes than the faction which Spoonel
leads. The result of the convention
makes it almost certain that Wisconsin
will elect a Democratic governor and
cast its electoral vote for the Demo
cratic candidate for president.

be studied with two objects. If you
want to conceal the truth, you can get
statistics to prove your case; if you
want to represent falsehood to be the

the purpose. But no amount Of statis-
tics will persuade those who have been
observing gentlemen like himself and
the Rev. Kerr Boyce Upper that they
can be relied on to observe the COM

Stronger and stronger grows the rep
resentation of the old New England
stock in the Catholic church, says the
Boston Pilot. One of the latest asses.
sions to the ranks Of the American
priesthood is the Rev. Warren A.
Watt, who was ordained by the
Most Rev. Archbishop Ireland, on
June IL, at st. Paul Seminary, st.
Paul, MINI. Father Watt is Of the
family Of Peter Fanuei, the famous
Boston merchant who founded Fanueil
Hall and market in 174O. Fanueil
himself was born in New Rochelle, n.
u, but spent forty-two of his brief
forty-three years in Boston. His
young Catholic kinsman is the son of
eX-Alderman Watt of Minneapolis,
and is the only member of his family
to embrace the faith. Father Waltz
has made his ecclesiastical studies at
the Grand Seminary, Montreal, and
St Paul's in Minnesota He will cele-
brate his first mass in the Church of
the Ascension, in his home city, and
Immediately thereafter will enter on
missionary work in Oregon under the
direction of Archbishop Christie. This
young convert-priest made brief visit
to Boston a year ago, and impressed
those who met him as having in a
peculiar degree those qualities of sin
certify, self-denial and love for his fell
low men which mark the best type of
New Englander, and are indispensable
attributes of the true priest.

A CUT AND DRIED AFFAIR.

Never before in the history of the
Republican party has there been such
ominous harmony as prevails in the
Chicago convention. Every thing was
cut and dried. So far as results are
concerned the delegates might just as
we'll have remained at home and al
lowed the officers of the national COM
mittee to perform the perfunctory roll-
tine duties of the convention A ma
tional convention is supposed to be a
deliberate body. The very thought of
delegates and a convention suggests
deliberation, but there was no deliber-
alton in this case. OF course the tame
ness of the convention can be largely
accounted for by the fact that there
was no contest over candidates. But
there was no contest at Philadelphia
in 1900, yet that convention was wildly
enthusiastic compared with the affair
just ended. Roosevelt may be and pro-
badly is popular with the rank and
file of his party. He is anything but
popular with the leaders. He has over
played his part Every detail of the
convention was arranged before hand
by him. His friend Senator Lodge had
the party platform prepared and in his
| valise ready to spring at the appointed
moment. The temporary and perman-
ent chairman We're selected by the
(! President and their remarks censored
! by him in advance. Even the nominat-
ing speech had to be submitted to the
president for his approval. Other pres-
! dents doubtless have exercised Il con-
trolling influence upon the deliberations
of national conventions but never be-
! fore has Il president seeking Il nomin-
alton gone to the extreme of supervis-
Welt should be commended for his OPP
Ell frankness. He has concealed moth
ing. He greatly desired denomination
and he greatly desires reelection. HI,
doubtless realizes that Republican
leaders are not enthusiastically for
him, he therefore proposes to be the
whole thing himself. The lack of en-
thusiasm on the part of the delegates
was perhaps not so surprising. They
had nothing to do but obey COM
mands. They went to the conven-
ton the personal chattels of the presi-
dent There was no contest to stir
their emotions. There was no war in
progress to stir their feelings for the
American soldier in the field, there
was no gold standard to save. no work
of destiny to perform. They We're there
only to formally register themselves
for man who already had in his
possession What they only We're sup
posed to give. These facts however do
not fully account for the lack of ap-
plause on the part of the spectators of
whom of course there were large num-
bers in the galleries. The leaders were
frightened by the oppressive silence
and an attempt was made to get IN
some show of interest. The assistant
sergeant at arms is reported to have in.
