LATEST WAR NEWS
JAPAN AND RUSSIA

A great land battle is hourly expected
and London is much excited, the popu-
lace is thoroughly aroused. Sympathy
is altogether with the Japs.
Russians disheartened and planning to
vacate Port Arthur. japanese are
drawing the lines closer and closer
around the port and its navy patrols the
sea in front.
The result is the gradual investure of
Port Arthur with the Japanese naval
and military lines. 1t will require a
bold action on the part of the Russian
forces to prevent the final accomplish
ment of the investiture and slow reduc-
tion of Port Arthur.
The Japanese fleet is intact. None of
its vessels has been injured.

CONVENTION AND FAIR.

st. Louis is hot i'm summer.
but thermic conditions this year
will be matched by the intensi-
ty of converging interests. Such
IA combination as great world $
fair and a political convention
is not frequently obtainable.
The convention is almost GER
tain to be one of peculiar eX-
element. There will be no such
certainty about the outcome as
there was four years ago. Not
only the candidate. but the
branch of the party in control .
will probably be undetermined
before the meeting. and there
is likely to be long. hard strug-
gle. with the chances beyond
prediction in advance as be-
tween a Bryan man. "a Cleve-
land man. and a compromise.
If two of the participants estab-
lish newspapers i'm st. Louis i'm
order to impress, the one his
candidacy, the other his con
troll, another diverting ingre-
dent will be added to the
cauldron. American life seems
to us peculiarly interesting at
present. and st. Louis will be
the focus for many of the most
interesting streams of it. Com
paratively few of us can attend
the convention. but every Amer
lean with "a vivid interest i'm his
country will wish to attend the
fair, and the convention will
undoubtedly increase the sue
cess of the exposition by the
concentration of attention to
which il will contribute. Per
sonally we look forward to next
summer in st. Louis much as,
when a boy, we looked forward

JUDGMENTS AFTER DEATH

According to- the doctrine of the Catholic
church, there two judgments that await us after
death-the particular Judgment melted out TO each
soul directly after It's departure from the body at
the time of DEATH and the general Judgment of all
mankind at the resurrection on earths great final
day. The church does not teach that every soul is
immediately assigned at death either to endless iov
or to eternal VICE. She teaches us that we 90 indi-
vldually to meet our Judge; and that many. very
many, meet him then, at the particular Judgment
who are indeed nnprepared for the saints crown
upon whom, nevertheless he has infinite compass
sion These he assigns to purgatory an interhedi-
ate state of spiritual purgation cleansing, where
they made ready and pure to enter into eternal
bliss.
These souls have already seen his face at that
most mforgettabe moment after DEATH Of their
own wish they would fly to purgatory in order to be
rid OF everything that statds between them and the
eternal possession of that heavenly vision What
cleanses them, or by what process make no sort of
difference TO these souls ennobled by that first brief
glance. They are consumed by the longing to pos
sess their God. They sin no longer; they practice
perfect conformity to Gods holy WILL they wait,
they suffer- they endure. Our prayers can relieve
them and hasten the hour of their release. But, no
matter how long or short the time may be, no mat
ter how severe the pain, one thing they never do,
they never question the DEGREES of God. Nothing
that he may do seems to them too hard to bear;
nothing seems strange to them, however contrary
to poor blind conceptions of his love or his
might while we still live on earth
Herein are the holy souls our constant patterns.
Much is said in our day of Gods love and mercy,
much is said, also wildly and angrily, against a
power than can allow tremendous catastrophes of
flood or fire, disease sudden death But, all the
while God is God If, instead of striving to bring
him down to our standards, and measure him by our
human limitations, we bowed before his justice as
we'll as before his mercy the suffering souls al
ways do, peace would be ours. He shall make all
things work together for good to them that love
him. If there were no trials for our faith, where
would be any merit for our oveESacred Heart
Review.

HOPE FOR POOR RoYs

The story of the life of Governor-eect johnson
of Minnesota published In the Herald of yester-
day. should be given to. every boy in the land to
read, for 1t shows that in this country of limitess
opportunity no handicap Is too great for ambitious
youth to overcome John A. Johnson's father died
a drunalrd's death in an almshouse. His mother
was compelled to take in washing to support her
self and her children. The boy while but a child.
was forced to go to work.
At II years of age he was contributing largely
TO the support of his mother and her other chill
dren. But he not too tired when his DAVIS
work done to study. He was never too tired to
read. for this boy had made up his mind that he
would not always be day laborer. 1t was not long
before he had educated himself until he was fitted
Tor a position IN newspaper office. Then he be-
gan to save money and today he has daily paper
OF his own.
Johnson was the only Democrat elected to a
state Office in Minnesota last Tuesday. He was
elected in spite of, or perhaps because of the fact
that his political opponents used against him his
humble origin. The people of Minnesota resented
an argument like that a large percentage of the
population was born abroad. Many of the people
came here to avoid oppression came because they
had been told that in America all men are equal be-
fore the law. SO they elected johnson. and they

MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES.

A few months ago reported the massacre OF
some ten Catholic missionaries in New Britain.
Intelligence which has come to hand from Sydney
indicates that punitive measures have been carried
out with terrible severity by the German authori-
ties seventy of the natives who shared i'll the guilt
of the affair being shot down and dozen more
captured and doomed to death. Much pleasantcr
than this news are other tidings which come from
Sydney. 1t appears from statement published
by the Sydney Freeman's Journal that when the
details of the massacre reached that city the Pro
testant community much moved by sorrow
as the Catholics. Their sympathy found express
sion in letter addressed to his Eminence Cardinal
Moran b. the president of the Evangelical Council
of New South Wales. I'VE were deeply grieved,'
he wrote at the news of the awful massacre of
your missionaries in New Britain and on behalf of
my council l desire to tender our heartfelt sym
pathy with your Church in the loss of so many
brave. self denying workers and with the bereaved
families who have lost their loved ones. They are
part of the noble army of martyrs, heroes and
heroines whose death we all deplore. We pray that
Gods comfort may ever be with the bereaved. and
that YOU reverend-sir. may feel that the hearts of
your Protestant fellow citizens are beating in tru-
est Christian sympathy with you in the grief that
has come upon your own heart" The Cardinal, in
his reply, showed that he was deeply touched by
this kindly act 1t was act dictated by feeling
