the People
MR.. STANTON DECLINES.

Editor Providence News:
I noticed by the papers this morning
that l was last night nominated as the
Democratic and Independent candidate
for third member OF the common council
from the Sixth ward by the Democratic
caucus. The use OF my name was wholly
without my knowledge and consent and
entirely unauthorized. Ny principles and
politics have always been Republican and
they are such today. I have this day fled
with the city clerk request that my
name be withdrawn from said Democratic
and Independent ticket. and I take this
method OF publicly notifying all persons
that I am not candidate upon said
Democratic and Independent ticket for
councilman from said Sixth ward

Wars are often brought on by designs
that are not based ON considerations OF
national welfare There are millions
OF money wasted even In a small war.
When a government In engaged In war

influential supporters whose patriotism
may never reach above their pockets.
War In Itself Is spectacular. II opens
a short cut to the center OF the world >

whom the nation had not discovered.
The sentiment, now so nearly universal !,
that the people must rally TO the SUP
port Of government which finds itself
involved IN war holds the sober jude-
ment OF the nation IN the background.
Opposition that would be tolerated In
time OF peace becomes treason when 10
gives aid and comfort to an enemy.
The tremendous cost OF war IL In itself
a reason why war should only be rc,
sorted to when all other methods OF
settlement have failed. The result OF
war is now determined rather by the

MURDERERS AS HEROES.

1t is really peculiar that murderers,
instead OF inspiring universal horror,
draw sympathy, and even admiration,
from 20 many. Something Ia wrong
somewhere. Moral ideals must be very
low; conceptions Of right and wrong
must be very crude. when anyone
stained with the blood OF fellowman In
elevated TO the pedestal Of a hero
II II often observed that some women
are drawn with irresistible power,
through their own diseased imagina-
ton, toward murderer, provided he
has not exhibited the qualities Of a
coward. There seems 10 be 10 them
fascination about such persons, such
as II Ia claimed the snake exercises over
the bird. This ls singular. but perhaps
not more 30 than the sympathy all men
have for women murderers, no matter
how savage their deed may have been.
This popularity may be explained on
psychological grounds, but there are
other facts that seem utterly unreason-
able and that can be explained only on
the supposton that our age has low
cred Its moral standards.
For instance: In Missouri the other
day. condemned murderer was per-
mitted to hold a reception. The func-
ton was held In the sherlff's office. II
Is said that "at least 500 citizens al.
tended Men, women and children

hands with him. Presumably there wers

other murderer not long ago.

moral standards is the only remedy.
But how Is that to be effected?

CONSCIENCE AND THE LAW.

The Portland Morning oregonian OF
Jan. rs has thoughtful editorial
with the above title In reference to the
senatorial question now under exam
inatt0n by committee of the Senate.
We copy the following paragraphs as
worthy OF consideration by thoughtful
people who take an interest In the

that he puts his religious convictions
before his duty 70 the government. IL
this be true, II IL a thing 10 be con.

IL Is obvious. The man himself ana
his Mormon co-reigionlsts Will deny
Il: and the case Is one In which II II

Charges OF this kind have become a
familiar story In our history We have
had anti Masonic and anti-Catholic
fury In France and Russia there Is an
anti Hebrew fury. They are all dis

poor" not to use language calculated
TO inspire aversion among the people

refrain from speaking Of redress and

the domain Of charity only"
These rules are made mandatory,
The closing instructions are that they
"be transmitted 10 all Catholic commit
tees. societies and unions Of every kind.
All these societies are TO keep them
exposed IN their rooms and to have them
read frequently NJ their meetings. We
ordaln, moreover, that Catholic papers
publish them I'm their entirety and
make declaration OF their observance
Of them. and, In fact. observe them re-
ligiously; falling to do this they are to
be grsyely admonished, and II they do
not then amend let them be interdicted

The question on which this papal let
Ter treats Is one OF utmost Importance.
Probably the time is past when social
inequality, coupled with equal indi-
vldual responsibility to God will
be admitted, we fear, and there
fore the mild submission of the "prole-
tariat TO what II regards as oppres-
sion Is no longer accepted as a virtue.
Then again, laborers are not satisfied
with accepting charity" It Is their
rights they claim, and more. II they
can obtain It. The times have changed,
