The corpicial correspondent at Rome

the talk current in England about petit

Motu Proprio on church music: "a

observance of the provisions. of the
Motu Proprio. These provisions are
to be observed when it is possible to
observe them, because they are en-
Joined by the holy father. Public
criticism of them by the laity, and
public disparagement of the Gregorian
chant as compared with other music
and especially as compared with music
that has been condemned by the Pope,
is both impertinent and disrespectful.
When exceptions are to be made, they
must be made by the ordinary and OF,
the ground that it is not possible under
the circumstances to carry out the dis
positions of the code of sacred music
drawn up by Plus X. 1t will not,
therefore, be permissible to have thea

Catholics are attracted by it and even
tually led into the church."

ANARCHY IN COLORADO.

Colorado presents an example of law
! lcssness which is becoming" so frequent
in this country that il is the cause of
alarm. AS is usual in such cases, both
sides are to blame. The real cause of
all the trouble is Il disregard for law.
There is no doubt but that the miners
had valid grievance because of the
failure of the legislature of the state
to carry out the expressed wishes Of
the voters of the state to submit to Il
vote the proposed amendment to the
state constitution in reference to an
eight hour day for those working in
the mines. The great majority of the
legislators were elected on Il pledge to
support that amendment. These men
diSregarded their pledges and at the
dictation of the mine operators refused
to submit the question to the people,
1t is just such acts as this on the part
of the representatives chosen by the
people which creates anarchy and
makes out of men. who might other
wise be good citizens, rioters and muir
dererS. At the present time there
seems to be more lawlessness INDUCED
in by the opponents of the union men
than by the unions. The association
of mine owners and the citizens COM
nittce of the districts i'll which the
trouble lies have by force and threats
OF murder compelled the peace officers
of the different towns and even Judi
cial and administrative officers to re-
sign their offices and have without any
attempt ut legal formula or procedure
filled these positions With men known
to be opposed to the unions. They
have gone even further and ordered
the union men to leave their homes
and not return under the penalty of
death. In Colorado the bulk of law
lessness seems to be on the side of the
mine owners. They have taken fore
iblc possession of property owned by
the union men and used as a place of
asscmblage, they have destroyed the
presses and plant of Il newspaper
friendly to the union men. All this
has been done Notwithstanding the
fact that the governor of the state and
the militia and the courts were at their
service. The Mine Owners association
has held meetings into which the duly
elected officers of the law have been
called and forced to resign their Of
fees under the threat Of death. These
threats We're enforced by the display
of coils of rope with knotted noOses.
Union men who had lived in the dis
tricts for years have been searched,
their valuables taken away and penni-
less they have been loaded onto cars
and deported from the district. These
acts exceed in their disregard for law
and the rights of others the most law
less acts of the union men. 1t will not
do for us to charge the Colorado situa-
ton to union labor The whole situa-
ton is properly blamable on the men
who, recreant to their solemn pledges
and Oaths of office, sold themselves to
the corporations which are now carry
ing on a war of determination against
the miners. Those who so loudly call
for law and order from the miners
should also exact the same action on
the part of the mine owners.

IRISH LANGUAGE FUND.
Good Example of the A, o. H. Stimu-

The news that the national body of

convention in 1902 must fill every

ing so hard for the preservation of our
language at home great encoura cement
to find such a large and representative
body of their countrymen on this side
of the Atlantic ready and willing to
extend helping hand to them.
While several divisions in widely
separated states have subscribed to the
present fund, we would like to see a
larger number of them represented on
the list. Five or ten dollars from EACH
division would not be missed, and if
each took an individual interest in the
fund an amount worthy of this "Great-
err Ireland" would soon be realized.
The Irish county organizations in
this city do not seem to have yet real
lied the importance of making this
Irish language fund success. In view
of all that has been said and done, this
is an extraordinary state Of affairs.
The list of subscriptions this week
is similar in one respect to all that have
gone before, namely, that the work
along this line is done chiefly by the
ladies'. The Irish women have, on very
many important occasions, shown 4
keener sense of practical patriotism
than the men. If the latter were to
talk less and do more Ireland would
he in different position from what
she is today.
Further subscriptions will be gladly
acknowledged by the treasurer Of the
fund, Hon. John D. Crimmins, 3G Wall

Are Catholics Wrona2

Are Catholics wrong in supporting
parish schools at great eXpense?" asks
the editor of the New England Journal
and then he proceeds to answer his
own question in this wise: Not if Il
man be worth more than a dog" The
whole passage is SO striking that we
feel obliged to quote it in full, saws the
Ave Maria.
but there is one church which
makes religion an essential education
and that is the Catholic church, in
which the mothers teach their faith to
the infants at the breast in theil. lullaby
songs, and whose Brotherhoods and
priests, Sisterhoods and nuns imprint
their religion on souls as indelibly as
the diamond marks the hardened glass.
They ingram their faith in human
hearts when most plastic to the touch.
Are they wrong. are they stupid, are
they ignorant that they found parochia
schools, converts, colleges. in which re-
ligion is taught? Not if man be
worth more than Il dog, or the human
soul, with eternity for duration, is of
more value than the span of animal eX-
istence for a day. II they are right.
then we are wrong: if our Puritan ia
Tiers were wise. then we are foolish.
Looking upon it as a mere speculative
question, with their policy they will
increase; with ours. we will decrease,
AIacaulay predicted the endurance of
the Catholic church till the civilized
Australian should sketch the ruins of
London from a broken arch of London
bridge. We are no prophet, but it
does seem to us that Catholics, retain
ing their religious teaching and we our
heather schools. will gaze upon Ca
thedral crosses all over New England
when the meeting houses will be
turned into barns. Let them go on
teaching their religion to their children.
and we go on educating our children
in schools without recognition Of
God and without the reading of the
Bible, and they will plant corn and
train grapevines on the unknown
graves of the Plymouth pilgrims and of
he Puritans of Massachusetts Bay, and
none will dispute their right of posses
sion. We say this without expressing
our own hopes or our own fears, but
as inevitable from the fact that what
soever man soweth, that shall he also
reap"

porting a first-rate parish school is
one that often weighs heavily on both
pastor and people: but it is necessary

PARKER STRENGTH GROWING.

Last week came the mysterious re-
port that German. Murphy and Smith
had been in conference relative to the
Democratic situation. The report had
it that Senator Bailey, of Texas, had
been called in and that he said Texas
was not for Parker. The wise Wash
ington correspondents then announced
that it was all over with Judge Parker.
But Senator Bailey lost no time in en-
tering a fiat denial of the report and
now Texas has spoken through her
primaries and it develops that three
fourths of the delegates to the state
convention are openly for Parker. 1t
might as well be understood now as
later on that neither German nor Muir
ply will nominate the candidate at st.
Louis. German is a sllrewd leader, he
controls Maryland absolutely, and it
was supposed that he had considerable
of Il following in the South. But one
after another of the Southern states
has been wheeling into line for the
New York Judge This movement in
the party is not due to the schemes of
Hill and Taggart on the one side, nor
is it greatly hampered by German and
Murphy OH the other 1t is the logical
result of present conditions. Every
where thinking Democrats are saying
that it must be "some man like Judge
Parker" German and Murphy cannot
meet this demand of the Democracy
without supplying candidate who is
better than the type which Democrats
demand. Secret conferences will not
nominate at st. Louis. There will be
no stampede by speeches delivered
from the platform of the convention
nor by pressure from the galleries.
The Democracy of the South waited
for the state Of New York to take the
lead. That state having spoken, the
South plays good politics and is fol-
