The announcement is made from
Berlin that the bundesrath has assent
ed to the bill, passed by the reichstag.
repeating the anti-Jesuit paragraph of
the law of July 4, 1872. prohibiting Je-
suits from settling in Germany. The
decision of the bundesrath destroys
the last remnant of the late Prince
Bismarck's war With the clergy and
gives Catholics an equal position be.
fore the law with Protestants. Since
Emperor Williams gift to the Catho-
lies in Jerusalem in 1898 of that bit
of land in Palestine known as "L'Ado-
ration de In Sainte Vierge," it had
been certain that Catholic disabilities
would be removed. Strong political
considerations have been at work be-
cause the government had to rely
greatly on the Central party. They
passed the naval bills, and when the
reichstag and the government We're
deadlocked over the tariff bill, year
ago, the leaders of the Center party
reached an understanding with the
government to permit the Jesuits to re-
turn.

The world has heard much of the
enormous amount of property owned
by the Spanish friars in the Philip
pines, says the Catholic Standard and
Times. Enormous as it was, this GOV
eminent felt justified in Offering no
more as an equivalent for it than tha
paltry sum of $7,25O,0O0. One years
rental Of the established church in
England-of which very little is ever
from a statement contained in 81 laf>.
gram from London dated the 27.h ult.
heard at present-would very nearly
buy the whole thing, as may be seen
This says: "The income of the &C.
clesiastical commissioners from rents
in 1908 shows the Church of England's
rent roll to be 91,517,OOO. The chief
items are: Rent of lands, f2G2,OOO;
houses in London and the suburbs.
t153,O0O; 1.-THE and corn rent charges,
t21S.OOO; mining royalties, f3S9,OOO;
ground rents, G439,OOO." Now, if we
could only get a similar authoritative
statement of the wealth of Trinity
Church corporation of New York the
public might be able to form an opin-
ion on the sincerity Of the non-C atho-
lie cutlery Of the bloated wealth of the

In Springfield, Ohio, the lawabiding
citizens have lynched a negro for kill
ing a White man. Ohio is Repub-
lican state and one of those states
where the Republican party has been
kept in power through the solid vote of
its negro population. Not long ago
a Democratic governor of Mississippi,
who was elected on an anti-negro plat
form by quick action at his own per-
sonal expense rushed assistance to 4
remote locality in that state and saved
a negro from being lynched. There is
much difference between the doctrine
preached in Mississippi and that
preached in Ohio, but there is also
much difference in the practical treat
ment of the negro in the two states,
and Mississippi does not suffer by
contrast. The salvation of the negro
rests with himself. If he will follow
the advice of his real friends, such
men as Booker Washington, learn to
be Industrious, honest and frugal, be-
come the owner of his own home, have
money in the bank, and pay less at
tention to the cheap politicians and the
partisan press which control his vote
as absolutely as the former slave
holders controlled his body, there will

The Reverend Parkhurst, of New

that type of ministers who preach on
everything but the gospel. He has
managed to keep himself before the
public for a good many years under
the pretense that he was for reform
in municipal politics. 1t was he who
said after the election of the present
mayor of New York. that the cid of
hell was about to be lifted" By such
remarks as these made from the pull

A little more benevolent assimila-

ippines, says the st. Cloud Times.
"SiX hundred MorOs were wiped out
by American troops" The "niggers'
were offered an opportunity to surren-
der, but declined, preferring death to
American rule. This is but one more
evidence of the result Of our imperial
istic policy. But it is one of those
accomplished facts" which it is dis
loyal to oppose.
