BAYONETS ARE TRUMPs IN COLORADO.

There is right and wrong in the thoughts put
into the minds of mankind; right and wrong in
the methods of putting these thoughts into ply

the conclusion that when opposing forces come in
collision, one must be right and the other wrong
for as matter of fact both may be wrong An ex-
ample Of such character is furnished By Colorado
today
few of the members of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners have been arrested and imprisoned
for incendiary acts and speeches. Greater offenses
have been charged against them. such as destruc-
ton OF mining property and threats of assassina-
ton Trial in a civil court in one instance resulted
III their acqulttal. But, for the sake of argi1-
ment, we will assume that something must have
provoked all this excitement in Colorado, which
would otherwise be peaceful did the miners con-
tlnue to work and refuse to obey the orders of
their leaders to go strike. Therefore, let that go
into the count wrong
Let us examine the other opposing force-the
state government. Courts are established in every
county for the administration of Justice. Ample
tneans are furnished by the machinery of the law
to arrest and punish criminals The militia of the
state is at the disposal Of the governor whose beck
and non sends soldiers to aid the civil authorities

Therefore when military supremacy was established
and the courts Knocked and defed, grievous wrong
was committed. Wrong" is a word too mild to an

Governor Peabody is responsible for that iniquitv.

MORMON CHURCH ON TRIAL.

AT Washington the inquiry into polygamy is
obscured by the design of prosecutors to es-
tablish relationship between the Mormon church
and the politics of the state also to the trade and
commerce of the commonwealth. Judge Powers was
on the stand the other day, and his answers to
both allegations in the charge were affirmative
But, while his testimony was harmful to the Nor
mon hierarchy, he was insstent in supplementinc
1T with proofs of the honesty integrity, intelli-
gence and industry of the Mormon people No
better live in this country, he said and all except
blgots will echo that sentiment. The opinion OBJ
talns here among broad minded citizens, Ge.A.le
and Mormon, (and to some extent the same NAV
prevail esewhere), that if the Mormon church
were to lay down a rule that no apostle or other
official should run for a political Office. or
II he did run and were elected should be deposed
from religious position whose duties he no longer
had time to attend to, there would be no special
occasion for complaint. But the Mormon church.
according to the testimony presented, for its own
lnscrutabe reasons denies political preferment to
one man and bestows it on another
There is a world of contemplation in the an.
swer which Moses Thatcher gave to the question
put by Senator Dubois. Asked as to the result of
Mormon official running for political Office in
opposition to the wishes Of the church authorities,
ne replied: 1T might result as in my case but a
tree American citizen has the right to retire from
his church Office, and | believe every man who
loves his country would resign such Office under
hese circumstances

MARY, MOTHER OF GOD.

We are upon the threshold of May, the month
Holy Church sets apart fer devotion to Mary:
Mother Of God
While still preserving the old prayers and lis
tening to the old hymns of our childhood one can
feel the impress of new thoughts if he cultivates
an interior worship of God; and it is through this
natural development of piety that we get our best
conception of the transccndcnt virtues of the
mother OF Our Redeemer. We are not all alike.
There are pious souls whose thoughts arc brought
nearer to Heaven, where dwclls the Virgin, by fix
ing their eyes upon a statue of its Queen
There are others for whom the statue arouses but
a cold devotion, for though the lips may utter
prayer the mind is wandering among the creations
of natures God
As one grows Older this inclination wakes
stronger He sees God in everything Take walk
these May mornings up the Canyon road until you
come to the foothills of the Wasatch range What
more majestic than these lofty, snow-capped noun
tains: What more beautiful thing in nature than
rushing brook tumbng at last over rocky preci-
pee and forming cataract! And the song of
the rushing water is anthem of praise to God
It's creator. And the big red sun kisses the tops
OF those mountains, it seems as if heaven and
earth were coming together to glorify God. Here
Is where the soul is excited to contemplation of
the power of an Almighty Being who created all
these things. Then to think that this Power con-
scented TO assume human nature and be born of a
And so on our thoughts run to the extra
ordinary virtues and immacuateness of the woman
whom this great Almighty Power selected from the
beginning to become the mother of Goldman, Son
Of the Father who created all these things we see,
out of nothing.
An, there is where piety begins to take root,
only less potent to strengthen the soul than medi-
alton and prayer before the Real Presence upon
'ur Catholic affairs. Somehow we feel that it was
n the contemplation Of nature that ST. Aphonsus
eceived his best insbjirations
Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!

the Catholic Sentinel. 1t has anything but pros
porous appearance nevertheless it comes out every
week, and apparently has done for the past sew
enteen years, if we take the printed volume number
for proof. The editor is evidently an old printer
who has been puttcring about country newspapers
all his life, picking UP and developing his knowl
edge through that source alone. Once in while
we find in this obscure paper something worth re-
membering and preserving, and here is under
the head "The Fate of Reformers': Once, while
talking with an old man upon the political and So
cial evils of the day, remarked that it was
glorious thing to make upon the abuses of the
hour The old man took our hand, led us to cor
ner of the room, removed curtain, and said: Be

beautiful cross with the image of Christ hang
ing upon it. That was fifty years ago and, though
we did not cease TO help the cause of liberty, we
never ceased to see that cross and its victim before

FASTENING HIS OWN DOWNFALL.

Premier Conlbes will be hoisted by his own no
tard. Men of his temper and resentment are fit
only to be grand .vziers in despotism like Tur-
key. Friends of the government arc scandalized by
his acts, and even some of the radical socialists
were provoked to quarrel with him. A correspond
ent OF the New York Herald, whose letters betray
a bias for the government nevertheless says:
The week was opened april 16) by an i'm
portant political demonstration. Premier Combes.
with party of senators and deputies went to Laon
ana made big speech at banquet which his par
usans Ill the department of Aisne offered him. The
affair was lively because this department recently
elected deputies opposed to the governments also
because two of It's former deputies although ilomi-
mated as radical socialists, quarreed with the cab
met and deserted the ministerial "block" These
last named were Denecheau and Dourner The
speech OF Combes, therefore was veritabe philip

up to this unworthy task when. with little elo

Archbishop P. W. Riordan has officially an
nounced that picnics in the interest of Catholic
churches and Catholic organizations shall not be
held on Memorial day and occasions of similar i'm
port He also prohibits the use of intoxicating
liquors and dancing entertainments given for the
beneht OF religious work. The last is in accord
with provision of the third plenary council of
Baltimore. Years ago Bishop Seaman of this do
cese set the seal of condemnation upon fairs and
dances as means to raise funds for any religious
or charitable purpose and the trees in his spiritual
garden blossom and bring forth fruit as though
the angels of God planted and cared for them.
