 The progress of the Hartford dio- cese," says the Catholic Transcript, under the episcopate of Bishop Tier ney has been remarkable. For twenty-eight years the bishop has la- bored as priest and as bishop in the diocese. Ten years ago when he assumed the duties of bishop state which ds practically cotermin- ous with the diocese.

The number Of parishes has been increased in the ten years of Bishop Terney's apiscopate from 88 to 147. The women dn religious life i'll the diocese now number $40; in 1894 there were only SIS. Parochial schools have been increased from 4S to 57 and the pupils from 10000 to 27,OO0. These figures show that in population there has been in the ten years an increase Of 87h per cent. 90 Der cent in parishes. clergy 3s per cent, and in religious women over 50 per cent
 '@Ten years ago there was parish for every 2042 souls; now there Is a parish for every ! S71 souls. Then there was a priest for every 990 NnHE sa G.. 972. Tn 1894 there was a sistar for every forty school children; now there is a sister for avery thirtT- three.

NELSON P. LEWIS.
Gave Lecture Before Mems Club at
 St. .Johnss Parish House.

.. St. John's Parish House.
 Nelson F. Lewis. chief engineer of the board of estimate and apportion-
 ment in New York city, delivered a lecture In the hall of St Johns parish house under the auspices of the Mems club last night. Mir Lewis, who Is brother of the Rev John N. Lewis of this city. was introduced to the smell but appreciative audience by City Engineer Robert A. Cairns.
 The subject of the lecture, which was illustrated with lantern slides, was Physical Development of Great CT New York" For nearly two hours the lecturer spoke Interestingly and eloQuently on this subject. His remarks were deep, showed earnest thought. deep consideration and a thorough conception of the subject matter. After referring to many large undertakings during the past few years the speaker concluded his remarks as foMowUt
 An attempt has been made to pre- sent to you by the aid of the camera ana the aantern some evidences of the metropolitan development of New York, ana to show that she Is prop erly entitled to the designation of a metropolis Whether CT not case has been made will be left for you to determine. But small amount of evidence has been submitted. Much more might have been offered had time permitted. The history of days and durina the few years which h 1No~CAA nA Ia f4fSsa many of the infant bandages and out grown garments of provfnciaalsm have been cast aside. The city has no more severe and even savage crit ics than dts own journals. Little credit for honest and earnest purpose is given by them to those In respon- sible charge of the oity government. One would think on reading the av- craze metropolitan newspaper that the spirit which prevai iis in New York is wholly sordid, that every one who is working for the advancement of his city Is doing SC incidentally only and that his first consideration is hds own personal aggrnndizement. or to use the language Of a famous citizen of two continents who Is often held up as a type 3 New York citizenship, that he is working for hfs own pocls- ct all the time.' faaa8 tEckeFy and knavery are the rule and unseffish- ness and honorable motive are the rarW exception. Our critics appear to have forgotten the unselfish work of such former mayors as MT Grace and MT Hewitt. They do not take into account the spirit which prompts one to voluntarily give up the honor and dignity and the congenfal envir- onnhent of the presidency of great university to assume the harassnnE duties and heavy responsibilities of the mayog's office. Possibly refora under Mir Low went ton fast and he was denied a second term. We have, however, in the mayors office man of marked ability. who has an en- thusfastic interest in the nretropoli- tan development of the city. He is an accomplished gentleman, the son of a distinguished father. and in the few weeks which have elapsed since he assumed his great office he has shown evidence of unusual capaGty to do things and of determdnat ation to give the people a clean, efficient and progressive administration"

A Decaying Candidate.

Another impeachment on the up
hill road which is confronting the
national democratic ticket this year
aside from the party's desertion
of the Trust issue, upon which it SO
plumed itself but four years ago
is the case of it's nominee for the
vice-presidency, Henry Gassoway
Davis, of w. Virginia. 1t was gen
orally known that Mr.. Davis was
pretty well along in years, but it
now appears that only half of the
truth has been told. The reporters
for the big city dailies who attend
ed the gathering at the candidates
home when he was formally noti-
fed of his nomination, did not give
the public in their printed accounts
of that meeting all the facts which
came to their knowledge. Mr.. Da-
vis's speech of acceptance read very
we'll as published; but the report
ers stated, upon their return home,
that the speech had been written
for him; that he blundered through
its reading like a child, eVincing in
this and in many other ways the
fact that he much further advanced
IN senile decay than had been i'm
agined. His voice was too feeble
to be clearly heard ten yards away.
He would suddenly leave sentences
unfinished, and humble in such a
manner as to leave no doubt that
his mind was wandering. The no
LITIGATION committee was visibly dis
turbed by these revelations and the
visit was not prolonged. The re-
suit has been to place the demo-
cratic national committee in GUAM
dairy Mr.. Davis is hardly the man,
IN case of his election, to preside
over the U. S. senate, and if he is
kept on the ticket the widespread
knowledge of his infrmity is likely
to defeat the ticket. If he be with
drawn, to whom can they turn for
another $500, 900 check?

Forest Fires.

The present season promises to
show another heavy draft upon the
lumber resources of Washington and
Idaho through destructive fires in
their magnificent forests. While
the situation is not yet so critical as
two years ago, when losses ran up
into billions of feet, continued lack
of rainfall in the forest area is caus-
ing considerable damage along the
Sound, and some sections east of
the Cascades and in northern Idaho
have lost heavily. In the face of
stringent legislation and repeated
warnings through the press, gross
carelessness is practiced in the clear
ing of land by residents of the tim
Der belt and by hunters and camp
ers i'll building fires which some
how "get away" from them, eating
up millions of dollars worth of fine
property standing trees, small set
Elements in the forest, and not in
frequently human lives.
The necessity for a strict enforce
ment of the laws protecting one of
the greatest interests of our state
and to prevent such laws from be-
coming dead letters, has been i'm
pressed upon the officials again and
again and examples will probably
be made of such offenders as can be
caught. But, until the state legis-
latures wake up to the importance
OF this matter and provide a suffi-
Gent number of wardens to cover
the territory involved and make ar
rests and proofs possible, no great
amount of protection can be guar
anteed our forests. Until such
force is provided we shall continue
to suffer annually these enormous
and irretrieveable losses.

employer of labor and, incidentally,
to the detriment of the labor union
itself; to degree, to the detriment
of unionism and the injury of peo-
pie in general. But, with a body
composed of men whose general av-
erage of intelligence is on a par
with that of their leaders, such work
is impossible and is never attempt
ed. No move is made by the /. T.
U. which has not first received the
careful and enlightened considera-
ton of every member. There is
little laundering and no rashness.
1t is not intelligent unionism that
capital has to fear, and capital is
realizing this. There are unions in
which the walking delegate is by no
means supreme. There are unions
which understand that more can be
gained by cooperation with the en-
ployer than by coercion, whether
the latter seems successful or not.
Such a union is the typographical
union. If some of the organizations
lower in the scale of intelligence
can be brought up to its mental,
moral and patriotic standard, the
time will come when the country
will have nothing to fear from un-
ionism - when unionism and the
forces of law and order will never
come into conflict.

Intelligent Unionism.

1t is now a recognized fact that
the international Typographical
Union" as a body, has more inhu-
ence for the good of its members
and gains its points with less fric-
ton with employers than any other
body of organized labor. This is
due to the high average of intelli-
gence which the nature of the occu-
patton demands in the printer. I'M
ions OF ignorant men, directed and
controlled by walking delegates, "
are dangerous elements in society.
The demagogue in control has his
own ak to grind, and he usually
does the work at the expense of the

That Georgia Burning.

Speaking of that inexcusable hor-
ror Ill Georgia-the burning of two
negroes who were already under
sentence of death for murder-Col-
lier's Weekly says:
The darkest fears are justified
by so gross, cruel, and unwarrant
ed a case of lynching as this. 1t
almost makes us believe that Prof.
James may have been right when
he foresaw burning at the stake on
Boston Common. We know moth
ing IN the contemporary history of
the world more discouraging. Cru
city in Russia leaves us at least the
refuge of belief that it may cease
with the ignorance of the people
and the false system of government.
The Georgia disgrace is without
one redeemlng ray of light. Even
the photographer was present here
to give the last touch of grotesque
horror to the tragic satire, 1t was
undiluted hatred and love of Grim
lnal excitement. To compare il
with the Spanish Inquisition would
be unjust, for the Inquis.tion had a
motive at least. The trial of these
negroes had been prompt and their
day of execution was near. The
brother of the man they shot begged
the tigerish human beings to allow
the law to take its course. The
crowd merely refused to miss the
fun. The time may come when
some hopeful side may be seen once
more. For the present it makes us
look upon the future with discour-
agement and doubt"
