FRENcH.NEUTRALlTY.

The pro-Japanese press of this coun-
try is making considerable noise over
the fact that it is reported that the
Russian fleet remained in the French
port, Kamranh Bay, more than twenty
four hours. Dire results are threat.
ened France as result; but after all
rumors and glaring headlines have run
their course it will be found that no
rule of international law has been
broken. 1t is rule of the United
States and England that when a bel
ligerent warship enters harbor in
either country it's limit of stay is
twenty-four hours and the amount of
coal that it may take on board is no
more than enough to carry 1t to the
nearest home port. But, this is not a
rule of international law binding upon
any other country than those which
have adopted it, France has never
adopted the rule, and is, therefore, in
no way bound by it. The rule as ap-
piled to French harbors is that France
must accord the same rights and priv,
ileges to both belligerents. 1t will be
remembered that last winter the Rus
sian fleet stopped in French waters at
Madagascar a great deal longer than
twenty-four hours. Should Japan see
fit to send it's ships into French
harbor they would be entitled to the
same rights and privileges that have
been accorded the Russians. French
neutrality means treating both bellig-
erents alike. International law is a
code by no means so we'll established
as domestic law, and rule applicable
to one country may not fit in another.
Norway and Sweden, for instance, at
the beginning of the present war
closed all their ports against the ships
of both belligerents. Of course this
rule worked more hardship on Rus
sia than upon Japan just as the
French rule gives greater advantage
to Russia than it does to Japan.
France has extended very great priv
ileges to the Russians in the present
war and complaints from the Japanese
have met with the reply that Japan
would receive exactly the same favors
in any French port.
All this talk about England interfer-
ing in order to enforce upon France
the observance of strict neutrality is
nonsense. France is keeping within
the strict letter of the law of neutral
ity as applied to French waters and if
that rule does not at present subserve
the best interests of England and her
ally, Japan, so much the worse for
them.

case is the finding of his autograph
signature in book in the English
College at Rome. The book was writ
ten by Cardinal Allen, and the date
of the writing is 1881. At that date it is
stated by an eminent Irish antiquarian
writer in the Dublin weekly Free
man." Dermot O'Hurley was professor
of Canon Law at Rheims, having
graduated at Louvain, where his name
appears on the college register as "a
native of the diocese of Emily, in Ire
land'-born at Licadoon, In the parish
of Knockea. In that very year (l5S1)
he paid visit to Rome, and was
appointed by Pope Gregory XIII, to
the See Of Cashel, being consecrated
at Rome. He arrived in his native
country in 1883. Archbishop O'Hurley
was not many months in Ireland be-
fore he was, in violation of the laws
of hospitality. betrayed by the Baron
of Slane, on October /, 1883. He was
brought in chains before the Lords
Justices, LOTUS and Wallop, and was
several times tortured. At length, in
May, 1884, the sanity prelate was
submitted to the excruciating method
of punishment known as "the Boots"

feet and legs in tin boots filled with
oil and salt, with a fire burning be.
meath. But the archbishop bore this
torture as did the early Christian
martyrs, and refused to acknowledge
the supremacy of Queen Elizabeth.
The hideous details of the roasting
are fully set out in the State papers.
Finally the archbishop was hanged on
st. Stephens Green, Dublin, on June
80, 1884, and his remains were in
tered in st. Kevin's church. Wallop
is the name of the noble family of
Portsmouth. 1t was one of these who
presided over the torture. Lotus was
another of the ennobled English
planters" in Queen Elizabeth's time.

THE FENIAN UPRISING.
Story of the Attempt to Invade
Canada.

The election of Judge Dunno as
mayor of Chicago has more than a
passing interest for many of the older
residents of Sioux City, where his
father, P. w. Dunno, then of Peoria,
ILL.,, visited frequently, writes L. Nc
Carthy in the Sioux City Journal.
In the early 70's Miss Annie Dunno,
a sister of P. w. Dunno and aunt of
the new mayor, opened millinery
and dressmaking establishment in
Sioux City, which she conducted for
several years, until her marriage with
Charles Collins, who founded the Sioux
City Times, the first daily paper here,
and numerous other papers through
out the west.
Mr.. Dunno had been a prominent
leader in the Fenian movement, and
after its failure he with other leaders

1t appears, therefore, that in the city
as whole the Protestant percentage
has fallen off. The Federation's ex-
planation of this decline, or of the
failure of Professionalism to keep pace
with the growth of the population, is,
generally, that ut cannat come at its
own people for the crowd that hides
them" The real cause, however, would
seem to be that the increase of the
population is chiefly of people who are
religiously antipathetic to Protestant
ism-Roman Catholics and Jews. This
is indicated by the facts that in the
districts of the town where the den
sity of population, almost wholly for
eign, is above 131 persons to the acre
less than 6 per cent of the people are
Protestants, while in the districts of
less density the percentage is 13.

FRENCH MISSIONARIES.

The April number of Outing con-
tains an admirable story which dis
cusses the part played by Father La
combe, French missionary among
the Indians of the far Northwest. Now
that the Indian has ceased to be an
important factor in this great North
west country there are many who do
not realize the important part which
was played by the French Catholic
missionary. A reading of the stories
OF Washington Irving based upon
frontier life, such as Captain Bonne-
willie" and Astoria" disclose the i'm
portant parts taken by these bearers
of civilization and Christianity. The
reading of the article in Outing takes
one back fifty or hundred years, for
then every river, valley and mountain
foot had its Father Lacombe. They
were, as the author truly says, "Doers
of big things" Men who have made
history. Not every hero is as unaware

The disreputable conduct of the
Protestant clergy during the just
closed municipal campaign in Chicago
exposes the disgusting littleness of
that body of alleged Christian gentle
men, and, sad to say, they were en-
dorsed by the so.called religious press
sof their several denominations, says
the Catholic Union and Times.
There was absolutely no reason for
the rank display Of their wallowing
spropensities, save the fact that Judge
;Dunne is Catholic.
They even offered to throw what
slittle influence the result proves they
had to the Socialist candidate, pro-
yided he would agree to certain de-
smands, but he refused.

the announcement contained in a re-

that a great newspaper after a career
of thirty years should find it necessary
to suspend publication on account OF

stop the progress of municipal owner
ship when such condition of affairs
exists. On every hand in our large
cities we meet men firmly convinced
that our public officers are owned
body and soul by the public service
corporations but who despairingly ad-
NIT that they know of no help. To
such men the idea of municipal owner
ship will appeal. Charles T. Yerkes,
who put more than sixty-two million
of water into the Chicago traction
system has done more to make the
people of Chicago demand municipal
ownership than all the Socialists in
the world. The magnates and the
magnate-owned press of the country
which is now crying out frantically
against the idea of municipal owner
ship but which accuse those who favor
it of being Socialists had better turn
their attention to the real cause of the
movement. The people have come to
the conclusion that if it Is necessary
for public service corporations to run
the politics of a city and to own the
city officials that then it Is much bet
ter that the people themselves should
own and operate the properties of
these corporations. The people will
demand that they be allowed to run
their own affairs and if they find ont
that it is impossible to do so when
there are public service corporations
in existence, then their efforts will be
turned toward destroying those public
service corporations. Municipal own
ership offers a method by which this
may be done. 1t is for that reason that
municipal ownership promises to be-
come very popular

RELIGION IN NEW YORK.

The organization called the Fedora
tion of Churches has gained reputa'
tion for remarkable thoroughness and
accuracy in the gathering of social and
religious statistics of New York, and,
where these cannot be secured pre-
cisely, for the intelligence and fair
ness with which it's estimates on the
subject are made, says the New York
Sun.
The last number of its Official publi-
cation, the Federation, estimates that
the population of New York last year
was 3,945,9O7, divided thus between

1t will be seen that the whole con-
stituency of the 951 Protestant church
es of the town, as thus estimated, was
S29, ,245, or an average of S72 persons
to a church, apparently rather high
estimate; yet it was less than the
Protestant "churchless" population by
25S,517, and not much greater than
the number of Jews il New York, now
estimated by the American Hebrew at
100000. The rapid increase of the
Jews by immigration, to say nothing of
their extraordinarily large natural in
crease, must soon put them ahead.

Beautiful Thoughts.


II you see anything that is worthy of
praise, speak Of It,. Even If you cannot
do a worthy deed yourself, commend one
who does.
Try to be something in this world and
you will be something. Aim at excel
lence and excellence will be attained.
This is the greatest secret Of success and
eminence. II cannot do it," never &C
complished anything. II will try has
wrought wonders.
We can only give what we have. Hap
piness. grief, gaiety, sadness, are by ma
ture contagious. Bring your health and
your strength to the weak and sickly,
and so you will be Of use to them. Give
them, not your weakness, but your energy
so you will revive and lift them up.
No man or woman Of the humblest sort
can really be strong, pure and good with
out the world being the better for it,
without somebody being helped and COM
forted by the very existence of this good
ness.
Never revenge an injury. If you have
an enemy, act kindly to him, and make
him your friend. By little and little
great things are accomplished, and re-
peated kindnesses will soften a heart Of
stone.
Just to be good, to keep life pure from
degrading elements, to make it constantly
helpful in little ways to those who are
touched by it, to keep ones spirit always
sweet, and to avoid all manner Of petty
anger. and irritability-that is an idea as
noble as 1t is difficult. 7i
