SERIOUS FEATURE OF NEGRO QUESTION.

curious and serious aspect of the negro ques
ton came out In some of the speeches at the an
nual convention last week in New York of the Ma
tlonal Negro Business league, viz. that in some
places some negroes decline to work for employers
OF their own race. One of the speakers Judge Ter
r1L, referring to the matter, observed that:
The most serious feature of all is the unwiI-
hngness of colOred men and women to serve mem
bers of their own race. l am sorry to say this in
the presence of white men, for it is the deepest
and most serious indication of lack of self
respect
And, giving example, the judge (says the
report) cited an instance of a colored washerwo-
man at Washington who worked contentedIv for
customer until she (the customer) appeared in
person at the home of the laundress and proved TO
be coored also. Then the surprised customer was
told:
No, ma'am; no more o'youh wash fo' me. Abs
goin' into sahciety mahsef f.
Perhaps there may be little exaggeration here
either by the reporter the Judge but another Of
the speakers, I. Thomas Fortune. the well known
(colored) editor of the New York Age. declared
that;
Everybody who knows anything at all knows
that black folks don't want to work for black folk
IN domestic service and, furnishing personal tes-
tlmony, he said: Il can't get negro at Nillbank.
n j., where live, to cut the lawn for me though
would pay him $50 for it."
What Is the explanation of this strange feature
IN negro character! Certainly Judge Terriu Is
rlght IN insisting that it indicates lack of self
respect. Low can the colored man fairly look for
respect from other races if he himself viii not re-

AN IRISH UNIVERSITY.
Nondon Catholic Times.)


As one of the results of the Oireachtas of 1905
the Gaelic leaguers have decided to give effect to
the proposal for the formation of an Irish academy
number of examiners who have been appointed
to carry out a new scheme of examination for stu
dents of Irish are to constitute the nucleus of an
Irish academy. In taking this step the Irish are
following the example of the Hmgarians. The new
project is, believe due to the initiative of Pro
fessor Kuno Meyer of Liverpool university. In
studying the language revival in Hungary during
visit to that country he discovered at every hand
evidences of the great part played in the movement
by the National academy founded in the early part
of the last century at Buda Pesth Prior to its es-
Establishment the Hungarian language appeared to
be IN hopeless state; it had been so long decaying
through the use or French German and Latin
From the academy a fresh breath of life was. as
1t were, breathed throughout the country. PLAYS
were written in the Hungarian language theatrical
were formed to produce them; and
national literature sprang up. Professor Kuno Mey-
ers advice to the Irish has been Do likewise" and
they are acting on his words. They have moreover.
decided to establish Gaelic university, if possible.
without delay The question is. of course. largely
one of money Surely the Irish-American million
aires will seize this opportunity of immortaizng
their names by associating them with scheme. the
realization of which cannot fail to be of historic

must beware Of becoming caste with marrow little
of all other human concerns. Vigorous social actlv
ity and an earnest mingling with their focks IN
every legitimate exercise of zeal and good WILL
should be the programme of priests and bishops
from now In the third place the French Catho-
lies warned against forming political party
as some of them have proposed doing. Prosperity
for the church will come from saving souls with
slnge-minded disinterestedness, not from fiddling
with politics That will lead to destruction. And
finally says author, liberty must be protected.
Fairness in the election of bishops, due recourse
for those who suffer from the exaggerations of au-
thority, openness, honor and candor in ecclesias-
teal affairs must be guaranteed in order to insure
the well-being OF the church and to win to its sup
port the public respect and benevolence of which it
is deprived.
All honor to brave and lova men like VI. Hem
mer who thus give utterance TO the silent thoughts
OF many thousands! To such men great credit will
be due when final comes after many reverses.
For final success must come. We cannot doubt it,
even though unable to forget the mournful
history of French Catholicity for the past three
quarters of century. Now that the ultimate dis
aster threatens, that the vast resources
OF faith and piety within the church and France
will provide a refuge from it and will furnish
foundation for better days to come.

AFTER VACATION SERMONS.

The sectarian pulpiteers of Salt Lake are preach
ing what they term 'after vacation sermons. On
a recent Sunday the Unitarian discoursed
on "The Lesson of the Sea-" which sounded
in print very much like the composition Of
the sweet graduate of the high school. Such dispo-
sltlon to ignore the gospel and turn the Sabbah OBJ
servance into literary carnival is not relisbed bv
a brother Protestant minister (Congregationalist)
at San Francisco "Never was there a time" he
says, when the people were more in need of in
struction in the fundamental ethical and spiritual
truths Here is the great opportunity of the pulpit
to mould the religious thinking of the age PEOPLE
are hungry for knowledge, and have sought the pull
pit for instruction" The people who are thirsting
for Christian doctrine will find the Protestant pul
pit fountain gone dry.
Not long ago this paper presented the observa
lions of a writer in the Chicago Tribune concern
ing the subjects of Protestant pulpit discourse GOV
ering period of six months The writer classified
the subjects, and it was discovered that consider
ably more than half were other than gospel topics
Every current event of Importance was presented
from the preachers point of view, and the CON
cluslons were either his. or the consensus of
newspaper opinion. In explanation of the substi
tuition of such sermons for the teachings of the
gospel, most of the ministers interviewed said onl,
'up-to-date" sermons could fill the pews nowadays.
Churchgoers wanted something new and the preach
ers gave them something new every Sunday.
Perhaps this desire for something new controls
the nclinations of our literary Unitarian clergy

broad-gauged listeners, no outsider has anv RIGHT
to complain. Criticism is disarmed when these les
sons are devoid of bigotry and also give the listener

NOW 1T is CHOLERA.

There is cholera i'll Manila and III Prussia but
there is slight danger of the disease reaching the
United States The German imperial health Office
says that i'll spite OF the heavy emigration by way
OF Hamburg and Bremen, Americans need not be
alarmed. The German officials promise to take
every precautio4, and no doubt they Will They are
intelligent and conscientious. The American of
fcials also will exert themselves 1t is enough to
have yellow fever eases at New Orleans, says the
Chicago Tribune
The cholera undoubtedly reached Prussia from
Russia, although the Russian health department
says the empire is free from the disease. Early in
the year the Russian physicians were greatly dis
turbed by the likelihood of cholera empidemic in
provinces where there had been crop failures and
the peasants We're on the verge of starvation. The
fears may have been excessive, for little has been
SAID about the disease up to this time. The Rus
sian government Is not so prompt however, about
giving publicity to matters of that kind or about
adopting sanitary precautions as the German gov
eminent is. Apparently the cholera crept along
from Caucases to Prussia without attracting the
attention of the Russian authorities.
The outbreak at Manila indicates that the dis
ease, which ragged in Luzon few years ago. was
not thoroughly stamped out. The sanitary officials
IN the island better prepared to deal with the
epdSmic than they were when they first had to deal
with it, They may be able to prevent its spread in

OUTLOOK IN FRANCE.

In It's book review the Catholic World discusses
the points of Able Runners latest brochure and
ventures to say that the Catholics of France will
receive no advice better worth following in their
present and approaching trials. NJ. Hemmer looks
the breaking of the Concordat straight in the face
as an inevitable event, and turns his attention 10
the consequent difficulties which the church in
France must meet and in what spirit it ought to
meet them. He is no lover of the Concordat 1t
has deprived the French clergy of liberty. 1t has
made them mere functonaries. 1t has paralyzed
their free action and their personal initiative. II
mas oDscured their sacred character priests with
the rags of state socialism But on the other hand
says M. Hemmer let not be blind to the dark
days III store for French Cathoicity when the final
separation comes Granted that priests and bishops
VIII then be free many of them will also be brought
to utmost penury. Already it is common for the
thrifty peasant to grumble at paying marriage or
burial fees once twice in lifetime How shall
he be trained to contribute constantly when his
pastors support is left completely to his gene
roslty! Hard times Will fall upon many diocese
and probably more than one cure, shut up in some
mountain hamlet or scattered village will have
added to the grevous burden of friendless loneli-
ness which is now his portion the sharper pains of
hunger But, says our author if the French clergy
meet the situation wisely, the time of suffering will
be foreshortened, and out of misery will come
greater good If, however, they meet it unwisely.
the road ahead will end in ruin.
How shall the church of France face her crisis
with prudence! The Able Hemmer gives this am
Swer In the first place lay cooperation must be
earnestly cultivated and Loyalty and squarely ac-
cepted. We Americans are so happily situated in
tins respect that wonder at the need of sucb =
recommendation. But we must remember that in
france priest and people unfortunately are not so
near together as see them here In fact a large
number of French ecclesiastcs are terrified at the
thought of live laity They would actually pre-
Ter them dead. This type of the cleric shudders to-
DAY at the ghost of laicisme, as a few years ago
every individual hair upon his head stood UP before
The spectre OF Americansme. And of course if this
feeble, futile, feminine folly keeps up and spreads
about, 1t will be sad for Catholcity in France. But
1t cannot keep up nor spread about The inherent
SANITY OF human nature must prevent it. In the sec
ond place, says this brilliant little book the clergy
