be no question of continued repub

fewer "delicatessen'' ready-cooked in
situations where lazy people secure the

The San Francisco Monitor says that,
DIR. Eliot, son Of President Eliot of
Harvard, while expressing his admir-
alton for the good points of the Cath
Ole religion as he sees them adds,
that because I appreciate the best
that is in it, cannot calmly look on
when the Roman Catholic Church takes
possession of New England" It is un-
fortunate for the Doctors placidity of
mind, but what is he going to do about
1t? Union of Protestant denominations
which he advocates as counter irri-
tant will hardly meet the case and
terminate the phenomenon which has
its origin in facts vastly more vital

A VICTORY FOR JUSTICE.

Mr.. Hadley. Missouris quiet, young
Attorney General. has won great
victory for the public in his success
full fight in compelling managers of the
Standard Oil Company to come into
court and give their testimony. His
success will help to assure people that
In theory, at least. the law is no re-
spcctor OF persons and that it recog-
>nizes no class distinctions. Mr.. Rodgers
who contemptuously refused to answer
questions and openly laughed at Mr..
Hadley has been compelled to change
his attitude. Men in control Of the
Standard Oil Company have grown so
accustomed. to disregarding law ami
accomplishing their purpose that they
had no hesitancy in refusing to answer
such q petty officer as the attorney
general Of q great state. One OF them
had the nerve to suggest that IL the
court would adjourn to some quiet
place where Mr.. Rockefeller would not
be Inconvenience that that gentleman
might be perfectly willing to testify.
The very idea Of u court chasing about
the country to hold itself in readiness
to meet the convenience Of Mr.. Rookie
Teller or anybody else is insulting to
the majesty Of the law. Such men Us
the managers Of tho Standard Oil and
other kindred trusts do more to create
radical Socialists than all the street
agitators put together.
In this connection 1t Is not out OF
place to compare the quiet. patient
and persevering efforts Of the attorney
general OF Missouri with the pic
turcsque, noisy but inefiicicnt efforts
that the district attorney of New York
county has employed toward the in
surance grafters. There is no denying
that Mr.. Jerome has greatly fallen in
public esteem since last full. The past
week he was publicly reprimanded by
Judge O'Sullivan who told Mr.. Jerome
that he did not care to receive any
lectures from him and that the grand
Jury was responsible to the court and
not to the district attorney.

New York Sun, are grinning. Col.
Frederick w. Plaisted (Dem.) is elected
Mayor of Augusta, James G. Blaine's

since 1893. Bangor, which went Demo-

fifty years, continues in that faith, CIV

In each case the Democrats also con-

Gratis have carried six out Of eleven
Maine cities which voted, including
Lewiston, the home Of Nelson Dingley,
and Rockland, the home Of Gov. Cobb
and Representative Littlefield, which
goes Democratic for the first time in
its history. With Portland, which elect
ed a Democratic city government last
December, majority Of the important
centres in Maine are now under Demo-
cratic municipal control.

that some of the, early navigators from
that country were the first to land upon
the main land Of the Western Hemis-
phere. Each nationality largely repre-
sented in the United States would. no
doubt. discover some reason why some
hero should be honored with legal
holiday. The French might rightly ask
for legal holiday to commemorate
the work of Lafayette, and the Poles
that Of Pulaski. Perhaps Congressman
Sulzer comes from New York dis
trict in which there Is large number
Of Italians. We believe that he does,
and perhaps his bill is just a little play
to make them more solid then ever for
him.
There Is no crying need Of q holiday
in October. That is time Of year
when we have our football games, our
political campaigns. duck shooting is
usually good. and we think that people
ought to be allowed to sneak away any
old time that best suits their con.
venience without being compelled to
conform to the straight jacket of q
legal holiday. Let them erect q monu-
ment costing hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars commemorating the memory
Of Columbus but do not interfere with

Is MCFARLAND his real name or is it
Renlan? Following is clipped from the
Catholic Journal Of Memphis Tenn:
we see that the unearthing Of the
numbering Of Governor Steunenberg, Of
Idaho is the result Of the labors Of
James NJ. Renlan, the man who was
the cause Of breaking up the Molly
Masuires' Of Pennsylvania many years
ago. He Joined the order under an
assumed name. took an oath and af-
forwards had many men hung on his
oath and the oath Of other informants
and traitors. How much faith can be
placed In q man who deliberately, for
money, joins q society, betrays secrets
and then attempts to swear q mans
life away? The present case in Idaho
is nothing but another attempt Of cap
ital to control honest American labor
by threats Of courts through inform
ers, perjurers and hired williams"

"a woman to the holy father went,
Confession of Ler sin was her intent;
| And so her misdemeanors great and

She faithfully to him rchearsed them
all;
And, chiefest In her catalogue Of sin,
She owned that she tale-bearer had
been.
And bore q bit OF scandal up and down
To all the long. tongued gossips in the
town.
The holy father for her other sin
Granted the dissolution asked of him;
But while for the rest he pardon gave.
He told her this offense was very grave,
And that to do At penance she must go
Out by the wayside where the thistles
grow,
Scatter it's seeds; and that when this
was done
She must come back another day
To tell him his commands she did obey.

Feeling right glad she had escaped SO

Next day, but one, she went the priest

The priest sat still and heard her story

Then said, There's something still for
you to do;
Those little thistle seeds which you
have sown, -

The woman said, But, father, 'twould>

ENoveH.LEcAL HOLIDAYS.

CONGRESSMAN oulZer OF new York
has introduced bill to make October
18th. the anniversary Of the discovery
Of America by. Columbus legal holi-
day. Some years ago Congress voted
to consider October 21st us the day
for the same reason that the celebration
|of Washingtof's birthday was changed
from February nth to the 22nd. The
difference between the Julian and
Gregorian calendar in the century in
which Washington was born amounted
to eleven days. In the eighteenth cen.
fury, however, most christian countries
had changed the calendar The Gre
gorian calendar was not effective in
any country before 1882. October 18th,
1892, the day OH which Columbus
landed. was the same day everywhere
In the christian world. It does not
make so much difference what day is
set apart for the purpose of commemor.
ating great events. The important
thing Is the remembering of them and
keeping before the minds Of the people
their significance. 1t is rather n strange
circumstances that the great Republic
Of the western continent has in no way
fonored the man whose genius added
SO much Of the land surface Of the
world to civilization. We have named
cities and counties after the great dis
coverer but have nowhere erected q
monument to his memory. It Is in
deed time that something should be
done in that line. We are hardly in
favor of creating a legal holiday. and
that not because Columbus is less de-
serving than others in whose name
legal holidays have been created but
for the reason that We already have
In most states too large o number Of
days Of enforced idleness; days upon
which all people are in some degree
forced to take vacation whether it
suits their convenience or not. We do
not believe that the American people
! on the whole rest enough but we are
opposed to legislation which prescribes
when vacations shall be taken, and it
Is particularly harmful to business in
general to have a large number of
legal holidays. The vacation Of one
person should not be allowed to inter-
fere with the business or work of all
other people. There Is also another
great objection to the creation Of a
legal holiday. We know that there
are people who claim that Columbus
did not discover America. The scandi-
navians claim that Lief Erickson did

burdens Of another great coal strike.
The coal miners have managed to keep
the sympathy Of the great mass Of peo-
pie chiefly because up to the present
time they have shown themselves
temperate and have been satisfied to
follow the advice and counsel Of wise
and moderate leaders. Symptoms now
begin to appear which indicate that
the coal miners union may refuse
longer to follow John Mitchell. There
are indications pointing to discomfort
on the part Of the miners with the
moderate leadership Of Mr.. Mitchell.
The chief difiiculty with organised Ia
Dor always hos been It's inclination to
follow radical leaders, and radical
leaders have led more than one labor
union to destruction. The best friends

prudence. overthrow the very leaders
who have made their union such q
power. and put in their places i'm.

Just such action as this that would
most please the coal operators. They
realize that John Mitchell has gained
the confidence Of the American people
to a remarkable degree and that public
sympathy has much to do with the
final determination Of the issue between
capital and labor. 1t is to be hoped that
