The negroes of the South will not
work, Notwithstanding good wages.
In the North there are thousands of
men working in the fields, factories,
mills and shops of the crowded East
for eight and nine dollars a week.
many of them with families, who
would be better off in the South.
Thus speaks the Memphis Catholic
journal. and it sounds all right on
paper. But il is our humble opinion
that the working people of the
North would better remain where
they are assured steady employment
and better remuneration for their
labor. VIII Editor Shea promise them

The people of Louisville have for
several years past been living under
inadequate police protection. Now
that some changes are about to be
made there are two that should go
into effect Immediately. Enlarge the
force by the addition of at least fifty
patrolmen and increase their pay to
at least $3.50 per day. Louisville
covers too much territory for the
present force, and unless life and
property are properly cared for why
have one at all? And this same APP
plies to the fire department as well.

The tax rate for the fiscal year
1906-07 has been agreed upon and will
be $3.50, the same as last year. The
increased valuation of property will
bring into the city treasury an excess
revenue over last year amounting 70
nearly 100000, which will enable the
administration to build a tuberculo-
sis hospital, the City Hall annex and
carry on other needed works of pub
lie necessity.

WORTHY DEPUTY.

Grand President Martin has ap-
pointed John Crotty as Deputy for
Satolli Council. Y. M. I. The selec-
ton is wise one. and If given proper
support the Deputy should succeed in
largely increasing the membership OF
Satolli, which has numbered in its
ranks many of the most prominent
Catholic young men in Louisville.

The Catholic people Of America
who are heartily in favor of separa-
ton of Church and State look on the
nresent antics of the French Govern
ment with amazement. That the
Atheists and Socialists of that coun-
try should have been able to carry
on their outrageous persecution III
Ene name of liberty and while pre-
Yendihg to desire only a separation
'of state and Church-that they
should have been able to do this by
reason of the indifference OF
tie great mass of Catholics
of Francis surprising indeed
but hardly more surprising
than the quiet approval or open ap-
plause of some American newspapers
that are supported by Catholics as
well as non-Catholics. The main rea-
son why the Atheists and Socialists
of France have so far won is that
they, through the press and by books
and OH the stump, have lonb been al
lowed to misstate facts and to urge
false arguments without being
promptly met in debate and at the
polls by earnest and able Catholic
defenders. Thus public opinion
has slowly but surely turned against
the church. In the present fight,
public opinion in America, an influ-
ence not to be ignored, will either
palliate or approve the French poll
ticiens, Atheists and Socialists unless
the Catholic press and the Catholic
laymen here make plain the merits
of the controversy and also their
own unqualified contempt of all who
give the present French Government
their encouragement in this effort
to suppress religious liberty while
slyly and hypocritically pretending
to establish it on a better basis. To
a well-informed and unbiased man
it is plain that the separation OF
Church and State in France does not
require the outrageous proceedings
now going on.
In the first place, the French Gov
erment in the bloody days of the
Revolution unjustly confiscated all
the property of the church. A large
part of it, if not most of it, had been
dedicated to religion and charity by
private persons from their own
means. subsequently Napoleon al
lowed a part, small part, of this
property-mainly the bare churches
Ito be used for the offices of
religion, and then once more the
State paid salaries to the clergy. 1t
Is excusable now to stop the salaries
paid by the State to the clergy
though rncivic while the conflict is
going on with Socialism and anarchy
but it is outrageous to confiscate
those churches and all their equip
ment and their treasures which were
honestly accumulated and of COM
paratively small value. The amount
of the church property has been will
fully and grossly overestimated to
excite the envy and cupidity of the
anarchists and the proletariat.
Furthermore. the closing of -Catho-
lie schools and the expulsion of nuns
and monks and clergy can be called
nothing else, in this age, but high
handed tyranny, however artfully the

about go persons. The affair was a
social and financial success and the
lodge cleared about s51. The boxes
were auctioned off and brought as
high as four dollars and the contents
often justified good price.

carried out, after which the guests
gathered around the tables in the din

and a social time was enjoyed. The

The Sign Of the Four.

The character of Sherlock Holmes
in 1.-THE Sign of the -Four" Of Mr..
Theodore Lorch, is recognized by all
who have seen it, as a virtual recrea-
ton OF the part made famous by Will
liam Gillette, with Mr.. Torch sup
ported by most capable company Of
players, under the personal direction
Of Mr.. Tom Lotus. Mr.. Torch has
installed into the mysterious being
known as Sherlock Holmes, q subtelty
of mind and directness Of acton,
that compares most favorably with
the work of MIR. Gillette, who drew
the largest houses ever known in
London and New York theatres, pre-
senting the same character. The play
itself is dramatization Of the detec
tive stories in which Sir Co lan Doyle
has made Sherlock Holmes the hero.
The story goes from one thrilling
situation into another, leading up to
a climax of mystery, horror and final
success for the great detective. that
no other play on the boards has been
able to produce. By special permits
sion, and at a considerable expense,
Messrs, Pelton and Smotser. who pre-
sent the play in Occur d'Alene at
the Auditorium theatre, have secured
scenery and effects that are an exact
representation of the original pro-
duction and every detail is carried
out in a most admirable manner. The
dTamatized play is even more intense
ly interesting than the famous stories
themselves, as much of the detail Of
the story is suppressed in the acting
while the thrilling situations and
climaxes are fully delineated. 1t is
great play, presented BY great
company, and is meeting with crowd
ed houses wherever presented.

RESERVATION is OPEN

Hawthorne, New, Oct. 30. Wal.
ker Lake Indian reservation was
opened at noon Monday aud half an
hour after the signal admitting
thousands Of plospectors had been
sounded countless mining claims had
been located as townsites and estab-
lished and mushroom cities are now
springing up at the mouths Of the
Dutchman and Cottonwood creeks, In
the vicinity OF which the richest min
ing territory Is supposed to lie.
Although there were many who pre-
fezTed TO locate claims according to
the lar surrounding the opening Of
the reservation and waited at the
boundary lines, numerous men had
rushed into the coveted land the
night previous. As q result the race
from the boundary was farce.
Holders Of claims Immediately pat
rolled them with Winchesters, but as
nobody cared TO dispute their locat-
ions there was no bloodshed. II is
feared, however, that when surveys
are commenced, which may cause
trouble. Many participated In the
struggle for mining land and In some
instances succeeded In securing rich
properties. As a rule the people who
waited until the regular time before
rushing into the territory did not Sc
cure anything for their efforts, and
many honest prospeetors who had
spent all their savings 20 participate
in the opening turned back defeated.
Special Land Agent Frank Parks
has received no reply from Washing
ton IN answer to his recommendations
hat the present opening be annulied
on account Of irregularity. He as
serts that today's proceedings are an
inju tiee against those who sought TO
obey the laws regarding the opening
and whose efforts were baiiied by
those who rushed through ahead Of
time because the boundary lines were
not properly guarded.
Indignation prevails tonight at
Hawthorne, Yerington and Schurz,
where disappointed prospectors have
returned after finding that they bad
no chance against those who rushed
In ahead of time.

eral land Office was waiting for an an

MRS. ESGATE
FATALLY SHOT
Falling Gun Is Discharged, With
Sad Results

Yesterday afternoon about 4:3O
O'Clock, Mrs. F. w. Esgate, who
lived with her husband and family on
small ranch known as Sunnyside,
about three miles southeast of the
city and east of Sanders beach was ac-
cidentally shot and died of the wounds
about 7:30 O'Clock.
For some time Mrs. Esgate has been
bothered by coyote that has man
aged to steal a number of her chick
ems. Yesterday afternoon she no.
ticed coyote in the field and taking
the shotgun from the rack started
across the field to where her husband
was working. Midway between the
house and the point where he was at
work there is located a roothouse or
cellar. On reaching this she laid
the gun on a box at the top of the
steps and went into the cellar and
was placing some fruit on the shelves.
While STOPPING over to pick up a jar
the gun fell from the box and dis
charged by striking the steps. The
contents passed through her neck
on the right side boring the jaw
and skull, and cutting numerous ar
teries and veins while the shot To-
Gated in her neck and breast.
On hearing the shot Mr.. Esgate
started on a run for the cellar and
reached the top of the steps leading
to it in time to see his wife fall to the
floor mortality wounded. The sight
drove him out of his mind and be-
coming frantic with fright and grief,
he caught their two year old baby in
his arms and ran to the home of a
neighbor about half mile distant
where he told of the accident The
neighbor convinced him that he must
leave the child and return to his
home and get a doctor. They re.
turned to the Esgate home and the
neighbor came to town and summoned
a physician who Immediately visi-
ted the scene of the tragedy, where
