over us is never to be admitted.
This movement may be called the
ministry Of discomfort People are
led to strive for something better
only by being made thoroughly dis
contented with what they have. If
submissive to misfortune, they will
never end it. Reform will be at
tempted only when men are thor
oughly convinced of it's need; and
this conviction must come through
suffering. Many are, accordingly
made to learn how miserable they are
and to see that they do not deserve
1t. The agitators would have them
learn who are responsible for their
misfortune, and who stand in the way
OF its removal; and they would have
men rise against all such, whether
individuals, corporations, customs,
governments Or beliefs. They are
training men in misery, making them
discontinued with their condition, that
they may rise against it. They have
declared war against misfortune, and
against its cause, and have resolved
not to be happy till it is uprooted.
The leaders of this movement will
not rest till things are righted. They
have no inclination to stop at the
halfway remedy Of consolation. In
stead of learning fortitude in adj
verslty, they want to get rid of ad-
verslty, Never before was there such
a realization of the sinfulness Of suf-
ferIng and the abjectness of submit
ting to it, We wrong others in
soothing them into tolerating it. Not
an anodyne, but an irritant, is needed.
Pain is to be cured by pain, the
reality Of it by the full consciousness
of it.
And so, instead of bearing up I'M
der suferings, and calming the suffer-
ers, we are now to attack the cause.
When we see a wrong we are to 90
for it, as a dog does for a snake. En-
nifty and perpetual war are declared
against all that is not good, and all
that perpetuates it. The wrong of
patience is preached, the folly of en-
durance, the abjectness Of humility.
1t is a wrong to endure a wrong. Our
duty is to eXtirpate it, and. instead
OF submitting to a bad condition, to
get good condition. We are to be
happy, not by getting the mind in a
friendly attitude toward suffering,
but by having no occasion for such
attitude. The next reform WILL
therefore, be not of the mind to
make it submissive, but Of the social
and political conditions, to make them
right. Men s circumstances are to be
improved, not their tempers; and,
instead of patience, is preached i'm
patience, and an Impotence that will
remove the reason for impatience.

The Ministry of discomfort
AUSTIN BORROWER.
AUSTIN BORROWER.

Men are now trying more to stimu-
late misfortune than to mitigate it..
Few writer's are listened to with
such interest as those who exaggerate
the misfortunes Of the common peo-
pie. Those who would make them
endurable are mistrusted as enemies.
The philosophy that once consoled
men III misery is not respected to-
day. There is a demand that people
know their misfortunes, and feel them
keenly More are trying to make the
people discoutented than are trying
to comfort them.
The reason for this is that the
popular leaders want men to remove
the cause Of their suffering. They
preach reforms, and the masses will
not rise against their oppressors IN
til they feel the oppression. Hence
they would make them alive to their
sufferings And for the same reason
they would make them realize the
suHeringS Of others. The wrongs of
the whole people are presented to the
public by reformers who want men
to feel how others are misused, and
to enter into their sufferings. They
create indignation instead of content
and lay the foundation for revolt
Revolution is needed as an ultimate
result; and a movement is contem-
plated for which pain is taken as the
means. The people are made aware
Of how bad they feel, and are made
to pity themselves. In the past the
work Of philosophy, as Of religion,
was to make men despise pain, and
bear it without murmuring. They
valued it as discipline even. There
was an effort to render men hardy,
that they might go through adversely
without being overwhelmed by it. In
stead of protesting against it, or seek
ING cure, they were led to habituate
themselves to it, and to feel that hap
piness was less in being free from
evil than in being Indifferent to it.
The great man was he who could
stand most. Indians proved their
courage by taking blows without
llnching. Bravery in pain was as
pired to, rather than exemption from
pain. Assuming that men were doom
ed to misfortune, they inquired only
how they might endure it nobly. The
world was conceded to be bad, and
men were schooled to live in it with
out being distressed by the badness.
An effort was made simply to recon-
ellie men to their unfortunate condi-
ton.
But now this is reversed, and men
are asked to take up arms against
misfortune, and to rectify their con-
dition. They are melted to rise
against the present disordered state.
Instead Of compromising with their
misfortunes, or recognizing them as
permanent, they seek another kind
of life The people must get out of
evil, not learn to bear it, and they

LrBRARIANs' SESSION.
Use of Public Documents and Good
 and Bad Books in Libraries.

| Winsted, Oct 30.-The autumn meeting of the Connecticut Library association was held yesterday In the Gilbert school library here and opened at 10:15 a. m. with an ad- dress of welcome by Walter D. Hood principal of the school. After the usual business the subject of Pub lie Documents for the Small Library was opened by Harlan II. Ballard of Pittsheld, president of the Massachu- setts Library club, whose meeting had been postponed in order that he might be here.s
 W. N. Carlton of Trinity college spoke of the arrangement and use of documents in depository libraries. of which there are 615 in the United States. The library of congress has devised special system of classifica- ton, which should be followed by every library, and helps like the "Fundbook of the Department of Ag- riculture" will settle the problems of arrangement. MT Carlton gave a series of questions and the methods of finding the answers in government documents, which formed practical lesson in their use In reference work Mr Goddard of the state library, who was to have spoken on Connecticut Public Documents" was not present.
 The members of the association were guests of the trustees of the Gilbert school at luncheon in the Park hotel. The first paper of the afternoon session, by Miss Clara w Hunt, superintendent of children's work in the Brooklyn public library and its many branches, was on Reading for Girls in Their Teens"
 The closing paper of the afternoon was on An Old Reading Book" by Marcus White of New Britain, who thinks Killed by Kindness" a good motto to put over the door of a chill dren's room. MT Whites paper was suggested by "A Child's Garden of Verses" and Kennith Grahames "Argonauts," which have led him to question whether children with the great quantity of reading matter put into their hands ever become famil- far with it to wish to act it, as the children in ''The Golden Age" did. To be abiding, books should be read and re-read, and be things that we live with.
 Resolutions of sympathy were adopted by the association on the death of two of the well known mem bers, Miss Emma Clifford Hammond, librarian of the Danielson public H. brary, and Miss Ella E. Wizard of Yalesyille. A vote of thanks was ten dered to the trustees of the Gilbert school for their cordial welcome and generous entertainment and an ex- pression of gratitude and apprecia- tion for the speakers both from out side and within the state.

possrlLY A lIaHoP.
Dr shanley Nav Dc One ef Thzse
 Nominated.

Among the prominent prieste of the Hartford diocese who have been nominated as possible successor to Bishop Tierney is the Rev Walter !, Shanley, IL. D.. permanent rector of St .Peter's Catholic church in this city and one of the most widely known priests in the. country. says the Danbury News.
 It Is probably impossible, however, for anyone outside those priests who compose the electing body, who voted for three worthy" more worthy and 'most worthy" for that office to be. recommended to the holy father for appointment, to say who any of the three selected by that body are. Although there is no canon of the church which imposes secrecy in such a case, it is generally by custom con- sidered secret matter, and secrecy is enjoined as a matter of prudence. In the naming of the candidates for successor to Bishop Tierney 1t would seem that this secrecy had been we'll maintained, for several well known priests of the diocese have been men tioned as possibly among the three named
 There seems to be widespread opinion, not only in Connecticut but in other parts of the country. that Di Shanley is one of the three named, and one upon whom 1t is considered not unlikely that the choice might ul- |timately fall.
 When a reporter for the Evening News called Dr Shanley's attention to the rumor he acknowledged that he had heard the same from different sources, but. as was expected, did not say anything that would give any in- timation as to the fact.
 Dr Shanley is not only one of the most prominent priests in the diocese, but is widely known through the country and there are frequent de- mands upon his time for lectures and addresses beside which he has done great deal of literary work.
 That he is one of the busiest cler- gymen in the state there is no doubt. The management of the great St Pe- ter's parish in this city, with the large parochial school connected with it, combined with his work in the in- terest of temperance and the frequent demands made upon him to go to va- rious parts of the country, probably leave him little leisure time. Com bined with all this, which he has done most successfully during the few years that he has been in Dan- bury, he now has the additional bur den of the work of executor of the estate of the late Bishop Tierney, to which position he was appointed by the bishops will.
 There is probably no priest in the state who is better fitted and Quali- fled, if the honor and responsibility should fall to him, for filling the of flee of bishop of the diocese of Hart ford.
 If the appointment of bishop of Hartford is made in the shortest poS- sible time it will probably be several months before 1t can become known in Connecticut.
