THE POPE AND PROF. ELIOT.

A special from Rome to the Chicago Tribune
says:
"The address delivered by Professor Charles
Eliot before the Harvard summer school has been
translated by the Popes ORDER that he might thor
oughy comprehend it.
The translation read with great care by
His Holiness, who expresses profound regret that
man of such authority and culture as Dr. Eliot
should spread theories that he said are not in fact
the basis of a religion of the future but ne
cation of the faith and principles which are the
foundation of Christianity and modern civilization
"The Pope is reported to have said it would be
easy to refute and destroy Dr. Eliots argument and
highly praised Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia,
Bishop McFaul of Trenton and other American &C.
clesiasts who FASTENED to defend their church and
faith.
ct is believed that sem-otficial reply to DR..
Eliots address on the lines suggested by the Pope
himself will appear in the Civitta Catholica, the
most representative Catholic magazine"

end of the Atlantic cable must take us for when thew

The Civitta Cathoca suspended three months

THE SPIRIT OF REFORM.

There doubt a great many public mat
tiers that need to be reformed Doubtless too there
are great many personal matters to which the in
dividual may well give thought with reformation as
the object But when there arises a confusion as
to what constitutes public and personal affairs the
genial legislator humanity on the road to de-
struction through its follies and foibles and at
tempts to regulate humanity's every act He sets
himself up as an exemplar, and humanity laughs and
pays no heed
In these latter days there has been vast amount
OF legislation intended to lift humanity up States
through their legislatures have decreed that the peo-
pie shall not drink Intoxicating liquors They have
forbidden the smoking of cigarettes within their
borders. They have decreed that women shall not
wear divided skirts while enjoying horseback ride
Railroads have been forbidden to operate their lines
on Sunday within certain states
All these things may seem very proper to the
erudlte members of legislatures who pass them into
laws, but tempestuous spirits who like to finish their
meals with drink of wine, followed by cigarette
hold their rights abridged. And women who prefer
to ride horseback certainly have the privilege of
dressing IN costume suited to the exercise-even
divided skirts if they desire And man in the
west who wishes to GO to the east certainly does not
want to be held up In one state for twenty-four
hours when he might reach his destination day
earlier II his train were not stopped In compact
certain work is necessary on Sunday
Notwithstanding the purtanical notions of the leg
slators.
The limit however, seems to have been reached

famed that all residents shall be at home between

arrested and thrown into the city calaboose and be

BISHOP SCANLAN'S ACKNOWL EDGMENT

Il must confess that the difficulties which con-
front the honest man in doing business today, in
an honest way, are much greater and more serious
than at any time in my memory" said Bishop Scan
Ian, last Wednesday, in the course of conversation
With some gentlemen the Lagoon train This
was IN answer to some one of the party who re-
marked that it was almost impossible to do GOOD
square business, in good, thorough square STYLE
and to succeed"
We gathered, as the unrestraned and informal
talk proceeded that honest and honorable comnet;-
ton has given way largely to series of petty shifts
to gain mean advantage, and that the business
man has frequently to encounter bold and unscrun-
ulous lying among his rivals
1t he be young in business he must do much for
pollcy and very little for principle and that it is
a matter of difficulty to be his plain honest self
LII ne sets out to sell pure and unadulterated
goods, ne finds his trade taken away from him bv
an INSCRIPTIONS rival who offers an inferior article
at lower price, but insists that it is equal in every
particular Does he do work faithfully and use ac
cording to contract the best materials he finds him
self underbid by skilful competitor. who c,nn;no-
y works In inferior material with careless and cbo,
labor, and, worst of all for the honest man tho
buyer and the architect will give the cbean dealor
ana the tricky contractor, when the quality f
the goods and workmanship are suspected reader
hearing.
Then what an immense advantage the souarelv
dishonest man of today possesses; the man who does
not mean to pay who buys on credit without cap;+al
and contents himself with mere fractional nroe+
or 70 profit at all making failure, and considered
rather honorable because he pays so cents on The
collar to his creditors creditors who permit hin,
70 go on with his stock of goods in direct comnet;-
lion with the honorable men on the other side Of
The street selling the self-same goods bought Of
mem at the self-same first price-goods for which
ne creditors of the dishonest seller expect honest
dealers to pay in full for.
Does the honest man originate a popular article
method IN business, any invention that nror,-
SEES a profit let him be prepared for imitators wbo
boldly claim his ideas as their own and for o+bor.

dred and fifty millions; and it will be difficult to
show that all other Christian sects united amount to
hundred and twenty millions. Nor do we see any
sign which indicates that the term of her long do
m1nlon is approaching. She saw the commencement
OF all the governments and all the ecclesiastical es
adjustments that exist in the world: and we
feel no assurance that she is not destined to see the
end of them all She was great and respected before
the Saxon had set foot on Britain before the Frank
had passed the Rhine, when the Grecian eloouence
still fourished at Antioch when idols were still wor
shipped in the temple of Mecca. And she may still
exist in undiminished vigor when some traveller
from New Zealand SHALL in the midst of vast sol
ltude take his stand a broken arch of London
bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul's"
Again he writes:
-Four times since the authority of the Church of
Rome was established on Western Christiandom has
the human intellect risen up against her yoke
Twice that Church remained completely victorious.
Twice she forth from the conflict bearing the
marks of cruel wounds, but with the principle of
life still strong within her. When we reflect on the
tremendous assaults she has survived we find it diff
hcult to conceive in what way she is to perish"

who will boldly label worthless article with the
title he has originated and thus bring his article
and its name into disrepute.
We know that in this keen race to get rich, in
the fierce struggle for the advantage in the fight
for success it will be said that every man who en-
ters the business field must expect the above to be
the rule and not the exception. The amount Of
praise given to smart rascas and the knowledge that
the worlds first question is not how man gor his
money, but has he got it, would seem to endorse
this expectation.
Yet in spite of all this, men have proved that
it paws to combat all these obstacles which are prin
cipally efforts for a short road to wealth, and stick
to sterling, sturdy, oldfashioned honesty in trade
which tells in the long run, Notwithstanding
it may take much patience and long run to make
i pay. There is a numerous class of the public
that will pay for honesty, and pay handsome:
hence, though confidence may be of slow growth the
labor of rightly acquiring it proves its value, so
that besides the conscientious satisfaction enjoyed
in the possession, it will be admitted even bust
ness proposition that in the end "honesty is the
best policy"

which cent will compel to deliver up chewing gum,
candy and other luxuries. The new pennies would
no doubt continue to do their duty by the Sunday
school, but they not the right size to fit the slot
machines and they will not work in the change ma
chimes at counting houses. In this day and age
when little is thought of the pennies that banks
do not split nickels, and newspaper has to charge
nickel for itself because the people will not be
bothered with the change it is hard to tell what to
do with the pennies if they won't operate the slot
machines. Under such conditions surely if the col
lectors of nummary tokens had not placed fcti-
tious value on the 223oo,OOO new copper coins the
entire issue would have been swallowed up by the
Sunday schools in couple of weeks.

LORD MACAULEY ON THE CHURCH,

of the Catholic Church in Utah, the day after the
dedication of the Cathedral quoted sentence from

1t IS hard to understand the methods of reason
ing OF those critics who say the Catholic church is
opposed to progress. The world is progressing these
days quite satisfactorily and the only church that
consistently holds its own against the encroach-

church There is something wrong with the reason
