SENATORIAL CONTESTS.

We do not suppose there is very much doubt
to who viii be elected to the senatorshp in Utah

the election it generally believed that Senator
Sutherland would succeed himself if his party were
successful at the polls. The situation in Indiana
Is also clear In Indiana when the Democratic

selected by the convention as Democracys
candidate for the Senate should that party triumph
at the polls There will likely be no delay, no dead
lock, no doubt to the action in either state And
the business of the state will likely be attended to
without the delay caused by deadlocks which have
disgraced other states in times past
The situation in Ohio, New York and New Jer

situation when the legislature meets in Columbus
Politics in Ohio is very fine business, and poll
ticans always play their last card as if it were the
biggest trump in the deck 1t was suggested when
the state conventions were in session that selec-
tions be made for the senatorship but the sugges-
ton was not followed. In New York, the situation
Is little better, and New Jersey is in sadly mixed
state regarding the senatorshp. The results in
these states will be watched and if another Illinois
affair should develop in any of Them if dead
lock should tend to delay the transaction of the
states business in any state, the demand for
stitutional amendment giving the people the power
to select their senators by direct will receive
new impetus. The situation will be watched with
interest and every development noted.

sequently. one is entitled to as much wages and
consideration as the other-no more and no less
This is rather new and as yet untried prin-

practicabity because our correspondent asserts it
with such assurance as to leave no doubt in our
mind. Now we know that the first attempts of the

applied to save labor is wasted that ambition to do
things well is instructed because, forsooth UNI

HAPPIEsT MAN IN THE WORLD.

At the recent conference of governors at Louis
vile, Ky, one of the attendants was man who
nounced that he is the happiest man in the world
This man is no other than General Simon Bolivar
Buckner. And who is this General Buckner, and
why does he lay claim to the distinction of being
the happiest man in the world? General Buckner
is native Kentuckian, born in Hart county in
1882. He is a graduate of West Point, and is a
veteran of the war with Mexico In the civil
he served with the confederacy, and became a
major general. He was elected governor of his
native state in 1887, and in 1896 was candidate for
the vice presidency of the United States on the
Gold Democratic ticket So it is evident that he
has had an eventful careeer has tasted life in many
phases, has won and lost in war and politics, and
now at the age of eghty-seven has settled down in
the cabin where he was born, cabin built
than century ago by his father cabin about
which cluster all the dearest memories hta ..vc,
where he enjoys all the comforts needed to make
him happy and contented The general raises his
own tobacco, and spring of pure, cold water
gushes from rocks just outside his door, along the
stream formed by which is a bed of the finest mint
il all the world. No wonder the general is happy.
No wonder the palace of the king or the multi
millionaire has no attractions for linn. he has
found contentment after career filled with strife
and struggle. And contentment has made him de-
clare that he is the happiest in the world. May
he ever continue so.

Of course, we now know that this arrangement IS
all wrong, but we are quite able to understand
why even the crudest implements were ever adopted

the worker becomes mare valuable.
We cannot but express our gratitude to the
philosophers of ancient and modern times that this
new principle not thought of before. What
wonderful incentive the world would have had to
advance; what incentive for men to work for
years to invent a new thing for the benefit of the
whole human race if their reward were to be the
same as the reward of those whose minds have
never evolved a single elevating thought, and
whose hands have never made tool to do some
thing better than it could be done by the naked
hands
Skilled labor and thought well applied have
given the world It's every invention 1t has clothed
our bodies, built our homes our cities, has given
us books the telephone, the telegraph, the electric
light the photograph, our stoves and cooking
utensils, our railroads, steamboat lines our roads
and railroads. Skilled labor has reduced the forces
of nature to the uses of man; it finds way to OPP
crate mine with two or three per cent copper ore
at profit and furnishes employment at good
wages to unsklfed labor; it is the vital moving
force of our civilized progress, and the greater skill
required the greater has been its reward. We be-
lieve these things to be true notwithstanding the
assertion of our correspondent that unsklled labor
is entitled to as much wages the skilled. 1t Is
an undoubted fact that unskilled labor does not
enjoy as many of the luxuries of life as it should.
but the holding forth of promise that under any
system of government under any economic sys-
tenn whatever unskilIed work will draw equal re-
wards with skilled labor is fallacous it would
be to hold that man with his naked hands can dig
as many post holes as another with a post-hole
digger and hence should be given equal remunera-
ton for days work.

THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.

The historic Catholic Church-unchangeable
and overwhelmingly defined through her
Supreme Pontf on the Sth of December, 1854 the
doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Vir-
gin Mother of God in these words:
''By the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ of
the Blessed Apostles. Peter and Paul and by our
own authority. we declare, pronounce and define
that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed
Virgin Mary, in the first instant Of her conception,
by special grace and privilege of Almighty God,
in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior
Of mankind. was preserved free from all stains of
original sin, has been revealed by God, and there
fore is to be believed firmly and steadfastly by all
the faithful
This is the authoritative defining of the doc
trine declaring the Blessed Virgin to have been
conceived and born free of the mark or stain of
original sin. What is original sin? The sin we
inherit from our first parents Adam and Eve, in
which each one of our race is conceived and born,
and which remains until removed by the Sacrament
Of Baptism. What was the sin of Adam and Eve ;
1t Of triple nature, that is, of dsobedence. of
unbelief. of rebellion Adam and Eve were created
by God in sanctifying gracein purity, justice and
hoiness-and when they rebelled against God for
al sin rebellion they lost their purity, justice
and holiness and came under the dominion of sim
They could not impart to their offspring that
which they had not themselves that IS purity jus
tice and holiness. Their children and their chill
drens children inherited their nature, and that
nature was sinful nature
Now by the viii of God the Blessed Virgin,
destined before the creation of Adam to be the
Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ true God and true
Man, was conceived in Ewes original state that is
in purity, justice and holiness That Is we take it.
what is meant by the Immaculate Conception of
the Blessed Virgin. All sin leaves stain upon the
soul as the minutest drop of ink discoIors white
cloth, but the sin of Adam embracing all sin,
changed the original nature of the soul, and it is
this changed nature we all inherit.
Apart from the impregnabe authority of Holy
Scripture andthe traditional support of the teach
ing of the Church it is clear to the enlightened in
tellect that our Blessed Redeemer could never
have taken His own Divine flesh and blood from
body that at any time was defled by sin, or came
under, even for an instant. the dominion of Satan.
The decree of the First Council of Baltimore
(1s46), electing Mary in her Immaculate Concep,
ton principal Patron Of the United States wa,
confirmed by Rome on February Z, 1847 Long be
fore this, however, the Immaculate Conception was
declared on the Sth of November 1850 principal
Patron of all the possessions of the Crown OF
Spain. including those of America. The feast in
our republic is a holiday of obligation.

CAN DIR. COOK COME BACK?

According to a newspaper story of the week.
DR.. Frederick A. Cook has prepared magazine
article in his own defense After silence cover
ing many months the question naturally presents
itself, Can DIR, Cook come back? When he returned
from the north-we had almost said the north pole

American people from some hundred thousand dol

failed to convince an impartial board of exam
liners. Coupled with this failure, there other
incidents which served to discredit the doctors

get box of proofs" board Peary's ship, that
he could accuse Peary of losing them, and the fur

Then there the message, For Gods sake. don't

And his account of "Bradleyland'' seemingly

locate. Not the least among his many fakes
story of the ascent of Mount Mckinley, about
which there does not seem to be scntila of truth
In his magazine article, he does not attempt to
prove his case but merely to prove that he acted in
good faith-that he believed he reached the north
pole He says;
did [ get to the north polel Perhaps [ made
a mistake in thinking that I did. Perhaps I did
not make mistake. After mature thought [ con
fess that / do not know absolutely whether |

The article, we fear, will not serve to create
more friendly feeling for the doctor than already
exists Indeed, it may serve only to take from him
the admiration of many citizens of America for
the clever manner in which he seized his opportuni-
ty to reimburse himself. He did get a lot of real
money in the short time his stock was high.
But the people will not regard his quasi-con-
fession with any great degree of admiration. He
ought have stuck to his original story he should
have been game" People will likely consider this
new story as lacking in genuineness and sincerity.
If he had maintained his original story-that he
had reached the poe-it would have been necessary
for the future to judge him the real discoverer
or a rank impostor and faker. whereas now he will
be considered merely gutter.
