THE EUCHARIsTIC CONGRESS.

Cardinal Gibbons, who is now in
Montreal, says the chances for the
next place of meeting of the Eucharistic
Congress point favorably to the City
of Mexico.
He spoke yesterday with satisfaction
OF the progress which the Catholic
church is making in the United
States.
1--WE have now $4,000, 900 Catholics
in the states" he said, and our num-
bers are rapidly increasing all the time.
This is to be attributed to three causes
to the great immigration from Catho-
lie countries, to the accretion due to
the natural increase Of the population
and to conversions.
I'VE are continuously winning
people to our fold, while our only
leakage is that which occurs in the
more scattered districts Of our country,
while there is paucity OF priests and
of churches. "
With regard to the relations OF church
and state in the United States, the car
dinal said the Catholic church could ask
no better conditions.
eve are like you in Canada, he
remarked. Every man is going to
worship God according to the dictates
of his own heart, without interference
from anybody As far as the state
is concerned, all are on an equality,
and the Catholic church asks nothing
more. "
As for the annihilation of the sin
ners and the reorganization OF society
on different basis, the Biblical World
dismisses them without honorable
mention. The horrors Of the Reve-
lation and the fiery prophecies of the
Gospels are declared to be misinter-
preted when applied to a conyulslon
such as has been predicted.
The author OF the article, who
shields his identity under the author
ity of the Is editors of the Biblical
World. intimates that the writers oi
the New Testament we're not above
inserting scary passages in the Scrip
lures simply to boost their own mis-
guided opinions. Christ's sayings are
distorted and falsely attributed, 1t IL
alleged
Our hope is set not on a kingdom
Of God to be ushered in by personal
visible coming of the king in th'
clouds, an overthrowing OF all human
institutions, and the establishing o
new heavens and a new earth, bu
on the ever larger and fuller develop
ment OF the kingdom of God that 1
now on earth, " says the editoria
writer.
"We are preaching the gospel no
till, the witness having been born, tn
nations shall be destroyed and tn

service. In speech before the House,
delivered on Tuesday, March 8, 1910,
he said, among other things:
There is no more important branch
of the postal service than that of the
rural free delivery. 1t reaches the
homes of our country people; it
brings the life of the farmer closer
to the world at large. 1t removes in
"a large degree his isolation, thus con-
tributing to his social happiness, and
is the principal benefit derived by our
farming population through the distri-
button of public funds"
THE Republican party that inaugu-
rated the great system that connects
the homes of our country citizens with
the busy marts of industry, is commit
ted to an extension and an improve
ment of the system. No Legislative
acts would be more appreciated by our
country people than legislation of this
character. Public sentiment strongly
fdvOrs it.
He has made every possible effort
to extend the rural free delivery serv.
suit that on July I, 1910, there were
| I36 routes IN operation, the total COSt
of which for the current fiscal year
as estimated by the Postoffice Depart
ment, will be $I22, 2,237Oo. The resi-
dents of the Ninth District get botl
the benefit of this splendid mail ia
cility and of this large amount o.
money which is thus expended in the
district annually, adding materially tc
the money supply that makes the
prosperity of the people.
The Republican party inaugurated
and has consistently fostered, thi:
great benefit to the farmers and coun
try residents, and in ten years the
number of routes established total:
4o,628, requiring an expenditure fol

That old, old story, so new to pres

will he realistically interpreted the
week of October 10 at the Howard
Theater by StetsOn's spectacular
Uncle Toms Cabin company. For
this season the members of the Stet-
son company were selected especially
for his or her adaptability to the roles
essayed. The result has been rare
ly harmonious whole, it IS claimed,
which has done much to add to the
effectiveness of the production The
scenery, painted especially for this re-
vival, includes a number of handsome
scenes reproduced from pictures of
the localities mentioned in the book,
as they were at the time when the great
authoress first wrote the story, more
than 80 years ago. Some of the most
notable of these scenes are the Swanee
River by moonlight, cotton fields in
full bloom. the Ohio River in winter,
and the escape of Eliza, carrying her
-nild, across the floating ice; the rocky
pass, IN which George Harris made
his stand against the men pursuing
him and protected his family; the St
Clair plantation home, the levee al
New Orleans, showing a slave auction
Legree's plantation, and lastly, the
beautiful transformation scene, show
ing Eva's ascension to the Celestial
City The play has long since been

The campaign book quotes extracts
from the speeches of acceptance of
Taft and Sherman to show that they
stand squarely on the equal justice
plank" and in discussing the atti-
tude of the Republican party toward
the Negro the campaign managers
say:
Prior to the advent of Abraham
Lincoln and the Republican party
about 100000 AfrO-Americans were
held in bondage in the Southern
| States, then, as now, controlled by
the Democrats, and when the Repub-
lican party elected Lincoln President
thus setting the stamp of disapprOval
upon the Democratic desires, these
Democratic Southern States seeded
from the Union and attempted to set
up a ConfederaCy, with human slavery
as the chief cornerstone.
The Republican party determined
that the Confederacy should be de-
stroyed; that the Union should be
preserved; and, true to its principles
and in keeping with his own declara-
ton, the Great Emancipator struck
the shacbles from the limbs of the
bondsmen. Following the freedom of
the slaves came their enlistment IN
the army and navy, and by this act
the names of 1000 Afro-Americans
were added to the honor roll. The
leaders of the Republican party, feel
, ing that their work was far from
completion, framed and passed the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
amendments, and the States ratified
| their action, thus making slavery i'm
possible and confirming the civil and
| political rights of the AfrO-AmeriCan
people.
Clothed by the Republican party
with the right to vote, is 1t surprising
that these newly-made citizens voted
with the party which had taken them
from their former position as mere
chattels and made them citizens of
| the Republic?
Education North and South.
"In the matter of public education
! the difference between the two par
! ties is marked. In the North, where
| the Republicans generally control
education among the colOred people
is widely diffused, while in the Dem
ocratic South the percentage of il
literacy is very great.
"The Democratic legislators fail to
provide equal school facilities for the
two races, and in several States the
! facilities, already meager, have re-
