PERSECUTION IN RUSSIA.

About three years ago the Rus
sian government issued a decree
granting religious freedom to all
it's subjects. It was hailed as the
omen of brighter era in the his
tory of Russia. It was especially
welcome to the Catholic inhabit-
ants of the realm Of the Gear.
They had known bitter persecu-
ton; they had been subjected to
the assaults of bigotry and oppres-
sion; and they rejoiced at the
prospect Of better days.
But the Catholic Church has not
benefited as much as it expected
from this ukase Of federation. Re
ligious persecution is still the por-
ton Of it's children in Russia.
The character and extent Of
these prosecutions may be cleaned
from letter recently published in
ella Correspondence de Rome
which enters into details regard
ing the trials to which Catholics
have been subjected on account of
their faith. For example, priests
are condemned to fine and impris-
onment for daring to bless the
marriages Of converts from the
Russian Orthodox Church and to
baptize their children. The Rus
sian tribunals are overcrowded
with such cases. The pastor OF
Zabludy was fined forty roubles
for baptizing the child Of a mixed
marriage; and the Able Walento-
wicz for having heard the confes.
sions of several persons who had
renowned the orthodox religion
The Judicial Chamber of St. Pc
tersburg condemned a woman Of
Vitebsk to two years imprison
ment for having her child baptized
in the Catholic Church; and the
priest who performed the cere
mony had to pay fine of two hun
dred roubles and submit to Other
indignities.
j In many districts, as in that o.
Chelm, the orthodox clergy instead
of respecting and trying to enforce
the edict Of liberation, are unceas
ing in their efforts to extirpat,
Catholicity.
When new Catholic church wa
erected in Minsk some time ago al
orthodox paper, the. Minskoi
Slowo,' took occasion to complain
| that, as a result of the policy 0
liberation, Catholics would soo1
have great influence in Russia il
: as in Minsk, they were permitte'
to build church whose spire
overlooked the town and rose to
greater height than those Of tn
i Orthodox Church! The same jour
nal deplored the passing of tn
days when there was no tolera
ton; and it can scarcely be doubt
I ed that it voices the sentiments o
. La majority Of the orthodox Rus
, slams.

AMERICAS CATHOLIC POPU.
LATION.

Elsewhere we publish the sta
tistics Of the Catholic Church in
America furnished by the advance
sheets of the Official Catholic Di=
rectory. It places the Catholic
population at 14,618,761. This is
considerably higher than the num-
Der given by Fl. K. Carroll, who,
it is claimed, compiled the sta
tistics of the different churches in
the United States from reliable
sources. He assigns to the Cath
Ollie Church membership. Of
12,321,746
How account for this differ
ence? The non-Catholic churches
reckon among their followers only
those who are COMMITMENTS; and,
in accordance with this method of
computing membership, Mr.. Car
roll gives only the number of COM
municants of the Catholic Church.
This excludes, of course, infants
and children who are not regard
ed as communicates. The Federal
Census Bureau makes this dlstinc-
ton. also, as is evidenced by the
fact that it adds note to it's
tables to the effect that only COM
municants are enumerated, that
fifteen per cent is deducted from
the total for infants and children.
The Catholic Church, however,
counts its members not by com
municants but by souls. And il
we add fifteen per cent to the num-
Der given by Mr.. Carroll we gel
14,17O,OO7, which still falls below
that given by the Official Direc
tory. The latter is more nearly
correct, as it obtains its data from
the Chancery Offices Of the differ
ent dioceses in America.
But even the number given by
the Catholic Directory is believed
to be much lower than the actua
Catholic population. Some years
ago an investigation was made un
der the direction Of the Most Rev
erend Archbishop Glennon OF st
Louis which disclosed the fact tina
the actual number Of Catholics j,
America is much greater than tina
given i'll the Directory. When W.
take into account immigration
and natural increase, this numbel
appears to be too small. and Their

Yet when all advice is given to a
girl about how to begin life in big
city. the counsel given in the fore
going paragraphs remains the best of
all. Stay where you are. You will
live healthier, happier and more vir-
tuous life, where no insidious tempta-
tons Turk to destroy you, and you can
breathe Gods untainted air in your
own childhood's home, and among sur
roundings which, in sprte of their al
legged humdrum monotony, are safest
and best for you

DANGERS OF CITY LIFE.

Usually one may sum up the dangers
confronting her under two heads
those confronting her on entering into
the city and those encountered during
her stay there.
Let me try to shed some light on the
manner in which most of the girls
from the. farm make their entry into
the city. My informant is connected
with the probation Office in Mime
apolis and speaks, one may say, at
first hand, and from intimate knowl-
edge of the facts and situations de
scribed.
Last spring, says this official, two
factory inspectors from the women's
department of the Bureau of Labor
met the day trains coming into the
Union Depot of st. Paul during one
week. They kept an accurate count
of all the girls coming into the city

BEWARE OF THE ONE GLASS.

In the one glass turks a world of
evil. Even one glass disturbs the quiet
and natural working of the human sys-
tenn, and is sure to produce a certain
amount of intoxication. But we should
look at it's tendency, to see the delu-
sion and danger involved in this one
glass;
1t is the one glass at dinner or sup
per or for medicine that has gradually
created liking for the liquor on the
part of thousands, and which has end
ed in their ruin.
1t is the one glass at the public
house which leads to a second and
third, and which with millions ends in
drunkenness, with all it's terrible con-
sequences.
1t is the one glass ordered by the
doctors to delicate persons that creates
the appetite for stimulants, which new
er give real strength and often lead the
poor sufferer to excess.
1t is the one glass, taken at the So
c1al board, or at the bar parlor, or at
their fathers table, that has led to the
dissipation of so many young men, al
most to the heartbreaking of their
parents
1t is the one glass on the part of
many tradesmen that leads to their ex-
pensive habits and to the neglect and
mismanagement of their business, end
ing too often in insolvency and ruin.
If people would calculate the dread
full consequences lurking in the one
glass, they would dash it from them
as their greatest foe
Every case of drunkenness begins
with the one glass, and suicides, man
slaughters and murders proceed from
this same cause
Behold the degradation of the female
sex through intoxicating liquors! This
all commences with the one glass.
The publicans know the power of
the one glass. Persons never say,
Come, let us go in and have two
glasses" but the one becomes two, and
the two becomes days drinking in
numberless instances.
What mistake for persons to say,
Zone glass will do nobody harm" A
single spark has fired many a fine
building and destroyed millions worth
of property.
There is no good either in the first
or second glass, and therefore shun it
as you would your greatest enemy

truth were known, America s
Catholic population is not much
below eighteen millions.
If to this we add the number of
Catholics in the Philippines, Porto
Rico and the Hawaiian Islands,
the number reaches the grand to-
tai of more than twenty-six
million Catholics who live under
the protecting folds of the Stars
and Stripes.

SoBRlETY A GUARANTEE OF
REVENUE.

Many good people, jealous for the
public welfare, worry themselves un-
necessarily about the sources of NUM-
cipal revenue in the event of that
from the liquor traffic being cut OFF.
No one questions the craftsmanship of
Gladstone and his foresight in provid-
ing the funds necessary for the con-
duct of public affairs. On the subject
of liquor revenue he once said: 'H
Gentlemen, you need not give your
selves any trouble about the revenue.
The question of revenue must never
stand in the way of needed reforms:
but give me sober population, not
wasting their earnings in strong drink,
and shall know where to obtain the
revenue

When King George V. Of Eng
land opened Parliament on the
sixth instant he used, for the first
time, the Accession Declaration
as amended by act Of Parliament
last year. 1t omits the offensive
reference to the essential articles
Of Catholic belief contained in the
old form Of the oath. 1t reads
as follows: II, George, do sol
emily and sincerely in the pres
ence of God profess, testify, and
declare that I am faithful Pro-
testant and that [ will, according
to the true intent Of the enact
ments which secure the Protes-
tant succession to the Throne of

The Lenten Regulations pub
lished in this issue summarize
what the Church requires of her
children during this penitential
season. They constitute the test
Of practical Catholicity for the
forty days beginning on Ash
Wednesday. Their observance is
an outward manifestation Of the
interior spirit of penance which
religion aims to foster. Exemp-
ton from the lenten fast must be
sought from ones confessor, who
alone is authorized, for sufficient
reasons, to commute it to some
other good work. No one is the
judge in his own case.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY IS. 1911.

The observance Of the lenten
fast and abstinence is a good dis
cipline even from the natural
point of view. How much better
it becomes when it is done for

UNIONS WILL
RENEW FIGHT
Masons, Bricklayers, Hod
Carriers and Laborers.

The Bricklayers' and Masons' Union
and the Building Laborers and Hod
Carriers Union Of this city, reached an
agreement in order that they may fight
their labor battles as one. There have
been a number Of conferences between
committees of the organization on this
subject of late and final action has
been taken to have the branches join
hands. Thus, in event either body be-
comes iasolved in q labor tangle the
other one will go out in sympathy, so
that mason work will be tied up COM
pletely.
Members Of some Of the other local
building trade unions not affiliated with
the mason and hodcarrier organizations,
declare these bodies have joined hands
for the purpose Of securing big in
crease in pay about May l. This is de-
MED by an official Of the masons un-
ion. He stated the unions had gotten
together for the purpose of establish
ing better union conditions, that none
but union men be employed on jobs,
some of which are only partly union
jobs.
This means that where union brick
layers are employed, the hodcarriers
must be union men also, and vice versa.

Dismisses Aligalr Case.
apselal % he EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, March "a
Judge Lyon today concluded the
sayreville liquor fight by revoking
the retail license of John A Engel-
hardt In Sayreville and dismissing
charges brought against Andrew
Allgair. These cases conclude the
fight that has been waged against
Sayreville liquor dealers by the
Woman's Christian Temperance I'M
ion for some time past. AS a result
OF the work of this union three
licenses were revoked. Two other
cases were lost.
In passing Judgment In the case
against Engelhardt, Judge Lyon
stated 1t was plain that the accused
man had violated the law by selling
liquors to minors. He stated the
sales had been made and only wit
messed by the prosecuting detectives.
The latter had not taken any part in
manufacturing the evidence but had
simply watched Engelhardts busi-
ness.
Regarding Andrew Allgair's case
the court stated there was no eyi-
denee of any violation of the law ex-
eepting that forwarded by the de-
tectives. Continuing it stated there
was grave doubt as to the extent
of the violations and would there
fore give Allgair the benefit of the
doubt by dismissing the charges.
