LIBERTIES
Always Safe When Conn
nitted to Catholic
Hands.

Following an address by Gov. Dix,
in which he characterized Thomas
Dongan, the first and only Roman
Catholic Governor of New York, as
an "exemplar of loyalty and liberty" )"
Archbishop John M. Farley declared
Sunday at the unveiling of a
memorial tablet to Gov. Dongan at
st. Peters church, that where the
liberties of people are committed
to a Catholic, their liberties are
safer than when committed to any
other Individual"
"I would be derelict," the Arch
bishop continued, ''if I were not to
draw attention to this lesson from
the career Of the first Catholic Gov
ernor of New York-colonial 1t is
true, but we have never had an
other. Why not a Catholic Coz
ernor of New York again? If Gov.
Dongan set the pace for the entire
country in so many things, If his
spirit informs the charter of New
York today, as 1t does, and informs
also the fundamental features of the
Governments of most OF England's
colonial possessions today, why
should we not entrust to a Catholic
Governor the affairs of the State of
New York some day."
The ceremonies attending the un-
yelling we're most impressive and
we're witnessed by large and dis
gathering.

unwilling to trust his sight or to
arouse false hopes, kept his peace,
and early the next morning, October
IL, sailor on the lookout saw land
and the pent-up hopes of realization
gave vent in that glad shout Of
'Landi Landl" shout destined to
be echoed and re-echoed to the pres
ent time, when thousands yearly
sight the Statue of Liberty and cry
out "Landl Land of our dreamsl
Land of promised" That is what this
land has been since that memorable
October of 1892.
What must have been the emo
tions in the breasts of those despair
ing men, and how much more intense
must have been those of their com
mander-joy and satisfaction at the
successful elimination of his efforts,
gratitude to God, who In so magnifi-
cent and singular a manner answered
his prayers. sacrifices, and we are
told upon landing all threw them
selves upon their knees, kissing the
ground and thanking a beneficent
Creator, while Columbus holding
aloft the manubrim of his sword,
fashioned as a cross, christened the
new found land San Salvador, thus
dedicating n to the Saviour of the
world.
After further explorations he re-
turned to Spain for his reward. He
was received with open arms and his
prowess extolled on eevry side. But
Columbus was not satisfied. Again
and again he visited the scenes Of HIS
triumph, while his enemies were at
work in the court of Spain, and
finally. as a result of their intrigues,
Columbus was branded criminal
and brought back to Spain in chains,
where soon after the physical tor
ments consequent upon exposure and
the mental agony produced by the
display of ingratitude made his soul
long to break from its confinement,
which it finally did on Ascension
day, in the year 1906, fitting day
for the death of the second
liberator.

reorganization has been decided
upon and Papal bull will shortly
be issued dividing England into three
ecclesiastical provinces with arche-
piscopal sees at Liverpool. Birming-
ham and Westminster. Two new
dioceses will also be formed, one
out of portion of Liverpool and
the other out of the actual diocese
of Northampton, with its see in

Westminster will be considerably re-

READY TO START
INVESTIGATION IF
COURT PERMITS
Burlington County Wants Probe
Into Insane Hospital
and FreehOlders.
Especial to the Newark star.l

BURLINGTON, Feb. 14.-If Supreme
Court Justice Voorhees, grants the
probe petition there will be a dual in
v~estigation started at once. The in
quiry will delve into the management
of the Burlington County Hospital for
the Insane at New Libson, and the
larger question OF the ftness for the
Board of Chosen Freeholders Of Bur-
lington county. The hearing VIII take
place on March 4.
The proposed investigation 10 in re-
gard to the management of the asylum
by C. Clarence Deacon. who Is charged
with Irregularities, some admittedly
petty, but others grave In character.
The administration of Mr.. Deacon. who
is the superintendent Of the asylum,
was investigated In star-chamber last
December and he was ex~onerated.
The impending attack upon the Board
Of Freeholders, which is charged with
exceeding the appropriations made to
it, was unexpected by a majority of the
township representatives in the board,
and has stirred up much feeling. The
members of the board, incensed by the
wider scope that II Is proposed to give
the investigation, are arraying them
SG1Ntb VII LliC SAoC "a 0ONN
residents of the county who favor the
abolition of the Board Of Freeholders
and the substitution of township COM
mlssioners thlnk they see an oppor-
tunity of having the change affected.
The view that Justice voorhees, Will
render Is expected to have an impor-
tant bearing on the fate of the Board
of Freeholders, as an investigation
would largely determine the vote on the
question OF abolishing the board. which
will come before the voters of the
county next November.
The most serious allegation in the
matter of expenditures relates to the
sums spent on the roads of Burlington
county The county auditors report for
1900 shows that the board in that year
expended s5S.5 s1.51. although the APP
preparation was S45, 900. 1t Is asserted
that a still greater discrepancy will be
shown as regards the a item In the
county budget for 1910. The total ex-
pendltures of the board for the year
1910 were about 3187, 900.
