NEW YORK sENAroRsHlP,

After taking seven joint ballots for
the election of United States sena-
tor to succeed Chauncy M. Depew, the
New York legislature failed to give
any of the candidates the majority
required for election. The New York
situation has some peculiar aspects.
The Democratic party, the majority
party in the legislature, went into
caucus and named William f. Sheehan
by majority bordering on three
fourths of the number of votes cast.
The opposition in the caucus was not
sufficient to put up the semblance of
a resistance. After the caucus, how
ever, the few disgruntled members,
instead of acquiescing in the will of
the majority of their party colleagues,
carried their opposition into the legis-
lature and at the joint session voted
with the minority party, preventing
Mr.. Sheehan from receiving the re-
quired vote for election. Under nor
NAL conditions the majority party in

lance with Fitz-Greene Halleck and
William Cullen Bryant, after coming
to New York as a law student:
II will note here a habit to which
have always been addicted. l refer
to an inclination, from my early youth,
for the society of persons who were
incontestably my super1ors. In look
ing back upon my past life L have
been frequently impressed with a
sense of my obligations to the supe-
rior standards by which I had from
time to time the privilege of gauging
my conduct. For full twenty years
after my daily intercourse with Mr..
Bryant, terminated by my retirement
from the Evening Post and absence
from my country, 1 would find myself
frequently testing things I had done
or proposed to do by asking myself:
How would MIR. Bryant act under
similar circumstances I rarely ap-
piled this test without receiving
clear and satisfactory answer"
Did that mean that the young stu
dent had no mind and character of
his own? On the contrary, John Bige.
low was always man of strong and
unusual personality and of striking
ability. He was, indeed, the sort Of
youth who often becomes objection
able just because he realizes his own
superiority instead of looking for SUI
periors to admire. The thing that
shaped his career, that made him
most valuable, was his humility add
cd to his ability. That combination
always goes far.
A desire to know ones superiors-
ones real superiors-is a wonderfully
wholesome desire for any young man
to have. Real superiority means no.
bier character than the ordinary right
ly used talents, high-mindedness and
unusual achievement. Superior people
are tonic to the mind To be in
their society is to be helped forward
toward nobler ideas and standards

the Catholic Northwest Progress. His
opponents, especially those of the
Keplerbund, are called dolts, hypo-
critics and other nice names. DR..
Brass is an ignorant and insolent fell
low. Unfortunately, Haeckel is not
so strong in his arguments as in his
language. To the charge of falsifi-
cation he replies: 'In order to put
an end to this unsavory quarrel,
make the 'contrite' confession that a
small portion of my embryo pictures
(about six or eight per cent? has been
falsified in DR.. Brass sense of the
word-in all those, namely, in which
the absence of material for observa-
ton made it necessary, when con-
structing an unbroken evolutionary
chain, to fill up the lacunae with n.y.
potheses. Only the profess
sional embryologist can tell how diff
ticult this task is and how easily the
draughtsman may make a mistake"
The great" Haeckel has not tam
pered with pictures; he has only
filled up lacunae with hypothesis!

would probably result in an action on
the part of dissatisfied members to
continue the church organization in
dependent of the conference.
The whole matter is speculative and
may be finally settled without friction.
IT only illustrates what difficulties
may arise from the lack of a central
church organization which is not
prompted to act by any selfish motives
but which plans its course with the
general welfare of the whole organiza-
ton in view. Just as no man is quail
fed to judge his own case, no organi-
cation, secular or religious, can be
depended upon for any considerable
time to interpret it's own rights in
such way as to avoid conflicting with
its neighbors operating in the same
field. The principle of harmony lies
in recognizing and submitting to the
will Of a properly constituted author
ity.

AS the result of the generosity Of
the last Maine legislature, the Sisters
of Mercy, who have entire charge of
the educational work among the Old
Town Indians, are now living in the
finest home of any OF those devoted

the uplifting of the Maine Indian. 1t
required about five months and an
expenditure of $500 to bring to COM
pletion this handsome, modern home
for these women teacners on Indian
Island. 1t was designed to take the
place of the old convent, which even
in it's best days was far from what
it should have been for the housing
and comfort of the Sisters in charge
of the work.

Bishop Corbett has returned from
Duluth, where last Monday evening
he delivered an address in the Cathe-

and many were turned away says a

Bishop Corbett is greatly beloved by
the people of Duluth, and the express

he was made Bishop of Crookston
We're of such a general and spontau-

Co-Education Denounced,

Co-education, which has been tried
on small scale here, says London
dispatch, was the subject Of a heated
discussion at the annual meeting of
the private schools association, but
the overwhelming sentiment of the
masters was against it, Rev. DR..
Burns of Plymouth said:
Mature demands the separation OF
the sexes early in life. The best ed
ucationalists are against co-education,
and public opinion is inclining in the
same direction. 1t is one of the Amer,
lean peoples silly dreams. They are
like children trying experiments with
new theories"
Women educationalists were the
principal defenders of co-education,
insisting that it takes lot of non.
sense out of girls heads, produces
healthier relations between boys and
girls and in addition is exercising sal.
utary restraint on the former. The
president declared.
ut would be impossible to carry
out co-education without enormous
dangers, as is shown both in America
and here. Even if this difficulty did
not exist the sexes are bound to de.
teriorate by familiarity early in life

Prof. James Farnum Edwards, one
of the most widely known members Of
the faculty of the University of Notre
Dame, has passed to his reward. His
death occurred last Sunday at st. Jo-
seph's hospital South Bend, where he
had been a patient for nearly six
months, and was due to paralysis and
Eright's disease. Three days prior to
his demise, Prof. Edwards lapsed into
comatose condition and was uncon-
scious until his death. The last rites

For nearly four years Prof. Edwards
has been in failing health. He suf-
fered a slight paralytic stroke in the
fall of 1908 which incapacitated him
from duty tor several days. Upon his
recovery however he insisted upon re-
Stunning his scholastic labors and with
undaunted courage entered upon them,
only to suffer Il second stroke some
months later This compelled him to
retire from active work as a member
OF the faculty. Considerable time was
thereafter spent by the gifted educat.
or at the university inf1rmary. Recov-
erlng sufficiently to travel, trip was
taken by the patient last summer, but
upon his return his condition of health
became more serious and after short

Great Work Being Done BY Former
MinneapoIitan Among convicts.
Rev. Father Kelly, who will be re-
membered by many of our readers as
prominent plumber of this city over
a quarter of a century since, has for
a number of years been doing re-
markably effective work in the cause
of the Church among the convicts OF
the Ohio State Penitentiary. He is
chaplain of the prison, receives a sal
airy from the state and enjoys the
confidence and respect of all the in
mates regardless of creed. Com
menting on the mission which Father
Kelly conducted in the prison not
long ago, a writer in the Cincinnati
Enquirer says:
Zone thing more we will take with
us, know-the picture of one man,
whose hair has become silvered with
age, whose lips have spoken to US
and those before us, for Is long years;
who has gone among US, listening to
our woes and sorrows, sharing them
with us, giving us comfort and
strength and patience to bear the bur-
den. One of Gods noblemen, one of
Gods priests, one whom God Himself
has chosen for this work. And if you
do not know him yet. you shall know
