DRUNKENNESS A SIN.

The world forgets, some of our
own people forget, that drunkenness
is sin; that it destroys the image of
God in man; that it is an enemy of
God as well as the ruin of mans
body, his temporal hopes and his
soul. There is no slavery that sin
can place upon man SO degrading as
the slavery of drink. Bad as man is,
sin has never entered into his nature
so as to become an inseparable part
of it. BY the grace of repentance he
can always shake off sin and cast it
out from his soul, but this sin of
drunkenness, as you know, almost be-
comes part of his nature, it enters
his very blood, his very brain, affects
the thoughts of his mind, the acts of
his will, the very members of his
body; 1t becomes almost as much
part OF him as the original sin in
which he was born. 1t is a most diff
cult habit to root out, as the contin-
ued excess eats away and destroys so
much or the nerve and brain that
there is scarcely moral and intellect
ual power sufficient left to make
that strong resolution which is neces-
sary for the overcoming Of the habit.
But all may recover as long as rea-
SON lies behind prayer and the grace
of God.

to his credit. Whatever Of this

THE IRISH BISHOPS AND THE
STRIKE.

At a general meeting Of the
Irish Bishops held at Maynooth
college under the presidency Of
His Eminence Cardinal Logue, a
statement was issued in regard to
the recent strikes in which the
Bishops point out that if Ireland
were independent Of England she
would not have been fettered by
the demands of the English
strikers who, without thought
for her particular, needs and
industries, inflicted a grave in
jury on her trade by their
tyrannous injunctions. The lead
ing conflict was not decreed by
the freely-elected' representatives
Of an Irish organization, formed
for the protection Of Irish
labor, neither was the general
railway strike ordered for such
legitimate purposes as to obtain a
living wage or secure reasonable
hours of employment, but for the
blind purpose of sympathetic
strike. In this statement they
propose to remedy this evil by the
establ ishment Of courts Of arbitra-
ton for the settlement Of such dis
putes with the added provision
that punishment be inflicted on
those who refuse to abide by the
verdict of the court. They suggest
also the enactment Of laws requir-
ing that due notice of any large
strike organized by any section Of
workers be given. The establish
ment of such courts and the enact
ment Of such legislation will help,
in their opinion, to bring about a
cessation Of such strikes but, they
add, cit is to sound public
opinion, formed on Christian prin-
ciples and keen sense of justice
between man and man, that we
look ultimately for the main pub
lie safeguard against the ruinous
commissions Of strikes and lock-
outs"

A LONG-LIVED FABLE.

There is a parish in St. Paul,
Minnesota, made up almost en-
tirely Of converts. On one occa-
sion there were three hundred and
sixty-fve adults confirmed on the
same day. On another occasion
the number totalled almost two
hundred
The foregoing item has gone the
ro lnds Of the Catholic press for
many months; and no doubt, its
career is not yet closed. We are
not aware Of the circuitous route
by which it injected itself into the
world of so-called Catholic news
but we do know that there>is not
single word Of truth in the state
ments contained in it. There is not
no w, and there never has been, a
parish in St. Paul made up almost
en- tirely, or even largely, of con-
verts; there never was a confirma-
ton class Of "almost two hun
dred' adult converts, not to
speak Of larger number. These
alleged facts have been used to
show the power of printer
ink" for these converts are said
to have been gained for the
Church by the distribution of
books and pamphlets bearing on
Ca holic faith and practice. 1t is
a poor cause that must be advo-
Gated at the expense Of truth; and
we hope our esteemed contempor-
aries will lay this venerable item
away among the other fables
which have done yeoman service
as space-fllers on many an occa-
sion when reliable news was
scarce.

A FRENCH TEMPERANCE ExPERi.
MENT.

The French government, which will
not be accused of fanaticism on the
liquor question, has recently arrived at
the end OF a six-year period of expert
ment in temperance legislation, says
the Minneapolis Journal The plan
took the form of an attempt to lessen
the evils OF alcoholism by substituting
for brandy, gin and absinthe the
cheaper and less harmful drinks.
Taxes on the former were greatly in
creased, and abolished on the native
wines. The loss Of the town duties,
or octroi, had to be made good by
piecing out municipal revenues In
other directions, but 1t was done sue
cessfully.
The first result was reduction of
fifty per cent In the consumption OF
alcoholic drinks. There was a CORE
spending increase In the drinking of
light wines, which untaxed became 30
cheap that a pint Of wine could be
bought i'm Paris for the cost of drink
Of whisky In America. Drunkenness
has fallen of proportionately to the
decrease in the consumption OF brandy,
gin and absinthe.
This appears to be the first official
recognition by the French Republic or
the problem Of drunkenness It takes
the customary first form OF an effort
to change the habits OF the people by
an application of the power OF taxa
ton. It II paternal only in It's sug-
gestion that the drinkers take some
thing as little harmful 10 themselves
as possible

THE DELEGATES FAREWELL

and Bishops of the United States
His Excellency, the Apostolic
Delegate, makes formal announce
ment of his elevation to the Car
dinalate and informs them that
his election to membership in the
Sacred College marks the end of

to the United States. He expresses
his appreciation of the kindness
shown him by the American peo-
pie and thanks the members of
the Hierarchy, "the lustre of the
Catholic Church in the United
States" for their cordial coopera-
ton and support during the years
in which he represented the Holy
Father among them. He con-
cludes his letter with the follow
ing tribute to their work. for the
ad vancement Of religion: Il carry
with me to Rome the best and
most consoling proof of the great
religious and social work which
has been successfully carried ON in
this vast Republic through the
zeal Of the Bishops and the eff
ficient cooperation of their beloved
Gle rgy and faithful people. When
at Rome, under the shadow of ST..
Peters, though far away from
you, | shall remember with joy
and pride this fourishing portion,
now so endeared to me, of Christ s
Divine Church, and I shall con-
sta ntly pray that God shall

His choicest gifts. F"

must say of them that it is most
perilous to put before tribunals,

were those that touch upon our

there who in his inmost heart is
not the enemy of our Monroe
doctrine? We look to the Senate

fies the treaties as they are now

tending emigrants, but many of
the Italians going abroad have not

thus placed at their disposal. His
Holiness has now directed that
systematic arrangements shall be
made in their interests throughout
Italy. The Cardinal Secretary of
State has addressed letter to all
the Bishops of the country explain
ing the Holy Father s wishes. In
cities and districts which send forth
emigrants the parish priests are to
take special care that. the young
are well instructed. as to the tenets
of their faith. Doctrinal teaching
is to be thorough, SO that il those
who receive it 60 later on to other
lands they may be able to repel
attacks upon their faith. Tn each
Diocese there is to be a Catholic
Emigration Society under the
presidency Of the Bishop. Through
it men and women who intend to
leave Italy either temporarily or
for life will obtain information
with regard to the towns or dis
tricts in which they propose to
settle, and will be supplied with
letters of recommendation to the
clergy. Losses to the Church will,
it may be, confidently hoped, be
prevented through the zeal Of the
parochial clergy and the action OF
these societies.

It is customary for the Pope
when creating a Cardinal to assign
him to a certain church in Rome
of which he becomes the titular
head. Thus, for instance, the
titular church Of His Eminence,
Cardinal Gibbons, is Sancta Maria
in Trastevere.
1t is reported that Monsignor
Falconio, the Apostolic Delegate,
will be assigned to the Church of
Sancta Maria in Araceli, which
was the titular church of the late
Cardinal Satolli; that Archbishop
Farley will take his title from the
Church of Sancta Maria sopra
Minerva, which was that Of the
late Cardinal McCloskey, the first
American member of the Sacred
College; and Archbishop O'Con-
nell from Sancta Susanna which is
attached to the Convent of the
Benedictine Nuns. This was the
Titular church of the late Cardinal
Moran of Australia.

LIQUOR IN AFRICA.

News comes from Cape Town that
report is about to be made by the
British colonial Office on the drink
question in British South Africa. A
widespread movement is gaining head
way in the various states to prohibit
the sale OF liquors to the natives, and
the colonial office is urged to help in
prohibiting liquors in states not under
the Jurisdiction of United South Africa.
The figures show that vast quantities
OF liquors are imported into the states
OF Nigeria, Somaliland, Rhodesia and
Bechunaland. The consumption of
liquors amounts to 100000 cases of
spirits annually, most Of it coming
from Hamburg. The government. it
is said, disikes, the traffic, but cannot
get along without the revenue. In
quiries show that the natives of Mig
erfa and elsewhere do not at present
crave drink, but the merchant is driy-
en- by competition to offer it as a
KIND OF premium. Those who profit
chiefly by the trade are the govern
ment by the revenue and the German
firms who make the stuff Many men in
South Africa and Britain are seeking
to secure international action to pro-
hibit the importation and sale of
spirits in the South African states.
The international Reform Bureau of
Washington is seeking to secure such
international action on the part of the
great powers as will prohibit the traf-
fic in opium and spirits in all the races
OF the world. 1t believes that the
time has come for the Christian ma
tons to draw up a charter of rights
for the unrepresented millions of the
backward races.

BISHOP sHANLEY's ESTATE

During the past few weeks
reference was made in the public
press to an estate valued at two
hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars said to have been be-
queathed to Archbishop Ireland
by the late Bishop Stanley Of
Fargo. The announcement was so
worded as to convey the impress
sion that this estate was the per-
sonal property of Bishop Stanley.
1t was said to consist of 'tbroad
acres" in the fertile state Of North
Dakota, where the Bishop exer-
cised episcopal jurisdiction for
nearly twenty years.
Those who were privileged to
know Bishop Stanley need not be
told that he left no personal
estate. Had he desired to enrich
himself, opportunities for doing so
were not wanting. With his
prudent foresight and faith in the
future OF North Dakota it would
have been comparatively easy
matter to secure large holdings
for his personal use; but to him
money had value only in so far as
it could be used to do good by
making the influence of religion a
vital factor in the daily lives of
the people. For its own sake it
was valueless in his eyes.
The property which was his at
the time of his sudden death was
property which he held in trust
for the Church in the Diocese of
Fargo. These holdings were in
his own name a method which is
no longer countenanced. All this
property he willed to Archbishop
Ireland to hold in trust for his
successor, and it has already been
turned over by his executor to the
different parish corporations to
which it rightfully belonged.
When the legal requirements were
complied with there was not
one dollar left as the personal
property of Bishop Stanley. And
furthermore, at no time did he

A very vigorous and successful
method of dealing with objection
able literature was inaugurated
recently in Limerick, Ireland, by
Father O'Connor of St. Michael's
Church. He organized vigilance
committee for the purpose Of pre-
venting the Importation and dis
tribution of immoral literature, in
decent postcards, and English
Sunday newspapers containing OBJ
jectionable details of criminal
cases. This committee met the
mail train on it's arrival at the
railway station and succeeded in
preventing twenty-four news
agents from distributing literature
of this class, while two others sent
their supplies back to England un-
opened. This method effectively
stopped the sale of several hun
dred papers, and it is understood
that other towns will follow the
example set by Limerick. Eng
land does not like it, but that is
the least consideration in the case.

The Ohio State Journal abiding
to the fact that one out of every
eight marriages in Ohio ends in
the divorce court, asks. what is
the cause of it? 1t attributes this
deplorable state of affairs to 'tthe
age in which we live, whose great
est concern seems to be excite
ment, pleasure, excess, selfshness,
indifference we are taken
off our feet and carried away
away from sober meditation and
personal responsibilities = y
life has become too extravagant
and spectacular, and so simple a
thing as marriage fails to fit in
with the clamor and push" The
only remedy for this is the recog-
milton of the claims of religion
which safeguard the sacred
character of the marriage bond by
insistence upon the permanence of
the union it begets. 'sThere is
no use talking adds this journal,
religion will have to become a
regnant force in the hearts of the
people, and marriage definite
part of it, before we reach solid
ground. =
