INCONSISTENCY.

Some people are without any con-
scientious notions which they need
to reconcile. A fine example of this
is shown In the case of the child Ia
Dor in Mississippi and the bill pre-
scented to the legislature for the in
spection Of converts. 1t seems per-
fectly proper in the state Of Missis-
sippi to ring the life-blood from little
children. and transform 1t into the
coin of the realm. Little children,
six, seven and eight years of age. are
compelled to take their place with
adults and labor in the factories and
canneries. The eyes of the MISSISSIPPI
plans are closed to this outrage and
only become attentive to the welfare
of the child when bigotry and reli-
gious animosity enlarges their hearts
to the necessity Of protecting little
children who are comfortable, safe,
and protected within the walls of con-
vents and under the guidance of the
teaching Sisters.

Facts About v. s.

The population Of the United States
and the population per square mile
have almost doubled since 1880. The
national debt is $1,000 per capita, less
than third of 1880. Next decade will
probably show an increase. Money in
circulation is $34.58. There are now
7,473 national banks, twice as many
as in 1900.
There are now 10,766,0Oo deposit
tors in savings banks, against $780,.
600 in 1900. Individual deposits in
national and savings banks aggregate
$10,6S0, 100000, against $5,S47, 100000

Diaz Reported ReconcIIed.

A Madrid paper, which the Revista
Catolica of Las Vegas, N. NJ, vouches
for as being generally well-informed,
declares that Porfirio Diaz, ex-presi-
dent of Mexico, has now, in his old
age and retirement, turned to the
Church which, during the greater part
of his life, he had neglected. Our
Madrid contemporary thinks that the
grave given to Diaz in his old age, is
due, doubtless, to the fact that when
he was in power in Mexico, he never
prosecuted the Church, although he
did not live according to her precepts.
Indeed, he publicly and privately de-
tended her from anti.clerical attacks.
Today, far from the noise and dangers
of politics, he occupies himself sole
ly in preparing his soul for the voy.
voyage to eternity.

AS an echo Of the work of ex-Mayor
Nathan of Rome. the Catholics have
again taken up the matter of using
the public schools to conduct classes
in catechism and have been success
full in their efforts. During the period
OF five years when Nathan and the
ANTI lericals were in power, the
Catholics Of Italy, numbering almost
forty to one, were obliged to suspend
the practice of teaching catechism in
the public schools. This Nathan is
the same person whom the govern.

America to accept as the official rep

PILLoRIzINe CONGRESSMAN.

CONSERVATION reigned in the sane
tum of the st. Paul Pioneer Press
when they learned that James J. Re-
gan had expressed his opinions while
in Washington, relative to the repeal
of the Canal Tolls Bill. Nothing that
has happened in recent months has
so alarmed the force of the Pioneer
Press, than the remarks of Mr.. Re.
gan upon the Tolls proposition, and
after having returned fulsome praises
to kind Providence for protecting
the office force of the Pioneer Press
from such a calamity as the election
of Jas ]. Regan for Congress-, the
Pioneer Press delivered itself of the
following opions regarding Mr.. Regan
as congressman.
Afraid Only to BE Wrong.
Reading what he had to say in
Washington relative to the repeal of
the canal tolls bill, st. Paul people
will rejoice that ]. ]. Regan was de-
feated for congress and that we have
as representative Of this district a
member who will support the repeal.
Mr.. Regan takes the narrow, worse
than impossible view that we propose
to undo the work Of congress in the
matter of toll exemptions because we
are afraid Of England, and points out
the demoralized condition of the Brit

THE MENACE IN CANADA.

The freedom of the press in this
country has become a matter of I'M
bridled licences and the more licen-
tious and blasphemous the greater the
probability of its immediate circulation.
We have spectacle in our country of
persons not SO irreligious but who are
supposedly afraid of the opinions of
the atheists, scoffers and blasphemers.
Canada has successfully barred the
menace" but we have no law, so
says the postmaster general, by which
we can deny the use of the mails to
the Aurora sheet. And yet lawyers
tell US that the foundation of our legal
system was English common law. The
following is from the Northwest Prog
ress, of Winnipeg, anent the menace
in Canada:
The Menace has crossed the bor-
der into Canada. This vicious sheet,
compared with which the Orange SEN
tinel is the embodiment of truth, has
started publication in Aurora, Ontario.

the United States to the dangers of

office at Aurora, Missouri startling
revelations" of the operations of Cath.
Ollie institutions and organizations,
principally the Knights of Columbus.
This is to laugh. No more than six
weeks ago this alleged Menace was
forced to admit through the courts
of Philadelphia that its attack on the
Knights was "all a BLUR; that the
circulating of the false oath was COM
mitted without the possession of a
vestige of evidence that might estab-
fish the truth Of the charges.
1t is safe to say that the Menace in.
stead of provoking anti Catholicism
in the United States, has been instru-
mental in bringing about conversions
The n-Catholics Of the present day
In the United States are too enlight-
ened to heed the odoriferous illusions
OF the Menace. SANDER in many in.
stances has urged enquiry into the
doctrine and conduct Of the Catholic
Church and her adherents, which,
through the discovery of the only true
religion, has resulted in baptisms.
If the Menace believes that it can
stir up aversion to Catholicism in
Canada, outside of perhaps the thin.
ming ranks Of Orangeism, it is woe
fully mistaken. It will find the Cath.

1t, much stronger and more impreg-
nable here than in the United States.
It is a safe wager that 1t will not

Famous Irish Monks Who Founded
Monasterles in GERMANY.

Those brilliant names in the his
tory of European scholarship who dis
tinguished themselves under Charlie
magne, his sons and his grandsons,
Clemens. Dicuil, and scotus Erigena,
who all taught in the Court schools,
Dungal, who taught in Pavia, Sedu-
Illus. who worked in Luttich, Fergal,
Virgil who ruled in Salzburg, and
Moengal, the teacher Of st. Gall. were
not altogether without successors. It
Is true that Ireland's great mission of
instruction and conversion came to q
close with the eleventh century, yet for
two centuries more. driven by that in
nate instinct for travel and adventure
which was so strong within them
that 1t resembled a second nature, we
find Irish monks creating new foun-
dations on the continent, especially in
Germany. One of the most note
worthy of these was a monk from the
present Donegal, Muiredach mac Rob-
ertigh, who assumed the Latin name
Of Marianus Scotus, or Marian the
Irishman. In 1876 he had succeeded
in establishing an Irish monastery at
Ratisbon, or as the Germans call 1t,
Regensburg, the fame of which rap
idly spread, and attracted to 1t many
Of his countrymen from Ulster, so
many that the parent monastery failed
to accommodate them; and branch
house, that Of st. Jacob, was COM
pleted in I'LL.
From these points Irish monks pen

the same time the Irish Abbots of Rat

Irish houses, st. James of Ratisbon

ing wrong and that it is not afraid to
do right, even when doing right means
to retrace its steps. We pledged our

Der of congress who refuses to stand
for the right and with the president
on this proposition will be pilloried
by public opinion and will deserve the
punishment.
After glance at the above article
and really glance is all it requires,
because 1t is devoid of anything that
requires careful study, 1t is easy to
imagine the fear and trembling with
which our st. Paul contemporary
would look upon the presence of Mr..
Regan in congress. With the lamen.
tation that "our word has been
pledged and our National honor at
stake" Mr.. Regain is looked upon as
the modern "giant-killer," who warns
his fingers, cools his porridge, with
the same breath. The presence of
Mr.. Regan in congress and the use of
his smile and his persuasion would, &C.
cording to the article, SO confuse the
president Of the Republic that the
Democratic party would thus be in
weighed into keeping the promises and
pledges made at the Baltimore con-
vention. What matters it that Con.
gresham Smith and Congressman
Manahan, that Speaker Clark and Os.
car Underwood voted along with
scores Of other Democrats, so long as
]. ]. Regan was not there. But we
are overlooking the important point;
imagine the CONSERVATION, the howl
and the cries Of despair that would
have gone up II Mr.. Regan opposed the
platform Of the Democratic party and
opposed President Wilson when the
president declared himself in favor
of free passage for American coast
wise ships. Gould the st. Paul Editor
have summoned vocabulary bitter
enough to express his anguish had
Mr.. Regan been elected upon the
ground that he was opposed to free
tolls? The st. Paul Pioneer Press
has executed mental somersault. It
now proposes to pillorize at the cross
roads of public decency every man
who pledged himself to support the
platform Of the Democratic party as
outlined in the convention of Balti-
more. Mr.. Regan, in expressing his
opinion upon the repeal Of the canal
tolls, was in very decent company as
the vote on the bill indicates. He
was among those who had the man
hood to express their opinions with
out the fear Of presidential disfavor
and in opposition to those who agreed
with the president because they
danced with delight when he gave
them a smile and trembled with fear
at his frown.
