His Clerk Defies the Government and Is
Locked Out.
New York, Sept. 2.—United State/5 Super-
visor of Elections John Davenport no
longer holds office in the federal building.
The rooms which he occupied, Nos. 174,
176, and 178, were taken possession of to-
day at noon by Postmaster Dayton, acting
under instructions frorn the treasury de-
partment. The eviction of Davenport was
attended by a dramatic scene, during the
course of which Secretary Swift of the
postmaster's office was forcibly flung into
the corridor by Davenport's chief clerk,
James E. Doran.
Postmaster Dayton had been instructed
by Secretary Carlisle to take summary
moans of disposing of Davenport. At 11.40
Secretary Swift proceeded to Davenport's
office, which he found in charge of Chief
Clerk Doran. While awaiting the arrival
of the postmaster Mr. Swift stepped to
the door of the office looking out into the
corridor. Doran rushed to the open door,
banged it and locked it on the inside, leav-
ing the office by another door. Postmaster
Dayton at once obtained duplicate keys
and entered the office. He then had the
locks changed and the doors braced from
the inside.
CRUSHED HIS HEAD.
Roswell, N. M., Sept. 2.—At the round-up

interred to-day.

I00RE, MiSNEY & CO,
ABSOLUTELY PURE
Washington, Sept. 2.—[Special.]—In nei-
ther branch of congress was anything done
to-day that was of the leant Importance
to the public. The house spent Its time
In wrangling over the rules, and, contrary
to expectation did not fln'.nh up the work
of passing them. An adjournment was
made till Wednesday, when It is expected
that the work on them will be concluded.
The probable cause of this extended de-
bate Is that the house 1ms nothing par-
ticularly to do when the rules are adopted
and therefore there is no hurry.
The committee on appropriations can not
get down to work till the estimates are
in from the departments, and these, in all
probability, will not be In before next
month or the month alter. The river and
harbor estimates also can not tie received
before that time. •
"In the senate the time was taken In dis-
cussing the Chinese question and as soon
as that was done an executive session was
succeeded by an adjournment. But the
sessions of that body will hereafter com-
mence at 11 o'clock and everything Is be-
ing done by the anti-silver men to push
a vote.

KILGORT3 ON SILVER.
Washington, Sept. 2.— [Special.]—There
have been many rumors current as to the
way Congressman Kilgore stands on the
matter of bringing from the committee on
coinage, weights and measures a silver
measure. The committee stands at pres-
ent nine silver men to eight anti-sliver
men. Mr. Kilgore is one of the nine and
holds the balance of power on the commit-
tee. So his opinion as to what the com-
mittee ought to do in presenting a bill
is of the utmost importance. In response
to interrogatories by The News correspond-
ent, Mr. Kilgore said:
"No free and unlimited, coinage can be
had, but I believe a compromise measure
can be had that will open the way to free
coinage."
Asked as to what kind of a measure
would do this, he replied:
"Well, a limited coinage measure, such
as so much a month, like the Bland-Alli-
son act."
He then went on to say that he believed
that the proper policy to be pursued by
congress at this time should bo to pass
a measure that would be acceptable to the
administration, and that he believed that
the Bland-Allison law, or a law providing
for a limited coinage, would be acceptable.
Asked as to his idea3 about keeping the
head of silver above water, Mr. Kilgore
said:
"There are seventy millions of one and
two dollar notes now in circulation. Take
them up and put Jn their stead that amount
of silver dollars. This would increase the
value of silver and assist In removing the
disparity between gold anfl sliver."
j In conclusion he said: "I am in favor
of accomplishing some results favorable to
silver other than in pulling free coinage
bills and laklng speeches."
...
TO KILL TIME.
Washington, Sept. 2. — Notwithstanding
that surface Indications in the senate all
point to an early elfoVt cn the part of the
advocates of the repeal bill to force early
action upon that measure the sliver sen-
ators do not seem alarmed over the Imme-
diate situation. When spoken to on the
question they say little but seem to have
5. look upon tbelr faces which indicates
that they may know a thing or two that
the world at large is not familiar with.
While none will admit in terms that they
have any intention of filibustering, they
say with singular unanimity that they ex-
pect and Intend to secure full and free dis-
cussion of the question in all its phases
before a vote is taken. It has appeared
twice during the week that the silver men
j might run ashore for want of speakers.
That danger has been more imminent the
present week than it will probably be next
week or the week after, and it was not so
real as it appeared on either of the oc-
casions this week. There are no silver
advocates with written speeches and none
who, without written speeches, desired to
take the floor but there were three or
four of them who had foreseen the emer-
gency and were prepared to consume the
time of the senate until adjournment if
necessary. So it will go at least a few
weeks yet and it is quite improbable at
this writing that the "vacancy in speech"
to Which Voorlieos referrod in his speech
yesterday will be reached before the mid-
dle of the present month or some time
thereafter. Indeed, there are speecha now
In preparation whose authors say they will
not be prepared for delivery before the
10th.
The programme for next week is to have
at least one set speech for each day and
after that depend upon luck and routine
to consume the remainder of the time.

RATHER CHILLY.
Washington, Sept. 2.—[Special.]—Congress-
man Culberson wept to the treasury de-
partment to-day to urge Major Beale for
the position of Collector at El Paso, but he
found the whole department very cold,
either because of the change in the weather
or his vote on the silver question:

HOLDING UP APPOINTMENTS.
Washington, Sept. 2.—Among the names
sent to the senate yesterday by the presi-
dent were a number of appointment* for
offices in Oklahoma. The appointments
were referred to tho committee on public
lands, and at a meeting of the committee
thli morning a report on th 'tn wn* post-
poned until Monday, as Beniitor Pettlgrew
gave notice that he had specific charges
to prefer against one of the persons nomi-
nated. Republican members of the com-
mittee are lighting all nominations re-
ferred to It where the '•otne rule plank
In tho democratic platfo 1 Is disregarded.
Tho committee Is constituted of five demo-
crats, Including Chairman Senator Berry
of Arkansas, five republicans and one popu-
list. The latter takes sides with the re-
publicans in this matter, and, as In the
caso of some former nominations of this
kind, they are enabled to report to the
senato against confirmation of nominations.
This places the democrats in an awkward
position, but if in executive sessions they
stand together candidates will be con-
firmed by a strict party vote. Republicans
of the committee are receiving encourage-
ment in this action from certain residents
of Oklahoma who are much displeased that
the president should have feone outside of
the territory for appointments.
In the senate executive session to-day
the confirmation of several recess appoint-
ments was made. The nomination of Henry
C. Stuart to be secretary of legation In
Guatemala and Honduras and consul gen-
eral to Guatemala was rejected. Stuart's
residence is given as Denver, Colo. He
seems, however, only slightly known to
the senators from that state. He formerly
resided In Central America, where he was
engaged in business, and thus became fa-
miliar with the language and customs of
the people of the isthmus. This fact is
supposed to have been the chief influence
In securing his appointment. ,
■ . .
SENATE.
Washington, Sept. 2.—The warning was
given in the senate that the iron hand of
cloture might be applied to lerce the sen-
ate to vote on the repeal bill. Warning was
given by Senator Voorhees of Indiana and
came in the form of notice from the chair-
man of the finance committee that he
would on Monday next aslc the senate to
consider a motion' to begin early sessions at
11 o'clock a. m. instead of 12 noon.
"I have a sort of old-fashioned idea,"
says the senator in giving notice, "that
we should always submit to the will of
the majority and for that reason I will
ask for a vote of the senate on this propo-
sition."
Instantly silver senators construed this
into meaning that early meetings and long
sessions would be the rule, and that when
the speeches of the oppo.it.on were ex-
hausted the demand for » vote would be
made, and, if necessary, a; appeal to clot-
ure rule be made. As a iwult of this
warning silver senators have oelu a hur-
ried conference (ind their tdau of action
was to always have a man prepared for a
speech, so that there may be no dangerous
tnterval In debate similar to that of yes-
terday afternoon.
When the senate met Mr. Palmer of Illi-
nois submitted a joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the constitution of the
United States providing for the election
of senators by direct vote of the people.
The resolution, together with one( on the
same subject heretofore submitted by Mr.
Mitchell [rep.] of Oregon, which was on
the table, was referred to the committee
on privileges and elections.
At the conclusion of the morning business
Mr. Voorhees [dem.] of Indiana asked that
the repeal bill be laid aside temporarily
in order that Mr. Dolph mltrhf proceed with
some remarks he desired to submit upon
another subject. He said lie did this more
readily when he reflected that the bill had
really been before the senate but three
days. Next week was an era of real bus-
iness, wherein he trusted progress would
be made from hour to hour. Ho felt war-
ranted in taking this course Inasmuch as
he was not advised that anybody desired
io speak upon the bill, -vfter Mr. Dolph
should have concluded he would be glad
if other senators were ready to go on,
if not he would Indicate at that time what
he desired.
Mr. Hale [rep.] of Maine suggested, in
view of what had been said by Mr. Voor-
hees, whether he did not think it would
be advisable, either upon .Monday or Tues-
day of next week, for the senate to com-
mence Its session at 11 o'clock. He knew
the senator from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees)
had expressed himself a* very desirous
of pushing forward debate. If the senate
met at 11 o'clock, instead of tne day being
consumed »by one speech, there could be
two or three speeches.
Mr Voorhees: "I give notice now that on
Mondav 1 will ask to take the sense of the
senate on the question of meeting at U
o'clock. 1 give this notice in order that
senators may consider it. I have an old-
fashioned idea of the will of majorities
being carried out. I do not expect to con-
trol matters except through a majority ot
the senate." ,,
Mr Hale: "i am very '-tlad to hear the
senator give that notice.''
Mr. Dolph reviewed In detail tho legisla-
tion and treaties relating to the subject
and conditions which led up to the enact-
ment of the Geary act. In his mind there
is no doubt of the constitutional power
of the government to exclude undesirable
immigration. A nation that can not close
Its borders to a hostile alien element is
not a nation with full national prerogatives
and rights.
At 2 o'clock the repeal bill, as unfinished
business, was laid before the senate, and
on motion temporarily laid aside to al-
low discussion to continue on the sub-
ject of the Chinese exclusion act.
Mr. Gray [dem.] wished to express dis-
sent from the view that the abrogation of
a treatv was not a violation of it. Some
of the recent legislation had been in the
direction of a violation of the plighted faith
of the government, and a violation of such
character as seemed to him entirely un-
necessary. There never had been a time
during which recent legislation had been
discussed in congress that the United
States could not have initiated by diploma-
cy a mollification of the treaties and ac-
complished all that was sought to be ac-
complished by legislation.
Mr. Mitchell of Oregon inquired how the
senator from Delaware (Mr. Gray) recon-
ciled his statement with the fact that
after the United States md negotiated a
treaty with China having for Its purpose
the exclusion of Chinese liborers from this
country and sent that treaty back to
China, it was held by the Chinese govern-
ment months and month* without accept-
ance, and in fact never wis accepted.
Mr. Gray responded that the treaty was
held in China because at the time legisla-
tion which proposed ruthlessly and vio-
lently to set aside treat> obligations was
being discussed in congress.
Mr. Mitchell stated tha an examination
of the record would develop the fact that
the Scott bill, to which t ie senator doubt-
less referred, was not introduced in the
house until the treaty to which he (Mitch-
ell) referred had been some months in the
hands of the Chinese government.
Mr. Dolph's bill, at the conclusion of the
Hjoqir j
n '
debate, was referred to the committee on
foreign affairs.
After a brief executive seHslon the sen-
ate adjourned until Monday.
• • •
HOUSE.
Washington, Sept. 2.—Debate over the
rules is developing considerable feeling be-
tween Crisp leaders and some of the fac-
tional opposition in his own party to the
speaker's administration in the last house.
This Is apparent by the vigorous manner
in which they light some proposed changes
in the rules proposed In the interest of
expediting business and preventing obstruc-
tive tactics.
Mr. Tracey of New York to-day offered
an amendment striking out the clause in
rule 21 permitting amendments to the gen-
eral appropriation bills when those amend-
ments are in the Interest of retrenchment
of expenditures. In supoprt of this amend-
ment Mr. Tracey called attention to the
endless annoyance caused by members dur-
ing consideration of appropriation bills by
the presentation of amendments under the
shadow of this clause.
Mr. McMlllIn of Tennessee opposed the
amendment, as did Messrs. Simpson of
Kansas, Holman of Indiana and Stone of
Pennsylvania. Mr. Tracey withdrew the
amendment.
Mr. Kyle of Mississippi offered an amend-
ment increasing tho number of members
constituting a quorum of the committee of
the whole house to a majority of the mem-
bers of the house. Under the rules brought
in by members of the committee on rules
100 members are made a quorum in com-
mittee of the whole. The amendment pro-
posed caused a bitter and at times personal
debate in which the following participated:
Messrs. Outhwalte of Ohio, Dearmond of
Missouri, lteed of Maine, Breckenridge of
Kentucky, Catchings of Mississippi, Hook-
er of Mississippi, McMlllIn of Tennessee,
Turner of Georgia and others.
Mr. Turner of Georgia especially made
a strong and impetuous speech against the
proposed change by the rules committee.
He declared the Idea with which the com-
mittee of the whole had been provided for
was to give the house fuller and better op-
portunity for discussion of revenue and
appropriation bills. If the change were
adopted it would make the committee a
machine for the expedition of business,
not its consideration. It is a mistake to
suppose a committee of the whole is a sep-
arate entity, as Mr. Catchings suggested.
The committee can not adjourn without re-
calling the speaker. It is, in fact, the
house. If you reduce tho quorum what is
to become of the great parliamentary prin-
ciple requiring a majority to do business?
What change has come over this side or
the house? Why are we who denounced
the speaker of the Flfty-ttrst congress
now so ready to urlte with him. Repub-
licans are holding up their hands and feet
begging to b? bound hand and foot by the
majority. The ex-speaker relishes keenly
the vindication son? of us are trying to
o'ive him. This attitude la contrary to
consistency. . . , .
After further debate, participated In by
Mr. Curtis of New York. Hooker of Missis-
sippi, Kilgore of Texas and McMlllIn of
Tennessee, the house suspended considera-
tion of tho rules to pass amendments to
the urgency deficiency bill, and then ad-
journed till next Wednesday.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, Sept. 2.-The committee on
ways and means is manifesting an inten-
tion to proceed as -xpedltiously as possi-

the tariff continue to come In rapidly, and
days are being set apart for arguments on
various industries affected.
Retiring Chinese minister, Mr. Tsui Yin,
and ills successor In oflice, Mr. Yang Yu,
called on Mr. Gresham to-day. The re-
tiring minister subsequently went to the
white house with Mr. Gresham and pre
sen ted le Iters of recall to the president, and
the minister expressed to the latter the
h'.pe that nleasaut relations should con-
tinue between the two countries. Cleve-
land reiterated his good wishes.
Representative Harter of Ohio was to
have opened the debate Monday next,
speaking oil agricultural lmul-ments and
flour, but was suddenly called to Ohio to-
night.

THE DALTON GANG.
Further Particulars of the Battle in Ok-
lahoma Territory.
Arkansas City, Kan., Sept. 2.-A posse
of United States marshals and the Dalton
gang of bank and train robbers met at
Ingals, Payne county, Oklahoma, yester-
day morning. Two of the deputy marshals
—Speed and Shadley—were killed, and a
third—Huston-fatally wounded. N. A.
Walker, N. D. Murray, G. W. Ranson and
a boy named Brlggs were wounded and a
young man named Wilson killed.
Officers were Informed that the gang was
in town, drove out to arrest them and were
fired on by the outlaws when they dis-
mounted. The fire was returned and the
outlaws started for their horses. Bill Dal-
ton's horse was killed by Shadley and as
the horse fell Dalton got on his feet and
puimied four shots in rapid succession into
the body of Shadley with n -Winchester.
"Arkansas Tom," one of the outlaws, was
held at bay In a frame hotel where he
took refuge.
Messengers were sent to Stillwater for
assistance and the sheriff lett at once
with a posse for the scene. The outlaw
finally surrendered. It is thought he Is
the man who killed Deputv Marshal Speed
and the Simmons boy and wounded Mar-
shal Houston. He is now In Stillwater
Jail, guarded by a posse. There were six
men tn the gang, five of whom escaped,
but they are being followed by a large
posse.
A VICIOUS ATTACK.
Kid Wilson Tries to Murder a Fellow Pris-
oner in Jail.
Fort Smith, Ark., Sept. 2—Kid Wijson.

gang, who is confined in the United States
jail here on the charge of having partici-
pated In the Bentonville bank robbery,
tills morning made a murderous assault on
Marshall Tucker, under sentence of death
for murder, and came near killing htm.
Wilson and Tucker had a dispute last
night before being locked in their cells,
but did not come to blows. Wilson got pos-
session of a rock during the night and
tied it up in the end of a towel. When ti.e
prisoners were let out of their cells this
morning as soon as he saw Tucker he
struck him a fearful blow on the head,
laying the scalp bare and knocking him
senseless. Wilson was arraigned before the
United States commissioner and bound
over to await the grand jury.

STATE POLITICS.
World's Fair Grounds, Chicago, 111.. Sept.
2.—Catholic education day to-day w.< one
of the great events of the fair. Ther»* were
throngs of visitors besides the Catholics
of Chicago, who seemingly turned our en
mass. A not liable feature of the attend-
ance was the number of priests, sisters of
charity and other ecclesiastical organiza-
tions present in the garb of their order.
Festival hall was Jammed when the exer-
cises began, Archbishop Feehan of Chi-
cago presiding, and Bishop Spalding of
Peoria acting as (jlrector of ceremonies.
The exercises were in the nature of a pre-
lude to the big Catholic congress which be-
gins Monday.
The band opened the exorcises, after
which Archbishop Feehan delivered the
address of welcome, followed by Archbishop
Hennessey of Dubuque, whose subject was
"Catholic View of Education.'' Archbishop
Hennessey said:
"To speak of educating a man in this or
that science, in these or those branches
usually taught in our schools, with a view
only to his comfort here for a few, a very
few years, and make no other provisions
for his welfare. Is to betray a stupid, a
shameful ignorance of who he is and what
he Is. It is to deny, practically, the Immor-
tality of the soul and the supernatural or-
der, and to treat him as an animal. This
is sheer materialism. From the contagion
of such a view of education and its con-
sequences may God preserve our country.
Religious and secular education should
not be divorced; can not bo divorced with-
out detriment to both. As the separation
of the soul and the body means death and
dissolution, so th-3 separation or divorce
of religion and science will inevitably re-
sult in the corruption of the latter. The
strength of the intellect does not consist
in the extont or variety of Its knowledge.
It is somewhat like a tree. The strong th of
a tree lies not in the size of Its branches
or the abundance and freshness of its foli-
age. It consists rather in the strength of
its roots, in the depths to which they have
struck down and out into the soil that
nourishes them, in their ability to suck in
and elaborate the juices that become the
life blood of the tree and distribute it all
over, under the light and heat of heaven.
So the vigor of the intellect Is not In its
knowledge of the art? and sciences, in the
cramming of schools which, like undigested
food or excessive flesh, is injurious or de-
bilitating, but in the grasp with which it
seizes and the tenacity with which it holds

Will culture Is pre-eminently the great
work of education. Bright Intellects have
gone down to pell, a good will never.
The formation of a vigorous conscience is
the essence of education. They who, for
obvious reasons, are opposed to religious
instruction in the school and dare not deny
the duty of giving it to children some-
where say the proper places for it are the
home and the church. This is a miserable
subterfuge, an Imaginary expedient to get
rid of a difficulty by disregarding a duty.
Religious education is not given at home
nor will it be, for the excellent reason
that parents, as a rule, have neither tim)
nor inclination nor ability to give it.
As to the Sunday school, conducted by
young ladies and gentlemen, a moment's j
reflection will suffice to show how little
value it is. It Is simply ridiculous as a pro-
vision for a great work.
The best, if snot the only good done there,
is to hear a memory lesson, but the mem-
ory is not the intellect nor the intellect the
soul, and it is the soul with all its facul-
ties that is to be educated. And what is
one hour in one day out of seven? If
children of school age, say from 7 to 14,
CLE VELA ND INDORSED.
Cameron, 'l ex., Sept. 2.—The mass meet-
ing of democrats heretofore noticed In
the^e columns met at the courthouse to-
night. There was a large attendance and
the meeting was enthusiastic.
Th- foil wing resolutions were read and
unanimously adopted amid cheers:
Whereas the fortress of national democ-
racy is being openly assailed and the pclltl-
cal honor and Integrity of our great chief
executive has been defamed and maligned;
and
Whereas we believe Orover Cleveland to
be a man of superb moral courage, stand-
ing fast by the challenge of his own con-
science and the declarations of the nation-
al democratic platform of 1892, and that his
recent message to congress Is In strict ac-
cord and consonance therewith; and
Wher as we believe that he has not only
the political honor and credit of the United
States sacredly at heart, but also the fu-
ture happiness and prosperity of the great
masses of the people and that he Is in-
trepidly standing between the threatening
menace? of the so-called gold bugs in their
unholy greed to still further debase sil-
ver by demanding the further issuance of
gold bonds, and he Is in good faith loyally
trying to establish a parity between tho
two metals to the end that a silver dollar
may be as good at home or anywhere In
the world as a gold dollar; and
Whereas for the democratic party now to
prove recreant to Its traditions and trust
and desert our gallant leader, Grover Cleve-
land, and his matchless secretary of the
treasury, John G. Carlisle, is as though^an
army deserted its general on the Held of
battle.
Therefore, bidding defiance to the ene-
mies of democracy, In whatever disguise,
we stand firm pledged to tne faith of tho
utterances of the national democratic plat-
form of 1892, and we reassure the chief ex-
ecutive and the present administration of
the nation that we are with them.

claim that the party will stronger in

tions come around.
THE SHEEP DISPUTE.
Mexican Officers Arrested—The Banco Be-
longs to Texas.
Brownsville, Tex., Sept. 2.—Major Keyes
and troops from Fort Ringgold yesterday
i the disputed barco near Havana
mentioned in yesterday's ilspatch, and ai
rested the Mexican officials who were still
on the banco holding the remaining sheep.
Three thousand sheep were restored to
their ovnere. Six hundred head and the
herders are still held on the Mexican side.
Colonel Mariero, an engineering officer
of the Mexican army, to-day crossed to
this side of the river to examine the dis-
puted banco and confer with Major Keyes.
A private telegram received here to-day
states that the land where sheep were
crossed from and where the Mexican of-
l'u-i;iis were arrested by the United Ftates
foops is undisputed Texas soil. Things

education to which they have divine right
on many heads the school is the place
to give It. If anyone fond of flimsy objec-
tions should say or think that the study
of religion in school retards progress in
other studies let him go over and examine
for himself the Catholic educational ex-
hibit in the world's fair. The growth in
theJmdy ot Christ is in light, not in dark-
such will be arrested and excluded as
"sooners." Geo. A. Dodd, Captain Third

strip.
The presence of troops assures home
seekers now on the border and those who
may come yet that the United States gov-
ernment will protect every citizen in secur-
i ing his legal rights.
NOT ELIGIBLE TO STRIP LANDS.
Kansas City, Mo„ Sept. 2.—The Star's
Arkansas City special says: A great many
boomers discovered, after reading registra-
tion blanks furnished by the department,
that they werre not eligible to acquire
lands in the strip, the clause debarring
any one who owns more than 160 acres of
land from settling being the stumbling
block. On this account a large number re-
turned home.
Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia come
after Hennessy.
Archbishop Ryan said: All knowledge,
whether religious or scientific, is holy, for
God is master in the temporal as in the
spiritual Older, God of the starry firmament
as well as of the sanctuary. Education,
to be. perfect, must consider man in Ills
entirety, must call out the heart power
as well as the intellect power, and edu-
cate the great religious clement within,
, as rem as cither and partaking .of both.
! it is the vocation of th- Christian edu-
' cator by the gr jat truth t which lie teaches
to restrain human passion, and thus, by
acting on the heart of man, clarify his
Intellect and make him at once the best
scholar and the beBt citizen.
There Is more intimate connection be-
tween head and heart than the generality
of m'en imagine. The unrestrained pas-
sions of the heart send up mists from its
valleys that rest on the headlands. Men
can not see truth through the prejudices
which passion generates. It Is the sacred
office of religion to dispel 'lies, mists.
And it Is false to say that the intellectual
liberty, or rather, license of speculation,
unrestrained by any influence is conductive
to truth. Just as It is false to say that
liberty unrestrained by any command—di-
vine or human—Is truest liberty. Who has
speculated more boldly than St. Thomas
Aquinas, who has presented infidelity and
error? The men who held such opinions
were unable to express and urge tlieni
as this intellectual giant cottld do for them.
Why? Because free from the darkness of
prejudice he could see the amount of truth
mixed with their errors, and then, being
absolutely certain of the truth of religion,
he knew with the same certainty that there
could be nothing to contradict In the re-
gion of science and true philosophy. The
last man of earth to fear the progress of
scientific and philosophic Investigation is
the Catholic, and the better Catholic ho is
and the more thoroughly Instructed the
more fearless he should be.
One of the many delusions of the age is
that education of Itself Is enough to form
the moral man by elevating and refilling
our tastes. But Greece and Rome in
the days of their highest culture were
vicious to the core, elegantly vicious, if
you please, but supremely vicious. The
Sunday school, held once a week, is wholly
Insufficient and very precarious for pur-
poses of Christian education. No child
could learn aritmetic or grammar by week-
ly lesson, and yet the all Important subject
on which time and eternity depends is sup-
posed to be left to this precarious mode of
teaching. Are chastity, and honesty, and
obedience to law less important than arith-
metic and grammar? The dogmas of re-
ligion, absolutely certain and well Incul-
cated, are essential to give motive to seli-
THE GRAND ARMY.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 2.—With the
stars and stripes fluttering from every
building in the city, every street ablaze
with patriotic decorations, booming can-
non and cheers of enthusiastic citizens and
soldiers alike, the capital city of Indiana
to-day welcomed the veterans of the
grand republic and inaugurated the twenty-
seventh encampment of that organization.
To-day, naval day, the National association
i f naval veterans paraded. The headquar-
ters of the association is a model of the
famed ship Kearsarge, built in the capitol
grounds.
