THE LAW DENOUNCED.

German Catholics Bitter Against the Bennett Measure.

Tito CONVENTION AT MILWAUKEE.

Resolutions Favoring Compulsory Edu. oatlon I'mlIIr Certnln Restrictions, lJut Denying tlia State's lllglit to

Interfere with the Schools.

SOME AXIMATKD AIIIIESSI:S. MII.WAIKEK,

May 28.-Tho Roman

Catholic convention was tardy in assembling yestorday morning, owing tc tlio fact that most of the delegates were boing entertained at St. Mary's Church with a sermon from Kov. Father Buehler, of St. Francis Seminary. High mass was celebrated at tlio church at an early hour by Bishop Flasch. Father Buehler said tho Catholic faith in this country must be taught by church schools, and no Interference with the sclicols should be allowed.

The convention did not come to order until about 11 o'clock, when speeches were made by William Casper, of Milwaukee 11. .1. Spannhorst, of St. Louis Rev. Father Feldman, of Chicago, and others.

Mr. Spannhorst said tho Bennott law presented a political question that Catholics could not ignoro because it directly affectod tho welfare of their institutions.

Bishop Flasch referred to the Bennett law in bis address and upheld the right of the church to go into politlos when its Interests wero attacked.

Bishop ICatzer, of Groen Bay, took off Ills coat as if in earnest, and proceeded to attack the Bennett law in tho bitterest manner. Ho said the law practically denied the right of tlia child to obey Its parents by putting its nlalms before those of the paronta. "Tho friends of the law tell

UB,"

he said, "that tho child has rights which tho State must see is accorded it. But the parents have more intorest In the child than tho State."

The Bishop denied that Instruction in tho English language was what the German Catholics were fighting against, as charged. English is now taught in in their schools, but if the State may proscribe tho language to be taught thoir chlldron, it would soon bo telling what shall bo eaten at the family moal. Thoso laws are all of a class, whether in Wisconsin, Illinois or Massachusetts. They are an attempt at interference in personal rights. lie thon said ho had been told recently by a Mason that tho Bennett law was first agitated in the Grand Lodge of Masons of tho State of Wisconsin. The applause which followed this statement was deafening and the Bishop had, to stand fully half a minute before he could continue. In closing he urged his hearers to oppose all measures like tlie Bennott law to tho best of their ability and stand firmly by the church.

At the afternoon Suasion several committees wero appointed. Resolutions were read and referred providing lor tho establishment of a contral committee, with headquarters in Milwaukee, authorized to act in cases of omergoncy: providing for the establishment of a liigh school in Milwaukee, to bo supported by the societies, and in which children uf members shall be instructed frco of charge.

It was decided that tho State organization should hereafter have a biennial session, and La Crosse was selected as the next placo of meeting. Uustav Ivaisor, of Milwaukee, was re-elected president. Mr. llackler, of La Crosso, was chosen first vice-president and John (iottsacker, of Sheboygan, second vico-president. The otlior ofllccrs will be elected at to-day's session.

Tho constitution of tho Wisconsin Stato Association of Gorman Catholic aid sociotios was adopted as reported. Tho committee 011 resolutions thon mado its report, and the following resolutions denouncing the Bennott law unanimously adopted: "In view of the attacks against most sacred rights of parents which recently havo been begun by nativisls and adherents a! paternalism we arc compelled to presout to the peoplo of this State the following declaration: "Uy device aud uatural law parents are entitled and In duty bound to prOvidn for the education of their children. Therefore we claim for parents the rlplit to select such sobools lor the education of their chlldron which, they arc convinced, will best proinoto the welfare of their children. "In oase parents neglect thlB duty the State is Justified in compelling them by appropriate legislation to discharge their duty. The Stato may also, when the parents are unable to provide for tho education or their children, assume this duty. "From this results: The Justification of compulsory school attendanco under the abovementioned conditions the necessity of public schools the right of general taxation for their support. "We declare that wo make no claim upon the public school for the support of parochial and other private, schools, but as citizens and laxpayers we Insist on our lull's—even at the risk of being decried as enemies of the public schools —to protest against nny misuse and every waste of thi* funtl. "As we make tio claims on the support of the State for our parochial and private schools, we deny the State tho right to exorcise any control over our sehoo's we only then grant It the right of Interference with the management of private schools It these'coUidc with public order or the laws of morals. "Because the so-called nennctt law violates the above-mentioned principles and unnecessarily nnd unjustly curtulls our religions liberty we hereby declare ourselves for the unconditional repeal of the law. Whatever good there Is contained in tills law has been long ago ollered by other laws, and therefore we can not recognize from It any other Intention but this: To compel citizens who provide for the education of their children to adopt moth-da of those who hnte their religion and nationality. "Wo therefore also declare that, without ro gard to former party connections, we will only Tote for such candidates as pledge themselves to work for the repeal of the law."

The mass-mooting at night, hold under the auspices of tho German Catholic societies, was attended by a throng which packed tho Academy of Music. Fivo speeches were made in German and one in English, and all wero frequently interrupted by applause from tlio big audience. Every speaker voiced the sentiment that tho Stato had r.o right to interfere tyith the church schools in any way.

At the conclusion of tho' speeches a sotof resolutions were read and adopted. They send greeting to the Tope and assure him of the fidelity and faithfulness of the members of the Gorman Catholic societies of Wisconsin, and add that tho members also know the duty they owo their country. They are willing to mako any Bucriflco for tlioir country, say tho resolutions, but they declare that tho State bas no right to attack personal llborty. They therefore demand that liberty of conscienco bo maintained and that thoy be allowed to educate their children as they see fit.

Mr. Flower, (N. Y.) introduced in tho House a joint resolution making an appropriation in aid of tho erection of a National monument or memorial to Genera! Grant at Riverside Park in New York City.

WASHINGTON,

May 28.—Tho Senate

yestorday resinned consideration of the bill subjecting importod liquors to tho provisions of the laws of the several States, the question being on tho substitute reported from tho judiciary committee, providing that liquors so transported shall (when their actual and sontinuous transportation shall havo terminated) bo considered to havo leased to be the subjects of commerce with foreign nations and among the leveral States, and shall bo a part of the common mass of property within tho State and be subject to its polioo regulations. Senator Georgo (Miss.) argued 011 the constitutional points Involved and gave his support to tho bill.

Senator Coke (Tex.) argued against the constitutional right of Congress to ielegate its delegated powers back to tho States.

Senator Eustis (La.) said tbat the question prosentod by tho bill under discussion was a very perplexing one. On the one band largo property interests were represented, and on tho other band there was encountered a strong moral sentiment in one or two, or more, States,

I111,5

'I".',. '11 t'.Vv.V-v-.^icuity

tKo tyftcstion arose In tlie attempt to reconcile the conflict between tho rights of property, under the constitution and laws, nnd that moral sentiment known as prohibition.

To-day it was proposed to legislate against tho breweries of Milwaukee and of St. Louis and against tho distilleries of Kentucky, North Carolina and Illinois. Ho continued: "It is proposed to tell the people of Iowa that thejf shall ha\ethe power to regulnto commerce bettveen themselves and all the other States on tho liquor question. To-morrow they will bo asking tor tbo exclusion of cottonseed oil, of which the State of Louisiana produced a large amount in value. Then they will lie asking that dressed beef from Illinois and tobacco from North Carolina should not be considered an article of commerce within the meaning of tho constltu tion and thus power would bo given to each State to build on Its exterior limits an lmpene trablc wall thai should exclude the product of every foreign country and of every other State."

Tbo pending bill could not become a law with tho aid of his vote. He was a States' rights Democrat of tho strictest sect and was In favor of tho States exercising to an unlimited extent tho rights which they had reserved. But tho powors which they had lodged In the Federal Government, and lodged wisely, he wanted the Federal Government to exercise exclusively.

After further debate tho bill went over without action, Sonator Wilson (la.) giving notice that he would ask tho Senate to remain in session to-day until the bill was disposed of.

Tho Vice-President announced the appointment of Senator Blackburn (Ky.) as a member of tho committoo on appropriations, and of Senator Carlisle (Ify.) as a member of the conunittoos on finance, Territories and woman's suffrage.

T11K I!AL'TI STS.

CHICAGO,

May 28. —Following tho lead

of the Methodist General Conference, the Baptists of the United States have formally committed themselves in favor of the prohibition of the manufacture and salo of intoxicating liquors.

At Tuesday's meeting of tho American Baptist Home Mission Society, at which 1,307 delegates and :'.I0 life members were present, the report of the committee on temperance was read by Rev. Dr. Delano. lie said thoro had been "a strugglo in tho committoo in which high license, low license, prohibit tion and third party had been freely discussed," and, as tho chairman was regarded as being a conservative, a compromise was effected by giving him a ruling voico in the framing of the report. The report declared the saloon to bo a menace to the church und to society and subversive of good government: tbat it could not bo reformed and was thorough-un-American and intolerable, he report deplored the recent doclslon of tho United States Supremo Court in the "original package" case, and oxpressed the hope that Congress would meet the exigency of tho occasion In such a way "that tho lust estate of the saloon should bo worse than tho first:" it ikslted "Christians to vote to overthrow the power of tho saloon." "Mr. Brown, of Iowa, wantodjotho words "liquor traffic-' substituted for "saloon," and I10 carried his point promptly, which encouraged Rev. Dr.

Fletcher, of Illinois, to inquire whether or not the language of the report relative to the decision implied censure of tho Supremo Court Tlio presiding oQlcer said this convention was passing upon morality and not upon law.

Dr. Fletcher pressed bis query, and a member of tbe committee said they did deplore tho action of tha court and agreed with Justice Gray and others who dissented frem the opinion. Dr. Fletcher then emphatically said he was not propared to voto for tho report. He did not believe tho convention could fairly pass upon tho logallty of a doclslon rendered by tho highest judicial tribunal In tho land, and lie would not give bis voice to tbo Indorsement of a resolution which pretended to do so.

An adjustment of the difference was speedily effected, when an amendmont was mado to make the resolution rend that "tho church deplored tho situation occasioned by tho Supremo Court decision on prohibitory legislation," and the report, was adopted.

At tho meriting sossiou Rev. II.

V- ^. 2

F. Colby, of Ohio, spoke he the stato of tho mission work in Mexico. Ho said tho onetny the mission workers had to contend with was not tho lgnoranco or poverty of the people, but the opposition of tho Roman Catholic, church.

Uov. John O. Foster, a Methodist minister, bearing the greetings of the ministers of that denomination in Chicago, spoke next. Ho assured tbo Baptists that their Methodist brethren were with them hand and hoart in their grapple with tho powers of rum and Romanism.

Tho exercises of tho morning concluded with an address011 church building by Rev. Mr. Moiom and the election of the following officers:

President, C. W. Klngslny, Hoston VlcoPresidents, K. Nelson IUHUC. Boston H. K. Porter, Philadelphia Treasurer, J. Greenwood Snelllnu, Now York: Auditors, Joseph Brokaw and William A.

A resolution was adopted indorsing tho League for the Protection of American Institutions and opposing any appropriations in aid of any church, society or school wholly or in part under sectarian control.

Rov. Dr. Nelson, of Michigan, prosented the report of tho committeo on lotteries, commending tho good people of North Dakota who opposed the establishment of a lottery in that State and condemning lotteries generally.

A meeting of the executive committee of tbe American Baptist Education Society was held in tho Auditorium Hotel Monday night. Rev. T. W.
