DENOMINATIONAL. SCHOOLS

Bishop Keane Forcibly Upholds Catholic Methods of Teacliins Children. An Intellectual Plea for the Multiplication of Christian Schools, Which Is Vigorously Replied to tj Edwin D. Head, of Boston. Nashville, .July .17.' Tho feature of to-. day's discussion before 'the National Educational Association was the discoseion on denominational schools, partici-; pated in by Bishop J. J; Keane, rector of the Catholio University at Washington, and Edwin D. Mead, of Boston. Bishop! Keane was the first speaker. He said? "The glory of a Christian nation is not in its ability to surpass all aroand in martial prowess and in the returns of trade, but in ; the intelligence, the morality, the comfort Ann rnn(ntmant rf it. iwnnlA. A Sf.hrtnl 1 t not made a Christian school by taking up a pre at deal of time in doctrinal instruction or in devotional exercises, which .would otherwise "be upent in acquiring secular knowledge. What above all makes it a Christian school are the moral atmosphere, the general tone, the surrounding objects, "the character of the teachers, the constant endeavor, the loving tact, the gentle skill, by which the light and the spirit of Christianity, its lessons for the lead, for the heart, for the whole character, are made to pervade and animate the -whole school life of the child, just as the good parent desires) that they should animate his -whole future life, in all his mani fold duties and relations as a man and as a citizen. The intelligent Christian parent knows well that what ought to be true of very nationality within the pale of Christian civilization is pre-eminently true of ours, that the best Christian is sure to bo the best American, and the school which aims at sending forth its child a model Christian in equal degrees tends to send liim forth a model American. "Our. country indeed, should tyrannize over no one's conscience, but she herself onght to be consistently, fearlessly, always Christian. But Christian civilization has for its natural foundation Christian homes and Christian schools. Again, therefore, a good Christian American parent, if he is true to his principles, will be sure to choose for his child a good Christian American school. Suspicions, antagonisms, animosities ought nover to bo instilled in any Christian church; and, if they are, that church has not the spirit of Christ in it and ought to be deserted. Do you suppose that it was in any public undenominational schools that Washington and the founders of our liberties, our models of patriotism were rearedl And do you suppose that there will be a Christian denomination in all this land that will not vie with each other in inculcating dovotedness to our country, to her liberties, to her institutions? The supposition is contrary to all existing facts and to all good sense. So away with it. "It may be said, 'is not the Catholic . Church at least committed to the Christianity of Ilildebrand and of the middle ages; and is it not, therefore, antagonistic to the Christianity of the nineteenth century!' In the name of the Catholic Church I answer that she is committed neither to Ilildebrand and the middle ages, nor to the policy of any man or of any ago whatsoever, because ehe is for all men, and, therefore, for all ages acdforall forms of social conditions. A distinguished orator of our day has truly declared that the civilization and prosperity of our country depend on its Christianity, and that its Christianity depends on education. Hut alas! how iUogically he concluded from these premises that, therefore, the welfare of our country was to be safeguarded by a system of education in which it is not permissible to teach Christianity. Surely tho logical conclusion from such evident premises is that the prosperity and civilization of our country depend on Christian education. Look now at the people of our country, and we see them divided into two classes. On the one side the Catholio Church emphatically declares for Christian education, and with us side all those non-Catholics, whatever may be their denomination, who believe in Christian schools, and in them are giving their children an education leavened and animated bv Christianity. tlr nTirtAratnnil it. On the other side are the upholders and advocates of a national system of schools, in which Christian truth and duty cannot bo taught. Can any one in his senses hesitate which of these two sides is for the real welfare of our country! We must cling to this sacred cause and uphold it at any cost. We must multiply and perfect Christian schools till all our children and all our youth can have, in fullest abundance, all the blessed intellectual and moral advantages which are the essential condition of Christian civilization. We must stop at no difficulties; we must count no cost. At any cost tho work must and shall go on, for .we are called to it both by love of God and love of country." Edwin D. Mead, of Boston, replied to Bishop Keane, and stated that the parochial school has no proper place in the system of American instruction. The speaker quoted from an English Catholic dictionary, propared by Thomas Arnold, the 6on of the peat master of Rugby, the brother of Mathew Arnold, and the father of Mrs. Ward, the author of Robert Elsmere. He said: "In an article on education in this dictionary, the author said that as man is a complex being, so his education must have several ends. The prime end is religious, and the Catholic holds that man must seek religious knowledge at the hands of the only divinely-appointed church, and that this is the highest authority in education. The state may reasonably require that its citizens should receive such training as may restrain anti-social passions and promote public welfare; but the end Pursued by the church is primary; that pursued by tho state is secondary. The religious authority is the greater, as man's eternal interest is of more importance than his temporal. The third authority is that of the family, parents being under obligation to educate their children in the ways of decency, of dignity and thrift." The speaker approved this article in so far as it declared character to be the principal thing. The speaker also commended the boldness and honesty with which the article declared the highest Authority in education to be the church, but said "the conflict in America is between the church and state." It was not bold, not honest in Cardinal Manning, in his recent article, to represent the conriict as between the 6tate and family. The sneaker quoted largely from Cardinal Manning's article, which, he said, attempted to represent the public school as a coercion, and an interference with family rights and liberty of conscience. The whole policy of the Roman Catholio Church in establishing parochial schools in this country rests upon this coercion. The speaker quoted Bishop Gilmour, Bishop Ryan and others hih iu the Catholio Chnrch to support his statement that priests were authorized to refuse tho sacrinient to any of their people, who. having Catholic schools withtu reach, refused to send their children to them. This coercion is not proper in America, and cannot be permitted here. The great Roman Catholio masses, to whom this thing is hateful who are by a vast majority to-day the stanch and grateful supporters of tho public school, and towhich they andtheirchildrcn owe so much, are entitled, because they are American citizens, as well as members of the Roman Catholic Church, to bo freed from this coercion. The Roman Catholio school does have the same place in America as the Episcopal school or auy private school tho right to open its doors, to make itself as attractive as possible, and to invite to it anybody that it will. It has the full right to criticise the public school, but it must not threaten; it must not coerce; that is not proper, and that will not be permitted in America. "No knoweledge is :odless." Work and prayer go hand in land; but there is time for work and time for prayer, and thero is time for arithmetic and time for catechism. Thero is nothing in our American public school that militates against the best form of religion. 1 he parochial school can never give anything else than a parochial education. In conclusion, an appeal was made for a higher viflw of the state. Mr. Mead's address was received with treat applause, and at its closo the Right Rov. Bishop Keane was called to respond. The Bishop defended Cardinal Manning rem what he characterized as the unjust criticism of Mr. Mead. He also stated that Fopo Leo XIII was moving along with the uigijcav iiucs u me oroaaest education in placing the church above the state. The Eiifcop taid whenever we have a Christian

civilization we must have for its basis Christian education, and it can only be given by making our schools more Christian than they are. without coercion, or clap-trap, actuated solely- by common-sense principles. Let ns nail to onr masthead tho banner of Christian education, and 6oar on under its guidance to that blessed destiny, the most sublime God ever gave to a nation the destiny of our American Republic. Amid long-continued applause the Bishop resumed his seat, and the meeting adjourned. . William A. Mowry. Ph. IX, of Boston, advocated a national university, to bo established at Washington, D. C, its faculty to be independent of politics, and bo subject to removal only after trial and impeachment by the Supreme Court. A government endowment of 200,000,000 was recommended, entailing a tax one-third of 1 per cent, on the speaker's estimate of the Nation's wealth in l&M. The educational progress of the colored Ieonle in the South was presented by John I. Burrus, of Rodney, Miss. He said the race was entitled to great credit for the material progress theyXJiad made in the past twenty-live years. They own and publish 250 newspapers and one magazine. Valuable inventions in many useful arts and manufactures have been made and patents issued to the negro inventors. Their progress warrants the fullest confidence in their future.

LABOR AND ITS PROBLEMS

Mr.rowderly Says the K. of L. Will Turn Its Attention to Educational Efforts. Its Members to Be Taught the Value of the Bal lot as a Remedial Agent to Bisht Existing "Wrongs Big Federation Proposed. Chicago, July 17. General Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, and his coadjutors, Holland, Hayes, Devlin and Costello, got fairly down to business at the Sherman House headquarters to-day, and made considerable progress in examining complaints, petitions and reports in relation to tho order in the West. 4The charter of the first assembly of France," said Mr. Powderly to a reporter, "was prepared this morning, and started on its way to the old country. It .was given to Mrs. Barry, the general directorand instructor in woman's work, and ehe started for Philadelphia, from whence she starts for Paris. Tho first assembly has been organized, for some time, but we have held back tho charter, preferring to send it by a special messenger.? Is anything being done, or will anything l)e done by your board to bring back the 6eceding members of the Knights of Labor who have organized a rival order!" ' '0h, no; wo do not want them back. We aro stronger without them. They formed tho disturbing element in the order, and we are glad to have them go. They were hostile to the principles of the Knights of Labor. Now that they are out, we have no hostile feelings towards them and are perfectly satisfied to have them succeed. It is not our purpose, to do tem any injury." Then there was a general running talk on the course to be pursued by the order to solve the problem of labor troubles, and it developed that no single lino .will be followed out, but a series of educational efforts, the most important of which is ballot reform. "That something of this kind is necessary can bo seen by the state of affairs in Pennsylvania," said Mr. Powderly. "There in the coal-lields the laborer is under tho grind of tho mill-stones. Every effort has been made to convince him that his remedy is in his own hands at tho polls, but when election day' comes ho walks up and votes as usual for the old parties and for men who go to Congress and sell out. Theso laborers cannot plead ignorance. Every man over eighteen years of age has had a chanco to post himself, and why is it that he votes against his own interests? It is a question easy of solution to the thinker and reader of to-day. and the only remedy is the secret ballot, where tho. citizen can vote without fearing to express his own feelings and bring misery upou himself by his vote. Several bills have been prepared for the development of this theor but not ono of tnem covers tne requirements, it is oniy a pretense so far. "Another lesson in tho Knights of Labor school will be the.teachiug of the members in regard to somo reformed socialistic theoriesthat the coal fields belong to the government, for -instance, and should be onerated bvtho Government without profit: or lease the lands to firms which shall contine their operations steadily, a lockout or. a shut-down to result in a lorleituro ot tho lea so " It was decided by the executive board that the next general executive session of tho Knights would.; be at Atlanta, com mencing on the second luesday in November. ; Mr. Powderlv vraa asked about tho ioint circular issued some months ago signed by themastcrsof the different labor organizations calling on the members to work in harmony, and declaring that the interests of all were common. "We did issue such a circular in March," he said, "but it did not in any sense look toward a fusion of all tho bodies into one organization, as I have heard intimated. It will not be referred to in this meeting." A Formidable Organization of Labor-, Chicago, July 17. A local paper sa3rs: A circular has been issued that bears the signatures of the chief officers of tho princi pal labor organizations of the United States T. V. Powderly, general' master workman, and John W. Hayes, general sec retary, of the Knights of Labor; Samuel Gompers, president of the . Federation . of Labor; W. N. Sargent; chief of the Brother hood of LocomoVive Firemen., and. others. The locomotive engineers, through P. M. ; Armur, xrue io xneir principle or exciusiveness and antagonism toother labor organ izations, have kept out of this concerted action of the others, and thereby heightened the bitter - feeling, existing against them among other trades. The circular is the outcome of a conference held some timo ago in Philadelphia, the object being the formation of an alliance between the orf anizations represented by the signatures, t has been issned nrivateiv to th nrcrnnization. and is not sunnosed to be known to the public If -the alliance is realized it will be by far the most formidable labor organization that ever existed in the United States or elsewhere. The circular calls upon all organizations of labor to strengthen and solidify their ranks, to the ultima to end of bringing within their membership every man anu woman m America who toils. A convention of delegates is to be called, if tho various organizations approve of the plan, for the purpose of devising someuonmie scneme ot coauxion. Complaints of the Bmldwood Miners. La Salle, 111., July 17. The investiga tion of tho coal-mining difficulties hero yesterday developed a bad state of affairs ot Braid wood cn the part of tho miners, who endure all the evils of the truck-store system and are hampered in their work at somfr of the mines by reason of not being adequately supplied with timber for propping up the roof, contrary to the Stato mining law. thereby putting their lives in jeopardy. The coal cars, according to the testimony, were not properly constructed, so that much coal felloff while being hauled to the mouth of tho mine, all of which is confiscated by tho company, and which some days aggregates upward of twenty-, five tons. Tne mines are very wet, and the miners had their clothes constantly soaked. Often the air is insufficient and bad. Complaints from Braceville and Streator were not so great, aimers' wages averaged only $27 to $o0 a month, with deductions for notrder. repairing tools, etc.. of several' dollars each month. L. 11. Plumb, a Streator operator, found competition so sharp that he said he saw little hope for the northern Illinois operators. JIo had submitted his case to a board of Arbitration. If he could not operate his mine at tne rate of wages awarded, ne would close it. If the miners could not work for the wages that might bo named they wero to do unuer uo ouuguoun 10 uo bo. Italian Miners Refuse toJLet others Work. Kankakee, 111.,. July 17. The eherift of Kankakee county has placed deputies at Clarke City and Tracy to protect the Tay lor Williams coal shafts from tho Italians, who have threatened to burn them, and also to protect the miners who desire to go to work on the terms offered. Tho En glish and Irish miners desire to go to work at tho pay offered, which was &3 rerdav. and in caso they mined enough coal at t5 cents a ton to exceed this amount they wero to have the excess, but the Italians will not agree to this, and by threats prevent other miners from working.

The Marxists have declined to amalgamate with the Labor Congress unless they aro received unconditionally. At to-day's session o: the Labor Congress, Mr. Bowen, a representative of the Knights of Labor, dwelt upon the difficulties encountered on the work of organization in America, owing xo tne continual miiux oi immigrants. He urged that misrepresentations by emigrant agents ought to subject them to severe penalties. The workingmen of Europe, he said, would win the sympathy and support of Americans if they would take up the question of emigration. FUnt-Glass-Workers Bellaire." O.. July 17.

These rones were fastened to the bar above the window, and were just 6umcieniiy long to anow tne cross to no horizontally upon the floor of the apart ment Having finished these preparations, he next put on his crown of thorns. some of which entered his forehead: then, Jiaving stripped naked, he gil ded his loins with a white handkerchicL lie then introduced himself into the net. and. seatting himself on the cross, drove a nail thronghthe palm of his right hand by strik ing us nead upon tne noor until the point appeared on the other side. He now placed his feet upon a bracket he had prepared for them, and with a mallet drove a nail completely through themboth. fastening them to the wood. He next tied himself to the cross by a Piece of cord around his waist, and wounded himself in the side with a knife, which he used in his trade. The wound was inflicted two inches below the hvpochondnum. toward the in ternal angle ot tne abdominal cavity, but aid not injure any or tne parts which tho cavity contains. Several scratches were observed upon hisbreast which appeared to bave been done bv the knife in probing for a place which should present no obstruction. The knife represented the spear of the passion. AU this he accompiisned in the interior of his apartment. but it was necessary to 6how himself in public, lo accomplish this he had placed the foot of tho cross upon the window-sill. which was very low, and by pressing his fingers against the floor he gradually drew himself forward until: the foot of the cross overbalanced the head, the whole machine tilted out of the window and hung by tho ropes, which were fasted to the beam. He then, bv wav of linishlntr. nailed his right hand to the arm of the cross, but could not succeed in faxing the left, al though the nail by which it was to have been fixed was driven through it and half of it came out on the other side. This hap pened at 8 o'clock in the morning. Some persons by whom he was perceived ran up stairs, disengaged him from the cross and pnt niui to bed. By medical care his wounds ultimately healed, but he was ever atterwaru morose and singular. ABOUT WAITER GIRLS. A Dyspeptic Bachelor Complains that They Are Incompetent. Philadelphia Inquirer. An angry looking young man came out of a dining-room the other day, and, meeting a inena in the vicinity, told him of his experience in getting something to eat. "Five minutes ago," saidthe angry man, I would have given a dollar for the privilege of using pome double-rivet "cuss-words. That dining-room I Just came from has women as waiters.

girl flew back to the kichen. ' I got. tired waiting for her to reappear, to I told the hnss what I had. 'Where's your checkr7 said he. 'I asked for one live minutes ago". I re plied, "but tho lady has gone otf somewhere." ' "Well," said the proprietor, making no effort to give me my change, "she ought to be more careful." "Look here,14 said I, "life's too short. X can't stay here all night." Then, after lookine at me as if I were crooked, the boss handed me my change. Of course, every, customer eyed me, and I suppose they thought I was trying to cheat the house. TbaVs the time I wanted to use strong lan guage. "1 he main reason they hire girls instead of men it o act as a waitressess in most places," continued the man, "is because they can get them cheaper. Bome folks think they draw custom. They do. I know a young chap who used to spend 5 cents a day for pie so he could talk to his mash as he called the young lady who presided at that table. I don't know how many customers left that place in disgust, though, at having to listen to that silly boy's talk. "Young women look upon all situations as merely temporary. Kvery one of them expects to .get married, but few of them would bo ns careful as a certain girl who was new at the business. She used to wait upon an elderly; gentleman, and she never spilled his tea into the sancer. Well, I heard that- ho finally married her, as he was convinced that a careful person like that would make a good wife. "I like to see enterprising young women get along," continued the bachelor, "but to ave to suffer from the annoyances of the average table-girl is enough to drive a fellow into matrimony.". , , mtm i THE RAILWAY GUIDE. A Special and Rare Talent Needed for the Comprehension of Its Mysteries. Boa ton Transcript. The Listener supposes that the railroad guides that are furnished us are as clear aud comprehensible as human ingenuity can make them, and yet it is a perfectly plain fact that not one person out of tweuty can make anything out of one without assistance. The train that one is looking for must be hunted out of a dozen upright columns of closely-printed small ngures and letters, which appear to be simply a mass of "A.M.'s" and "JP. M.V that aro continually changing place, of stars, daggers and unction marks. Half the train appear to be "leave-arrive" trains, and. the other half "arrive-leavc" trains, l Of course, if one knows whether his train Is an "arrive-leave" train or a "leave-arrive" train, he is all right; if he does not, he is apt to become coufusod. The trains on one side of the column of the names of stations may be read in an ordinary sitting posture; but in order to make anj'tning out of thoso on the other side of the column, the simplest way is to stand on one's head, which brines them all right. Then when one thinks no has mastered a general idea . of the scheme, he is sure to come upon somo railroad's own particular and private timetable which completely reverses the rule, and then the thing nas to be learned all over again. And when ono has hit the key at last, and fonnd his train, and traced it triumphantlv from station to station to its destination, what a crnel shock it. gives one's overwrought nerves to find out that it gets there some hours before it has started! There are, to be sure, exceptional persons who seem to possess a sort of sixth sense, which may be called the Tail-road-guide faculty. The way they gallop through one of these perplexing volumes ia a most beautiful and inspiring sight. This special faculty on the part of certain people suggests a great thought. Why not have the faculty developed by a course of instruction in railroad guides in the publio schools? The guide is such a necessity nowadays, and the a chool children have so little to do.
