CORRIGAN'S ALLEGED PLOT

Rev. John Conway Handles Ireland's and&Uolli's Enemies Without Gloves. He Confirms tbe Statement that thXRw York Archbishop.Throush Ui3 Secretary, Is Engaged in a Conspracy. Statement from Father Lavelle, Who Evidently Speaks for Ugr.Corrian. An Inquiry Bnn Ij the Pore That May Bring Hatters to a Crisi3Fanhf r Explauation by Doctor McGljon. CORRIGAN SCOItED. Father Coowaj, Archbishop Ireland's Friend, Attacks t!it New York Prelat. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 8. Archbiohoo Ireland would" not talk to-day ahont tbo etory that bo had forwarded charges to the Pope that Archbishop Corriaan and others had organized a conspiracy for the overthrow of Mgr. Satolll and himself. Ho bad read the story, but would eay nothing about it. However, He v. John Conway, editor of tho Northwestern Chronicle, who stands nearest Archbishop Ireland of all ecclesiastics in the Northwest, bad not been able to set away last night onhis'rlp to Englaud in the interest of the raw Hill Catholic College here, and this evenipjz he made the following statement: The news from Chicago regarding a conspiracy against Archbishop fcatolll and Ireland has been received at tit. Paul with much surprise, Many will doubtless be astonished at it. Most people will be. except the conspirators themselves and those who follow ecclesiastical questions very closely. Journalists who are directly interested iu church matters knew by journalistic intuition that a conspiracy was beinic hatched. Tbe people at large heard rumblintf noises, but tbey never dreamed such a plan was concocted. The libulons Iiamphlet wntten by Archbishop Cornwall's taliAn secretary, the eflneions of Mi is Kadea. a garrulous old maid, who is Human correspondent of the New York Catholic News, the dispatcher purporting to have comu from lioston and other cities outside of Now York, yet all bavin.- the same purpose; the plethora of anonnous letters published in tbe New York bun and other papers, pointed clearly to the existence of a conspiracy against the representative of the Holy Father. The Chicago I'oat has done great service to Christianity and tho country by unearthing the arch-conspirator, borne scandal, as well as great good, will follow from the revelations of the Pont, but the clumsy catilinism of tbe Xew York dignitary is directly responsible for tbe scandal, while the country will be immensely boneiited by tho wholtfome harmony between Catholics and non-Catholics, which mast now be intensified by reason of tbe knowledge given to tbe publio by the Chicago newspaper. "The American people see in this an additional continuation of Pope Leo's friendshin and of his admiration of American institutions. This friendship ami admiration have been well set forth by the Pope's representative, Mscr. batolli. Tho anonymous writers of the cabalistic bureau will probably now ceuse. Thy are reasonably suspected, and no honorable newspaper will publish any more ot their turbulent lucubrations. I don't see how a newspaper can eoutinue to publish such silly letters, of which the wholo country is heartily sick, without laying itself open to imputations of briberv. Nor am I littlo surprised that some few newspapers of - high fttaiidinsr. iiae tho New York nn. shonldhave thrown open their columns to these anonymous disturbers. TlTe New York Sun ia the chief ottender in the way mentioned, and its unprincipled course has made it lose caste among journalits, and, indeed, among all honorable- men. There is such a thing as honorable warfare. A newspaper, uninfluenced by other considerations than those of good journalism, would not torture its readers with such letters; a nowspaper, moved by motives of honor, would, at least, insist upon publishing the names of the writers. 1 notice that tho Sun of Jan. 7 gives an extract from a letter said to have been received in New York from ahigh ecclesiastic in Komo, and referring to Archbishop batolli's mission. One need not be gifted with omniscience to know that the socalled Roman letter is the work of the. New York bureau. Mgr. Satolli is here for more purposes than the settlement of ecclesiastical questions. Ho is the representative of Pope Leo at tho Colombian exposition. As such the most cordial courtesy was extended to him on his arrival in the United States. America was naturally grateful to tho Pope for his practical interest in the Columbian exposition, and her gratitude was naturally deeped by the Hoiy Father's unproceilentca act of sending over a Vatican exhibit. Now, the United States does not mean to allow anyone to insult her guests, arm this country resents tbe gratuitous annoyance ottered by anonymous conspirators to ono who is at present the recipient of her hospitality. It in not pleasant to have to speak strongly against any one, so it is decidedly disagreeable to be plain spoken against a few individuals who happen to be members of one's own church. If these few conspirators don't now keep quiet I see nothing left except a choice between locking them up in a lunatic asylum or suppressing them as a public nntsance.' "I have just seen tho Chioago Post. As to the statement that Archbishop Ireland has preferred charges in Koine there i no necessity for his doing so, because Koine's representative is here in tho person of Archbishop Satolll. Moreover, he has just learned tho clear evidence from tho Pot npon which charges could be based.1' Further than this statement from Dr. Conway nothing could be had to-night, but there is good reason for believing that no ouch charges have been formally preferred. F ATI IKK LAVELLE SPEAKS. lie Says Archbishop Corrlgait Has Accorded Flr Treatment to Satolll. New York, Jan. 8. Archbishop Corrigou refused to-day to discuss the published statement that Archbishop Ireland bad tent charges to Koine accusing the New York prelate of conspiring with Father Michael Joseph Lavellc, rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, and others, to defeat Mgr. Satolli'a mission to this country and to injure Archbishop Ireland. Tho Archbishop said that he declined to discuss any such questions in the newspapers, and that if any charges had been preferred against him at Komo It would bo time enough to consider tbem when he bad received othcial notice of their existence. Father Lavello dictated the following statement: "With regard to tho article I have only this to say on my part at present: "First Archbishop Corrigan and bishops, priests and people who believe with him in this controversy, yield to no mn ia the world in point of respect and loyalty to the Holy See, and to its accepted representative. Mgr. satolli. "Second I naid to a reporter a few evenings au'o. entirely on my own responsibility, that 1 honed the Archbishop would not take the trouble to deny the absurd statements published from day to day reKardins his action and disposition npon this subject. Ure he to do r n ho would lind little tim,j tir any other work. Hesides, he would accomplish iIO goyd thereby, since everyone who knows him is aware of his perfect devotion to tho Holy See. As an example of wh-it I mean, tako the statement of some days nt:o, tiat the Archbiahoo had treated Mgr. Satolll disrespectfully -n the night of his arrival in this c ountry. Thu t niht wo all assembled in front of the oi pha.ii asylum to inspect tho electric parade which did not reach us until ni!r 1 12 o'clock. I was present with bund ed of others when Mitr. Satolti and Ir. O'ConucIl i.rrived. V aw the Archbishop idler the pipl delegate hi own ch iir and then a chair alongside of himself n the platform. Mgr. Satolll dei-:ind both honors, and ir.Mstnl on taking u at on tr.e Archbishops right step lower down. Nothing could

havo been more courteous than their greeting, and yet tho statement in the papers declared that Archbishop Corrigan placed tho deieirato at his feet and elevated a mission

ary to the negroes to the post of honor by his side. Yon see what anyone would gain by denying this statement, or what time he would huvo to spare did he undertake to reply to everything of this kind that appears. 'Thirdly Supposing Archbishop Corrigan had (which you' must not take lor grunnted. and I don't believe is true) used the press for the purpose of upholding his side of the controversy, could it be possible that our friends with broad American ideas would lind fault with him for doing what they themselves are reputed to be practicing every day, and to nave been practicing for others!'7 Father Lavelle added that this statement must alsoBufiico for Father Ferantti. Archbishop Corrigan's Italian secretary, who was accos-d of writing a pamphlet inimical to Archbishop Ireland. SIcQnald Doesn't Uelirve It. Rochester, N. Y., Jan. a I don't believe he has," said Biihop McQuaid when asked his opinion of tbo allegation that Bishop Ireland had appealed to Home. 'Yoa may say.'7 continued the Bishop, "that the Bishop of Kochester has heard of no charges to be brought to the attention of tho Holy Father asainstthe Archbishop of New York nud that he does not believe that the Archbishop of st, Paul has so far lost his head as to do anything of the kind. It is all nonsense; there is no truth in it whatever, and it is gotten up for effect merely. The fact is eimoly that the Archbishops of New York and St. Paul havo different views on the school question. We are netting on fairly well, and tho time will yet come, though not in this generation for this affair of Archbishop Ireland. has set us back a good ways, but the tttno will surely comowhen we shall have our rights." 3Ir. Satolll Is Silent. Washington, Jan. a Mgr. Satolli remained in Washington to-day and did not go to New York to take part in tho feast of St. Acnes, as it was stated both be and Archbishop Corrigan would officiate. Mgr. Satolli absolutely declined to say anything on tbo Cnrrigun-Irelaud publication, holdingthatit would be improper for him to do so. LEO WILL. INVESTIGATE. The Pope Wants to Know the Extent of the Opposition to tl SHtolli Mis-tlou. Rome, Jan. 8. The Vatican has caused an inquiry to be made into the extent of the opposition to tho Satolll mission. The Pope holds absolutely to bis policy that ecclesiastical affairs in tho United States shall develop themselves along moderate lines and in a spirit of harmony with the institutions of tho United States. From official sources a correspondent learns that all the archbishops who took part in the Now York conference have affirmed the fourteen scholastic proposals which Mgr. Satolli placed before them in thenamoof tho Pope. There is no longer doubt that a formal agreement has been signed oetween France and Kussia. Tbe Holy See has been confidentially informed that Signer Kessman, the Italian embassador at Paris, worked upon all the leading Republicans to hinder tho Kusso-French alliance, and to break the present friendly relations between France and the Vatican. Ho especially aimed at a rupture between President Carnot and the i'ope, who tried to enlint the support of the Freemasons. With the Opportunists und Radicals Signor Kessman used arguments which appealed to them as Liberal sectarians. To the moderate Republicans ho set forth the incompatibility of French civilization with the autocracy of tho Czar. The Popu was apprised of the danger of these iutrignes, aud gave instructions to the nuncio, who warned the Czar's representative, who had resumed diplomatic work. These instructions were first give-n in aud had a special resnlt in the Cronstadt manifestations. Thank to the papal and other influences, the situation has at last been determiued and crystallized in a formal agreement. Tbo friendly relations between the papacy and Kussia are more intimate than ever. The Pope has caused instructions to be sent to the Polish hierarchy not to encourage any opposition to Kussia. Tho Pope is convinced that tho now year brings a decisive crisis on tho continent. His address to tho cardinals retleots his keen preoccupation with tho political situation, and he holds himself ready to make an appeal to the nations when tbe day of complications shall come. He is finishing at this moment an encyclical on the perils of the situation in Europe, but its publication will depend upon eventualities. The monarchist teroups and other opponents of the papal policy towards France take advantage of the Panama scandals to unre the I'ope to retract his steps or, at all events, to use the greatest reserve toward the roDublic. Tho I'ope not only remains indexible as to his attitude toward the republican government, but basdeclared that the Panama nllair will favor the development of his democratic policy. It is probable that tho Vatican will make come otllcial statement of this opinion. The i'ope opened his episcopal jubilee today by giving a reception to children in the Consistorial flail. Thore were present live hundred children, belonging to noblo Catholic families, with their parents. A choir of children sang a brum dedicated to Christopher Columbus, after which tho Pope distributed medals among the children, and dismissed them with his blessing. LIGHT FROM Al'GLYNN'. The Priests Expiain Certain Things Connected with II. s Restoration to th Chnreh. Nkw York, Jan. 8. Cooper Union was crowded to-night with people anxious to hear Dr. McGlynn's Sunday address. Beforo beginning his regular discourse, he defined his own position with regard to the united labor party and the Anti-poverty Society. "On last Suuday evening." ho said, "1 read a statement of the doctrines of tho nnited labor party platform and of the Auti-poverty Society, my teachmgof which doctrines had led to the series of ovents so happily terminated by tho removal from me of ecclesiastical censures. It is well that I should now add that the doctrinal statement was full and unreserved, And that it nowise minimizes, explains away, or doparts from the doctrine, as 1 havo been teaching it for years. Tho making of that doctrinal, under the circumstances, might be sufficient proof of the fact, which 1 now positively affirm, that i:o retraction or condemnation of those doctrines was a condition precedent of the removal of the ecclesiastical censures. "in nddition to the doctrinal statement I feel that a personal statement concerning my present status is due to my friends and to the public. 1 willingly make this statement, which shall pe the better tor being brief, and as nearly as possible in official or eemi-otlicial lauuagc. On Dec. it was officially declared by authority of the delegate of the Pope, invested with special powers sought and obtained for this express purpose, that 'Dr. McGlynn was declared free trom ecclesiastical censures nud restored to tho exercise of his priestly functions, after having satisfied the Pope's ablegate on all points in his case.' The representative of the apostolic delegate further ea.d to the agent of tho press that the decieitn 'enables Father MoClynn to serve as priest in any parish to which he mar be assigned.7 'i have oiUrial letters of the apostolic delegate, tdgned by his hand and attested by his Hrftl. declaring tho removal of tho ecclesiastical censures and, moreover, commending me to the bishop jveryvLere that I may be permitted in their respective dioceses to celebrate mas. My representative, moreover, was informed by the apostolic delegate that be knew ot several archbishops and bishops who would be pleaded to havo me in their dioi-ests. 1 have received an invitation from a veuerable prelate to viait him, and deliver a conre of lectures in his cathedral. Further light is thrown on tho matter by nn oJlicinl vt oomi-orticial statement of Bishop Keane. rector of the Catholic Uni versity, in bich the apostolic delegate is staying. On Dee. "1 liiehop Ker.no said to an airent of the vti s: 'Dr. MctJlynn will be allowed tojndue lor himself whether he will be cm i;egotiitions with Archbighop CorricH'i for a parish, or apply to tho Holy Sec at Rome. He is a valuablo

member of the clergy, and will probably j a. a? 111

oe given a position wnere nis services khi bo most useful.7 It muy bo well tomnntiou that, according to tho laws of the Catholic Church, priests in good standing, and even bishops, cannot exercise any ecclesiastical oilice or ministry except by the courtesy or authority of the bishop of that diocese, so that, for instance, a pastor of a New Y'ork church could not hear confessions or validly give absolution in the ducese of Brooklyn without the express authority of tbe Bishop of that diocese. 'I am content, aud prefer for the present to remain as I am, saying mass every morning and fulfilling toy literary and lecture engagements. As to my future, I repose with childlike confidence upon the providence of God which, as a few think and I with them has, as if in answer to earnests prayers, marvelonsly brought about recent events. It was a kindly and gracious act of Archbishop Satolll to rebuke the raking-up of tbe old controversy on tbe day of peace and good will. I am very much touched by his charity and am thankful for it; hut justice requires that P should stato some of the thiugs attributed to me in tho publication referred to by Archbishop Satolli were never said by me. For instance, 1 never called tho Pope 'an old woman," or 'an old lady,7 nor did 1 over call him 'poor old bag of bones. I swear it." CARRIED DOWN BY THE ICE Over $300,000 Loss Inflicted on the Ohio I Coal Fleets Below Cincinnati. Fulls and Empties Crcshod -by the FreakiDg cf ths Gorge in Front of That CityAll lut Ono fcteamer avcd. Cincinnati. Jan. 8. It requires a stretch of tbe imagination to picture three millions of tons of ice moving at five miles an hour down the Ohio river. The ice in forming a gorge does not lio Hat. Gorge are formed of , up-ended fragments of ice, inclioing'forward and downward in the direction of the enrrent. In this way a gorge may be four to six feet thick. Its surface iscragiry and jagged. Water rising in the interstices freezes. The mass thus becomes more or less solid. Its nip on the banks oi the river, assisted by curving banks, holds it stationary. Tho current of a rising stream, especially at the present stage of tho river, twenty feet and rising, is a constant force tending to tear the gorfto loose. Floating ice accumulating at the upper end aflords another power to tear tho gorge from tho bank?. A rising temperature, which to-day was from to i2, is a powerful auxiliary to these forces already mentioned. All steamers in the rivor at the port of Cincinnati have been keeping steam up all the while waiting for the worst. All the coal Ueets havo been covered with men day and night. The steamers in port being exposed are the Tacoma, Bostona, St. Lawrecce, Iron Queen, John K. Speed, New Mary Houston. Fleetwood, City of MadieoD. Carrollton, Bonanza, Shirley and City of Vevay. All these aro river packets. There are also the following tow-boatj: Kaglj, Convoy, Charley Clark, Comet, Alice Bar, Benwood and Matthesou. The tow-boat Ilercule Carroll lies in the Licking river and is not exposed. Besides these are three huge wharf-boats for the Biic Sandy, tho Memphis and New Orleans and the Louisvillo mail lines. In the ice uorge within a mile of its lower extremity were all that was left of the $70,000 worth of coal in barges on account of tho disaster which was related in detail iu these dispatches last Friday night. Fleets of coal that eocaped last Friday were exposed and they are much more valuablo than those that were torn loose and carried down the river. At - o'clock this afternoon tho mighty glacier ot three million tons began to move with a horrible groan, and the bills echoed with terrific screumiug of a score of steamwhistles. Slowly, as it with great dtlliculty, the mighty mass began to move, at first fracturing its icy body with detonations like the sound of musketry. Crushing aud grinding the shores, crashing against the grvatstone piersof the rive monster uriiices, on it went with a force no mortal powor could resist, and increasing its speed every minute. Nineteen steamers and a hundred coal barges, empty or loaded, had but two or three inches of oak plank to present resistance to tho ponderous aggregation of power. K very man was at his post on the steamers and every man was a hero. Again aud again the ponderous chains that held the steamers and the wharf boats to their moorings were parted, and as often Hkilltul bunds repaired them. The two bridges abovo the public landing broke the lie somewhat and prevented the otherwise, inevitable destruction of every packet. By 0 o'clock to-night all apparent danger to the steamers was over. The gorne had passed and the river was comparatively clear, t ne tow-boat, the Matthchon, valued at 5,0-A), was tank and destroyed. Down below the destruction of co;l barges and other property, from accounts at this hour i 10 I. m.), has been terrible. The harbor tow-boats Comet. Benwood and Alice Barr are going down with tbe gorge, fully manned and working heroically to break tho ico and savo property. Tho gorge that moved past Cincinnati extended from Coney island and above the mouth of tho Littlo Miami to below Anderson's ferry, a distauce of eighteen miles. For two miles below this the water was clear. Then came another corge, beginning at the mouth of the Great Miami and extending below Lawrenceburg. This lower gorgo was about live miles long. The upper gorge, with its doomed coal fleets, crashed luto it and toro it out, and now both aro grinding their way. with a territio roarinc, far down the Ohio, at five or six miles an hour. It is impossible to get perfect details tonight. Here is the ncaret approximation of the destrootlon of coartleeta: Forty-five loaded barges, worth SlbO.GVO; sixty empty barges, worth S1SO.OU0; trrand total. g:W,0;;o. Add to this a corrected statement of the tow-boat Matthesou, which the owner puts nt 810. 009, and there is a grand total of $;10,(XX). Thin includes the boats that wero carried away lost Friday, that have been icebound ever since. The ro is not one cent of insurance on this property. Three harbor boats were heard from about 10 o'clock tonight. They aro safe, and are working heroically to save property. The heaviest losers are the Winifrede company thirty fulls and eleven empties. AH the other owners of ileets lost every thine, except ttio following: Sol Kineon A: Co.. YV. II. Brown A Son and the Quen City.

THE TARIFF UNSTEADINESS

Cause s a Shut Down of Jlerritt's Woolen Mill One flondred Oat of Work. GfissndorfTs Will 'Till Closs in February, Causing" a Loss of Ncrk to Fifty Persons Interview with Mr. Thalman. The woolen-mills of George Merritt &. Co., on West Washington street, closed down last week and about niuoty men, women aud boys are out of employment, for the present at least. This is not a sudden move on tbe part of tho owners of this establishment, but one that has been contemplated ever since the result of the national election last fall became known. The fact is directly due to that result. A reporter called at Mr. George Merritt's residence last evening, but was unable to secure admittance, there being no one at home. However, Mr. Merritt talked freely on the probable closing down of his plant just previous to tho holidays, and said at that time: "Should we conclnde to close our mills, y. ran" be for ono reason only, and that the probability that the incoming Democratic Congress will make some radical chanae in the existing tan ft on the article we make. Beginning with the new year, all that we make up will be for next winter's trade. Supposing we were to buy enough wool now to make our usual output, and, after having it made op. and before next fall, the tariff should be taken oft', and the price of the article go down. Where would wo be? "The past year has been an unusually prosperous one with us. aud we can allord to run along for some time for the benelit of our employee, but we cannot do it forever. If the"ic?.rift on wool be taken oft entirely, and that also on woolen goods, it will doubtless work a radical change in the condition of trade in this country. If foreigu prices remain as they are at present, minus the tontr, you can readily see what wo will have to compete with. How will we do itf Thatis a question. It may mean for us a winding up of our business in that direction, but it is, of course, too early to tdlk about that now." The closing of the mills is the outcome doubtless of deliberation on the situation oxplained in Mr. Merritt's interview. If a special session of Congress is called with the avowed intention of "fooling" with the tariff it will enhance tho present hazy condition as to the future and increase the uncertainty of the resumption of work at the mills. It was also reported yesterday that the mills of C. E. Geisendorll & Co., also on West Washington etreef, were about to shnt down for the same reasons as advanced for tbe other. Mr. Isaao Thalman, a member of that firm, was seen last night, and asked if the report was trne. He said: "Yes. we expect to close as soon as our tbis-year orders are tilled. Tho, future is a little too uncertain for us ; to go ahead in our usual wav. We do not care to make up a lot of goods at the present prices for wool, and have it some 7 or 8 eicht cents cheaper next fall. However. 1 beliove that tho scare will bo really worse than the effect. In the first place, 1 believe Mr. Cleveland has too much sense to spring a new tariff law on the country all of a sodden. It would be suicidal if ho did. Then supposing the tariff on wool was taken olf. 1 don't fancy that it -will make so vast n change. Australian wool, and it is tho best raised, is sellinu for 15 cents there. Wo. here, pay J cents for it. You may set it down as a fact that tho moment that 7 cents is knocked off on this side of tbe water that it will corne pretty near being added on the other. What good will that do usf Suppose it should be 2 or 3 cents cheaper a pound, and 1 think that that will be about the extent of the reduction, it will not be felt by the consumer. We use abont two pohntin and a quarter ot wool in n suit of cassimcre underwear, and if the 7 cents were knocked off it is not going to change the price of it very much. "If the tariff 6hould be taken oft therein going to be a Ionic wail come up from tbe people all over this country for the reason that they will go to tha stores expecting to get things for about half what they are getting them now, and will find that they cannot do it. The worst effect that it will have on ns will bo that instead of having the competition of our own people only, and that has brouuht prices down abruit as low as can be, we will have to meet that of the foreign nations too." ; Mr. Thalman said that they had orders enough to run them until about the middle of 1-tibrnary, and then the mills would close, unless it has been definitely settled by that time that there will bo no extra sPHsion of Congrcs. In that case it may keep as there will likely be no change in prices for a year. About fifty hands are employed at the plant. SCHOOIi-TKACIIKKS. Their Tenure and Their Mazes, and the Inllncncd of Wcmen in Educational Work. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal As the president's address at the opening of the State Teachers' Association did not directly or indirectly allnde to politics or religion in connection with tho Richmond schools, the implication in your editorial of Jan. 2 that such reference was made was certainly made without accurate knowledge on the part of the writer of said editorial. The Only referenoe made to the Richmond schools in the address was a report of a careful investigation, covering a period oi of tweuty-flve years, of the leugth of service of the different teaohers who have been employed in said schools within that time. The results of the investigation showed that tho average length of service was considerably less than live years. This, too, in a system of schools where, as stated in tho address, competency and cflioieucy alone decide the tenure of office of teacher, no one being dropped who is np to a reasonable standard in these respects, where few resign to no to other places, und where the physical surroundings are agreeable and healthful, perhaps in au exceptional degree. Tho conclusion was that. If under such circumstance!!, tho average length ol .service was but live years, that the average term of servioe over the State at large, or in the United Mates, would be found to bo still leas. Ai the teachers, for most part, enter the schools without previous professional training, either in normal-school ork or by service elsewhere, ' the conclusion was drawn that five years or less was too short u time for a teacher to acquire professional training by experience and also render much valuable servioe, and that tha system of admission into the school-room of untrained teachers which now obtains iu most part of our country is at variance with ail principles of political economy, and detrimental to the interests of those who attend school. The ouly reference either to politics or religion was made in an entirely different purl of the address, in considering the various cati?et which lead men to abandon tbe profession of teaching just as the)' are able to do their best work, or which deter them from entering tbo profession. The argument was entirely general in character, and did not warrant any such conclusions ni are drawn in the editorial. Perfect freedom was demanded lor the teacher to have his opinions upon the political. moral and roligions questions of the day, aud to ex press his opinions with the same freedom tnat. is granted to other citizens no more, ho leas and that his position should not be at stake because he might not be :n accord with the majority upon questions in debate, in which, ns a citizen, he is as much interested as any one, aud upon which, as presumably one of the most cultured members t community, he ia us competent to hold and oxpres opinions as any one eUe. 'lhat the teacher's tenure istumply from year to year is a statement of tact. .His coutraot is for the school year, and at the end of that time he may be dropped for any reason or for no reason at all. That certain communities pursue ttie plan of reappointment of competent teachers, year aiter year, does not alter tho fai-t that the teacher's tenure of olllcu is laDccme. nud that he is at tho mercy of any

whim of those in authority or any clamor of popular discontent, bo-wovcr ill founded. This insecurity of te'nure drives many Irom the ranks of the teaching force ot the country, who prefer to engage in some employment offering more security as to permanence. Tho address insisted that tho standard of admission into the teacher's position should be raised aud the tenuro made more secure by prohibiting removals except for cause. Nor wa9 I inconsistent in my remarks concerning wages. My argument was that the best interests of the public demand a system of schools tatiiht by a stable corps of trained professional teachers, something we do not now hayo; that such a corps of teachors could not bo had nnder the present system of admission to the teacher's position, nor could such a corps of teachers be established with the present drift out of the profession. In considering the causes of this dirft tho question of wages, as a matter of coarse, came in. The thought was that the material rewards are too small to hold in tbe profession many of those who should be held, as he who can succeed well as a teacher can almost invariably succeed in other things which pay better. The teacher's calling is worse paid than roost other professions the ministry and literature, perhaps, excepted, and oilers no such great prizes as both of these otter. The head cutter of a ready-mado clothing manufactory is paid more than a uni versity president. The last biennial report of the State Superintendent shows the average yearly salary of men in the eohools of the cities of the State to be 6 JO. ot women ?15S. CO. The State at large, including cities, towns aud townships, shows annual salaries of men to average $:S.CC). of women &oT.:X). The reasons for this small pay awarded the teachers are first, the eeneral indifference of the public to

tbe fact that unskilled teaching is a greater economical waste than unskilled labor In any handicraft or business enterprise; second, tho tact that where salaries are paid to publio officials they, as a rule, aro by no means adequate, or graded with any reference to the true value of the service to bo rendered. The public is prone to be niggard ly in salaries but lavish in fee list as evidenced by the salaries paid judges in comparison with the incomes of the officials of tho courts over which they preside. This general tendency to keep salaries down is adverse to a fair compensation for tbo teacher. Third, the small and ntrng gling college, financially weak, unable to pay just compensation to its teachers exerts, also, a depreciatory inllnence upon ed ucational values. The fourth, being the part of tbe addres most keenly criticised, 1 quote just as it was given: Th competition of woman has tended to keep down educational compensations, trom ice point where woman was considered entirely un lit to teach at all, tho pendulum of publlj opin ion has swung almobt to U;o extremity oi us arc. Men havo been gradually driven out of the grrailes of our publio school work until they nov are found soarcely anywhere, save ia the supervisory and high-school forces of citlen and towun. and iu diminishing numbers lu the district (schools. That woman can teach, and teach well, no ono can denj. or can wish to deuy. Tho coining into the schools of the gifted women who have adorned the school-room in years past, and who adorn it now, has been to the treat and lasting advantage of the fciiojI. Hut tue puzuic schools snould not be taught entirely by women. no more than they should be taught cutlrely by UiCU, aud it has not been to the advantage of tho schools that they should ho to near! y deprived of tho Fcrvices of competent men as teachers. If the change had been made entirely In the spirit of chivalry, or hecauso competent men wero not to be found, it could not le eo Justly censured, but tho displacing or men has been too much because women would work for lower wages than men. It has lieen too much a matter of niouey. a competition In winch woman has beeu arrayed against man, and woman against woman to the end that men have tfiveu way and women have tilled tho places. This competition has not been a competition of more merit. but of ie.s uiouev. 20 fur a i have observed, wnerever it has been loudly proclaimed that no differeuco would or should oo made between tUn pay of mvn and women In tha school, women's pay has not been raised to the level of pay needed to keen men, but salnries have rather' been scaled down to tho level of woman's waicoa. This competition is not only Injurious to tho schools in driving from them competent teach ers, hut women themselves who are superior teachers sutler most Keenly under tho present system of admission Into the teacher a oince from the competition or tho uutralneu masses or women, who eagerly peek places for temporary em ployment, with no intention of remaining in the schools loncer than until marrlago shall frivo thorn a happy release from school-room duties. It is a most cruel competition, for women cannot turu so readily to uioro remunerative employment as can men, and must pubrnlt to It patient ly and uncomplainingly for the pittance for which the young aud Inexperienced girl may be willing to work. Whether or not, as long as our present social arrangements exist, as long as man must be bread-winner for wife and children, and bear tho burdens of society, there will be, or ouzht to be, an equality betweeu the pay of man aud woman, Is a question that need not here be discussed. I hop?- I fball not be misunderstood. Twentyone years of supervisory work in the public scnoois nas taucut me too much or the noble qualities of heart and mind of the women who are in the schools, too much ot their contentious work, devotion to duty, loyal submission to authority, readiness in carrying out all plaus for the improvement of the schools, their anxious care for the mental and moral welfare of those committed to their care, for me to speak in ellirhttng terms cf woman's work m the publio schools or of woman ns an educational factor. but as long as the teaching force of tho publio KcbooU is so largely made up of women ns it now Is, It cannot and oucht not to bo that stable force vrLica alone can give tho best educational results.
