AX EFFECTUAL REMEDY.
There is a note of real work for the sup
pression of illegal combinations in the
opinion of the counsel for the Xew York
Senatorial Committee which has been in
vestigating the Reading deaL The opin
ion recites the well-established facts con
cerning the monopoly, brought out by the
investigation; points out that the New
Tork Code of Civil Procedure authorizes
the Attorney General to bring an action
for the annulment of its charter against
any corporation which has violated the
the law so as to forfeit its franchise; and
recommends that the matter be referred to
the Attorney General for that action.
Thp fight acainst the monopolistic com
binations has so far been conducted on the
lines adopted by the old man in the
primer against the bad boy whom he found
in his apple tree. "Words showing the in
justice and public wrong of such combi
nations have not made the slightest differ
ence in their attitude. Throwing grass
has also been tried in theshapeof judicial
decisions which were easily evaded and
statutes which have hardly been backed
up with any attempt to enforce. These
things made no more difference to the
combination manager, in the expressive
languaee of Mr. A. A. ATcLeod, the head
of the Reading monopoly, "than to the
Sioux Indians."
But the mistake common to the bad boy
and the combination capitalists was the
supposition that no more severe missiles
were in reserve. The opinion referred to
shows the character of the ammunition.
A corporation whose charter is annulled
is not much better than a criminal who
has undergone the discipline of the guil
lotine. Its corporate life is gone, its
property is taken away and for the rescue
of anything from the wreck its share
holders must throw themselves on the
charity of the State. This is severe dis
cipline, no doubt. Regard for investments
would make it the last resort; but, when
the corporations Involved have contemptu
- ously spurned all milder attempts to mate
them respect law and public policy, what
other course is open for the protection of
public interests against the great law
breakers? We believe that this is the way to stop
the great combinations. After one or two
of the great offenders have undergone that
sortcf capita) punishment the rest will
very quickly come to the conclusion that
there is more safety in operating their
franchises according to the limitations
of Jaw.
THE ISSUES SET FOKTH.
Yesterday's Republican rally at Wash
ington was indicative of tho constant
growth of enthusiasm on behalf of Pro
tection in Western Pennsylvania. There
ousht to have been more Democrats in the
audience that listened to Governor Mc
Kmley, Congressman Dalzell, President
Eberhart, of the glass workers, and the
others. Major McKinlcy forcibly stated
that "parties do not make issues. Issues
make parties." And then proceeded to
set forth the issues of this campaign in a
manner that cast ridicule and rebuke on
those who wish to re-establish wildcat
banking and to open up America to Eu
ropean competition.
Jefferson, as the Governor pointed out,
urged the nation to "build the factory
near the farm. " He showed the reasons
for this advice, and in his customary
lucid and incisive manner demonstrated
the direct opposition to this principle
urged by the Chicago platform. Dalzell's
description of reciprocity as "free trade
In competing products" and "the intro
duction of the golden rule among nations"
was both apt and truthful. Eberhart's
description of the wretchedness observed
among Belgian workers and the vast
superiority of the conditions of American
labor was a practical testimony to the
value of Protection by an eye-witness
peculiarly fitted to judge of it from the
workman's point of view.
The speakers at Washington clearly
defined the issues of the campaign, and
the voters must choose between Piotection
coupled with a round currency, and tariff
for revenue only allied to a perilous mon
etary system.
THE INOCULATION TEST.
Some of our Eastern cotemporaries are
Indulging in ill-tempered commentary on
the act of Mr. Stanhope, a correspondent
of the New York Herald, in first taking
the cholera inoculation of Paiteur and
Haffklne, and then going to Hamburg and
deliberately doing all the things by which
cholera is contracted. The opposition
represent this a sham trumpeted abroad
with great parade, while no especial
credit Is given to the Hamburg physicians
and nurses, who are asserted to take the
same risks without advertising the fact all
over the world.
This is unfair and decidedly petty. The
physicians and nurses, as in duty bound to
themselves and the public, take all the
precautions of disinfection, avoid the
drinking of infected water, and use every
known method of destroying the germs
from the patients whom they attend.
They are doing a noble and heroic work;
but they are doing It in a manner to re
duce the known risks to a minimum. On
the other hand, the correspondent is ex
posing himself to all the rislis.and disre
garding the precautions. Ho has drunk
Elbe water, slept in tho bels ot cholera
victims, eaten without washing his hinds
after attending cholera patients, and by
all tbe methods possible invited the
disease. The ground for criticism la not
that the test is a humbug, but whether the
acceptance of such risks is justifiable.
It is a difficult question of casuistry
whether any man has the right to invite
death for the demonstration of an im
proved discovery. If these things were
done in a mere spirit of bravado, it would
have the moral qualities of a foolhardy act
of suicide. Done as it appears, in the
faith that it will prove the efficacy of in
oculation, it assumes a much higher as
pect; but it is still of doubtful virtue.
Two aspects make it very questionable
whether the test is of importance enough
to justify the hazards. Ono is that the ex
periment will not be conclusive; the other
that it could be made without the per
sonal hazard, and. with more conclusive
results.
If the correspondent survives, it will
increase the probability that the inocula
tion is an efficacious safeguard; but it will
be far from an absolute proof. The true
test is the inoculation of large numbers of
people, who by necessity are exposed to in
fection. If all the population of Ham
burg, or an entire plague-stricken section
of Prussia, were inoculated, the disappear
ance orcontinuanceof the epidemic would
give a valid indication that the safeguard
was either successful or a failure.
For these reasons it is more than doubt
ful if such courting of death is to be ap
proved. But it is not an act that should
be treated with detraction or misrepresentation.
DISCREDITING ballot reform.
President John B. Robinson, of the
State Republican League, in his address
at Williamsport yesterday, took the oppor
tunity to throw additional discredit on the
Baker ballot .Mr. Robinson is reported
"doubting the efficiency of the Baker bal
lot law, for which he voted as a member
of the Senate, but the intricacies of which
he did not comprehend. The law practi
cally declares that everyone must have
a guardian when he goes to vote, and if
he does not vote himself some one else
can do it for him."
If Mr. Robinson knows anything at all
of the law he knows very well that there
is no word in the law that can be twisted
into tbe faintest semblance of what that
gentleman is reported as asserting. Unless
Mr. Robinsou has been griovousiy misre
ported he has carried the policy of bring
ing the law into discredit to the length of
flatly lying about it We hope that the
report of his remarks is incorrect; and will
gladly give him credit for a denial of it
But, in view of the appearance of that
summary of his speech in the press re
ports, It is worth while to take especial
notice of some features in the apparent
campaign against the act
It is true the law has some glaring de
lects and some minor inconsistencies.
But the most glaring of the defects were
those inserted by the famous Senatorial
revamping of the original bill, and the in
consistencies were produced because the
Senatorial committee did not do its work
thoroughly. We do not understand that
Mr. Robinson had any hand in that butch
ery of the act; but his political associates
were engaged in it for political purposes.
The act has been further discredited by
the muddling of the form of the ticket;
and it is not entirely without point that
this muddle was produced on the motion
of the Chairman of the Republican State
Committee.
There may be a difference of opinion
about the motive of these various acts, in
cluding Mr. Robinson's assault on'the law;
but it is certain that if the politicians had
gone to work to deliberately discredit the
law in order to prevent real ballot reform
they need not have done anything differ
ing from what they are now doing. ""
A CONSTITUTIONAL DIFFICULTY.
An interview in one of the city papers
yesterday reported a citizen as saying that
when this community goes to tho
mountains for its water supply it should
not trust the matter to a corporation, but
that Pittsburg, Allegheny and the adjoin
ing towns should issue the necessary
bonds for the work.
The Dispatch has already pointed out
the objection to dealing with a privato
corporation; but the plan proposed raises
even a greater difficulty. In its present
corporate form Pittsburg cannot issue
bonds to the requisite amount Her tax
valuation cannot be further enhanced,and
it will be impossible to raise the money by
a loan so long as affairs retain their
present status.
This leaves one of two things to be done.
For one, Pittsburg can pursue tbe course
of preparing for the time when this work
must be done by either laying up the nec
essary surplus or by reducing her debt
For the other, a new municipality must bo
organized, taking in tho whole manu
facturing and residence district The
latter course will be tho most compre
hensive in Its results, but a good many
conservative prejudices must be overcome
before it is practicable.
TWO CAMPAIGN ARGUMENTS.
Two varieties of Democratic argument
have recently been prominently forced on
the public. They are distinctly separate
in character and latitude; but their variety
does not lessen their union in character
izing the campaign.
One Is the plea of confession and avoid
ance adopted by the leaders. This is en
tered by Ssnator Hill in the form of In
dorsing the platform declaration that any
sort of protection is unconstitutional, and
then proceeding to argue in favor of a
mild degree of that unconstitutional arti
cle. Ex-President Cleveland is more suc
cessful In his plan of ignoring the plat
form and presenting something entirely
different as the real Democratic platform.
Both practically acknowledge that the
principles adopted by the undisputed au
thority of the .Democratic platform are rev
olutionary and destructive, and both art
fully present as a substitute what their
party has rejected.
The other style of Democratic argument
Is presented by the enthusiastic and rock
buttressed Democracy of Georgia. Gen
eral Weaver found it to be pungent aud
conclusive. The women who attended
his meetings experienced the fact that the
Southern style of argument was too over
powering for their endurance. Consisting,
as it does, of rotten eggs hurled with pre
cision at an obnoxious opponent, this style
of deputation does not require the mental
strain of that adopted by Messrs. Clove
laud and HilL The expenditure of mus
cular energy is not great; -and if the skill
with which the missile is thrown should
be deficient It is sure to hit something
and thus produce Its effect
Tastes may differ, but, between the dodg
ing of the Northern leaders and the over
ripe eggs of the Southern mob, we have
rather the most admiration for the eggs.
Of the two classes of campaign argument
they lead in sincerity, directness of pur
pose and strictadhesion to the loic of the
case.
Intelligence, observation and careful
consideration of the conditions of life In
this country and elsewhere are all produc
tive of arguments on behalf of Projection.
Let any man aompare the Minneapolis and
Chicago platforms without prcjudlco and
ask himself whioh insures tbe greater good
of the greater number, and a vote for the
abolition of that policy which maintains tbe
high standard of American as oompared to
foreign wages, whioh encourages American
industrial independency and gonorally pro
duces American prosperity. Is out of the
question unless duo to a defect of mental
vision.
Nancy Hanks has surpassed herself and
Inaugurated a new era in the trotting world.
A mare that can trot a mile on a regular
track in two minutes nnd four seoonas' is a
maie that the country which gave her birth
can be and is proud or.
Speaking in New York, Senator Hill
rather advocated protection to American
industries as a good thing, so long as it was
only incidental to a revenue tariff. Ex
pounding what he Is pleased to call tho
principles of the Democratic party at Buffalo
a lew days later, the ex-Governor of tho
Empiie Stato emphatically declared that a
tariff for revenue must be so distributed as
to avoid any direct or indlieot encourage
ment to American manufacturers. This
sort of thing Implies a degree of confidence
in the forgctfulness of the publio which ma v
be Ingenuous, but is certainly uncompli
mentary enough to call for a stinging re
buko by that body at the polls on the eighth
of NovemDor.
Fortunately there are no inhabitants
on the moon or they might find it difficult to
establish an effective quarantine against the
indiscriminate admittance of boisterous
moonstruck comets.
Costa Rica has now announced its
willingness to enter into a reciprocity treaty
with this country. When such a measure
lias beon signed, American exporters will at
once be saved from tho paymout of about
$300,000 of duty to that Republic to say
nothing of the opportunity for enlarging
thoir marketi-by tbe simple permission to
allow tne free importation of coffee to this
country to continue. And this is tho result
of a policy describou us a "sham," which is
the outgrowth of a principle stig matized as
a "fraud."
It is poetic justice that America should
send empty away the vessels or the rich and
inconsiderate steamship company, which
threatened the safoty of sixty-live million
human beings. M
Geady, who did so muoh to foster the
amicable spirit whloli they indicate, would
have icjo!ced,ns every thoutrhtfnl American
must, at the warmth and sincerity of the
compliments inteichanged yesterday at
Richmond by tno veterans of the North and
South. This is tho spirit which the solidity
of the country demands; the submerging of
past differences in the common patriotism
of to-day.
Contracts for the paper of the new bal
lot sheets should be let by the acie or the
ton, and those for the printing by the num
ber of barrels of ink estimated as necessary.
It is just possible that an authentic
ballot sheet may be produced altera lew
more tiials and a little fuither growth in its
acreage- But no man can tell how many
votes will be lost by a loosely worded law
made worse by careless misinterpretations,
until the trial has been made, and the suf
frage rendored liable to destruction by quib
bling legal and unjust technicalities.
After a while there will be none of the
States loft through wblch they run, whose
courts the Beading monopolists have not
set at defiance by actual trial.
President Harbison is a candidate for
re-election on a protection platform that Ills
party is proud of. Ex-President Cleveland
is ashamed to subscribe to his party's creed,
and asks for re-election on a personal guar
antee that he is hotter than tho men who
nominated him.
Of course Executioner Adlai Stevenson
has buried his ax since ex-President Cleve
land wroto his latest remarks on the ethics
of civil service.
All the arguments on behalf of a Federal
control of imports and inter-State commeroe

TALK OF THE TOWN.
UnderJray, Gables' Root
"When I was staying with Joe Jefferson
this summer," said a New Tork manager a
day or two ago, "I had plenty of opportuni
ties to 6ee the cievelands' homo life. The
ex-President is certainly one or the luckiest
men I know, and Gray Gables about as
pleasant a retreat as heart could detiro. I
went on several fishing excursions with Mr.
Cleveland, and dined moie than once at hi
borne. One thing struck me more than any.
tiling else, and that was Mr. Cleveland's in
variable avoidance of -politics. lie never
betrayed by even a chance word tho Interest
in tbe campaign a candidate might be par
doned for feeling, and if politics came up at
some other man's instance in conversation
Mr. Cleveland took the earliest opportunity
to change the subject. lie would talk the
atricals to Mr. Jefferson or me as much as
we pleased, and, by the way, he knows a
good deal about the stage; He enjoyed dis
cussing household affairs with Mrs. Clove
land, especially If the matter pertained to
little Ruth, and publio affairs outside of
party politics in tnis country o'ten came in
for review at his hands. But politics In the
sense you would suppose him to
be most Interested in ho never
touched upon In my hearing. I suppose
lie talks enough about the campaign
to his purely political visitors and refreshes
liimselr by tabooing politics as far as he can
at other times. Mrs. Cleveland is not so
careful to conceal her anxiety about her
husban I's prospeatsln the great raoe, and
sbe extracts information about the outlook
from those sho thinks well-Informed with
the same charming ease that characterized
her intercourse with nubllo men when sbe
was mistress of the White House."
Danger Lends Sauce to Sight.
Tho perversity of mankind Is illustrated
on the Sixth street bridge all tbe time these
days. Heieand thero along the temporary
iootway are posted signs tersely and clearly
forbidding pedestrians to stand still any
where on the bridge, and whenever I have
crushed the bridge lately I havo noticed that
around everyone of these warning sLtns is
co'lected a small crowd. Nowhere else, in
deed, does it seem to occur to the average
passenger to stop and stare at the workmen
swinging the big beams into position. The
st.ns seem only to remind the reader that
ajdangeious and therefore deeply inter
esting business is in hand, and that
hero is the coign from which the whole
performance may be seen to the best ad
vantage. Considering the fact that fully
sd.OOO or 40,000 pooplo cross that brldie daily
atid that the work of pulling down the old
stiucture and setting tip the new has not
bpn allowed to close the bridge to traffic
for a moment, it is indeed wonderful that
some serious accident has not occuried be
idro this. I believe the only persons in
jured since the transformation of the bridge
bemn are the two orkmen w ho unluckily
nhsiook a loose rope lor a secure one and
were uuuea into tne river.
Surgery Outstrips Medicine.
Surserv is outstriDnlii'' medicine, nnd In
creasing its lead every year," said n notable
Pittsburg doctor yesterday. "Surgical sci
ence and surgical practice have both been
csriied already to what seems tho neighbor
hood of perfection. It cannot be truthfully
sr.lO, though I wish it could, that medicine
ie in the same vicinity. This is not to be
wondered at, but the progress of medi
cine seems even slower than humanity has
a right to expect. The triumphs of human
skill that aie recorded In surgical annals
every day or so have no parallel In the
practice of medicine. Tho awful havoo
played by cholera has served to remind us
doctors that we aienot traveling ahead of
our forefathers to the extent we "ometiines
imagine, and tho knowledge of this truth is
no more pleasant because we also know that
on the other hand surzery is widening and
peifecting itself in all lands at a great rate."
Those Armor Plato Contracts.
"There has beon no trouble about the
armor plate contracts at Homestead," said
a naval plate inspector of armor the other
day, "up to the present, because the new
men have not been required to do more
than shape up the stook or plate made be
fore the July trouble came. Tho new men
are shortly to try their hands at making
plate, and they will be In lar better shape
to do good work than If they had had to
rash headlong into tho manufacture or
armor at the first. .1 do not anticipate any
hitches in the fulfillment of the Govern
ment Contracts in the Carnegie mills, as
they have proceeded slowly and still have
abundance of time to complete tho neces
sary ouiput."
He Denied the Impeachment.
On one of the Western railroads running
into Pittsburg the other morning the con
ductor of an express train stopped before a
passenger who had shown a pass. The pas
senger was decidedly seedy in appearance;
his clothes were not too good for a scare
crow, and tbeie was that in his face which
told of a perturbed spirit. Tho conductor
noticed this anxious, uneasy air, and pos
sibly also the sti ong aroma of whisky which
pervaded the tough citizen's neighborhood.
"Let me look at your pass, sir?" said the
conductor.
The passenger handed it over. It was an
editorial pass.
"You aie an editor, sir?" asked the con
ductor. The citizen drew his greasy clothes about
him, swallowed convulsively and replied
with dignity, slightly alcoholic: "No, sir; of
course not. The man who says I am is a
liar and "
There he paused, and in the awful silence
which ensued the conductor pocketed the
pass nnd the seedy pai ty paid his casi faro.
Then he said as he took the receipt: "I shall
report you to the President."
The conductor said that was all he asked,
but up to yesteiduy afternoon no report
about that lifted pass had been made. The
next time that editor lends a pass he bad
better accompany It with a lecture on tho
high dignity of tbe profession, so that If ac
cused of being nn editor the defendant may
plead guilty at once. H. J.
BAILE0AD WfiECKS FOB SHOW.
An Engineer's Flan for Making Money and
Breaking Up Old Engines.
Chioaoo, Sept. 23. An engineer on the
Louisville and New Albany Railroad, whoso
name has not yet been revealeil. Is responsi
ble for one of the most novel World's Fair
schemes yet formulated, His idea is to
lease a piece of land near tho Exposition
grounds and build a railway track a mile in
circumference, with another track inside,
both tracks to be connected by switches.
Around one side of the track ho would build
an amphitheater with a seating capacity lor
30,003 people. On these tracks he would
Glace two locomotives. To clos3 the show
e would start these two engines In opposite
diiectlons, and when at mil speed the con
necting switch would be thrown open and
tho locomotives alio wed to collide. To make
the collision more realistio he would have
the tendersjump Just in time to save their
lives. It is nil opinion that a real railroad
wreck would bo an attractive spectacle. He
rays that be can furnish entertainment of
this sort for $2,300 a performance about
twice a week. Ho would nee abandoned
locomotives, and be says the beauty of the
project lies in tbe fact that this is an easy
and profitable way to break tho old
locomotives to pieces and get tho old iron.
Tbe engineer is still looking for a backer.

CATHOLICS A.ND THE S0H00L3.
Archbishop Tache Presents His Side of a
Question That Absorbs Many States.
WwHirza, Mak, Sept. 23. Archbishop
Tache has just issued an Important letter to
define the practice nnd teaching or the
Church of Eonie in regard to allowing com
mont In the publio schools on Scripture
readings. "Despite all that is said to the
contrary," says the letter, "the Ohuroh loses
no opportunity in bringing the Word of God
to the knowledge of the people. Its liturgy
is nothing but an inspired selection of texts
admiiably harmonized for the instruction
and edification of alL Its ascetio books
have tbe same character. A mere glance
over the encyclicals of the Popes and pas
torals of tho bishops, etc., reveals tho same
desire. The Catholic Church requires that
the different versions of the Bible should be
approved and authorized by it, to bo consid
ered as the Word of Uod and reid as such.
It lorblds the uage or Bibles whioh havo
not such recognition. The church is the
guaidlan of Holy Writ, and to accomplish
Its sacred trust it must protect the books
which contain divine inspiration against
falsification, mutilation or alteration. The
Catholic Churon, being the sole interpreter
of the Bible, forbids its interpretation ac
cording to private Judgment.
"The Catholics Cuurch favors the usage of
the Bible in the vernaonlarvlanguage, but It

REACHED ITS MAJORITY.
Arrangements for the Twenty-First Anni
versary of the Home for Aged Women
at WIIklnsburg-A Fair In the Post-office-Gossip
of Society.
The Home for Aged Protestant "Women
at Wilkinsburg reaches Its majority to-day.
Twenty -ono years ago It was established, in
tbe hope of doing a great deal of good, and
tbeladios who gave so much of their at
tention to its affairs can look baok and see
that for moro than a score of years ic has
lightened tne path of hundreds of worthy
old souls whose latter days on earth would
bave beon very gloomy but for this excel
lent institution. Thore is tobe a luncheon
at the beautiful house among tho trees this
nftornoonfroml2to I o'clock The meal is
prepared by the lady managers, and all
the viands are of the best quality, served in
an appetizing way in the regular dining
rooms of tho homo. There will be provision
made lor hundreds of visitors, and none
will be sent away hungry. The day Is always
a delightlul one, and there are many who
would not think of missing this annual
feast, knowing what a pleasant occasion it
is always made. It is not only that tho
luncheon Itself is dainty In all Its appoint
ments, but there Is a home-like atmosphere
that destroys any suggestion of a publio in
stitution. Tho lady managers give their
personal attention to the preparation of
the meal, and it always does credit to their
tasto.
Besides tho luncheon there is a bazaar on
tho first floor of tho house, in which are ex
posed for sale all kind' of pretty and useful
articles. There are toilet accessories, such
as pincushions, fancy mats, comb bags, hair-
filn holders, etc., etc., ull made by the old
ady inmates or the home, and representing
uiuny inddstrlous hours. Tho articles are
well made, for the inmates of tbe home are
not deficient In taste, and they look forward
to this yearly celebration as the great annual
treat. The visitor to the home at this time
of year sees the place at Its best. Wilkins
burg is a pretty place at all times, and par
ticularly in tbo early fall. The home stands
in a grove of gigantic trees, and when one
reaches the house the road and other re
minders of the presence of a town with liun
dieds of inhabitants are completely shut
out. A dav at the home is essentially a tluv
in the country, so that visitors have a pleas
ant outing while enjoying the consciousness
Of helping a noble canse. The home is at
the corner of Rnbecca and Coal streets,
nnd is reached by the electric cars
(which connect with tho Fifth avenue cable
lino) or the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The old postoffice building at the corner
of Fifth avenue and Smlthfield street will
on November 7 find Itself turned to a use
that It has never experienced in all Its
many years of existence. Tho old edifico
has seen a great deal of business transacted
within Its stone walls, bat It has never been
given up to the dainty frippery ars)Jf decora
tions of a fancy fair. That will be its for
tune next month. Tho Ladles' Aid Society
of the Southslde Hospital has obtained per
mission to use tbe postofflce building for its
annnal fnlr for tho benefit of the hospital,
which will last for a weak. Din
ner and supper will bo served
every day, and It Is hoped that
tbe more convenient situation will cause
muny business men to pationize the fair at
meal times than could be attracted to the
Auditorium. The ladles will take posses
sion of the building on the 14th of Octooer,
and will spend the tlmo from that date to
the 7th of November in preparing for the
lair. Tho various committees are all hard
at work, and it is expected that the fair
will be more successtul even than that of
last year. All the money made from the
fair will go Into the building tund of the
Southslde Hospital. It is tbe expectation
that a large sum will be realized, as It Is the
intention to give an entertainment more
brilliant than anything of the kind ever
seen in Pittsbmg.
Michaelmas Bay. This is the anni
versary of tbe feast of "All Anzels," and
especially of St. M.ohael, who stands at the
gate of heaven with a flaming sword. This
day Is always celebrated in tbe Catholic
Church, and In the Protestant Episcopal
Chnrch In some parts of tho country, par
ticularly the West. St. Michael was formerly
considered by tho Hebrews the greatest of
all angels, and has always been honored as
tbe archangel, moro than others of less note.
There aie few people who take particular
notice of Michaelmas no-v, but a hundred
years ago it was a very important- date. It
was not only quarter day, when rents be
came dne, and when many debts had to be
paid, according to a custom tbat prevailed
very generally, especially in tho British
Isles, but it was regarded in England and
Ireland as a feast, only second in import
ance to Christmas itself. The Michaelmas
goose was an honored bird, who was fattened
lor the Michaelmas dinner and who was
slain and plucked with due ceremony before
the eventlul day. Families met at Michael
mas, and there were sports of all kinds, out
door as well as Indoor. Going further back
wo find that tho mummers were abroad at
Michaelmas, and tbat theatrical periorm
ances were given, more or less rudely, in
country places. Mloholmas is now only a
church holiday, and were it not kept in
memory In the prayer book it wonld most
likely bo forgotten entirely. The Idea of
celebrating a day lor all angols is a pretty
one, and for that reason it is a pity that
Michaelmas Is not consideied more than is
actuauy tno case.
