&. !': s ""-) -VV TT ' . OF THE POPE For the Settlement of the . Catholic Educational Ques tion Is Simply THE FARIBAULT SCHEME 'Amplified to Meet the Requirements of Various Localities. BATOLLI'S ADDRESS OUT AT LAST, As Re Delivered It to the New Tork Con- elate of Archbishops. WATS OF USING THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS St-Xouis, Dec. 7. The following is the text of the address of Mgr. Satolli, Papal Delegate, delivered at the recent meeting of American Archbishops in New York, on the subject, 'Tor the Settling of the School Question and the Giving of Religious Education." ' To the Catholic Church belongs the duty and the divine right of teaching all nations to believe the truth of the Gospel and to observe whatsoever Christ commanded (Matthew xxviii., 19). In her likewise is vested the divine riant of Instructing the young In so far as their's Is the kingdo-n of heaven Mark x.. 141: (Conf. Cone Bait., p. L. 1IL, No. 191) That is to say, she holdi for I herself the rLshtof teaching the truths of faith and the law of morals in order to bring up youth in the habits of a Christian. life. Hence, absolutely and universally speaklnc, there is no tepugnance Inthe'r learning the fiist elements and the higher branches of the arts and the natural sciences Mgr. SatoUi. in public schools controlled by the State, whose office it is to provide, maintain and protect everything by which its citizens are formed to. moral goodness while they live peaceably together with a sufficiency of temporal goods under laws p romulgated by civil authority. The Council of Baltimore Still Bales. For the rest, the provisions of the Conncil of Baltimore are yet in force, and. In a gen eral way, will remain so: to wit: "Not only out of our paternal love do we exhort Catho lic parents, but we command them, by all the authority which we possess, to procure a truly Christian and Catholic education for the beloved offspring given them or God, born again in baptism unto Christ and des tined for Heaven, to shield and secure them throughout childhood and youth fiom the dangers of a raerelv worldly education, and, therefore, to send them to parochial orother truly Catholic schools." United with this duty are the rights of parents, which no civil law or authority can violate or weaken. The Catholic Church in general, and es pecially the Holv See, far from condemning or treating with indlflerenoe the public schools, desires rather that, by the loint action ol civil andecclesiastical authorities, there should be public scnools in every State, according as the circumstances of the people require, lor the cultivation of the useiul arts and natural science'; but the Catholic Church shrinks from those features of public schools which are opposed to the truth or Christianity and to morality; and since, In the interest of society itself, these objectionable features are removable, therefore, not only the bishops, bnt the citi zens at large should labor to remove them, in thevlitueof their own right and In the cause ot morality. Times have Changed for the Better. It is long since the Holy See, after consul tation with the bishops of the United States of America, decreed that parish schools and other institutions under the direction of the bishops, each according to the conditions of its own diocese, are opportune and neces sary for Catholic youth, from the fact ttaat It was held for ceitain that the public schools bore within themselves a proximate danger to lalth and morals, for various rea ons, viz: Because in the public schools a purely secular education is given, inasmuch i ft excludes all teaching of religion, be? cause teachers are chosen indiscriminately from every sect, and no law prevents them from working the ruin ot yonth,so that they are at liberty to instill the germs of Vice into tender minds. Likewise, certain cor ruption seemed to Impend from the fact that in these schools, or, at least, In many of them, children ot both sexes are brought together for their lessons in the same room. Wherelore, if it Do clear that In a given locality, owing to the wiser dispositions of publio authorities or the watchful prudence of School Board, teachers and parents, the above-named dangers to taith and morals disappear, then it is lawful for Catholic parents to send their children to these schools, to acquire the elements of letters and arts, provided the parents themselves don't neglect their moat serious duty, and the pastors of souls put forth every effort to Instruct the childien and train them in all that pertains to Catholic worship and life. Discretion Left to the Local Churclu It Is left to the judgment and the wisdom of the Ordinaries to decide whether, in a certain part of their respective dioceses, a parochial school can be built and kept up in a fitting condition not Inferior to the public schools, taking into consideration the tem poral condition of the parents, while graver needs for procuring their spiritual welfare and the decent support of the church are press in?. It will be well, therelore, as was the wont of our forefathers and was done in the early days of the churoh, to establish weekly classes or Catholicism, which all the children of the parish should attend. For the better success of this measure, let the zeal of pastors In lulfllling their duty, and the love of Catholic parents, leave no effort unspared. No reproach, either In public or in pri vate, shall be cast upon Catholic parents who send their children to private schools or to academies where a better education is given under the direction of religious or of apnroved and Catholic persons. If they make sufficient provision for the religious training ot their children, let them be free to secure in other ways that education tvhioh the position of their famllyrequires. It is greatly to be desired, nud will be a most happy arrangement, If the bishop agree with the civil authorities or with the members of the School Board to conduct the school with mutual attention and due con sideration tor their respective rights. While there are teachers of any description for the secular branches who are legally in hibited from teaching the Catholic religion and morality, let the rights and dutv of the church obtain of teaching the children the catechism, in order to remove danser to their laitb and morals from any quarter whatsoever. m . The "Words of the Pope on the Subject. "It seems well to quote the words of our Holy Father, Leo XUL (see the Pone'a let ter to the archbishops of "Jew Tork and to the Bishops or the Province)! "We lurther desire you to strive earnestly that the vari ous local authorities, firmly convinced that nothing-Is more conducive to the welfare of the Commonwealth than religion, should by wise legislation provide that the system or education which is maintained at the pub lic expense, and to which, therefore. Catho lics also contribute their share, be in no way nreJudicial to their conscience or religion; lor we are persuaded that even yoar fellow citizens who diff from us in belief, with ..- virartiristic intelligence and nru- dence. will readily set aside all suspicions and all views unfavorable to the Cathollo. fUlS jgfi -& V Churoh, and willingly acknowledge her merit as the one tnat dispelled the dark ness or paganism by the light of the gospel, and created a new society distinguished by the luster of Christian virtue and by the cultivation of all that refines. We do not think that anyone there, after looking into these things clearly, will let Catbollo parents be forced to erect and support schools which they can't use for the instruction or their children." As for those Catholic children that in great numbers are edncated In the publio schools, where now, not without danger, they have no religious Instruction at all, strenuous efforts should be made not to leave them wlthont sufficient and season able iustruotion In Cathollo ialth and prac tice Catholic Children Attend Pnblio Schools. We know by expedience that not all our Cathollo children are found in our Cathollo schools. Statistics show that hundreds of thousands of Cathollo ohildren In the United Sfites or America attend sohools whero they are under control or State boardF, and in whloh, for that reason, teachers of every denomination are en gaged. Beyond all doubt, the only thing neoessary i. e., religious and moral educa tion, acoordlng to lathollo principles Is nnt tn h tn..rrt xlther HffhtlV Or With delay, but, on the oontrary, with all earnest- The adoption of one of three plans is rec ommended, the choice to be made aocord lng to local circumstances In the different States nnd various personal relations: The first consists In an agreeiuentbetween the bishop and the membnrs of the School Board whereby they. In a spirit of fairness and good will, allow the Cathollo children to be assembled during free time and taught the cateohlsm. It would also be of the greatest advantage lr this plan were not connnea to the primary schools, but were extended, likewise, to the high schools and colleges In thcfoi m of a free lecture. The second: To have a catechism class outside the publio sehnol building and also classes of higher Christian doctrine, where at fixed times the Catholic children would assemble with dilllgence and pleasure, In duced thnreto by the authority of their patents, the persuasion of their pastors and the hope oi praise and rewaids. Local Pastors as Teachers. The third plan does nnt seem at first sight so suitable, but Is bound up more Intimately with the duty of both parents and pastors. Pastors should unceasingly urge upon parents that most Important duty, imposed both by natural and divine law, of bringing up their children in sound molality and Catholic lalth. Let the pastor of souls say to them with the aoostle: "My little chil dren, of whom I am -In labor again until Christ be formed in you" (Gallatlans lv: 19 ) Let him have classes oi children In the parish, such as have been established In Borne and many other places, and even In churches In this country with very happy Jesuits. Nor let him, with little prudence, show less love for the children that attend the public schools than for those that at tend the parochial. On the contrary, stronger marks of loving soliol'ude are to be shown them. The Sunday school and the hour for catechism should be devoted to them in a speoial manner. And to cultivate this field let the pastor call to his aid other priests religious, and even snitaole members of the laity, in order that what is supremely necessary be wanting to no child. For the standing and growth of Cathollo schools, it seems that care should be taken that the teachers prove themselves quali fied, not only by previous examination be foie the Diocesan Board and by a certificate or diploma received from it, but also by having a teacher's diploma from the School Board of the State, awarded after successiul examination. Not at War With the Civil Power. This Is urged, first, so as not to appear re gardless, without leason, of what public au thority lequires for teaching. Secondly, a better opinion of Catholic sohools will be created. Thirdly, greater assurance will be given to parents that in Cathollo schools there is no deficiency to render them in ferior to public schools; that, on the con trary, everything is done to make Catholic schools equal to public scnools, or even superior. Fouithly, and lastly, we think that (his plan would prepare the way for the State to see, along with tne recognized and tested ntiieii or the teachers, that the laws aie observed in all matters pertaining to the arts and sciences as to method and peda gogics, nud to whatever is ordinarily le quired to oromote the stability and useful ness oi the schools. It is necessary that what are called nor mal schools hhould reach such efficiency in preoaring teachers of letters, arts and sciences, thnt their graduates shall not fall to obtain the diploma of the btate. For the sake ot the Catholic cause, let there be among laymen agrowing rivalry to take the diploma and doctorate so that, possessed of the knowledge ana Qualifications requisite for teaching, they may -compete for and bonoraDly obtain positions in the publio gymnasia, Uoeums and scientific institu tions. The knowledge of truth of every kind, straightfoiward justioe united with charity, the effulgence and appreciation of the liberal arts these -are the bulwarks of the church. All the above was read and considered in the meeting of the Archbishops, the diffi culties answered and, the requisite altera tions made November 17. Non-Commlttal as to Dr. McGlynn. A dispatch from Washington says: In regard to the statement published this morning, that through the mediation of Mgr. Satolli, Dr. McGlynn is to be received back into the Catholic Church in good standing. Mgr. Satolli said he felt it his duty to say that, so far as his own action in the matter is concerned, it would be pre mature to make any statement whatever. After handing to the reporter Mgr. Satolli's answer, Bishop Keane remarked that, as Mgr. Satolli is to act as a judge in the case of Dr. McGlynn, it would be manifestly improper for him to make any statement in regard to it at this time. Resolutions of Kf-spect.

A Jury Secured After Fxhanstin-r Week'a Tanel. the CRIMES LAID AT THE OUTLAW'S DOOR I9PICIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. Uniontown, Pa, Dec. 7. The Cooley cases were fairly started to-day when the notorious survivor of the gang, Jack Ram sey, was placed on trial for burglary. Crowds have been lingering in town ail week, and when it became known that the case was to be called this after noon a rush was made for the old building in which court is being held. When the famous bandit leader was brought out ot the jail by Sheriff McCormick a throng of people 'followed him to the Court House door and struggled for admittance, Bamsey walked boldly into the court room and took his seat beside his counsoj, Hon. Thomas M. Marshall and Colonel Thomas B. Searight. He was as cool as any one in the courtroom, and nodded and smiled to those of his friends whom he recognized in the audience. He took a deep interest in what transpired, and held long and frequent consultations with his at torneys, and especially with Mr. Marshall. Bard Work to Get a Jury. The work of'empanelling the jury was tedious and occupied nearly three hours. The jurors were called one by one and se lected with as much care as though they were to pass upon a murder. The Cooley and McClellandtown gangs gained much notoriety .and their acts were depreciated so much by all law-abiding citizens that it was difficult to select a jury of unprejudiced men. The attorneys for the defense 'recognized this and rejected every man whom they thought had the slightest prejudice against Bamsey. Almost the entire list of jurors for the week was exhausted before a jury was secured. Im mediate! v upon the completion of the jury court adjourned till to-morrow morning. Bamsey will be tried first upon two charges of burglary committed three years ago while he was a member of the then famous and much feared McClellandtown gang. He. with the Cooley boys, was at that time a member of a party of thieves known as the "McClellandtown gang," which operate hereabouts and terrorized the timid people of this county two or three years before the organized thievery and general cussedness of the tribe crys tallized into what became known as the "Cooley gang." The crime for which Bamsey is now arraigned was com mitted while this nucleus of the subsequent Cooley gang was doing a sneak thieving business by way ot training for the later exploits ot the crew. Besides the pn soner frank Cooley, Charley Lewis and Jack Sullivan were all arrested for these depre dations. The former two broke jail and escaped punishment, but Sullivan and Lewis were convicted, .sentenced and are tnow doing time in the penitentiary for their part in the robbery. Made War on the Feeble. The residence of old Mrs. Keener at McClellandtown was robbed by these re doubtables of the McClellandtown gang, and as there was nobody at home but the old lady and some little children the rob bery was easily accomplished. Indeed it will be noticed that the raids of the gang, whether as the McClellandtown party or the Cooley tribe, were almost invari ably made where they had to deal with women or poople too old to make resistance even if they had tried. After they had despoiled old Mrs. Keener these daring robbers went to the residence of Joseph Anderson, nearby, where there was a man on the premises. While trying to rob the Anderson place they were fired upon and driven away, one of them being shot. The Com monwealth will undertake to show that Bamsey was a member ot the gang that operated at Mrs. Keener's and at Ander son's. Pierce Keener, a son of the old lady mentioned, is the prosecutor in one case, and Joseph Anderson, who by the way is said to be Bamsey's uncle, is the prosecu tor behind the other charge.

' Xesterday afternoon three well-known Italians of this city took a young woman who gave her name as Mrs. Wylie Dow to the police headquarters. They said the girl had ran away from her. home at Par nassus, where her grandfather, F. M. John ston, lives, and who had been hunting for her for two weeks. One of the men knew the girl and her grandfather and he recog nized her yesterday while she was looking' out' of a window in Hazel' Hotel on Water street. They induced her to go with them to City HaU. The men also said she had canted the arrest in Kensington of three of their countrymen on serious charges and she was wanted there to appear against them. The girl was detained at Central station while inquiry as to the story was 'being made. TJp'to mid night no word had been heard from those places. , The girl told a queer story of her own at the station. She said she had married Wylie Dow, a railroader, at Kensington, three weeks ago, and two we:ks ago he brought her here to the Bed Lion Hotel and left her, telling her he would be back in a day or two, but she has net since seen him. She left the hotel a few days ago and went to Hazel's Hotel, bnt expected to go home In-a day or two. She denied having caused the arrest of anybody at Kensington, but alleged she had had a man arrested here yesterday for breaking in the door of her room at Hazel's. The police think the is crazy. STETJBEHVILLE'S BED WAGON. Condemned Fire Apparatus From Pitts burg Causes a Heap of Trouble. Steubesville, Dec. 7. Special' About five years ago the Fire Committee of the Stenbenville City Council bought a hook and ladder truck, supposed to be a new one. Later the fact leaked out that the apparatus was a second-hand concern which had been condemned bvy the Pittsburg de partment. The truck came to be known in this section as the "Bed Wagon," and it cost $1,950. Because oi this particular deal nearly every member of the Council that voted for the purchase was 'defeated for re election. The "Bed Wagon'"has been the source of several other scandals, and has been a never ending expense for repairs. Last Monday the aerial ladder, which was the strong point of the machine, which was guaranteed to be ash, broke in service and was found to be pine. This disclosure did the business for the "Bed Wagon." The Council was given to understand that it must be retired on its record, and that not another cent of the people's money must be spent on the swindle. So it has been nbandoned, and will not be repaired. WORLD'S FAIR RATES. Two Railroad Committees Send In Diverg ing Reports on the Question. Chicago, Dec. 7. At the regular meet ing of the Passenger Department of the Central Traffic Association to-day the en tire session was devoted to a discussion of World's Fair rates. Two committees were appointed to make recommendations. One was composed of the general passenger agents of the Ohio river lines; the other was made up of the representatives of the East and West lines. The first of the committees reported in favor of making a rate of 2 cents per mile for round-trip tickets on regular trains from Cincinnati. Louisville, Indianapolis and kindred points to Chicago and return. It also recommended that a special excursion train be run every Friday, on which a rate of 1 cent per mile may be charged. The other committee recommended a reduction of rates only for special excursions, to be agreed upon by the lines directly interested. The re ports were received and referred to the managing officers of the varlons lines, who will meet next week." OPESATOETESTiaB THEIB BTEENQTH.

DECEMBER '8, 189a FREE TRADE HOOTED By the English Conference of Farm ers, Which Also Votes For FREE GOLD AND SILVER COINAGE. in Out and Cut Protection Flank Carried by a Big Majority. ADTJCE TO THE MONETAEI DELEGATES London, Dec 7. The National Agri cultural Conference, called to direct public attention in an emphatic way to the present grave condition of agricultural affairs, met this morning. Five hundred delegates from over 250 agricultural associations were present. The Marquis of Huntleyand many members of the House of Commons also attended. James Lowther, M. P., made the opening address. Bight Hon. Henry Chaplin moved the adoption of a resolution, declar ing that the critical condition of agrioulture is a matter of national concern. Loud cheers greeted an allusion to protection as the remedy favored by many persons, but Mr. Chaplin said that any proposal to re- tarn to protection, which included a duty upon food, would meet with certain defeat. The resolntion, which was very general in its character, its substance being that means should be found for arresting the depression, was adopted. BI-Metalllsm the Needed Remedy. Mr. Chaplin declared that ioreign com petition is not the only cause for the fall in prices of agricultural products. The con tinuous rise in the value of gold is quite as serious a cause. The immediate remedy for thai would be a return to bi-metallism, in regard to which, he added, the statement on the subject recently made by Archbishop Walsh was the most convincing ever pub lished. Mr. Chaplin said he earnestly hoped the conference would adopt the prin ciple of bi-metallism. The Earl of Wincbelsea and Nottingham suggested the formation of a union of land lords and tenants. He offered to give 2, 000 to assist in the formation of such a union. His suggestion was adopted. William Saunders, a Badical member of Parliament, attempted to denounce protec tion, but was hooted down. He then at tempted to offer an amendment to Mr. Chaplin's resolution, declaring that the fall in prices of agricultural products is the natural result ol improved methods ot pro duction, but the conference would have none oi the amendment and reiused to allow it to be put to a vote. Free Trade Speakers Howled Down. Francis Smith, a member of the London County Council, made a short address, in the course of which he remarked that a re turn to protection meant a return to bar barity. This statement was greeted with hoots and yells, which were so long con tinued that Mr. Smith retired to his seat. Mr. Nethersole, a farmer delegate, pro posed a resolution affirming that the unfair competion of untaxed foreign imports with home produce is an unjnstice that calls for immediate removal, and that, therefore, all competing imports ought to pay a duty not less than the rates and taxes levied on home produce. Mr. Bear moved as an amendment that the conference defer the question of protec tion, -as it is likely to create divisions, and press forward the questions on which the conference is likely to prove unanimous. Bobert Armstrong Yerburgh (Conserva tive), member of Parliament for Chester, seconded Mr. Bear's amendment. He held that the adoption ot protection would drive the farmers into two separate camps. Mr. Franeis, an advanced Liberal member of Parliament, strongly opposed protection in any form. Going the Whole Hog on Protection. Bobert Jasper Moore (Liberal Unionist), member of Parliament for the Ludlow division of Shropshire, advocated the plac ing of a tariff of 10 shillings on imported American wheat Philip Albert Muntz, a Conservative member ot Parliament, con tended that all the manufactures and indus tries of the country are suffering from 'foreign competition, and. he declared that in the interest of all classes he would go the "whole hog" on protection. This ex pression was greeted with great applanse. Several other speakers made addresses in a similar strain. Mr. Nethersole's resolution was finally adopted by a large majority. Bobert Lacy Everett, a Liberal member of Parliament, moved a resolution, declar ing that in the opinion of the conference the continuous fall in prices which is so in jurious to the agricultural interests is largely due to the appreciation of gold and the fall in exchange between gold and sil ver, and that the best and most effective remedy would be secured by an agreement on a broad international basis to reopen the mints of the leading nations to the unre stricted coinage of silver and gold. The resolution urged that the British Govern ment be earnestly requested to co-operate with the other Governments represented at the Monetary Conference now sitting in Brussels . to secure such an international agreement. The Free Coinage Resolution Adopted. Mr. Everett contended that there had been only a small fall in prices since free trade was established and made a com parison with the prices prevailing during the period preceding the establishment of free trade. He therefore concluded that the fall is not due to free trade, but, he added, the policy of protecting gold had raised the price of that metal 50 per cent above the value it previously held with re gard to silver. Captain Symonds, in sec onding Mr. Everett's motion( said it is un fair that the British be exposed to the cheap labor of India and other countries while the Rothschilds are protected to the extent of 50 per cent on their gold. Mr. Fowler, a Kentish farmer, moved as an amendment to Mr. Everett's motion that the conference has no faith in any changes in the law regarding the currency as a rem edy for agricultural distress. Mr. Fowler's remarks were strongly disapproved of dv1 the audience, and several other speaker's who supported the amendments met with a bad reception, Mr. Chaplin closed the debate by declar ing that the owners of gold do not approve the motion, because the more gold appre ciated the better it is for them. Gold, he added, has appreciated in value since silver was kicked out in 1873, throwing a greater demand on gold. It is a curious coinci dence that since 1873 the world has been experiencing a prolonged and serious de pression in every industry, for which no other reason could be assigned. The resolutions were then carried, there being few dissenters. AH AUTOPSY ON BEINACH win Probably Be Ordered by the New French Government. Pjiris. Dec. 7.

He has worn stiff hats for many years and has gone around with an unsightly rim on his fore head, caused by the close fit of the uncompromising hat, without com plaint, because it was the fashion." Now Solomon & Ruben have taken pity on the poor man and introduced a soft hat of the shape known as the "Alpine." It is seen in all colors brown, slate and black and is worn either in plain or bent down through the top of the crown, from the nose to the back of the head. The hat suits all faces, although it looks a lit tle rakish on some. As a general thing, however, it is said to be a boon to the man who is tired of stiff hats, and the number of Alpines seen on the streets the last few weeks indi cates that the fashion is a popular one.
