This report was adopted. John Quak enbush, secretary of the Wholesale Grocers' Association, will be the tem porary secretary. John Quackenbusn, wno nas oeen temporarily appointed secretary of the board of trade, has resided In this city for the past eight years, and during that time has been .actively engaged in business and since the organization of the Scranton Wholesale Merchants' as hoelatlon.has been Its secretary. He Is a son of tho late Hear Admiral S. P.

Tho local engineers wanted to be assured of the hearty wish of the peoplo of Scranton to have the convention come here, The engineers said they would take care of tho entertaining or the visitors them selves merely suggesting that the Hoard of Trade extend an Invltutlon to the convention to meet here In 1904 and furnish badges to be distributed by the local delegates at the convention next month when the place for holding the pext biennial convention will bo de cided upon. About 800 budges would be necessary and they would cost lu the neighborhood 'of 400.

Bids for the $283,000 issue of munici pal Improvement bonds were opened yesterday by Recorder W. L: Connell, and after they had been carefully con sidered by the members of his official cabinet it was decided to reject them nil ii, wl n-n,l'nf tti fnl II .qppnml Met tfl be In next Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The reason for the rejection of the bids Is to be found in the failure of councils lo pass In time the ordinance amending the original ordinance so as to make provision for the payment by the city of the state tax on the Issue, which will amount in all to about $19, M0. It will be remembered that the advertisement for bids contained the announcement that the city would as sume the payment of this tax. Jt was later discovered thut provision for the payment of this tax had been omitted from the original ordinance. A supplementary ordinance remedying this defect was hurriedly prepared and introduced In councils, but no strenu ous effort was made to secure its pas sage before the bids were opened yes terday. The bids for the bonds were mostly all based on the assumption that the city would pay the state tax, though two bidders presented bids agreeing to pay a very respectable premium for the Issue and to assume the payment of the tax themselves. The bids were as fol lows: TWWULE. M.ioii, l.rwN A Company 102.00 ltudolpli Kli'jbolt & Company...... 101.C1 NON-TAXABLE. PitMiuri; TruU rompany 103.40 J. k W. Si-llcnun WUl M. A.

When Dick Bros.' bid was opened by the recorder It was noticed that It was written in what might be termed "a rather ambiguous manner." It looked to some present as If the figures were 103.90, while to others It appeared as if the 90 looked more like a per cent, sign or character. The bids were held under a'dvlsemont until tho afternoon, when another ses sion of the cabinet was held and the matter again discussed, It was finally decided to reject all bids and to re-advertise for proposals on the basis of tho successful bidder assuming the pay ment of all state taxes, so that no In justice would be done any particular firm and so thnt all bidders may have a fair and open field. Tho new bids will be opened next Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. SCRANTON BUSINESS COLLEGE. The Demand for Bookkeepers and Stenographers Continues. Montrose, Pa., April 19, 1902.

M'LEOD. Saya He Asked for Proofs That Any Reputable Jesuit Ever Taught That "The End Justifies the Means,1 and That the Doctor Re plies by "an Exuberance of Rhet orlo rind a Deficiency ot Facts.", Macaulay and Froude Not Taken Seriously as Historians. Hi. Rev. Bishop Hoban makes tho following reply to the sermon preached Sunday night by Rev. James McLeod, D. D pastor of the First Presbyterian church, in which the latter defended his statement of tho previous Sunday that "whatever bo the doctrines of tho Jesuits of today, there can be no doubt that In the sixteenth century, nnd much inter, they adopted and defended tho proposition that the end justifies tho means": IMIInr of The Tilbune. sir: I asltiil Dr. Mcl.eoil to furnish mo ullli llie proofs that any reputable .Ipsult cor tauttlit tli.it "tliu end Jtwtifloi the mvan"; hi' tcplle" by nn cMilicrann' of rhetoric ami n deficiency cf facK I am uiixloiu ti know whit Jcnlt ever taiiKlit that iKiL'trinc, I mil morally icitain that the JimiIU of tliu hktccnlli anil Inter centuries not only llil not Uuh that Joe trine, but taught the direct contrary.

And nlthougli the end in Itself be good, (.till the employing1 of bad means for a Rood end is not prood." Uellanninc, the Italian, flsls: "Is it lawful to tell'a lie for n Rood end?" and amwon: "Xo, for n lie lioing truly a sin, no rcao;i or motive can Justify It." 'I.c.lui, the Belgian, !ay: "Wli.it Is In itself i'll docs not become lawful by the fact of Its belns lcfcrred to n irood end." (iury, the frenchman, declares: "It U timer Ian fill to do mil, nn matter bow triil.il, In or der to obtain a Rood, whatever that Rood may be." l.cliinl.iihl, the Cerman, nnd Hill, the Amoti on, teadi the fame doctrine. Jones, the Knic IMun.in, affirm: "There Is nothing more nbhouent or contrary to Citbollc teaching, and the opinions of theologian?, thin that the ciid juslilleq tho means, or that evil may be done for a good end." AUi .1KSU1TS. These arc .le-iuits of, tarloin centuries and of various countries, but all agree in teaching the same doctilnc, which i'l the absolute opposite of what l)r. Mcl.eod nseribrs to the noclcty of .Teius. I do not hesitate to say that the state ment that "the JcMitU adopted, and defended the proposition that the cr.d justifies the means" is a faNc and malicious slander. M. Taul testifies that lie was slandered in tho same way. "As we are slandered and ai some affirm that we cay. Let us do cll that good may come" nnd adds, s'lmlficantly, "whose damnation is jiut," Rom. iil:E. "The voice of history (i) with its trum pet toturuo has repeated and cmDhatized the charge," but tlnldlnf? cymbals and sounding brass are not proofs, and a He however much le pcatrd Is still n He. In answer to the alleged facts, I would say: 1. Calling names is not an argument consid ered seriously by scholars. Papist and papisti cal are also significant names. I am proud to be a Papist. 2. "The truth of Pascal's charges will hardly be questioned by anyone," etc. 'llie Jansenists jvere the implaeablo enemies of the .les-uils and Pascal was the wittiest of the Jansenihts. He wrote the "tettres l'roUneials" at llie, lequest of Arnauld. Voltaiie, who recognized the calumny of the Letters, asVs, "Honestly is it by the ealirc of the lrovincial Letters that one is to judge of the morality of the Jesuits!" Voltaire tells us. moreover: "Is it true that' the book (Letters) is built on a false foundation. It was not ii question, of being right, it was a question of diieiting the public." Was Voltaire n Jesuit! , Chateaubriand tells us, "And nevertheless Pas cal is only a calumniator of genius; be has lelt us an immortal lie." Dr. Jiaistre calls the I.ctleis, "The Liars," nnd speaks of Pascal as "a superior polemlkt in the matter of rendering" calumny diverting." Madame do Maintcnon testifies: "Tho Jan SPiiists liae written defamatory lettern full of spile, animosity and slander against the Jesuits." Joubert "The Ja'iscnl,t.s seem to love (lod with out Jove, the Jesuits, on the tontiary, seem to loe Him by pure inclination. There is a iov in the booVj) of piety because nature and religion are there in harmony. Cousin bears witness that "it was the Jesuits who then defended the good cause, that of hu nun liberty aud of the merit of works." Kenan "In the quarrel between the Jesuits and tlio JansonUts, the Jesuits defended a doc trine more conformable to and respectful ol liberty than tlielr adversaries." WKrti: TIHUlt KNT.MIKS. These witnesses were not Jesuits: as scholars know, some of than were bitter enemies of the Jesuits. Dr. McLcod's citation of Pascal was un fortunate, !i. "Clement XIV did not doubt," etc. He did. In a letter to tliolsuul, lie wrote: "I can not blame or destroy an Institute which nine teen ot my predecessors b.ne praised and the council of Trent lias approved." He begged for delay, but the Ilourlions were determined on the destruction of the society and Spain threatened a schism. Marie Teresa of Austria Joined the Ilourlions and alone against the crowned heads ol Europe, in the interests of peace within tho church, be signed tho Brief of Supprcrslon and fell tenselcss to the Boor.

Tho Protestant historian, SchrclT, obscnes that the Brief of Suppression is especially remarkable becauso it condemns neither the doctrine nor the morals nor tho discipline of the Jesuits. The citation of Clement XIV is not a happy one. 4. Tho Jesuit confessor refused to absolve Mmo.
