The constitutional amendment proposed by Mr. Donnelly and which has been passed by-the house of representatives con cerning the regulation of railroads is a long step in a proper direction, yet it is doubtful whether sufficient attention has been paid to the details which it is intended to em brace. In the first place it is a difficult matter to incorporate in a state constitu tion a provision sufficiently flexible to meet all future requirements. The usual and wisest plan is to lay down certain well de fined principles in an organic law and to leave to the legislature the work of pro viding the details for putting those princi ples into operation. That section of the proposed amendment which asserts the fight of the state to regulate railway fares Mid tolls is all right. That other provision which originally read "No railroad corpor ation shall carry on any other business in this stale except the transportation of persons and property" was all right ilso, but there is just ground for apprehen jion that the house destroyed its effective ness by adding as an amendment the fol-j , lowing words: "And such business as isi ! .strictly incident thereto." There is no business strictly incidental to railroading except the carrying of freight and passen gers. Railroads are common carriers. That is their full purpose and scope. The amendment which the house added to the original bill will give room for a great deal of loose construction. It is unfortunate that it is so, but it is none the less true be cause it is unfortunate, that the courts are often so constituted that in deciding a rail road case they always take the railroad view of it. According to the railroad view of this constitutional provision any sort of business that the railroad companies engage in will be regarded as strictly incidental to the business of the railroad. By a strained construction of this provision the courts will most likely hold that the railroad com panies will have the right to engage in the same departments of incidental business which this amendment is intended to cut off. They will continue to go ahead with their land bureaus, their elevator arrange ments and their grain and coal syndicates just as they are-doing at present. If a constitutional amendment is to be adopted, let it declare in just so many words, that tfie business of railroading shall be confined exclusively to hauling freight and passengers. If amendments are to be added, let it be in the direction of the orig inal proposition and not away from it. For illustration, the legislature might wisely enough act upon a suggestion heretofore made by the Globe, of forbidding the man agers and officials of railway companies from engaging in any kind of business other than that of railroading. It is the system of "outside" business which needs looking after. The managers and officials of rail way companies take advantage of their connection with the railroads to bifild up private business enterprises in which they ire individually interested. »■_____ __TR. DONNELLY'S SENSITIVENESS. Mr.. Donnelly, is, perhaps, too thin (kinned for a politician. A man who goes * nto politics ought to have a hide like an lephant a skin that no shaft could pene . rate. In Mr. Donnelly's case it may be possible that newspaper reporters have •aken unwarranted liberty in making him the butt of their humor and the victim of their satire. At the same time it is hardly becomiug in a man of his station and dignity to betray so much sensitiveness about the matter, lie could better afford to conceal his chagrin and to keep his temper in sub jection than to betray a weakness by mak ing a public exhibition of his irritability. Mr. Donnelly is wrong in his conclusion that the newspapers have formed a con spiracy against him for the purpose of weakening his influence with the farmers. There is no reason why the newspapers of this state should enter into such a combina tion, and if there was a reason for itthey would decline to adopt such an unmanly practice. Those who have been close read ers of Minnesota newspapers have observed that they have a frank, independent way of ipeaking of men and things which divests ;hem of all suspicion of being conspirators. Mr. Donnelly's position In this state is so well recognized that newspapers sometimes | lake more liberty with him than they would : tilth a stranger, or one whose station was < not already fixed in public estimation. He is recognized as the brightest man and the : nost superb orator the state has ever pro- ! duced. He is, perhaps, personally known ! to more people of the state than any man in ; it. Nothing that could be said or written would magnify or lessen his influence with '• the people of Minnesota a particle. It is ! not necessary lor Mr. Donnelly to vindi- i cate himself before a Minnesota audience. ; While it is unfortunate that some newspa per writers take excessive liberty with Mr. i Donnelly's name, it is also unfortunate j that he should betray any sensitiveness be-! cause of their doing so. The Globe does ! not agree with Mr. Donnelly in many things, yet it does express its gratification to observe that he is making such a useful member of the legislature, and has so far shown himself deserving of the confidence which his constituents reposed in him. ___■ OCEAN GAMBLING. There is a good deal of foundation for the complaints whicli have been made regarding the .rambling which takes place on ocean steamers. Every one who has crossed the ocean knows that the evil is one which has grown to excessive limits and which is, under the peculiar circum stances which obtain on shipboard, espe cially dangerous and demoralizing. The tedium of an ocean voyage renders the diversion of games of chance particularly acceptable, but what was formerly merely pleasant pastime has now grown to a serious abuse. Professional gamblers make the voyage, in fact fairly live on the ocean steamers, in order to pluck the unwary, and those who indulge in the games find them selves speedily led on to a depth they never intended to reach. ■ The blacklegs make very sure of the prey, it has even been alleged with, at times, the connivance of the ship's officers, and it is a lucky lamb that escapes with a whole fleece. While there are no regular laws that can apply to a vessel for the suppres sion of gambling, the company can easily make laws for itself. It has supreme con trol over its own vessels. If it cannot re fuse transportation to the professional gamblers, it can forbid gambling of auy nature on the ship. The evil is one to which the remedy is easily applied, and which the companies and their captains hold in their own hands. -—: im INJURY TO STOCK. There is good reason to believe that the cattlemen are right for once and that the recent severe storm that has prevailed throughout the Northwest has been of ex treme injury to the stock-growing industry. A combination of 40 ° below zero weather and a ten-inch fall of snow is something which even the hardiest native steer has no doubt found the greatest difficulty in rust ling against, and the loss among the more sensitive tenderfoot cattle must have been something enormous. While the stock industry of the North west is too firmly established to be permanently injured by even a succession of hard winters, the los 3 which will occur this season will probably teach cattle men that it does uot pay to drive in late in the fall huge herds of cattle that have been ac customed to a warmer climate, only to have them freeze to death with the cohiing of the first blizzard. Young stock brought from the South should be shipped into Montana or Dakota as early as possible in the season, that they may in some degree become acclimated. As it is, the reputa tion of the Northwest as the best stock growing country in the world is apt to be come endangered.- As a matter of fact it will probably be found that scarcely 10 per cent, of the loss will be suffered by the na tive cattle, while at the same time the great loss among those of other kinds will cause all alike to fall under the ban. How ever, there need be little fear that the Northwestern stock growers will be unable to amply supply the St. Paul stock market when the shipping season sets in. CONSTITUTIONAL TINKERING. The legislature has got down to the work of amending the constitution in dead earn est. There are so many amendments pro posed, and nearly every one of them meri torious, it is hardly possible that the legis lature could dispose of them all if it was to exclude all other business and devote the whole of its time from now until adjourn ment to their consideration . If the amend ments that are proposed were all of them adopted, the constitution would be such an incongruous piece of patchwork that it .would hardly be recognizable, and when recognized, it is questionable whether it i would, be ,intelligible. The necessity for all the r amendments that have been pro posed Is conceded, and a great many more. Now, why should not the legislature do a sensible stroke by recognizing the necessity for a new constitution, and, without further delay, proceed to provide for calling a con stitutional convention? Then we would get a constitution fully up to the.require ments of the age in which we live, and one that would harmonize in every part. ■ NO CONVICT LABOR. The protest of Illinois printers against the employment of convict labor in the printing of school books, as is proposed in a bill now before the Illinois legislature, is justifiable and well put. There are not enough printers in the penitentiary to per form the work, and the proposition to in struct at least 100 additional convicts, iv order that they may become competent printers and assist, is especialy galling. There is no doubt but that such competi tion would have an extremely injurious effect upon the printing trade. Those honestly and industriously engaged in it have every right to demand that the state will not destroy their means of livelihood. The competition is already severe enough in every branch of industry, and the re muneration of labor is already small enough without the government, which should, in every way possible, elevate the condition of the workingman, taking meas ures which cannot fail to act to his detri ment. Pressure is being brought to bsar on the president by Republican senators to induce him to appoint Ex-Senator Windom on the lailway commission. We rise to ask Hon. Ignatius Donnelly whether there is any blood relation between Mr. Windom and that other gentleman mentioned by one Shakes peare, who also "would not down." m Mrs, Whitney has named her new baby after Mrs. Cleveland, and, though Mr. Cleveland may do the handsome thing in recognition to the full extent of his finan cial ability, he cannot do as handsome a thing as Mrs. Whitney has done in compli menting a lady whom the whole country ad mires. Metropolitan papers are discussing whether Mr. Evarts does or does not look like Julius Cesar. Whichever way the question is decided, the fact will remain un disputed that Mr. Evarts could have given Cesar forty yards start in a running debate and then beaten him clear into Gaul. When it is understood that Senator Dawes has a pretty daughter who took part in her father's canvass, and that the average legis lator, being but a human, is not impervious to the charm of feminine beauty, all wondei as to the means whereby the senator secured his re-election will cease. ; .: A Chicago paper is advocating the wear ing of knee breeches, but in the painful sus pense that ensues through the withholding of necessary information as to which sex the intended reform is meant to include, it is necessary to wait for more light before ap p roving the scheme. — «■ A loyal subject has bequeathed Queen Victoria $1,000,000.

KB *** Can some reader of the Globe tell us who wrote the following exquisite lines? HOME. Oh! what is home? that sweet companion ship Of life the better part; The happ smile of welcome on the lip Upspringingfrom the heart. It is the eager clasp of kindly hands, The long-remembered tone, The read sympathy which understands All feeling by its own. The rosy cheek of little children pressed To ours in loving glee; The presence of our dearest and our best, No matter where we be. And, failing this, a prince may homeless live, Though palace walls aro nigh; And, having it, a desert shore may give The joy wealth cannot buy. Far reaching as the earth's remotest span, Widespread as ocean foam, One thought is sacred in the breast of man— It is the thought of home. That little word his human fate shall bind With destinies above. For there the home of his immortal mind Is in God's wider love. In hi 9 argument on the woman suffrage bill in the senate, Mr. Vest based his objectiou to the measure because he believed that "woman as she is to-day, the queen of home and hearts, is above the political collisions of this world, and should always be kept above them." A very pretty sentiment, senator. But if women filled all the seats In the senate, the Beck bill prohibiting congressmen from acting as at torneys for railroads would not have been necessary. Women have too much sense of decency, to say nothing of higher moral con siderations, to receive pay rum corporations to which they as legislators were asked to vote government aid. _* The Chinaman is looked upon as legitimate prey for American adventurers.

The grab for eatables was infinitely worse than a free lunch scramble in a cheap saloon, while everywhere was to be seen an Alpine array of empty punch bowls and staggering heaps of hollow bottles. Of the 1,500 people present a large number be longed to the shady elements of the floating population of the city.

New York, Feb. 3.—Fifty sporting men and athletes gathered on Long Island to night to witness a bare knuckle fight to a finish between the heavy weights, Charles Doyle, of New York, and Frank Hayes, of Chicago. Doyle weighed 212 pounds and Hayes 196. The men recently had a dis pute, which they agreed to adjust with bare knuckles. Police Gazette rules governed, three minutes and no fouling. Round 1. —The men came together on the instant "time" was called with a rush. Doyle let go a left-hander and nearly closed Hayes' right eye. Hayes countered in return and marked Doyle's cheek. Doyle again led his left, but missed. Hayes again swung his right on the tender spot he had just made, cutting the cheek open and laying bare tho bone. The blow sent Doyle to grass. Just as the latter got on his feet Hayes hit him high up on the neck and again sent Doyle among the bushes. As Doyle got up the third time, Hayes made a blind rush to finish him. but Doylo let go his left straight out and caught Hayes on the ncse, causing the blood to scatter over others near by. Both dazed, fell back to recover, after which they become very busy at close quarters and so continued until time was called. Round 2 —lt seemed as though Doyle was a whipped man. His cheek was gashed, his lips split open and bleeding, his left eye bruised and nearly shut, while bis nose did not stand out enough to speak about. With out any pretense at sparring both wont to work. Hayes planted left and right on Doyle's pitiable face. They clinched. Hayes was evidently in distress r for wind. Do le feints with his left and swung his right on the back of Hayes' head with terri fic force, knocking Hayes down. Hayes gathered in time and they clinched, but were pulled apart by the referee. Hayes made a feeble effort, but Doyle swung his left on Hayes' nose, and Hayes went to the floor. He tried to get up but fell back, and remarked, "I've got e:ou.h." The tight and money was awarded to Doyle, who was a sorry looking siuner. Bought by Kansas City. Chicago.

S-KSil Oratorical Contest. Special to the Globe. Dcs Moines, la., Feb. 3.—The lowa state oratorical contest, held at Foster's opera house this evening, attracted a good deal of interest. Eight colleges were rep resented. Cornell sent two delegations, headed by Ed Duke and S. D. Bishop as orators, each Wishing to be recognized as Cornell's representative. The association decided to pass upon their credentials at the regular business meeting. The differ ence grew out of tiie election of a secretary and treasurer by the Cornell association last spring. A faction arose afterward, and without rejecting the minutes declared the action illegal. Each side then . held its contest and selected orators. Mr. Bishop's credentials- are signed by the vice president, secretary and treasurer, while Mr. Duke is backed by the signature of the president and new secretary and treasurer. The opera house was crowded to suffocation, where the young disciples of Demosthenes disported themselves before Judge Reed, of Council Bluffs. Lev. A. W. Archibald, of Ottumwa, and S. C. McPer rin, of Clarinda, as judges. " tm . I'm. and Calls.

DEFIES' THE CHURCH. Eev. Dr. McGlynn Publishes His Eeply to the Statement of Archbishop Corrigan, Giving at Length a History of the Disputes ■Extending Over Several Years. The Various. Inhibitions Laid Upon Him Which He Has Die re garded. He Will "Not Go to Rome, or Tolerate Guidance of His Private Views. New York. Feb. 3.—The forthcoming Issue of the Standard, Henry George's new paper, will contain the reply of Rev. Dr. McGlynn, the deposed pastor of St. Stephen's church, to the public statement in the famous controversy made by Archbishop Corrigan, a few days ago. Dr. McGlynn ._ reply fills six columns of the Standard. He begins as follows: The letter of August, 1882, from Cardinal bimeoni, to which Archbishop Corrigan re* ters, lam not able to find, but it is true, as be states, that this letter complained of in land league speeches as "containing proposi tions openly contrary to the teachings of the Catholic church." Tho • doctrines thus stig matized were those 1 have held and' taught before and since— namely, that all men are EQUALLY ENTITLED to the us 2of the general bounties of nature Including laud, as well as sunlight, air and water, and that human laws ought to be so changed as to conform to this dictate of nat ural justice, I affi-m that, while acknowl edging the right of exclusive ownership in all that is produced by human industry, I would, at the same time, compel those who enjoy ex clusively a larger or a choicer portion of the bounties of human nature, to pay to the com munity equivelant in the way of taxation to the full amount of the rental value It is absolutely false, although related by' Arch bishop Corrigan on the authority of Cardinal MCUoskey, that I recognized my errors and professed to be sorry for them. On the con trary, in my interview with Cardinal Mc- Uoskey, I reaffirmed the doctrine and ex plained it and defended it from misunder standings ana misapprehensions. I told him substantially that I knew mv theology well enough not to sin against it i ,'norautlv, and that I loved my religion too well'to sin against it willrully. I voluntarily' PROMISED TO ABSTAIN from making land league speeches, not be cause I acknowledged the right of anyono to forbid me, but because I knew too well the power of my ecclesiastical superiors to im pair and almost destroy my usefulness in the ministry of Christ's church, to which I had consecrated my life." Dr. McGlynn then gives at length two letters from the propaganda, one under date of Sept. 12. I©B2, directing the suspension or disciplining of Dr. McGlynn for land league speeches; the other under date of May 10, 1883, calling attention to the fact that though McGlynn had modified his tone, he was still speaking in favor of "Irish revo lution." and one from Vicar General Quinn to McGlynn dated May 21, eon veving a re quest that he should not attend a certain land league meeting. This meeting, McGlynn states, was to be addressed by Alexander Sullivan, the newly elected land league president.. McGlynn asserts that he did uot express any intention to attend it. and that other priests were similarly warned. It was NOT A LAND LEAGUE MEETING, but a meeting called to devise means for the alleviation of distress among the Irish ten antry. In a letter to Cardinal McClosky the doctor says: I shall hereafter refuse to take part in any such meeting, even though It be for charita ble purposes. The doctor then gives his reasons for de clining a prole red vacation and take a trip to Koine, saving it would interrupt plans for reducing his church debts. He gives the text of his statement of his well-known views on the land question published in the Tablet, holding that he was in accord with the fathers of the church, whose language he quotes. This brought out a note from the archbishop as follows: New fork, July 2, 1883.—Rev. Dear Doctor: The cardinal has received a copy of this week's Tablet, containing your promised statement. He desires me to ask whether you accept this article as a correct exposition' of i our views. He also thinks it well to call attention to the fact that the passages at tributed to St. Ambrose and St. Clement are commonly considered spurious, and that the passage alluded to is arguing ad hominem that heretics can allege no rights to church property. I am, reverend dear doctor, very truly, yours in Christ, M. A. t OKRIGAK, coadjutor. I answered as follows: New Yokk, July 3, 18S3.— Most Reverend and Dear Bishop: I had sent for a copy of the Tablet with the intention of sending THE PRO-USED STATEMENT to the cardinal archbishop, and had iust re ceived it when I received your letter. I enclose for the cardinal a slip from the Tab let containing the statement. I am respon sible for the article, and I accept it as a correct exposition of my views. * * 1 remain, most reverend dear archbishop, with best wishes, very sincerely, your obe dient servant, _.!->^ Edward M. Glynn. Before going further, 1 would state that among those who denounced me to Rome for my land league speeches were Bishops Gil mour, of Cleveland, and - Chatard, of Indian apolis, the former the author and the latter the apologist of the famous or infamous Cincinnati pastoral letter, which was, in a great measure, a liberate thesis against Thomas Jefferson's declaration of independ ence. On the lath of March of last year I went, at the request of Archbishop Corrigan, to Washington to recommend to President Cleveland Brig. Gen. John Newton, of the engineer corps, for promotion to a vacant major generalship. On my return I found a letter from Archbishop Corrigan, which 1 here publish: Rev. Dear Doctor: The bishop of Brook lyn has call, my direct attention to the en closed circular, in which you arc announced to speak at a meeting presided over by Henry Ward Beeeber. As the meeting is to be held in his diocese, the bishop objects vehemently to a Catholic priest publicly appearing in such company, Inasmuch as he conceives that great disediflcation and scandal will be the result. At 'his request I make his views known to you, and I am forced to say that 1, too, would feel humilitated to find a priest of the arch-diocese openly consorting with a man of SUCH UNHAPPY REPUTATION as Mr. Beeeher and even Howard Crosby, who only last year insulted us all b-. saving' that our country would rise against the Romanists and crush them into the dust because we simply asked that our poor children be per mitted, according to the constitution, to wor ship God with libtrt of conscience. I am. reverend doctor, very truly yours, M. A. Corrigan. In reply Dr. McGlynn reports upon the favorable results of his mission in behalf of Gen. Newton, and adds: It pained me to learn from you that you would feel humiliated by my openly consort ing with Mr. Beeeher, who was to preside, and even with Howard Crosby. But, as you did not forbid me to go, probably doubting your right to do so, nor even advise me In such circumstances to break my engagement, and as you marked your letter "private," I would have had to can. c a public scandal by breaking so important au engagement with out liberty to give the reason. The scandal would have been much increased by the more or less accurate surmises as to the cause, and no doubt by the speedy publication of the true cause, which publication, no matter how great might be the reticence, would probably come about through the indiscre tion of friends of Bishop Laughlin himself. I therefore determined to keep my engage ment, and all the more readily as I was confi dent, both from general principles and from several past experiences of my own in simi lar matters, that your apprehensions, and those of the bishop of Brooklyn, would not be verified. As a matter of fact, my pres ence on that platform drew Iran both Mr. Beeeher anu Dr. -. Crosby strong and eloquent testimonies in favor of the Catholic church. My joining with these gentlemen was to promote the cause of law in the interest of morality and temper ance, and in keeping with the report of the council of Baltimore, which was quoted with great approval by Dr. Crosby. I felt that in being there I surely was not making any com promise with alleged faults in MR. BEECHER'S PRIVATE CHARACTER, nor with Dr. Crosby's utterances on the free dom of worship bill. Besides we would do well to remember that a jury, after a long triaL failed to find the allegations against Mr. Beeeher true, and that it Is a wise maxim both In church and state and in society which says: "Dolocum Poenitentia.." We should also remember that Mr. Beeeher is to-day re garded as one of the greatest and most illus trious of Americans, and that his ; advocacy of any great cause is a tower of strength to it. As to Dr. Crosby, he will not. improb ably lose a good deal of bis asperity in ; conse auence of such meetings as that between him and me last evening, and that between him and Father Walworth a few weeks ago in Albany in the interest of the excise bill. It may be well in similar matters to remember the recent example of the pope, who sent to the arch-persecutor of the church the deco ration of the Order of Christ, and of whom the newspapers said a few days ago that he had sent a special courier to thank Bismarck for some complimentary remarks mad^in an after dinner speech. KBWSPtt With reference to the letterjof reminder about political speeches sent by the arch bishop on Aug. 21 last, he says: Tbe only political gathering that I can re member at which I spoke shortly before the date of Archbishop Corrigan's letter of Aug. 21, was . .'...'. THE GREAT LABOR DEMONSTRATION on July 5, in Union square, in favor of Glad stone and Parnell during the parliamentary election. I confess it did uot occur to me that any one would at that late date bold me bound by the voluntary promise I had made three or four years before, since Home itself had been forced to change its attitude toward the Irish question, and since Archbishop Cor rigan had at last deemed it politic no longer to oppose the movement in aid of the land of his parents. The archbishop's letter does not deprecate interference iv politics in gen eral, and it does make express mention of Henry George. All this appears clearly from the letter itself, which is as follows: New York, Aug. 21, 1836.—Reverend Dear Doctor: (The introductory paragraph alludes to some of the priests of St. Stephen's chinch attending the ecclesiastical retreat, to which I also had as usual been invited.) During the retreat I hope you will think over your relations with Henry George (according the newspaper reports) and I could feel much j easier in conscience if you would leave aside j anything that may be not unto edification in j the Catholic priest. 1 mean anything that I would seem even to coincide with socialism. I I am, dear doctor, very faithfully yours, M. A. Corrigan. besides the hint given in the above letter of the archbishop, I j received intimations coming from his inti- I mates that there was clanger of a serious col- | lision between the authorities of the diocese j and myself because of ray advocacy of the ! doctrines of Mr. George. Then follows an account of the interview j between Henry George and Archbishop i Corrigan, which Mr. George considered fruitless, receiving the information that the i archbishop's council was determined to sus- ' pend McGlynn, having forbidden the latter j attending the Henry George meeting. He | says of his action: I felt it my duty to disregard this prohibi tion and on the day of the meeting sent the archbishop a letter which I can «>t now find, ; in whicli I said as 1 bad ma»lc _ c engage ment before receiving his letter and had been very extensively advertised to speak, my fuilure to keep the engagement would precip itate M9H A rUBLIC SCANDAL ; and be of grave injury to the cause, and would be in the nature of a breach of con tract which I did not feel at liberality to make and something- very different from what it would have been if I had simply declined when invited to attend tbe meeting; that 1 therefore thought it better to keep my en gagement while assuring him that I would respect his prohibition during the remaider of Mr. George's canvass. His suspension occurred next day. Then follows the correspondence during the Geortre campaign, most of which was given in the statement of Archbishop Corrigan. It includes a note from the archbishop in closing the second command of Cardinal I Simeon! for Dr. McGlynn to _ro to Rome, j and a request from the archbishop that he | indicate definitely whether he intended to obey the summons. Dr. McGlynn com plained that his answer to this demand was garbled. Dr. McGlynn gives the TEXT OF THE REPLY, himself omitting, as will be seen, some of his reasons furnished in it for not obeying the mandate of the propaganda: Most Rev. and Dear Archbishop: I find that I shall not be able to go to Rome. There are several personal reasons, any one of which must be sufficient. I have had reason to feel concerned about my health for some time, aud my physician orders me not to un dertake the journey. (Here follows other reasons.) You have not told me why I am summoned to Rome, but lean gather [ from your telegram to tne Tribune that it is | because I am an advocate of certain doc- I trines about the ownership of laud. This I can gather also from your letter to me just before j ou procured the telegram from Rome. You said in that letter that the result would have been more satisfactory if in my card to the Trjbune I had related the latter portion of the Tribune report,tin which I had been made to reaffirm the said doctrines about laud. As I CANNOT CO TO ROME to give an account of my doctrine about laud, I would say that I have made it clear in speeches, iv reported interviews and in pub lished articles, and I repeat it here: 1 have taught and shall continue to teach in speeches and writings as long as I live, that land is rightfully the property of the people I'll common and that private ownership of land is against natural justice, no matter by what civil or ecclesiastical laws it may be sanctioned, and I would bring about instantly, if 1 could, such change of laws all the world over as would confiscate private property in laud without one penny of com pensation to tiie miscalled owners. In the archbishop's published statement he gives only the latter portion of the letter be ginning with the words, "My doctrine about land," etc. The reader may well wonder that the archbishop while stating that I said I could not go to Home, suppressed all of the reasons which I gave for my inability to go, and also the .reason which I gave for re affirming my doctrinal position. Dr. McGlynn concluded as follows: Reaffirming what 1 said in my letter to the archbishop sent by the hand of Henry George that in becoming a priest 1 did not evade the duties nor surrender the rights of a man and a citizen. 1 DENY THE RIGHT of bishop, propaganda or pope, to punish me for my actions as a man and a citizen iv the late municipal canvass, or in other political movements. I deny their right to censure mo or to punish me for my opin ions on political economy, unless they can show that these opinions are clearly contrary to the teaching of the Christian religion. This they have not shown, and I know that they cannot show it. 1 bave not appealed to Rome for the judgments of the 'archbishops, and 1 have no desire to do so. 1 deny the right of bishop, propa ganda or pope to order met to Rome. The vow , of obedience of the priest, of which so many absurd things have been said within the last few weeks, is simply a promise to obey the church authorities in matters concerning the ' priest's duties of rel gion. It were monstrous to imagine tbat this promise has not clear ] ana '• well-defined limitations. My obliga tion, taken as a student of the , propaganda, was not, as some seem to im agine, to go wheiever and to do whatever ' that institution should see fit to command, but simply to return to my native place and ! th.re devote myself to the MINISTRY.OF RELIGION. In an interview published in the World dur ing the late municipi.l canvass I took occa sion, from Monsiguor Preston's political let- ' ter, to admonish him and other ecclesiastical dignitaries of the grave danger of re- , peating the folly and the shame of condemning scientific truths as religious heresy—a shame and a folly of which their ' predecessors had teen guilty in the condem- < nation, of Galileo and and Copernicus. It ] seems that they are fated to repeat t this crime and blunder and to add another to the many reasons i that have made men look upon ecclesiastical authority as one of the greatest foes of scien tific progress, of national development and of 1 rational liberty, and in large part a binder ance, rather than a help, in the way of j bringing to tbe > whole world the light, that purity and the comfort that come from . the teachings and the miuistrations of ] Christ."

Paris. Victorious Abyssinians — Suppress ing Reports of Scandalous Divorce Cases. London, Feb. 3.—ell's malady is reported to be Blight's disease and it is im probable that he will be able to stand the strain. In the event of his enforced retire ment Healy will probably succeed him in the leadership of the Irish party. A FINANCIAL I-A NIC. It Sweeps Over the European Bour ses With Cyclonic Effect. London, Feb. 3.—The panic on the stock exchange set in with the greatest force in the afternoon. Earlier in the day the English buying met the continental rush to sell but later the alarm seized the English operators, and the tor rents of sellers became so great that dealers refused to make prices. The wildest ru mors were credited and the best home and foreign securities were largely sold. Busi ness continued active in the street until the petite bourse quotations were received, which showed that the panic was intensify ing on the continent and caused depression. The reckless selling of/railroad securities was partially checked by New York buying. Besides English orders, Berlin ami Paris threw large masses of stock on the market. The day. declines include the following: Central Pacilic and Wabash general mort gage 2y; Atlantic first mortgage 2%; Wa bash preferred 1%; Denver preferred 1%; Union Pacific 1}:,; Louisville & Nashville 1%; Ohio & Mississippi 1%; New York, Ontario <_ Western, and Lake Shore %; Grand Trunk seconds3J£. Grand Trunk thirds 1%. In English railways Great Northern fell 5}.;, and Chatham seconds 5. Taken altogether it was the worst time the stock exchange has seen for many mouths. AT PABIS. Paris, Feb. 3.—The bourse opened de pressed. Besides political rumors and gen eral financial mistrust, the suspension of all credit made the transaction of business almost an impossibility. The members "Coulesse" practically refused credit deal ings and last prices, therefore in many in stances, are nominal. Italian rentes were largely offered, but found few buyers. After the official hour they were nominally quoted at 90.10. against 93.40 yesterday. Three per cent, rentes for money fell 2 '* francs and 90 centimes, and for account 2 francs and 50 centimes. Credit Foncier is down to 75 francs, and Suez canal shares to 8T francs, Ottoman bank 17 francs, Pan ama canal 7 francs 50 centimes. Tho r«i opinion prevails that unless the banks and great capitalists come to the relief of the market disastrous failures are inevitable. Victorious Abyssinians. Paris, Feb. 3.—The Kepublique Fran chise publishes a dispatch from Suez, which states that in the battles between the Abyssinians and Italians, near Massowah Jan. 25 and 26, the Abyssinians captured all the guns possessed by the Italians. It also says that of the 480 Italians engaged in the tight not more than fifty escaped. The dispatch says the Italians evacuated all the advanced positions. The Abyssinians have ah eady attacked and carried the first line of Italian entrenchments around Mas sowah. The latter success was achieved by the Abyssinians the day after the de struction of the Italian forces in the field. w The latest intelligence indicated that it was ' doubtful whether they would be able to hold out at Massowah until the arrival of reinforcements. Rome, Feb. 8. — The chamber of depu ties discussed the bill submitted try .he gov ernment for a credit of 500.000 francs to aid in sending reinforcements to the Italian garrison of Massowah. Deputies Massi and Cosca, members of the extreme left, op posed the policy of the government, and urged the recall of the troops from the Sou dan. Signor Spavento. a member of the right, moved to vote the credit without delay, and inquire,into the conduct of the ministers afterwards. The geneial discus sion then closed, and an excited debate on the clauses of the bill followed, the ex tremists demanding that the ministry re sign. The house then adjourned. The ! 2 ministry is confident the credit will be voted by a large majority. Divorce Case Reports. London, Feb. 3.—Matthews, home sec retary, stated in reply to intern.tratories in the house of commons this evening, that the government is unable to interfere with newspapers to prevent them from publish ing details of divorce proceedings unless special power was conferred on the gov ernment by legislature. The presiding judge of the divorce court. Matthews added, hopes to be able to deal with the subject by a rule of court checking the publication of the more offensive details of the testimony without impairing the publication of proper reports. Episcopal Brotherhood. London, Feb. 3.—The Times, com- . menting on the Arch Bishop of Canter- . < bury's intention to hold a memorial service in Lambeth palace to-morrow, to commem orate the consecration there in 1757 of the first bishop of the Episcopal church in America, and his invitation to two Ameri can bishops to take part therein, says: "The affection which this service implies between the two branches of common stock is deep and strong, in .spite of any temporary estrangement or effort of the anti-English faction in America, and we rejoice to think that this affection grows deeper and stronger with the lapse of time." Preparing tor War. Berlin, Feb. 3.—There is a report on the bourse that the German government will contract for a loan of 875,000,000 for '. military purposes. Brussels, Feb. 3. —The Belgian gov ernment, it is expected, will demand of the chambers an appropriation of 80,000,000 francs for military purposes, one-fourth for the purchase of rifles. Bucharest, Feb. 3.—The chambers have voted a credit of 51.000,000 to enable the government to complete the military preparations. St. Petersburg. Feb. 3.—The French government has made large purchases of Russian oats for the use of the French cav alry, and has chartered a number of steam ers to convey them from the Baltic ports to France. Greece. Athens, Feb. 3.—King George opened parliament in person. In his speech be said that the present foreign relations of Greece were normal, and on this account the state was enabled to attend to its home affairs. He urged the adoption, however, of such financial measures as are necessary to preserve the honor and guard the pres tige of Greece, "now." he declared, "more than ever indispensable to Hellenism." Irish Notes. Dublin, Feb. 3.—The Limerick munici pal council has refused to celebrate the queen's jubilee on the ground that the queen has visited Ireland only twice and never assisted Irish charities. Michael Davitt and wife arrived here this evening and were enthusiastically received." Thej were escorted to a hotel by a torchlight pro cession aud bands of music. A Fierce Vale.
