The resolutions set forth that Catholics
claim to be acquainted with the laws and
spirit of both the church and country and de
clare that there Is nothing antagonistic In
them, and continue: We repudiate the as
sertion that wo need to lay aside devotion to
our church to be true to our country or to op
pose any institution of the nation to be good
Catholics. But we cannot shut our eyes to
the many things that threaten those institu
tions. Although wealth has greatly increased,
we find incipient pauperism and men, women
and children without the advantages of edu
cation and religion. Remembering tho dis
tinction between paganism and Christianity
and those things that advance Christianity
We favor measures by which these are to be
secured. We recognize education as one of
the chief factors and recommend popular ed
ucation with moral training for our youth.
Hut as in the state schools no provision is
made for religions training we must continue
our system so that the benefits of Christian
education may be given to all the Catholic
children in the United States.
Tho Evils of Divorce.
The resolutions then inveigh against divorce
as bringing ruin and disgrace upon the peo
ple and threatening the morality of the whole
country.
On societies the report holds that it is not
sufficient for Catholics tc shun had societies,
they ought to take part in good ones. Con
cert of action is necessary to accomplish
much and societies must not form on race or
nationality basis. The plan and form of St.
Vincent de Paul society is recommended as a
typical society. Extension of societies is
recommended to relieve widows and orphans.
Another danger menacing the republic is
constant conflict between capital and labor
and it is with feelings of regret that the an
tagonism between labor and capital Is wit
nessed, for it imperils society. We condemn
nihilism, socialism and communism, and we
equally condemn the heartless greed of capi
talists. The remedy for trouble between
labor and capital must be sought in the
mediation of tho church by its action on the
individual conscience and in such civil en
actments os are necessary. Tho paramount
right of labor to organize societies for its
protection and benefit is recognized. Toe
employment of very young minors is disap
proved. ,
Aid of the Laity Invoked.
The laity Is invoked to aid the clergy in all
educational, economical and social questions,
protest against change in the policy of the
government fn the manner of educating the
Indians by which they will be deprived of
Christian teachings, deep interest in
the negro race and pledge to assist tho vlergy
in the reformation of their condition. Ad
ministration of the rites of tlie Catholic
•church is demanded for inmates of penal and
other public institutions.
Alliance should be sought with non-Cath-
oiics in bringing about better observance of
tho Sabbath. Sunday liquor selling is exco
riated and the passage of a law forbidding the
sale'of intoxicated persons is urged.
They extol the Catholic press, and hope for
the establishment of Catholic dailies in the
large cities and a Catholic united press; ex
press a desire for proper devotional church
music.
The Holy See.
The section on the holy sec Is as follows:
We are convinced that tho absolute inde
pendence of the holy see is equally indispensa
ble to.the peace of the church and welfare of
mankind (great applause), and demand in the
name of nature,humanity and justice that this
freedom be scrupulously respected by all secu
lar governments. We protest against the as
sumption by any sueh government of the
right to control the action of the holy father
the pope by any form or public act without
having first obtained his free and full consent
and a probation. Wo pledge to Leo XIII the
loyal sympathy and aid of all his spiritual
children in vindicating his right to inde
pendence.
Chicago Cet- : llie International Congress.
Tlie <:cmmittce on future congresses,
it was explained by Mr. Onahan, of
Chicago, had held ua meeting, there
fore would not report at this congress.
Mr. Oral an moved that an international
congress be held in 1892 in Chicago.
Mr. Campbell, oi.' New York, said the
internationa congress should be held in
the city where the world’s fair is held.
Onahan accepted the amendment, for
he said the world’s fair was to be held
rains in the season of blossoming. Ten
nessee reports injury to the crop by wot
weather, lack of cultivation and early
frosts during the past month. In these
states the crop is much worse than that
of last year.
Elsewhere the crop is comparatively
late, especially from South Carolina to
Alabama, with large growth of .weed.
Manhattan, Kan., has a missing county
treasurer, James Fortmer, and a safe which
can’t be opened, from which $30,009 is sup

The Fan-American excursion wound up at

In lowlands early frosts have injured
the orops east of Mississippi, while the
uplands in the southern belt are still

large portion of the area, there has

The weather for picking has been re
markably, assuring the gathering with
out waste of all that is opened in excel
lent condition. The fiber is grading
comparatively high.
_ Notwithstanding the rough condi
tions arising from abnormal distribu
tion of moisture, affecting cultivation,
growth and fruitage, the indications of
yield per acre by county correspondents
are 3 per cent, higher'than last year.
So niuoh sail depends on future killing
frosts and sunny ueather for opening

ner circle of District Assembly 49,
Knights of Labor, as “Billy Brown, of
Baltimore,” died Monday night. Horan
was once a formidable candidate against
Powderly for general master workman
of the Knights of Labor. He had all
the radical element witn him. Tlie ele
ment declared war upon Powderly and
formed the home club. Horan was one
of the best known men of the knights.
He went everywhere wh^ve workingmen

Vienna.
by the Women’s
Temperance Union.
Chicago, Nov. 14.—The feature of the
day in the Women’s Christian Temper
ance Union convention was the discus
sion of the non-partisan amendment to
the constitution presented by Mrs. Fos
ter, of Iowa. It was rejected amid
great excitement and some bitter feel
ing was aroused.
A number of interesting addresses
and reports were read. Mrs. S. A. Mo*
Clees, of New Jersey, who read the re
port on “soldiers and sailors” announced
that President Harrison had just sent
out an order forbidding the sale of
liquor by settlers in military camps.
Tlie convention adopted a vote of thanks
to Gen. Schofield and Gen. Howard for
the example of total abstinence set by
them for their inferiors.
The majority report from the com
mittee on resolutions was presented to
the convention. Touching the non-
pai-tisan question it reads as follows:
“We believe it is vital to the temper
ance reform that the principle of pro
hibition be made the dominant issue in
American politics. We therefore give
our approval to that party only which
declares in its platform for prohibition
in state and nation and stands in action
for its application to law. ”
A minority report was brought in by

Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 14.—Two hundred
delegates were in attendance when th»

ladies, Mrs. Stevens, of Ohio; Mrs. Barry
in charge of the women’s department;
Miss Elizabeth Donohue, of New Jersey,
and Mrs. Catharine Iviern, of Indiana.
-After preliminaries the following tele
gram was unanimously adopted and

D, Chicago. Ills.:
General assembly Knights of Labor, now in
session here, extend to National Women’*
Christian Temperance Union fraternal greetr
ings with cordial good wishes for tho con
tinued sucoess of the great work for mankind
in which your organization is engaged.
T. V. Powderly and John W. Hayes.
An invitation was formally tendered
to President Livingstone, of the Georgia
alliance, to address the convention.
This seems to indicate that tho knights
want an expression of opinion from the
Farmers’ alliance as to the proposed
federation with the Knights of Labor.
The remainder of the session was de
voted to routine business.
A minority report was Drought in by
Mrs. Mattie Bailey, of Iowa, which' de
clared it unjust and unwise for the .or-
only
gates. The majority report was
adopted by an almost unanimous vote.
The ~Towa delegation bolted the con
vention.

in the penitentiary after serving One month
of a twenty-year sentence for murdering* his
aged wife. At St. Louis Engineer Robinson
suicided because’to£ incurable grief for his
wife, who died five years ago.
Secretary Rusk is the most eccentric mem
ber of the cabinet. He is thoroughly demo
cratic in his tastes and there is an under
current of hostility between him and the
aristocratic secretary of state. Blaine and
Rusk are about as different in tastes and
habits as two men could be, and, it is
rumored, they are very sarcastic toward
each other at cabinet meetings. Mr. Harri
son’s sympathy seems to bo with Rusk.
The claim of one Beauliew, at Quebec, to
a share in the $1,000,000 estate left by his
great grandfather, CoL Alex. Frazer, de
pends upon the question whether the forced
marriage of CoL Frazer to ah Indian girl,
Angeliqne Meadows, in the northwest, in
1188, to save his life according to tho Indian
customs was legal or not. Col. Ffazer lived
with the Indian woman for years and- ac
knowledged her as his wife. A former court
decision was that the marriage fiad not been
proven. ' : ' ■■ ■ 1 .
so that the moment the umpire de
livers the new, or alternate ball, it
should immediately come into play;
that is, the pitcher must not throw it to
a baseman or discolor, as has been the
custom, by rubbing it in the dirt. It is
a change to prevent unnecessary delay
in the game.
Rule 25,-section 8, as amended, pro
vides that a game shall be forfeited If a
side fails to resume playing within one
minute after play has been called by the
umpire when a game has been sus
pended.

changed so as to allow the names of two
extra players to be placed on the score
card instead of one as heretofore. It
also allows a club to substitute an extra 1
player at any stage of the game.
Rule 47, section 4 (returning to bases)
as changed provides that a base runner
shall return to his base and shall be en
titled to so return without being out if
the person or clothing of the umpire in
terfere with the catcher or is struck by
a ball thrown by the catcher to inter
cept a base runner.
Rule 48, section 12 (when base runners
are out) is altered so as to prevent
double: play when a base runner is struck
by a fair hit ball before it touches

Rule 52, section 1 (power and juris
diction of the umpire) is amended by
tlie addition of the following phrase
The umpire must invariably be ad
