Archbishop Satolli'a most important
errand has been to settle the heated con
troversies raging about the school ques
tion. He has communicated to the Cath
olic archbishops an eminently wise and
reasonable pronnnciamento. It distinct
ly acknowledges the educational func
tions of the state and approves the Amer
ican public schools. In practical effect
this letter makes it permissible for Cath
olic parents to act upon their own judg
ment in selecting schools for their chil
dren. It merely insists that the parents
and priests should see tha^ Catholic chil
dren have regular religious instruction
outride of school hours if they attend
public schools. The “Faribault plan” is
fully sanctioned as an alternative. In
cases where parochial schools of as good
qnality as the public schools can be af
forded, and where local circumstances
make it appear that the public schools
are anti-Catbolic in tbeir influence and
teaching, the separate system is advised.
The archbishop has spoken with full
authority. It is a great victory for Arch
bishop Ireland and the patriotic Ameri
can wing of the church. Pope Leo and his
advisers have evidently mastered the real
situation in the United States. The holy
see has intervened in favor of American
Catholic parents, who can no longer be
restrained from sending their children to
the public schools. The Catholic clrarch
will be stronger by far when, in the spirit
A Common Word Jut Xow.
How do you pronounce the name of
the island kingdom which wants to be
annexed to the United States?” is a ques
tion frequently propounded and various
ly answered nowadays. The most com
monly accepted pronunciation, and the
one authorized by Lippincott's, Worces
ter's, Webster's and the Century dic
tionaries, is, for the name of the princi
pal island of the group, “Hah-wi-e,” the
second syllable accented, and the **i”
pronounced as in “pine.” The same ques
tion was once asked of a high caste Ha
waiian lady, well educated in her own
and the English language. She answered:
“The proper pronunciation is Hnh-
vah-e-e. There is no ‘w’ in^ur alpha
bet, and no letter nor combination of
letters which take the sound of ‘w* as

Cremation In Thin Country.
It is not every day that there are five
cases of cremation at Fresh Pond, but
the bodies of four men and one woman
were reduced to ashes in the furnace
there on Tuesday. The revival of the
ancient practice of cremation in our
times is a curious thing. We have not
yet seen the last year's reports of the
several crematories in the country, but
we believe that over 100 dead jiersons
were consumed in them during the year.
Nearly all of these persons, with the j
exception of the victims of cholera, j
who were cremated in our bay last I
autumn, had left order* or lia express- j
«d a desire that *the;r ^ lies s hould be !
thus disposed of. The most of tlmm had J
been agnostic s or atheists, and a few of !
them Theosophists. It is not to bo sup- j
posed that my of them, leaving ont the I
cholera stricken, had been believers in J
the doctrine of the resurrection of the j
body at the day of judgment, though of j
course cremation could not interfere
with any design of the Almighty.
We know of two crematories in Eng
land, and there are others in several of
the countries of continental Europe.
Should the cholera break out in England
this year it is probable that a number of
the municipalities will, in accordance
with advice given by tlieir health au
thorities, follow the example set by the
New York quarantine commission last
autumn and cremate the victims of - the
dreaded and infections disease.—New
York Sun.
President Harriiton's Plan*.
It is the present intention of President
Harrison to leave Washington for his
home in Indianapolis very shortly after
the inauguration of President Cleveland.
The oath of office is administered to the
president at the capitol at noon, after
which the new chief executive delivers
his inaugural address from the cast front
of the capitol building. General Harri
son intends to leave Washington on the
Pennsylvania limited express, which de
parts at 1:10 p. m., and to stopover Sun
day at Pittsburg, where he will be due
about 9 o'clock Saturday night. He will
arrive at Indianapolis about noon on
March G. He may change this pro
gramme, but he does not expect to do so
at ’this time, barring accident.
It was the original intention of Presi
dent Harrison upon his retirement from
office to finger in Washington over Sun
day and to arrive at Indianapolis during
the early part of the succeeding week.
But he is anxious to return to his old
home now that he sees the beginning of
the end, and having nothing of particu
lar interest to detain him here he has
determined to take his leave of the na
tional capital within an hour or two after
the inauguration of his successor.—Cor.

England** Vital Statistics.
The slow machinery of the English
government has just turned out the re
port of vital statistics in 1891. It ap
pears that the steady decline in the num
ber of early marriages which began in
1874*8till continues. In the latter year
84 in 1,000 bridegrooms and 227 in 1,000
brides were under 21. In 1891 only 5®
men and 190 women in 1,000 married un
der age. The odd fact also appears that
the proportion of Jews in the population
of England has more than doubled in 20
years, without counting immigration.
This extraordinary fecundity is quite un
matched by any other class in the pop
ulation.—Charleston News and Courier.
A Knife on Its Travels.
A huge knife, said to be oyer 100 years
old and resembling an ancient hay cut
ter, was presented to the postmaster at
Bangor, Me., just after the election. It
was labeled “Adlai's Ax.” Across the
blade in black letters were the words,
“The melancholy days have come.” This
was a grim joke ter, play on a Republican
postmaster, but he concluded to make
the best of it. He tagged it and started
it on a journey acrosstbe continent. At
last accounts it was at Marquette, Mich.,
’all covered with tags and the comments

ocratic guillotine passed oVer liis route.

I>reusing For Shoe*.
How difficult it is in winter to keep
one's feet even presentable in appear
ance! Sidewalks are sloppy, crosswalks
are muddy, and the air is so cold that it
hardens shoe leather until it is no unusual
thing for it to crack and become sorry
to look upon. Nothing can be done actu
ally to prevent the season from telling
upon the wearing qualities of shoes, but
a great deal can be done to prevent them
from becoming so badly injured as they
might otherwise be.
When shoes have become very muddy,
the worst of the mud should be knocked
off with a thin strip of hard wood, which
should he kept for the purpose. A very
stiff brush will then take off tire rest of
the dirt. Now, apply a dressing made
by mixing 2 drams of spermaceti oil, i
pint of vinegar, 3 ounces of treacle and
4 ounces of finely powdered ivory black.
Tlio vinegar should be added last. This
will make the shoes look almost as well
as they did before their rough treatment.

Improving the Ballot.
The Australian ballot system, while a
good reform in the main, has several
features which need amending before it
can be accepted as an almost perfect and
honest mode of voting. As it now stands,
thousands of voters have been disfran
chised by tlw* misapprehension of not be
ing allowed to stamp opposite a candi
date’s name after having once stamped
the party emblem. Let there be but one
way of voting, by stamping the square
by the side of each person that you wish
to vote for. A voter once instructed to
stamp the square to the left of each per
son that he wished to vote for will not
only not confuse, hut actually expedite
voting. Another feature of the law
which should be changed is the ease with
which a partisan board can throw ont
ballots as defective. As protection in
the right of voting is secrecy, so should
the ballot be protected after it is cast, so
long as the intent of the voter can be as
certained.—Noblesville Ledger.
