The Fate ol the Free Pass,
The passage of the inter-State oommerce
bill will settle the fate of the free pass.
This will give national and State ltepresen-
tativoe more time to devote to the business
of the people. The majority of the members
of Congress carry books loaded with free
Basses over railroads. This from a Wash
ington letter will illustrate it:
"DeOongresimen mak. many requMto forpasa-

Dr. UoGlynn, of St. Stephen Chnrch,
Now York, is very popnlar with his parish^

him say that his popularity is deserved,
fle is earnest, zealous, kind and affection

coming a partisan ot Henry Qeorge, and
then in strongly defying the commands of

It anil bo a nine deya' wonder. If Dr.

have to go, and his congregation will have
to behave or go after him.
It is not likely that they togethor will

this subject the New Yotk Herald aajs:
“Borne, however, will not allow lta policy
to be affected by a mass meeting in which
Protestants unite with Catholics to ercate a
thondcr storm. That la all leather and pru
nella. The laboring men'a organizations
have no eooleaiaatioal character or weight.
Their influence is rather political then
otherwise. It Is worse than folly, there
fora, for a political meeting to resolve that
tho Catholic Church shall change its
methods. If they will take oare of the In
termt* of labor the chnroh will teke oare of
-the interests ot religion.
“If Father McOlynn will go to Bomo he
oan do himself and the Catholicism of tho
-country an important service. Tbe Vatican
see* that American Caiholiclsm has aome
peculiar elements. Borne is ready to recog
nize the feet end to bend its polioy so fsr ss
practicable to tbe exiganclee of onr inde
pendent life. The Pope has shown bis
£995 will toward this country. He may
wonder what this great uprising of tbe
wags earners means. No one can give him
more or more accurate information thin
