8om lnivt jrtijwtM'il that wo have nn
edueatUuml qualification. They nn
coming to us fioinCalholio lands, Mum
who ckiiiiol road or writo. They can
scarcely learn our lunirungo, so that to
day New York and Chicago have in
them forcijrn qrartors, practically no,
where 1 ho lunjjiunfo and customs arc
taught. Over In lioslon hint year then
was a convention of French Cat hoi leg
and thin was one of the mottoes over
the speaker's chair: "Wo arc French
men ilrst and Americans afterwards,"
and all over tho country that in their
practice. Over in WiscoiiHin there isn
whole county that lms not any Ameri
cans in it. The land in all owned and
controlled by foreigners and the spirit
of tho people is hostile to the institu
tions of this land. I think then that
tho suggestion that we have an educa
tional quulilleation is a good one, for a
man who cannot read nnd write cannot
bo aHHlmilated into our national life,
An educational qualification has a true
American ring to it I am sure.
And then they talk about a property
qualification. They say no man should
bo allowed to come to this country who
cannot bring with him one hundred
dvllu.ru; I think that is what they sug
gest. I think all things considered, there
should be such a condition. I think
tho man who comes to our shores should
have e.iough money to keep soul and
body together until ho can get somo
work.
But thero i one condition, one quali
fication which, I think ought to bo em
phaslzod. Tho saloon keepers of this
country are largely of foreign birth.
We could crush tho saloon power out of
this country if It were not for tho
foreigners. Saloons bring misery and
want to tho homos of the ieople, If it
were not for the influence of tho for
eigners, tho native born would crush it
out. Wo are told that sixty-three per
cent, of the saloonkeepers of our hind
were born across the sea. We are told
that twenty per cent, of the remainder
were born of parents born across the
ea, so that eighty-three per cent, of
all tho saloonkeepers in our country
wore either born across tho sea or their
Tiuronts were born thero. Ho there
should bo a condition imposed upon
every man that comes to our shores
from other lands that ho will not en
gage in tho manufacture or sale of In
toxlcatlng liquors, and a violation of
V that condition should bo sufficient to
send him back to the land from whence
i he came, If such a law were enforced,
the saloons would not have so many
patrons.
No man should be admitted into our
country who is a drunkard or who
drinks, If a man does not love our
country and our institutions better
than ho loves drink, ho should not bo
allowed to come.
Immigration must bo restricted.
How to do it is tho problem. We need
an educational qualification and we
need a property condition. Wo need a
restriction regarding tho sale of opium
and intoxicants, We have enough
drunkards on thissldo of tho sea now
and wo could well spare ourselves any
addition to tho number. This, in brief,
is tho situation today. There are com
ing every year six hundred thousand
people from other lands. A largo per
cent, of thewo como from Catholic
lands. A large per cent, cannot read
and write, A largo per cent, como
with principles hostile to our institu
tions, A largo per cent, settle in
"quarters" in our cities to become
foreign colonies. Wo need to been our
guard. We must not overload tho life
boat. Wo must not undertake to save
too many for "If any provldo not for
his own, and specially for those of his
own house, bo hath denied the faith
and is worse than an infidel." As citi
zens, then, of this country, wo must
provide for our own. We must protect
ourselves, for in protecting our own and
providing for our own wo will do tho
greatest gcxid to our enterprise and
make America what sho is destined to
become, tho light of tho world in tho
years that are to como.
The Bernalillo Indian School.
This is, or was, an Indian contract
school. It Is in charge of tho Catholic
sisters of Lorctt. Sister Margaret is
in charge, and is the teacher in the
primary grade. It is sho that is re

downright fn.l htuxl nml nliln'ry of
tin guvenilHelit
For i nample, Iheiv wen Islne Moul
can girls from the village of IWimllllo
Itlf, of whom two were reimrtnl u
Navajok, and wven as I'm blon, Thero
were two ivHrti d a Attchi( when
theiv wan not one Apache in the whool.
Thnni girls were reHirted as Pueblos
from Snn Juan. With gnat ditlleulty
the insHctor found tho paiviits at las
Couees, 3-i miles away, whera they
had always nslded. Kleven girls were
reported from CiHhili, but there was
not one from that place. One girl,
Henlgno Ziunora, was put down as from
Sum) in, but her home wasat Hernalillo,
only a quarter of a mile from the
school. When her father was told by
the inspector that sho was reported to
the government, and paid for as a
Pueblo Indian, ho was very indignant,
and said that ho and his wife were
pure Mexicans, and that three years
ago, after tho death of his wife, the
sisters had persuaded him to let them
have his daughter and they would
raise tho child for him. One girl was
reported as from San Felipe. The in
spector could not find her parents liv
ing thero, and went to tho school, and
in the presence of two of the sisters,
asked her where her parents lived.
Sho looked at the sisters and ono of
them said "San Felipe," urid she re
peated it after her. Her parents had
lived in Bernalillo for seven years,
having como thero from Mexico.
Tho deception was not only taught as
well as practiced in this case, but was
observed in the examination of tho
scholars by tho inspector. Tho char
acter of the teaching was very poor, as
may bo judged by this report. Tho
Inspector attempted to test the scholar
ship of the pupils in the advanced
grade. He put a row of figures on the
blackboard and asked the scholars how
the points shoufd bo placed for numer
ation. The sister in charge stood bo
hind him and took hold of her beads,
and was soon by two Inspectors to
divide them into threes, to help tho
girls. Ho put twenty of the younger
girls in a row and asked how many
would bo left if flvo should bo taken
away, ine sister standing benlnu him
lifted up her two hands, with out
stretched fingers, and then held up
ono hand, clearly Indicating tho num
ber. Several times tho pupils wero
thus helped with fingers or beads. On
such reports as this tho contract was
annulled. Wo suspect that if tho teach
ers had been men and Protestants they
would have been arrested and Impris
oned for fraud on the government.
We hope to learn what the ecclesi
astical authorities will do about such a
case as this. The honor of the church
is at stake, There aro half a dozen
sisters in that school, besides tho priest
and bishop who are over thorn. Many
people must know of this fraud, Some
ought to denounce and punish it. Least
satisfactory of all would be a defenso of
it. Tho inspector reports that when
he made complaint to tho sister in
charge she replied that they had given
satisfaction for seven yoars, and that if
tho government was not satisfied and
would not pay thorn, their Catholic
friend would. N. Y. Iwhimuhnt,

. .
They are Here Now.
Bishop New man (Methodist) in a
recent sermon said, among other
things: "Homo Iniing Immutable, It
proposes to establish its government
in this country."
Tho AVin H'oWif, the organ of the
Homlsh Archbishop of tho provlnoo of
Illinois says: "ProjHises to establish!
Why, good sir, its government is estab
liHhed hero, and has been established
hero since a period long prior to the
birth of MetliodlHin, or of its founder
Look around you, good bishop, and seo
all tho Catholic churches, and Catholic
colleges, and Catholic parochial schools,
and Catholic convents, and Catholic
academies, and hospitals, and asylums,
and homes and then talk of Home's
proposing to establish its government
here! Look around this ono city of
Chicago, good bishop, and count the
evidences of Home's government here;
you will see them on all sides of you
And look over tho country, in whatever
direction your eyes turn, and you will
seo similar evidences of tho establish
ment of Homo's government hero.
Thero Is a cardinal archbishop in Bal
timore, and there are thirteen other
archbishops; and thero aro seventy or
more bishops, with over five thousand
priests and ten or twelve millions of
Catholic lay people. And yet you
speak of Home proposing to establish
its government hero! You had better
be honest with yourself, sir, realize tho
foot, the situation as it is, take into
your inner heart that Home's govern
ment is established here."

J. liingherty of Illinois, ap'siimo, dur
ing Mr. HarriMin's ndmintHtrMiton, Jiiiia
S. IMKI, stands on tho record as consul.
Him aro under him six consular
agencies, tho occupants of which po
sitions are doulitliws merchants of tha
country who aro paid by fees, and these
flics seem to lie very small, inasmneh as
only two make any returns at all to the
department of fivs collected and those
returns are under fl'5 a year. Probably
many of them are native Peruvians,
though the names of some of them indi
cate the contrary. Whether
Tlifl Out rKi Coliiplitlnitil (If
occurred at ono of tho small agencies
or at Calhio, no one at the department
can determine from the telegram, but
inasmuch as it comes from Lima, the
impression prevuils that the scene of the
outrage was at one of the interior points.
This impression is further strengthened
by tho knowledge in tiie dapartment
that in many cases where tho natives as
sault the sub-consulate, the trouble is
due, not to any antagonism of the coun
try represented, bnt to prejudice and
ill feeling against the representative
personally. This is no uncommon oc
currence in South America or other
parts of the world, where the acts of the
American consular agents are rosented
by the people who would respect the
acts of a citizen of the United States
duly appointed to a full consular posi
tion. Intruotd to 1'riilent.
After consultation with President
Cleveland, Secretary Ureshara this
