NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A fellow sisrninir himself
"Julius," writing to the Chicago AVir
asks if any of the popes were ever taken
prisoners, and if so, ty whom, to which
that journal replies: '"For about the
first 500 vearg of the papacy many of
the popes were martyred, so ucdoubt
edly they were tak.'n prisoners. Bui
betides these several popes were taken
prisoners in war or revolution. John
X. was taken prisoner by Guy, duke of
Tuscan, and put to death; John XI.
was imprisoned in the costlo of St.
Angelo, where he died; John XII. was
deosed and murdered; so was Benedict
VI. Boniface VII. Imprisoned John
XIV. John XVII. was expelled by the
German emperor. Boniface VIII. quar
reled with Philip the Fair, of France,
and was seized at Agana by Nogaret,
one of Philip's agents, and Seiarra
Colonna, the latterof whom even struck
him in the face. He was a prisoner for
three days, until the people of Agana
rescue! him, bu; he never recovered
from the shock, and died soon after
ward, October 11, 1303. He had im
prisoned his predecessor, Celestine V.,
who had resigned the papacy. In 1809
Gen. Rcdet, at Napoleon'? orders,
seized Pius VII. in the Quirinal, and
took him to Grenoble; after a time he
was taken to Savona and thence to
Fontainebleau. He was not set free
until 1814. Pius IX. was a virtual
prisoner in Home for a few days in
November, 1848, at the hands of the
Roman populace, and on November 24,
1848, he managed to escape to Gae'a,
where he resided for seventeen ninths.
Since 1870 Pius IX. and his successor,
the present ope, have considered them
selves prisoners in the Vatican.
AVe heard a gentleman declare
quite recently that young women were
fast driving men out of the branch of
business he had formerly found quite
lucrative, and accompanied his remark
with a reflection upon the chastity of
the women who were undermining men
and working for less wages. We do
not agree with him in his broad asser
tion. While we do not pretend to be
lieve that all women who do office work
or typewriting are paragons o virtue,
we do believe the vast majority of them
are eminently respectable. We believe
that the "respectable" strumpt is less
liable to be found as the associate of a
man in his office work than in almost
any other calling, for there she gets
right Into the home circle. The wife
meets her while visiting the office, and
the pure minded little children gradu
ally look upon their papa's amanuensis
as iust about the nicest and best young
lady in the city; and the man who
would permit either his wife or his
children to associate with a woman, in
his own effice, who was loose in her
morals would be worse than a common
procurer, because he would afford the
younger members of the family an op
portunity to jo unlady-like things be
cause such acts wera the counterpart of
the thinjs done by his clerk. What
she did would be, to by their untutored
minds, just exactly right. And some
men do these very things. Yet it was
not our intention to write a lecture upon
man's depravity when we began this
comment. Our idea was to show, in a
limited way, the extent to which wo
men are superceding men in the vari
ous walks of life. We have seen her as
fc a barber, lawyer, doctor, clerk, re
porter, stenographer, farmer, editor,
compositor, collector, book agent and
canvasser and an exchange sajsshe has
invaded the ; field heretofore held by
the commercial "drummer." In speak
ing of her entrance into that field our
contemporary says: "Women drum
mers are becoming more plentiful every
day, and they are successful, too. One
has but to go to the firms employing
these 'ladiesjof the grip' to learn that
their sales are equally as large as.if not
larger than thoso of the sterner sex.
This field for women Is comparatively
new, butj already so many bright anJ
clever young women have entered Into
it who have mat with phenomenal suc
cess it will not bo long until they stand
eqaal chances Jwith the 'knights' who
have for so long monopolize i this par
ticularly welLpaying business. And we
have not far to go in looking for a
reason for all this. In the first place, a
woman is bound to gain recognition,
simply because she is a woman, for it is
the hardest thing in the word for a man
to refuse a request made by a wo i an,
especially if the woman be young and
pretty. And before he knows it he is
placing an order. In many branches,
such as ..in selling corsets, waists, per
fumery, millinery, toilet articles, etc.,
a woman is in her element, and it is
Fcond nature for her to dilate and ex
pand on the salient features of such of
these articles as she may be selling.
As a rule, these ladies are quick at
repartee, brimming over with original
good humor and have a knowledge of
men's weaknesses. "Oh, yes; they have
come to stay,' said a drummer the other
day, 'and it will not be long before the
many men holding these lucrative posi
tions will be forced to look for other
employment. We'll not be 'in It' In a
short time. Why, I know personally
twenty women who are making more
sales and getting better salaries than I
am, and I have been in the business fif
teen years, and am traveling for one of
the largest silk houses in the country.
They are smart, far-sighted and quick
to read human nature, and every one of
them is a perfect lady. And, by Jove!

Tiik reverses which are being
experienced by many of our clli.' us
has stimulated a study of the financial
policy of tiio nation, in the 1hk; of dis
covering the real seat of theevil wni'h
has brought such wiJe-s:r ad d saster
upon the commonwealth. As i usually
the case, nearly every nvin you meet
has a panacea for the ills f LL. people.
Some believe in a single go d standard,
others that any kind of money, and
still others that the froe ai.u unlimited
coinage i f silver will bring relief. But
none of these would be of any real value
to the masse s. It makes no difference
how much money la coined or minted if
there is not some avenuo through
which it can be placed in circulation.
There is plenty of money now, but it is
hoarded by speculators and bankers,
and eople cannot get hold of it. Is it
not H)ssible that a corner could be
worked up on the silver and gold minis
of the country at any time, the output
stopped, and the people made to pay a
premium on something which they bal
been taxed to produce There seems
no way out of the trouble but to have
some other standard of valuesome
thing that will not fluctuate and which
cannot be cornered. What this stand
ard should be, we are not at this time
prepared to say, but there must be a
medium that is of value which is beyond
the power of a few men to control.
Apropos to what we have just written
we give a statement of the various
kinds of money in circulation January
1, 1895, which was published by the
Sound Currency Club of the Reform
Club, of New York City, having been
prepared by Richard P. Rothwell:
Gold The unit Is the dollar, weighing
25.8 grains, 0.900 fine (23.22 grains pure
gold). The multiples coined are the
quarter eagle, $2.50; half eBg'e, $5;
eagle, $10, and double eagle, $20. All
are unlimited legal terder. Gold bul
lion Is converted Into coin at the mints
free of charge, except for the alley con
tained therein. Silver The unit is
the dollar of 412 5 grains, 0.9O0 fine
(371. 25 grains puie silver), a ratio of
15.9884 to I of gold. Silver dollars are
unlimited legal tender, and are coined
In limited quantities only for govern
ment account lrom purchasing silver
bullion. Purchases suspended eir.ee
November 1, 1893. The subsidiary
silver coins are the dime, 10 cents;
quarter dollar, 25 cents; half dollar, 50
cents; weighing respectively 2 1 2, 6 1 4
and 12 1-2 grains, 0.900 fine, being
somewhat less in weight, proportion
a'ely, than the standard silver dollar.
Subsidiary silver coins are legal tender
to the amount of $10. It Is the declared
policy of the government to maintain
the parity in value of the coin of the
two metals. Greenbacks United States
notes, or "greenbacks," of which a fixed
amount, $340,081,010, remains outstand
ing the remnant of the forced paper
currency of the late civil war. These
notes are letral tender for all debts,
public and private, except duties on
imports and interest on the public debt.
Since 1879 they have been redeemable
In "coin" (gold), and when redeemed
are reissued. Treasury Notes United
States treasury notes of 1S90 $155,000,-
000 issued in payment for silver bullion
under the so-caikd Sherman silver
purchase act of 1890, legal tender for
all debts, except where ot herwise stipu
lated in the contract, and receivable
for all public dues. Redeemable in gold
or silver coin at the discretion of the
secretary of the treasury. The practice
is to redeem them in gold or silver at
the option of the holder generally
gold. Gold Certificates Gold certifi
cates in denominations of not less than
$20 are issued by the secretary of the
treasury, upon deposit of gold coin, to
be held in the treasury for the payment
of the same on demand. Though not
legal tender they are receivable for
customs, taxes and all public dues.
Silver Certificates Stiver certificates
issued against standard silver dollars
deposited in the treasury. They are
receivable for all public dues, but are
not otherwise legal tender, and are
issued in denominations of $1, $5 ai.d
110, as well as the higher denomina
tions. Currency Certificates Currency
certificates issued in denominations of
not letSjthan 15,000, upon the deposit
by national banks of United States legal
tender notes. National Bank Notes
National bank notes, issued by banks
under federal charter, upon deposit
with the treasurer of the United States
Umds, which are to be held as security
for the ultimate redemption of the
notes. Issue UmiUd to 90 per cent, of
the par value of the bonds deposited.
The notes are redeemed at a central
redemption agency In the treasury at
Washington, where each bank Is com
lulled to maintain a cash dcosit of 5
per cent, of its outstanding circulation.
No notes of lees denomination than five
dollars are permitted. The sharehold
ers in the issuing banks are individually
liable for all debts of the hank to the.
amount of their stock. National bank
notts are legal teudor in all payments
to any national bank In the system for
all puhlij dues, except duties on im
liorts, and In all payments by the
United States, except interest on the
publie debt, and in the redemption of
the national currency. State Bank
Notes Banks incorporated in many
of the states (mssoss the r ght to issue
circulating notes, but are practically
prohibited from bo doing by the 10 per
tvnt fedtral tax upon circulation other
than that of National banks.
The I'rottxfant (tlmervrr of
L ndoi, England is what its name would
Indicate as you will seo by reading the
following editorial from its column:
There can be no doubt that on Thurs
ay, Feb. llth, the English Church
Union made a "Day's March near
Rome" than ever was known before.
On that day Lord Halifax, President of
the English Church Union, went down
to Bristol, and delivered there a speech
to the local Branch of the Union, wnlcli
can be decided as nothing less than
traitorous to the Reformed Church of
England. It was practically a call to
the Church of England to surrender to
the cope on his own doctrinal terms.
His lordship did not ask Rome to give
up any of her official doctrines, and he
even went so far as to declare that the
pope's personal infallibility might be so
explained as to become acceptable to
the members of the English Church
Union. All that he asked for from the
pope wai a recognition of the validity
of Anglican Orders, and a few other
crumbs of Papal charity, In the form
of Jconcessions on matters of discipline.
These proposals remind us of the fa
mous siege of Derry. When the Pro
testant inhabitants of that besieged city
discovered that Luidy, governor of
Londonderry, was secretly negotiating
with their papal enemy to surrender
the city, the indignation of the people
knew no bounds, and Lundy only saved
himself from the punishment he de
served by a hasty (light. The city being
thus free from the traitor, the cry of "No
Surrender" whs faithfully adhered to,
until it was relieved. The discovery
of Lord Halifax's treacherous proposals
will, we trust, lead to a renewal of the
cry of "No Surrender to Rome." If the
president of the English Church Union
had been an officer of the British army,
and acted in a similar manner, he would
at once, after a fair trial, have been
drummed out of the army in disgrace.
The sad thing is that Lord Halifax
speaks as the representative of 4202
Church of England clergymen, includ
ing twenty-seven bishops. A conspir
acy to surrender our Protestant citadel
to,Rorr.e, when supported by such a
Urge number of bishops and clergy, is
altogether too formidable to be des
pised.
The presence of such a danger as that
just described constitutes a powerful
appeal to all true Protestants of every
denomination to band themselves to-
ether to resist the fix;. This can best
done by united efforts, though individ
ual exertion must by no means be neg
lected. There exists several Protestant
societies in the country, and every true
lover of reformation should feel it a
duty, in this time of danger, to join one
or the other of these organizations. It is
a time for teaching the people what
papal supremacy and tryanny really
mean. The story of the dark deeds of
the papacy needs to be told again, for
the nation is rapidly forgetting its his
tory of its crimes and persecution of
the Saints of God. Ministers of the
Gospel ought to take tlu lead in this
kind of warfare. They are the officers
of the church, and as such should al
ways be In the front of the battle, and
not as is too often the case leave the
privates to do the fighting, while they
stay at home at ease. The evidence
that Rome is the Babylon of the reve
lation cannot in these times be too fre
quently brought forward, both from
pulpit and platform; and it must be
pressed home on all that God's will is.
not that we shall reunite with Home
once more, but that we should ' come
out of her," lest we become partakers
of the terrible plagues that await her.
Thk Democrats nominated a man
named Wenter for mayor of Chicago.
He is a Protestant. The Romans put
him up because his candidacy would
split the Protestant vote.
MOMTOlt l TO It Ml IX.
Legislature of the Colony Will Itejcrt the
Instructions of the (Jtitcrnor tieiieral.
WiXNU'Kii, Man.. March 25. The
order of the governor general In coun
cil, calling upon the government of
Manitoba to restore to the Roman
Catholics their parochial or hi para to
schools reached the elty this morning.
It was addressed to the lieutenant gov
ernor and by him was transmitted to
the legislature, which was sitting in
readiness to receive it. The legislative
chandier was crowded with an intensely
earnest gathering when tho message
W.HH delivered. It whs a voluminous
document and reviewed all the evidence
taken bi fore tho privy council of Eng
land, which body declared that tho
Ca'holicsof Manitoba had a grievance
and that the government general in
council had the Hiwer and authority to
grant n dross by a remedial order. The
tenor and language of the order leave
no opening for compromise. It Is a
command to Manila ha to submit, and
plainly says th it if the legislature does
not (ley, the governor general, or more
accurately speaking, the dominion gov
ernment, will enforce Its authority. No
definite action was taken tonight After
the order had been read It was laid on
tL table for future consideration. That
the order will bo indignantly rejected
may be taken for cortain. Of tho forty
members of the legislature only four or
five will vote against tho rejection,
these four or five being Catholics and
representing purely Catholic constitu
encies.
Premier Greenwny being Interviewed
tonight said: "We earnestly desire to
act within the constitution, but let all
people know this trouble Is not of our
own making. We claim the right to
make our own laws, and this right wo
will not give up without a struggle
The governor general's order will he
rejected in Its entirety. A long step
will then have been made In the peril
ous journey upon which tho govern
ment at Ottawa has Bet out.
"The dominion parliament will then
be armed with jurisdiction to impose
upon Manitoba a law tq which an over
whelming majority of its people are
opposed. It will be wise for parlia
ment, as Mr. Gladstone once said, to
'think or ce, th ilk tf ice, think thrice'
before coercing a loyal and law-abiding
cc nmunity. Few in numbers though
tney may be, thty will never submit to
thii unjust coercion. This is a struggle
for our rights.
"We are a free people.
"We will not bj made slaves We
will not have the 1 iws which we have
passed deliberately and with full know-
edge of our own conditions destroyed
by a body of mea to whom these, condi
tions are unknown, acting without in
quiry and without adt quale considera
tion." A sensational feature of the trouble
today was the announcement that the
dominion cabinet, which has just passed
the remedial order, had appointed cne
of its own members, J. C. Patterson,
minister of militia, to take the place of
John Schultz as governor of Manitoba.
The object of this change is believed by
the Manitoba government to be that
dominion authorities want a man as
governor more pliable to their wishes
and who will unhesitatingly carry out
their mandate. Manitoba has always
contended that its governor should be
a Manitoba citizen, and this uulooked
for a :tion has only added fuel to the
flames.
Hugh Macdonald, son of the late
Canadian premier, Sir John Macdonald,
and a man greatly respected, published
an appeal for moderation, pointing out
the dangers of the situation. He pleads
that conflict be avoided and peace re
stored by some form of c m promise. It
is the first appeal of the dead premier's
son 'to be unheeded. The temper of
the people of Manitoba is now such that
only a courageous man would suggest
compromise.
Ottawa, March 25. The step taken
by the dominion government in passing
an order notifying the province of Man
itoba that It must give the Catholic
minority red re s in educational matters
is an important one as regards Canad'an
H)litics, being likely to bitterly accen
tuate religious differences in Canada.
Of the 5.000,000 people of the dominion
over 2,000,000 are Catholics. Because
of the large Catholic element there has
been more of less religious friction in
educational matters in every province,
the Catholics jealously watching the
right guaranteed to them in most of
the provinces of having state aided
separate (that is Catholic) schools.
However, the issue did not figure in
f deral politics until in 18!X) the pro
vince of Manitoba passed an act abolish
ing separate schools and making all
rate payers, whether Catholic or Prot
estant, taxable for a single system of
alleged non-sectarian public school.
The Catholic minority in Manitoba
first claimed the law to bo unconstitu
tional, but were defeated In tho courts
Then they claimed that though the
law technically might lie constitutional
it wan morally unju-it, and that under
tho federal constitution they had a
right to appeal to tho dominion govern
mont for redress against tho Protestant
majority In tho province. This claim
being submitted to tho law committee
of the Imperial privy conned In Eng
land was Indorsed as correct, and so
the dominion government had to go
Into the merits of tho question. The
hearing before a committee of tho
dominion government occupied tho past
week, several firstelass lawyers pre
senting the pros mid cons.
It whs fully understood, however,
that )K)litleal considerations would have
more to do with tho decision than legal
eloquence. Everybody knows that II
the dominion governments refused to
Interfere the ultra Protestants would
object. The Protestant press was largely
against interference with Manitoba's
"provincial autonomy," as the phrase
gocH (equivalent to "state rights" in
tho union), while the Catholic press has
lieen a unit In demanding that the
Manitoba minority he protected by the
U deral authority; otherwise, said they,
there was no safety for Catholics in
Canada
Tho key to the clamor In that every
one feels that as Manitoba goes in this
matter, so will go tho wholu Canadian
northwest, of which Manitoba Is the
gateway, and that as the northwest
gotta so In the next generation or two
will go tho whole dominion. Tho Cath
olic clergy are bound to make a big
fight now against giving up tho separ
ate schools.
The conservatives, through tho do
minion government, have declared In
favor of the Catholic contention. Un
doubtedly in tho coming general elec
tion they will be backed by tho majority
of the Catholic people of Canada. As
for the liberals, their course is not clear.
Their chief English party organs have
declared decisively against Interference
with Manitoba in any shape or form.
But the liberal leader, Mr. Laurior,
who Is a French Catholic, Is silent as
yet, and seems to be in rather a bad
position.
THE POPE AMI THE COL XT.
An Kalian Xiiblt'iiian Chats a Little About
IteligimiH and Other Things.
Among the guests of the Pax ton yes
terday were the Count and Countess
Valerio Antona of Italy. Insjeiking
to a World-Herald reporter concerning
Iih presence In the city, Count Antona
stated:
"My wife and I are not here for any
purpose s of business, but having a short
time lo devote to our own pleasure and
profit we are making a trip through
the country.
"In what light Is the Castellane Gould
wedding looked uon in Rally'' 1 know
the count slighily, having met him
while wo were touring in Africa, and I
cannot say that the marrls-ge is looked
upon with much favor in my country,
though I do not care to state for what
reasons. But international marriages
between the Italian nobility and Amer
icans are looked upon in g.-neral with a
great deal of favor in Italy. In fact,
all of tho American wives of the nobil
ity are received graciously by royalty,
and many of them are ladles in waiting
to tho queen, and the Italian people
have a great affection for Americans
and all that is American.
Among other things the count spoke
interestingly concerning 'he attitude
of the Italian p;oplo towards a new
pope in the event ef Leo's death. lie
said:
I have heard of tho illness of Poe
Leo XIII., and am of tl e opinion that
his death would excite e-onsiderable dis
cussion of a not toe) warm a nature be
tween the papacy and the quirinal.
Pope L o is not looked upon with very
great favor in Italy on account of his
stand In relation to affairs In France,
and the Italian people are beginning to
realize that church and state must re
main seperate, and are and have been
for some time past advocating a five
dom in religious bulicf and practice
which Pope Leo, in his austerity and
desire for supreme authority, has de
nied to them.
"I do not think that any of the trouble
which people of t lis country have an
ticipated will occur at the death of Leo,
will be realized in the Instalment of a
new )Kpe in the Vatican, and am of the
opinion that that will remain the papal
residence. As for an American pepe,
although thochamvs may be favorable
for his election, I think that he would
ne)t lie favorably received, 1 do not mean
this to apply to Italy for the feeling
there is decidedly favorable to an Amer
ican jwpe, because thty believe the
broadness of the mind and natural free
dom which exists in the minds of the
people of this country would exist in
the mind of an American pope. But
other Catholic countries would be prej
udiced against an American.
"In examining the papal horizon for
a possible aueeessor tt Po Ixh), I
would say that those at present In most
favor, and one of whom is mot likoly
to lo elected to fill tho papal chair in
the case of the death of Leo, are Car
dinal San Felloe, now of Naples, and
Cardinal Rufllno of Bologna, but of
course, this Is an Impression iiHin my
part."
Tho count has emulated tho example
of many of his brethren and married
an American lady, who, aside from be
ing prepossessing In appearance, is also
Intellectual. She wm a Miss Annt tto
Josef a llalllday of Detroit, Mlcb., and
is a writer t'f no moan renown. She is
at present engngi d In writing for "Out
ing," and has' leen a steady contributor
to tho New York paors, mid particu
larly to tho Century.
She Is now engaged In writing a work
upon Mexico which she Iihh entitled
"The Florence of Mexico," having
gleaned her material from a long ho
journ in Mexico as the special corres
pondent of the Chicago TIiiihs, Her
writings are published under tho na.no
Annette Josefa llalllday Antona. She
stated that she became acquainted with
her husband, tho count, while ho was
a member of the Italian legation to this
country. Sho also told with consider
able pride, though admonished not to
do so by her modest husband, that he
had boon a mi mber of the Italian lega
tions stationed at Tunis, Africa, Vien
na, Austria, and Berlin, Germany.

ItcIiglmiH Fanatic Causes a Itevidt Among
Ignorant Mexicans at Mulato.
EL Paho, Tex., March 25. Saint Ter
esa is again giving trouble to the Mexi
can government. "Teresa Doeovora"
was the tiause of a bloody revolt at Tom
ochlc about fourteen months ago, and
which resulted In the Mexican author
ities making the woman leave the coun
try. Sho crossed to Neigalos, Ariz.,
where, It Is clalmod by the Mexicans,
she performed wonderful cures. She
disappeared from Nogales and two
weeks ago made her appearance in the
village of El Pollvo and succeeded In
stirring up the people there. She was
arrested, but was released by a mob of
Infuriated people, who believed tho wo
man to le a saint and Inspired messen
ger from the other woeld, who had bten
sent among them tp relieve their Buf
fering. Four hundred armed men are
at Ei Pedivo, which faces the town of
Mulato, where the fight occurred. The
p ;ople are cra.y and say there Is no
government to respect except tho al
leged saint. United States and Texas
authorities have been appealed to for
aid to suppress this fanatical lunatic.
Trouble in Canadian Schools.
Minneai'OMS, Minn., March 24. A
social to tho Trihune from Winnipeg,
Man., says: Manitoba and the Canadian
north we.-t has reached the crisis in its
histeiry, and the storm which has been
hovering over the country so long Is
like ly to break forth before long. It is
a war so bitter that It may wreck the
confederation of the Dominion. The
Catholics are fighting for their pa
rochial schools with grim determina
tion, whlie the Protestant majority
with equal resolution declares tho
parochial schools, recently abolished by
act of the Manitoba leg'slature, shall
never be re-established. The excite
ment is intense tcday.
In the churches pro ichors confined
their remarks to the impending strug
gle, Protestant preachers warning
Protestants to stand linn, and the
Cathol ic clergj appt a' ing to their flocks
to rev ir give u;i the fight. The Orange
men are taking a hand in the struggle.
Major Stewart Mulvi-y, grand master
of the Orangemen, said: "It cost Can
ada $8,000,000 to subdue the half-breeds
on the banks of thi? Saskatchewan in
1885. How many millions will it take
te) make slaves of tho people of Mani
toba by subjecting them to the Catholic
hierarchy?"
A few men who foresee the conse
q lences are urging moderation, but the
spirit of the factions is now so fierce
and bitter that their counsels are un
