t THE AMERICAN J t' s7 1. A CK0S1VS MIRUER. It Is Retailed by tbe Release of Nr. Thomas Uallagber. New York. Sept. 4 The release from Portland prleon of Dr. Thomas Gallagher, the Irish political prisoner, la likely to again re-op n that phae of the IrUh controversy that Is connected with the assassination ia Chicago of Dr. P. H. Cronln. Dr. Gallagher was one of the Irish-Americans sent to Eng land by the Clan-na Gael in 13S2. and whose identity was disclosed to the British police almost Immediately on their arrival, with the result that they were under lurvelllaoce until they committed some overt act, or the po lice could capture them wiih dynamite In their DObsesslon. Dr. Cronin was the chief of those In this country who Insisted that these men were betrayed irom this side of the water, and strong testimony In support of this posltl was given before the investigating committee that met in the Westmin ster hotel, New York, on July 30, 1889 It was also chareed by Cronln that Dr dallagher's family bai been allowed to suffer want and privation arter C arrest and conviction. Dr. Cronli .during the week of his murder was busily engaged upon a verbatim report -of this investigation, and it has been generally believed that those who took his life imsgined that he had tbe man uscrlpt on his person. It is still in ex lstence, however, and will cut consider able fia-ure In anv statements that Dr Gallagher may make concerning his alleged service. CRIPPLE CREEK MIMSti SEWS. Tb nmdnetlon of the Victor mine is r. running about 100 tons per day, three fourths of which is sent to the Florence Cyanide works and the balance to the smelter. The mine is developed by seven levels, the deepest of which Is 435 feet, the total depth ol the shaft being between 450 and 500 feet. Some if the richest ore ever taken from the mine is now coming from the fifth level asn feet south of the main snait. vear atro it was not thought it would pay to develop the chute south. There is still 500 feet south to travel in Victor ground c n this rich chute. The ore is full of svlvanite, not alone In seams, but the reck is impregnated with It and are roasting the gold bubbles out on all sides. Manager Cone says of the mine that wonderful revelations have been made during tbe present year, and what was classed as a good little mine twelve months ago now ranks as a whale. The Mount Rosa and BUtle Mountain tunnel will develop a hitherto practl cally unexplored territory, adjacent to the richest mines in the Cripple Creek district. It crosses under the town of Victor, and the last thousand feet penetrate Battle Mountain. The com nanv has taken leases on all of the ground in the line of this tunnel, so as to avoid any chance of litigation, ana have let a contract for a thousand feet of work, driving the bore, which is 6x7 feet in the clear, to George H. Bodfish, mining contractor, Colorado Springs. At 200 feet from the en trance the tunnel cut a vein of quartz four feet in width, giving values Trom 48 to $12 per ton, and the company has started drifts both ways on this vein. Ten feet further a small streak was cut which gives values of $40 per ton. The Gold Coin vein is the first known vein that the tunnel will encounter, and the contractors expect to cut it shortly. The tunnel is now in about 240 feet. The company is figuring with Contractor Bodfish for patting up a large air compressor plant that will be able to drive the tunnel 200 feet a month. Prominent Colorado Springs men are backing the enterprise. Among thera may be mentioned the George Seaver Brokerage Company, the Dorsey Investment Company, Col H. S. Ervay and D. Heron. Never in the history of the Crlppl Creek gold district were there made in the same length of time so many re markable discoveries of the precious metal as within the last two months. The recent strike in the Arcadia has proved a big bonanza; the develop ments in the Hillside are Bbewing ore bodies worth millions; it comes up out of the Ironclad four-fifths precious metal; the Granite Hill can show you two feet of $400 stuff, and the Orizaba is Midas' dream. The election to office of William Jennings Bryan, by divert ing to the silver camps 'the speculative money and money of the prospector, might give the district and its flourish' ing towns a temporary set back, but surrounded by such storehouses of wealth, the Cripple Creek district is sure winner, no matter what occurs. Notwithstanding failures In other parts of the country and the panicky feeling prevailing everywhere, the business of the Cripple Creek Gold Mining Stock Exchange is steadily on the Increase, with an upward tendency in the majority of the stocks quoted There are features, too, connected with operations just now that remind one forcibly of the lively times of last fall and winter. The big boom enjoyed by Ironclad last week has been succeeded by a similar one this week In Granite Hill, due to John Barber's remarkably rich find on the Granite Hill claim advanced six cents within two day and a number of other stocks took an pward shoot that promises well for the near future. The discovery of placer gold near the lower end of Grassy gulch bas aroused considerable Interest in that locality. Kllpatrlck and Williams, who were tbe contractors on the Alt- man pipe lne, ara credited with mak- ng the discovery. Some of the dirt was panned and the number of colors found convinced the contractors that mining would be profitable. There Is plenty of water to carry on the work successfully, and the gentlemen have begun putting in sluice, and will test the value of their discovery. In the early days of the camp placer mining was an Important industry, and much gold was obtained by this method, especially on the placers Immediately contiguous to the town of Cripple Creek. This same locality still affords a good Income to the comparatively few who are no working along that line, but Grassy Gulch It new territory for that kind of mining, and the development will be watched with interest. With Bull Hill rising to the south and Galena Hill to the north the locality is supplied with rich quartz leads, which according to the commonly accepted theorv form the original source of placer gold, no one would be surpri-ed If Grassy Gulch should prove a valu able repository for the precious metal. Seven sets of lessees are working on the Orphan Belle properties on Bull hill and all are getting some pay ore and have made shipments. Four steam hoists are at work on the ground and regular 6hioments are made by at - -e least four out o' seven sets of lessees. A consignment of three cars of high grade and one of low grade ore will be gent out today from the Munger lease on the Orphan Belle. The first grade will be sent to the Omaha and Grant smelter and will average from three to four ounces per ton. The low grade is ounce ore that will be sent to the Vic tor sampler. The best of the ore shows some free gold and svlvanite and comes from a three-foot vein which is now being drifted on at the 170 foot level. Eight men are employed on the Munger lease. At the Granville lease, the next lower down on the Orphan Belle vein, sinking is now in progress without ef fort to extract any ore. The shaft is down 80 feet and will be sunk to the 100 foot point when a crosscut will be run for the vein which dlpp3d out of the shaft. Manager tiranvuie says there is eight inches of ore along the hanging wall that is pretty good stuff and exhibited a piece of which be bad roasted, showing pla'nly that the yel low metal was there. The two steam plants on Maloney's lease are running along steadily. At the old workings sinking and drifting A 1.1 VI- are in progress, a cuuaiuertiuie amount of the vein has been stripped recently and tbe work of knocking down and hoisting the ore will begin today which will result in a good sized shipment this week. Work was resumed yesterday by contractors at the new shaft. The present depth is 110 feet and sinking will be continued 200 feet further as fast as the work can be done. A heavy flow of water has been encountered. About 25 men are employed by Mr. Maloney. Parrot, Kline and Willard are work ing the extreme lower end of the Or phan Belle and have gotten down 190 feet, following the vein on the incline. The vein is three feet wide and shows as much as 18 inches of ore in the lower levels. A small shipment was made recently and the returns were goodoenough to much encourage the lessees. At the Kelly and O'Brien lease on the Ida Belle several shipments have recently been made and the ore re timed from seven to nine ounces per ton. Work is being pushed and it looks as if a good mine would be de veloped. Wolcott and Hastaln on the Ida Belle have a 240 foot shaft and will sink an other 40 feet before drifting. Several shipments were made from the level at 140 feet, the ore being a fluorine quartz carrying some sylvanite. A State Within a State. The Catholic church is essentially a state within a state, with its frontiers, Its policy and its leaders entirely dis tinct from those of the nation, and it can command an enthusiasm and a de votlon at least as powerful and as wide spread as the enthusiasm of patriot ism. It claims to be a higher authority than the state; to exercise a divine and therefore a supreme authority over belief, morals and education, and to possess the right of defining the limits of its own authority. It also demands obedience even where it does not claim infallibility. Such an organization cannot be treated by legislators as If It were simply a form of secular opinion, and many good judges look with extreme alarm upon the dangerous power it may acquire in the democracies of the future, One of the facts which have been most painfully borne upon the minds of the more careful thinkers and studenU of the present generation Is, how much stronger than our fa'hera I mac toed were the results which led former leg islators to Impose restrictive legisla tion of Catholicism. Measures of the Reformation -period which, as late as tbe days of Hallam, were regarded by the most enlightened historians as simple persecution, are now seen to bare been la a large degree measures of necessary self-defense, or inevitable IncidenU In a civil war. Leek $ "Ikiuorracy and Lib ity." Convent Ansterlty. I will give you an instance: "A ten der-hearted young sister violated a rule by giving some money to a poor family on the point of starvation; when her superior heard of It, she made her fast on bread and water for one week. The vow of chastity forbids her to love one of the opposite sex, or even think of a husband, save Christ. She cannot even extend her hand to a gen tleman, or look in his face without breaking her rules, nor mut she caress a little child for fear of maternal in stinet distracting her. But these ar dent, Impulsive young cieatures, with all the woman's loving nature, can not, do not keep this vow. There Is not a sister In the convent but desires a material husband, and they do have their lovers among priests and laymen. (I have seen six sisters in love with one priest; he only loved one of them, consequently they were unhappy and jealous.) By the vow of oliedienea she must give up not only her will but her judg ment and reason. Her superior, a wo man oftentimes of inferior intellect, ignorant, superstitious and domineer ing, cannot be addressed except on the knees of the subject. She must kneel at her feet and listen to her commands, as coming from the mouth of God. If the subject receives a command which her judgment tells her Is wrong or ab surd, she must violate her reason and do the will of another. Edith O'Gorman. The American Party. At a meeting of the Sixth Ward American Association, held last night, tbe Republican national candidates were endorsed, as well as Dr. W. S. Booze for congress, Henry Stockbridge for jjdge and C. W.

Stanglen for the First Branch city council. Mr. Stanglen is a member of the American party, which was Insti tuted at Baltimore June 20th last. Its principal doctrines are that Americans shall rule America, restriction of Im migration, a complete separation of church and state, no appropriations of public funds for the support of any in stitutions not owned and controlled by the public authority, and non-sectarian public free schools. Baltimore Sun, August 22. Something to Answer For. The public school house at Black In- ton, Mass., is used every Saturday by a Romish priest to hear confessions. Rome Is not contented with denounc ing our public school and packing the same with her servile tools as teachers, but she must rub in her insults by con verting a publio school house into a place where the dirtiest questions and most immoral suggestions are made to male and female, old and young. Above the school house flies an Amerl can flag. Great heavens! A cesspool of Iniquity In a public school house, under the Stars and Stripes. Rome throws out the Bible and puts in her confessional sewer. That "four bun dred" who run Blackinton will have eouethlng to answer for at the bar of God. Memphis American. Juniors dirowing.

Premier Liurler was asked to-day what he had to say about the MtU's story that he had sent an emissary to Rime regarding the Manitoba school case.

Our bishops are leaving for the Eternal City In rapid succession, and having for some time kept public opin ion alive with their mandements and speeches, they have now suddenly be come as silent as the tomb. The dis cussion of the school question com menced in Canada seems transferred to Rome. It is stated tht Premier Lau rier has advocates at the Vatican, and his came would triumph. If the Lib eral leader has friends In Rome he never asked their help, and probably does not know them. He is too pru dent to implicate himself in intrigues, and if he obtains justice it will not be because he solicited It. It Is quite llke.lv the European friends of some Liberal Canaaians may have taken steps, but their success or defeat can not affect the Liberal leaders.

Qeorjre A Wright, who Is believed to have come from Ntaten Islaud, at tempted to commit suicide in a New York lodging-house the other morn ing, because he was haunted, he said, by the face of a woman who was in visible to all others. Wright, who was well dressed and respectable In appearan ?e, went to the lodging house at No. 124 Park row, Thursday night, and registered as "N. llrewster, city." Friday noon he re turned to the house, after being out all morning, and then began a course of conduct that greatly annoyed and surprised the other inmates. lioing to the sitting room of the place and walking up and down the room, saying nothing, he muttered to himself and constantly cast terrified glances toward a particular door of the room. This he kept up far into the night, until all the lodgers had re tired except one. Stopping abruptly before this man he said firmly: "Call that lady thure. I want to speak to her." The lodger saw no one to call, how ever. All night the footsteps of the haunted man could be h-sard as he walked up and down restlessly. At a few minutes after fr the stranger turned toward John Larry, the clerk, who had come down, and Larry was horrified to see blood spurting from the stranger's throat. Wright stepped up and handed him a blood-stained pocket-knife.
