the consecration sermon It was an olab-
oruto and scholarly review of the aims
and ends of Catholicism Non-Catholics
afllrmcd that Catholicity will ovcntually
devour this land and its liberties
and its government , but the men
who wcro today made Catholic bishops
had distinguished themselves as rcmovors of
obstacles to truth , and that did not look like
it Closing n inngnlllccnt exordium the
BV learned preacher passed on to the subject of
? agnostlciam , which ho denounced as the
J greatest oncmy of our times Not that ho
depreciated thought in religious affairs far

) too , should not bo ovordrllloil The perfect
J soldier Is n machine , " said someone to Gene
M ral Grunt , and General Grunt bad replied ;
J "An American Is a machine with u thinking
J attachment , " a remark even morotruo of the
American Catholic ' 1 ho fate of Catholicity
in the United States would depend upon
J whether it purified politics , sapctillcd the
family and elevated manhood Was the
Ameiicau stnto progressive ! The Catholic
church tauchtthatnuorollglon is essential
to progrcsslvoticss Did the American statu
postulate human dignity mid equality ?
" Catholicity taught that , maa was after a divine -
vine model , and all wore equal in their os-
V scutlul charucteiistics Did Americans level
l Intelligence ! Catholicity demanded it , for it
V was a religion of exact principles In clos-
BB ing the speaker said to the newly created

:
Hnblil Illrinli Snyo It Is Composcil
Montly or lltisnlnti lews
Cntcioo , Dea 27. JSpeclal Tologrnm to
Tub , Ukr.1 The nntlonal convention of
Hebrew trades unionists which has been In
session in Now York has been watched with
kocn interest by the Hebrews of Chicago
Their atiarchlal tendencies liavo not been
looked upon kindly
"I do not know Just what the Now York
convention was , " said the well known Uabbl
1 Uracil today , but it was doubtless composed
of an clement of which Chicago bus u largo
number They nro the Russian Jews , who
uro in the lowest possible s ale of modern
civilization It Is not Btrnngo that they
are in this state of mind As
a rnco they hnvo been opposed for
centuries , and as Individuals they hava been
persecuted nnd starved all tholr llvos Anyone
ono cau sco tbo result , They are locked up
by themselves llko a lot of criminals to brood
over tbo wrongs they suffer ; they got no
Ideas from the outsldo world ; they know
nothing but the injustlro done thorn , und
they hnvo no relief , They nro the most
ignorant cla < s of pcoplo in civilization , and
nothing but anarchy can result from them
From this clnss are recruited the Hebrew
anarchists of London , Now York und Chi
cage Thcro are 100,000 of thom both in
London nna Now Yorlc , and per
haps fiO.000 of thom in Chicago
All hnvo como hero In the
lost ten years in the most deplorable state
Another foundation stone of their Ideas is
whut is known ns the Mir svstem Under
this they own no property In Itussla , all the
lands boinir cultivated in common , tbo prod
ucts being distributed among them accord
ing to the number in the family and the
amount of work done by such family It Is
not strnngo that they bring tholr notions to
America , and ns they settle together and
keep themselves within the bounds of their
clan It is prottv hard to cultivate now ideas
nmong them Then when they do got uero
they are ignorant of American meth
ods und manners and fall un easy
prey to some scheming man of their own
rate , who procures n contract nnd employes
the ignorunt ones at starvation wnges They
boo the injustice of this , and anarchy still
holds sway over their minds The few who
can read know nothing in Russia but the
secret liternturo ot nnhrchy , and in this
country Hurr Most's books get into their
hands The Intelligent Jews are working
heroically to instill proper ideas Into the
heads of the unfortunuto ones of our rnco ,
and realizing that the true death
blow to anarchy is the air of Ameri
can enterprise nnd Justice wo in Chicago
cage organized a chnrltnblo society , which
is spending nearly $100,000 each year Out
of every 100 calls for aid wo can safely say
that nlnoly-iilno are from these Jewish an
archists We favor compulsory public school
education , nnd wo clothe and feed the chil
dren so they can attend the public schools
A few wccks association with American chil
dren shows the growing generation that the
logic of their parents is wrong These chil
dren carry homo their new formed reasoning
and their mothers nnd fathers profit by it
Thcro , you sec , is our very fouuuatlon of the
betterment of this class ' '
The nrnzilian Situation
Washington , Dec 27. The Brazilian
minister has received a cablcgrum from Uar-
boz.i , minister of linanco , dated Rio Janeiro ,
December 27 , which snys in part : Ex-
Prennor Qro Pctro has boon uanishea on
nccouut of acts of conspiracy on the part of
hi3 followers The imperial lamily , because
of having changed their uttitudo from ucqul-
oscenco to encouragement of the pretensions
of the reactionaries , were deprived of the
civil list and subsidy The emperor , under
the advlco of disastrous counsellors , re
fused the subsidy because it was
nn act of revolution , but accepted
the civil list ns a right based unon law In
view of this doniul of the legitimacy of the
revolution , which has been sanctioned by the
whole country , our measure cutting off the
civil list nnd subsidy was an act of mere
common senjo Thcso measures have hero
met with general support Wo shall continue
to respect all rights , maintain tribunals , or
ganize nn administration , obscrvo all con
tracts and keep up tbo budget , but any at
tempt against public order will bo repressed
with implncnblo severity Commrrco , agri
culture and the working classes call upon
us to assume this attitude Wo
shall hand ever to the constitutional conven
tion tbo republic Intact These who bollovod
that this convention is called to decide between -
tween a republio and n monarchy are mis-
taken The monarchy Is out of the question
The European press should not bo misled by
newsmongers , whoso machinations are hero
objects either of amnzoment or derision
These mistakes of tbo press foment hero
schemes of disturbance , but the dilemma
now is simply a republic or an anarchy

Notwithstanding the attacks that hnvo
been 1 made upon him by certain nowspapcrs
nnd , the nppnront conspiracy to lunuo him
ridiculous , Postmaster General Wanamakcr
is : now considered about the most popular
man i In tbo cabinet Tho.buslucas end of his
department < was never done in quito such a
business llko way as has been the case under
bis administration In fact , ho is the only
business mun who has sat In the chair of the
postmnstor general and the only ono who
has brought to the oftico any experience in
the management ot largo bodies ot men erIn
In conducting the dciailu of a gront organ
ization Mr Vilas was a country
Uwyor , with no cxpcricnco nnd very
little knowledge ot the necessities of the
case , or what Senator Sawyer would call
hardly worth cutting for timber and too
far from homo to haul for flro wood " Mr
Dickinson was an abler and brighter minded
man , but saw In the department nothing but
n political machine , which was to promote
Mr Cleveland's rc-olcctlon. ' Mr Ilatton
wnn n good editor , but without the slightest ,
tulcnts for business Mr Grcsbam wus a good
judge , but most of the duties of the post
master general were distasteful to him Mr
James was the only man of noteworthy ex
perience in a long list , but ho was so
possessed of a passion of making
a reputation as a reformer that ho lot the
every day business of the department go to
tbo dogs Bolero him were a long line of
lawyers In oflleo , but few business men In
selecting Mr Wnnutnnker to bo postmaster
general the president Intended to bring busi
ness principles into the machines of' this
great department of the government , and
feels very oroud of the practical suggestions
which the former has made in bis Qrst re
port Whether any of thcso suggestions
will bo adopted by congress Is a question
Mr Wauauiukor believes ho could save
several millions of dollars a year and give a
much bettor Rcrvico all around If ho wcro
allowed to make such changes as his prac
tical business experience has recognized ns
necessary , but congress will have to pass
the lcgislulion for every little detail ,
and It is almostas dlflicult for a member of
tbo cabinet to get a bill through congress ns
for an ordinary citizen to do so , and besides
most of thomembers of that body do not
care to have the department run on strictly
business principles They prefer that It
should continue ns it has been a political
mncbine 1 boy need Its Influence to secure
their reelection , nnd there is no power so
potent in n country congressional district as
the postoflice Mr Wunnmaker wants to
reorganize the department on the plun of a
great railway corporation , with the post
master general in the place of the president
to direct its policy and a general manager to
direct the business , with a division of labor
and responsibility among the several heads
of the branches of the service , who , like
their subordinntcs , should bo selected ,
promoted and paid according to their
special fitness for the duties to bo
performed But congress will never consent
to this No amount of persuasion will in
duce the politicians to let go their grip upon
the patronage or abdicate the power thpy
possess to bring the postmaster general und
all his subordinates to terms uny tlmo by
withholding or reducing appropriations An
other weakness in the service of whioh tbo
postmaster general compiains is the small
salaries that uro paid responsible men The
heads of railway bureaus who perform
duties similar to these of the assistant post ,
master general receive salaries of (15,000 ,
$20,000 and $25,000 a year , while
our government pays but M,500.
The solicitor of the postofUco department
gets but fl,000 , while the solicitors of great
railway corporations rccolvo all tbo way
from J20.000 to $30,000. Mr Wnnamuker
does not want the snlary of the postmaster
general increased , but ho docs advocate the
appointment of a general manager with a
salary of not less than $15,000 and un in
crease of the pay of bis leading subordinates
to double what they are now getting , so that
it will always bo possible to command the
best talent in the market
