MORE THAN SLATTERLY.
Savannah, Georgia, has been having
a riot that only the utmost forbearance
on the part of the militia prevented cul
minating in bloodshed. It was caused
by a man named Slatterly, who claims
to have been a Catholic priest, and his
wife, who, it eeems, pretends to have
been a nun, delivering a lecture
in which they pretend to expose the se
crets of the priesthood and of the con
vent. Naturally the Catholics of that
city were indignant, and unfortunately
they let their indignation lead them into
an attempt to prevent Slatterly or his
wife lecturing. Had they looked at the
matter coolly, they would have realized
that the attacks of such as Slatterly on
religion of any form cannot hurt it. Ac
cording to Slatterly's statement, be is a
man who has violated his solemn prom
ises to the church, and his wife is a wo
man who violated her vows to God, and
forsook Him to cling to a traitorous ser
vant. Who then would believe them?
Such people eerve to amuse the idle and
spumy-minded, but what reasoning man
heeds them. Ingersoll attacks all re
ligion, yet we admire bis graceful die
tion and the beauty of the sentiment
that he sometimes expresses, while we
smile at his premises, laugh at his logic,
and recognize at a glance the falsity of
his conclusions.
Our Catholic brethren should simply
ignore Slatterly and such as he, for,
like steam, he only becomes powerful
when confined. Resistance to such as
he but supplies the fulcrum for his lever
and furnishes the friction that enables
him to move. Slatterly, a renegade to
his church, cannot barm that church by
anything he may do, unless he again
joins it. He is powerless for harm only
when by such actions as those in Savan
nah those fighting him make the foolish
. think he and his amount to something.
Yet trifling as he ia, there is a principle
involved in the matter that cannot be
permitted to be set aside. That is, the
right, guaranteed under our constitution,
of free speech. Mr. Slatterly cannot go
into the Catholic church to there express
his opinions, but when he hires a hall
he is entitled to talk as much as be
pleases, on any subject be pleases, as
long as as his language is decent ; and
aa many as desire may go to hear him,
and believe or disbelieve bis statements
as ,suits their pleasure. When this
right is denied to Slatterly it makes it
possible that the same rights may be
denied to priest and preacher. Whether
Slatterly is allowed to speak or not is a
' trifling matter, but whether the right of
free speech to every American citizens
is to be abridged or denied is of vital
importance.
THE NEW RE ILL Y BILL.
Under the proposed modification of
the Reilly funding bill, says the S. F,
Call, the bond-aided roads will pay the
principal of the government debt in
cash, refund the accrued interest for
fifty years- at 2 per cent and extend the
first mortgage bonds by. a reissue, paya
ble in installments through a period of
fifty years with interest at 3 per cent
It ia reported that this scheme finds
favor with many opponents of the orig
inal Reilly bill, and is likely to pass both
houses of congress.
It is a better proposition as far as the
government is concerned, because it will
pay into the treasury the principal of
the second mortgage bonds. This is the
bait which promises to hook votes
enough to carry the measure.
For California, and the com muni tea
between San Francisco and Omaha, the
sheme is just as bad as the original re
funding bill. The companies will have
to borrow the money to pay the princi
pal, and the people tributary to the
roads will have to pay it, principal and
interest. Also, as heretofore, their busi
ness interests will be held liable for the
principal and interest of the first mort
gage bonds. The stock of the two com
panies will retain its existing status, and
the present management will hold fast
their control of the properties, with all
the maladministration which that fact
has inyolved in the past and will imply
for the future. The scheme also shuts
off - the possibility of legal proceedings
for the recovery of the millions wrong'
fully diverted by the managements.
WILSON, POSTMASTER GENERAL
Ex-Congressman W. L. Wilson has
been appointed postmaster-general in
place of W. S. Bissell resigned. Mr.
Wilson was elected to congress from
West Virginia in 1882, and was closely
connected with the tariff tinkering of
Mills, assisting in perfecting what was
known as the Mills bill. His name be
came prominent through the fact that
he was chairman of the ways and means
committee of the house and the tariff
bill, under which the government is
now sailing so smoothly, was prepared
by him; though, to do him justice, it
might be added that it was so amended
after leaving his bands that he failed to
recognize it when Senator Gorman in
troduced him to it after it had passed
the senate.
VETOED THE BILLS.
Governor Lord has vetoed senate bill
No 99, giving Miss Iva Templeton $5,000
on account of her leg being broken by a
fall through a rotten bridge, in Linn
county, a few years ago, and house bill
No. 14, giving mileage to sheriffs. The
first be thinks unconstitutional, and the
last mischevious and contrary to the ex
pressed policy of the people. The latter
did not affect the sheriff of Multnomah
county, who was expressely exempted
from its provisions.
Tli Boy aa a Barometer.
Yesterday a boy in this town, standing
upon the heel of one boot for a center,
described the circumference of a circle
with the toe of the other. It was a
marble ring, and the spring's first and
surest harbinger is here. The migratory
birds may be deceived. The treeB may
swell their buds with a false joy at the
deceitful breath of the south wind.
Waters may laugh merrily at their tem
porary release from bondage, as the
mouse rejoices when the cruel cat lifts
up her tantalizing paw. The sky and
the earth and the air may seem to read
the signs of spring and be mistaken, but
the boy is nature's masterpiece. He
does not err in interpreting the sound of
nature's voice.
When the season's change is first
surely heralded, the boy is the herald
The marble ring is more faithful in its
promise than the rainbow. There is no
doubt now that the winter has done its
worst. There may be bitter cold days,
but there will be in the chilling winds
the chill of spring, and the warm days
will outnumber the cold ones from now
on. Before many weeks the browns of
the prairie will be changed by the kalei
doscope of the season to a deep black,
and then will come the livid green of the
first foliage of the fields. The crowds in
the suffocating "trailers" will spread to
the grip car to keep company with that
crazy girl who has been riding down
town every morning in the biting north
wind, wrapped in the placid delusion
that she is improving her health
Easter will follow Lent, and apple bloB-
6oms will follow Easter, and women in
their first white dresses will come after
the blossoms, and when these events
have been celebrated, the three best
things of the year will be gone, and
summer will have come.
But the boy will foretell the coming of
summer and the passing of spring bette
than all the manifestations of inanimate
nature. After the marbles come the
tops. After the tops, mud balls. After
the mud balls, the boy wanders back to
the water which he left, clinking his
skates on his back, for the marble
ground. The water of the pond, the
creek or the river is never too cold for
the boy who experiments with it when
the ice is gone. For wading or for
swimming water is always as warm as
dishwater" to the boy who feels in
spired by the whisperings to try it. No
boy ever was called into the water by
his natural impulses too early in the
spring. He may shiver. He may turn
purple, and his old chickenpox raah may
come out on his shaking legs as he
"dries" on his shirt among the willows
just in leaf, but he will not admit an
error. Nothing the boy does when in
the open is too late or too soon. The
boy is nature's thermometer and barom
eter. He has indicated the death of the
winter. The click of his marbles in the
ring prophesies the coming of the
spriog. Kansas City Star.
