WOULD CAPTURE THE SCHOOLS. Clever Scheme of the Social Democ- racy in State of Kansas. The Kansas contingent of the social de- mocracy, promulgated by Eugene V. Debs, has laid the plan to capture the schools and colleges of that state. mee State Club, organized in Topeka, is mai the beginning of a crusade which its promoter expects will pass through all the state schools and colleges in Kansas. Back of the scheme are some of the populist leaders of the state, and most active in the work of organization are appointees of Chief Justice Doster of the su- preme court. ‘The plan is to employ teachers in the various state educational institutions who are in sympathy with the Debs idea, and then to organize clubs—of the social de- mocracy among the students, so that when they get out into the world as teachers, or in other callings, they will be fitted to inculcate their new doctrine. | IN HONOR" OF KEANE Notable Banquet at the Shoreham Last Night. FROM ELOQUENT SPEAKERS TRIBUTES Church and e Represented at thé Beard. FROM THE CABINET There. was‘extended to Archbishop Jokn Jcseph Keune iast night a tribute such as seldom falls to the lot of man, and when it is considered that the object of it is a simple and unassuming gentleman the oceasion was-indeed a remarkable one. It was a significant.demonstration in a num- ber of ways. The. highest dignitaries of the Roman ‘Catholic Church in America denoted by their presence and their praise the illustrious position Archbishop Keane occupies in that great organization and the appreciation felt at his fulfillment of its duties; the attendance of the most distin- guished representatives of the government of the United States illustrated in no un- certain manner the eminence he has achieved in typifying all that is great and good and patriotic and progressive in American Citizenship, and the gathering of the men, young and old, who had known him from the earliest days of his priestly Archbishop Keane. duties in Washington up and through the various degrees of bis exaltation, showed that the affection and esteem which he had Irspired years ago by his manly qual- ities, by his bre berevolence, by his self- sacrificing charity and his charming per- sonality, was as warm and ardent today as it wus when the hearts in which it had been lighted were hot with the animation of youth and vigor. And there was ap- other signficant thing about it. The re- cipient ef the honor was worthy of it, and every men who joined in its payment knew that this was true. Banquets are fre- quently perfunctory affairs in a very large degree, and guests sometimes exercise all the ingenuity that refinement teaches them to be capatle of to disguise their disinch- nation to ke present and be bored. But the guests who assembled at the Shoreham last night w+re every one imbued with the conviction that they were being honored by as much as they were honoring their friend, and a more delightful event has never been chronicled in the social history of Washington. Scene in the Banguct Hall. The banquet hal s decorated with consummate taste, and ‘with a keen per- ception of appropriateness. The purple, which is significant of Archbishop Keane's reuk, was everywhere apparent. The guest of honor looked upqn the long lines cf his fricnds over great ma of purple or- chids that were tropical-like in their pro- fuse luxuriance. ‘The candelabra glowed beneath purple shades, their bases hidden in heaped-up piles of scarlet meteor roses, and the seme flowers were arranged in at- tractive mounds between them. Trafled along the tables were asparagus and meteor roses running riot over broad paths of pirple ribbon. The walls were ceful palms and plants, e which the beautiful stars and-stripes hung in graceful folds. At the end of the apartment. oppesite Bishop Keane, across the space occupied by the long tables at which the guests were seated, was a pho- tograph of the archbishop hung the papal flag aid the stars and 5s The picture presented by this rich m: color so artistically arranged was exqui- site. The banquet souvenirs on their outer cever bore en ssed miniatures of the American and papal flags and an inscrip- tion in gold, as follows: BANQUET T ‘0 MOST REV. JOHN J.

I who presided, was greeted by hearty ap- plause when he arose to inaugurate the two hours’ of tribute to the distinguished guest of honor, He read his remarks from man- uscript, and spoke as follows: Gentlemen: The world is led by grcat men now, as of old, for great men are the em- bodiment and expression of great thought. And when, after a long, acfive and useful career, @ man comes to represent in an eminent degree the virtues and principles upon ‘which the welfare of humanity and the progress of religion depend, when a cit- izen’s name becomes identical and synony- mous with good and with virtue, when he becomes the embodiment and the type ot the patriot, when he includes in his char- acter and in his work the qualities and characteristics that constitute the perfect Christian—in a word, when a man becomes the type of a citizen and the model of a churchman, it is then fitting that such a one should be honored. And to honor such a one we are assem- bled here this evening. (Appiause.) Arch- bishop Keane is known to this community, and no one has ever been so loved by it. During his long and active career in Wasa- ington he stood for ail that is good in the man and in the Christian. (Loud applause.) thout party feeling and without pre: he has looked from this coign of van- to the whole country and loved it all. His infiuence has been felt in every corner of it, and greater than a continent, more potent than a people, and more compre- hensive than a nation, it has p: ed beyond our national limits and won from the conti- nents of the world admiration and t. The work that he did at home had i flection abroad; and the love that W: ton cherished for him kindled into fla and burst into activity amid all nations and in the hearts of all men who love man znd seek the good of humanity. (Appla' ) A devoted son, a zealous priest, an emi- nent bishop of his own church, he preached the fullness of her doctrine with conspic- uous ability and pronounced success. He broke down walls of prejudice and showed the world the heart of the great old church palpitating with the love of Christ for all men, and ever mindful that the progress of this country depended upon the progress of religion. (Great applause.) He saw in this country the home of liber- ty, and he professed obedience and loyalty to it with the same intensity and the same bounding enthusiasm with which he gloried in following his captain, Christ. And hav- ing thus blessed the community, and hav- ing thus benefited the church, neither as citizens ner as Catholics could we Jet him go to a new field without the public expres- sion of our profound gratitude and our ar- dent admiration. (Applause.) We rejoice that the wisdom and the gov- ernment of the enlightened Leo have placed him in a position where his opportuni-ies are larger, his field greater, and where in the same spirit he can continue to work for God and for his country. This unparalleled testimonial, this gath- ering of the dignitaries of the church and state, does as much honor to Washinston as to our distinguished guest. He and we may well be proud of it. Washington, the capital of the greatest nation in the world, pays homage to John Joseph Keane, the moéel Christian and the typical patriot. (Great and continued applause.) Cardinal Gibbons’ Remarks. ‘When quiet was restored Col. Berret an- nounced that the first toast of the evening, “Leo XIII,” would be responded to by Car- dinal Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore. ‘When Cardinal Gibbons arose the guests did likewise, and the clapping of hands was punctuated by many cheers. The car- dinal spoke in clear, distinct tones. He said: “There are three venerable statesmen in Europe today toward whom the eyes of the civilized world are directed. They are Wil- liam Gladstone, Prince Bismarek and his holiness, Pope Leo XIIL Two of those men have already retired to private life. "They have laid aside their armor. Leo, on the other hand, is still clothed with the panoply of the Christian warrior. “He has on the breastplate of justice and the helmet of salvation, and wields with firmness the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. He is in the full pos- session of his faculties. His memory is most retentive, as I have reason to know from my personal relations with him. The light of his intellect. burns as brightly as ever, and he is cael engaged in the public affairs of the churc' “Of all the princes of the world, I do not knew one who has more cordial sympathy with our country than Leo XIII. “Few statesmen have a more accurate knowledge of the genius of our American institutions than he has, and few have taken a greater and more sympathetic in- terest in us as a nation than ifested— has_mant “We thank him for all the kind senti- | consent Archbishop Keane has been chosen preacher to the English-speaking colony in Rome, an office which he has filled to the great satisfaction of his holiness, with credit to himself and with honor to the great nation which he represents.” (Ap- plause.) Cardinal Gibbons related how a boatman, with whom St. Francis De Sales and the Bishop of Belley, were once sailing on Lake Geneva addressed the former as Father. Bishop Belley reproved the man and com- manded him to cail Francis monseigneur or my lord, whea Francis reproved the bishop, saying. “Let them call me their father, for they love me as such. Oh, how much more gocd they do my heart than those who call me monseigneur.” Continuing, the cardinal said: “Some days before hi: cessor, Archbishop Bayley, say: ‘Father Bayley, Bishop Bayley, Aj bishop Bayley. I prefer Father Bay! He preferred the title of father, when he simply Father Bayle more direct and affectionate relations with the people than when he was bishop and archbishop. (Applause.) rch- “Our distinguished guest has exercised the public ministry in three great cities of Christendom—as father in Washington, capital of the nation, as bishop in Rich mond, the capital of the confederacy, ishop in Rome, the capital of the stian world. His Career Eulogized. “In Washington he jabored many years as a simple priest. He loved God and he loved humanity. He enlightened souls with hi: gifts of eloquence, and he made religio: honored and respected. He carried conso- lation to the broken hearted and the poor. He proved himself a benefactor and a boon with his charity and benevolence. He knew there was no religion where there was no love. “In Richmond as a bishop ,he exercised a commanding influence by his apos ministry, and his name is there enshri in reverence and benediction. “And now in Rome he has many official and important duties to perform. “Thus we see our honored guest was Father Keane in Washington, Lishop Keane in Richmond, and is Archbishop Keane in Rome. And if he were asked to- night what title he loves best, i think that, like Francis de Sales and Archbishop Bay- ley he would say without hesitation that he would prefer the title of Father Keane. (Great applause.) “And now, my dear friend, on the eve of your departure from our shores, we wish you godspeed to the great city where Providence has cast your lot. “You will tell the holy father how much he is revered and loved by his spiritual children of this country and how much he is admired and honored by the American people at large not only on account of his intellectual gifts and of his charming per- sonality, but also on account of the pro- found interest be takes in every measure that is calculated to alleviate the wrongs and to improve the condition of mankind. “And be assured that whenever yon re- visit your ever beloved land of America you will be always welcbmed with open arms and warm hearts by your fellow- citizens, without distinction of race or re- ligion, and especially by the people of Washington, which has been so long the scene of your useful labors.” (Great and long continued applause.) The Attorney General's Eloquence. Attorncy General McKenna answered the second toast, “The United States.” He carried his listeners to the very zenith of enthusiasm by his patriotic declarations. In the minds of many present he eluci- dated a problem which had long, puzzled them by his definition of the Unit@d States as a diyine abstraction. The Attorney Gen- eral spoke as follows: The sentiment you propose for my re- sponse would, in any of its aspects, em- barrass the greatest ability to consider. It appalls mine. It is said that Isocrates, the great Grecian Crator, was fifteen years composing a panegyric on Athens. A sub- ject not less rich and splendid is seemingly made the careless or audacious topic of post-prandial oratory, and in sentences hastily composed and hastily uttered its magnificence is expected to be displayed and celebrated. But I hope our purpose is not panegyric. That would be superfious. It is the affirma- tion and confirmation of our patriotism— the thanksgiving of our hearts for the ex- istence of this great republic and that we are citizens of it. (Applause.) This, 1 take it, Mr. President, is the pur- pese and meaning of your sentiment and the phrase, “The Un‘ted States,” is but the @&pression of that abstraction we call our coustry. Borrowing the thought of snother,“I call it an abstraction. Does this startle you? Your first thought is of ma- divine abstraction. You cannot tell what it is, but let its flag rustle above your head —you feel its living presence in your hearts. (Applause.) “The United States” ries Sess mean? union of sovereigni gran tion, But it is more than this. These but the coustituents of a grander unit—a su- the nation. How did [come shout?

Discontent there may be, and it will mani- fest itself. But who cares for that if it be manly and based on real cause—moving to better things—considerace of human possi- bilities and limitations. But I repeat, I am not afraid. The dis- malest prophecy cannot see the end of the republic. Tt will endure for centuries “the colossus of the nations. Its feet on the continents—its scepter over forehead among the stars.” The guests threw off all restraint at this peroration, and broke into cheers, that were only quelled by the orchestra play- ing “The Star Spangled Banner. A Typical American Citizen. Chairman Berret announced that Assist- ant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roose- velt, who was expected to answer the toast, “The American Citizen,” was un- avoidably absent, but that Assistant Sec- retary of the Interior Webster Davis would take his place.
