THE OMAHA DaiLy BEE NINETEENTH YEAR THE CONGRESS OF THE LALTY, | Platform Adopted by ths Catholic | Laymen, LOYAL TO CHURCH AND STATE. There 14 No Antazonism Between De- Yotior o the PontdT of Rome and the butics of An American Cits [ Bl 1 Prol Holy Ser Demanded. Barrivonn, Nov. 12.—~To-night the net re- sult of th adingsof the first congress of Catholic laymen of the Unitad States was made manifest in the platform adopted with enthusiustic unaniuit ‘Tne platform rejoices at the marvellous devélopment of the oountry and regards with just pride the part taken by Catholics therein, In the words of tho pastoral issued by the archbishops and bishops in the third plenary couvcil, *Wo claim to be acquainted with the laws, institutions aud spiriy of the Catholic church and with the laws, institutions and spivit of our country, and we emphatically declare thore is no antagonism between them. Freedom of thi Wo repudiate with equal earnestness the as- sortion that we need to lay aside any of our devotedness to the ¢ h to bo true Ameri- cans; the insinuation that we need to abate any of our love for our country’s principles and institutions to be faithful Catholi We cannot, however, shut our eyes to the many dangers that throaten destruction of the so- cial fubric upon which dcpends our peace, liberty und free institutions, “Altkough our wealth has incrensed and prosperity abounds we find uoder toe shadow of this systcin ncipient vau- perism, discoutented men, women and children, without the lenefits of education, = without the advantages of religion, deprived of any share in the abundancs or purticipation in the blessings which through our free institutions God A mighty bLas designed for the people of our 1and. ~ We recognize that next in importance to religion is education. As in tho state schools no provision is made for the nust continue to sup- lloges and wnivers| nd multiply and perfeet them so that the benefit of a christian education may be brouizht within the reach of eve Catholic child, We also recoggize that among tho three great educational ag: asides the church and school, is the christian home. ‘Whatever imperils its permancacy, securi and peaceis a blow aimed not only at ind| vidual rights, butis an attempt to subvert society and christian civilization, Therefore, we denounce the existence and development of Mormonism and the tendency to multinly the causes of civorces, as plague spots oun our civiliz adit to our govern- ment, the n of the female sex and a standiug menace to the sanctity of the marriage bond. We hold it is not suflicient for Catholics 10 shun bud or dangerous societies, but they ought to take purt in good and_useful ones. The plan and form of the St. Viecent de Paul society are commended, butas it is impossible to enumerate all theVsocicties whose lubors have done so much 10 succor the poor and alleviate human misery it must be left to individual action to select the fielas in which to worlk. “Another danger which menaces our re- euhllc 18 the constant conflict between capi- al and labor. Weo view with regret avd alarm any antagonism between them, be- cause thereby society itself is imperiled. ‘With the church we condemn nihilism, so- clalism aud communisw asd we equally con- demn the heartless greed of capital. The remedy must be sought in the mediation of the church through her action on the indi- wvidual conscience, and thereby on society and such civil enuctments as have been ren- dered necessary. Tho employment of young minors, either male or female, 18 disapproved. The plat- form pledges co-operation with tne clergy in discussing and solving these great economie, educational and social questions which effect the interests and well being of the church, the country and society at large, A vrotest is entered ngainst any change in the matter of the education of the Indians by which they will ba deprived of curistian teaching, Assistance to the clergy is pledged in all ways tendice to effect any improvement, physicalor moral, in the condition of the negro race. The platform favors Catholics taking o gre ater part than heretofore in genersl phil- anthropic and reformatory movements, “By mingling moro in such works of na- tional virtue as non-Catholic citizens are en- goged in and taking & proper share in the mavagement of prisons aud hospitals we might excrt a Catholio influence outside of our own body the same time we are solac- ing the unfortunate and roforming the erring, We should be able to insist on Catholic inmates of public institutions being frecly ministered to by their own clerg, *“There are many Christian issues in which Catholics could come together with non- Catholics und_shape civil legislation for the puvlicgood. Inspiteof rebuffs'and injustice, snd overlooking zealotry, we should seek an alliance with non-Catholles for proper Sun- day observanco. To effect this we must set our faces sternly against the sale of intoxi- cating beverages on Sunday, ‘Ihe corrupt- fog influence of suloons in politics, the crime and pauperism resulting from the excessive use of liquors require logislative restriction which we can aid iu procuring by joiniog our nfluence with that of other enemios of in- temperance. We favor the passage and cn- forcement of laws rigidly closing suloons on Sunday and iorvidding the sule of liquors to minors wud intoxicated persons.’ The platform recowmends that Catholics subscribe wore generally for Catholic publi- cations; looks with eagerness for the estab- ishuent of daily Catholic newspapers in the arge cities and a Catholic Associated press ency; recommends the work of Catholic reulating libraves and resding societies Bud their efforta to have the best Catholic books and periodicals introduced nto public librories as fust as practicable, We hope for the introduction of proper church music 1o ull our churches where olher musie is now heard; music that should belp in the devo- tion ut divine service and wot such as tends to divert the mind from heaveniy tnoughts, Efforts should be made to have the congre- gation join in the singing.” - The platform conciudes: *We cannot eonclude without recording our solemn con- viction that the absolute freedom of the Holy See is equally indispeusablo to tho ce of the church and the welfare of man- ind, We demand in the name of bumanity and justice that the freeaom be scrupulously respected by all secular governments. We Protest against the assumption by any such government of the right to affect tho inter- €815 or the right to control the actions of the boly father by uny form of legislation or other act to which his full approbution bus not been previously given, and we pledee to Lo XILI, the worihy poutiff to whose hands Almighty God has comwmitted the helm of Peter's bark, to guide it wrough the tempests of this stormy age, loyal sympathy of all his spirit- ual children in vinaicating the perfect lio- which he justly claims as bis sacred and ienable righ.” At the concludin, gress to-day Hon, lfnuld’ mialstor of Quobec, wade w uddress, which 'unl:e‘:lnvde" :’Ili‘l‘l v{m.li. enlhutllnuh Mon- sign Eogland, special ropresenta- fivo or Cardinal Mauniug, Fielly congratu- Jated the cougress on ils success, He was followed by Peter L.

The committee returned to Baltimere in the afternoon well pleased with the visit, THE SILVER BOW ;JON‘A‘EST. It Culminates in an Exciting Scene at the Court House, Burre, Mont.,, Nov. 12.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee |—The exeitement at the court house this afterncon was the greatest in the history of Silver Bow couuty, aud it was feared for a time that there would be vloodshed. The two rivals for the position of judge of the district court appeared ready to take their seat. The republican sheriff had a number of deputies stationed about the court room, the democratic sheriff-elect bad his deputies on hand, and the demo. cravic mayor had ordered the city marshal to have twenty special policemen on the scene, Revolvers were seen sticking out of @ good mony pockets, but for- tunately they were not used, Judge Dewolfe, the old judge, after hear- ing arguments from each side, declined to decide between the contestants, and ad- journed court. As he stepped from the chair Judge McHatton, the democratic can- didate, stepped to the chair and ordered Sheriff-elect Sullivan to convene court. This wasdone ina twinkling. Sveriff Floyd walked outof the court rodm and was soon followed by Hamilton, the republican ecandidate for judge. To-morrow Hanilton will go to Heieaa to obtain a writ from Supreme Court Judge Blake to compel McHatton to show his right to the position. 1t is feared there will be trouble of the wost serious character - MOrrow. On the opening of court Judge McHatton will order his sheriff to bring prisoners into court, but Sheriff Floyd has the keys to the jail, and Sneriff Sullivan can not obtaln them except by force, - KNIA CAVE, very of a Rival to Keu Subterrancan Wonder, SAN Fraxcisco, Cala, Nov. 1Y Special Telegram to Tn Bre. |~Two voung men of Caicoat, Butte county,injthe northern part of this state,assert that they have found a rival to the Mammoth cave of Kentucky. They chased o wild cat thre other day and the ani- mul disappeared in @ elump of bushes. In- vestigation showed a large bole in which a man could stand erect. With torches the hunters began to prospect. The first ten feet from the entrance was almost straight and two feet wide, Hero a little room about six feet rquure was found, also a large pile of boues, evidently of animuls who had rose there to die. ‘ihe floor of the next ba 8.igo was rough in plac After going fully a quarter of & milo they came upon the edge of a large body of water, cleur as crystal, sud almost as cold a8 ice. Irom here iweaty minutes were required to reach the wall of the cave. Aunother opening proved to be about twenty fect long and opened into another laree chamber. The roof of this room was not so high as the one just left and the dome could be plainly seen. ‘IThe whole room shone like diamonds, After re- v g their sieps they came.to u passage which led to & small chawber.

THE LEADERS SHORT WINDED, McKinley and Reed Will Win or Lose yur Heats—The Virginia Majority Rolled Too High for Safety., Wasninotox Buneav Tur Owans Ber, } 518 FOURTRENTIL STREET, Wasmyaroy, D. C., Nov, 12 The fact that Major McKinley arrived this morning and registered at tho Ebbitt house gave rise to tho improssion that he had come for the purpose of opening bis cam- paign for the speakership, and it was Lo- mediately assumed that he would open his headquarters at once, but McKinley cawe only to settle his family for the winter, and ho bad no sooner accomplished this than he immediately started for New York,where he has some important private business to at- tend to. He said to your correspondeut this afternoon that ho really knew very little about the contest, as he had been too busy to tuke much notice of what the newspavers have had to say during the past two months. He admitted, however, that he is in accord with the general impression which pre- vails in Washington that if either he or Mr. Reed is elected 1t will be before the fourth ballot is takien. Beyond this he did not care to discuss the subject at all at the present time. He returus next week., Mr. Read has been heavd from. 10 a friend that he will be n about the 15th, Mr. Burrows is expected daily and Messrs, Hen derson una Cannon are already in the fleld. The arrival of Mr, Reed will probably be followed by the mcoming of a great many membvers of the lower honse. At present there are very few here. In fact tho old employes of the house postofiice, where all the membors register unon Lheir arrival, say thav they do not recall a time when thers were 50 few members in the city so close to the openmg of the houss for the first ses- sion, ‘While the greatest interest 18 centered in the coming of the men who play the princi- pal part in the speakership struggle, all in- terested ave awaiting eagerly the arrival of some of the members of the New York dele- gution. New York has nineteen republican members, and at a dinner given on the last day of Februavy all of thom entered into an agreement to be gwded by the majority in the matter of the speakership, Thero was no one name mentioned at that time, but it was understood that the delegation would meet again before the caucus and agree upon the candiaate to whom shall be given the nineteen votes of tho Empire state, It is understood that anothe dinner will be given to this de.egation next week wnd it will aecide the question as to the position of New York. It is for this reason that all are almost as deeply in- terested in the arrival of the recognized leaders of the New York contingent as in that of the candidates themselves, The im- pression is general that the New York votes will go to Reed, but it is only an impression us yet, He writes Washingron TOO MUCH MAJORITY. The leaders of the democratic party in Vir- ginia are beginning to fear that they have averdone the mujority busmess in their state and that the resuit as reportedl by them will attract attention to the methods employed to carry the day against Mahone. Some of them regret that they did not_in- struct their bulldozera, ballot-box stuffers and computers to return a less majority for Governor-elect McKinney. United States Senator Barbour, the old” chairman of the democratic committes of the state, is one who fears that the thing was done too well. This is how Le consoles himself in an 1oter- viow to-day “Our majority in Virginia was a surprise, We were confident of victory, but sanguine as L was I never supposed it would be as sweeping as the flgures show it tv be. Ma- hone's unpopularity ana thorough demo- cratic organization were the causes, We polied every vote in our party, while thou- sauds of republicans stayed at howme.” A NOTADLE GATHERING. The ancieut capital of Maryland, Annap- olis, will be nwakened Saturday by a visit from what will be probably the most notable gathering of men in the last twenty years. For tho Arst time the international Ameri- can conference will meet the Maritime con- ference, and the two bodies will join in an excursion to the naval academny at Annup- olis. The international American confer- ence will be the guests of Secretary Blaine, white the secretary of tho navy will ex- tend the iuvitations to the mariners. Many of the delegates to one body re also members of the other, and the South American states in particular have JAuken advantage of the opportunity Lo econo- ‘mize and have made one set of delegate secretaries and attache answer for the two conferences. The Maritime and interna- tional conference will be accomoanied by the diplomatic corps, the judges of the su- preme court and many other prominent dig- mitaries, aud it is promised that the ocoa sion shall long be remewmbered by the visitors, NO SMOKING ALLOWED, Commissioner of Pensions Raum has pro- mulgated an order which will prohibit em- ployes of the pension office from smoking while on duty, Speaking of the enforcement of rules generally which are inclined w lesson the pleasures of employes, General Raum said this afternoon: *1find that the clerks are willingto cneer- fully accede to any demand that I may make upon them if it does nov affoct their reten- tion w ofiice. They are glad to buckle down to busiuess and do anything that is required if only permitied to remain. Very many of thein have been expecting toba forcibly re- tired, and they seem Lo ba more anxious to stay thun I ever expected an emvloye could be. Ever since the rerating agitation and tne statement that all the employes who had auy anything to do with the reratin gs wouid be discharged, trepidation and fear has reigned throughout the ofiice.” THE ROOSTER MUST GO, The judge of the police court here has de- creed thut the law probibiting the keeping of roosters in this city which crow in the early morning and disturb the sleeping inbabi- tants shall be enforced, This, with the en- forced lyw which prohibits persons from whistling or siuging on the street atnight and boys from cryimg newspapers before 8 o'clock in the mworning, gives the sleepers & good chance in the nutional capital, ARMY NEWS.

Creaco, Nov. 12,—At to-day's session of the Women's Christian Tomperance union convention an amendment to the coustitution was offered on behali of the faction repre- sented by Mrs, Fostor, of lowa. It provides that the objects of the Women's Christian Tewperance union shall be to nterest and unite the Christian women of tho nation in non-secturian and non-partisan temperance work for the reformation of the intemperate and the education of public sentiment in be- half of total abstinence and the prohibition of the trafie in alcoholic liquors, the deve opment of social purity, the suppression of vice and crime and the education of the masses in the duties and respoosibilities of good citizenship. In moving the adoption of the amendment Mrs. Aldrich, of Iowa, smd she wished the convention to accept 1t be- cause it was simply right and just and honest. Sbe said vhat there was no definite statement of the objects of the organization in the constitution. The W. U, . U. women occupied an anomalous posi- tion because they declared themselves non- partisan and yet adopted the most bitter partisan resolutions. The women associated in tho organization had political rights al- though not the suffrage, and it was wrong for the majority to adopt resolutions binding all women to support a certain political party. It was just as wrong for a woman to give uway her political influence as for a wan to sell s vote. Mrs. Henry, of Evanston, T11.5 Mrs. Wells, of Tennessee; Mrs. Barker, of South Da- kota; Mrs. Buell. the national secretary, and others spoke in opposition to the adoption of the amendment as a reflection on the pre- vious action of the union, aud aeclaring that the union was non-partisun, being ready to support any party which would put a prohi- bition piank in its platform, Mrs. J. Ellen Foster then spoke inits favor and was several times interrupted by hisses.
