EDITORIALS.

THE DESIRE FOR STUDY, is a most im­portant acqnireme11t. For the student it is of pri­mary con sideratio11. If he docs not already possess it let him diligently and persistently labor to ob­tain it. And when he once procures it l1e will then begin to realize its true \'al ne and reflect on how much easier and more efficient ly, he can achieve l1is undertaking. H e will uo louger ha\·e to fo rce him­self to work, uut will tints feel naturally and wi:­lingly inclined. :N o one more full y realizes and ap­preciates the utility and the benefit s accruing from a real desire for stnJy, than he doetl who trnly pos ­sesses it.

* * * STUDY should ue discon tin ned, while the mind

is suffering from repeated efforts, 0 11 a certain top­ic. In such a case, rest allcl exercise should be freely taken; and then the mind will soon become fit to resume its task. More work and better work will be performed, in this way than if we seek to

study at . any and all t imes, regardless of our physi­cal and mental condition.

* * *

TO STUDY WITH SATISFACTION and pro-fit, the mind must be kept in a healthy and vigor­ous condi tion . I t must be so trained that, all its forces ca n be instantly directed to and · concentrat­ed on the wbject in hand. If we but casually glance at a difficult problem, for the fi~·st time, we are , not'"apt to derive much benefit therefrom, even tho ngh we _have spent hours at it. Let the mind be directed to its object, so that, for the time being, it is unconscious of anything else. If distractions are allovved to interfere, the mental faculties can not fu lly exert t hems,elves-new ways of reaching the w lution are not visible and the undertaking soon appeai·s tu be a burden rather th~l1 ·a ple~sure. We shou ld not be daunted at the idea of close and con­tinued appli cation~we should ever be encouraged by the looked fo r result- we should be mindful of the story of the geometrician of old, and the inesti­timable joy he experienced and manifested when he arrived at the solution of a problem, which had can~ ecl h im many honrs of patient and concentrat­ed though t.

* * * TilE PH-ESENT SCHOLASTJC YEAR, wltich has been a snccessful one, is rapidly nearing its

· ci\Jse. That it may be one of pleasant.recollection to all , it is necessary that the remaining time be stu­diou sly employed. Those who compete for and win the prizes, will be amply rewarded for their labors.

THE CIVIL WAL{.

The m<,st remote cause of that long r nrl disnstrous <'i vii war, was slavery. It was the cause of embittering brother against brother, father 11gainst son nnr~ nation against itself. That nation which, neal'iy Oile hundred years before wit.h the robe of glory, wa~ now to be torn in shreos to satisfy the c laims of two rival parties. An universally respected power was tv be sacrificed to feed the ever increasing avarice of the Southern plantationists; but the guiding band of the Almighty had destined our ('OUntry to live, and one day to stand acknowledged :~s the toremostofthe nations of the globe. The cause of the South which was theeause of tyJ"ants, was trampled in the dust hy the iron hoof of the fiery steed of t,be North.

As far bacK as the nJministmtion of Monroe, this question of slavei·y began to assume a serious aspect· At this time t.he use ofslave labor in the north, was almost a thing of the pr1st; while on the contrary, the labor and wealtl1 of the south were r:1pidly Increasing been use of the cotton industry.

Soon after, began that fierl'e st1 ugg le fur the balance of power, between the free and slave ~tates. The policy of the south was to extend the domain of slavery by admittiug new states; the North wishiug to C<Htfine it1to the places where it already pred uminatcd. Both sides defended their claims in a manuel' which wa~ tru Jy magnanimous. Then took plaec t hn t conte;;t, which, fort.y-years later ended in the grl'nt Ci vi i War.

Finally in 1860, a large party in Lhe South declared "tlwt if the next election strengthPned the preponder­ance of the N(,rtb, the slave-slates ·.~· oulrl secede and from a confederacy of their 01'1"11." The form<.r events happened the samf\ year, and by the end of the follow­ing Janunry seven states had carried out their threat_ ened secession. The people in tlt<>~e sta lt-s confisticated n.Jl the forts, arsenal and other Federal property, excepting Fort Sumter, which Major Awle rson ga llantly defended with only eighty m,en, and Pickens which w:~s savecl by Lieut. ~lummer. ·

At this critical time, the Union wa5 almos~ devoid cf arms. Mr. Floyd, SecrE>tary of Male, who was a far­IH'eing man, Cll.used ali.:..ws;, a!! !.!!~ ~l111·es, muskets and cannon to be trausferred from llOrt l1 ern to southern arsenals. This was sometime before Lhe wa1·. The first shot was fired at the "Star ot the '\Vest,'' an unarmed merchant steamer, when she attempted to bring supplies to Fort Sumter.

Soor.. aftet·, the Con fed erates attacked this place, but it was not until the i·nterior was burning and most of the g•ms dismounterl that Major Anderson and his little hand evacuated it ..

Thi.~ bold action of the South, caused a flame of indignation to sweep all over the North. This .kindled the warm, hearts Of all trueJ Americans. As a result there was,.a general npri~;ing a ll over the country, par­ticularly in thea North, wbqse people until now, had believed there wa:~ no real danger. The President did not hesitate to call for a gre~1t number of volunteer!>; the answer was so quick that many of · them began marching the same clay.

Thus we see, while the Union was in no want of men, the action of Mr. Floyd had almost diYested it of arms.

.Then followed a few battles with alternate victories, but the first worthy of note is the battle o£ Bull Run. On the 21st of July, 1861, an army of twenty thousand men might have been seen cam~·ing in Virginia, about thirty miles £rom Washi:~gton. Opposite Washington, at Arlington he ights, another army, equally as nume­rous, watched tl1e rmovements of the first with eager eyes. ·' )

They are enemies, the North and Sout.h. Trurupet sound!>! The northern army is prepared for battle! Now it marches forward to <:onquer or die 1 One hour later the host of the North cr,t.-;hes ag·tinst Lhe Southern lines with irresistible force. Tlwy are giving way and the Union will be victorious. But lool~ ! <t tllird army ap·­pears, and .it is C01lfederate. TLie Federals are panic­stricken and fly at the fir~t on~et. The victory is won and lost. Five thcn1sand bucii :s cover the green earth; five thousand sou Is are reeei vi ng their etel'llal sentence.

This Union defeat Oll l)' hrought fresh clemanrls from Congrt>ss. That honorable hcdy a uthoriZf~d the Presi­dent to enlist a half rnillio11 men, anrl to appropriate five hundred million dc .llars to cover the <>xpenses ot the war. During t his prriod bot.h sirlr8 gnined splendid victories on both land nnd wa.l e r; we sba ll spcnk of the battle of Shilo.

Genera l Grant. had takeJr a position at Pittsberg Lan_ ding, hopmg to unite with Bu?ll; bnt before this junc­tion could be formed, the Conferlcrates attneked him. The batt le ragerl furiouly, and though the 'Union forces fought for every inch of g round, they wen~ at length driven back to the river. Their defe•tt _woulri have bern Pntire had not Buell nt la:;t :uri veri ,and ch:.tnged it into a victory.

Not long after this, a lnttl e o-:curred, which attrcted -­the attention of the world. Never before in the history of the universe was there anything similar to it. It was the battle between the Monitor and Merrimac. The Confederate cruiser having :-unk the Cumberland with all on hoard, was about to cumplete its work of des­truction by annihilating the whole Union fleet, when a craft still more strange, appeared as a savior. The Monitor darted at its at! ve1·sa.·y to eommenee a batu~

.. --~ _.,.,.,... . .....,.... ....... --.. "lT. VIATEUR'S COLLEG:r~ JOUHNAL. 223

which lasted for hours. Volley after volley was poured forth with little effect on either side. At last the Mer­rimac was disabled and nevet· appeared agnin.

General Hooker, who ha_d command of an army 11ear Gettysburg, resigned in favor of Meade. Lee attacked him at this point where the mos!- bravely contested battle of the war occurred. For two clays the thundering report of the mmket and cannon could be hem·rl for miles around; for two days the life. blood of men ran in strenms to the river. At length Lee was driven back with a loss of forty-thousand men. Meade lost a little more than half that much. Sixty thousand 'homes w'..ould have vacant chairs. This brought the invasion of the North to arms.

The South was never able to muster such a fine force again. All know well of "Sherman's m11rch to the sea.''

· The battle above the clouds ancl Sheridan's ride are events never to be forgottl:ln. The closing scenes of the war, the Fall of Richmond anc1 surrenders of Lee and Johnson. · Thus the civil war was brought to an end; of the

million and a half Union men who went to the strife, nine bunrh·ed thousnncl never returned. The Confeder­ates found that half of their- men had perished through wounds, starvation n.nrl sickness.

The debt of the United Stntes was twenty-five 'hun_ dred millions of dollnrs. The Confederate debt was wiped out with the fall of 1 . h~t government. The war IJad no sooner ceased thfln t lw news of the cowardly assasination of President Liucoln tl <: sl.led over the conntry. He was shot by Booth, who was himself soon

. killed. The termination of tba war brought with it the · emancipation of fottr million souls.

Tbe United States gainecl more respect now than ever, since they have sl.Jown their powerful resources. Pe::tce has blessed our country ever since and it is the wish of every true American that this blessing :will never be withdrawn.

THE BLES~ED VIRGIN.

Tributes from Protestant Poets.

J ohn K1~ble, a Protestant, addresses the following beautiful lines to the Blessed Virgin:­

"Ave Marie! thou whose nnflle All but adoring love rna~· claim; Yet may we reach thy shrine; For He, thy Svn and Savior vows To crown all lowly, lofty bl'ows With love and joy ltke thine.''

Many other Prqtestants have be!:'n poetically inspired by the sweet name of Mary, but we cnn give only a few. Edgar All en Poe thus implores the constant com panionship of the Blessed Virgin :

"At morn-at noon-at twilight dim..:_ Mary! thou hast heard my hymn: In joy :1nd woe-in good :1nd ill-Mother of Gad, be with me still!" r ••

Even Lord Byron, who-~P. morality was not of the highf-st order, w::~s compelled by admiration of the ImmHetdat.e Mother o£ Gocl to ejn.culate:

"Ave Maria! 'tis 'the hour of pmyer ! Ave Maria ! 'tis the hour oflove ! Ave Maria; mn.y our spirit da.re

Some men there arc wlto ltdtnire Lite monum ents of N:1ture more t.han the 1nonnmenb r,f Art, they sny it~

Tile ren.so n why n monntain or a hill pleases them better than ·,he Gratot monumPnt or the Barthol­ni Statue, whi0h grratly resembles it, is because the mount::~,in is there and n.lre;tdy pn.id fin· while you have to go around with a subscription pnper to builn the other kind of monuments. l like a mountain better than n monument because you chn u~e a. mountain but you can't a monumrnt. All a monument is goocl for is this; the ol(l country-yap" see one of them and think they ha,:e struck a daisy big hitching post, whieh they quickly put into us·<', only to l ·e chased off ·hy the "cops." Now on a mountain you c:1n build a house, ot· if it is to snowy you can try to cmss it and get lost in the snow; all this is very romantic, hut a st.ill more romantic thing is to climb ''P an<l roll off, but then your romance ends as soon HS yon "touch the hottom."

ORIGIN OF lDEAS.

Ok18. H. Ball.

It is a characteristic d' our imperfect minrl to reason, to deliberate, to be discursive in our intelleetual opera­tions, to mour,t by menns of comparative judgen;ents to the knowlenge of a new truth, to discover by dint ofmental digging. ideaf', judgemrnts, truths, which though they were ever true, lay fvr ui<, within the hid­cler. depths of the Ht•known. But 011 this subject, a'3 on most any principle in pbilosophy, there are many theories advancPd as to how t.he intell ect rcttlly does arrive at truth. Dome clni1o· that we re<:eive our ideas by direct intuiton, other~ through traditi~n, others hold the sy&tem or innate 1dcas, and others sltll that we receive ideas from impressif)ns made upon the senses. , All ttese system~ have many supporters but the one gflnerally accepted by Catholic theologians is that the intellect receives its ideas through the senses. But let us examine the systems and discover the individual

worth of e11eh. First we will consider the theory of the Ontologists

who claim the direct intllltion of our ideas from God.

they hold tb ut the mind by its own essence ha8 not suffici1mt po wer of cognition and hence should be assist­ed by some other principle, which principle is Gorl .. But in their theory they make false suppositions, they d o not expli.tin facts to be explained and they would lend logically to absurditi es; hut a ~ystem founded on such as tha t cannot be held, therefure the system of t b,e Ontologists must be rejected. Tlleir fal~e suppos­iti ons are tll a t obj ective truth is not compatil•le witlt direc t ideas whie;h :1re psychol ogical; that the ideal essence of things would be as uecessary, imm utn ble and eternal as the essence of God himself; that the ideas of infinite being and oE absolute perfection wnu!cl be proper and positive; bnt all of these are false, there­fore the Ontologist~ mH ke false suppositions. They do not explain facts to be explained. They are, why a nd lww, i11 the prescBt state of life, do our intellectn:tl cognitions d epelj(l upon sensitive cognition; why every pvs it i ve element of uur l:ognition should be corporeal a nn only known by analogy or tllroug h negation; why th <:: existence of Gocl is not evident. t o every one in­st~::arl of luving to be expla ineJ to all; but these things they d o 11 0t explai11, llenee we cann.ot accept their t heory.

L acordaire was an np4olcler of this system an d was most I ikely led on to his belief by his over ­zealous ness to refute the Rationalists.

Now let us take up the system of innate ideas. This

theory was lleld by Plato and is considered as onE) of the most ab~<truse questions iu philosophy. This school holds that at the creation of the intellect. ideas were infused int<) it and remain in out· minds in ~kind of a dorm1nt state until they are cu.lled forth hy some ob · jecti ve circumstance corresponding with the subject­ive idRa. Now for Lhe refu tation. That system must IJe rej ·3c ted where the iLleas cannot be conciliated with the unity of the nature of man; with the end of the natur­u.l C0;1juactl on of the body ancl soul; with the horror

· ::tt the separation of these ; wt~h tlle nature of innate species; but the system vfinn:ite ideas cannot be rec­onciled with t hese f:tcts, tlJPrefore tlle system or in .nate ideas m us~ be rejected. I sny that this theory can­not be reconciled witll the fact of the unity of man's nature. I prove it as follows ;~Man is constitut.ed of oue nn.tlll'e and hence has a unity of operntions. This being a fact, the intellectual part of his nature and the sensi. ti ve part must be either without aoy suhordination to one another, or the sensitive part must be superior and direct tlle intellectu<tl, or t.he intetlectual must l>e su­perior and direct the sensitive; but neither the first nor ~he seCOilcl can be S'\id, hence the third is true. If the first v.rere true, the unity of nature would be entirely cl estroyecl as tllere would be two dis tinct operations. independent of one another, sensitive and intellectual If the second, an aiJsurdity would follow. It is .prepos­terous t o think that tile intellectual part of man, wllich is in e very respect tlle superioi· part, would be subord­inal.eJ anu inferior to tl1C sensitive part.

Some one was kind enough to send me a copy of th<' JouRNAL for April 27th . .i was muuh pleased to rend over the many pages, but what a cba,ngel.All, or very nearly all, new names; With the exception of you editors, I guess very few are familiar. Notice Rev. M. A. Dovling is still with you. I wonder if he wontd remember me? What an interest he used to take in my welfare.

I notice H arvey has a joo, tell him to follow Greely's advice--"Go west young mann and make a success in the business.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.

Donohue's Magnzine for June is a spicy number, filled with articles of various interest, none of which will be fonnrl uni r. teresting. The "Ex-N un of K enmare" gets plenty of notoriety, something she has longed for so ard ently and sought so incessantly, but surely not in a way to he envied by the average person. Archbishop Ryn,n's n.dmi rabl e lecture, "Christian Civilization , and the Perils tbat Now Threaten It," is concluded; 'I' be Albigenses nnd their heresy are clearly exposed .

The EJm.ary Phrenix comes down hard on those who deface property as well as the ones who hE:Ip them­selves to books ~tnd papers from the Librnry. We can agree with the Pha!.11i'r. anrl think it not too severe in denunciation of these ungentlemanly practices. Abuses of these kincb are too often found and exposure is the only means left for such people.

The laat Censor is about as fanatical as it can conve­niently be. It takes the Journal to ta.sk tor an nssertion made ome time ago: "That the Protestant Pulpit has ceased to be a power." That declaration was made with the full assurance of it.s truth rtnd in oo spirit of

of this p:1rt nrc more logical tbari they are across the border, and shnke off all authority in religious matters. When you mention ''prie~t-ri(lden quebec~" let us say that it h·• the best educational system in Canada. There arc at least six first class College•, all con­nected wi\h Lavnl University; where men make a course uf SPVCn ancl eight years, not of jou1·, as they do in your second grac~P. school.~ of ·• Protestant Ontn.t·­io."

CATHOLIC NOTES.

Archbishop Corrigan blessed the New York proc2ssion in full pontificals.

In the Philistine islands there are Gl7 Dominican priests. 'I'hey have 69 parishes and 2:.! missions, and minister to 6 50,000 souls.

The dioceses of New York, Brooklyn, and Newark con- . taiu a Catholic population of 1,2.)0,000.

Last year 92,000 pilgrim3 from various parts of Canada and the United States visited the Canadian shrine of La bo11ne Sainte Anne.

Sir William Comer Peterham, CLief Justice, Calcutta, who is seriously ill , received Catholic baptism at the hands of Father Lafont.

Very Rev. D. Toadi Bruno, Hector (Jenera! of the Society of missions and author of the famous little work "Catholic Belief," is dead.

In 1881 there were six Catholics in the House of l~epresen­tatives of New Hampshire; in 188:1, nine; in 1885 ten; in 1887, nineteen; and this year there are twenty-four.

On the 9th inst. the Catholics of Was!tington gave a great public reception in honor of Bishop Keane on the return of the Hector of the American Catholic University.

The gifts selected from the Vatican Exposition and designed for the Archbishops of the United States were shipped on the 4th. of April. Among them, it is said, are a number of valuable manuscripts for the Harvard Univer­sity.

Miss Kate Drexel, daughter of the late :Francis A. Drexe, of Philadelphia, who left$ 6,000,000 to his three daughters has renounced the world. The young lady on may 7th. entered as a postulant the order of the Sisters of Mercy in Pittsburg.

Tho discoverer of the Pacific Ocean was a Catholic. the renowned Nasco de Boltua. Amerigo Vespucci, from whom America accidently received her name was a Catho­lic. The discoverer of the Atlantic States of this republic was John de Verrazain, a ·catholic.

The Irish Sister's of Charity, who not long ago celebrated the fiftieth anniversary, of their arrival in Australia, have made many foundations and done wonders for education and charity during that time . . Archbishop Can, of Melbourne, Victoria, has just introd.u.ccd tln ~n into his archdioceses where they will have charge of a primary school, will visit the sick in there own homes,. etc.

Our Holy Father has recently addressed a letter to Cardi­ual.Gibbons, in tl)e name of the Archbishops and Bishops of the United States. He congratulates them for the zeal they show in striving for the integrity of the Catholic Church,

. for the welfare of their dioceses, and especially for their earnestness in providing those means which secure the correct training of clergy and Christilln youth and the tP.aching of knowledge in every branch of divine and human sciences according to the rule of faith. Baltimore being the pi-incipal among the Episcopal Sees in the United States of North America, he grants to the Archbishop of that See, and his successors the office and authority of Supreme Moderator or Chancellor of the University.

Tl\e Catholic Congress assembled in Madrid on April 24th. 'rhere was a large and enthusiastic attendance. Twelve· Bishops were present. The Pope sent a telegram blessing the Congress, which body unanimously adopted a message in reply, declaring that the chief pnrpose of the Congress was

to work for the restoration of thel Temporal Power Of the Pope. This action has greatly ani:ioyed the government.

During Bishop Keane's lat2 visit to Eome the Holy Father caused to be placed in one of the grandest rooms of the Vatican his own magnificent portrait painted-by Ugolini which has presided over the jubilee exhibition. He sent for Bishop Keane and said; "1 intended :tbis to be placed in the ( Vatican gallery, but I give it to the Bishops of America for the Washington University. A.t the inauguration in Wash­ington on November 1 it will preside.

The proceedmgs of the Catholic congress at Vienna have fixed the attention of the whole of Germany. The clerical press is justly jubilant over the ..display of compact and widespread organization of the celeri<cals. The resolution adopted by the Congress have been accepted as the pro­gramme of the German Catholics. They demand a declara­tion ot the right to demand from the State ecclisiastical con­tra! of education, the restoration of Papal sovereignty, the prohibition <ll'f_Sundty trading, the endowiilg and fostering of the Catl1olic press, and the formation of co-operative . peasant communities.

The death of John McCarthy, a Catholic writer of consi­derable note, is a serious loss to Catholics. Journalism in this country, Mr. McCarthy was at one time editor of the Tablet, and subsequen:ly was assocfated with the late Mr. Hickey in the editorLal management oftlle Catholic Hevlew. He was a graceful writer and possessed a mind richly stored · with information on a variety of subjects,. At different periods Mr. McCarthy was engaged in journalistic labors on the leading secular papers of New York. In his waiting for those publications; says a biographer in the Catholic Review he never forgot that he was a Catholic and a gentleman and nothing defiled ever come from his pure peu.

March 28 a merting- of the rept·es ::mt::ttives of the Anstrian Benedictines took place nuder tl1 e pn·sidency of Cardinal Vanutolli. Its object was to comply with the Pope's wishes recently expressed in a Brief, to establisn greater union among different mon:tsteri l'S. and more perfect observance of rules. Germany owes t0 this order a ebb~· of gratitude which she has badly paid. Tlte n endict-ines, more than any other body of men reduced Oermauy from barbarism and bestowed upon her the bless ln.ss of c:1l'i:;;tian civilization. The Beform:ttion undid thei r work to a great extent, but they will live and prosper nuder the guiding hand of Leo XIU.

A vessel from lf Hnlith w\jc' t 'trrive-I hst week at San­Francisco brougl1t news of the cle;tth of the H.ev. Father . Damien. the Apostle of Molok:ti. He was called to his · reward on the 10t11. ult. Father Darnien was born in he led a lonely life of toil; priva~ion , :n ·l suffering almost without parallel in these times. ln 1'-';SU In w 13 strickn with loath­some disease to the victims of which he had so faithfully ministered, and his t;ouvain , Jtniuary 8, 1840 w~s sent to the 8andwich Islands. In 187iJ he became pastor o"' the leper settlement at :Molokai, where llis f~tte was sealed in common with that of his ontc:lst !'lock. t>oon after he was joined by another devoted priest and a self-sacrificing layman, who carry on his work. Father Damien had the consolation of offering 'the Holy Sacrifice till the end of March, when his own great sacrifice b<'gml to be consummated. The present century can boast of no truer hero or braver martyr than the Apostle of Molokai. His life and his death are his best eulogy.
