: SYMPATHIE

OX0

Ma muse sommeillait, mon luth était paisible, J'aurais, pour acclam?r tes succes tout récents,

Y NE $ à Î Cher hé loigtemps en vain la note de mes chants : Voila que ta douleur fait mon ame sensible.

A ton pauvre foyer, déja trop dégarni, À peine le baheur allait-il apparaître, Qu'un funeste destin y vint s'asseoir en traître, Imposant x toit cœur un si cruel déni.

L’impitoyable sort —funeste destinée !— Voulut que ton beau front, couronné le matin, Vint se pencher, le soir, trop précoce orphelin, Pour pleurer, le départ de l’affectionnée !

Et je te vis, hélas ! courb: pros du cercueil

Qui retenait captif l’objet de tes tend esses ;

Ton noble cœur brisé d'angoisses, de tristesses, Attendrissait le mien :.. Je porte aussi mon deuil !

Puisque tes pleurs pieux firent couler mes larmes,

Et puisque ta douleur évoque ma douleur,

Permet donc que ce chant froid, amer comme un pleur, Fasse a mon amiti: partager tes alarmes.

Mais ceux qui sont partis, qui vivent dans les cieux, Sont maintenant, tu sais, nos anges tutélaires, Malgré que leur départ nous laisse solitaires :

La foi nous dit, chrétiens, qu’ils entendent nos vœux.

Puis, la-haut est un Dieu—c'est le meilleur des pères !— è Qui veille sur chacun et prend soin de nos cœurs :

Oui, sous l’épine aigue il met toujours des fleurs :

Pour Mère il nous donna la plus tendre des mères !

SOYONS SEULEMENT CATHOLIQUES

(Voici ce que dit -‘l'Osservatore Romano,” traduit et reproduit par la ‘Semaine Religieuse” de Cambrai :

Une grande et belle parole a été dite par M. Carton de Wiart au Congrès de la Ligue démo- cratique en Belgique. Parlant de la nécessité de l’union entre les catholiques, M Carton de Wiart a demandé qu'on laissàt de côté les surnoms, les adjec- tifs, vu qu'il suffit de se dire ca- tholique, et rien que catholique.

Une fois qu'ii est ad ais et re- connu—comme cela l’est en ré- alité—que la doctrin: catho- lique est une doctrine complète et parfaite, à laquelle on ne peut rien ajouter et d'où l'on n° peut rien retrancher, 1l en résulte lo- giquement et nécessairement qu'il faut aussi admettre une chose : c'est qu'au nom de ca- tholique, à ce substantif, il n’y a rien à ajouter, rien à retran- cher

Et alors, pourquoi établir tant de catégories de catholiques : li- béraux, démocrates, sociaux et même sosialistes ? 1! est certain que ces subdivisions par voie de qualificatifs, de noms et de sur- noms entre catholiques, si elles n’entrainent pas de différence substantielle dans ies idées et dans les aspirations, elles pro- duisent une confusion grave [non leve] dans les mots, qui très facilement devient une con- fusion taneste dans les idées et dans les faits.

11 arrive en effet, souvent, que l'adjectif prend le dessus sur le substantif dans les idées et dans les faits, et ainsi il peut arriver très facilement que l'on soit plus “libéral” que catholique, plus “démocrate” que catholique, et même que l'on soit ce que signi- fie l» qualificatif, avant d'être ce que comporte le nom lai- méme.

On 2 fait valoir avec beaucoup de raison l'exemple du Centre catholique all:ma d Les catho- liques allemands ne sont pas di: vistset sublivisés en ceatho- liques conservateurs, démo- crates, économiques, Sociaux. 1ls ont été toujours et ils se sont tonjours prociamés catholiques et rivu que cela ; c'est pourquoi lenr nnion a toujours été et est encore cordiale, compacte et j- naltérable…

Ce grand uom de catholique n'engendre- aucun donte, ne pro- duit aucune confasion, comme peuvent le faire des sermons ambigus, des adjectifs indécis.

1lya bien lieu de craindre que la maudite secte, p:us pos- sédee jue jamais par le démon du mensonge et de la division, ne soit appliquée à inventer de nouveaux vocables, à introduire dénominatiens

de Lou velles

dans le camp des catholiques

{ pour créer des erreurs et des il- tusions pour amener des divi- sions—comme elle y a déjà ré-

lussi en parti quand elle a pré-

tendu distinguer les cléricaux des catho:iques.

Ce serait chose malheureuse que, axec les meilleures inten- tions du monde, par le seul fait d'accepter que des adjectifs soient joints au nom de catho- lique, ou de changer en simple adjectif ce granu substantif,— on fit le jeu de ceux qui, ne ré- ussissant pas à diviser entreeux les catholiques, en matière de convictions et de sentiments au moyen de fausses doctrines, es- saient de les diviser dans l’ac- tion et dans les œuvres au mo- yen d'adjectifs superflus de sur- noms équivoques.

Prenons bien garde, car le diable est très rusé.

Alors qu'il est si nécessaire de

tenir bien unies, compactes, les forces catholiques, alors qu'il ne faut point perdre ni mettre hors de combat la moindre de ces forces, nous devons éviter a- vec soin tout danger d’altérer, de rompre, n'importe comment, cette admirable, cette indispen- sable union. { 11 semble que, en pareilles circonstances, on ne peut pas reculer même devant les plus grands sacrifices.

En l'occurence, le sacrifice est plutôt léger ; il ne s'agirait que de sacrifier un mot, un adjectif, un surnom lequel d'un côté pourrait faire soupçonner une division qui n'existe pas, et d’un autre coté, pourrait amener cette division, par vwne déplorable conséquence.

DAVIS & LAWRENCE CO, Ltd, & Prop.du Perry Davis Pain Killer,

President Tuttle on the Proposed New Freight Schedule.

In a recently published interview, President Lucius Tuttle of the Boston & Maine Railroad effectually disposes of the so-callcd ‘Baltimore plan” to reorganize the present basis of freight schedules adopted by the railroads of the United States by substituting a tariff of so much per ton per mile.

This scheme is the outgrowth of an effort on the part of the business men of Baltimore to forestall any unfavo- rable result upon the export trade of that city growing out of the enforced dissolution of the Joint Traffic Asso- ciation, and it is announced that they intend to petition Congress to enact a law placing railroad freight rates on that revolutionary basis.

President Tuttle, while pointing out that the idea is wholly impracticable, ani giving as his opinion that it will be a long time before the present “block” system of making railroad freight tariffs in this country is super- seded by any other arrangement, at the same time presents some logical and forceful arguments in favor of large railroad systems, of which the Boston & Maine is itself an excellent example.

In the course of his statement, Mr. Tuttle says :

«Competition between roads brings about that rate-cutting which may prove disastrous to those for whose benefit it was ostensibly devised. The competition here is no longer that of one town against another, but a con- test in which New England is pitted against every part of the country in the attempt to market its products and manufactures in every part of the world. A great system of railroads can give to every customer upon its line equal territorial facilities for market- ing its goods, and through its con- nections with similarly powerful sys- tems makes its customers competitors everywhere under the most advanta- geous conditions. The effort of the railway manager today is directed to the cheapening of rates s0 that his customers can get their goods into the markets of the world so as to com- plete with those situated upon other systems, rather than to get more money out of the shippers or receivers upon his line. lhus the competition becomes territorial rather than local, and a great system, embracing a sec- tion, can best deal with the question and give those within its jurisdiction the better and cheapest service.

‘The railroad ousiness is not in à satisfactory way, notwithstanding the efforts of the Interstate Commission and the use of various expedients from which much was expected. The solution of the problem is one that taxes the ingenuity of practical rail- road men and they are very much at a loss what to do. It is reasonable to suppose that others who possess no natural aptitude for the work or ex- perience in it, can settle this matter as is proposed by the Baltimore plan ? When each section of the country has its own transportation system whose interests in establishing fair rates would be as great as the maintenance of them afterward, then will the tiorbles now complaiued of disappear largely and a better state of things prevail for everyone concerned.”

PROOF FROM Port Hope, Ont.

Mr. W. À. Russel, the Popular Dis- trict Agent for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, Proves that Doan’s Kidney Pills Cure Kidney Ills.

This is his statement : ‘‘I suffered for five or six years with pains across my back, headaches, dizziness, and kindred kidney troubles. I got very bad, and when driving would often have to stop the horse, as the pains were so severe that 1 could not stand them. I tried a great many medicines, but they did me no good. I then got Doan's Kidney Pills at Watson's drug store, took them for one month, and am completely cured. I regard the cure as a remarkable testi- mony to the virtues of Doan's Pills, and am only too La to recommend them to all sufferers from kidney trouble in any form."

Doan’s Kidney Pills are a never-failing remedy for Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Dro sy, Backache and Weak Back, Gravel, Sedi- ment in the Urine, and all Urinary troubles of children or adults. Price soc. a box, 3 for 1.25, all druggists. The Doan Kidney Pill
