"a RUINED STArE."-The public debt Of the State
is somewhere IN the nsighborhood oftwenty millions
of dollars. he interest on this debt is something
a mill ion o. dollars. The tolls received the
State canals during the current year amount to
TWO MILLIONS AND THIRTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
After paying the interest the Who'll. debt Of the
State, there is surplus Of overa million Of dollars
from the canal tolls TO be applied towards defray-
ing the expenses of Supsrinteidence, REPAIRS col
lections &c, and to the prosecution of the work of
enlargement. When two years ago the Commission.
ors told US that soona.er the completion Of the
largement, Tho gross amount CT tolls would proba-
bly, exceed three millions of dollars, Locofoce
rdiculed the pr ediction. Already, however, with
the work not hall completed and far within the time
referred to by the COMMISSIONER The gross tolls ex
coed two millions. Can it be doubted that W thin
few years the receipts on our public works will be
swellcd TO three millions of dollars! Who then,
with such prospects ahead, shall speak of New
York SO ruined State )" shall counsel the aban-
donment Of that policy which has already added so
much TO her wealth. population and prosperity.

'roT thrice that amount the publisher of his

Considered as mere entertainment, how su-
Perior Is this vast and sacred panorama to the
empty pageantry of the initiative stage. 1t
has sometimes been said that the citizens of
the United States have no relish for amuse-

regularly furnished by newspapers, is the chief
amusement OF the American people. What
makes 1t far more interesting is, that the spec

world, also informs the citizen when the cleo
ton is coming on at his own door, and when
he may have the delightful excitement ofvot-
ing in or voting out his neighbor, or better
still, of being voted in or voted out himself, as
tine fiat of the sovereign people may decide.
Independent, however, of this consideration,
the value of the general diffusion of knowledge
can hardly be overrated. There can be little
risk in saying that without the facilities for
conveying information which are afforded by
the joint action of the great modern improve
ments in locomotion and printing, the exist
ence of republican government among a
population SO thinly scattered as ours, over so
vast territory, would have been entirely i'm.
possible.

taken up in earnest the project Of establishing a

er by the Minister Of Marine for the special pur-
p,se of Investigating the actual condition Of steam

the Improvements that have been made. The
visit of the Prince de Jonville itself has not been
without reference 10 this object, as we Judge from
paragraph in the Jou nal des Debats. Ii is ad

M. D'Aubigny is of opinion that the clnse Of
1912 may be assigned as the time in which first

to serve admirably, in time Of peace, for the

he dethrones this fundamental principle of our
system, aud introduces scctarian parties in pol

rule. He must know that the Catholics are
not the strongest. and in such a contest, all

as common enemy. The next step will be
the establishment of test oath TO exclude Cath.

But they will say that TO be taxed for Protestant
sen"ois, and also 10 support their own Catholic
schools, is hardship. Bur we reply that they
get more than the worth of their muney in their
general instruction Of The Protestant schoos, and
That II they would counteract their Protestant in
nuence, they can do it by Catholic Instruction al
ineir own hresides; and that instead of paving
money to support Catholic schools, they should
require their Clergy TO give instruction gratis.
we can hardly suppose that Bishop Hughes,
while SO anxious TO keep the lambs Of his flock
from the errors of Professionalism, will grudge any
voluntary and gratuitous efforts for the purpose.
II he do, he will give occasion among his people
70 say That he is more anxious to pocket Protest
AM money, than save Catholic snnls.
Just before the late election in New York,
Bishop Hughes attempted to organize party up
on secta:ian grounds, and partly succeeded.
A portion of the Catholics, under his direction,
nominated ticket in New York, for members
of the Legislature, putting on it portion Of
those already nominated by the democratic
party. But these last denied any intention Of
favoring The Bishops design upon the school
fund. aud the organ of that party, the Evening
Post. and made the denial public before the
election. bout the same time, and before the
election, numerous meeting of the naturalized
citizens of the Catholic religion, was held in
Tammany Hail. and passed resolutions strongly
condemning any attempt 10 unite religion and
politics. Since the election. a meeting of the
Catholics who favor the Bishops project, has
assembled in New York. and adopted rcsolu-
tons approving such design. Therefore the
Bishops party is now fairly in The field, and lis
avowed object is TO elect members TO the legis-
lature who will vote for sectarian division of
the school fund. In other words, the design of
The Bishop is, TO organize sectarian, Catholic
party in politics. and unite Church and Suite.
