THE MARES MIST IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Some of the Pufitans have made the discovery
or pretend to have done so-that onc-auarter of
the members of the Board Of Education are
Papists. and that one-half the members of the
ward boards and one-third Of all the teachers
now employed in public schools belong to the
same dissemination. Over this mares nest the
most terrible outcry is set up, and We are wsrn-
ID thai We are rapidly passing under The control
Of the Pope of Rome.
OF soursc We don't mean for a moment 10
deny The right OF these Puritans to feel shocked
and annoyed nj anything they please, nor do we
question the soundness of the Protestant school
system. But IL is little curious that, with all
the alleged superiority Of the Protestant sys-
tenn over the Catholic, the Protcstants should
be forever complaining Of the Catholics over
riding them, and that the Catholics should sue
coed 20 much better than the Protestants do in
implanting their doct.ncs upon the mind of
their scholars
II there be a grievance connected with the
public schools it is not the prcdominance Of
Catholic teachers or members Of the Board Of
Education, but the enormous sum million
and a quarter--that II spent on them, and the
little good that comes of it. If our Protestant
teachers would devote little thought TO this
point in the discussion, they would do much
more good than they can by railing at Catholic
performance in sie BoaDl Of Education.

ia thc Governors mind Az to the ether ground
given for the comma tatiou, the youth of the
prisorer, We hcve repeatedly shown that youth
has ceased to be in this city any ground for es-
csp;ng punishment. All co. crimes are the
work Of very youthful hands; the murders, the
rapes and the assaults which disgrace this city
are uniformly the work of boys Of the age Of
O'Oonnell.
Broadway was disgraced the other day by n
procession in honor of the late Paudeen or
Mclaughlin, who was shot in barroom ARRAY
few days before. Hundreds of shcrt boys,
pickpockets, prize fighters, rowdies and rufians
assembled to follow Paudeen to the grave just
as the same classes met to form the convoy Of
the late Bill Poole. Had he been q useful citi-
gen. public benefactor, instead of criminal
and public nuisance, his death could not have
attracted more sympathy. But even the pre-
sence of his remains could not quell the spirit
oflawlessness among the followers of the fune-
raj. Absolutely, on the way to the grave two
of the friends Of Paudeen and Cunningham
fought so furiously that they narrowly escaped
sending each other where Paudeen has gone
Such disgraceful apectacles in civilized city
like this could not occur if the police did their
duty in experimenting, the courts theirs in con-
demning, the Governor his in refusing to par
don criminals of the stamp Of Maurice O'Con-
nell. But neither the police, nor the courts,
nor the Governor do their duty; hence rowdy-
ism and crime flourish, and the next time "the
fancy" want to send Senator to Albany, as
they did last fall, they will doubtless succeed.
