The question of the use Of the Bible in
the public schools has now got into the
Ohio Legislature, where, on Monday, Mr..
Ward, Of the reform delegation from
Cincinnati, introduced bill prohibiting the
reading of the Bible or the singing Of hymns
in the public schools. Other Western
States are also agitated on the subject
Governor Fairchild, of Iowa, says IN his
message: on cannot but be aware of TIE
fact that there is an element in this country
which is seeking 10 overthrow our common
school system. Each year it is becoming
bolder and its hostility more pronounced
Those who are engaged 10 this devilish as
sault upon the bulwarks Of the republic are
not true friends of our free institutions, and
should be promptly rebuked by all good
citizens The West is a good place to try
this important question, Tor there is no sec
ton of the country freer from the spirit Of
religious bigotry

A PLOT AGAINST THE COMMON

A New York contemporary, remarAing
upon a report Of the Union League Club in
reference to a Roman Catholic plot to un
dermine and overthrow the public school
system of that State, says: Accompanying
the report is a statement so lengthy that we
omit it-of the division that was made last
year of the public moneys thus diverted
from public to religious sectarian purpose
Out of total sum Of S52S, 742 Al, no less
than $4l2, 062 %, or more than four fifths
Of the whole, went to Roman Catholic
schools in the city Of New York, the number
of which maintained by this robbery of the
public purse was eighty. The following are

AMERICAN CARPETS. 1t is fact, which
the buyers of carpets are not genesaLy aware
of. that almost the entire carpet trade of
this country is supplied by Philadelphia
manufacturers. This trade has grown up
since 1862, and is one of the results of pro-
lection. Since 1862 the business has in
creased to four times what it was at that
time. Then all our best carpets were i'm
ported: now the very best in the market are
of our own manufacture, though they are
often marked and sold as imported carpets
to please the fancy of silly people who ina
gine nothing homemade can possibly be
good enough for them.

The United States last year expended
three hundred millions Of dollars in building
between seven and eight thousand miles of
railroads 1t is estimated that fifteen thou
sand miles of railroad are now under con
structiou and that the expenditure this year
will be SIX hundred millions of dollars. Shall
American laborers be paid for the manufac
ure of the vast quantities of iron necessary
for these roads, or shall we send our gold
abroad to buy it in foreign markets while
cur own people are idle? This is the ques-
tioo now before US. Free traders say go
abroad and buy Of our enemies, while our
own people starve for want of employment

gold and pay it to our own people, and it

A YER's CHERRY PECTORAL,

For Diseases of tIe Throat and Lungs, saeb az

Probobly never before in the whole history Of
medicine has anything won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence Of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints
Through a long series of years, and among most
Of the races Of men 1t has risen higher and high
or in their estimation, it has become better
known. Its uniform character and power to cure
the various affections of the lungs and throat.
have made it known reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and 10 young children, it is at the same time the
most efectual remedy that can be given for Incl
pient consumption, and the dangerous affections
Of the throat and lungs. As provision against
sudden attacks Of Group, it should be kept
hand in every family, and indeed all some
times subject to colds and coughs, all should be
provided with this antidote for chem.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers Of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mas
terry over the disorders Of the lungs and Throat,
that the most obstinate ofthcm yield to It. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
Peetora they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great protee-
tion from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses,
So nerally are its virtues known that We need
not publish the certificates of them here or do
more than assure the public that its qualities are
fully maintained.

MORE Com DEMANDED, The director
Of the e. S. Mint at Philadelphia has re-
commended the issue of additional small
silver coins to meet The demands of business.
The government has successfully replaced
the worn out and defaced 8 and cent scrip
to the great advantage and comfort of the
people, ana the time has come when another
step is imperatively demanded The eoun-
try is flooded with defaced, filthy, worn out
10 cent scrip that should at once give place
to a coin Of the same denomination. The
coinage Of ten, fifteen, twenty and twenty
/ FIVE cent pieces is advocated, the same to be
oflighter weight than the old coins Of the
sane values, but Of the same purity so that
they can be recoined in future into the stand
ard coins. The light weight insures their
retention in the country for change, instead
Of being sent abroad as the old silver coins
have been. Whether the larger ones can
be supplied at present or not, We hope to
see Congress promptly authorize the issue
of the ten cent coins. The business of the
country demands it and it will be one more
step toward specie payments,

IT viii be seen by reference to the sum
mary Of legislative proceedings that the
Legislature has voted each member 800
for postage in lieu of the franking privilege.
This is better than the franking abuse and
will amount to several Thousand dollars less
than the franking expenses last year, but the
Improvement is SO small that we must recall
the greater part of the commeDdation we
gave our members for repeating the frank
ing privilege. With no Record and very
few documents to send, there are but few
members whose necessary postal expenses
during a term of so days will exceed $25.
One hundred dollars for so days allows IS
letters each day; there are not half dozen
members whose correspondence on public
business viii reach half that amount daily.
In our opinion $50 would have been iiber
al allowance for each member. But as they
are in the way of improvement We must
not perhaps, be too exacting.

SUBSIDIES OF LAND TO RAILROADS. -
We are glad 10 note disposition in Con
gress to refuse further subsidies to rail

precedent which has brought a hungry
horde Of railroad spectators to the doors
of Congress asking aid in lands and bonds.
Now Is the time, at once and forever, to put
a stop to the custom of granting lands to
huge corporations. Every foot Of land so
granted is put in the hands of spectators
and out of the reach of honest settlers,
And these companies always manage tc get
possession Of the very best land, and leave
the swampy and barren to be offered to bona
fde settlers. Let the voice OF the people
be lifted up in every part Of the land against
the abuse Of large grants of public lands to
corporations. II is an alarming and grow
ing evil and the most effective measures
should be used to stop it at once. We
know this is the sentiment of the people
