OPPRESSION OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

The resolve passed by the Democratic
State Convention denouncing the new-fang-
led system of managing the schools, which
was enacted last winter, is matter of more
Importance than is generally attached to it by
the people of the larger towns and cities. I'm
the towns that are sparscly populated and
poor the management of their school system
by districts is a matter of no small concern
to them. Nothing lies nearer to parents
heart than the manner of his chld's eluca-
tion-the consideration of when, where and
how there shall be installed into the mind of
that child the foundation principles which
shall guide him through life-and more cs-
pecially what those principles shall be. He
wants the privilcgeof selecting and knowing
something of the person to whom his child is
to be entrusted. Under the old school dis
trct system he could do this perfectly. Ii
was pure democracy, in which each mans
desires and wishes were respected as much
as possible, consistently with the common
welfare. The system worked we'll and to the
general satisfaction. Good schools were had,
and out of their training came the men and
women that are peopling our country to-day.
And it was mainly because each parent had
a share in the management and personal sup
ervision of the schools.
The legislature of last winter, in the most
unwisc and arbitrary manner, so changed
the law as to overthrow the old and satisfac-
tory system, and substitute one by which it
is claimed that the schools can be managed
better by some one outside the district. A
supervisor or committee is required to be
elected by every town, with a heavy fine up
on the town in case it fails to make such
election. The districts are required to raise
money, to be expended by such committee
or supervisor, and not by their agent. Neither
have the districts any voice in the selection
or employment of their teachers, the super
visor kindly taking that out Of their hands,
and fixing the pay of teachers. All the duty
that the members of the district have is to
accept the leading strings of the supervisor,
and pay the bills that he contracts.
1t was the remark of a wise man that ''the
world is governed too much" 1t was in
tended to apply to the affairs of the old
world, and to the fussy intermeddlng by
despotisms with those matters which should
be left to manage themselves. The notion
has been adopted by the party now in power
in this country. 1t assumes to know better
what the people want than they themselves
know, and by arbitrary laws to compel them
to walk in the paths it has marked out 1t
assumes by its sumptuary laws to put an en-
actment at the top of every PERSONS gullet
to challenge the morsels that 60 down. II
makes inquisitorial search into every persons
business, asks how he lives, and makes him
swear to it, in search of an income to tax.
And finally it has put its finger into the mat
ter of districts schools in the manner recited.
We shall be much surprised if the people
Of Maine do not indicate at the polls dis
position to check this sort of enterprise.

MURDER OF THE WARDEN OF THE CONNEC-
TIcuT STATE Prison. Captain William Will
lard, warden Of the Connecticut State Prison,
ut Wethersfeld, was brutally murdered by
James Wilson, one of the convicts, on Sun
day afternoon. Wilson had been put into
cell for six weeks close confinement for max
ing an attempt to escape from the prison.
cell to see what he {Wilson) had written up
on his slate. The warden was reading the
slate, standing in front of the cell, when Will
son reached his cane through the bars, hay
ing previously tied the blade of shoe knife
to the end of it, and stabbed him in the abdo-
men, in1icting a wound which caused Will
lard's death in few hours. The wound sew
cred tho intestine, causing it to protrude.
Willard was able to reach his room, but died
from Inflammation and loss of blood at about
six o'clock. Wilson was sentenced last Octo-
Der to prison for sixteen years for burglary
in q dry goods store in Hartford. He lat
tempted to escape from prison about six
weeks ago, but was detected and has since
been closely confined He was cripple,
having several years ago escaped from the
Michigan State prison in cold weather and
had both feet frozen off. He was allowed
cane to walk with. which accounts for his
having it in the cell at the time of the MUIR
Mr.. Willard had been warden of the prison
for about eight years. He had expressed
fears of his life from the hands of Wilson.
The latter has been stubborn and ugly since
his confinement, and Mr.. Willard has inform
ed his friends that Wilson was the only man
he feared. Wilson on Saturday told some
of the attendants that there would be fun be-
fore another sun went down. Mr. Willard
was universally esteemed and respected
wherever known. He was 50 years old
A CAMDEN MAN NOMINATED FOR Con-
GREss. Hon. Philander j. Carleton, of the
firm of Carleton, Norwood & Co., Rockport,
received the nomination by a unanimous vote
of the Fifth Congressional District Democrat
ic Convention, held at Bangor on Tuesday.
The convention thought the district needed a
Representative who fully understands the
practical wants of the shipping interest and
the measures necessary to restore its pros
perity; and from his intimate connection
with the interest in question and his ac
knowledged ability the nominee was consid-
cred to be the right man and Congress the
right place for him. Mr.. Carleton was State
Senator last winter. We do not know what
his chances are to obtain a seat in the nation
al Legislature as a representative from this
Congressional district, but we do know that
he is personally very popular and highly es-
teemed for his many good qualities, both al
home and abroad, wherever he is known

THE poPEs TEMPORAL DEPOSITION

THE POPES TEMPORAL DEP POSITION.
From the N. Y. Times.
One of the great events of the past sum-
mer-the destruction of the temporal power
of the Pope, and the reduction of the Holy
Father to the simple position of high
priest-has fallen fiat on this generation.
Two years ago it would have been considered
one of the grand apocalyptic revolutions,
the accomplishment of prophecy, and the
heralding of the speedy coming of the new
'kingdom." Preachers would have COM
mented on it, and prophetic writer's would
have demonstrated its harmony with mystic
rious and ancient predictions. Moralists
would have seen in it the final undermining
of priestly power in temporal things, and
that secularization of the worlds religious
institutions which has been the dream of so
many reformers. But the ''capital of two
civilizations" has been transformed into the
capital of the kingdom of Italy, and the
great spiritual monarchy, which for so many
centuries had its foot ON the neck of kings,
has been dethroned, while the world of Eu-
rope and America have hardly noted the oc-
currence or if they have, scarcely felt more
excitement over it than if the kingdom of
Greece were overturned. This great revolu-
tion, and the triumphant expression of un-
limited dogmatic knowledge by the Gcumeni-
cal Council, have signally failed to arouse
the anticipated deep interest of mankind. As
dramatic scenes, they may be said to have
been failures.
!, The causes are not obscure. The earnest
sympathy of modern peoples is not with re-
ligious leaders, their doctrines, or their
organizations. Modern thought and feeling
are far more called out toward political re-
forms and political revolutions. So stu
pendous political change as has been going
on this summer wherein the first military
power of Europe has been humbled, Cesarisn
or personal government has exploded, and a
qaiet and earnest race have taken the first
place in European progress, has quite ab
soroed the thoughts of men, and given then
little opportunity of studying the destinies o.
the priesthood. Events so wonderful as th'
overthrow and capture of Napoleon in
six weeks campaign, the siege of Paris
the declaration Of republic, and the appa
rently threafened chaos of political parties il
France, have caused the smaller fortunes ant
revolutions of the Popedom to be compare
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1870-10-15

lively neglected. Moreover, many will recall
that il is but sixty years since that the Pope
WAS deposed and deprived of his dominions
by far more powerful potertate than Victor
Emmanuel, and yet in six years he was again
restored 1t is true that now he has his own
people against him, and then his predeces-
sors had foreign conqueror. But in the
changes which must occur during the next
twenty years throughout Europe, it is not
at all an improbable event that portions
of the Roman or Celtic races may unite to
replace the Pope on his throne, and may
succeed.
The indifference of Protestants. however
to this great event may arise from a yet
deeper cause. It's becoming more and more
doubtful whether the deprivation of the Pope
of his temporal power will much diminish his
spiritual influence in distant countries. I'm
doubtedly in Italy, the humbling of the head
of the Church to the condition of a superior
bishop, without an army or a treasury, or
sny considerable territory, will lower him in
the eyes of the ignorant and lessen his
power over their minds. But, in the opinion
of foreigners and even with the reformers of
his own country, the fact that there is no
distinctly Papal territory, with a out-throst
army, and the worst government
and most corrupt administration
in Europe, will really free the Pope
upon him. Hitherto the American or Eng
lish hereto and European reformer has said
''The Papal States are sample of the legiti-
mate effect of Roman Catholic principles
transferred to politics. Here you have the
religious State which the Church desires to
found in America and England, and every
where else." The rapacity, illegality, cor
ruption, and tyranny of the Roman States
were perpetual and unanswerable argument
against the Popes Government. This is
henceforth removed. The Pope stands before
the world simply as priest of religion and
bishop of souls. He can now be the successor
of the apostles in his poverty as well as his
sanctity. No political stains now rest upon
him; nosuspicion..of princely luxury or princely
oppression. He has no relation to the powers
of this world. His subjects may be under
republics or monarchies or empires He rules
over souls.
Such a figure, the centre of the Church's
affection, freed from earthly insignia and
earthly complications, supposed to be the
humble object of persecution and the sanity
model of sanctity, will, in our Judgment, pos
sess far deeper influence over the Roman
Catholics of all countries than did ever a
petty italian prince, governing badly a
wretched and oppressed population.
