The Growth Of The Catholic Church.


To he Editor Of he Commercial; i;
The following extract is taken from the Ro-
man Catholic Almanac for 1879;
1.-THE growth OF the Catholic Church in our
midst has proportionately far odtstripped that
OF the Republic In period OF 80 years. the
United States has increased from IS States 20 ~
States and 13 Territories while the church,d Dur
ing period Of 81 years, has Increased II N one
Bishopric to "a Bishoprics.6 Vicariatea Apostonc,
aud Mitred Abbots. The population OF the
country has increased from 2.S03, 900 n about
90 600 00O an increase OF l. 433 per cezi sum
while the Catholic population has increased from
25 600 to about s, Sod, ,000 an increase Of 22,000
per centum. The increase in our Catholic pop
ulation has resulted from foreign immigration,
the natural growth Of our native population,
conversions from the scots, and accessions from
the Indian tribes. This salvation CT the Indians
has ever been one of the dearest aims OF the
Catholic Church. The church is conservative
and productive. Had her efforts not been de-
feated by the non-CatiIolic and inhuman policy
pursued towards the Indians, they too, would
have been prepared for an enlightened ciViliza-
tion on earth, and for the enjoyment OF the beat
ific vision in heaven"
"Our clergy have increased from 21 Priests, in
1890, to about 1900 dispensing the blessings Of
faith and religion to five and half millions OF
Catholics, worshipping at 4,250 churches and
100 chapels and stations. The incense OF
prayer and benediction ascends also from thous-
ands OF institutions dedicated to religion, educar
tion and dispensing inestimable blessings upon
| the land"

our EDUCATIONAL CONDITION..

We print to-day, number Of extracts from
the annual report of Commissioner Eaton, OF
the National Bureau Of Education. They con-
tain some valuable statements and observations
on the condition Of education in our State
though they are only satisfactory because our
wretchedly deficient system furnishes no com
plete statistics or reports Of facts. We should
know much more than we do of the practical op-
