In letter from Grace Green wood to the
New York Times on the Inauguration, she
makes the following bitingly sarcastic allus
ion to the late vice president and his sue
cessor
DOUBTLESS he has keealy suffered, for
his reputation was passing dear to him ;
doubtless he administered the oath TO his
successor, and gave the gaval into his
hands, with great sadness, though hardly
with reluctance. As they stood there, face
to face, the friendly rivals-one in the
sunshine and one in the shade-there was
at least one man in that chamber who felt
that SCHUYLER Colfax was at heart as honest
and well meaning as himself, and that man
WAS Henry Wilson.
Upon which the Catholic Review re-
marks
1t is always woman who, when she is
savage, is most fearsome Of foes. Which
one of our Vice residents is left in the
worst plight by this concluding thrust we
hardly like to say.

ance of several eminent scholars and

Lace may be restored to its original
whiteness by first ironing it slightly, then
folding it and sewing it into clean linen
bag, which is placed for twenty four hours
in pure olive oil. Afterwards the bag is
boiled in a solution of soap and water for
fifteen minutes, then well rinscd in luke
warm water, AMI finally dipped in water
containing slight proportion of starch.
The lace is then taken from the bag, and
stretched on pins to dry.
Silver should never be allowed to grow

water, with hard soap. Wipe hard and

THE ELECTION.

In another column we give the
returns of the election in this coun-
ty in tabular form, so far as we
have been able to get them. The
table will be corrected next week
by the official count of the COM
missioners.
The entire Farmers ticket, it will
be seen, is elected, with the excep-
ton of DR.. Morris, for coroner, and
he declined to serve.
In this district Mr.. frey has q
hattering majority. Up to Monday
morning we believed the race be-
tween him and Mr.. Patty would be
close, with the chances in favor Of
the latter gentleman. On Monday,
the temperance people of the city,
believing the fight on Mr.. frey,
was on account of his well known
temperance principles, began to raj
ly around him, and Mr.. Patty's chan
ces In the city were greatly de-
creased by their efforts. In the
country, the farmers entertained the
idea that the attempt to beat Mr..
frey was q fight upon their cause,
and hence their ranks were closed
up, and an active fight was made
for him, and the result was that he
carried all the townships by good
majorities,. Notwithstanding Mr.
Patty's popularity. In the 69th dis
trict II. f. Mcmillan had little real
opposition. These gentlemen have
been Republicans, and we suppose
may be set down now as men,
beers OF the party. Both were nom-
mated by Farmers conventions,
aud are in full sympathy with the
reforms sought to be made by them.
We shall he disappointed If both do
not make good records at Topeka
this winter. On the Senatorial
question they are entirely untram-
meled, but will probably warmly
support Col. Plumb, should he go
into the fight. Both are well in
formed gentleman, and Mr.. frey
is a good public speaker. We don't
know whether Nc. makes any pre-
tensions in that line or not.
Here and all over the county the
Aght on treasurer end clerk, excited
much attention. Mr.. Ernst. the fars
mers' nominee for the first named
ONCE was energetically opposed by
our townsman, George w. Freder-
lex. Mr.. +. carried the city by o
majority which is certainly very
complimentary to him, and Is an
exhibition of the high estimation in
which he is held by his neighboEs.
Dave Gilmore was after the
clerks Office lively, and the large
vote be everywhere met with, is the
highest testimonial that could be
given to his superior qualifications
for the place. he had hsld the of
fee four years, which fact alone
worked against him. But the far
mers realizing the strength and in
huence the Offices would give their
cause, just came out of their homes
and voted the straight ticket. The
victory they won pleases them, and
no doubt will be influential in aid
ing the general cause of the farmers
throughout the country. Now let
them remember that all eyes will he
upon them in the fnt9re,

AN IRISH MovEMENT.-An Irish
Catholic convention recently in ses-
sion at st. Louis hiss discussed two
topics of prime interest, the one
being the absence of religion from
the public schools, and the other
the project of taking the Irish from
the laboring work in which they
are mostly employed and coloniz-
ing them as farmers on the cheap
lands of the west. In most of the
eastern cities, says the Philadelphia
North American, the Catholics have
separate schools of their own, and
they are large and well provided.
But it seems that large number OF
the Catholic Irish still send their
children to the public schools in
preference, partly because they are
free, partly because they are all
highly respectable and the associa-
tons pleasant, but chiefly because
the education Is better and sounder.
The convention at st. Louis, there
fore, assails this public system as
being mainly responsible for the
loose condition of the morals of the
people, as seen in the prevalent dis
honesty in positions of trust and
responsibility, which Is attributed
to the total absence of religion in
the public schools.
If enforced religious instruction
could prevent such prevalence OF
dishonesty as has characterized the
present era, we should say, by al
means, let us have more of it. But
the greed OF gain is universal. The
all-absorbing passion for riches pre-
walls among people of ali races and
all religions. 1t is the worship Of
mammon which lowers the tone Of
society wherever it prevails, which
undermines the morals of q people
and renders the man of Spartan
virtue q rarity, and heightened hon
or a synonym for simple innocence
As regards the colonization of the
Irish a. farmers, il they were scat
tered among other settlers they
would learn to become good far
mers but II colonized by themsel
yes, as this project contemplates
they would but repeat in the ives
the miserable slovenly mode Of
life that may be seen among thu
peasants of Ireland. The assump
ton that the Irish in America ar
degraded because of the line of tot
in which they earn living is no
warranted by the facts. They ar
generally industrious and thrifty
and an immense majority of then
do far better in America than the!
ever could have done in ireland
The colony system seems to b.
merely intended to keep them ant
T tbeir children within the inAuenc
, of the church, and to keep then
/ aloof from Protestant influences
1t has produced one colony in Miu
ncsota and may produce more else
where.
