nit to the terms of the reconstruction
measures? 1t may be proposed to put
the blacks down into new state of sla-
very, and put their old white masters
back-to say that equality before the
law is intended only for the white race;
but is this the meaning of Democratic
victories? Ifit is they will soon be re-
versed. If it is not, what can Demo-
cratic party do that a Republican party
has not done, or may not do? These
are questions that will be solved if the
Democratic party should get into pow
er, and become a positive instead of
negative power-the ins instead Of
the outs.
Meantime. it would be well for the
people to consider whether it is safe to
intrust the Government to the hands
ofa party which, when it had it, plum
ged it into war for the defense. of the
the nations life. Now that the cleo
tions are soon to be over, and that we
are to have gradual but marked i'm

rency, there will be a good deal of
thinking done in this direction, and
this will operale against the threatened

The increase of Catholicism in En-
gland is very seriously considered
there. 1t is stated that in 1765 England
and Scotland contained only $4,000
Catholics, in 1921, 500, 900; in 1912, 2, $780,
600; in 1915, 3,3SO,OOO. Since 1915 it is
claimed that there has been an increase
of which the number is not given.
They speak of 600 conversions per an
mum. In 1873 there were 1893 priests,
1853 churches aud chapels, S6 converts
of men, 268 converts of women, q
Catholic gymnasiums, 1249 schools.
Also 20 dioceses, 33 Catholic Lords, u
baronets, 6 members of the Privy COun-
ell, and 81 members of the House ol
Commons. 1t is declared that the num-
ber of Catholics in England, Wales and
Scotland, as given here, is incorrect.
The Statesman's Yearbook for 1874,
usually regarded as regarded as relia-
BILE authority, says: The number OF
Catholics in England is estimated al
100000, and adds, as regards Scot.
land, the Roman Catholics have in.
creased largely of late years, chiefly
from the influx of Irish population.
The census of 1871 gave no enumera.
tion of the persons belonging to the
Episcopal Church and those adhering
to other religious creeds. This is said
to have been an Intentional omission,
to conceal the increase of the Roman
Catholics in Great Britain. In Ireland,
in 1771, the return was 4, 141 1888 Roman
Catholics, against /, ,265, ,503 individuals
