Notwithstanding the fact that
Messrs. d. M. Shaffer & Bro. pro-
pose to put large pile of green
backs in a new building, they still
are keeping store in Gfantham's

that firm, has just returned from the
East with large stock of dry goods
and groceries, bought for cash, and
are prepared to defy competition in
goods and prices. They invite an
inspection of their stock, and guar
antee satisfaction.

yesterday, we were sorry to learn
that they think the long and hard

bench, but are hoping for the best.

We understand the Board Of Edu-
cation are now taking steps to is
sue the bonds made necessary to meet
the Indebtedness caused by therecent
improvements. Under the law an
Indebtedness can only be bonded for
five years. Would it not be advisa-
BILE for the Board to defer action I'M
til the meeting of the Legislature,
and have an act passed authorizing
an extension of the time to ten or
even twenty years. We always have
been opposed to making our citizens
meet this demand in such a short
space of time. As the town grows
and population increases, the increas-
ed population necessarily enjoys all
improvements, and all advantages
and therefore shcetld assist in paying
for them.

The Catholic Question.

Editors IhielligcBdT:
You may have delicacy-ii editors
have such 4 thing-abOut publishing
anything on the Catholic question, espe.
cially anything in the nature Of contro-
yer,y; yet | can not iOrbear requesting
you to ask the Register for further ex-
PLANTATION Of it, article on "ReligiOus In.
tolerance In its issue Of September 9Th.
How are Catholics being prosecuted or
disturbed in their freedom Of conscience
or how is II being attempted by Radical
destructionist',' or anybody elSeY The
writer seems to have warm side for the
Romaniats, az he terms them, in their
persecution By marrow. and big
oied ianaticism"l and he il apparently
very much exercised on account Of the
danger hanging over the country from
this source.
It is very hard to keep from saying
stuff! courtesy fOrbids this, | reckon, yet
one can at least smile at the object Of such
ariicles-whiCh would be more hurtful
than the danger they profess to point out
we're they not 20 transparent that even
any we'll informed Catholic can zee IT,
The Register has probably been party
organ so lOng-whose only object Is to
gather votes for the party-that it finds
Il difficulty to arrive at the truth-or
rather embrace the truth for the truths
sake, and in discussion must still indulge
in political slang, and "swash buckleriSm"
but as the ties Of party grow weaker
there il a perceptible improvement in it,
tone-and we still have hope that it will
lose this habit Of pointing all its items
and fine epigrams with Radical corrupt
ion, fraud, lies, etc., etc.
There can be no harm in calm and
candid discussion Of the Catholic question,
but it il probably unfortunate that II
should be mixed in with politics. The
Ryitsr seems to be trying to drag II from
the other side Of the river, and in such a
manner that the only fruit likely TO he
borne il bitter feeling.
The gist OF the whole question is this,
as Bishop Whelan once remarked to the
writer in giving him some Catholic books,
aW. T, there can be no doubt about
ii. We are right. The Catholic Church
Is he true church" Reasoning from this,
all others are wrong, and being wrong,
should be put down. The Catholic claims
the presumption right, as it were, to the
true religion, and necessarily the right to
gOvernin church, school and state. Now
until you can convince him that somebody
else may Be right, all argument intended
for him il useless unless he belle his pro-
iession, or az true Americans believing in
our public school system and freedom Of
conscience can only 90 quietly on, and The
Catholics must atune their religion 10 the
times, or pass to our side. This they
have done In the past.
Neither Catholics nor any other de.
nomination should be in political power.
II so, 1t does not take 0 very profound
observer to predict that things would be
run TO suit the sect happening 10 be in
power, and il Is unfortunate that any sect
should attach itselito political party
which seems to be the case out in Ohio
and such a state Of things should be dep.
recated by every TRuE CATHoLIc.
