ANNEXATION.

There Is project on foot 10 annex a part Of
Mexico to the United States SeniiRsI.
Yes, and there is project on foot at
Bowling Green TO annex a part of Wood
county to Lucas il thereby removal OF
the county scat can be prevented. We
called attention to this fact three or four
weeks since, but the Sentinel has not deigned
20 notice it 1t can discuss the contem-
plated dismemberment Of far of Mexico,
but upon the contemplated Acknowledgement
OF our county which would affect, Immedi-
ately, every taxpayer In it, it is entirely
mum. Why this silence upon a subjcct
which SO directly interests every one OF its
home readers? Evidently because il fears
that should the proieo become generally
known throughout the southern portion Of
the county, it would arouse such storm Of
dissatisfaction and indignation that Bow
iing Green could not stand up under it
that the town would be condemned by oil
the surrounding country, for entering into
a scheme 30 destructive TO the best interests
OF the county at large. Secrecy, therefore,
was desirable.
And have the people of the county re-
dected upon the effect that the severance of
Lake and Ross townships from the county,
would have upon taxation in the remain
lag seventeen townshipsS Estimating
upon the number Of townships in the
county, 1t would at once add 10Y per cent.
to the amount of taxes to be paid by the
II townships, and this per centage would,
probably, be increased every succeeding
year by the extraordinary growth in wealth
OF these two townships. And this in
creased taxation would not be for year or
two like that for a bridge or county infrm-
Gry, but would continue for all time to
come. And are the people of the county
prepared and willing to assume this heavier
burthen, and for all time to come, simply
to promote the interests OF Bowling Green ?
We cannot think they are.
One other thought in this connection.
Should the county seat remain where 1t
now is, Ross and Lake, and possibly Troy
and Perrysburg, might seek to be annexed
10 Lucas county, for the reason that it
would be more convenient for them to do
their public business at Toledo than at
Bowling Green. By determined and per
Severing efforts such a severance might be
effected, and the result would be, TO add
2o per cent 10 the amount of taxes TO be
paid by the remaining Is townships. But
with the seat of Justice established at Per-
rysburg, all can see and realize that the ter
ritorial integrity Of the county, is assured
for all time to come, and all distracting
and dividing questions put to rest. We
should then have peace, permanent peace
aud with the inevitable rapid increase Of
wealth in the northern portion of the
county, taxation would be materially les.
scned.
Let not the people deceive themselves
with the thought that the dismemberment
project Of Bowling Green is altogether i'm
aginative. Since our former article upon
this subject we have learned of another
gentleman Of B. G. who has visited Lake
twp. upon the same enterprise, showing
that the schemeis seriously ENTERTAINED sn5 I

Once upon time William left his domi-

structions to a hired man to straighten the
line of certain fence about the grounds
near the house. When he returned he
found the faithful employe had indeed
straitened the fence, and to do it had cut
down one of the largest and most beautiful

SrctarIan Schools.

The New York Times, in one of its late
issues, calls attention in a calm and we'll
considered article to the demand Of the
Catholic clergy of that city for a share of
the general school fund to support the par
oGhial schools they have been instrumental
in building up.
For years past the Clergy referred to,
have been working quietly to obtain houses
for educating the Catholic youth of that
city, and now that they have secured school
Accommodations sufficient foHetheir present
wants, they turn to the Board OF School
Controllers and say: Gentlemen, we
have provided school accommodations for
6OOOO children, and the teaching necessary
Tor their instruction, we are prepared to
teach them all they can learn in the public
schools, and II we teach them Catholicism
besides, that is matter that does not con-
cern y'u. We shall give them as com
plete al education rs you can; and all we
ask OF you is that you pay US what it
would cost you, under your system, TO ed
ucate that number of children"
Very plausibly put, but very deceptive,
Tor all that. 1t is plea not simply for the
education Of $4,000 Catholic children, but
for their education in sectarian schools.
It Is an attempt to build up and maintain
religious schools at public expense; and if
the plea is responded to favorably. must
end in the destruction Of the public schools
altogether. Every church OF every other
denomination would soon have parochial
schooi house attached, and education in
stead of being free, would be exclusively
sectarian and underpartisan religious con-
troll.
The Public School Board Of New York
has as yet given no answer to this appeal
but IL can, in all frmness, give but one
answer TO it, and that il =" The Public
Schools, as maintained by ua, are free TO
all, and teach what is recognized by all as
desired. II you want your children edu-

Barking at the Hole.

Henry WARD BEEcHER relates he had
a dog that chased a red squirrel into n hole
in stone wall. At that place the dog
last saw the squirrel, and every day he
would go and bark at the hole by the hour.
SO with our Bowling Green cotemporary;
but its "hole in the wall" is the bribery of
the Ohio Legislature with S15 given to a
Soy. 1t barks as persistently as BEECH
ERs dog, and we submit it to casuists to
determine which has exhibited the better
sense and iudgment-the dog or the Sentinel.
