THE PUBLIC SCHOOL QUESTION.


/ FROM the IOiedO tallOilC kGVl6W.
The Catholic vote should be east solid
ly for the Democracy at the coming cleo
ton. 1t is the only possible hope to
break down the school system.
From the n. Y. Freedmpn's Journal, Nov. -.
Education is not the work of the State
at all. 1t belongs TO families, and should
be left to families, and to voluntary as
sOciations. The school tax in itself is an
unjust imposition.
From the y. Y. Freedman's Journal, Nov. %.
First-We will not subject our CathO-
lie children to your teachersl You ought
to know why, in a multitude of cases.
Second-We will not expose our Cath
Ollie children to association within the
public schools Do you not know why 4,
From the Catholic Telegraph.
1t will be glorious day for Catholics
in this country when under the laws of
justice and morality, oar school system
shall be shivered to pieces. Until then
modern paganisn will triumph.
From the N. y. Tablet. dee. I.
We are not opposed to public schools
supported by the State, if the SCate pro-
vi,irS schools for us ia which we can
teach our own religion; but we are OPP
posed to iuiidel, goddess, or purely secu-
lar schools.
From the n. Y. Free,imans Journal, dec. II.
The Catholic solution of this muddle
''han,is OFF, No State taxation or any
donation for any schools. YOu look to
your children, and we will look to ours
We don't want you to b. taxed for Cath
Ollie schools We do not want to be
taxed for Protestant, o. gOllr. : schools
Let the public school system 90 where it
came from-the devil. We want Chris
tian schools, and the Stat" cannot tell
us what Christianity il.
From the N. 4. Tablet, Dcc. -
We demand of the State, as our right,
either such schools us our church will
accept, or exemption from the school
tax If it will support schools by a gen
er:,I tax, we demand that it pr,.vid" "r
give Us our portion of the public funds,
and leave us TO provide schools in cur
own religion, under thr supervision of
our own church.
We hold education tn bee II function of
the Church, not of the State; and III
our case we do not and will not accept
the State as an educator.
We have a prior claim upon the Dem
ocratic party Tie elements cornpo,iu.
the Democratic party in Ohio tO day
are made up of Irish and German Cath
olics, and they have always been loyal
and faithful To the interests of the party.
Hence the party Is under obligations to
us and vc have "A perfect right to de
mand Of them, as a party, inasmuch, as
they are in control of the State LegiSla-
tuIe and State Government, and We by
both our means anl votes placed them
where they are to-day, that they should
"a a party redress our gri"yanee.-Ge-
gItGn's Letter 30 MuPhy, pendjHg the
Geghan JW in he Sote Leyisiatare.
The political party with which nine
tentlIs of the Catholic voters affiliate on
account of past services that they will
never forget, now controls the State.
Withdraw the support which Catholics
have given to it AMI it will fall in this
city, county aud State aS speedily as ii
has risen to its long lost position and
power That party is now upon trial.
Mr. Geghn's bill will test the sincerity
of its professions. s.-C:lthoiic 7eisgraph,
