CANTON, MIss.-In our issue of the 18th, we
copied, from the Natchcz Democrat, list giving
the population of the principal towns in Mis-
sissirPi. Injustice was done therein to the
thriving town of Canton, which WAS only cred
tied with population of 1868. That enterpris-
ing merchant, n. C. orrick, Esq, jealous for
the honor of his town writing to correct the
blunder, says:
by referring to the census which was taken
by order Of the Board of Aldermen, June 5th,
1917, ma the population to be 3O2O. This
ard was recognized by the State, for it was

If Christ himself in person were at the

such a thing, the Republicans and Radicals
everywhere would still raise the same cry
that he was an aiien-a foreigner. Christ,

Church, clearly disclaimed all pretense of
temporal control over the nations but as
clearly claimed all spiritual control and
sovereignty. Have the epublicans and

We have no space to refer to the Repub
lies doctrine of public schools, and will
merely reproduce for the benefit of some of
our friends the following eloquent tribute
to portion of our naturalized citizens:
The ureducated Irish and German vote ties
the hands and defeats the will of the cultured
and patriotic citizens to rectify wrongs and
reform abuses.
In Louisiana, for instance, it is the Irish
and German vote which has created the
twenty five millions of city debt and fifty
millions of State debt. Perhaps also it is
their vote which has sustained the infa-
NOUS Grant clique at Washington in its
unparalleled career of fraud, perjury and
theft.

The American Bismarck.

Gen. Grants personal organ, the Repub-
lie Of Washington City, bas come out in
full blast against Catholicity, after the COM
plete Bismarck precedent, with local addi-
tions of its own. Its pronupciamento was
duly ,eprod uced by the Republican of
this city without dissent, and will no
doubt go the rounds of the Republican
press as sound political doctrine. a party
that is driven to make war against creed,
as device for reviving its popularity,
admits that on all legitimate issues the YER
dict of the country is against it. In fact,
the whole career of that party has been one
of sensations, each succeeding the other as
bid for popular favor, in default of prin-
ciple@
First came the negro mania, resulting in
bitter war. After tie war, and when the
mission of the party, wicked and dishonest
as it was, bad been accomplished, the sec
ond era of its existence was ipaugurated in
vile conspiracy to foment and keep alive
those ungenerous and uncivilized passions of
copQuering section which magnauimity
and even true craftsmanship would have
consigned TO the deepest oblivion. Detected
in its fraudulent, lying game for power on
that line, it now opens on a ne= route and
bids for the long suppressed and partially
dormant fanaticism of religious blgotry as
a rich mine of bitter passion.
AS in the past, it relies now exclusively
on falsehoods and Misrepresentation as the
pabulum of it's baneful influence. Let us
give a few instances from the article in
question. 1t says
The adverse vote in the English Parliament
Cpon the Irish University bill, which broke
mp the Liberal ministry of Mr.. Gladstone, was
caused by a telegram from the Pope TO the
heads of the Catholic Church in Ireland. direct
ing instructions to be given to the Irish MEM
Sers to vote against the measure, which they
did, and the government was beaten.
This is false, both in fact and in deduc-
ton. The Pope neither did it nor had q
right to do it. He could cay whether the
principles adopted in the proposed Law
were or were not anti Christian, but to in
innate, as is here done, that he claims any
right to dictate or give Constructions" to
private or public men how they shall act in
questions of policy is an absurdity, and in
this case most wiiful attempt at decep-
ton.

But in this country, :

Hughes, in his address at the laying of the
corner stone OF st. Mary's Church. on the pre-
vious Sunday, nsed the following words:

millions of people standing ready to obey his
slightest command"
First; there is no such bishop as Bishop
Hughes. Second; the Pope governs the
world in spiritual matters, and in nothing
else, and nobody except those few eervants
and officials whom he is still able to employ
and pay, feels under obligation to obey any
commands of his in temporal matters. If
the RePub6c and Republicans cannot End
any line of separation between the spiritual
and the temporal domains, it is not our fault.
Such line certainly exists. Ali philOsO-

PERsoSAL-We had the pleasure of a call
last week from Mr. ]. Moran of the parish of
Lafourche. Mr.. Moran states that never,
during a residence of twenty-five years on
Bayou LafoHrche, has he seen the crops in
such a promising condition as they are this
year.
Mr. Hugh o'Rourke, of Tigerville, also drop
ped in on us last Thursday. He reports fine
crops in his neighborhood and every one
hopeful. During his few day sojourn in town,
after attending to the private business which
called him here, Mr.. O'Rourke engaged in the
lauoable work of obtaining subscriptions for
a church which the residents of Tieervile
intend erecting at an early day. The ground
for the church was generously donated by Mr..
VIM. Rochelle, of Tgerville, and the subscrip-
tion list was started ten days ago with the
following amounts: Cnas. Minty, $50; E.
Doherty, $50; H. o'Rourke, $780, Since then
the subscriptions have increased to about 5000,
all cash, and the panagers intend having work
commenced Immediately. The Jealous pastor of
Brashier City, Father Chaplin, will offciate at

Exhibiion by the Pupils Of St. Iheresa's Boys
School

After Q weeks deiiberatior we have been
unable to decide whether we were entitled to
the thanks or deserved the censure of our up
town readers for emitting to mention last Sun
dsy that the exhibition would take place that
day. At first the aagrant neglect of duty invol-
we'd in the omission, whereby many might have
been deprived of an evenings enjoyment, and
q sense of humiliation at having forgotten q
positive promise made to the excellent pastor,
Father Massardier, overwhelmed US with con-
fusion. Bat when We saw the immense au-
dience gathered in St. Theresa's Hall, filling
every inch of space, We almost felt like con-
graduating ouI selves for the neglect as doubt
less q newspaper notice would have brought
many hundreds of persons, who could not pos
sibly have found admittance to the Hall.
The programme presented to the audience
was arranged with excellent taste, the songs,
dialogues and recitations, while of q light
and entertaining character, being we'll cal
culated to show the natural abilities and
careful training of the boys.
That due credit may be given to each Of
those Who took q prominent part on the occa-
sion. We give the

for his devotion to the cause of education

We are happy TO state, and those who, by
our neglect last week were deprived of a great
pleasure, will be glad to learn that the exhibi-

LESS than year ago the Republican
party of Ohio declared in favor of tenn
perance, but failing to carry the election
that followed, the leaders jumped at the
conclusion that the temperance plank
was the cause Ct the failure, and at once
determined TO remove it. The plank
has been left out, and those Of the party
who do not understand the signs of the
times, are confident of success. Well,
the back ward step of the party may, and
nodeubt will, induce many liquor men.
to again give it their support, but the
election will show that where the party
has glined one liquor vote it has lost

voters will quietly pocket the insultthat

Louis Waldenberger, a German, was
tried and found guilty in Atlantic county
of the murder of his step-child. This
was in the year 1860, and upon his con
viction he was sentenced to be hanged
The Court Of Pardons unexpectedly com
muted his sentence to Imprisonment for
life. Waldenberger from the first strong
ly asserted his innocence, and he was be-
lieved by large number of Germans in
Atlantic county as well as in Philadel-
phia, who have kept the matter before
the Court of Pardons. Suspicion grew
against the mother, who was known to
be intimate with another man, and who
soon fled with him to parts unknown.
The guilt of this woman became so APP
parent that the Court of Pardons al its
last sitting granted a full pardon to Wal
denberger, who was released from prison
on Thursday, after having been there

PIONEER CELEBRATION.

The Pioneers had good time at the
"Old Fort" on Saturday last. They had
Orations, essays. addresses, poetry and
songs, Everything was musical, patri-
-Otic and pioneerish. The orations were
specially patriotic; the addresses were
appropriate and well adapted to the oc-
easiOn, and the speeches made, the pa
Ders read, the poem recited, and the
songs rung, (some Of them at least) were
highly laudatory of our pioneers. One
of the papers was somewhat stilted in
style, inflated or grandiloquent in Ian
guage, and rather long, but some thought
it was eloquent, and seemed to enjoy it.
Rev. Mr.. Sinsabaugh, Of st. Louisville,
opened the exercises with prayer, and
then sung the excellent song, entitled
Cd aThe Old Kitchen Floor" c. B. Gifin,
ESQ, then read the Declaration of Inde-
rpendence, followed by music under the
lead of the Messrs. A. I. and D. Cotfman,
Miss e. being Organist. Mr.. VIM. Wing,
Of Columbus, then read short historical
paper, which was well received. He was
followed by another song and the read
ing of paper by Isaac SmucKer, Esq,
the secretary of the society, when an ad-
jOurnment for refreshments was had.
M. James r. Stanberry opened the af-
ternoon exercises with speech which
was entertaining and amusing. After
lnusic, B. G. Woodward, ESQ.,, of Hanover,
said a good many Mandatory things OF
the pioneers of Licking, and the west,
and said them well, too. 1t was good
speech, decidedly good. Rev. DR.. Eben-
ezer Buckingham, of Canton, Ohio, fol-
lowed in very happy address. He was
born in Newark in 1914, but had not
spent many Of the last fifty years of his
life here. He found himself a stranger
among his kindred in the place of his
nativity. His tender illusions to early
times in Newark found their way to very
many hearts, and unsealed fountains Of
sympathy and tears all about him.
Rev. Mr.. Elliott, of Westerville, Frank
lin county, Ohio, made brief and appro-
pirate remarks, and was followed by the
reading of poem, adapted to the time,
the place and the occasion, by Mr.. A. b.
Clark, of the American. A. I. Coflman
then sang the song entitled 'Forty Years
Ago" which, with the doxology and
benediction, brought the exercises Of a
very pleasant occasion to close. .-Netr-
