There were many other wild animals, besides
camels, &C., introduced In this play, and they
all soon learned to obey me. And am now think
ing about plays of two Kinds-one representing
an actual deer-hunting scene and the hounds in
full chase. Already have the deer in training,
and the dogs can easily be taught their business.
Scenes can be SO arranged by endless rollers as
to keep up the excitement for full two or three
minutes at time. Another play want is one
representing q martyr, for instance, thrown to
the wild beasts. I'll have q trained Numidian
lion on the stage to fight with, and other scenes
will enable me to perform feats in shooting.

hauled up on the marine railway In the eastern

she was lying in the stream. The Piscatauqua
was built during the war for the torpedo service

We remember reading a report of
a similar nature that was made in a
Lutheran Synod in this State a few
years ago. And a-learned Presbyte-
rian Doctor of Divinity, in an address
at Wooster University, pronounced
the prevailing common school system
as of irreligious and immoral tenden-
cies.
But, says somebody, it is the Ro-
man Catholic utterances, such as
those of Bishop McQuaid, of Roches-
ter, at Cincinnati, the other day, that
are dangerous. This, in our judg-
ment land we are orthodox Protest
ant), is the expression of anti Cath
Ollie fear and prejudice. The true

ton is to enter into no "entangling
alliances" with any religious body

DIVISION OF THE SCHOOL FUND


The Republican party is plainly
bent on making a hullaballoo about
an alleged proposed division of the
school fund for sectarian purposes in
this State.
As the present Constitution of
Ohio and the school law in pursu-
ance thereof we're made by the De-
mocracy of this State, the charge
that the Democracy mean to over
throw their own work in this matter
is very absurd. But it may be well
to refer to some things in this on
nection.
Doubtless there are few religious
organizations among us that would
not desire religious instruction in ac-
cordance with their own doctrines to
be impaired and disseminated to the
children attending the common
schools-at least to the children O
parents holding fast to their own
faith. We have see and read argu,
ments to this effect by Lutheran,
Presbyterian and Episcopal clergy.
men, as well as by Catholic Bishops
and priests.

Diocese of the Episcopal Church, in

AN EARTHQUAKE,

The daily papers of Saturday NOR
ming last, gave us accounts from
many points in southwestern and
central Ohio and southern Indiana,
of shocks of an earthquake, in some
places so severe that chimneys and
houses were shattered. In st. Ma
rvs, Greenville, Piqua, Lima, Urba-
ma, Ohio; and Richmond, Union city,
and Liberty, Ind, the shock was
very severe. 1t is claimed by some
that it "shook" Eaton. We think
1t did.

: distinguished success of his adj
ministration," and capable and ju-
dicious statesman" is the fulsome
praise of the Republican Radical
Convention of Ohio, upon a man who
has for four years deliberately stolen
$4,000 ayear from the oppressed
and tax-ridden people of the coun-
try, and who has rewarded more
thieves and scoundrels with public
positions, than all the Presidents
that have governed us since Wash
ington down to the great national
robber himself! And this is the
party that is asking a longer lease
of power and more opportunity fol
plumber? Tax payers, will the how
of the "bread and butter brigade
induce you.to vote for no change?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-06-24

The Dayton city editor of the
Register has the devouring and raw
enous beast of "Catholic influence"
by the tail, and if that should break,
we will be literally chewed, m~astica-
ted, smashed, crushed, crashed and
torn to tatters by the Pope! We
invoke the prayers of the "trooly
good" that he may have strength to
hold to this stale" until after the
October election. We have a kind
of hankering not to be mown down,
swallowed up, annihilated and ex-
tinguished until after that important
event! Will the brethren pray fol-
this 'tail-holt" to hold on!

WHAT THE OHIO LEGISLATURE
ACCOMPLISHED.

1t reduced taxation for State pur-
poses six hundred thousand dollars.
1t cut down appropriations for the
two years of nearly one million dol
lars.
1t reduced the salaries of county
officers of the State about three hun
dred thousand dollars per annum.
1t fixed a lower tariff of prices to
be charged by railroads for passen-
gers and freight.
1t reduced the tolls upon turn
pixies.
1t passed numerous laws relieving
the courts, in order that speedy JUS
tice might be secured to litigants,
among which was the repeal of the
second trial act, requiring judges to
divide and equalize their labor, and
giving Justices of the Peace final
Jurisdiction in cases of one hundred
dollars.
1t authorized The appointment of
a commission to revise the statutes
of Ohio, which were in confusion and
frequently contradicted.
1t has submitted a proposition to
amend the Constitution so as to au
thorize q commission to relieve the
Supreme Court, which is now six
years behind with its business.
These are a few ofthe more i'm
portant adopted by the
Legislature. They are all in the di-
rection ofeconomy, for the correction
of abuses and for. the relief of the
people.
The more the actual work of the
last session is examined. and under
stood, the more it will be commended
to the approval of the taxpayers OF
the State.-P Portsmouth Times.

parties, but now abandoned by
the Republican, which is u in the
exclusive interest of the Bondhold-
ers, for it is Obvious as contraction
proceeds and legal tenders are re-
tired, the bonds are enhanced in
value and the enterprise of the peo-
pie crippled, and price of labor cor
respondingly diminished. This is
what the bondholders want and con
sequently every n of them are for
it, and are now pressing the measure
upon the people through the Repub-
lican organization. In the language
of the ninth plank of the Platform,
the Democracy condemns the policy
of the Republican party Inaugural
ted, of abolishing legal tenders and
giving the National Banks the pow
er to furnish all the currency, and
thereby further increase the grasp
of already dangerous monopolies and
the enormous burden now Cypress
ing the people, without any compen-
sating advantage, ana demands that
all national currency be promptly
retired, and legal tenders issued in
their place. This policy means bu-
siness in the interest of the people,
but will be opposed to the bitter end
by the bondholders and all their en-
issaries throughout the land.
The thirteenth plank is so plain
and pointed on the question of divi-
ding the School Fund and the COM
plete separation of Church and State,
that it cannot fail to satisfy every
man of ordinary intelligence, that
the howl of the Radicals about the
democrats giving any sect, directly
or indirectly, special privileges OF
any of the School Fund, is the thin
est nonsense in the world, and is only
done for the purpose of misleading
the honest masses and forcing upon
US a religious warfare for the benefit
of the thieves in power. The resolu,
ton is a complete vindication of the
Democratic party on this question,
and knocks the bottom out of this
School Fund c~lap-trap.
In the 18th plank the Democratic
party in its manhood was plain and
out-spoken upon the so-called tenn
perance crusade, while the Republi
cans were timid and cowardly ignor
ed the matter, for the purpose o.
claiming in one locality of the State
temperance views and in another de
nying them. This independent dec
laratiOn on the part OF the democra
cy, ought to be sufficient guarantees
to all liberal minded persons, tina
it is unalterably opposed to any cru
sad upon the social habits of tn
people not within themselves crimi
nal.
Taken all together the platform i
one of the most splendid and out
spoken in the true interests of tn
people, ever promulgated in Ohio o
any other State in the Union, and W
ask for it a careful reading of all tn
laboring classes of Preble county
and a candid comparison with tn
one adopted by the Radicals.

Old "jim jams" of the Register,
asks our attention to an article from
the Catholic Telegraph, on the school
question. The opinions of the Cath
olic Telegraph, of Cincinnati, are no
more the sentiments of the Demo
cratic party, than the denial of the
Grant organs that Grant is not work
ing for a third term, are the senti-
ments of the great salary grabber
and public roober.

Amid the vast amount of misre

Amid the vast amount of misrep-
resentation of the nature and pur-
poses of the GEGHAN bill, both in
side the State and outside of it, it is
refreshing to find the following in
the Chicago Tribune:
"Relative to the GEGHAN bill, pass
ed by the late Legislature of Ohio,
and providing equal privileges for all
religious sects in public reformatory.
penal, and eleemosynary institutions
there is no question as to its intrin.
sic propriety and justice. The Tri.
bune has naver reflected on the char.
acter of this law; on the contrary il
has approved its purpose, and be.
lieves that such a law should be a
dopted in all the States where bigot
ed officials exclude the inmates o.
any public institution from the con
solutions oftheir own Church; where
there is no official attempt of thi:
kind the law is unnecessary. The
law embodies a principle of common
Justice, which needs only to be form
ulated where the principle has beer
ignored"
This is the exact truth about tina
bill, and it is concerning this mea
sure that Grants organ-grinders ar
raising such a howl, and endeavor
ing to drag religion into politics, il

corruptions and rascalities of tn
