Division of the School Fund
How 1t Is Done-A Warn

The Democratic papers say there is no danger of
division of the school funds in Ohio because the
Constitution forbids it; but the following, taken
from the Catholic Advocate, shows how easily
similar Constitutional provision has been evaded
in Illinois. If it can be done in that State, why
not in Ohio, if the Democracy have the power, and
choose to allow it, for fear of losing 'the solid, un
broken Catholic vote," which they have been
promised by the Catholic Telegraph, as a reward
for passing the Geghsn bill last winter?
Read what the Catholic Advocate says:
"Having heard in an unreliable way, that the
school trustees of East st. Louis had granted to
the Catholic parochia school their pro rata share of
the school fund, we were naturally gladdened, but
doubted the truth of the report Being of unprOv-
en- news, we wrote to Very Rev. P. j. O'Halloran,
V. F., inquirng into the truth or falacy of the
port, and asking for infOrmatiOn as to the means
that were adopted to procure so happy result.
The following letter was received in reply:
EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, Aug. 4, 1875.
Editor Catholic Advocate:
Yours of the 2sth ult. was received, but being
absent from home, could not answer you ere this.
The scrap of news hailing from East st. Louis is
true. The Board of Education permits us TO select
our own teachers, and they are approved of by the
board according to law. Catechism is taught out
side of school hours, in the school rooms. You
seem anxious to know how comes it that our
schools are supported by the public funds. Well,
IL Is tnlS wise. Inc MINORITY OF our pOpuldtlOn
are Catholics, and they elect Catholic directors.
This is the key that solves the grant.
You may make any comment you please, simply
give you the facts as required.
Yours very respectfully,
P.J. O'HALL0RAN, V. F."
The laws of Illinois expressly forbid division of
the school fund.- yet You see, the Catholic priests OF
Illinois having the majority of the School Board of
East st. Louis, ride over and through the law at
WILL
Does any Democrat dispute this statement, it
will be but little trouble for him to ascertain the
facts in the case, by writing to P. ]. o'Haloran,
East ST. Louis, Illinois.
The Democracy of East St. Louis elected those
School Directors, but then the Democratic politi-
clans are not in favor of dividing the public school
funds. Oh, no!
Since the above was written, the following para
graph from the Cincinnati Gazette has come under
our observation which shows that the Illinois
plan is already in successful operation in Ohio:
''The Catholics of DelphOs, Allen county, Ohio,
through the connivance of a Democratic Board of
Directors, are having their sectarian schools car
ried on at the expense of the public. Democratic
victory in October will result in making DelphOs
pattern for the whole State to copy from "

Cheering News.

The news from all parts of the
State is highly encouraging. Every
where the Republican meetings are
largely attended, and the promise of
full Republican vote made. Red
field, the Commercial correspondent,
who has travelled all over the State,
first with Allen and Cary, and now
with Morton and Hayes, says there
is no mistaking the drift of public
sentiment in the Ohio river counties,
and that where the Democrats ex-.
pect to make their largest gains are
precisely the places where the Repub-
hcans are most enthusiastic and
most confident of making gains
themselves. Lawrence, jackson and
Highland counties, claimed as Dem
ocratic by the Democratic State
Committee, Redfeld says are sure
for Hayes, and there can be no ques-
ton that if Republicans in Northern
Ohio come up to their work with
anything like the energy of the Re
publicans in Southern Ohio, the
State will elect Hayes by a rousing
majority next month.

The good old Democratic party
still survives. The reason is plain.
The Democratic party is founded on
the principles underlying our sys-
tenn of government-principles that
are God-given, inalienable and i'm
perishable.-C CHillsboro Gazette.
Well, that sounds very fine, indeed,
but let us see. Here is one of those
"God-given, imperishable," princi-
pies upon which the Democratic par
ty scas founded only three years ago,
as declared in its National platform,
adopted at Baltimore:
"Sth. 4 speedy return to specie
payments IS demanded alike by the
highest considerations of CONNER
cial morality and honest goce'7e-
ment."
Yet now we find this same ''good
old Democratic party" in Ohio utter
ly repudiating this ''Godgiven, ina
lienable and imperishable" principle,
and pronouncing against specie pay
ments and in favor of an unlimited
issue of irredeemable greenbacksl O
yes, certainly! Democratic principles
are .imperishable" they last about
three years-in Ohio. In New York,
Maine, Nebraska, and other ''hard
money States they wear better.

The Catholics and the School
Question.
What a Democratic Paper
Says.

The Akron Daily Argus, a stiff
Democratic organ, speaking of the
pending Roman Catholic issue in
Ohio, says:
There is class of political demagogues-ac con-
scienceless set of Office seekers-craven-hearte
spoilers of public morals-miserable disturbers of
the peace-operating with and through the Demo-
cratic party, who would just as surrender the
liberties of this republic 20 foreign foe as they
would betray, without a twinge of conscience, the
best interests of our nation"
After this introduction, the Argus
proceeds to say:
"Can it be possible that Democrats, who in times
past tstood forth the exponents of civil and relig
ious liberty, and who contended for free and
independent republic, win vote and cooperate
with hernrchy who lily conceal their purpose of
getting the control of this government and of unit
ing church and state? For the mere moinentary
honor of Democratic victory, and to triumph
defeated foe, they willing to jeopardize
the honor and stability OF our nation by allowing
the emissaries of the Propaganda OF Rome to have
NNNNNS W HSA-CS-S5
Institutions and there under the guise of religion,
incucate political doctrines utterly nimical to the
spirit of our government? If Democrats do not
meet these difficulties now, and keep themselves
clear of entangling alliance of priestcraft and
ststecraft, they or their children will some day
not far distant eat the bitter fruits of their foolish
trucking. They will find that the opposing party
in its present supposed moral and political deg
radiation is a thousand times to be preferred to the
presence of despotism which is about to be BAN
ished from Europe, and that too, by nations emerg-
ing from the very thraldom which we, in our fool
ishness, are inviting to our shores.
Can it be possible that the Democratic party dare
not oppose the demands of the Roman church, and
that in order to triumph the Republican party
and gain the spoils of Office, they are willing to sell
themselves to spiritual despotism? We say. let
the party go and save the nation; stand by the
principles of this blood-bought republic if you
must sacrifice every political leader; save the ship
of state if you must throw overheard every pirate
and mutinous man; protect the honor and integri-
ty of our nation you must spend the last cent of
money and yield up the last drop of blood"

Gov. Allen and the Farmers.

The Columbus Journal, referring
to some of Gov. Aliens recent
speeches, thus shows up some of his
characteristic demagoguery, in ad-
dressing the farmers:
Coming back to his neauseating
blarney over the farmers, (as though
farmers were the thickest headed
men in the community, and the only
ones that cannot see through the
sycophantie fattery OF a demagogue,)
Old Bill assured them that the farm
ers composed two-thirds of the voting
population, and that their votes do
not count for as much as those of
any other class in community. One
would suppose that one ballot would
weigh about as much as another in
the ballot box-suppose that with
two thirds of our voting population
composed of this class, which Old
Bill SAYS is wise and honest above
all other created beings, the country
would not go far wrong. But this
ignorant old demagogue always let's
the hinder part of his speech kick
over the fore part of it; and so we
find him telling farmers everywhere
that "the farmer is always honest"
''the farmer is always wise and intel
ligent, "the farmer casts two-t thirds
of the vote in this country" and yet
the country is going to the devil by
lightning express, because every
man elected by this wise and honest
two-thirds majority, to National
office, is thief and scoundrel.

Still another shining gem is added
to the coronet of the Incompatible
and only Sam Cary. It was in the
autumn of 1868 John Brough, was
candidate for Governor of Ohio, and
was stumping the State. Cary, in
the capacity of Lieutenant, aecompa-
MED Mr.. Brough and made the
speeches designed to fire the untu-
tored patriot heart. In their tour
they addressed O large meeting in
st. Clairsville. The crowd was so
great that it was impossible for all
to hear Mr.. Brougb, who was speak
ing, SO Sam Cary mounted a stump
little apart from the densest throng
and opened fire as follows:
'FeUoac CitizenS-The Governor
there, pointing to Brough) IS hand
ling men aoith has gloces on. I am
going to take mine of, and call men
and things By their right names,
and I am going to commence on
that Id old scoamdreI of a
Bill AHea, Of ChiHicothe."
And now Sam and "that id
old scoundrel from Chillicothe" are
yoked on the same ticket. 1t is
lovely. Will not the Gazette copy
the above choice extract and keep i1
standing few days in big type at
the head of its columns? Nothing
like making red hot campaign.

The defeat of the Democratic par
ty in Ohio is universally admitted,
opinions differing only as to the
manner of its taking off, and the
proper inscription to write on It's
tombstone.
DR.. Thurman, for instance. is of
the opinion that the party died be-
cause ''the id priests have over
done the thing by sticking their
noses into our politics" Dr.. Groes-
beck has diagnosed the case and
pronounced it a surfeit of rag baby,
while DR.. Cook thinks it is due to
"that unscrupulous demagogue Sam
Cary" who ''is a dead weight on
the party.
These being the causes of the
death of the party, its epitaph must
take something after the style Of
that inscribed by lamenting hus
band over the grave wherein the
bones of his four wives commingled
lay:
Stranger, pause, and drop tear,
! For Mary Ann lies buried here;.
Mixed in some mysterious manner
With Laura, Jane, and probably Hammer.

The Western Catholic, published
at Chicago, says:
mo sound Catholic would enter a
Protestant Church, or have his child
60 to any but an exclusively Catho-
lie school. Neither a Protestant
school nor one in which religion is
ignored, suits Catholic parent Or
child. The former would rather al
low the latter to grow up in igno-
rance of the alphabet than enter
such a place"
This is very plain talk, but it is
lust the kind which is common among
the Catholic Priests. And it is with
such intolerance and bigotry, that
the Democratic leaders have formed
an alliance for the sake of the votes
which it brings to their ticket

Gov. Allen has shown himself, dur
ing the present campaign, capable of
very small things. Prominent among
others are his disgraceful illusions
to the fact that Gov. Noyes is one
legged man, seeking in this way to
bring him into ridicule. This one
fact itself should be a sufficient rea-
son for every man who shouldered a
musket during the late war to refuse
Gov. Allen his vote. Gen. Noyes
left his leg on a battle field of Geor-
gia, fighting in defense of his coun-
try, while Gov. Allen was resting
quietly at home, lending what little
influence he possessed toward caus-
ing Gen. Noyes and those who
fought with him to lose not only
their limbs but their lives as we'll.
Gen. Noyes gave the old reprobate
good turn when introduced to an
audience at Cleveland recently as
''the man whom Gov. Allen speaks
of as the gentleman who goes around
Ohio stumping with wooden leg
The General replied: 'Fellow citi-
zens, if Governor Aliens friends
down in Georgia would give me back
the leg the Almighty gave me, 1 would
give them my wooden one" The
times have changed greatly when
Governor of Ohio can be found base
enough to go around the country
making sport of the wounds of our
manned soldiers [Chil. Gazette.

Circleville Union says:
One of the best among all the
good men of which the Republican
State Ticket is composed, is John Nj.
Millikin, of Butler county. Maj. NJ is
a pattern of manly dignity, intelli-
gence and integrity. He adorns the
leading profession of Ohio, that of
the Farmer, and will bring to the
performance of his official duties, a
healthy frame, a sound mind, a clear
head, and unusual capacity for bust

We can heartily endorse every
word of the above, having known
Mai. Millikin since 1S49-50, VIII n
