The Dispatch of Monday publishes we'll
written, yet fallacious article from the Nation
on the subject Of economy. 1t maintains that
rigid economy must work harm, inasmuch as
it prevents the consumption of the products OF
legitimate labor. The article does not strike at
the disease that is sapping the vitality of trade.
1t is too much credit that is doing the HARM
Ii purchases were confined to the ability of the
purchaser, to pay-if people would not spend
money before they earn it-and trade was linn
tied by an honest purpose to take nothing
without returning an equivalent, prosperity
would follow as certain as effect follows cause
The credit that is always associated with an
Inflated currency, is pure swindling. The
mechanic, the laborer, the farmer, the mer-
chant, sells his goods to customer who IS do
ing business on fictitious capital-who has no
substantial foundation, no real basis upon
which to operate-only the wild speculative
spirit that is created and fed by circulating
medium that is falsehood of itself When his
business levels down to honest values, why
somebody has to be robbed. He fails to meet
his obligations, and the property of his creditor
is lost. Wise economy prevents this. Honest
meaning men, who constantly keep in view
the rights Of others, will not buy unless thew
know how they are going to pay. Hoping
for something to turn up" is not capital, and
yet two-thirds of the business of the country
since 1865, has been conducted upon Wilkins
Micawber's financial principle. We have had
enough of this kind Of bubble, and it is well for
honest industry that it has collapsed.

WHEN speaking of the school ques-
ton we are sometimes told that Ger.
tain State constitutions prohibit a
division Of the school fund and that
that is the end of it. Senator Herman,
of New York, took this position some
time ago in a speech made in New
York, to which Harper's Weekly re-
plies:
But the Senator says that the school sys..
TEN is planted in the Constitution beyond
the power of any Legislature. What planted
it there? Public opinion. And what can
pluck it out? Public opinion. And it is to
public opinion that the enemies Of the
schools address themselves, and it is in that
appeal that they must be met. That is to
say, there must be discussion, and if discus
sion "stirs up religious strife, it is those
who have made discussion necessary that
are responsible. In New Jersey, we are
| told, the anti-school vote was only two
thousand. That is true and every good
American citizen will rejoice. But which
is the more important fact, the small vote
or the open appeal of the priest to their
congregations to vote against the school
system? And if because Of the small vote
the subject should be derisively dismissed
as a mare's-nest, how long before the steady
and shrewd labor of the priests would make
the vote larger? If any man thinks that
there will never be any serious ecclesiasti-
cal assault upon the schools, he will sim
cerely deprecate any discussion of the sub
ject. But if there probably will be such an
attack, the patriotic and wise course is not
to assume that it is not yet serious enough
| to talk about.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

Returns have not come in 30 rs to
give the exact majorities in the
election of last Tuesday, but the fig
ures are so nearly complete as to
show the extent of the great Republi-
can victory.
The Democrats carried New York
last year by $1,000 votes. They also
had majority in the State I.egisla-
ture. The Democratic majority on
the State ticket on Tuesday will not
exceed 10000. The Republicans have
carried the Legislature, having two
thirds majority in the Senate, and a
good working majority in the House.
Pennsylvania went Democratic last
year by 1879 votes, and elected a
Democratic Legislature. Now the
State gives a Republican majority OF
$4,000, and elects Republican Legis
lature.
Wisconsin elected q Democratic
Governor last year by over 14iO0C
majority. Now the Republicans elect
a Republican Governor and have 6
fair majority in the Legislature.
Last year the Democrats elected 6
Governor in Massachusetts by 1885,
majority. On Tuesday the Republi
can candidate was elected by about
5000 majority. The Legislature il
overwhelmingly Republican.
The Democratic majority in Mary
land last year was 1898. This yea
the Democratic candidate is elected
by about $4,000 majority, which
is one thousand less than h,
received in Baltimore. His majorit,
in Baltimore was clearly due to frauC
and intimidation by Democratic
" Roughs."
The Republicans carried Kansa
and Minnesota by increased ma
Ijorities.
New Jersey elected a Republican
Legislature, having large majorit
in each House.
Mississippi gave a large Demo
cratic majority, electing a Democrat
Legislature, and nearly the entir
delegation in Congress, Just as W
expected would be done.
The Republicans are fully Statistic
with the days work, having accom-
plished more than they expected.

PLAIN TALK FROM A CATHO-
Lie PRIEST.

Father Henning, Of st. LOUIS, re-
Gently delivered lecture in that city
in which he used the following Ian
guage:
The Church, as we are all bound to be-
lieve as Catholics, is nfallible. She is in
fallible in faith; she is infallible In some
thing more; she is inhdlibe in everything
in morals as we'll as faith, and it follows
that the State can never be absolutely sep.
arate from the Church; that the declaration
of independence Of the State from Il
Church is simply political atheism. G
has appointed the Church as His intern
ter in morals, and as no State can ~
without morality, no State can ISL
separate from the Church. 1t followhHt
Catholic must be Catholic in his 'iai,
in his political life, as well as in hiFligl-
Gus life.
Now, if Father Henning es not
correctly represent the Chur' on tne
question discussed, we trust at some
of the leading dignitaries 81 correct
him. We are told someues that
none but demagogues an designing
politicians ever charge iat the no
man Catholic Church rms country
expects to in some wayn the luture'
become allied with thetate. Father
Henning is leadinNathollc. lie
says mo State can eSC separate from
the Church" Bv re Church. he
means the Catholic lurch. Accord
inc to his teachin,the Government
Of this country c. not DC apSo-
lutely separate" rom the Roman
Catholic Church, nd any other posi-
ton than his simply political
atheism"
If that be thdoctrine and policy
of the RomalCatholic Church, is
there no reas for suspecting that
it intends exterminate our
present fe school system?
Father Hepng and for aught we
know all Coolies, certainly a large
majority ohem, believe that our free
schools arhot conducted with due
regard to lie morals of the young.
They belize that religion as taught
and praiced by Protestants, is
. heresy. fhey are not willing that
= schools lould be conducted entirely
free frn sectarian influences, nor
| will tIy permit religious teaching
: from rotestants. Nothing short Of
Cathic teaching will satisfy them.
He9e their opposition to free schools
is eeply grounded, and if devout
S Cholics, when they obtain the
= river to do so, they must overthrow
G e system.

WE are panied to see snch saucy
paragraphs as this in a Democratic
paper. 1t is from the Chattanooga
Times:
We trust that the life of the editor Of the
American is heavily insured for the benefit
Of the State. Just think what a terrible
condition the State would be in if he should
be taken away.
We presume it is such "indiscreet
utterances" as the above that leads
the American TO say:
We have good authority for stating that
the indiscreet uttersnces Of the Chattanoo.
ga Times are not approved even by Senator
Key. His home organ is doing him infinite
harm.
1t will be noticed that nothwith
standing the Senator does not approve

rious demand for his resignation.

Governor Tilden by a majority of
50,S17 votes, so that the Republicans
have made gain of more than 49,
600 votes. This is very significant,
and shows the drift of public senti-
mcnt. In the result of Tuesdays
elections the Republicans have every.
thing to encourage them to honest,
energetic action. The most sanguine
'riend of honest government in New
York did not hope for such a result
~ we have seen. Nothing is clearer
- the mind of an impartial observer
than that the American people do not
intend to trust the Democratic party.
Like the murderer Cain, it is unmis.
takably branded by the infamy of its
,wn record, and when it is trusted il
will be an evidence of the degeneracy
If the times. As we have said be-
tore, Iammany Is the most corrupt
political organization on earth, and
Tammany in New York, means the
Democratic party. 1t is to the party
what Jesuitism is to the Catholic
Church. 1t was the child of the
Democratic party, but the party is old
decrepit, weak and blind, and the
child is now stronger and more vigor
GUS than the parent, and controls the
parent.
The pharisaical professions of Gov
Tilden in behalf of reform, can never
divest his party of the odors which
arise from constitutional corruption
and in endeavoring to resurrect it,
rotten carcass from a well.meriteC
grave, he himself has fallen into thu
pit, and his prospects for politica
glory in the future are exceedingly
gloomy. All honor to the Republi
cans Of New York, and all those wit
aided them in bringing about thi
glorious result.

THE Baltimore American, speaking
of the recent election in that city
says:
1.-THE second day of November, 1875,
will long be remembered as a dark and
bloody day in the history Of Baltimore.
Justice vacated her seat, the law was
thrown aside, and for twelve hours ruffisn-
ism ruled the city, the legally constituted
authorities making no resistance. In many
Of the wards police officers encouraged and
assisted the thieves, bummers and murder
ers whom the Ring had commissioned to do
its work"
1t is absolutely certain that the
election was carried by fraud and in
timidation. The " Roughs' for which
that city is proverbial, were out in
full force and thousands Of peaceable
law abiding men were kept away from
the polls. The Democratic majority
in the State is wholly due to the vote
of Baltimore. Outside of the city
where fair election was had, the Re
publicans not only held their owl
but made large gains.

The Democratic 1apers charge that
the New Jersey republicans conduct

Legislature, witch canvass was
brought to a cbse with yesterdays
election, upon Know Nothing princi-
pies. Recentl' an election was held
in that State br the adoption of GER
tain constitutional amendments, one
of which amendments was bar to
any division of the common school
fund of the State for sectarian pur-
poses. Or the last Sabbath prior to
the election, Catholic priests in New
ark, and perhaps in other cities of the
State, advised their congregations
from tie pulpit to vote against that
article of the amendments. The re
suit vas, the whole Protestant popu
lation was aroused, and the amend
ment was carried by tremend
GUS majority. 1t is not strange
after that, that the question should
enter somewhat into the canvass TO
members Of the Legislature. Thu
question has been agitated, and thi
is what Democratic newspapers meal
by charging that the canvass ha
been conducted by the Republican
on Know Nothing principles. 1t wa

TURNING LOOSE THEIR DOGS
OF WAR"

The great Democratic organ at
Nashville having fired its heavy ar
tillery at Senator Key, and he having
manifested characterization by not
stepping down and OUT when COM
manded to do so, the guns Of smaller
caliber (pop-guns as it were) are COM
ing up to the assault like little men
and loyal subjects. The Brownsville
Democrat says:
"The American declares Senator Key
unsound, and invites him to resign. He is
not the Key Of the situation, and the Key
note he has given on the currency question
is exceedingly distasteful to the "Great
Combination" We have never thought
Key otherwise than unsound on every
question, since we heard his speech in the
Convention at Nashville. His appoint
ment seems to have pleased the Chattanooga
Commercial, the Knoxville Chronicle and
East Tennessee Radicals generally, but We
have got to see the first Democrat who was
pleased with his elevation to the Senator.

PERsHING, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor Of Pennsylvania,
shows that he appreciates a good
thing and knows how to keep it when
he has it. He is a Judge of one of
the Courts, and instead of resigning
his judicial Office when he was nomi-
mated for Governor, he greedily held
on to it. So defea. doesn't send him
to private life after all. We do not
hesitate to say, that when a man hold
ing a judicial position becomes a can
didate for a political Office, and re
fuses to resign the former, that alone
ought to secure his defeat. If for nc
other reason, Pershing deserved de
eat for this alone.

THE clergy Of New York took oc.
casion last Sunday to express their
views of the wonderful religious SER
vices being conducted in Brooklyn by
the evangelists Moody and Sankey.
Most of them spoke favorably of
these services. The New York Even
ing Post, noticing their services,says:
Zone fact, which is instantly obvious to
every observer, gives the two evangelists
great influence over their hearers-they do
not perform their work in q perfunctory
manner. They seem to speak as men who
can not help speaking. The reproof given
to the clergy of his day by Garrick, that
they recited truth as though it were fiction,
while the players recited fiction as though
it were truth, could not be administered to
Messrs. Moody and Sankey. The realistic
spirit is as strong in Mr.. Moody as in a
pre- Raphaelite painter. Every statement
made i'll the Old and New Testaments is to
his mind full of meaning for the present
age of the world. His strong conviction is
itself convincing. And as men will always
follow one whose mind is made up, whose
faith has in it no element of misgiving, he
has rapidly attained the position of lead
err. The truths which Mr.. Moody promul-
gates are assented to by the community
generally, but his intense conviction gives
them a fresh vitality both for his own mind
and for the minds of the multitudes whom
