The way to silence all proper obiec-
tons to our schools is to have no relig-
ious teaching in them. The great mass
of Protestants think home teaching and
the Sunday school and church services
the proper religious discipline for chill
dren. The Romanists commit everything
into the hands of the priests, and giving
them supervision over their schools il
follows that their religion is an enforced
part of the every day education of chill
dren. Why this is so is easily accounted
for in the light of the ignorance of Ro-
man Catholic children and the discipline
of the Catholic church.
When, therefore, Judge decides that
the Board of Education have control oi
the Bible-reading feature of the schools
it is no concession to the Remanists, fol
it is not granting them what they ask
They wish division ofthe school fund
and Judge Taft and our Supreme Court
say they cannot have it under our Con :
stitution. That not granted, the Roman
lists demand just what they now COM
plain of, to-wit: that the schools be made
sectarian, so that their creed may be
made part of the school exercises. Tha
cannot be granted. as Judge Taft declare.

The Secretary of the Treasury, with a
view to retrenchment in his de partment,
has very properly set on foot an inVesti-
cation as to the propriety of abolishing
some of the many interior ports Of deliv-
cry which are source of donsider able
expense to the Government without COM
pensating revenue. This econo mical
scheme was well inaugurated last year in
the consolidation of many of the SIN Her
customs districts on the Atlantic coas t
and has been found to work much saVin G
to the Government, and at the same time
to furnish all needed facilities to COM
merce. This investigation, we trust, will
develop the demand which exists Of
making the harbor at this place, port of
entry, and the propriety of dividing the
district of Cuyahoga, and making tn is
port and all East of it to the district of
Erie, new district. The necessity
vessels with foreign merchandise, bein g
delayed at this port until matters can be
attended to at Cleveland, and di rections
given for the collections of duties, before
permits can be given for discharging, is q
hindrance and impediment, that seem to
call for reform.

outrage for the benefit of the Express
companies, and marks its article for our
notice. From the soundness of the edi.
tors views, we come to the conclusi on
that his head is level. We therefore re.
produce his article, as follows
Hon. J. A. Garfield writes to the Ash

in the rate of postage, refuting the charge
that the express companies were ms tru-
mental in bringing about the increase,
and gives a history of the postal working
We care nothing about its history so ia r
as this case is concerned. It is no reaso n
why such an outrage should be inflicted
on the public But even Mr.. Garfield
himself does not approve of this whole
sale imposition, but calls it the ''result o
an oversight" and says it is mainly due
to the bad practice of allowing import ant
legislation to be crowded into the last
hours of the session. True again but
why do these public servants "alloW" it
Why not give this really important bust

"bad practice" is costing heavily. and

have the next Congress do the important
business first, and their playing ..after-
wards.

Papal Aims.


The New York Times calls attention to
Che fact that the Ohio Geghsn bill has
been introduced in the New York Gener-
8 Assembly, and is likely to pass. The
unity in the aims and methods Of the
Catholic priesthood, is further shown By
reference to another bill, introduced by the
same person in the New York Legisla-
ture. which contains the Times says, "a
very skillfully CO ncealed attempt to
change the entire character of our pub
lie school system We are not so fortu-
nate as Ohio in having an express con-
st1tutional provision against the appro
priation of public money for sectarian
schools. At least the constitutional
amendment was supposed by most peo-
pie who voted for it to have that effect,
has so far. proved very elastic provis-
ion in the hands of our municipal law sd-
visers.' The Times points out how fifty
or sixty Catholic parochisl schools may
suddenly become public charge, through
the covert and underhand method adopt
ed by this bill.

frequently medicines that will stop cough will
occasion the death of the patient; they lock up the
liver stop the circulation of the BLOOD hem orrhage
follows and in fact they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of
two-thirds of the cases OF Consumption. Many per-
sons complain Of dull pain in the side, constipa-
ton, coated tongue, pain in the shoulderbade feel
ings of drowsiness and restessMess, the food lying
heavily on the stomach, accompanied with acidity
and belching up Of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from disor-
dered condition Of the stomach or a torpid liver.
Persons affected, if they take one or two heavy
colds, and if the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged re-
naming torpid and inactive, and almost before they
are aware the lungs of sores, and ulcerat-
ed, the result of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain opium or anything calculated
to check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissoves the food, mix
es with the gastric juices of the stomach aids Giges

symptoms otherwise OF bilious tendency, Schenck's

CHILDREN LosT.-About IL o'clock yesterday
morning two small children, aged and years
respectively, left their home in the eastern part
of the city and wandered away in the direc
tion of the City Building. Their parents at
last became anxious and searched the city, but
failed to find them. Word was left at the
police station, but the officers failed to hear
from them until late in the evening, when
Deputy Marshal Williams found them both at
the house of Mr.. futile at the further end of
Congress street, lear Libby's Corner. 1t seems
they left home to visit the Western Prone
made, and after stroliing about in the vicinity
of the Maine General Hospital they became
tired and went to the house of Mr.. futile to
rest, where they were found. Their parents
were oveIjoyed at finding them.

cloak for an elderly lady. Others, beautifully
braided or trimmed with embroidered with silk,
were very handsome. These, together with
the large line of misses and ladies' walking
jackets of home manufacture, ranging as they
do from 81 to S. and upwards, offer something
adapted to every purse.
A large lot of shawls is also displayed, among
which are some handsome reversible velvet
beavers. But the most elegant thing of all is
the long velvet beaver circular, the outside of
the cloth being gray or dove-colorei and the
inside scarlet purple, striped in black and white,
or plaided in gray and white, For severe wealth
er this is as rich a cloak as one would wish.
In addition to these attractions is a fine lot of
black and colored silks with trimming silk to
correspond. We think no lady who attends
the opening will find the time misspent.

people were going to church, rough looking
fellow struck Congress street near Lincoln

But the warning he afforded-and that's what
we desire to make most prominent-was that
he cut very disgraceful figure in that he did
not walk with that directness which becomes
