What the Roman Catholics Pro-
pose TO Do.

By request of Archbishop Purcell,
Bishop McQuid, of Rochester, New
York, visited Cincinnati in May, and
there delivered his lecture on the poll
cy and demands of the Roman Catho-
lie Church with respect to the Public
Schools. Among other things, he said:
catholics should avoid side issues.
The Spanish Inquisition punished with
torture; the Bismarck Inquisition pun
isheS by throwing men into dungeons;
the american LnQuiSitiOn Furnishes by
tQrdtiOa.
He had not voted since he had been
Bishop, but he hoped the time would
come when he might exercise the right.
He hoped this question would be bro't
to a vote. Said he: 81 stand here and
say, that unless we bring this thing of
the school taxes to the public ballot, we
do not deserve the name of Catholics.
II may not be necessary to bring it to
the ballOt-bCX; we may, by making a
demand, effect compromise; we may
obtain platform on which we may
stand. Politicians aCW come to as
Irish, German and American Catholics
will not be so patient as their fathers
have been. The platform of the schools
is not now for us. 1t is for Jews, for
IntfdeIs, for Protestants; but we are
under it. Suppose we get strong
enough to rise up. Remember the
platform is on US. Where will the
platform be then? Men will learn that
we have something more to do than
praying; IRE must Uote, and the tdynlen
must cOrk. There is jealousy of the
priests, which will not have force
against the earnest, persistent labor of
the laymen"

CHRONICLE.
ST, GAINESVILLE, OHIO.
THURSDAY, JUNE "a, 1875.
What Ii Organizes.

The Democratic party is the organization OF
the dangerous classes; those who prey upon
community or who would destroy it:
1t is the political embodiment of whatever
there is-of total depravity in this nation:
As a party the Democracy is ofiicered by the
usercrs and led by the master monopolists and
spectators.
1t is the party OF the Roman Hierarchy and
its counsels find inspiration in that ecclesiast-
cal diabolical whose foremost expression is in
the Syllabus thundered forth by the Vatican,
denouncing all free thought and the political
social life and movement that grows there
from.
1t does not follow that all Democrats are
conscious supporters of these forces. lgno-
rance. prejudice and the habit of accepting
opinions at second hand, all tend to keep their
party alive, and to bring to their standard both
the brute will and trained wit which naturally
allies themselves with evil There is an
italian proverb born of the elder NapoleOn's
wars, which reply translated, says, mot all
Frenchmen are thieves, but most Of them are. }"
This may be rendered for our purpose-not all
Democrats are dangerous, but many of them
are-RepIbGcaR.

what Are We to Do

Editing paper is nice business. If
we publish jokes people say we are rat
tle-headed; if we omit jokes they say
we are an old fossil. If we publish
original matter they blame us for not
giving selections; if we publish selec-
tions folks say we are lazy for not writ
ing something they have not read in
some other paper. If we give man a
complimentary notice we are censured
for being partial; if we do net give
complimentary notices folks say we are
a hog. FIVE do not cater to the wishes
OF the Indies the paper is not fit to make
a bustle. If we remain in our Office and
attend to our business folks say we are
too proud to mingle with our fellows; if
we go out they say we never attend to
our business. If we do not pay our
bills promptly folks say we are not to
be trusted; il we do pay promptly folks
say we stole the money. II we wear
poor clothes folks say business is bad.
If We wear good clothes they say we
never paid for them. Now, what are
we to do?

Maine Republican Convention.

PORTLAND, Me-, June l5.-The State
Republican Convention met this morn
ing, W. W. Thomas, jr., presiding.
After the committee of Permanet Or
ganization was appointed, President
Thomas and Eugene Hale made adj
dresses, and the Convention took a
recess.
On reassembIing of the Convention, a
series of resolutions were adopted,
strong in party tone. Their salient
points are as follows: That the Union
of the States must be maintained at all
hazards; that the Government is that of
a Nation, and not of cOnfederacy; that
self-government in matters purely local
must be adheredhto; that there can be
no legitimate conflict between the pow
ers of the Nation and any State; a sound
currency, based on coin and redeema-
bic in coir is essential to to the prosper
ity of the people; and that most kindly
and fraternal relations should be cuiti-
waited between all sections Of the coun-
try. On the first ballot General Selden
Conner was nominated for Governor,
receiving 497 out of 502 votes.

3,39S, 200 head; Missouri, 2,092, 900 head;

The Senate having passed the
House bill for the admission of Colo
RADIO and New Mexico as States, with
some immaterial amendments, it is
almost certain that the anxious peo-
pie of those Territories will have their
wishes gratified. Colorado has pop
ulation of 100000, with 735 miles Of
completed railroads constructed, at a
cost of s30,000,000. New Mexico has
also grown rapidly in wealth and pop
ulation since 1870. The conditions
annexed to the privilege are that the
proposed State Constitutions are not
to be voted on until July, 1875, and
that those instruments shall secure
perfect political and civil equality to
all the people of the new Common
wealths. These conditions are Just to
