SECRET ANTI-CATH OLIC
OCIETIEs.

We find in the Boston Globe such
fair, temperate and sensible series of re.
marks upon the absurd dark-lantern sys-
tenn of dealing with Political questions
that we publish them in eItenso:
The New York Herald gave what pur.
ported to be q complete expose of the
Order Of American Union, a secret anti
Catholic organization, whose declared
purposes as embodied in its oath. are
ITO perpetuate the American Union;
10 oppose the power Of the Church OF
Rome; TO sustain our free unsectsrian
schools; to oppose appropriation Of pub
lie money for sectarian purposes; to op-
pose the election OF Pspists TO political
Office" The Herald gives tho consttu-
ton OF the order and reveals the form Of
initiation. the oaths. grips. signs and
passwords.
The order itself appears to be OF very
recent growth. and probably has not ex.
tended very far outside OF New York and
the neighboriDg cities. But there seems
to be a strange passion among certain
class OF Americans to form secret orders
opposed TO the power and the pretended
msligu purposes OF tho Roman Catholic
Church. II is born of bigotry and intol.
erance and nursed by prejudice and ig-
norsnce. and it is utterly unworthy OF
people making any pretensions to intel
ligence or generosity. Probably these
orders are secret because they cannot
bear the light, but no good object is to
be attained by working in the dark

is to send East for their supplies. The
merchants and manufacturers on the At

1t is proposed to extend the time for
constructing the Northern Pacific Rail-
road An additional period OF eight
years. An endeavor is also being made
to procure an extension for the Texas
Pacific. In both cases the principle in
volved is bad. Railroad companies
should in their infancy be made TO res
pect and obey the law without murmur
or compromise. When they become
matured and powerful Mey forget all
favofs aud only seek their own advantage.
A railroad company should be treated

Gagged and its teeth and talons drawn

VIII the Centennial Exhibition
PAY?


It is estimated that 10000 peo-
pie visited the Centennial grounds
upon the opening day. Ii is also
estimated that 5000, or nearly one
fourth OF the total number, marched
in the noble army of deadheads, the
column led by GRANT. and tailed by
country editors, Philadelphia ward
politicians, and relatives of Con-
gressmen, even to the third and
fourth degrees of cousinship.
BY an easy and obvious arithme-
tical process, it will be seen that if
there were 100000 paying visitors
at fifty cents each, the total receipts
at the gates were just $4,000.
But on Thursday the total attend
ance fell to $4,000. Allowing that
the deadhead attendance decreased
| in like ratio, which, by the way, is
is not at all probable, the second
DAYS receipts were about $4,000.
The great show, excluding any
allowance for curreas expenses
whild it is open, has cost about $8,-
SOC. 900. Caterers, cigars and pop
corn peddlers, and other individuals
whose patriotism has not obscured
their enterprise, have paid in about
$500, 900 for concessions and privi-
leoes. In order, therefore, to repay
the money contributed by the Unit
ed States, Pennsylvania, and Phila-
deIphia, and private subscribers to
Centennial stock, the Exhibition
will have to net $4,000. 600 over is
running expenses.
But to earn $8,000.000 even in
gross. the receipts must average
more that $4,000 for every one
of the one hundred aud fifty nine
days of the show. This would re
ouire a daily attendance of 100, ,00G
paving visitors. is it reasonable tc
expect that this average will be
reached? We fear not. Taking
the season through, the average
attendance is more likely to ap
proach the second days figures thar
! those of the first.
II is true that the situation might
be improved by throwing open tht
Exhibition at half price on Sunday
| and by cutting off every one of tbs
| so. 900 deadheads. But, evenundel
these more favorable conditions, we
do not see any probability of th'
lrepayment I of the Government loaE
| of ST., 100000, and none of the pa
triots who have subscribed to Cen
| tenial stock by way Of speculation
can congratulate themselves on thu
prospect Of a dividend.-N. Y. San
