The Convention heard with great
pleasure, a paper by Rev. III. L.
Rose, of Plymouth Church, Mil
waukee, on s'The Bible in the Pub
lie School Without attempting to
epitonize it, It's tone may be suggest
ed by the fact that it began with
stating that the object of the public
school is to qualify the children to
| live in free state; and ended with
the conclusion that we are not ready
in this country yet, to establish an
'sindex Of prohibited books,'' and
put the Bible at the head fit.
Hon w. G. Allen followed on the
same subject, and the desire was ex-
pressed by many, that both gentle
men would give through tie press, a
wider circulation to what they had
uttered,

JUDGE NOT.

Judge not the working Of his brain
And of his heart theu canst not see,
What looks to thy dim eyes stains,
In Gods pure light may only be
A scar, brought from some well-fought field,
Where thou wouldst only faint and yield.
The look. the air thar frets thy sight
May be token, that below,
The soul has closed in deadly light
with some internal, fiery foe.
Whose glance would scorch thy smiling grace
And cast thee shuddering on thy face.

gentlemen, one of wnom built church
for the convenience of his vassals and
tenants and soon all the landlords fol-
lowed his example. In due time others
became rich landowners aud they, in
turn, built and endowed churches and
Monasteries and ct the time of the re-
formation the land was covered with
such buildings, all richly endowed, with
out any compulsion whatever, ard all
bound to support the poor of their par
ish, for IN bestowing lands or money
upon church or Mepasl cry the donor
made it part of the conditions, that they
must support the poor and the strangers.
At least one third of the revenues of
every church went to support the poor,
one third to repair the church, and one
third to support the priest, who, if re-
moved, could take nothing away with
him. This was the state of things for a
long while until the poor became too
numerous to be supported by the bounty
of the benevolent. Then the system of
tithiDg was first introduced into the
poorest parishes and did not become
general for long while. But in every
case the poor were we'll taken care of by
the church up to the time of the reform
alton, when the tyrant Harry robbed the
church and the poor; and before the
end of his reign the land was covered
with beggars, q thing never heard Of
before. The words beggar, pauper, and
poorhouse were invented in the reign.
Elizabeth and to her we are indebted
for our present system of maintaining
the p@or; and perhaps no better system :
could be devised.
Ever since the time of Elizabeth conn
pulsory means have been employed to
maintain the church and the poor. But
the churches in our day and in our state
do not support the poor, therefore
agree with Mr.. Kellogg that they should
be taxed; the church is as much an indi-
vdual as am and should be compelled
to pay tribute to Caesar There are
four churches in the littletown Of Wheat
land worth in the aggregate hftonn thon-
sand dollars. There are many persons
in the town who do not believe in the
doctrines taught in these churches, never
theless they are compelled to pay taxes
upon that large amount of property. It
is great cause of complaint and should
be remedied as soon as possible.

Hon. Peter Fagg, a leading German Demo-
crat in Milwaukee, Wis.,, has pronounced for
Hayes and Wheeler.
Our Bueksport correspondent writ that
the Republicans there are waking up and
have formed Hayes and Wheeler club.
A Rockland Republican says that the party
in that city have not been so thoroughly in
earnest for many years as at present.
Flag-raisings are the order of the day in
Maine villages just now. The most of them
are for Hayes and Wheeler.
Among the names of speakers enrolled for
the campaign by the National Republican
Committee are those of Mrs. Devereux Blake
and Mrs. Jane o. DeForest.
Gov. Hayes intends to take no part in the
Presidential canvass, therein following the
example of President Lincoln, who made nc
speeches for himself.
The Whig learns that Hon. Lyndon Oak
of Garland, one of the most reliable Republi
cans in Penobscot county, will accept an in
dependent nomination for Congress in the
Fourth District.

Kelly aud John Morrisey have buried the

Democratic Economy Illustrated.

The first Monday in last December, Secre-
tary Bristow in his annual report to the
House of Representatives earnestly recon-
mended that authority be conferred upon
him to place $500, ,0OO, 900 of offour-and-a-haf per
cent. bonds on the market at once in order
that he. might call in an equal amount of fve-
twenty bonds bearing six per cent. interest.
1t was his opinion and that of eminent bank
ers all over the country that $500,000,000 of
four-and-a-half per cent. bonds could be
promptly negotiated. There is every reason
to believe that Col. Bristow was right. The
banks in money centres are full of money not
only in this country but in Europe. A few
years since United States bonds were looked
upon with suspicion by capitalists abroad be-
cause of the declarations of the Democratic
party in 1868 that such securities should be
paid in greenbacks. But thanks to the hon.
esty of the American people and the contin-
ued ascendency of the Republican party, the
credit of the United States Government has
been established upon so firm basis that
there is no reason why our national securi-
ties may not be placed at as low rate of
interest as those of any first class government
in Europe. Had the Treasury Department
been authorized to issue four-and-a-half per
cent ponds, there is no question but that the
$5O0,0O0,O0 would have been negotiated by
: the first of next January, thereby saving the
Treasury $4,000, 900 ANNUALLY in gold.
When this amount was placed there would
remain $4s5,0O0,0O0 of six per cent. bonds and
the way would then be open to place the bal
ance of the national debt at lower rate of
interest, perhaps four per cent. By this policy
In the course of few years the entire indebt
edness of the Government would be placed at
lower rate of interest and thus at least
S15,OOO,O6O would be saved ANNUALLY
to the taxpayers.
Did the Democratic majority in the House
heed the advice of the Secretary of the Treas
ury? By no means. Mr.. Hale of Maine
introduced bill granting the Secretary the
desired authority, but it was sent to Con-
federate Committee and never again heard
OF! The bill might have been disposed of
before the holidays, yet it was never consid-
cred by the committee.
On the other hand, the Republican Senate
saw the Importance Of the measure, and
instead of spending itsstime in pairing down
the salaries of half-paid clerks and abolishing
the band at West Point, promptly passed a
bill giving tie Secretary of the Treasury all
the authority required. The bill went to the
House, but the House Committee to which
1t was referred have not yet reported the
measure to that body.
Why has the House taken no action on
this important measure? Simply because
the Republicans would possibly gain the
credit of saving 81 100000 annually

THERE is trouble in the town of Windsor.
In 1862 the management of town affairs
passed into the hands of the Democracy and
was held until last spring. At that time a
clean sweep was made. The.new board of
selectmen at once discovered ''crookedncss''
in the town finances. Accordingly they en-
ployed an export and he has discovered that
the town debt is over $3O, 200, whereas the
Democratic board reported it $4,000. There
is. therefore, the sum of over 5000 or more
than five per cent Of the towns valuation
lost or stolen by those who have managed af-
fairs the past fourteen years. Yet it is most
probable that these selectmen have shouted
for honesty and economy.

Nor since 1856 when Maine rolled up her
magnificent majority for Fremont has the
Republican party in this State entered upon
campaign under more fattering auspices
then upon the present: nor, even in 1860,
was the enthusiasm more manifest or more
deep felt. The grand outburst which greeted
Mr.. Blaine Monday night was significant of
overwhelming victory in September. The
Republicans of Maine will show the country
that here at least there is no faltering and
that the fires of patriotism burn as brightly
as of yore,
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1876-08-16

The deep significance of the meeting Mon
day night cannot be inexperienced. 1t
means that Maine recognizes the vital i'm
portance of the issues at stake in the CAM
paigu and that her loyal people are aroused
to the exigencies of the contest. There is
not Republican in the city who does not
feel stronger and better for those tumultu-
Gus cheers. We know each other now; we
stand shoulder to shoulder again; and it is
only a question how many thousands shall
be added to the ordinary majority.

THIS confidence game" which the Demo-
Gratis are putting up on the creditors of the
nation is anything but a success. The aver
age citizen would fail to be inspired with
trust at the declaration of his debtor that the
note payable at stated time was not to be
paid until the debtor grew very rich and
would feel it no burden to pay his bill; and
what is true in contracts between man and
man is true in greater measure in contracts
between the government and its creditors.

THERE have been famous steeds all the
the way down from Bucephalus to Rosi-
mantle, and the breed is not yet run out. East
Machias continues the long and glorious line,
and the steed, in the fashion of the times,
forsakes war for politics. The charger which
has pranced so gaily into the campaign in
this State is yet anonymous; but, in spite of
its ownership it is evidently not of Demo
cratic blood, for it assisted in the suppression
OF the rebellion. Its appearance is mem
orable one; for, for the first time in all bis
tory. man bases his claim TO the confidence

JUST now great many gentlemen are
filing their claims for property taken and

'onpleasantness." If Crosby Shorey of Ma

his horse to transport soldiers in 1861, why
does. he not put in his claim? The present
House isn't particular about the iron-clad
