CATHOLICS AND METHoDIsTs.-The Catholic
Church has been a political party from the be-
ginning, and onr politicians have not taken
alarm. They have captured cities, appro-
priated large sums of the peoples money and
are now striving to obtain possession of our
schools, while the party leaders feel bound to
hold them to be immaculate people. How is it
that they start and set all the papers bowling at

dabble in politics than for Cathoicsi Where is

The WEST TO THE FRoNT.-The act for which
Speaker Kerr has been most sever ely censured,
is the most commendable act that he has per-
formed-the selection of Cbarmen of Standing
Committees. He has signifed to the East that
there is a West, and that the West shall be rec
ognized as power in the land. While the East
held the power in Congress, the West was treat
ed as very Insignificant portion of the country.
The bulk Of the legislation was monopolized by
the East. TheIe were always millions to apPro-
pirate for the improvement of seacoast harbors,
but it was unconstitutional to appropriate for
the improvement of Western rivers aud har-
bors. Even when the census showed the South
and West to have the preponderance Of popula-
tion, it was almost impossible for these sections
to obtain a fair representation, SO unwilling was
the East to yield power which she had clung
to long after that upon which it had originally
been based had passed fsom her. On the curren-
cy question, too, the East has dictated the policy
of the Government. Now is the first time that
she has been given back seat; aud even now
she is felcitating herself with the idea that she
will control legislation by means of the superior
parliamentary skill and experience of her men,
bers.

NEW RING.-It would seem, from the follow

Grangers are having fight with ..rings' in their

hoped that there one organization into
which the hateful "rng' could never enter:
At no time in the history of the Grange in Kan
sas was the appointment of a State Agent, who
could command the confidence and support of

sential to the order as at present. The appoint-
ment of A. t. Stewart, member of the Executive
Committee of Cowley County. the most active of
the personal ring to the position of State Agent,

poses to aggressively sustain the ring even at the
expense of the best interests of the order The

"VERITAs"-This correspondent, in our pres
ent issuc comes to the defence of the Catholic
Church an the political issue. We like to see
man fight for his faith; but he is slightly mstak-
en-. in speaking of our advocacy of or plea for the
third term We Thought that we had expressed
oursrlf 50 often and plainly against third term,
that we could not be misunderstood. Perhaps
Vrritas refers to nnr article, in which we spoke
of the probability of Grants third nomination,
and raised the question what We should do in
that case. 1t is an alternative to which we may
he redncd, to accept Grant for third term, or
Bourbon Democrat i'm his stead. If, after throw
ing our mite against third term, 1t is thrust
upon lis notwithstanding, we think we should
accept Grant in preference to any one of the De
mucracy wOnld he likely to nOmnate-for we
cannot imagine that they would show the good
sense to take any man but an "ld-time Democrat
with all the prrjudicrs of twenty years ago, and
who longs for a return of the good old times OF
the LASH bludgeon and bOwie-kufr, previous {"
the rrhrlinn.
We think, alsn, that "veriias" is unnecessarily
alarmed alunt the Meihodists becoming the es
tabIisIre,l Churgh. If Grant has given the pref

IIarc the idea of the Quaker Church becoming
the established Church of the Empire of. Ameri-
ca! We should have no more war, no more mill
tary heroes, more Caesars, no more shoddy
cuniracts-it is too dreadful to think of!
The dark intimation thrown out by "Veritas,"
in case Grant is elccted for third term-revou-
tinn, anarchy, or what not-is old. The Sonth
tried it almost fifteen years ago, because n ma
jorty of the people dared to decide contrary TO
their notions, and the result is yet fresh in the
memory of the people. The same people who
tried it Then, have partially regaiued their lost
power but not sufficiently to commence their
Old-time threats. just such dark hints will go
further 10 upset the arguments of ''Veritas" in
favor of his Church, than many columus that any
person might write for that especial purpose.

REPORTS ABoU LAPPIN.-The latest reports
ahOnt Lappin TO the effrct that he has gone
East, without letting any person know where he
may be addressed, and it is supposed he antici-
pates jumping the country. There are reports
of other Deficiencies in the Treasury, besides the
amounts paid on forged bonds, aud that the
Treasury of Nemaha County is also short on his
-accuunt. Mr.. Scrafford is still absent, one
knows where, and all the property of Lappin
and Scraffurd has been attached.
In a case like this, there are always rumOrs
that have no foundation, that are unjust to the
accused We have been friend to Mr. Lappin
and Mr. Scraff ord, and sill hope that they may
make all appear right. Appearances, we confess,
are at present against them. If they have alb
seconded, it is a confession of their guilt, and
feelings of friendship will have TO give way TO
stern facts. A short time will settle the ques-
tion.
If Mr. Lappin is guilty, as now appears, it will
relieve the School Fund Commissioners from the
impntatinn that has been cast npnn them, that
they accuSed LaPpin in order to cover up their
own gross carelessness. Sumewhat careless they
may have been, but not criminally so, if they
make the showing that they claim they can.
