Catholic Priests in NewEusiness.

According to the organ of the working.
men paper. whose editor says he is a
Catholic, the intimation is broadly
made that Catholic priests have
examined the plan of this secret league
and fully approve of it. 1t is hardly
to be believed that Catholic priests APP
prove Of any such secret political society
or dark lantern league" The statement
in the organ is for no other purpose than
to draw Irish Catholics into the support of
this secret league. This use Of Catholic
priests pretended approval casts con-
temptible slur upon the church. II
Catholic priests do approve of these secret
leagues it is new departure and they
should say 50 over their own signature
Have the priests of this city anything to
say upon this subject?

That Row.

The ARGUS has but one comment to
make concerning that row last night where
10 a school teacher was horse-whipped by
an indignant mother. Both are females
and both we're in the wrong. The mother
should have complained to the School
Board, and if no attention was paid to the
complaint she should have com planned be-
fore some justice of the peace; while the
teacher should be promptly discharged as
well as Mr., Parrish, the principal of the
school who allowed the whipping. Any
teacher who cannot maintain order without
resOrtiDg to hair pulling. ear outing,
Jamming, kicking or whipping pupils as not
comp etent to teach. To parents alone
belongs the privilege of classifying their
children, uless specially delegated to the
teacher by the parent. Whipping in
schoolsEis relic of paritauism and bar
oarous custom, and the teacher who does
IL lslncompetent and deficient 10 one of the
most essential qualifications of an educator.
since the above was written we have been
reliably informed that the mother had del
egated to the teacher the right to chastise
the child.

The Facts.

The facts in reference to the item in last
evening ARGUS relating to the Ladies
Relief Society," implying partiality in the
distribution of their charities, are, as we
learn from the officer Of that society. that
Mr.. Meyers had received S. from the jew
ish Benevolent Society, and So from Su-
pervisOr Aster, which was not sufficient to
take him and his wife to Chicago. He
then applied to the Ladies' Relief society
for enough to take him through, and that
they did supply him with the necessary
amount.
1t is question whether this society is
not intended for the poor OF the city, while
the transient poor should be provided for

The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the stepping
stone to health. When the system lacks vitality,
the various organs flag in their duty, become
chemically irregular and disease is eventually IN
situated. TO prevent this unhappy state Of things
the debilitated system should be built up tthe
use OF that inimitable tonic, Hostetter's Stomach
bltters which invigorates the digestive organs and
insures the thorough conversion OF food into blood
OF nourishing quality, from whence every mus
Gle, nerve and finer acquire unwonted supplies OF
yigor, and the whole system experiences the bens-
eial effect. Appetite returns the system Is re,
strong and calm tba despondency begotten of
chronic indigestion and an uncertain state Of health
disappears and that saliow appearance of the skin
peculiar to habtual invaids, and persons aenclsn.

What the Catholic Paper OF Davenport
says of the Dark Lantern



The Davenport weekly Telegraph which
is the professional organ of the Catholics
of Davenport does not seem to think that
Catholic priests have. examined the organ
ization of the Dark Lantern League" and
fully Endorsed it, as we judge from the
following article in that paper this week
The Telegraph most emphatically con
dennis the unwise attempt to convert the
hitherto hourishing workingmen's organi-
cation in Rock Island into dark lantern"
or secret society. There is no reason why
such legitimate and useful associations
should not be open as the day and court
full investigation as to both their means
and ends, With the history and fate of
the Know Nothing" order before their
eyes,-that movement now despised most
heartily by those once its dupes. and who
best appreciate its failures and the merci-
less ridicule heaped on it by 'Doesticks'
and other humorists-that wrong headed
men will deliberately mediate reviving
such concern. 1t would inevitably be a
cloak for demagogues. Men would join
under assumed names 10 order to reap the
supposed political benefits. An organi-
cation to help the workingmen's cause,
with passwords, grips, etc., besides kind
ling the mirth of the regular Masonic and
similar bodies, necessarily deprives the
cause of the cooperation of much of the
best bone and sinew and brain of the toll
ing portion of the community.
Without the aid Of the Catholic working
men of this country and the numerous
class among the non Catholics who are
opposed to secret societies on other conscl
entious or prudential grounds, there will
not be enough vitality in the movement
except IN some particular localities to keep
it from speedy corruption, and deep burial
by disguised people at the first election
afording an opportunity for the sexton s
work. Les the question of the day be dis
cussed in open meetings with the spirit
and candor that become free men. If any
men lose situations on account of their ac-
tivity at open meetings, let it be borne 10
mind that nothing could possibly be better
for their cause-that the blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed of the church." And
furthermore, a secret order would be re-
garded with suspicion by influential class
es that would otherwise favor all proper
means of lettering the condition of work
ing men, and of course ALLEVIATE their moral
support and favorable influence.

As others see them,

Our city council are great on negotiating
bonds and such things, but when it comes
to looking ahead for the interests of busi-
ness men and shippers the responsibility
is altogether too weighty Here is what
the Democrat says the Northern Line
Packet Co. will do.
1t is rather doubtful if the company will
accept the tender of a five years lease of
a tract on the levee in Rock Island made
by the city council of that city. The re-
quest was for lease of ten years, and the
right to lay switches, and had that request
been granted the company would have
constructed u permanent depot, and laid
tracks to the other depots there; but as it
is there will be probably no depot erec-
ted at all, and freight and passengers will
be dumped upon the leYee as heretofore.
The policy of the Rock Island folks will
not stop the running of the fast line, how
ever; that line will certainly be put on,
butsits main terminus will of course be
Davenport, where all facilities for freight,
passengers and supplies will be afforded.
