THE SCHOOL QUESTION ~ MASSACHUSETTS
The Archbishop of Boston, in the speech made by
HIM at the synod recently held takes a sensible
view of the question of sending Catholic children
I'm the publc schools. He said that IN his opinion
there had been attacks made upon the Catholic
religion in these schools, and thar children might
attend them when superior schools were not pro-
vided for them specially. Still, he thought schools
in which children are instructed to their religion
receiving at the same time secular education equal
TO that gwen the public schools, were to be pre-
ferred He went further. He declared that no
priest had ght to denounce people or publicly re-
fuse them the sacraments OF the church for refus-
ing 70 send their children to the parish schools He
added that he alone was competent to pass on such
controversy. and that parents not obliged 10
send their children TO such parish schools as gave
secuar training and education Inferior TO the puo-
lie schools This wise action of the Archbishop at
least pos pOnes a definite solution OF the cOntrO-
versv !: and indeed leaves the matter very much
where 1t was before the present phase OF that con-
troversy arose.
II would be agreeable # we could regard this as
q solution Of a most difficult problem. The public
schools established by law are supported by taxes
All classes of relgionists obliged to pay these
without discrimination, and very soon, 1t Is
natural to suppose, the Massachusetts, Cath
ollcs would be complaining OF the hardship
of being obliged to assist the support of schools
which they did not use. Ii would be the old ques-
,ion over again. 1t is true that there would be no
novelty in this kind OF taxation because private
schools have always been numerous In Massachu-
setts. and have been maintained mainly by wealthy
taxpayers. There have been private schools
of re gous cast. The Quakers have had them.
and so have other sectarian bodies. A double tax
has been uncompiainingly paid by those who had
their reasons for not sending their children to the
public schools and the is true of this city and
of other parts of the country.
The entire secession of the Catholic children
from the public schools would excite much discussion
i'm Massachusetts,, and the question would sooner
later get into politics. and thereby the chance Of
ITS reasonable settlement be much lessened. IL
has been there already; certain amendments of
the Constitution prohibiting the legal establish
ment Of sectarian public schools IN Massachusetts,
were rejected. The popular vote in that State is
Protestant. and is likely to remain so during tie
present day and generation. The Catholics have,
therefore, the prospect of supporting their own.
and of helping to support the secular schools. This
may impose burden but there Is every reason To be-
eye that mot cheerfuliy met 1t will at least not be
evaded. Evasion in fact. will be almost impossible.

tory manner that should raise his reputation
with the downtrodden sex. The Boston
Board OF Aldermen has passed resolution
forbidding smoking during the forenoon In
the voting places, so that these maiden pal
lots may be cast in an untainted atmosphere.
This may be the beginning of that electoral
millennium which the advocate OF woman SUI
frage has often predicted-when the ballot
box shall be twined with flowers ana grace
tut vines. and the election inspectors snail
be required 10 pass a competitive examination
in decorative art.
There are statues IN Central Park which
the people of New-York would gladly let de-

not so nearly immortal. But an Edinburgh

art destined for the Park, which will be very

There have been whitewashing" investi-

An extraordinary story is related in the report
of a committee of the State Senate, given in
substance on another page, concerning the
way In which certain members of the medical
profession attempted 10 use the Leglsla-
ture as their instrument In blackenng
the regulations of certain other men,
bers of the profession. Wholesale charges
were made against the management OF the
insane asylums of the State, which all
official and professional authorities de-
clare TO be well managed, and so

peopIe whose names had been used Ill the
petition began protesting 10y Scores either
that their names were used without their
authority, or that they desired to with

abuses. Add to this that not single
fact was discovered by the committee
sustaining the charges, and 1t will be seen
how wicked this crusade was. The Senate
Committee deserve credit for exposing the
plot as well as for defeating it.

The arrest of the Irish agitatOrs threatens
to keep the police and military authorities i'll
n state of alarm. The quiet town of Sligo
seems to have become all at once place of
great interest. During the day Mr.. Rea, the
prisoners counsel, amuses the public 10y "hack-
cling the crown witnesses, and when the maeis-
trates leave the bench for a while, he enter
tains the assemblage with "short talk on
Che threats 10 murder him. In the evening
there Is generally public meeting or grand
processiOn, when twenty armed cOnstables
follow 5000 people to keep them from stone
throwing and like diversions. Elsewhere. the
Irish seem all aglow, those IN the English and
Scotch towns being, perhaps the most demon
straiive. The crisis is iraught with trouble for
the Government If it abandons the prosecu-
tion. as report says IL may do, the agitation
will acquire renewed vigOr. while il it pro-
ceeds, 1t runs the risk OF judicial
defeat and plays directly into the
hands OF the extreme Nationalist, who.
relylng on armed force, regard pub
lie meetings as proftless and demoraliz-
ing. The most sigmfic ant outcome OF the
agitation is perhaps Mr.. Gladstone's state
ment at Il Scotch meeting that he was IN
favor of giving the Irish "hOme rule" in
local matters. This is more than he or other
Liberals would cOncede a very short time
agO.

As it Is impossible to notify directly
holders of such bonds, the press of the
country is respectfully requested to give
nubiicitr TO this notice that there NAV be
no delay in the payment of the bonds, and
that an accumulation OF money in the Trea-
sury may be avoided.

Editor Sentinel and Repablicgn-Dear Sir,
Your paper reaches us after a hard roads

your town is always read with an anxious
eye. We never see anything Of our Black
Log Valley reported in it. If l succeed in
writing anything thought to be Of intere Z

The climate will claim my first attention.
After a so-nd winter, with unusually good
sleisLing, we had a pleasant spring, and
Just now We would hail u good rain as a re-
turning lost friend, with the benediction,
praise God. from whom all blessings flow, ="
etc. We have, take it all over, / consider
most delightful climate, and healthy be-
yond a doubt. The air seems so pure and
inr.gorating, that it is a grand pleasure for
a person with weak lungs to inhale il. There
is 10 doubt in my mind that this is good
climate for those predisposed to consump-
ton, if they were careful to remain indoors
on the moss windy days; but you must
know that what is considered a stiff blow
along tie river and on the open land, is only
q pleasant breeze here.
Our mountains and the valley are per
feet picture Of ioveiiness, with many new
and charming features to the thinking and
feeling friend of wild romantic nature. l
admire especially these grand old Black
Log and Shade mountains, covered with
clumps OF trees and Shrubs, whose leaves
glisten IN beautiful green, and rival the
splendid meadows OF bright and aromatic
flower, in the valley.
Our orchards-and there is one here at
the Tannsry that often yields over thou
sand bushels of spplss-haye been long
time IN bloom. The gardens and yards are
full OF perfume, while the leaves of some
varieties OF spicewooG ere as fragrant aud
beautiful as the flowers. Nature could not
wear brighter aspect; and If the people
living in this valley are not as happy as they
seem to be-ir their bright and healthfu
faces only serve TO conceal the discomfort
the despair or the suff,1ngs wi;hin-it il
hecaUs. sin has entered the world with al
its woe, ard that ssman's inhumanity TO mar

Among cur local news the most importau'
affair is, that Mr.. ! English West made ar
