Catholics and Proe,tants in School
Fuss.

New Britain, Conn.,, Oct. 6.-The
school board some time since allowed
the Catholics to conduct the town
and apportioned school monies to them
on plegde of the teaching being nom
sectarian. The pledge was violated and
the Protestant children were withdrawn
when the school became distinctively
Catholic. The priest, Carmody, now
seeks to have newly erected convent
placed on the same footing, and actu-
ally obtained concessions from the
school board. Great Indignation fol-
lowed, and as the election for members
of the board takes place next Monday
there promises to be sharp and bitter
contest. The town is largely Roman
Catholic. Public meetings Of the Pro-
testants have been held and the dis
patch states that there has never been
such an excitement over any local ques'
ton.

two in doing so.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 3l---Tho two advisory
committeeS of the House and Senate Demo.
cratic caucuses held u joint meeting to .day.
and reached n substantially unanim Gus gree,
mcnt IA to the course Of action that should be
adopted by the dominant party with regard
to tho appropriation bills. After q very full
interchange OF viows and an especially inmate
examination Of tho Presidents veto messages
in connection with sundry existing statutes
prohibiting interference BY the army with
elections, it WAC decided to recommend the
immediate passage of q bill making the usual
appropriations for tho support Of tho army
throughout tho fiscal year, but containing a
proyiso that no portion Of tho money therein
appropriated shall DO used for the pay, trans.
portation, equipment, or subsistence Of any
troops used for police purposes to keep peace
at polls. 1t was further decided to recon.
mend the passage Of the Legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill in substantially
tho samo terms as last yoar's bill, and for tho
same amounts, except that they shall bo moro
minntoly specified, and except also that It
shall not make any provision for the pay Of
supervisors or deputy marsllals of elections
Tho new bill will, however, contain q oIauso
providing that no officer shall be appointed
or obligation incurred, for any object for
which n specific appropriation shall not have
bcen mado by Congross. This clause is al
ready on tho statute book, with the exception
of Tho words cor obligation incurred" and
there is also q law existing which prohibits

The Weather and Crops.

The past ton days have beon exceedingly
warm for May and withal'very dry insomuch
that garden vegetables have been greatly
injured. Field crops have been rather bene
flied, as itafforded n much needed opportunity
to kill grass, thin out cotton and put The
crops in thorough growing order. This has
been generally dono throughout tho county
and good season now would provo stimu-
lus to tho crops Of all kinds. The dry spoil
has perhaps shortened spring oats and pre-
vented their filling rs woll as they might
otherwise have done, but tho benefit moro
than countorbalances such injury. In fact

birne OH last Tuesday night, 27lh Of May.
The fire originated in his cook room, which was

but went 10 work to save MS much as possible
from Tho flames lie succeeded in saving his
bacon, which was in room adjoining the cook
room, but his -four, cooking utensils aud
crockcrywarc were all destroyed. The house.
hold furniture was also saved, and only n small
lot of wearing apparel was lost. THUS one of
tho best kolises in The community lins been
swept away. Mr.. Lawrence is new conner

Congress-T The Country.

/ .H. SSAASSAoSo AAO NOuAGI VI
For weeks Congress has been In session
without accomplishing any positive good or
preventing any positive evil. It was con-
vened in extra session from sort Of necessity,
growing ont Of failure Of The previous
Congress to mako such appropriations as
were required FOR the different branches Of
the government. This hns not yet been
accomplished and tho body is ntn 6cad.lock
in the matter Of legislation, by reason
Of tho differences between tho controlling
majority in Congress md the President.
Tho military appropriation bill was passed
with q rider prohibiting military interference
with elections, but the bill was vetoed rs
heretofore stated. a bill was then passed MS
u separate measure to prevent military.intcr-
ference with elections, which met the,sam
fatc. Tho legislative appropriation bill with
Il rider has since been passed, but was vetoed,
and SO from di fferences between tho cxecu-
1.-Two and legislative branches Of tho govern
mont, no one of tho measures of public
interest, which led to the call of The extra
session. has been acted upon successfully.
There seems to be an irrcconcilable differ

~ PREMIER AND CARDlNAL.-A
remarkable paragraph is published in
one OF tho Anmlo-Roman papers re-
spccting the new English Cardinal
and the present Premier Of England.
1t reads as follows: On most Satur-
day afternoons in the last year of the
first decade Of the, present century,
two boys, aged respectively nine and
five, might have bocn seen playing in
the grounds Of Bloomsbury square,
London. The boys, both natives Of
the square, offered the most complete
contrast to each other in appearance.
The younger, whose head was pro-
fuse with long, black, glossy ringlcts,
was child Of rare jewish type Of
beauty, and full Of life and activity.
The other, was grave III dcmeanor,
wore his hair close cut, and walked
and talked and moved in way which
in young people is called "old-fashion-
ed" lie was of pure English race
and Puritanical family. The names
Of the children denoted these differ
cnccs as much rs their appearances.
The one was Benjamin D'Isracli, the
other John Newman.
SiXtv-cights years have passed since
then, and much has happened in the
meantime, but nothing more wonder
full than that tho handsome littlo. Jow
boy should become Christian and
Prime Nlinister OF Protestant England,
and tho Puritan lad Catholic and a
Cardinal Of the Holy Roman Church.

Tho railroad and tho Telegraph.

We have thus far refraincd from
saving anything additional i'll regard
to tho removal Of tho telegraph office
to the freight depot, bccause'we hoped
that the railroad would show some re-
spect, for the wishes Of its patrons ana
brinethe Office back to the central
place in which it hos always been
located. AS we have fhilcd, however,
to detect any spirit Of accommodation
in the road, we wish to say something
further that aue kaoao on this subject,
Ever since we can remember the tele-
graph Office has been located in the
passenger depot. Tho operator was
paid partly by the telegraph company,
for general messages, and partly ny
tho railroad company for telcgraphing
its dispatches. Several months ago
the telegraph company ceased paying
the operator anything; and the plea the
railroad makes is that because 1t pays
the whole salary of the operator 1t hos
right to do just what. it pleases, re-
gardless of anybody elso's comfort.
In reply wc have only to- say that the
railroad company n(unlcss it hos
changed in tho last week or 80, which
wo doubt,) does notpay Sho)operatos
