The editor Of the Carson Appeal either
has not read the News carefully Of late.
or he IL . little toe reckless in arriving
ct conclusions We hardly think he
would viliully misrspressnt us. In his
paper Of yesterday be says:
The GOLD HILL NEWS objects to an
appropriation for the Orphans' Home In
Virginia City on the ground that ~ 10
Roman Catholic Institution. Wniie mere
IL considerable consistency In this oolec-
ton, there IL NO reason why 80 deserving
an institution should not be aided. The
Home 10 under the direct supervision Oh
the Catholic Church. and managed by
sistsrs Of Charity.
The News does not object 10 the pro-
posed appropriation for the Orphan
Asylum (no. "Hons y in Virginia City
o. the ground that h Il . Roman
Catholic institution" Moreover. the
Nsws sees NO "sonsistsscy" whatever
in any such objection, solely on rslig-
ious grounds. The News IL we'll known

and liberal in religious matters. rsoog-
nisins one style Of religion to be just a.

dren Of the State. NO ssctarisn insti'
tuition, outside OF that Home. shall draw
money for its separate maintenance from
the State Treasury. This principle the
Nrws indorses a. suinsntly sound and
correct. The State must be impartial
and Just In religious - we'll - secular
matters. The money in the State treas
ury was contributed BY Jews. Gsntilss,
Catholics and Protsstants. and one seo'
