IT IS NOT the fault OF the Democratic
papers that Mr.. Conrad's awkward utter
ances at the Republican ratification meeting
bore the construction of an expression in
favor of mixed schools, and the Republican
organs In their frantic haste to explain his
language, simply expose their awful fear
lest the people should believe Mr..
Conrad was earnestly speaking his
real sentiments. As far as the
GAZETTE Is concerned there never was the
least misrepresentation about this matter.
We published Mr.. Conrad's remarks at the
time, but frankly stated that we did not
believe he meant what he said, and other
people have the same blessed privilege OF
taking him at his works or not, just as they
choose. If they hold the opinion that Mr..
Conrad is in favor of mixed schools he is to
blame for it, and not the Democratic
papers.

GERMAN CATHOLICS.
Proceedings of the Central Society at

Proceedings of the Central Society at
milwaukee,.
The Roman Catholic German Central So
ciety, in session at Milwaukee for several
days, adjourned yesterday to meet in
Evansville, Indiana, next year. Resolu-
tons were adopted during the session de
claring 1t the duty of Catholics to have their
children educated in Catholic schools, and
to contribute to the organization and main
tenance of such schools; that Catholics
should organize for the election to political
offices OF such candidates only as will prO-
mise to protect them ''in the Constitutional
right of unimpaired religious worship - and
that 'the attacks of Prohibitionists upon
personal liberty endanger the stability of
American institutions" The latter resolu-
tion says "While we believe in being tenn
perate in all things, drinking included, and
practice and recommend the same course
we consider erroneous and unwise the con
demnation and prohibition of gifts which
providence has bestowed, such as wine and
other beverages secured from fruits
and grain; that we consider the
present prohibition agitation as a
mental epidemic, lacking in logical
ana moral educational principles that we
especially protest against the prohibition de-
ciaration that the poor houses and iails
throughout the country are filled through
the effects of the license system. Maine il
a probationary State, and has no fewer
insane persons, beggars and criminals than
any other State. The real cause of a great
many of these troubles is due 70 the fact that
a great portion of the American youth is
reared wtllloaG proper moral influence" ;" Ii

AN HISTORIC PLACE.
Where the Father OF His Country Was
BaptiEed-Intsresting Relies.

washington Post.
KINsALR, WEsTMoRELAND COUNTY, Va,
Sept. l9.-About seven miles from Kinsale
is Yeocomico Episcopal church, Is one of the
oldest and most historic of the ancient land
marks Of the Old Dominion. II was here
that George Washington was baptized when
he first joined the church. The building was
erected in the year 1905, making II now 176
years old. 1t was built of brick which were
imported from England, and is inclosed by
brick wall, which, in many places, has been
allowed to decay and tumble down. II
is small, one-story building, capable Of
seating about 800 persons. The pulpit,
seats and other furniture are the same as
when the Father of his Country worshiped
there In his early days. The baptismal font,
made of stone, and about four feet high, i'm
which he was baptized, still stands In the
same position, incircled by wooden railing.
The church yard is the burying ground for
a number of the families of that section, and
noticed several old graves containing the
remains of some of the 'flrst settlers" of
the State. Adjoining one side of the church
is the old family vault, where some of
Washington's relatives sleep. The old
church is still used as place of public wor-
ship, and the pulpit is now filed in very
acceptable manner by the Rev. DR.. Brooke.
Near the church is the old spring, where
the men OF 1.-THE days that tried mems SOULS
slaked their thirst, and there is still the iron
ladle which General Washington had i'm
ported TO this country from England chained
to the root of one of the overbanging trees,
just as 1t was placed by his own hands, and
in good state of preservation.
We also visited a plantation known as
"Peckatone," very large plantation facing
the Potomac river. 1t Is said that the
original owner of this place purchased
tract of 700 acres Of land from the Indians
for one barrel Of whisky. This is one of the
most beautiful places for summer resort
on the river. 1t has fine view. The man
sion, kitchen and all the outbuildings are
massive brick structures, the brick bein i'm
ported from England. The mansion house
is very large two story building, con-
tanning % large rooms, and is said
to be about 22l years old, having been built
in 1861. The hall is about 25 feet wide. In
the centre Of this hall hangs u very large
glass globe, which was told, was placed
there about the time the building was
erected. The banisters and ratings of the
stairs are made of walnut, and are beauti-
fully carved by hand. The drawing room is
handsomely paneled up to the ceiling.
understand that a gentleman from Wash
fngton has purchased this place for sum

Honest Government

Aside from the improvements to our State
Constitution made necessary by the lapse of
time since its adoption, the people of Della
ware are vitality interested in the question
OF honest government, which is far more
important than any other issue in the
present campaign, affecting as it does every
personal and property interest in the State.
IN this connection we invite a careful COM
parison OF the two parties now contendinp
for the political control of Delaware, and
would ask every voter to consider how little
the demand of the people for continued
honesty and economy in their public affairs
would be complied with in the event of
victory for the Republican party under its
present management. 1t is not necessary to
enlarge upon this point, for the character of
the acknowledged " Boss " and ruler of the
party is such as to convince any thoughtful
citizen that the real interests of the people
would receive as little consideration at his
hands as an honest and respected citizen of
Washington received from the creatures of
Boss Sheppard's " District Ring" whom he
sought to displace from the positions they
disgraced by public robbery and political
debauchery.
On the other hand, the Dem ocratic party.
after ruling the State with signal honesty
and economy for quarter of century,
now comes before the people for new lease
of power and presents for their considera-
tion as good a set of candidates-state and
iocal-as the citizens of Delaware ever had
an opportunity of voting for. Every declara-
tion OF the Democratic platform is empha-
sized In the personal character of the Demo-
cratic candidates, and the history of the
party they representa- is ample guarantee that
the honest administration of the mast
twenty-five years will be continued if the
government of the State is placed in their
hands.
10 prove that this praise of our past ad-
ministration by Democratic officials is not
mere political buncombe, expressed for the
purpose oftickling the ears ofvoters, but is the
real, downright truth, We have only to quote
from speech delivered few years ago by
Anthony Higgins, Esq, one of the ablest
Republican leaders in the State, who, how
ever, is little inclined to assist the Repub-
lican party under It's present management
to achieve victory in the present campaign.
This is what he said
In these days Of peculdtion Dela,cdre
" stands first among ciUilized communities for
" the rigid honesty Of its government. / am
" conscious that not a dime Of the States
" money has eVer been dishonesty used"

the Sussex county Republicans enthusiastic
over the ticket he had nominated at his own
dictation and for his own purposes. 1t is
no use. The people of Delaware do not In
tend to be politically ruled by Dick Har-

the State, no matter how many newspapers
may suppress their honest inclinations and

SALT LAKE CRY, UTAH, Sept. 27.-Gov-
ernor Murray, In obedience to the law of
Congress providing for appointments to fiji
vacancies occasioned by failure to hold an
election in August, has appointed num-
Der OF officials throughout Utah In defiance
OF this law and the Edmunds bill, which
isqnalihes polygamists, the appointees of
the Governor have been refused the records
and places to which they have been an
pointed.
This organized notification ia in obedi-
ence to the orders of the Mormon leaders.
Those who think it criminal to hold over are
whipped in by counsel and threats, and the
polygamists are holding on, Congress to the
contrary notwithstanding. Writs of man
damus were applied for to-day to enforce
the title Of the officials appointed. The
action OF Governor Murray in firmly exc
cutting the law in the face Of the Mormon
leaders is approved by all law abiding
people.

solid for the Ring by the Republican

publican victories in these two counties Dick
Harrington's road to the United States
