THE DANGER SIGNAL.
From the N. Y. Nation, Rep.

From the N. Y. Nation, Rep
The danger signal which the rcpub-
lican press of Ohio has been displaying
for some days over the prospects of the
party in that state is now raised by the
Tribune. 1t is frankly admitted that
the outlook for the republican success,
which was very good a few weeks ago,
is-at present gloomy. The Tribune
says that the "danger appears to- lie
in the apathy of the republicans
and calls for The 'instant and
cordial cooperation of leading repub-
licans from all the states to raise the
canvass TO the plane of national poll
tics" We should say that the srrcst
way TO dispel the ''apathy" would be
to have the state leaders, Mcssrs. Sler-
man and Foraker, raise the canvass
out of the grave OF dead Issues To the
plane of live ones. The apathy dates
from the moment that they appeared at
the front with the sectional issue as
their party's chief battle-crv, anil out
side help would only deepen it unless Il
change of policy were adopted. It is
one of the most cheering signs OF the
times that even Ohio, where the mug
wump is said by the republican stale
press to be unknown, is passing be-
yond the control of the republican
bourbOms.

SENATOR SHERMAN.
From the n. Y. Nation, Rep.

Senator Sherman takes his position
rs No. . in Senator Hoar's "party of
three" He says that in his opinion
the sectional issue is s'by far the most
important before the merican pcople;r
that there is nothing dead about it;
that the northern people are not fully
awake to its importance; that he deems
it Il patriotic duty TO arouse the public
conscience upon it, and that he had
rather be permanently retired from
public life than DE silent upon it. This
is in effect Senator lIOars attitude.
Both IL N are resolved to cling to the
past, even if they have to step INTO the
grave to do it. They prefer defeat on
the Old issue to victory on TIE new
ones, and if they succeed in inducing
;he republican party TO follow their
leadership, they will undoubtedly have
their preference. The country cannot
be "arouscd' any more on the sectional
;sue, simply because arouSiugs aegra-
waite rather Than renOV the difficult
ties. Senators Sherman and Hoar NAV
go about i'll the old way, ignoring all
the vital questions of the time, answer
ing all unpleasant inquiries about them
by wiplng Il tear from their eyes and
saying ''poor negro" but they will
arouse nothing more than a genera.
scepticism concerning their own memta.
soundness.

A QUESTION AND AN ANSWER.
From the n. Y. Herald

Oar nei2hbor the Tribune leaps at a
democratic bIunder as IL trout does al II
ilv. We have no fault to find with this
popularity, provided the animus is pa
not partisan. a good admins
tration will always bear Watching. a
bad administration needs it.
Our special correspondent i'll Wash
iugton photographed recently II report
that certain we'll known leaders of the
democracy were Interested in the cal
tie leases in the Indian Territory, and
called upon these gentlemen TO explain.
'rhcreupon the Tribune, not without L
Sucer, asks if a questionable transac-
tion is 10 be considered questionable
when il involves il democrat.
IL forgcts that the party in power
knows how to redeem il pledge as well
Us to make one. With :he republicans
a pledge was IA mere form Of words.
They had IA genius for piiing up prom
iseS of reform and then standing on
the summit thereof and calling atlen :
lion TO the large variety OF moral ideas
bv which they were surrounded. But
Inc practice of the party was not equal
to lis professions. 1t put on the robe
of the Fharlsec and then began to
pilter.
The question OF our contemporary is
not Il difficult one to answer. The pcO-
pie of this country came to the con
clusiOn last November That they had
been duped by prctence long enough.
and they deliberately evicted the party
which had duped them. They cX.
pressed Il decided opinion that partisan
politics should not shield wron"-doors
That opinion is in the air nOw, and il
Will be well for the people if it stays
there. Whatever is wrong about these
cattle leases should be exposed, anC
we have entire confidence that under
democratic Icgj3ae that Justice will b,
mCtcd out which the people looked 70
from rcpublicanism, but looked Tor il
vain.

NOT PARALLEL GASES.


Our esteemed contemporary, the
Tribune, acting on the principle that
the civil-seryicc rule ought - work
both ways, insists that if "otfenslve
plrtisanship" is a just cause for reno
val, it is by the same token a just cause
for declining to appoint, and saws,
What sorL of Il code OF political etblcs
is it which holds that what is sauce for
the republican goose is moi to be re-
ganded as sauce tor the democratic
9ander? If offensive partisanshlp be an
evil in a republican it is al evil in a
democrat. Gallatin, Webster or HARRISON
would laugh at the proposition that 1t
was defensible to turn out a republican
because he was an offensive partisan only
to turn in a democrat i'll spite OF the fact
that his offensive partisanshlp was
known and read of all men who take
an Intelligent interest in politics.
What is the matter with the solemn
| Tribune that it either will not see Or
canno; see the difference between being
an '%'offensive partisan" while out OF
public Office and moi holding any pub
lie trus., add using a federal Office, its
money, lis influence aud IFS opporfu-
| niles, in an offensive manner TO pro-
mote partisan purposes and interests:
Gallatin, Webster and Harrison had
| clear heads. They could understand
that a mau who is a pubic servant,
paid by the government for doing the
peoples business and owing respect 10
all his employers alike, ought not 10
use his position to unduly advance the
political fortunes of one party at the
expense ofthe other party, while n per-
son not in the public service has the
right to be us strongly partisan us he
may please.
Does not our esteemed neighbor know
That Secretaries Manning and Whitney
were very decided pariisans, while out
of office, and that they are fair honest
public officers now they are in Office
who would not use their positions f0l
partisan purposes? We really wish We
could set our esteemed contemporary
right on this matter, for we dislike see
ing so generally intelligent a journa
make itself ridiculous through "offen-
sive craftsmanship on any subject.

AN UNFORTUNATE CONFLICT.

Father Mccartney, of St. Louis, has
announced that he will not administer
first communion 10 any Catholic child
vino attends Il public school. Natur-
ally. his position in the matter has
created a good deal OF excitement. The
T. .publican, whose editor is Il Roman
Catholic, says.-"The cause assigned
is, that there is no time given To re-
ligiOus instruction i'll the schools, but
permits arc issued by the superinten-
dent which enables pupils to attend
religious instructions elsewhere, for as
many hours in the day, and us many
days in the week as the parents of the
children may desire. Such L permit is
never refused, land such a permit isnever
given tor any other reason Whatever.
The effect has been TO fill the seats
of the parochial school in Father McCaf-
frey s parish, as indicated by the fact
that at the OFalIon public school the
enrolment at the opening OF this school
year was only $50, while at the opening
of the last school year it was 100"
The Republican also remarks:-"ln the
school board there are ut present SIX
and probably directors who are
Catholics; the former president of
the board was Il Catholic, and Catholic
teachers are to be found in nearly all
the schools" After stating the mum
Der OF Catholic teachers in the various
public schools OF the city the Itepubli-
can concludes :-"Thus in 40 OF tle
schools there are 12l Catholic teachers.
OF these, three are principals. The
number of Catholic children attending
the schools cannot be estimated, but it
is the opinion of those with whom the
reporter convcrscd that their proper
ton to the whole number enrolled was
IL very far one" Hence, it may be
seen, that the policy pursued by Father
Mccartney, it radically followed by the
clergy of his church there, generally,
would result, at least temporarily, in a
disruption of the public schools. There
is nothing that we know of which is
nearer and dearer to the American
heart than the public school system.
1t is, of course, not faullless, but any
attempt TO strike it down must fail.
