CATHOLIC DESIGNS.

The Rt. Rev. William Paret, Bishop
of Maryland, delivered a charge in Bal
timore on the 11th inst, to the Protest
ant Episcopal clergymen of the diocese.
He said: "This city is the central point
of Roman Catholicism in this country.
Here resides the highest prelate and here
is put forth its greatest effort 1t is
using political and social influence to
obtain the religious control of this Ma
ton. God forbid that should blame
the Catholics for any honest effort made
by them toward this end. The issue,
however, is greater than ever before,
and they are now concentrating all their
hopes and plans in this land. We must
meet their advance with loving assur-
ance. Three-fourths of them were born
in Europe and nearly all of the remain
der are children of foreign-born parents.
The foreign spirit in the church is re-
markably powerful. Their members be-
come Americanized very slowly and are
not being assimilated rapidly. Our
rights as citizens and churchmen are
menaced by this power. The laws of
naturalization are abused and an immi-
grant often becomes voter before he
has caught our tongue. We have been
neglected in not calling the attention of
our parishioners to theIencroachment of
the Roman Catholic Church. do not
advise you to preach course of ser
mons attacking their doctrines, but
when any movement is made by them
detrimental to our political or social in
stitutions, do not be silent, but speak
out boldly and clear on the subject.
Parochial schools should be increased,
so that the school life of the young in
our churches may not be neglected. OF
course you know do not antagonize
the public schools"

THE farmers who have been waiting
all winter for the roads to freeze up so
that they could do their hauling are
likely to be disappointed by the renewal
of soft weather. The need of improved
country roads was never more apparent
than this season.

ator Ingalls, mail has been full of threat

the high estimation in which he is held
down in Dixie.

DEMOCRACY'S INDIeoCONSCIENCE
New York Press.
Those Democrats in Washington who
don't enjoy the pressure of Speaker Reeds
heel have decided that the only proper
thing for a forsordained Democrat to do
under the circumstances is to be always
on hand at the proceedings of Congress.
If he absents himself he will merely give
the majority the whip hand.
Out in Montana the Democrats take
different view of the party obligations.
Their creed requires them TO block all
proceedings by getting beyond the State
limits, so that process can't be served.
In this way Senate quorum is impos-
sible.
The old lady who remarked that good
indigo would either sink OF swim, and
she didn't know which, would be pow
erful Judge to decide on the political
conscience of the Democratic party.

Mr.. BRICE's promise to fix up a Con-
gressional district for young Mr.. Thomas
as the price of old Mr.. Thomas silence is
likely to prove very poor investment
for the Thomas family. The district
may be fixed according to promise, so far
a as subselvient Democratic Legislature
can do the fixing, but Congress can unfix
it, and that is just what Congress is
likely to do.

THE MARKETS OF 1890.

StOckfan.
As far as the new year has gone it
shows rather mixed results as to changes
in markets as compared to prices ruling
in the latter part of last year. Averag
ing everything, through, there has been
a slight improvement in the returns of
the producer. The grain market has
not changed materially, though wheat
has shown a weakening tendency. In
live stock the trend has been the other
way. Hogs, sheep and good cattle are
all appreciably higher than in Decem-
Der, change which in neither hogs nor
cattle was anticipated with particular
confidence, though it has not been a
matter of surprise. Experienced OBJ
servers are not saying much about prob
abilities, and we never knew time
when more caution was exercised as to
expressions on this point.

HOW THEY LOVE SOLDIERS.

HOW THEY LON Il SOLDlEHS.
Among the infamous schemes being
concocted by the Democratic majority
in the General Assembly is one that Sc
riously affects the rights of the old SOL
diers who fought for the Union, and
have since, through the misfortunes of
life or from wounds received or disease
contracted while in the army, become a
charge upon the public. Under the act
of the Legislature establishing the Sol
diers' home at Sandusky, and by subse
quent acts the inmates of that home are
made legal residents and allowed to vote
in the precinct in which it is located.
That this simple act of justice should
be extended to class of men who he
roically joined in the war for the preser-
walton of the Union was never ques-
toned until the Democratic party came
into power. 1t is now proposed to dis
franchise these brave defenders of the
country by the passage of bill provid-
ing that for all inmates of the home
their legal residence shall be in the
county and voting precinct from which
they were admitted to the institution.
There is no doubt but that the majority
side favor the passage of this Infamous
piece of legislation, knowing full well
that the INDECENT soldiers who are in
mates of the Home could not find means
to travel annually to the place where
they resided before being admitted, but
they fear the wrath of the people, and
this is all that will prevent its passage.

THE VICTORY IN SALTLAKE.

THE VICTORY IN SALTLAKE,
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The Liberal, or ''Gentile," party have
scored a asignificant victory over the Nor
mons, or Peoples party, in their struggle
for the control of the Municipal Govern
ment of Salt Lake City. When it is re-
membered that the political organization
known as the Mormon Church has been
in possession of the executive offices for
more than generation, and that it has
been one of the most persistent and un-
scrupulOuS cabalS ever organized, the
nature and extent of the victory is not
likely to be overeStimated. 1t means
the final overthrow of Mormonism in
Utah Territory. Stripped of its political
power, the Mormon Church will soon be-
come disorganized and decaying insti-
tuition
The Liberal, or Gentle, party is COM
posed for the most part of Republicans,
while the Peoples party so called, is
made up largely of Democrats. The
real contest, however, was Mormon and
anti-Mormon. In 1870 the vote for Del
egate in Congress in Utah was 21 $50
for the Mormon candidate and l 1869 for
the Gentle nominee. There has been
steady gain in the Liberal vote since
then, In 1888 it was 10000 Mormon to
3,484 anti Mormon. In 1889 the vote
stood $4,000 to $500. At the Territorial
election last year the Liberals had a
small majority in Salt Lake City. Their
cause has been greatly helped by the
operations of the Edmunds- Tucker act,
and when the registry for the present
election was completed they felt assur-
ed of victory. The breaking of the
power of the Mormon hierarchy is
triumph for good citizenship and orderly
government, and will contribute largely
to the future of the Territory.
