THE PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS.

The action of those who are asking for
free text books for the Roman Catholic
parochial schools is manifestly improper.
The free text books are intended for the
schools which are under the control of the
Board of Education and for no other If
the parochial schools can with propriety
ask for text books any private school in
the city can do the same thing, and on
practically the same grounds. The origin
ators and promoters of the parochial
schools choose to carry them on without
reference to the public school system.
They have therefore no valid claim to
share the benefits of that system. They
are opposed to it, and, as many of the peo-
pie of New Haven and other places where
the question has risen think, very unreas-
onably opposed to it. Of course every
body understands that the Roman Cath
olic church doesn't think much Of the pub.
lie school system of this country. 1t is
also pretty well understood that the peo-
pie as a whole do think well of it, and
they don't want any confusion of ideas
concerning it. Therefore, if there must
be parochial schools, why shouldn't those
who want them take all the care OF them

DO YOUR Duty T0.DAY.

Be sure and vote to-day. Vote early,
because voting early greatly assists the
workers at the polls. Vote for James D.
Dewell, because he is first-rate business
man, a public-spirited man, man who
knows what the city needs, and man who
is willing to give the city the benefit of his
ability and energy. Therefore he will
make good mayor. He did not seek the
nomination. 1t was thrust upon him, be-
cause the convention thought that if any
body it could select would win he was the
man. He ought to be elected. He ought
to be voted for regardless of politics, and
he will be to q greater or less extent.
Many of the voters of this city are not of
such hide-bound partisanship that they
feel it necessary to have either an ancient
or recent Democrat for mayor. What
they want is the man who, in their judg-
ment, will do the best for the city. Mr..
Dewell will get the votes of many such
men. In order that they may tell in the
result it will be wise for all those Repubi
cans who are in the habit of suiting theil
convenience about voting to be sure and
come out of their caves to-day. Every
vote counts, and Mr.. Dewell may be elect
ed or defeated by very few votes. Dc
your duty early in the morning and ther
have peace the rest of the day.

We do not suppose that ''the reading
public" is often intensely interested in
presidents messages, but in the message
sent to congress by President Harrison
yesterday there is much that is interest
ing.
The silver question is treated carefully,
and the president wisely remarks: Some
months of further trial will be necessary to
determine the permanent effect of the re-
cent legislation upon silver values, but it
is gratifying to know that the increased
circulation secured by the act has exerted
and will continue to exert a most beneficial
influence upon business and upon general
values.
Concerning the tariff bill the president
has views, and he is not backward in Civ
ing them. He says: There is neither wis
dom nor justice in the suggestion that the
subject of tariff revision shall be again
opened before this law has had fair
trial. 1t is quite true that every tariff
| schedule is subject to objections.
No bill was ever framed, 1 sup
pose, that in all of its rates and
classifcations had the full approval even of
a party caucus. Such legislation is always
and necessarily the product of compro-
misses as to details, and the present law is
no exception. But in it's general scope and
effect think it will justify the support of
those who believe that American legisla-
ton should conserve and defend American
trade and the wages of American work
men.
The President repeats, with added ur-
gency, his previous recommendations con-
oerning the development of American
steamship lines. He is outspoken in favor
of reciprocity. He recommends the es
tablishment of on American internationa
bank He would also like to see the bill
for the relief of the Supreme court passed
a national bankrupt law enacted, jus
copywright protection to foreign authors
something done to stop the killing ant
wounding on freight trains, and he favor
the use of the. telegraph by the Postof6c
department. Ha also stands up for al
effective federal election law. This par
of the message is especially well worth tn
attention of every American citizen.
: The message as a whole will make goo
impression

in the circuit court of the United
States at Topeka, on behalf of the
Black Bob bad of Shawnee In
dians and against the settlers who
squatted on the Black Bob reser-
vation in Johnson county and the
spectators who hold unapproved
deeds from the Indians The
bill alleges that the de eds OF
the spectators were obtained by
fraud and demands that they be
cancelled The bill prays that
the settlers be elected and that
they be held to account TO the In
dians for the rents and profits OF
the land for the last twenty years.
This suit involves about 80, 600
acres of the best lands in Johnson
county, which have been occupied
by squatters ever since the In
dians were driven of by Quantrell
and his men in 1862.
The settlers have absolutely no
title except the possession, which
they have been well satisfied to
enjoy without any liability to pay
taxes. Great excitement prevails
among the people on the reserva-

elected, losing the Improvements
