THE proposed dlsestablishment of the

to work against Gladstone and his

is unfortunate that this issue was raised
before the Home Rule question was

ARCHBISHOP. IRELAND is being torn
to pieces, so to speak, by certain South
ern newspapers for his recent utter
ances on the colored people. The arch
bishop did nothing but what every up
right, honest, God-fearing man would
do, and it is a source of much satlsfac-
ton to know who is to blame for so
much trouble down South The
white men are to, blame and no one else.
Treat the colored man as citizen and
a freeman, and he will do what is right.

WISCONSIN GERMAN CATHOLICS.

The Wisconsin German Catholics
held their convention in Milwaukee
during the week, and the Bennett law.
which has created such cOmmotion in
religious circles throughout the coun-
try, was one OF tie chief subjects under
discussion. This law has some good
points about it, but unfortunately the
bad ones outnumber the good, The
friends of the law are doing all they can
to send the impression abroad that the
Catholics Of Wisconsin are opposed to
educating their children in the English
language. These people speak of it a
'Compu1sory English Educational
Law" and naturally enough those who
have not read it, believe that it is moth
ing more than a law which has for it's
only object the teaching Of the English
language in the schools, be they public
or private. This we say is the genera;
opinion entertained of the Bennett law.
If the law were what the majority peo-
pie suppose it is, there would be no OPP
position to it from the Wisconsin Cath.
olics. So far as the clause pertaining to
the teaching Of English is concerned,
there cannot be any fault found with it,
for we have it from no less an author
ity than Bishop Katzer of Green Bay
that English is now taught in all che
schools. The bishop in his address to
the convention trutLfullY said that the
law practically denied the right of the
child to obey it's parents by putting its
claims before those of the parents 1.-The
friends of the law tell us, he said "that
the Child has rights which the state
must see is accordedit. But the parents
have more interestin the child than the
state.n ''The matter Of teach
ing English thew tell us is what we are
fighting. But this is not so. English
is now taught in our schools. But If
the state has right to tell us we must
teach English it will soon be telling US
what we shall eat and what shall go on
the table for the family dinner. These
laws attempt to interfere with personal
and parental rights, and, carried out to
their logical conclusion. would be very
dangerous to the Church and to society.
This Bennett law, was conceived in the
minds of free thinkers and those op-
posed to the Catholic Church and her
schools The Catholics of Wisconsin
deny the right of the state to interfere
with private schools, be they Catholic
or Protestant schools. In this they are
right. 1.-THE state contributed anything
to the support of these schools the CUES
ton would be different. But all honest
and fair minded people must confess
that the state has no more right to dc
tate to private schools, than it has to
say what religion the people of the state
shall practise. AS we said some time
ago wher discussing the Objectionable
features of the Bennett law, let the
state eleminate these repugnant clauses
and all will be well. There is no objec-
ton to teaching English in the schools.
Much interest has been manifested by
the people Of Wisconsin, irrespective Of
or politics, over this convention
and the large number of prominent peo-
ple interested in it, and we hope that
the result will be something to be re-
the enemies Of freedom in
Wisconsin for some time to come.

find their origin alone in the
principles aud doctrines of republi-
canism. A democratic newspaper is the
reverse of all this. An organ, on the
cont airy, with political proclivities of
either character, is ESSENTIALLY the
same in IFS general features, and is,
in all cases, the mere mouth piece of
lot of bummers and camp followers,
the spokesman of a gang of human
buzzards, who, having no visible
means of support, and lacking the
energy and industry Of men, f:s en-
their d~lectable claws and beaks in
the body polite, AID subsist upon
the plunde of the people.
A newspaper, clothed in its proper
garb, true to its noble IN ssion
spreads before its readers in each sue
cessive issue, the thoughts that it con-
ceives will tend to enlighten, elevate
and strengthen the people, that will
prepare them for the better mainte-
nance ofthe rights, aud performance
of the duties that pertain to citizen
ship in the republic. An organ, true
to its nefarious work, attempts to f.
its readers with prejudices, darken
their minds with bigotry, blight
their intelligence with superstition
and ignorance, AMI s, to lead them to
the support of the ring CT bazzards,
who, in their turn, keep the organ
CREASED and moving. 1t is consoiing
to know that the age has gone by
wherein organs can flourish 10 any
alarming extent. And the fact that
but few of these birds of i'll omen ex-
list to day, is one of the best sigus of
the political purity of the future.

The Kansas City Star says every
man in Sedalia who owns lot thinks
there is prospect for fancy price
for it, within close view. While Sc.
dalia people generally realize that this
fair city is progressing in degree the
most encouraging, there is DO such
feeling among property owners as the
item referred to would indicate.
Really is much more valuable here
than a year ago and the reasonable
probabilities are that it will increase
in price, but there will be no suicidal
policy inaugurated, such as killed the
city by the "Kaw" few years since.
The present growth and success that
Sedalia is realizing, is a legitimate one
and as such her citizens appreciate it.
