Small Alliance Meetings.

There is wailing and gnashing of
teeth among alliance leaders. The
past week has been mapped ont as the
opening of the campaign and meetings
were advertised for every night in
various school houses. To the disgust
of the speakers and candidates the
attendance has been so miserably small
that the meetings have been practically
failures. The people positively will
not turn out to hear calamity doctrine
and fiat money theories. The officers
of the county alliance try to keep a
courageous spirit and say that ''the
farmers are too busy now but two or
three weeks before election they will
come out" 1t is now less than three
weeks to election and still the farmers
don't come. Last year, though the
biggest area of wheat ever sown in this
county was put in in this month. the
alliances had no difficulty in getting
crowds. They dislike to admit it but
the enthusiasm is at a very low ebb.
The critters eyes is sot" and there is
no hope of the animal recovering.
Dickinson county has had enough of
reputation, defamation and calamity.

even its remarkably successful record
of the past three years.

parish schools: Regret for the necessity
was coupled with the declaration that the
spirit of the parish school is widespread
among American Protestants, and is
made manifest by their determined oppo-
sition to the exclusion of Scripture read
ing and other devotional exercises from
the sehool-room. TIE Archbishop pro-
tested against the charge that the schools
OF the nation have their enemies among
Catholics. The Catholics are loyal to the
country, and demand the Christian State
school.
Bishop Foley, in an address delivered
in Detroit, spoke as follows: when 1
vote vote as John Foley, an American
| citizen, and / would vote for a Protestant
candidate against Catholic if the former
was better fitted for the place than the
latter.''
In lecture on "Christian Patriotism"
for the students of Notre Dame Univer-

said: federation is the watchword of
American citizens-Catholic and nom
Catholic. Catholics believe in the motto ::
Union in essentials, tolerance in non
essentials, charity to ALL Catholics are
not opposed to State schools. but to un-
christian State schools" The Bishop
told all the students to be politicians, to
vote from their convictions, and to knock
| any man down who would attemptt to buy
vote.

Another Correspondent Replies to Mrs.
Z. z. ID.
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: In your edition
of March 9th appeared an article from
Mrs. E. P. d. The lady advances many
forcible and cogent reasons why women
are as well situated, if not better, without
woman suffrage, and ! am sure her ex-
pressions regarding the dignity and in
tluence of women in the domestic circle
will meet with the approval of the ma
jority of her sex.
At the same time, many will differ with
the position she assumes the Catholic
Church would take in the matter of in
tiuencing the female voters, if the church
wished to elect certain man, to pass any
measure, or, what it has often been ac-
cused of-destroy the public school sys-
tenn.
Mrs. Z. P. D. also assumes ''there would
be, no doubt, thousands of Protestan.
women who would never care to exercise
the privilege. But should the Catholics
wish to elect some man, or put through
some measure for their own interest
then would the Catholic women vote
solid, just as the priest would direct"
have yet to learn, and with me thousands
of others, that the Catholic women arc
not just as modest, intelligent, and inde-
pendent in thoughts and actions as any
others of their sex.
Many times have the Bishops and
priests spoken and with no uncertain
sound on these questions, and with your
permission Twill give some extracts from
the public utteranceS during the past
year of such Catholic dignitaries as Car
dinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ireland.
Bishop keane of the Catholic University
at Washington, and Bishop Foley of De-
troit. The opinions of such men are at
the least to be respected.
In his lenten sermon, preached in the
Cathedral at Baltimore. on March 1st, only
ten days past, Cardinal Gibbons said
christian wives and mothers, you are
the queens of the domestic Kingdoms. Ii
You would retain that empire shun the
political arena, avoid the rostrum, beware
of unsexing yourselves. If you become
embroiled in political agitation the
queenly aureola that encircles your brow
will fade away and the reverence that is
paid to you viii disappear. Ii you have
the vain ambition of reigning in public
life your domestic empire will be at an
end.,
On the 22d of last September the Car
dinal said: We have no disposition to in
terfere with public schools, as they are a
State institution, chartered and supported
by the State. We want one
that viii develop the whole man, his
moral and religious faculties as well as
his intellectual gifts. Public
schools are good, but we desire to add TO
their advantages what we conceive to be
a vital necessity

Some shameful Developments in an
Ejectment Suit.
a revolving case of extreme poverty and
depravity was brought to the notice of
Constable Brissel yesterday.
he was ordered by the Justice Court to
eject Mrs. Crosby from shanty in the
alley running from Thirteenth to Four
teenth, between X and L streets, for non
payment of rent. The woman has occu-
pied the place for some time, but the owner
of the property did not have the heart to
put her out. But the woman is said to
have become so notorious and such q
nuisance in the ncighborhood that the
owner finally decided to eject her. Con-
stable Erissel says he found the woman
in a drunken stupor, and her three little
children crying FOR food. The house, he
says, has been the resort of tramps and
low characters, who keep the woman sup
piled with liquor.
