Indian Commissioner Morgan, who has
ever since he has beea Il, Office made a
Sight against the Roman Catholics engaged |
In educating the Indians, has now decided |
that no more contracts hhaIl be made With |
the Bureau Of Catholic Missions for con-
Quoting Indian schools. For years all |
contracts for Catholic schools on the In |
dian reservations have bsen made with |
this bureau Of Missions, the headquarters
Of which are In this city, and this entire |
severance of relations is regarded rs the |
direct result, Of religious bigo,ry and pref
udiee, the possession OF which show that
Mr Morgan Is entirely untitled for the ie.
sponsIbie position he holds. wha, makes
the thing seem so very unfair Ia tha; con.
tracts arc being made,as usual, with other
denominations for the conducting OF In
dian schools. II Is not for q moment To be
supposed that Mr Morgan made such an
important decision without the consent
AMI support OF Secretary Noble ard Mr
Harrison. who ara the proper parties to
hold responsible for this most remarkable
case Of religious prescription.
Ex-eongressman Kerr, OF Pennsy ylsania.
10 whom more than any other one man Is
due the credit for the democratic victory
Ia that state las, ,esr, was In town several
,lays ago consulting the officials Of the |
National Association ot damoeratls clubs, |
and lac brought news that warned The !
cookies OF democratic hearts. Mr. Kerr IL |
no rainbow chaser as his friends very |
seii know. therefore when he saws he |
thinks that Penns, lyaRIa Is low doablfui |
state. with the odds decidedly In favor OF |
the democrats II means something. lie |
says that the financial erookednesk ot the |
Delamatefs and the more recent bank |
wreck.ng IN Philadelphia, has aroused the
petple as they were never aroused before |
agaIns, the methods originated by Quay
when he was treasurer oi the state and be- |
sides this. the new ballot law will be |
worth a least 10000 votes to the demo
cratic party, because Il viii enable 1t to
prevent the republicans voting the dead
men who havt made up large pauoi
their maiorIty for years.
li spite of fepubIlcsn attempts to create |
hard feelings and antagouism. between
the candidates for speaker of the next
house, the bes, feeling exis,s between the |
gentlemen. Messrs,crisp and MeAiIliIn are |
both stopping at the same hotel, aud 10 see |
them together no one could suppose that
they were In any sense rivals. ar Mills |
is also here and all three OF them are con-
stantly meeting In the most social man
nsr. Ii Ia nonsense pure and simple TO |
say that any man has at this time GER
taIn,y Of being elected speaker, as more
than majeflty ot the democrats OF the
next Eosisc are slIll unpledged.
II Is stated positively by republicans that
Senator Quay VIII retire from the chair
msnship Of the republican national COM
mittee At the meeting OF the execRlve
commlttee which has been called for the |
s9tIs inst, Ia Philadelphia, but that he will |
continue to be member OF the committee.
His retirement will please great many
republicans.
Representative Grain, OF Texas, passed
through Washington last week on his
way TO New York on business. He said |
he had nothing to say politically until he
got through with his business, but that |
when he returned TO Washington, which
would be soon. he might have some pol
itical opinions TO express. lie has shaved
of his mustache and many OF his friends
did not at hrst glance recognize him.

II Is believed thar something important
In financial way Is up in administration cir
cies, as Mr. Harrison telegraphed for Sec

just after he had long conference with
Senator Allison, chairman OF the senate
