s. No ls.islature will venture.to enact
q good system of local taxation until the
people, especially the farmers, perceive
the correct principle Of taxation and see
the folly of taxing personal property.

Prof. Folwell forwarded the following
letter in relation thereto:
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Sept. %, 1891.
Ny DEAR S1R:-Yours of the I'D inst,
addressed to President Northrop has been
handed to me by him. I am in hearty
sympathy with the conclusion of the
platform, and should be pleased to re-
ceive any literature you may be distrib-
uting.
No one can object to plank No. as an
abstract statement, nor can the least
fault be found with plank 4. Az to
plank S, should despair Of any reform
in Taxation if we had to wait the en|ight-
enment of the farmers as to the princi-
pies of taxation. To No. 3, should
agree with the proviso, ''In ordinary
times of peace" Whoever works out
systems of taxation must have in mind
that war is likely to break out and disar
range all his schemes.
Mortgages I would tax if 7 could tax
them, and have hopes of the California
plan being worked out in profitable
way. wish good success to all efforts
to throw daylight on the dark subject of
taxation. Yours Very Truly,

Scotch landowners are now in positioa
where they can eympathize with their
brethren, the Irish landlords, as the
Land Court is making reductions right
and left in the rentals of all the estates
brought before it for adjudication.
There is little reason for suspecting the
court of partiality in this matter, but
more for concluding that there are hosry
injustices in the evaction of excessive
rent which legal machinery was needed
to set right. 1t is doubtless good
thing that this machinery has been pro-
vided, though tardily. Yes; and it is to
be hoped that once set in motion it will
continue to move.

CARL Nor need We forbSd ,it 40 q sion 81

garb. Nor need We forbid III 40 q signof,
their church. It Il, Tor,
tteaoher to tell her religion 81 Kes,r' dress
than to tell it by words, and that is what
we allow to all, whether Catholics or
Protestants. That dress is no violation
OF public school principles, and am not
sure but few Of them might be Of
service to teach pupils, what not all of
their parents have learned-that Catho-
lies have rights in this country and in it's
educational system.
Gan editorial in one Of our papers says
those teachers ought to be compelled to
strip off their paraphernalia and appear
as other teachers do But other teachers
are allowed to wear what paraphernalia
they will land when the very principle
of our publ, schools is that they are not
to interfere with freedom of con.
science, we have no right to compel teach,
ers to abandon q dress which is with
them matter of conscience. The real
and grave objection to the movement is
not in the dress, but in the fact that
these sisters are probably more devout
to their own church than they are to the
schools. But probably some Protestant
teachers are too, but with all brought
under the eye of superintendent, this
danger ought to be checked. It 50
checked, these sisters might do as faith
full work in teaching as they do in their
other secular fields of charity.
"The other objections to the move
ment seem to me rather weak. An edi-
torial says, The Conry system :hae been
damned by the prelates' of the, Catholic
church-but that is an added reason why
Professionals should not damn it, but
should stand by the Catholics who are
trying to get our schools united. Besides
Saltwater clergyman thinks that Arch
bishop ireland, instead of damning the
movement, is at the bottom Of it. Which
shall we believe? A mnch emphasized
objection is that the movement has in it
a little compromise. Butsociety is based
on compromis, and a public system which
recognizes the rights of all must admit
it. If Catholics compose large part Of
the immunity, they ought to be allowed
part of the teachers,-and if they give
up their religious exercises, apd their
text books and course Of study, Protest
ants ought to be willing to let part of
them wear what clothes they wish.
This may not make perfect system,
but perfection is not expected in this
world, and the question is not whether
it is an Improvement. And, considering
that it brings into our school system go
large an element that had opposed or
imperiled it, uniting Professionals and
Catholics, even though imperfectly, IN the
same education for common 'citizen~
ship and closer sympathy in one nation,
it certainly is an improvement, and
ought to be encouraged. The motives
may have been more than what appears,
though, in the midet of the mourning
for Cardinal Manning, and of the uni
versal recognition of his lofty aims and
integrity, let us not say too much about
Catholic insincerity in high places. But
whatever the motives, the movement it,
self is good. e.

Rev. Father Herman, J. McGrath, A.

w. J. McCabe.
The report of the treasurer Of the Sa-
cred Heart church for the year ending
jap. ], 1892, was presented to the pastor,
Rev. Father Herman at the late services
Sunday morning last. 1t shows the
financial condition OF the church to be
in very hourishiug condition. The
plate collection amounted to 1900 last
year and the revenue from pew rent to
$3.50 SO. The congregation has vastly
increased in numbers during the past
year. The plate collection on Christmas
day for the Seminary Fund amounting
to 1914, was the largest contributed by
any church in the state of Wisconsin.

Hudson, Wis.
Special to The Irish Standard.
The entertainment and banquet given
at the City Hotel, Hudson, under the
auspices of the A. 0. e., last Tuesday
evening, proved very enjoyable affair.
Mine Host Foley and his worthy wife
furnished an excellent repast, after which
number of the members were called
upon for addresses and responded. The
Hudson division, organized but short
time ago, has made rapid strides in point
of growth and is already among the best
divisions our state can boast off, Many
of the New Richmond members were
also present and assisted in no small
manner to make their first entertainment
agreeable and pleasant to all. The two
divisions will undoubtedly join hands
for the purpose Of enlarging on their
first efort-the second to be given on
the evening of St. Pataick's day in Hud-
son at some prominent hall, and there
can be no doubt but that an excellent
treat is in store for all who may attend.
Not only has Hudson and New Rich
mond good divisions of the A. O. H.,
but it is more than likely that HAM
mond, Warren, Erin and other towns in
St. Croix county will soon follow in
their footsteps.

Protestant readers and histories, and
study what Professionals have ordained,
SO great is their concession, while
Protestants have made none, except to
keep a few Catholic teachers, and allow
them to dress as they wish.
"And what are the demerits of the new
movement? The chief one, alleged on
all sides, is that of the dress. But the
dress in itself makes but little difference.
TO Catholic pupils it makes none, for
they are used to it. And on Protestant
pupils it is doubtful whether so plain a
garb would have any fascinating power to
disturb their studies or corrupt their
morals, or even change their religion.
Considering that we would allow a
Quaker teacher to wear her peculiar
dress, and allow ell other teachers to
wear what they wish, and allow SO many

Mr.. Cleveland is unfortunately
to-day the representative of a
minority faction of his party in a
pivotal state. That faction is so
small in comparison to the whole
democracy of the commonwealth
as to be hardly worthy of being
dignihed with recognition as a
faction. The great body of the
democracy of that state is opposed
to his denomination. 1t has
another candidate with whom it
knows it can carry the state. 1t
recognizes the weakness of the
ex-president in a state whose
electoral vote the party must OBJ
tain Or lose the battle in the nation,
better than it is possible for
democrats in other states to do, and
for that reason its insistence that
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
will be fatal to party success merits
tie consideration which the most
serious consequences would
suggest.-MaalsoN Democrat.

PROJECTION, PATRIOTISM

Aside from the fact of its
material benefits, the higher wages
and greater prosperity which it
always brings, Protection deserves
the support of American citizens
because it is pre-eminently an
American policy. The great
statesmen of our country, irrespec-
tive of party, Jefferson as we'll as
Washington and Hamilton, Jack
son as we'll as Clay and Webster,
have all believed in Protection, not
only because as wise men they
saw the need of it, but also
because it emphasized and exalted
that true American spirit of which
all were equally enthusiastic
opponents.
Free Trade has nothing to offer
us but what is foreign. 1t wishes
us to buy foreign goods and
import them in foreign ships. 1t
holds out to us the prospect OF
foreign markets, and thinks no
trade good but foreign trade. The
very idea is foreign, imported from
Great Britain, and its foothold has
been secured in this country
largely through the employment
Of foreign enissaries.
Protection thinks that so far as
markets, laborers, industries, pro-
ducts, ships, trade are concerned,

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

Women vote in British Column
bia. If unmarried, in Ontario for
all elected officers but two. They
vote in the cities of Quebec and
Montreal. All women vote for
every office in Wyoming on the
same terms as men. In Kansas
municipal suffrage exists; in Texas
school officers are chosen by
petitions to the county judge and
women sign these petitions, thus
voting without leaving home.
Thirty states have school suffrage.
In England, Scotland and Wales,
unless married, women vote for all
officers except member Of parlia-
ment. In Ireland for poor law
guardians; in Sweden the same as
Britain. In Russia women who
are heads of households vote for
all elective officers on all local
questions. In Austria Hungary
they vote by proxy at all elections
including members Of provincial
and imperial parliament. In
Croatia and Dalmatia they vote at
local elections in person. In Italy
widows vote By proxy for mem
bers of parliament. In Finland
women vote for all elective officers
but one. In British Burmah
women taxpayers vote in the
rural tracts. In Madras and Bonn
bay presidencies they vote in all
municipalities. In all Russian
Asia, wherever Russian colony
settles. Woman have municipal
suffrage on the cape of Good
Hope; also in New Zealand,
Victoria, New South Wales,
Queensland and South Australia.
In the Isle of Man, Pitcairn Is
land and Iceland women have full
suffrage. Tasmania has NUM-
cipal suffrage. There are about
1000 islands belonging to the
different countries where women
vote.
Several towns and small cities
embraced municipal suffrage for
women in their charter. From
these facts we are indebted to the
phamphlet by Hamilton Wilcox
entitled "Freedom's Conquest"
If women devoted themselves to
suffrage work as universally as
they do to temperance work; if
they put themselves on record
before the world as desiring the
ballot, as bravely as they announce
their interest in the church and
desire to live up to its standards,
this imperfect record would be
rounded to completeness and
Woman's ability and influence
doubled. This ought ye to have
done and not left the others
undone.

in the words of an American poet,
There's no place like home" 1t
wishes it understood that Ameri-
can products are good enough for
the American people. 1t thinks
that the Free Traders claim that
American laborers are not skillful
enough to manufacture as we'll as
the half-starved laborers of Europe
is a sheer at the intelligence Of
American manhood.
And above all other things, it
emphasizes the fact that there is
an American standard of wages
and OF living, and that our
national life and the high grade of
our country's citizenship depend
on that standards perpetuation.
The impartial man, therefore, who
weighs both sides of the question,
cannot but conclude that Protec-
ton is the more patriotic policy,
