 A Roman Catholic priest at Toledo, Ohio, who refused to obey the law requiring re- ports to be made to State authorities in re- gard to attendance upon and instruction at the church schools, has just had his case passed on adversely by the State Supreme court. The action of the priest has been arousing much religious feeling in Ohio, and led to the forming of many secret or ganizations among Protestants to carry the matter to the polls. These orders will probably disband now, unless the Catholics refuse to acquiesce in the decision of the court.
 Dr. T. M. Prudden, of New York city, forcibly says: If the vile and increasing practice of well-nigh indiscriminate spit ting goes on unchecked in nearly all assem- bling places and public conveyances; if the misguided women who trail their skirts through the unspeakable and infectious filth of the street are to be admitted un- cleanssd into houses and churches and theaters; if theaters and court rooms and schoolhouses and cars are to remain the filthy lurking places of contagia which their i'll ventilation and their mostly ignor- ant and careless so-called cleaning neces- sarily entail; if in sleeping cars and hotel bedrooms the we'll are to follow consump- tives in their occupancy without warning, or even the poor show of official distinc- tion; if in ill-ventilated and ill-cared-for dwellings the we'll must breathe agaln and again the dust-borne seeds of tuberculosis; if no persistent warning is to be given to the ignorant of the dangers which Turk in uncleanliness-then our task will be most complex as we'll as difficult in limiting the contagiousness of tuberculosis.

THE BEST POLICY.
 Ike Hartford Post is pleased to take 8 somewhat distorted view of our remarks concerning the justice and wisdom of re- nominating General Merwin. We will not stop to quibble about words, or to make any Unpleasant insinuations." It isn't necessary. But we will further re- mark that the situation is an unmistakably plain one, so plain that there is no occasion for err ing in regard to it. The Republican party chose General Msrwin as it's candidate two years ago. He justified the wisdom of the choice by getting enough votes to en- title him to be declared elected, and by run ming about 400 votes ahead of the rest of the ticket. He has been kept out of the office which belonged to him, and the Republicans have been mak- ing persistent and elaborate fight for his and their rights. They have not ob- tained them, and the case cannot now be decided except by the people at the next election. Should 1t be abandoned, or should it be fought to the enda Can it be abandoned without in effect confessing that the Republicans have been playing political tricks and that they have not been wholly in earnest in their attitude? General Merwin has real "claim" upon the party because it has used him and should not now desert and abuse him. Political consistency and common honesty also have 'claims" upon the party. We do not wish to be understood as Gin sinuating" that all these "claims" are gen. erally unrecognized by the party. Indeed, we believe just the contrary to be the case. And perhaps the Posts blindness will not be lasting.
 If we understand the Post, General Merwin has not been aggressive enough to suit it during the long and heated contro- versy over the State offices. We do not see what more he could properly or wisely have done. This is State of steady hab- it's. The case has been in the hands of competent lawyers, and though there may be room for difference of opinion concern ing what they should have done, they have certainly done the best they could. Gen. eral Merwin would not have helped mat ters by placing himself at the head of brass band and a regiment of Republican soldiers and marching upon the Democratic senate. He has been singularly discreet in very trying posi- tion. Not one undignifed or improper ut terance or action can be charged to him. By and by, when the heat and the bitter ness of the contest are over, his attitude during it will be pointed to as Q shining example of self-control, good judgment and strong common sense. He is stronger to-day in popular approval than he would be if he had been aggressive" and more eager for his rights than for the preserva- tion of law and order. Both he and Judge Morris have conducted themselves like the honest men and good citizens they are.
