According To the records Of the cen.
Su> office itself the estimates given
above for the wears 1880 and 1850 coy,
cred only Il portion ot the same classes
of property included in the CcnSrScS of
1870. lSSo and 1880. Many classes OF
property indeed were not estimated
1T all in the earlier years. including
all property belonging to the United
States and all real estate and person
atty exempt from taxation Every
thing in the then uuorganizrd terri
tories waS also left out of the 1880 and
1850 cenSuSrS. Fred &. Waite. special
census agent, has since demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all StatiSticianS.
including even Mr.. Porter, that The
try in 1850 could not have been less
than $4,000, 100000. excluding slave
values. TO compare. therefore, the
census figures of 1880 or 1Sm with
those of late years would of course
give Il grossly exaggerated amount us
the increase of wealth in the country.
1t was unreliable data of this kind that
protCctioniStS needed to make 1t ap-
pear that their policy of taxing con
sumcrS for the benefit of the rich was
Il good thing for the country
In his letter accepting the preSi-
dental nomination in 1854 Mr.. Blaine
quoted the figures of 1860 and com
pared them with those of 1850. They
appear in his Twenty Years of Con-
grcSS and in his controversy with Glad
stone in the North American Review.
Mckinley. Harrison and Reed have al
so repeatedly used them in their
speeches and writings.
But deception in respect Ia the AZ.
grcgate increase of wealth in the cnull-
try is a trivial affair beside the at
tempt to prove" by figures that wages
have increased during the "protrctiyc"
period. senator Cullom in opening the
present republican campaign was Il
victim of statistics which would not
bear analysis. He asserted in his Rob
inSOn speech that wages had increased
over 4 per cent. during the ten years
from 1850 To 1870. II didn't matter
what the wagcworkcrS themselves
knew or said about it, 1t WAS enough
for him To know that Porter'S bulletins
showed that such an advance had
taken place.
Now. ii happens that in the 1880 cen

No one believes that the number of
men engaged in til" five occupations
265 per cent While the rountry's popu.
latiCn increased only - per cent. dur
ing the same period. The table. upon
its face shows that the census Of 1SNI
was more thorough than that of 1850
in the matter of recording trades. Fit
figures of the two periods are not com

self has recently admitted in a pub.
liShpd letter that such comparisons
should not hr made. =.
But this is not all There are other
devices by which protection" may be
shown as Il raiser of wages.
For example, the census takers Of
1850 omitted most Of the clerks and
higher paid officials OF the establish.
ments which they covered in making
up the wage scale. In 1890, however
not only were the clerks and high.
salaried men included. but an estimate
placed on the service Of the employers
and all made to swell the average
Of wages paid"
This is how Superintendent Porter
proved" that wages had increased 80
per cent, during these ten years. II
is upon such . basis that Cullom builds
his campaign assertion that the repub
lican party has leglslated into wage
earners' pockets an advance Of over
II per cent during the same time.

D1srR1cr ATTORNEY FELLOWS, Of New
York, seems to have proper apprecia-
ton Of the work accomplished by Cath
Ole schools. In a recent address he
warmly commended them and wished
them success. Talking of the saving to
the taxpayers because of the existence OF
Catholic schools he said: There are
5000 children today in New York city
who cannot find room in the public
schools. IT the $4,000 Catholic children
who attend parochial schools we're to
demand their rights, too, q wall would go
up from "Reminiscences everywhere" Yes,

country if Catholic schools were shut up
and the pupils sought admission to the
public schools. New schools would have
TO be erected and teachers would have to
be hired to instruct the Catholic chill

The Republican press OF the country
has wasted much valuable space in cri-

Tammanny, for going to Europe while
the Lexow committee is in session. That

New York city. 1t did not sum mon Mr..
Croker to appear before it, and he had
no reason to suppose that it would sum-

one would think that MI. Croker was at
liberty to 20 to Europe or anywhere else
with his family; but as he is an ex-

The Paris Funds.

1t is said that there is every prospect
that at an early date the Paris funds will
be liberated. The terms of an agree

representatives Of the two sections of the
Irish party, and only some legal formali-
ties remain to be carried through. These
will be completed at an early date, and
then the fund will be available for pur-
poses for which it is much needed. It
amounts to between 940,O00 and ESQ, OOO.

SAYS the Boston Pilot: An A. P. A.
orator, called Sims, recently stated that
Gen. Sheridan, when dying, refused to
receive the last sacramento of the
Church. If Sims had taken the trouble
to communicate with his British-Amer-
lean friends in Boston he would know
that, at the time when the great soldier
of the Union lay dying, they were hold
ing convention in Faneuil Hall and
Kissed his name because he was an
Irish.American and a Catholic. That
fact should be enough to convince him
and all devout Apaists, that Sheridan
died as he lived, a sincere Catholic. and
patriotic American for whom no loyal
Orangeman could have any possible re-
spect.

Says the Colorado Catholic: Organiza-
ton, active and aggressive, is needed to
combat the bitter and relentless fight
which the A. ?. A. is preparing to wage
next fall. Politics must be put outside
the discussion, and principle, and prin.
ciple alone, considered. Liberty of con-
science and freedom of worship are at
stake. Americauism is in the balance.
The people must decide between Amer.
canism as taught and practiced by Wash
ington, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln,
and Orangeism alias A. P. Aism., as pro.
pounded and exported from the Canadian
Orange lodges. We prefer the Stars and
Stripes to the gaudy orange of William

The Tories and Liberal Cnionists
made an attempt in tine House OF Com
mons on Wednesday to reduce the salary
of Mr., John Morley as Chief Secretary
for Ireland. Arnold Forster, son OF
.Buckshot" Forster, introduced the mo-
ton. but it was voted down arid loud
nationalistic cheers by majority of 80.
The Irish members of both sections ad-
miro John Morley, and stood by him to
q man. The handsome majority OF 80
votes is an indication that the Rosebery
ministry is strong enough to remain in
Office until things are in proper shape to

ANOTHER rumor was set atloat during
the week to the effect that Archbishop
Ireland had been created cardinal.
The rumor became current from the fact
that the Archbishop had visited New

Europe last Wednesday. There is no

JUDGE WILLIAM LocHREN, the pen.
sion commissioner, has saved to the gov
eminent during the fiscal year, ending
June 80, the large sum of $25,000,000.
The st. Paul Globe explains how he did
it as follows: Under the "God help the
surplus policy, initiated by Tanner and
continued by Raum and Republicanisrn,
the pension bill had grown by leaps and
bounds until the country became
alarmed. When Raum submitted an
estimate for this year of $4,000, 600,
Harrison. in alarm, insisted that it be
reduced to 100000, 600, which was done
on promise that congress would make
good the deficit. But the elections came,
and Raum went out and Lochren came
in, and, despite the shrleks and lamenta-
tions of the professional old soldier and
Republican papers ravenous for party
capital. the commissioner went quietly
to work eliminating the frauds, enforc'
ing: economies, retrenching expenses;
and instead of the deficit Raum intended
of. S15,O OO, 600, to be made good by de-
fciency bill, there is an unused balance
of $25,000,O00 to be covered int, the
treasury, and an estimate of $40, 100000
for the coming year, difference OF

tons. Mr.. Lochren has earned his sal

How the Good People of the Town Gather
to Recite the Rosary.
The following charming sketch is writ
ten by Magdalene Rock in the Rosary
Magazine:
II is an October evening in an Irish
country parish. There is long, gold,
billowy sweep Of sky in the west, where
the sun has gone down., and the fields
are brown and bare. In the snug bag
CARDS that surround the farmhouses
their produce has been gathered. and
now there is nothing to be done but to
dig out the potatoes before "the coming
November rains" as l.. @. Irving sings.
In the dim light one can see the women
and girls leaving the scenes of their Ia
bors, and hurrying homeward ito make

ary."
Leaves Of russell and red and gold are
drifting from the trees with each chill
blast, the wind pipes loudly amid the
vocal reeds, and as the bell OF the little
church proclaims that it is $50 o'clock,
groups Of people begin to appear from
deep boreens and meadow ways. There
is moon almost at the full in the
east, and the number of people il ins
creased by that circumstance, for the old

wheher he was not glad to see the green

to the aid of the beleagured Union
forces. No matter on what battlefield,
no matter in what arena, in public or

willing to take our lot and part with
you. We are American citizens. This
is our country. We helped to maintain
it and, God willing, we shall always help
to maintain it; and if every man in this
country, in this organization, or any
other organization will go as far as we
will in defense of its institutions you
will never have any union of Church
and State, and destruction will never
come upon this, the greatest and the
