sECrAkIAN INDIAN SCHOOLS.
A Petition Against Appropriation Of
Public Money.
To the Editor Of the sentinsl.

To the Editor OF the sentinol.l
/ have just been asked to sign a
petition to our representative in
Congress asking him to vote against
the appropriation of public money
for the maintenance of sectarian
Indian schools.
This petition is being circulated by
the Junior Order OF. American Me
chanics, who are also distributing a
speech delivered in Congress on June
7th, 1894, by Hon. William S. Lin
ton, of Michigan, in which he sub
mits statistics showing that during
the last eight years these appropri-
ations have amounted to So, 1877
| 951 of which the Roman Catholics
have received $2,36G,416 or about
| two thirds.
Several Protestant denominations
| including Methodists, Presbyterians,
Episcopalians and congregational
| lists, have passed resolutions in their
| convention expressing the opinion
| that these appropriations are IN
constitutional and there fore refusing
to accept any part of them.
! Now, this is another result of
/ foreign immigration (for nearly all
| the foreigners who come to our
shores are CathOlics) and if we sue
coed in getting the tide of foreign i'm
| migration turned into the South
| then Catholicism will come with it, as
well as anarchism, socialism and all
| the other damnable isms, and in a
few years our fair land will be the
scene of upheavals, strikes and the
| like, which are even now shaking our
| government and causing statesmen
to tremble
History has taught us to fear
| Romanism! Yet the Pope is subtly
| exercising his authority in every
country In the world and in our own
| America his power is beginning to be
| felt in our political affairs and no one
can dispute it.
Still we continue to worry over the
| minor issues of party and politics
while the enemy is steadily advanc-
ing upon our grand institutions to
d. stroy them.
Truly this is q free country and
| our constitution gives every citizen
| the right to worship God according
| to the dictates of his own conscienoe,
| but 1t does not allow Romanist,
| Protestant or jew to exercise
| authority in the affairs OF State and
we should guard our liberty with a
| jealous zeal that will repulse every
| effort made in this directi and give
| our represent atives to understand
| that they are expected to do the
| same.
Down with Romanism, anarchism,
socialism and foreign immigration is
my motto. JOHN L. BEARD.

would be SO great that some strong
man from the West might lead both.
Indeed, two men from the West
might be the leading candidates if
the vote between Jarvis and Ransom
should be nearly equal. However,
this objection should be ohviated by
the action of the State Convention.
We think the insinuation that
Jarvis is Calculating upon himself
and Gen. Ransom both going back
to the Senate" is unkind Jarvis
has stated very explicitly that he
would be a candidate for Ransom g
place and that he would not be a
candidate for the unexpired term OF
Vance and we have sufficient conf
dence in him to believe that this de-
claration was made in good faith
and that he will abide by it to the
last extremity.

Mr.. Jones died leaving four small

the management of the farm and has
been very successful. She has paid
off the mortgage, built new and
comfortable two story residence and
besides has saved considerable
money. In the meantime her farm
has greatly increased In value. This

CANA, July 9.-It was the pleasure
of the writer on the 9th inst. to at
tend the celebration of the s1st
birthday of Mrs. Sallie James, who
lives some eight miles east of Cana
By eleven O'Clock a large crowd had
assembled at the home of the aged
lady. who lives on the same planta-
ton on which she was born 81 years
ago. 1mprovised seats having been
arranged under the bough of a large
oak in the yard the crowd came to-
gether and listened to one of Dr.
Stallings' best sermons. The dis
course was able and well suited to
the occasion, being given especially
for Mrs. James, who is not able to
attend preaching. This done, the
ladies began to make a great stir,
and soon we men folks began to
realize what was coming. 1t was
well. it was just dinner, and when we
were invited to draw near and got
peep at the table. and such a table,
we wondered no longer at the com
motion among the ladies, for the
table fairly groaned beneath the
weight of SO many good things.
The occasion must have been one
OF great pleasure to the aged lady,
who has fingered 50 long upon the
shores of time to see SO many of her
descendants, so many happy, young
lives gather round to show their love
and veneration for her. Mrs. James
is the mother of 10 children, At
grand children and 81 great grand
children, making IA besides sons
and daughters in-law and one STEP
son whose family consists of some 35
others. 1t is doubtful if there is such
another family in the State.
The long looked for rains have
come and corn and gardens are look
ing fine. Corn is about laid by.
Wheat threshing is in progress, and
the yield is not more than 40 per
cent. OF an average. E Frost, ESQ.,,
has had the best yiel so far, making
212 bushels to 25 bushels sowing.
We are having quite an epidemic of
