This memorial was written. The paper
fairly represents our deep and unalteraOle
opposltion to any and all appropriations
Of our city to any and all sectarian IN
stitutions. whether governed by ourselves
as a denomination Of Christians or 10y any
other religious denomination we tuIthel
ask your attention TO the fact thal since
our respective churches have 10 Ihaih-
tain their own denOmnational charllleS'
we cannot but feel it 70 be unjust that
they should be taxed TO aid In the sup.
port of the charitable INSTITUTIONS vi
other denominations
We do not. i'm any sense. oppose these
appropriations because the institutions
for which they are asked are controlled
by Roman Catholics.
This fact is made clear when you re-
member that our first appeal tor such
a course was made a year ago. Wneh
the Roman Catholics were not the only
ones who were receiving help from our
city But 50 far as has come before
the public since the Common Council de-
cided to discontinue all such appropria-
tons the only protest has come from
the Roman Catholics. The only insttu-
tons that now claim the right 10 be
fed from the public Treasury are two,
both wholly under the control OF the
Roman Catholics namely. st. Josepn's
Orphan Asylum, ANA the Little Sisters
Of the Poor.
We do not deny that a really charl-
table work is being done by these in
stitutious; but we ask you 10 remember
that the sectarian character OF an institu-
ton is always determined by the adj
ministration of the place, and not by
| the character Of the persons who are
admitted thereto. We further believe
that our city does wong 20 ever send
an orphan girl 10 st. Joseph's Orphan
Asylum or any other sectarian home.
Our city, we believe, ought 10 care for
| it's own poor without the aid OF any
religious organization, and without thus
patronizing the institutions Of any sect
/ Otherwise. there can Doe no real separa-
ton between the Church and the State.
The amount of money involved I'm the
matter is not thought of by us. nor do
we care TO argue whether the city can
afford such aid TO such sectarian cor
Dorations at this time. We only, and
respectfully, ask you TO consider if, i'm
view of these things, a grave wrong
would not be done the citizens Of Rich
mond by any further appropriations 90
any scctarian institution.
Most respectfully
Signed by the Committed.

charities the camp is engaged in is the
appropriation Of $50 a year TO provide
for one of the veterans at the Soldiers
Home. This payment of $3.50 is the
first made by the camp on this behalf,
and the boys are proud of it.
The camp decided TO take part in the

The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1897-07-09

A gentleman who spent last summe,

little boys, who one day wandered into
"A pasture in which bull belonging to
a neighboring farmer was grazing. Al
though no harm was done, the gentle.
man the next day received the follow
ing note from the owner of the bull:
"Sir-You better not let your little
boys gov into the paster with my DULL
creature for he is not amiable bull

~ feet into the air which would not

summer skirts.

The latest novelty in summer petit
coats promises to bring comfort in its
wake, for the material is the all-popular
grass linen and the style is simple.
Lightweight taifetas wash silks and
colored lawns are also much the vogue,
and To be absolutely comfortable one
needs n varied assortment.
The most popular style shows gored
top, with q Spanish fiounce IL inches
deep. which in turn is edged with mar
row frill. and these are no difficulties in
the way of perfect laundering.
Evening gowns are worn over colored
slips when the material is transparent.
and allows the tint to be seen. but for
general wear nothing is so elegant as
white, whether il be silk or nainsook.
Linen sheds the dust and is easily
kept clean, besides which IL can be
Numbered at need and comes forth not
only as good. but better than new. In
addition it is deliciously cool and light
OF weight. SO that il would seem In
truth an ideal material for undcrskirts

Manuracsurer. Against Tarsn BIZ.

One of the most striking indications
of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of a liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
United States. Mr.. A. B. Farquhar. an
extensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York, Pa, is at the head
of the movement.
1t is well known that in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen in the fields all over the
civilized world. These people need no
protection and are well able to take care
of themselves. All they ask is to have
untaxed raw material, so that they will
not be placed at disadvantage.
A great list OF other industries are
practically in the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers. in their petit
ton to the senate. declare that their
ability to employ American labor VIII
be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi
ncse wall that is obstructing The foreign
trade and gripping American enter
prise shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the otectionists-nameiyt
that protection is in the interest os
American labor-is shown by census
figures to be sham. OF the 100000
persons employed in manufacturing in
the United States it is shown in the pc
tition that less than 100000 are en-
ployed in occupations subject to activ<
foreign competition and $4,000 IL
occupations subject TO moderate for.
cign competition. The remainder, over
100000. do not come at all in compe-
tition with foreign labor.
1t is very plain that the Dingley bin
ID not designed, any more than any 9TH
CT high protective measure was de.
signed, to protect American labor or &c
produce revenues for the government
II is designed primarily to protect the
trusts and to foster monopoly. --Balti'

and unlocked the index fingers of his
two clumsy hands.
but, Mr.. Shultz," said Roberts
widow, II must earn my living. must
go out and find some work to do. have
no money left. and cannot afford the
rent even of these two rooms. / must
sell my furniture TO get money to keep
me till can earn something"
"Ach. You do not understand what
l say. My mother she says you shall
come and live with her, and keep her
from being lonesome. She don't want
money; she wants company. You want
company, and you want money too.
When you get rested you come in the
drug store every day, and take in the
money and HELM keep the books as my
mother has done. / will pay you for
that. But first, my mother says you
need to rest little while"
She seemed undecided, and across his
face there passed puzzled look.
You let my mother talk TO you," he
said, after a moment or two. and lum-
bered out, closing the door softly.
\ little later Mrs. Schultz came in, and
soon the soothing tones of her quaint
broken English had proved far more
persuasive than all her son had said.
''Come to me, child" she said, Groom
ingly, land let me put you TO bed and
make you 10 sleep. Then you shall help
the old woman. DO not look at me that
way. 1t is / who need thee much more
than thou needst me-" she concluded, in
her native tongue.
And so il came that Roberts widow
came to he the housekeeper of the little
family of three. sometimes serving as
cashier and helper in the neat little
drugstore on the ground floor. The
years-two or three in number-that
followed, moved uneventually along.
Littl~ by little she became used TO living
without Robert; little by little she grew
cheerful and almost contented.
Between her and the druggists moth
err there came to be such a bond as may
exist only between two women with
pure and simple minds. But Roberts
widow could not understand the son.
