they got large government orders, and
were allowed to pick their own veter-
mary inspectors, who made everything

England according to the official sta
tistics,) sent over million horses to
the seat of war not even the hides OF

those who were supposed to bestride
them, as cavalry soldiers, had to leg

a sheet, published in Seattle, called
THE Socialist" and which is being
circulated among Catholic working
men. By means of this periodical the
infidel and dangerous scphisms of So
cialism are being spread broadcast

article in this sheet is from the pen
of an unfortunate priest, Rev. Tllos.
NIcGrady, of Kentucky, whose writ
ings were condemned by his own bish-
op. and are in direst opposition to the
teachings of Pope Leo XIII. No Cath

WILL HIS ORDINANCE PASS 4?

A[cFirbris, the old Irish chronicler,
speaking of Grace O'NTalley, some
times called eth, last Queen of Con-
lElught," states tllat the intrepid
cfieftainess once passed Il law which
compelled all the people under her
jurisdiction to marry early, says th"
Buffalo Union and Times.
Now comes Alderman O'Leary, of
HolyOl'a, Mass, proposing here at the
threshold Of the twentieth century,
that every unmarried official of that
city who receives 500 year salary
shall be compelled to marry. He is
married himself, THE father OF eleven
children, healthy, successful, and, 1le
declares, happy since the day of his
marriage.

titude of young bachelors who earn
large salaries vet refrain from mar
rage The city, incidentally, mas sew
clal Thousand young girls willing to
marry, provided someone affords them
an opportunity. The young men Ell
Joy their society, but do not propose
Alderman O'l.clry Says this is Il
shame. He proposes TO lcnlcdy it by
securing the passage of an ordinance
requiring all city officials earning I"
certain amount to marry under penal
ty of dismissal.
Now, Alderman O'Lcary's ordinance
may not pass; nevertheless. we are
with him in his fight. He is right. II
is a shame those young bachelors dc
not marry. If they do not mean t..
marry they ought not be allowed to
enjoy tile company of THE amiablc
young ladies' of Holyollc. In this pc
culiar age there are Il multitllda of
young men who act disgrlcufully in
this respect They 90 with young
women for months or years and mean
nothing serious. Evidently they do
not see that they are injurIng The
young wOnrln'S opportunities by being
in the way of better men. Alderman
OLeary is sensible and conscientious
as we'll as successful and happy.
1t is safe to predict that much ridi-
cule will lie poured on him and his
proposed ordinance during the next
FEW weeks; still, it is as reasonable
and just that there should be law

Gus tllat there should be Il law cnmpell-

Trusts are held responsible for a
surprising decrease in high school at

Lincoln Public High School, in Cleve-

the high schools than last year, al
though there has been an increase of
about 3 per cent in general school at
tendance. 1.-The trusts are to plame,''
says Principal McLane. "They have
increased the cost of food and other
commodities. With the cost of living
increased parents send their sons and
daughters to work to increase uiua
family income to correspond with the

AN EXCELLENT TICKET.

The primary election of last Tues
day brought out quite large vote in
this city and county, though in many
of the districts throughout the stale
the vote was unexpectedly light. The
new primary law does not meet all
requirements, but it is something new
and it would be surprising if it did not
have some imperfections. There is no
doubt but what the vote in this city
would have been still larger if the
voter had been allowed to cast Il Sc
cret ballot without being asked his
party affiliations. Some voters are
sensitive on the point of being asked
whether they Hrc Democrats, Rcpub-
leans or members Of some other par
ty. This is particularly SO when they
are about to enter the voting booth,
and it is Il fault OF the new system
that certainly demands attention.
Where there are three OF more canul-
dates in Il party for any one position.
it is Il minority vote almost inv;ria-
bly, that nominatas, not a maj rity, and
this. too, is met with ce1lSlre. There
are other faults, but in the main the
system is good and is destined, we be-
lievc, to meet with favor us the rem
edies are applied.

The census of the county and city
of limerick, just issued, shows that
the city, like 50 many other Munster
towns, has more than held it's own
during the decade. In 1891 its popula.
ton was 37,155, while in 1901 it was
1851, the increase being within four
of Thousand, or 81 per cent This,
however, is the only increase in the
county The decrease in the rural dis
tricts has been very large, ranging
from per cent in List wei to 1873
per cent in Groom. The total popuEl-
ton of the county was only 146,O9S,
as compared with 15S,912 in 1891, or
Il reduction Of 81 per cent. On the
other hand, the number of adults who
could read and write had increased
during the decade from $50 per cent
to 75.2 per cent, and the illiter:ltes had
decreased from 24.4 per Cent to 900
pea cent The religious statistics of
the county and city show that Cath
