The 'autOist still have the speed bug

become fathers and mothers, qnh0so children,
IN their turn, Kill be gice11 the same
0nta-ProteStant training, and you can see what
a host of enemies our democratic institutions
will have to contend with, in few years
But the Roman Catholics are not satisfied
with the exclusive control of their own
schools: they hare reached ont and inraaed
ours.
Into our Public Schools-and even into
private Protestant schools-they have thrust
their teachers, to subtly propagate popery
They introduce symbols that are peculiarly
popish, and in this way the minds of the
Protestant children are familiarized with the
system, and silently taught not to antagonize
it.
The crucfix, the madonna the nuns garb,
the priests habit, the picture of Christ and
the angels, the image of the Virgin, &C., art
fully placed where the pupils constantly see
them, teach silently in favor of foreign sys-
tenn which is nothing in the world but ancient
PaganiSm masquerading under Christian
names.

THE American Book Company is, in fact,
the School-booI1 Trust; and it is con-
trolled by Roman Catholics, of New York
and Chicago.
For many years, it has had a strangle- hold
upon the Southern States, because Of it's we'll
spent money. If circumstances make a case,
it has bribed newspapers, State School Com
missioners, County School officers and Princi-
pals in high schools all, but enough to
keep the Trust in full possession Of its mono
poly.
More than million American children are
being educated in the Pope's parochial
schools, where none but Catholic teachers are
employeca and where every book used is
thoroughly papist.
Not line favorable to Protestant princi-
pies, or to democratic principles, can find
place in those Catholic textbooks.
The pupils are taught to abhor everything
aptagonlstic to popery, and admonished that
their souls will be in danger of hell-fre, if
they read any book, or paper which exposes
Romanism.
Thus, Catholic education seals the mind
of the Catholic child, and it becomes closed,
to anything but Catholic literature.
Let these millions of children, who are

You remember the old lines of the poet
who says, that Vice is monster of SO fright
full a mein that when first seen, it excites
horror, but seen too often, eve first endure,
then pity, then Embrace"
Those old familiar lines exactly fit the les
son l am trying to drive home,
Roman Catholicism when first seen, with its
images, prostrations, Latin mummeries, day
time candles, unmarried priests, walled-up
women, fake miracles, holy swindes, adora-
ton of foreign italian priest, utter abase-
ment of the laity, inner secrets, night-hawk
secret societies, armed military organizations;
waters made into gods, and then eaten; wine
made into blood, and then drunken--all this
excitcs disgust, loathing, horror, wAen first

'But, seen too oft, familiar with her face
We first endure, then pity, then embrace"

SHORT NOTES ON THE GREAT WAR.

C1N months ago, we Democrats were howl
- ing with delight, every time our Pro
fessor Wilson wrote a Peace paper.
Vom we are bowling with delight, because
he has written War paper.
This shows that we Democrats are neither
hide-bound, one sided nor bilious.
What has Germany done to our beloved
country, since the first Of last November, when
our President was accidentally reelected be-
cause ''he kept us out Of war?'
For the life of me, [ can't see any material
change.
Germany said all along that, unless Eng
land loosened her blockade, the UBoat war
would be pushed to extrmemities.
England's blockade is legal, because she
warns vessels, stops them, and takes them
into the Prize-court tor trial.
Germany's blockade is illegal, because she
gives no warning to the offending vessel but
sinks it, aud leaves its crew and passengers to
