It will be observed tbat the Item of

from tbe item for mod leal supplies. It
will also be observed tbat it Is 1200
larger than tbe grocery bill and ooal
bill, and 1700 larger tban the butcher's
bill, and is 16 per year for rum for each
inmate. In addition to the appropria
tion of public money for this sectarian
institution large money is solicited, as
they admit in their report, from tbe
charitable people of the city, weekly
and monthly, for this charity.
Strong drink is tbe fruitful source of
pauperism, crime and want. Undoubt
edly many of the inmates of this, as of
other charitable institutions, are
brought there by strong drink, and it
should be the office of these institutions
to reform their unfortunate . Inmates
who are addicted to drink, Instead of
perpetuating the appetite and sending
them out the same or worse than when
they entered. Of course there may be
some mistake, or some explanation,
though it is dlffioult to see what it can
be, and I submit that such an explana
tion, if one Is possible, of this item for
drink is due from this Institution to
congress and the charitable people of
this district. Elijah A. Morse,

Floating In a Sea of Blood.
Here is a terrible record which a con
temporary credits to papal tyranny. It
is by way of reply to the late encyclical
letter of Pope Leo XIII to the Angli
can churches. It breathes tha spirit
of love, conciliation and peace, and in
vites all Christians to repose in the
tender, loving bosom of the "Mother
Church," all of which sounds nice, but
what does history say?
Having been perverted from its bet
ter aim, the Roman Catnollo church
became the foe of liberty, the most in
tolerant Instrument of oppression, and
has sought by alliance with civil au
thority to establish an ecclesiastical
despotism over the whole earth. From
the world's authentlo history here are
some of the reeking reoords of its mon
strous march over the earth and over
the rights of others to life and liberty:
Its pagan hierarchy conspired and
paid a hireling the blood-money that
betrayed Christ; it led St. Peter from
Its own Romaa prison to the top of its
own Vatican mount, where it cruelly
put him to death, and claims, with
audacious bigotry, to be the apostolic
successor and representative of the
very beings it most brutally killed.

Total loss of human lives, as
found in authentio history,
by papal tyranny. 70,559,000
Here are millions more than all of
the inhabitants ot the United States
lain through the selfish ambition of
this controlling hierarchy. Why not
believe and let believe? Why not per
mit each in perfect kindness to be fully
persuaded in his own mind? And
there are thousands of little ' children
slain or starved, as unwanted kittens
and pups are cast into jungles and
ponds, and thousands of others, desired
for tbe propagation of this tyrannous
power, forced into soul-cramping con
vents, some from the homes of their
living, others of irecently killed, par
ents. Can you wonder that men pro
test against this? Aye, even at infi
delity, when this so-called Mother
Church, claimloc infallibility, and
claiming: the only power and term
salvation, baa set before tha world this
undeniable historic record ? .4ttf an
leader.
TnmUm laUtbellc.
la tbe course of a speech made in
Baltimore on Thanksgiving Day by
"Father" Stafford, the occasion being
tbe raising of tbe Stars and Stripe
over a Catholic parochial school, he
took occasion to five full recognition to
tbe principle of separation between
church and state, lie said:
"When the Roman empire fell and
Europe bad to be reorganised, church
and state became more or leas mixed,
and the clergy, being almost the only
people with any knowledge, were, from
tbe necessity of the case, forced into
civil life. It was never Intended tbat
the clergy should take charge of tbe
affairs of state. The Divine Founder
of Christianity made church and state
separate.
"And when this country began, we
turned to the first principle. We de
cided that the one was to be supreme
in the civil order, theother supreme in
the spiritual order. The state with us
ha no religion, recognizes no church,
cannot recognise any church, ought
not to recognize any church, but Is
obliged to recognize that religious lib
erty is involved in tbe rights of a man
as a citizen, and must protect him In
the exercise of it.
"Whoever, then, Impugns this prlvl
lege and denies the right or anybody or
any church to their faith; whoever op
poses a man in civil or business life be
cause of his religious beliefs; whoever
takes from such a man the means
whereby he may earn his living; who
ever refuses to support him politically
or otherwise whoever does thete
things, I say, is not an American, but
a foreigner. He steals the livery of
heaven to do the work of the devil; he
wraps himself in the flag ot liberty to
establish a despotism; he proclaims re
ligious liberty in order to stab his
brother because he does not believe as
he does; he has introduced into our
civilization the very worst forms of re
ligious hate and devilish animosity as
they were found in the old world."
This is far from being "good" Catho-
lio doctrine, but it is not for us to say
that it does not represent the real senti
ments of the speaker. The Sentinel
udges no man; it condemns no man; It
wishes to accord to all men, Catholic or
Protestant', full liberty to the most fa
vorable construction that can be placed
upon their motives. It deals with prin
ciples, and is glad to see any recogni
tion of just principles, wherever made.
And it deplores the fact that the "Prot
estantism" of to-day has so few repre
sentatives who are willing to avow
themselves as plainly as does this Cath
olio prlost in favor of the separation
of the state from religion. American
Sentinel
Ex-President Harrison's Sentiments.
The following utteranoes are from an
article by ex-President Harrison, in
the La diet' llomt Journal:
"So the impulse of patriotism needs
to be Instructed, guided brought to
the wheel it it is to do the everyday
work of American politics. Sentiment?
Yes, never too much; but with it and
out of it a faithful discharge of the
prosy routine of a citizen's duty. A
readiness to go to the field? Yes, and
equally to tbe primaries and to the
polls. We were alert to for
eign foes the drum-tap arouses the
heaviest sleepers. But we are a dull
people as to Internal assaults upon the
Integrity and purity of publio adminis
tration. "The old-time Fourth of July cele
bration, with its simple parades and
musters, the reading of the Declaration
and the oration, that more than sup
plied the lack of glitter and color in
the parade once the event of tho year
went out of fashion. It is
coming back, and we ought to aid in re
in stating it. The good old Declaration
has a pulse in it and a ring to It that
does the soul good. Has your boy ever
read it? Have you all of It? I would
like our census-takers to be required to
get an answer to that question.
"Do not be ashamed to love the flag
or to confess your love of it. Make
much of It; tell its history; sing of It.
It now floats over our schools, and It
ought to hang from the windows of all
our homes on all publio days. Every
man should uncover when the flag is
borne by in the parade, and every one
should rise when a national air is given
at a concert or public meeting."
The above sounds well, but so long as
Mr. Harrison consorts with Pat Egan,
R. C. Kerens and Steve Elklns, but
little stock will betaken in his professed
sentiments. Boston Citizen.

Caused her to be very wakeful. She,

plving to your Inquiry asking what re
sults I had with your Ir Kay's Keno

relief and am bow well In the first
place I had LaGrlppe, and It was a long
time before It seemed to leave me, then
It turned into Malaria and 1 have taken
quinine enough to kill a person, but
got no relief until I commenced taking
your Or. Kay's Kenovator. I had Indi
gestion, a severe headache, and blind

there were threads of fire and little
stars before my eyea. I am glad to say
that after taking one box of your Keno

before tbe second box wa gone I was
well and have had no return of those
distress spells; thanks to your Renova
