THE CATHOLIC QUESTIOX.
The Baltimore convention of
laymen, which has boon in ses
sion during the past week, has
brought prominently before the
country the consideration of that
religion, incontra-distinction to the
protectant denominations of the
land.
In all probability this conven
tion will do very much towards
removing the asperities of dissen
sions that have heretofore existed
between the Catholic and protest
ant denominations, and to establish
the amenities of social relations
that should exist between all
religious organizations that ac
knowledge a common head, and
inculcate an identical religious
tenet.
While the matter of bringing
about such a state of affairs is one
that is laudable in effort, and com
mendable in action as put forth by
the convention, there were some
things which transpired there
which at leaat are open tocriticism.
With past experience before us,
it is certainly not conducive to
equanimity of feeling to contem
plate the acquirement of full
religious and possible civil control
by the Catholic . or any other
religious denomination.
The efforts to extend the moral
influence of the church and en
hance its benevolent and reforma
tory work, is highly commendable
and can be objected to by no right
thinking, unbiased person. Hut
the efforts of the Baltimore con
gress do not tend to that obje. t
alone, nor indeed one might almo.-t
say primaril. Two points were
enunciated strongly that indicate
something entirely diffeient from
that. On? uus that recommenda
tion of their platform, that Catholic
daily newspapers be established in
all of the large cities, and ttiat a
Catholic associated press be estab
lished, and the o'.her was the
absolute freedom of the l'pe of
Koine the demand that all secular
governments .scrupulously respect
this freedom.
The trend of these two proposi
tions U easy to perceive, and it
is certainly not in the line of re
ligious freedom of conscience, nor
non interference or bias of religious
opinions in the administration of
civil government, two things that
the people of these United States
must permanently and effectually
insist upon if the perpetuity of our
free government is maintained.
Would it be among the possibili
ties, or desirabilities to establish
and maintain presbyterian daily
newspapers in all the lame cities,
and a presbyterian associated
press? Then wky Catholic daily
newspaper, and censorship over
telegraphic news dispatches ; I
simply because the underlying
thought evidently was future civil j
Bupremacy. Our laws and customs
in this country now establish per
fect religious freedom. The Holy
Bee is just as free to establish and
maintain bis religious functions as
it is possible to attain. Then why
the demand for his freedom, unless
the demand is supplemented with
the design to extend that freedom
to a civil control or binding influ
ence. Certainly these thoughts
are suggested by the action of the
Baltimore congress.

OF DOUBTFUL PROPPJETT.
It is said that Senator Sherman
contemplates introducing a bill at
the next congress placing tbe
management of the election far
members of the house of represen
tatives under national contrel. Tbe
outline f the measure, as reported,
is as follows :
The uresident to appoint a
board of five canvassers in each
state, and an electmi board of
three members in -ach congres
sional district. The electoral board
will appoint a registrar and judges
of election in each predict. Tbe
judges of the election will appoint
clems of election. County, city
and town canvassers will be ap
pointed by the clectorial board.
The election of members of con
gress will be upo a separate
ticket, distinct from auy state or
tnunicp a I ticke, will be exclusive
ly under the upcrviin of officials
appointed by and responsive to
tlic liftlicnal administration.
There cau Lc l ut little doubt
respecting the right o! congress to
euact such a law, hs tlr constitu
tion uives it express authority to
regulate the election of members of
congress. The only qucstiou is,
whether it is wise ind politic to
tidopt such a measure. We confess
that we very seriously question tbe
wisdom ol such an enactment
Laws that have no strong support
by public sentiment are of little
value, aad such a law as the ene
proposed would not have such sup
port, but would be sure to encoun
ter the bitter hostility ot the great
majority of voters in nearly every
state in the union.
The measure would be denounc
ed all over the country, bv the
party in opposition, as an attempt
to influence elections iu the inter
est ot the administration in power
and not to secure honest elections.
It would not matter how justly,
fairly nd honestly the law was
executed; it would Oe branded as a
partisan scheme and a large part
of the members of th-2 opposing
party would r.ome to heiieve that
it was employed us an instrumen
tality for the successful perpetra
tion ot fraud. It would be a
departure fiom the policy which
has hitherto i.ic vailed, of leaving
elections to :i.c exclusive control ot
local authority, and as such would
encounter str-mg prejudices. The
old rule that what is sauce for
goose should be siuce tor gander
is jus: one, and the !uw which
Senator Shenioui proposes to enact
j could and would re used by the
j party in power as a means to gain
; control of the house of representa-
lives. That election frauds are
perpetrated we frankly concede,
! but we d n '. i-elicvc that the pro
j posed bill contains the cure for
j this wrong. On the nthtr hand, it j
1 appears to us as if it might t-e the
I means of making things much
j wtr.?e than they now are. The
j cure for political corruption will
j not be wrought by legislation. The
i ev'd is too i.eep seated to be cor
! rected in tint way. For its ccr-
rection we must trut to time and
j the progress of civilization. It
will cease when it is found that it
dees not pay. Thus far both poli
tical parties have made themselves
particeps criminis in crimes against
j the purity of the Lallot. When
i public sentiment stigmati.js as
i unworthy confidence the men
who buy votes or id, abet and
countenance dishonest methods of
carrying election, there will not be
found politicians willing to at
tempt te deprive citizens of their
right to vote, or with that per
turbed moral sense that enables
tuem to change the returns to suit
Tn.
the wishes of narty bosses.
remedy for this evil is not in legis
lation, but in tbe right education
of the masses.
Last Sunday in the city of Balti
more, Maryland, commenced the
celebration of the century growth
of Catholicism in the United States.
It . onsisted of the commencement
of the triple celebration of the
hundredth anniversary of the ap
pointment of the first American
Catholic bishop, the inauguration
of the first congress of Catholic lay
men held in the United States and
the dedication of the new national
university for Catholics. The
scene is described as being gorge
ous in the extreme, and the crowd
i simplv immense. Archbishop
Ryan, in the course of his address
I gave the following statistical facts:
i When Bishop Carroll was con-
', secrated in 1700 the entire popnla- ;
I tioi. of the United States wasa
little more than 4,000,000. The j

Ocr important railroad connec
tions point towards placing Albany
in the fiont of ranks as a coiumer-
, cial center. The Yaquina connec
tion already gives us a harbor on
the west, commanding the ocean
comraorce, and the proposed line
to Astoria, which is already as
sured, gives us deep water connec
tions at the mouth of the Columbia
and the intersecting lines of road
inland places us in direct and per
fect communication with all parts
of the country. Certainly no city
of Oregon has brighter commercial
prospectB.
The widow of Colonel Goodloe,
the recently deceased collector of
internal revenue in Kentucky, who
has seven children dependent
upon her for support, has applied
for the position made vacant by
his death. A? she is competent
for the position it is to he hoped
that she will be speedily placed in
it.
The Cronin murder trial in
Chicago, slowly but surely seems
to draw the net of evidence around
