That is the true Confederate sentiment. 'The now insulted
Jefferson Davis' may be honored in history as much as Grant, Sherman or
Lincoln. We simply ask the people of Ohio whether this is not 'accept-
ing the situation' with a vengeance?"

4459 L Jan. 21; ed: 4/4 Williams of Wisconsin has introduced in the
House a constitutional amendment designed to shut off the trickery by
which the Catholic church received heavy grants from various states on
the plea that their schools were charity asylums. Williams' bill says:
"Neither shall any money raised by taxation in any State be appropriated
for the maintenance of any sectarian school or sectarian institutions."
"This is necessary and just, and if Congress refuses to pass it the
people will want to see who votes 'nay' upon it."

4460 L Jan. 21:8/2,3 The third day of the charity bazaar was also a great success. Nothing of special note occurred during the day but in the evening the grand prominade concert was held. The third floor had been cleared and the Germania orchestra engaged. The dance began at 8:45 p.m. and 23 quadrilles, valses, polkas and galop were played.

The 18 people who were assigned to the reception committee deserve a large share of the credit for the enjoyment of the occasion.

4461 L Jan. 21:8/3 Last evening the residence of James W. Carson on Superior st. was entered by burglars while the family was at supper, and property, the value of which will reach $300, was taken. It is supposed the theives effected their entrance through the front door by means of skeleton keys.

There seems to be a regularly organized gang of thieves in the city at present, and it is to be hoped that the police will succeed in breaking it up.

4462 L Jan. 22; ed: 4/1 The total additional expense of running fast
mail trains is only $30,000. The people will say, pay the money and
let us have the fast mails. "We are for wise and judicious economy
but to cut off an improvement of such obvious and equally distributed
benefit to the people as the fast mail system to save $30,000 a year
would be a burlesque of economy."

4463 L Jan. 22; ed: 4/3 - While the police authorities are worrying
about the metropolitan police board bill, a gang of burglars and house-
breakers has apparently taken possession of the city. We believe it is
understood that stolen property is seldom if ever recovered. If the
police cannot recover property, they ought at least exert themselves to
prevent some of the robberies which are now so frequent. "At the pres-
ent rate of progress a burglar alarm and a private policeman to patrol
the front steps with a shotgun will soon become as necessary adjuncts
to every household as the cook, or the bathtub."

4464 - L Jan. 22:8/2,3 - The charity bazaar was concluded yesterday afternoon and an auction was held in the evening. James Moriarity, Sergeant Anthony and George Hall assisted in the auction. A piano, six stoves, some sewing machines and other small articles were sold and it was then decided to finish the auction at a later date.

The Bazaar Record suspended publication as gracefully as it commenced business. The matinee at the Opera house yesterday was one of the most brilliant as well as one of the most successful amateur entertainment ever given in the city. The pantomine of Auld Robin Gray was received with thunderous applause.

The evening concert at Case hall closed the charity week. The German orchestra, The Cleveland Quartette club, and others presented the works of famous composers.

4465 - L Jan. 24; ed:4/1 - The HERALD says that of the $50,209.74 worth of property stolen in this city during 1875, $22,135.91 worth was recovered by the police. Nevertheless, "There are persons who have been robbed again and again and have never been able to gain from the police the slightest trace of their property. The thieves regard Cleveland as a 'safe town. '"'

4466 L Jan. 24:4/6 - A meeting of the Catholic Central association was held yesterday at Father Matthew's temperance hall. T. M. Graham, president of the association occupied the chair.

He is opposed to closed communion. The resignation was accepted with deep and sincere regret.

R. P. Myers, moderator, and George B. Christian, church clerk, were commissioned to draw up a suitable letter of acceptance. C. D. Bernard, Loren Prentiss, and W. E. Clarke were appointed a committee to make arrangements for a farewell reception.

Dr. Behrends, when questioned, said that he had made no plan for the future except that he would continue in the ministry and probably unite with a Congregational church.

4470 L Jan. 25; ed: 4/2 - The bazaar for the benefit of the two Protestant hospitals, Cleveland City hospital, under the charge of the Allopathic school of medicine, and Huron st. hospital, under the charge of the Homeopathists, was a great financial success. The net receipts are estimated at between $6,000 and $7,000. "This statement... will be received with genuine and well-earned satisfaction by the friends of the hospitals in question, and speaks well for the generosity of our people in behalf of the friendless sick.

"Those earnest ladies and gentlemen who took hold of the enterprise so thoroughly, and made the undertaking so successful on such short notice, are entitled to the grateful appreciation of the entirie community."

4471 L Jan. 25; ed: 4/3 - The petition containing 17,000 women's names, asking congress to repeal the anti-polygamy laws in Utah, is found to be fraudulent. "It should now be in order to find out who of the harem keepers in Utah have managed this fraudulent petition. Mr. Cannon, the four-wived member from Utah, has presented the document to Congress. If it can be shown that he knew its character, he should be promptly expelled as a swindler."

4472 L Jan. 25; ed: 4/4 The Catholic UNIVERSE and the PLAIN DEALER set up a howl against President Grant because he is opposed to sectarianism in public schools. They claim the President is trying to start a religious war. According to the above papers, the only way to avoid a religious war is not to oppose Romish sectarianism in the public schools.

4473 L Jan. 25:7/2 In a letter to the editor, an anonymous writer says: A rule of the public library forbids defacing the pages of it's volumes with marginal notes by readers. However, Draper's HISTORY OF THE CONFLICT BETWEEN RELIGION AND SCIENCE, where the author treats of the immediate causes of the reformation, has been annotated "A hideous and malicious lie" by some critical censor with more zeal than elegance.

4476 L Jan. 25:8/4 W. H. Rose, the missing cashier of the Merwin st. freight house depot, has been heard from by one of his nearest friends in Cleveland, and that he expects to be in Cleveland in the course of a few weeks.

This emphatically does away with the article published in the VOICE of last Sunday to the effect that Rose left the city with a high school girl. His friends are at a loss to know where such information was obtained and they are indignant that such a report should have been published at this late day in the affair.

4478 L Jan. 26; ed: 4/1 • The centennial bill in Congress is for $1,500,000, amounting to a tax of three and one-third cents for every inhabitant. "It will be interesting to see the yeas and nays now that the question has come to a vote. Let us know who are the Congressmen whose Centennial patriotism rates below three and one-third cents."

4479 L Jan. 26; ed: 4/2,3 The regulations adopted by a majority of trade unions throughout the country, limiting the number of apprentices who shall learn certain trades, has been instrumental in destroying the equilibrium which ought to exist between the various industrial pursuits. There is a permanent "corner" in skilled labor as pernicious to the poor laboring classes as a perpetual "corner" in flour would be to the community in general.

A bill designed to attack the restrictions imposed by labor unions has been passed by the Pennsylvania Senate. The bill was introduced by an ex-journeyman printer, Cooper.

"There was a heavy lobby chiefly composed of printers - who opposed the bill, but its intrinsic merit carried it through the Senate by a large majority, and it is thought it will be successful in the House.

"By all means let us have a log cabin on the grounds of the Centennial to illustrate the spirit of the brave and hardy men and women who first settled the Western Reserve."

4482 - L Jan. 26; ed: 4/4 - The centennial appropriations bill passed the House with a majority of fourteen votes.

"It must be apparent at Washington that public opinion is almost unanimously in favor of the appropriation, and since the people who furnish the money are willing that it should be appropriated for the Centennial, Congress can well afford to forego its objections."

of Robert Burns, the great Scottish bard, was celebrated by the St.
Andrew's society of this city in a most fitting manner at Garrett's hall.
Altogether the occasion was one of rare enjoyment and one to look back
to with pleasure by those who were in attendance.

4486 L Jan. 27; ed: 4/2 - "It appears that the White League is not particular in its choice of victims in Louisiana. Next to the negroes, the Germans who have settled there since the war are especially odius to these high-toned cut-throats." Know-Nothingism has to a great extent disappeared from Maryland and Kentucky, but in Louisiana there still prevails the gloomiest and most persecuting spirit of nativism and hatred to Germans.

4487 L Jan. 27; ed: 4/4 Members of the Democratic party may differ upon questions of church and state, upon finance, tariffs, and the interpretation of constitutional clauses, but they will always stand together in their opposition to the spread of education.

When a rule asking the committee on education to inquire into the expediency of appropriating money for school purposes was introduced into the House the other day, O'Brien, a Baltimore Democrat, asked that the reference be so worded that the matter would never come up again.
