The writer is at' a loss to find out
what all the fury Is about. In the
ast analysis, what perceptible differences
are there in the'two major political
parties? . Year by year and
lay by day such""' Apparent differences
ire growing more imperceptible. The ' w
Principles not parties, merr mot' moonshine,
are the important things; more- .

Catholicism. --Personally I care not
whether the man elected to the highest
office within the gift of the American
people, is^tvef or dYy, Catholic,
Protestant or JMohatnmedan, of English
extraction or Irish. The important
