DAN s1CKLEs A DIPLOMATIC DEAD DUCK

The New York Epening Post publishes
spondeut, written from Spain, which
reflect severely, though not too much 30,
upon Grants pet Minister, Dan. SlckIes
According to this correspondent of Radi
cal Administration paper, poor Sickles is
certainly diplomatic dead duck, and his
carcass will probably soon become so of
fensive that it will have to be thrown out OF
the Madrid coop. The correspondent allud
ed TO says
Slckles has ruined the business conhded
TO him, aud made it impossible, ut least
temporarily, and ruined himself for the
transaction of any business whatever with
Spain now or hereafter. lie has got him
self into bad odor with the people, and at
the same time into such ridiculous and
pltiable diplomatic position, that any busI
ness put into his hands hereafter, or conhded
to his advocacy, must fail, simply because
he has hold OF it. The Spsniards are thus
constituted argument is Of no avail with
them: reason is an argument they use rare
". they either like you or they dons; and
if they don't, if you were to offer them
msuua from heaven they would not take 1t
from your hands; and again, If they like
YOU, YOU can lead them almost anywhere
Violence is of no use threats are always
productive of precisely the opposite effect from
that intended. Ii you undertake to crush
them, after they can resist no longer, they
will lie down, and let themselves be whipped
ard kicked, bu, they will not yield. 1o'
can get nothing out Of them By that pro
cess. Long after you are tired out and ar,
gone about something else they will spring
up and come back on you, as unyieIdInl
and unreRsoning as ever. You must kBo'
this people; know the springs which NOV
It's government and move its newspaper
aud its clubs, and know how to produce i
favorable resolutions, or the effort TO 4
anything with them is hopeless.
And Sickles ha, put his foot in it. II
indignation be has managed to excite a
over Spain is strong and genuine, snd i
frat result IS to stir this people up to ge
usue hearty effort against the Cubans The

RELIGION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The tendency Of the times is to nave A'' ea'
ncation provided ct public expense py TAXA
ton. In most of the public schools the D'o'e
;sused and religious exercises andiorm apart
of,be course Of instruction. In some states
,bsuse of Bibles in the schools is secured and |
protected BY constitutional provisions. In the
vest communities are often equally divided
on the question of religion or no religion,and
others are more intensely divided on Catho
Icism and Professionalism. In Cincinnati
and other Western cities very serious con
,roversies have arisen between the Bible
and the anti.Bible elements, the compliant
being generally made by the anti bibl'sts
tina, they pay heavily of the school tax ana
are compelled to surrender all benefits 90
rived from the school system by reason Of
,ba Protestant or heterodox influences
upon their children in the public schools,
compelling them to patronize and support
private schools. These conflicts will be-
come more general and more violent unless
some adjustment can be made which the
public conscience, both religious and anti.
religious, will accept as just and right.
Mr.. John Hope, of Edinburg, seeing the
difficulties which threaten what is falsely
called free education, has written pam
mile. in which he offers solution of them
which appears to be almost praetcaoie'-
He ,bsorv 10 Inns summarized:
A law shall be passed requiring that every
man woman, and child OF the nation be
Thoroughly educated in the essentials O
knowledge, to make them good subjects ant
useful members OF society. The inhsbitant
Of each educational district shall pay q
ordinary school tax, the amount paid b
each person being placed to the account
that denomination which he may, for II
time, prefer. Ifthe difference were mereI
between Pedestrians and Catholics, the taxi
paid BY Professionals would be placed to q
Protestant account, and those paid ny tn
Catholics would be placed to the Catholi
account; and there would simply be Protes
ant schools and Catholic schools. If tn
Episcopaans preferred to have schools sci
arate from those Of the other Protestan,
their money would be placed to the Episc
palian schools, &c. If it happened, as
often would, that this ordinary school to
was insufficient, to meet the special deme'
that ia. if the Protestant tax did not sutf
for the payment of the expenses OF the ne
esssry Protestant schoos-then q supp
mentarv tax would be laid on the Prote
ants of that district equal to the dehcien'
and, if the Catholic taxes of district shot
in like manner be insufficient, the sal
should be done with them If there We
inhabitants who were neither Protesta
nor Catholics, or who desired that tn
should be schools for their children wher
no religion whatever should be taught, tt
could go designate when they paid their
and their money could be placed to the cr'
of the secular school account, any deticle
that might occur therein being made up
the same manner.
