The Christian year at Plymouth church is relieved
Of any monotony by the necessarily varied incidents
that 80 large church and congregation necessarily
crowd into the calendar Of Its services and ceremo-
malls. Yesterday there was baptism OF infants ana
negro collection as specaites Of the morning ser.
vice.
Before the prayer that precedes the sermon Mr.
Beecher announced that the children OF 'beljeving
parents would be presented for baptism. The pastor
descended from the platform, and small company
offathers and mothers passed before him. each father
presenting his infant for the sprinkng Of the water
and the endowment Of the Christian name by the
pastor Before the baptismal service commenced
the choir chanted In an effective manner appropriate
Scriptural passages -.
The negro collection was preceded by a CONVERSE
tonal kind of address that was thoroughly enjoyed
evidently, by the audience and must have been deeply
interesting to many Of those present whose memory
went back to one Of the scenes described. Mr..
Beecher said that he asked the congregation
TO give that morning collection that would
virtually be three collections rolled into one
inasmuch as It was for three objects. The
first was for the Lincoln University for the
coOred people OF Missouri, and the significance OF
thar appeal would be best considered by those who

was one that was well worthy OF their sympathy.

State Appropriations for Sectariar
Purposes.

We believe the present Legislature of
this State has thus far kept itself clear
from making appropriations for sectarian
purposes. And we trust that it will keep
itself clear till its final adjournment. If
it does it will act wisely and well. We
have non-sectarIan institutions enough to
receive and judiCiusly use all the appro-
priations the State can make, or, if not
they can easily be instituted. Under no
plea whatever should State applopria-
tions be made to promote sectarian pur-
poses.
The Constitutional Convention of Illi-
nois, now in session at Springfield, has
adopted the following provision:
Sec 40. Neither the General Assembly.
nor. any county. city. town, township,
school district, or other municipal cor.
poration, shall ever make any appropri-
alton, or pay from any public fund what
ever, anything in aid OF any sectarian
purpose, or to help support or sustain
any school, academy, seminary, college,
university, or other institution of learn
ing controlled by any sectarian denomin-
alton whatever.
Would it not be well for the State of
Wisconsin to adopt similar Constitu-
tional provision Non-sectarian institu-
tions are as dear to this State as they are
to Illinois, and the Legislature Of this
State seems to require Constitutional re-
straint more than the Legislature of Illi-
nois to prevent its making appropriations
for Sectarian purposes.

the spirit of our state constitution
We have nothing to say against any Of
the institutions which it was proposed to
aid-sone OF them we know are doing IA
good work, and are worthy Of the supper
II the charitable public; but some Of them
are really church institutions and as such
are placed beyond the aid of the state by
the letter Of the constitution. The amount
Of he appropriations it was proposed t.
make these institutions was not large,
"a would have been a'slight burden up
o the taxpayers, but the giving Of these
ms would have been held as an excuse
for the donating of larger sums in
future, and for increasing the number Of
them as the institutions increased, which
they Will continue to do in the same ratio

these appropriations was establishing a
precedent which, in time, might be used
to work the state a great injury, by using
the public money to foster institutions
and doctrines opposed to the fundamental
principles of the commonwealth and the
nation.

Tes-Dr. Pease helping them.
The project of removing the Capital OF
the State to Milwaukee is not new to
Milwaukeeans, and perhaps few others
The Milwaukeeans have faith in it, and
their faith in it has become so strong
that they have confidence that it will be
done. They have held public meetings,
made enthusiastic speeches, passed conf
dent resolutions, and done everything but
remove the Capital. And that they ex-
pect to do in due time.
We have often said that people never
feel better than they do when they are
well humbugged. The people of Mil
waukee are no exception n this respect
They are well bumbugged in relati n to
the removal Of the Capital to Milwaukee,
and they never felt better Their having
humbugged themselves makes no differ
ence, provided only the work is well
done. They have not, howeve', done the
work all themselves. According to the
reported proceedings of the great meet
ing on Saturday night a week ago, DIR
Pease of Monticello. made a speech, and
did more than his full part. According
to the Doctors reported speech, he said
the question should be submitted to the
vote of the people, and if that was done
thu people would all vote for it, except :
few in and around Madison. @ lery Wa

member Of the Assembly from Marquette
County, if we allowed ourself to maxi
suggestions to the Legislature, we would
suggest Legislative investigation to as
certain DR.. Peases status in this respect
We felt, and do feel inclined, to lei
the Milwaukeeans and DR.. Pease enjoy
themselves in their belief of the Capita
removal, as long as they can. And WI
can scarcely feel reconciled to so many
protests against the removal, coming
from the press of the state
and to the reports against the
removal-said to be unanimous-of the
committees of the Senate and Assembly
on State Affairs. Why should the press
and the Legislature be in so much haste
to destroy enjoyment? Is it because
they are envious Of the enjoyment OF 9th
era, and love cruelty? We trust not
The press and the Legislature have, with
ont doubt, acted with reference to the
public welfare in this respect. They
probably thought that delay might b.
dangerous, and that it was best to NEE
the question at once. And as the ques
tion is being met, we join init. Wevot,
