It's noteworthy fact that while England
France. Austria and Belgium are trying
to separate secular education from o''iasias-
teal control, there j. a formidable party in
this country seeking To uaite them. Wis
movement in Europe Is proof Of the growing
power of an enlightened public sentiment
For this country to take any step backward
in the matter, would be most discouragIng t.
the liberal minded statesmen who are striy-
ing for the elevation Of the masses abroad
and would probably stop the wheels Of pro
gress OF both sides of the Atlanu; for quar-
ter Of a century.

Our Washington Letter.


WASHINGTON, D. C., July - lo'o'
Editor of the Free Press and Times;
The past week has been about as httls in'e-
resting as anv of the season. The Fourth pass
ed off without any attempt at public celeora-
ton. OF course, there we're plenty Of pic-nics
and excursions and fire crackers and torPeuoe'
made night land day too,) hideOus. II m'gn'
be interesting to inquire, whether the expense OIL
blood and treasure has been the greater IN Sc
curing or in celebrating American independence
and whether the aggregate suferings OF our
forefathers in the Revolution were grester than
those inflicted upon their descendants in Fourth
of July celebrations.
Congress keeps at work busily enough, but
does nothing to make a letter interesting. The
most exciting scenes in Congress are not always
the most honorable to that body, or the most
profitable to the nation. The Georgia business
drags along from one week to another. The House
p.ssed a substitute for the Senate bill last week.
The Senate disagreed and have asked for com
mi,tqe of conference. Probably the mstter vii.
be patched up, in some wsy. before the Close ot
the session.
TIE CHINESE QUESTION.
One of the most important matters now before
Congress is the subject Of Chinese immigration
and labor
Bills with reference to the subject have been
introduced By Senators williams, Stewart and
Wilson: all with the same general object 81
prohibiting any contract with CliHamen or
.. aliens before their arrival ir this country,
and flrbiidiug their Transportation when their
passage is paid by any other person than the i'm
migrants thenselves The b.l of tIr. Williams
is the only one which mentions Cinnamon sfec.-
fcaHy Il provides that any contract or agree
ment to procure. aid. or encourage the impoTta-
ton Of Cinnamon into this country shall be null
and void. and the person making such contract
or agreement shall be liable TO punishment D. r
ane and Imprisonment It also provides the
same penalties for any contract with any China
man as to the amount Of bis wages before his
arrival in this country, for transporting China
men whose passage 8, paid OF clntra',el far b.
any other person, aIl for recognizing, aiijuE or
euflrcnc any such contracts OF agreement. u
likewise prohibits the importation 3fany Ch're-e
woman not accompanied iy her h1staai ar
father, and requires that 'ie ev fence 90 ini- T.
