they choose, to end the route at Beetown as
proposed; or, TO embrace Beetown in the SER

II would perhaps be well also for persons
bidding for service on route No. 1886

more frequent service on that route, as il is
possible that the bidding may be such as 10
make Il desirable TO not change route No.

even II six times week service shall be lei

II the service shall be let to end at Beetown,
It is likely that there would be difficulty in

interested in such connections.

The BIBLE IN SCHooLs.-The Bible
question has finally reached a settle
ment in Cincinnati. The courts hold
that it cannot be ruled out in consis-
tency with the Constitution of the
State. The action was to continue
the injunction heretofore granted
restraining the operation OF the res
olutions of the school board provid-
ing that the reading of the Bible and
all religious instruction in the public
schools shall not be permitted. Judge
Hagans held that provision of the
constitution recognized the religion
OF christianity, and acknowledged
that religion and morality were nee
essary to good government that the
State used religion as means to
promote good government, and there
fore the exclusion of all religious in
struction from the public schools was
contrary to the provisions Of the bill
of rights. Judge Storer concurred
and the injunction was made perpet-
ual. Judge Taft dissented. He is a
Liberal Unitarian, Judge Hagans is
Methodist and Judge Storer is an
Episcopalian. The counsel for the
defendants say they will carry the
case to the Supreme Court.

dition of the man oumung; or i,
may receive such thorough over
hauling that it will be useless for
purposes of instruction for at least
two years. If the old building ia to
go into dry dock for repairs, will
they erect temporary substitute,
or send the students home?
The great foresight and liberality
of Michigan has placed her UNIVERSE
ty in the front rank. 1t appears
that Wisconsin has never made a
grant or appropriation to her College
that is worthy of being mentioned.
The Regents report that the total
amount this State has ever giUen to
its University is S2,697 ,59-the rest
being q land grant from the U. s.
government. The State has kept
the accounts of the University lands
and funds, but deducted payment
therefor from said funds. This mean
and narrow policy toward the chief
educational enterprise has stunted its
growth, no doubt, yet it is well
known that under tho charge of
Pres. Chadbourne it has become fill
ed to its utmost capacity, SO that
new buildings are q necessity, unless
the people are satisfied that it shall
advance no farther.
At this particular stage of its prog
ress; when for the first time it has
enjoyed excellent and successful
management, when its rooms are
well filed, and scores of poor stu
dents have to board in the city, when
the college course has been thrown
open to ladies as well as men, and
members are competing for diplomas,
it seems incredible that the present
bill should be defeated, or that the
legislature should go to wrangling
over the ornamental and architectu-
raj features of building twelve
years old, and endeavor to reduce it
TO the primitive and economical pat
tern OF a Puritan meeting house.

opinion concerning the infallibility

Pope not little. The Pope express
