nc work oh CLEANING Pennsrlrania arenl

The work OF cleaning Pennsylvania avenue,
commenced yesterday, is a very good one, 50 far
a. Il goes; but it would be worth much more
10th for appearance and use, if it were extend
CT 80 As to include that part lying south of Ri
ker's Ridge. As it is. foot passengers who have
occasion to cross the street are not helped in any
way, and are. in bad weather especially, worse
OF than they were before the wood pavement
was laid. Indeed. the same remark will apply
u al the newly-paved streets, which seem to
have been improved mainly with the view of
benehtting carriage people, and quite at the ex-
renSe OF foot passengers. Inasmuch as all ele-
waited crOss-walks have been DESTROYED to pro-
mote the comfort of the former class we submit
that Justice to the latter requires that the streets
should he kept clean enough to cross ON foot
or, If this II too much at least a pathway ought
to be kept paSSabe at all the street crossings,
even though to do 30 required small force coz
stantly at work scraPing and sweeping. Folks
who tide in carriages don't pay all the taxes by
good deal, aHd they are not the only people
having rights which the authorities are bound
TO respect

Issue for the current week, and goes back to its
old form So far as the quality of it, later en-

been made with advantage to the puplic and
with credit To its publishers some time ago. IL
l. likely that the enterprise has been unproft-
able for long time past, if not always, but that

There seemed to be plenty of work for both
temperance refOrmers and policemen to do yes
terdsy, for we have not for a long time seen or
heard OF - much drunkenness on a holiday, or
any other day, for that matter. And the worst
feature of it was the very large proportion of
quite young men and half grown bows among
the intoxicated. We are unable to account for
this state of things just now but the fact was as
apparent a II was disgusting and discouragng.
There II always great need for every agency
that can be exercised to lessen the awful evil of
intemperance, and at no time has this need been
more manifest than now; and. from what we
sJw and heard of yesterdays exhibition, nothing
seems 10 be wanted more than healthy and

factory, manner, If we may judge from the later
developments in the case. They directed that
the school premises should be emo longer used or
occupied by any person durn. school hours for
the purpose of holding therein religious exer-
CSes or practices, religious instruction the read
irg of portions of the Holy Scriptures or the
recitation of religious prayers OF hymns for or
~ the children attending the public schools"
tut at the same time they granted the free use
of the public school buildings to all religious de-
nominations, before and after school hours, for
the purpose of imparting religious instruction to
all children entitled to attend the public schools
Such religious instructions were TO be at the will
ana under the control of each religious sect or
voluntary combination of religious sects, and
confined TO the children of such parents as adopt
the religious instruction of such religious
sect or voluntary combination of religious
seets, and no expense incurred for books or
for the services of teachers employed for
such religious instruction was to be made
chaTgeable to the city or school district
What was to be done i'm case a schoo, buiIdino

fainly would not be particularly edifying To the
unfortunate pupils to have three OF four teachers
Of diverse sects imParting religious instruction
TO them at the same time. One might choose IN
have his pupils singing while the others were
praying. and altogether the children would be
likely TO have their theology, what little of it
would survive such proceedings, rather mixed.
these considerations may have had some weight
with the school commissioners who directed the
principal of the Hunters Point school to disre-
ar4f loo To-, al.
the Bible was read in the school again on Thurs
Gay and Friday last. There Is truce during
the holidays, but the war is expected to break
ont with increased violence after New Years A.
the Catholics, on the authority of the trustees
propose TO organize a class for religious instruc-
ton after school hours, and this will be resisted
by the commissioners.
