 Our friend of the Derby Transcript is very crochety on Woman's Suffrage and the Connecticut Lobby, but on the "Bible in the Schoop question he is just right The scholars of the Hunters Point School, l.. I. are five sixths Catholic, and Pro- testant School Board expel forty of them because they refuse to use the bible as reading book.

If the former is the case, school boards are guilty of tyranny who endeayor to force any form of religious instruction upon the children of unwilling parents Have Mor- mon school authorities 8 right to tax ssGentiles" for the support of public schools, and then force their children to read the Mormon bible

Deputy Marshal at the recent election. Ten of the jury were for conviction, but two stood out, one of whom was policy" swindler named Preserved Gage. Irving is to be tried again soon before more impartial jury. Singularly enough, also, four election in- spectors proved to have been guilty of frauds in Brooklyn were saved by the persistence of one iuryman. 4 EsA sa
