pious prejudices of many, which will please
some, and which will, very likely startle
most of people. Abram B. Weaver, Super
intendent Of Instruction for the State of
New York has rendered decision the effect
of which will be to remove the Bible from
all the Public school houses in that State.
We publish, elsewhere, the decision. Abram
B. Weaver, we are inclined to think, will
suffer for that decision. But he is logical
and we stapd by him and his logic. The
Bible has no legal place In the Public school
system, he says. When it is used within
school hours it is used without any legal
right. So he banishes it from the schools
of New York. And thereby he proves that
such school system is Goddess. The state,
he says, has nothing whatever to do with
religious instruction. Its rights only ex
tend to secular education. 1t must protect
the religious rights of all alike and the
only way to protect them is to forbid any
religious instruction, Danish the Bible
stop all prayers and then educate-pa-
gans. He is logical. He is right, go far as
he goes. Even if all. of Us had the same
Bible, no state would have the right to
enforce its reading. For some of US are
Misunderstanding all religion and the state
must not interfere with us,-for the rankest
Tnfidel has the same religious rights as the
firmest Christian. What right has the state
to force the child of the Infidel to listen to
the absurdities of the Bible. Then Baptists
have a Bible of their own. Again other
sects hold on to King James Bible,-then
the Catholics have their. own Bible and,
again, the jews mock at the New Tesla
ment. Aud the rights of all these must be
equally respected and protected. Their
various religions, whether they be COM
posed Of dogmas, or notions, or protests OF
total denials of it all, must be guarded
from cvery interference. How do it7 Abram
B. Weaver settles the question. Danish the
Bible, Religion, God from the schools.
Make the schools Goddess that is legal.
The law Of the common school system is
against God. So Abram B. Weaver is
logical so far as he goes, but his logic goes
farther than he suspects and demon
strates the farce, and fraud and falsehood
of the entire Public school system. The
superintendent of the Public schools in the
most powerful state of the Union proves
that, if necessary, Public schools must be
Goddess, according to lar! We congratu-
late Mr.. Weaver for his brave logic: but
we await the howl of hundred Isms
against his decision.

church there was one head for all; but
modern theory scouts the idea and does
without a head at all or puts the enptiest
head on an equality with the wisest.
Yet, whilst all these modern religious
improvements are to be found in nearly all,
if not in all, modern churches, they are not
on that account, identical. They each modify
these improvements to suit themselves 3
and they are constantly improving on the
improvements. When they find fragment
of truth somewhat too heavy they are
sensible enough to fling it away or if
they find a certain doctrine out of harmony
with the times they are shrewd enough to
make a compromise or if they discover
some old precept .clogging the wheels of
Progress, they push the precept aside and
let the wheels of the world roll on.
But, in all cases, whatsoever they do or
do not do, they, each, claim to be the
Church of Christ-or a church of Christ -
and they all claim to be teachers ;-and
differing as they do in their teachings they
are constantly contradicting one another.
To contradict is to eontravert.
Hence modern Christianity, represented
or misrepresented in twice hundred con-
flicting denominations, has come to be a
huge, unsettled Controversy. 1t used to be
a grand, settled Affirmation. In pulpits
and papern the controversy goes on. Butwe
are cory 70 say that in the most of it there
is more libel than logic,-more hypocrisy
than honesty more SANDER than sylo-
gism.
We have right to expect that men, who
contravert the religious faith of others
should be fair in statement, courteous in
objection, logical in argument, polite in
style, truthful in the presentation of facts,
chris:isu in spirit and scholarly in the
treatment Of all questions

1t is not prominence in any special ex-
cellence that we are here insisting upon, but,
on the contrary, it is the very absence OF
anything like such unevenness in her char
acteristics that gives her the position OF an
exemplar in economic policy. If there is
anything in complete diversification of re-
sources and of industries, and in the re-
sulting perfect division Of productive labor,
she has it, 1t is this that makes her mo-
del for the study of economists, and 1t is
from this rounded entirety of her character

Frederick List, Henry G. Carey, and Ste
phen Colwell derived the data and drift of
their studies. Upon the system OF the first
named who confessed that he learned here
all that he afterwards taught, we have the
verdict of Germany's acceptance and prac-
teal adoption, and that verdict, besides,
indicated by the astonishing achievements
which have recently resulted from a long
continued and persistent conformity to its
principles and policy. Such has been the
influence of Professor List upon the policy
and destiny of Prussia, that it is safe to say
that if he had not guided its industrial sys-
tenn, Bismarck, Moltke, and an Empe-

THE FRANKLIN CELEBRATION

The anniversary of the birth of Benjamin
Franklin was commemorated in New York
Wednesday by appropriate ceremonies. The
unwilling of a bronze statue twelve feet
high was among the exercises of the occa-
sion. Prof. Morse performed the ceremo-
nv of unwilling. Horace Greeley delivered
the principal address, and was followed by
G. c. Savage, president of the board of
trustees of the New York Typographical
Union.
The occasion was closed up by great
banquet at Delmonico's, at which Mayor
Hall, DR.. Prime, Henry Ward Beecher,
and others made speeches. Our neighbor
of the Dispatch thinks that Franklin did
not deserve these honors, and says " his
teachings have done more harm than good,
that his maxims would make mean men
Of those that followed them"
| We think the Dispatch ought to 90
down to posterity and become illustrous on
this announcement. 1t has been limited at
before in obscure quarters, but so slightly
that it is almost as good as new, and we
trust that nobody will be found to compete
for the honors of this stupendous discovery
A new star has arisen from the good ma.
tured fogyism of the Dispatch.
