To the Editor or The Chicago Tribune:

Of unbelc1 have not yet fallen.

cause Of religion in the world! How much good
he would be able to exert, if his influence wero
used the support Of revealed religion! What
Numbers Of wavering souls would be settled BIZ
his conversion, who now are in worse condition
than If they never heard of the Ciblo or Chris
tiauity!
Let tho Universal Church take up the cha1-
4enge nc has thrown down, and pray earnestly
and unitedly for his conversion. Days have
been appointed tor prayer and fasting on ac-
count Of less worthy objects. Cannot all sccts
of tue real Church unite in prayer for such
not but listen to such'a plea. Did He not grant
the prophets petition when he PRAYED for tho
eyes OF lis servant to bo obcned that he might

Will the petitions OF the Church to-day ara;1

glorious manner iu which to settle tic praycr

to pray for the scientists OF the age. and es

Days are sometimes appointed in which to ptay

l1TU4LIs1l,

To tie Editor n The Chcacs Tribune:
s1r: Perhaps no one in the Diocese Of I1li-
nols would object to such canon on Ritualism
as DR.. Reynolds sugsests; but there is no qucs-
ton that th1ee-fourths Of the Diocese would ut
terly condemn the beginning OF legislation look
ing IN any direction touarda th, modification of
the present comprehensirenc5s of the Church.
It is felt that the peculiaritics Of earnest mon
will disappear it they not crystallized By per
eecntlon into principles in their estimation.
The spirit OF the Church aud the age demands
federation and breadth, moro love to God aud
man.: aud more earnest, practical, charitable
work, and 1ess dsputa.ion about more forms of
expression Of common faith L LAya1As.

ENCOURAGING.

This is better reading than an

bers 10000. Its Superintendent

300 children attend schools; that
the schools are in session nine
months annually, and that all the

THE OHIO GAME LAW.

At the meeting of the Ohio
State Agricultural Convent, held
in Columbus recently, composed
of delegates representing nearly
ali of the county Agricultural So
cieties, the committee on bust
ness submitted the following res
olution as a part Of their report
which was adopted without dis
sent, except that at the end of
the resolutions a previso was at
tached providing that the prose
cutor was to be the owner of the
land trespassed upon. The res
olution reads:
Resolved, That the Legislature
! of Ohio be respectfully urged to
amend the game laws of Ohio, so
as 10 secure to the owner or oc-
cupier of lands all game thereon;
to make all persons who shall
catch or kill the same upon the
premises of another liable to the
owner or occupier of said land
for the value of said game, and
from all other damages resulting
from said catching or killing by
said trespassers; and that it be
penal offence, punishable by fine
and Imprisonment, for any per
son to 60 upon the premises O
another for the purposes of hunt
ing or killing as aforesaid.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.

The centennial celebration, OF
at least the plan proposed by the
Pennsylvanians 10 make it an In
ternatiena, Exposition, does not
meet with much favor in the Sen
ate. Senator Morrill,, of Vermont
stated Saturday that he was op-
posed to such a plan, but was in
favored of National Exhibition
in which the general government
should invite the several states
of the Union to participate. When
on international Exposition was
held it should be in New York
and he thought that 1880 would
be soon enough for it. There is
no doubt that the manner IL
whichP Pennsylvanians,and especi
ally Philadelphia lobbyists, have
been pushing the project, ha'
created a bad impression as tt
the character of the enterprise
In their efforts to make capita
out of the Centennial these indis
Greet individuals have seriousl.
injured the prospects of a meri
torious undertaking.

MISSOURI BOASTS.

Missouri boasts of her ability
to beat back any daring foe that
may assail her. The late report
of her Adtutant General shows
her warlike property to be, in
deed, formidable. She has 5S
Enfield rifles, 80 Austrian mus.
kets, So United States muskets, 2
carriage and caissons, 2 6pound
guns, 2 Woodruff howitzers, 81
900 cartridge boxes, 81 cavalry
sabers, and horse pistol. This
would do very well were it moi
that in most cases the ammuni
ton on hand is unsuited to the
caliber of the guns. For instance:
She had $4,000 cartridges of cali
ber 72 with which to load the 32
Austrian muskets of caliber SO,
and 1900 elongated ball catrid.
ges of caiber 81 with which to
load 1000 muskets of caliber 5S
How can the invaders be moved
down either with pound guns
when they must be charged, if al
all, with 12-pound shellss 1t ii
painfully evident that the Gads
hill robbers are in no immediate
danger from the war power o
Missouri.

THE Jeff. DAVIS CASE.

At the beginning of this Term
of Court the Grand Jury made re-
examination of those charged with
the lynching of JEFF Davis in Ragers-
vile last summer. John Shank,
one of the parties who has been in
iail since the last term of court, was
discharged, the grand jury, deeming
the evidence insufficient to warrant
an indictment. The only evidence
as we understand, presented against
him before the former grand jury
was the fact that blood was found
upon his coat. 1t is now under.
stood that this coat was worn by
one of the other parties on that
night. The other three parties were
re-indicted for murder in the frs
degree, and the trial of Schepfer ha:
been set for Wednesday, March IL
1t is not probable, however, that the
case will be reached before the fol
lowing Monday. The reason fol
re examining these cases by the
present grand jury is an alleged de

JUST so.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer
says that "ln the way of stealing
the Republican party wears the
horns" Just so. 1t is those
identical "horns" which dishon-
est Democrats dislike and dread
SO much; they have gored SO ma
ny corruptions, and exposed SO
many scoundrels. When the Re
publican party discovers corrup-
ton, it unmasks and Furnishes
the guilty; while, on the Other
hand, the Democrats exert them.

protect their thieves, as-not tc

HIGH SCHOOLS.

The Constitutional Convention
proposes to take a good look in
to the subject of High Schools.
A resolution of evidence as to the
number of such schools, charac-
ter of studies, and results in the
size of graduating classes. There
are a good many people yet who
doubt the propriety of such
schools forming part of the free
educational system, and there
are others who would not cavil
at their maintenance if they
could be convinced OF the benefit
being il any way commensurate
with the cost. 1t is well to have
the statistics sought for, whether
they tell for or against the High
Schools.

eARFIELD's SPEECH.

The prevailing impression made
by General Garfeld's speech in
answer to DAVIS is that it was a
great success. In Republican
circles it is considered unanswer-
able. The Democrats concede
its ability and plausibility. The
Liberals" and "Independents''
shudder at the announced pur-
pose of Democratic Congressman
toreply to it, declaring their be-
lief that the bungling attacks Of
the Democrats will but add to
the popular belief in the inyul-
nerability of Garfeld's statement.

POSTAL MATTERS.

The proposition to establish
postal savings repositories was
debated by the Committee on
Banks and Banking for week or
SO, and finally rejected. The re-
commentator of an extension of
the free delivery system, is met
rather by curtailment of the
system, necessary economy de-
manding it, and generally where
the President and Department
recommend an increase of expen-
ses the committee favor reduc-
ton.

Looking up the Agricultural College
Fund.

Under the resolution of Congress
adopted on the I'd of February, Hon.
James Monroe, as Chairman OF the
Committee on Education and Labor,
has sent to the officers of all agri-
cultural and other colleges which
received grants from the United
States Government under the act of
July 2, 1862, and the subsequent
enactments supplemental thereto, an
elaborate and carefully arranged Sc
ries of questions making inquiries
concerning the investment and Sc
curity of the funds of those institu-
tions. This is the beginning of a
thorough and long needed investi
CATION of the condition Of the Me
chanical and Agricultural Colleges
founded by the liberality of Gov
ernment. There is well defined
suspicion that many of these insti-
tutions are In sickly and unprom-
ising condition, the result of extrav
agant and incompetent management.
As a principle, the Agricultural Col
llege idea has proved the most con-
spicuous failure in the educational
history OF this country. 1t is time
that the Government should look
into the matter and see how its
bounties have been used. Prof
Monroe, whose eminent abilities as
an educator make him an ideal
chairman of his present committee,
has accordingly submitted to the
managers of these institutions forty,
three questions concerning the en-.
dowments, present resources, pros
poets, and conditions Of each of the
colleges and schools subject to in
quiry. The blank upon which these
questions are printed, with space
adjacent for the written answers
comprises twenty-fonr large pages
and if the colleges respond in goot
faith the result will be mass of in
formation of timely and important
value to the country. Considering
all that the government has tried tc
do for the advancement of agricul
tural education the results are sur
prisingly small. Mr.. Monroe
forthcoming report will probabl.
show where the trouble is.-Clere
land Leader.
