The Public Schools,
From The IolpQ Ctr I

from the IooCd City Press,
The Democratic party used its power in
this country to establish an admirable
system Of public schools, giving to it grants
of public land that should have yielded
million upon millions of endowment and
made taxation unnecessary The Repub-
lican party came into power and
whenever and wherever they could, stole
the lands, as in northwestern Iowa. and
dissipated the endowment or used the
taxing power to build school houses for
use by the Protestant clergy as meeting
houses,
Now come the demagogues of that
party. busy as burglars, in the creation of
a know nothing protectorate Of the public
schools
The Democrats provided in nearly all of
the old state constitutions that the school
fund should never be divided or diverted
and that the schools ana school moneys
should not be used as sectarian propaganda.
The Protestant priests have for years
violated these constitutional provisions.
The very fellows who are now ranting
about Catholic diversion of the school
fund have been around preaching
Protestant dogmas in the public school
houses on Sunday, warmed with the wood
bought with the school fund. More than
that they have insisted that the schools
when in session should be Protestant
schools, and have, with the authority of
public school officers, prescribed school
books that are intensely sectarian in
tone, books that lump Catholics and
Liberals all into one heap and dump
them incontinently into He'll, without
benefit of clergy. They have insisted upon
reading bible in the public schools which
no decent man dare read entire and without
skipping in his family circle. which no or
dained preacher dare read eat re from his
pulpit, book to parts of which there are
insuperable objections and which under
the United States laws against the circula-
ton of obscene matter can be excluded
| from the mails.
So having violated the constitutional
protection devised for the preservation of
the schools from sectarian control, cor
ruption and destruction, these fellows now
turn and accuse the Catholics and Demo
Gratis of intending the crime with which
their own hands are already reeking
Here in Iowa, Sunday after Sunday, the
public school houses are used constantly
for Protestant churches,
| Now suppose Catholic priest should GO
on Sunday to public school house, set up
his tabernacle, elevate the Host, do the
Mass and hear confession? Would not the
world ring with the abuse of the sacred
school!fund? And yet Protestant priests do
this every Sunday, and ii prosecuted for
it an honest court would hold them guilty
of violation of the constitution.
No more hypocritical, hollow hearted
and dangerous issue has ever been intro
duced into American politics than this, and
we hope the people will have sense enough
to put it down with the severe prompt
ness it deserves.

DR.. HAYES ON the Arctic Night.

DIR. |. l. Hayes recently delivered his
second lecture on Arctic explorations in
the large hall of Cooper Union in New
York. He said he believed the day was
not distant when an open Iassage to the
Pole would be found. That was the dear
est wish of his heart, and he had hoped to
be instrumental in finding it, but the glory
was evidently destined for some other.
lie then gave graphic description of his
trip to Greenland, made some years ago in
the hope Of finding an open passage, the
hair-breadth escapes he and his crew had
with icebsrgs, and the hardships they
endured, He dwelt at some length on the
subject of the Arctic circle, which he said
was line more than two thousand miles
in diameter, and upon the great belt of ice
could be seen. He claimed to have reach
ed the highest point attained By any tray
eller in this direction.
DIR. Hayes gave sketch of day and
night life in the Arctic regions. No ore
but those who had visited Greenland could
comprehend the sensation of having no.
thing else but daylight and at other times
rcthing but darkness. The Arctic night
was difficult to be understood. He was
kept at Smiths Sound for long time dur
ing the day and night of darkness while
endeavoring to reach the North Pole. His
vessel OF only $50 tons was nearly wrecked,
and for some time could not break from
the ice, and they had to await the return
Of the suns rays. In the place Of hay,
ing night in S65 parcels they were compel.
led TO have theirs all in lump, and there.
fore when daylight came they had to make
the best of it. For four months and a half
they were kept in darkness. Men were
not born to live without daylight, DR..
Hayes concluded, no more than they were
to live alone. (Laue6ter.)

when writing his celebrated poem, "Com-
in Thro' the Rye" is at last settled.
Not long ago some one wrote a letter to a
newspaper saying that everybody seemed
to mistake the meaning of Comm Thro'
the Rye" that the rye alluded to was not
a rye field, but "a small, shallow stream
near Ayr" The girls and boys were in
the habit Of fording this stream, and Gus
tom sanctioned the kissing of any girl met
midway between the banks. The follow
verse was quoted in proof of this theory:
Jennie is a wat puir bodie,
Jennie's seldom dry;
She drag'et a her petticoatie,
Comm tEro' the rye.
A Bostonian, becoming excited over the
matter, wrote to Mr.. 2. H. Waddell, of
Glasgow, a biographer of Burns, regarding
it. and received reply, which he prints
in the Boston Advertiser. Mr.. Waddell
says he never heard of any brook in Ayr
shire called the Rye; that no woman in
her senses would let her dress get wet in
fording shallow stream, whereas, any
woman, no matter how sound her mind,
toould be apt to get her skirts wet passing
along narrow path through rye fields
when the latter were moistened with dew
or rain, He also calls attention to the
fact that rye is spelled with a small n" 10
all Of Burns editions of his poems, which
would not be the case if the lines referred
to stream Of that name. Mr.. Waddell
adds
The song does not refer to any rustic gallantries
in the haIvesteld at all, but to very saluta-
ton where ii could not be avoided Jennie was
probably some simp minded, harm ess creature,
employed to go messages from one house or villa
to another, through the fields and the whole bur
den OF her complaint is that very unexpected com.
pliment on the way had been made q subject Il
ridicue in the nelghborhood.
Thus is one more inconoclast crushed to
powder.
