FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.

A terrible accident occurred Satur.
day morning, when case of dyman-.
tie blew up at Bremen and killed and
wounded, according to the official re-
port, 100 persons, Of whom sixty were
slain outright. 1t seems that some
gigantic fool had carefully packed q
.package.of dynamite in his luggage,
and then taken passage on the steam
ship Mosel, from Bremen to New
York. Dynamite looks like damp
Graham -four, and is composed of 81
icious ashes or pulverised earth sat-
urated with three times its weight of
nitro-glycerine. It burns: slowly in
the open air, but explodes with ter
mendous, incomprehensible force
when confined within small space.
Under the latter circumstance, a sud-
den thump sends it flying into a fame.
No better material could hove been
selected if the Bremen explosion had
been intended. The Mosel was lying
short distance from the wharf, and
her shoreward side was doubtless COW
cred with passengers. A tug lay by
her. The passengers baggage was
being transferred to the ship. Some
body may have stumbled, somebody
may have dropped a package just
how the explosion came we shall
probably never know. It did come.
The tug was blown to pieces. The
steamship was SO damaged that she
cannot sail. -Four passengers were
killed. The rest Of the sixty murder
ed on s were probably sailors, porters
and long shoremen on the wharf:
Another passenger has since tried to
commit suicide, but has been prevent
ed. His deed excites the suspicion
that he owned and packed the dyma-
mite, and that his criminal carelessness
is responsible for the horrible massa-
Gre. He Is to be examined. If the
explosion had to occur, it is perhaps
best that it took place when and
where it did. Had the Mosel been
on mid-ocean, she would have sunk
with every soul on board.
BREMEN, Dec. 14.-The Weser
Zeit4rg this morning asserts that the
passenger Thomas confessed to an in :
tention of destroying the steamship
for sake of the insurance he held, and
implicated others in the plot. The
report needs confirmation, which can
not be obtained before the end of a
judicial investigation now going on.
BREMEN, Dec. 14.-The man
Thomas, who is supposed to have
owned the case Of dynamite which ex-
ploded at Bremerhafen, is an Ameri-
can. He has been residing for some
months at strehleg, sa1ony. '"i |

THE ISSUE WITH SPAIN.

The present distinctive point at is
sue between the United States and
Spain, is stated in non.oRcial but un-
usually we'll informed circles, as fol-
lows: The United 6tates:ask, that in
future all American citizens in Cuba
accused of violations of law shall be
tried by civil courts, and not by mill
tary tribunals, with all rights in such
cases as are secured by the seventh
article Of the treaty of 1906 and,
second that all sentences where Amer
lean citizens have heretofore been
tried by military tribunals, shall be
annulled. Spain in some degree con:
cedes the claim Of the United States
to the first proposition, agreeing that
in future. American citizens accused
of violating laws, shall be tried by
the ordinary tribunals, with the right
to be heard by counsel, to summon
witnesses, and employ all other nee.
essary safeguards to the accused, but
with the reservation that all such
trials shall be according to the law OF
1921, which provides for more expe.
ditious proceedings than in. the local
courts for common crimes in the time
of peace. She also offers to revise
all sentences passed by court martial
on American citizens where it shall
be satisfactorily shown that such sen
fences were in violation of established
law. This reply is unsatisfactory t.
the United States, which takes grouni
that American. citizens accused O.
crime cannot be tried by court mar
tia, but are entitled to. trial before
civil tribunals only, as secured BY
treaty stipulation, without such RET
ervation as is proposed by Spain. =.

Two express suits of some inter-
est have been decided at Shakopee-:
In one a collection package for IS
was given to the agent with a request
to carry. it to Jordon and. collect.
The package was received but was
only taken to Brentwood station, the
Express Company having no office at
Jordon. Notice was given to the
consignee, but the package was not
taken away or the charges paid. The
court held that the company, in tax:
ing the package as it did, became re,
sponsible for it's delivery at Jordon,
and gave Judgment for the amount
of the collection. In the other, .
trunk left at the Shakopee Office, ad-
dressed to. = certain. number and
street in 81. Anthony, was taken to
Minneapolis and kept there and then
sent; Sc ii to the St. Anthony Office. but

the plaintiff, for the trouble caused
BY the neglect of the company, the
agent not having stated that. the
trunk would not be delivered as had
been requested, by the consignor.

/ THE Spanish papers in Cuba do
not like President Grants message.
The St. Cloud journal. [volume] (St. Cloud, Minn.) 1866-1876, 1875-12-16

The President goes somewhat far.
Their than Mr.. Blaine does, in max.
ing it the duty Of the States to estab-
lish and maintain public schools.
which shall be open to all without re-
gard to sex, color, birth place or religi-
on, and forbidding the teaching therein
Of religious, atheistic or pagan tenets.
We cannot but regard Mr.. Blain1e'si
plan as The better, as being simpler
and as meeting the threatened dan
gers Of the case. It's provisions could
be readily enforced, while some OF
those Of the Presidents could not be.
If, throughza constitutional amend
ment, an. absolute prohibition of a
division Of the school moneysi is made,
there is not much probability that re-
ligious, atheistic or pagan tenets will
be taught anywhere to an extent to
excite uneasiness.
At first the Democrats charged that
the purpose of the President, in, civ
ing this question SO great prominence
in his message, was to excite prejudi-
ces and make personal and party CAPT
tai. But upon second thought, they
decided to lay claim to being the orr
ginal friends and the special g;uardi-
ans Of the public schools and their
funds, and in meeting at Washington
resolved that mo none money raised by
taxation for the support of public
schools, or derived from. any public
fund therefor, shall ever BIZ, under the
control of any religious sect, nor
shall any money so raised over be d.
vided between religious sects or de-
nominations" This is good. True,
it is directly at variance with every
thing the Democracy has ever said or
done, but then we are too we'll accus
toned to having that party unsay
this year what it solemnly affirmed
last year to consider any change, no
matter how radical, as calling for
special comment. What is wanted is
the prompt settlement Of this question:
If it can be brought about quietly and
harmoniously by a cooperation Of
the Democracy 50 much the better.

THE PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

The very general discussion of the
school question evoked by ex-speaker
Blaine's letter and President Grants
message shows the deep interest felt
by the American people in the pro-
lection Of the public schools from the
Interference and influence of sects.
The sentiment very largely preponder.
ates il favor Of some action whereby
the >ols supported out of the pub
lie i...s.s may be placed, Sbeyend~ths
reach and control of churches Of any
and all denominations. Toallow the
moneys raised by taxation for the ed.
!ucation Of thechildren of the country
to be divided between this sect and that
would be to break up our present
magnificent and, bene6cent public
school system into hundreds of frag-
ments, and to exchange liberal princi-
pies Of practical education for the
narrow teachings of ecclesiastical big
otry. The spread of intelligence
among all classes, which is the hope
and safety Of a. republican govern.
ment, can be secured only by the SEC
ularization of the free schools. and
any interference with them by any re-
ligious denomination will meet with
the most determined resistance.
1t is question which should not
have a place in partisan politics. To
provide against this is the purpose
equally of Mr.: Blaine and. Of the
President, whose plans, which differ
materially, are here given side by
side:

Jones, experience with Gras.hopper..

jones was a farmer in Kansas.
His crop locked fine, and he chuckled to him
self rs he Thought of the piles of ''rags'' embel
ished with Chase's photographs, he would have
in his pockets when his wheat was sold.
Jones read in the newspapers about the grass
hOppers in his State. After he had read an ac
count one evening, he remarked:
"Grasshoppers he blamed! The idea of u little
thing like a hoppergrass doing all this damage
Why, those fellows must be looney"
fretry the rn,iror came that the hoppers
had got into his own County; but still Mr. Jones
was skeptical.
One day, while he was in the kitchen taking n
drink of water, he heard something drop on the
floor. He looked around, aud there was a grass
hopper sitting on the floor quietly chewing a
nal-hesd.
Mr. Jones said nothing; but he kept up a deal
of thinking.
Next day he went into wheat field and found
it alive with 'hoppers. This looked to him as il
grasshOppers were q reality, anyhow.
Soon they came-thicker and faster-came in
to Jones' house; they ate all the nails out of the
weather boarding, and the boards dropped off on
the ground; they chewed his chimney down
flush with the roof; they ate his cook stove
they even ate his cellar out, SO that he could not
even find the hole it came out of.
He had wagon painted green. The 'hoppers
thought it was something good to eat, and they
got the wagon inside themselves also
Jones stood and saw all this destruction He
was heard to remark:
''Oh, the dickensi Won't believe the news
papers after thisi" and with these remarks he
started on the run for the depot. He took the
first train east, and now believes that sncll
things as grasshOppers eXist.-DdRbary Ne,cs.
