THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message is clearly a
bid for third term. His agitation of
the school question is utterly uncalled
for. In the first place the general gov
ernment has nothing to do with the sub
ject of education; it is a matter that
rests entirely with the States. In the
second place, the question is not and
cannot be made political issue. In
Ohio, where It has been most agitated,
the Democratic party took as clear and
unequivocal ground against division OF
the school fund as the Republicans did;
both parties were agreed that taxes
raised under a form of government
which in no way recognizes religion as
connected with the State, could not be
used to support religious institutions
and religious school is a religious in.
stitution as much as church. In fact,
such proposition is practical ques-
ton only in a few large cities, for in the
country districts it is all the people can
do to maintain schools, using all the
taxes raised for that purpose, and in
Minnesota there are hundreds Of dis
tricts without schools Of any kind
II it were true that any political party
in any portion Of the Union was COM
mitted to the doctrine of a division ol
the school fund.or was even silent where
the issue was raised, it might be pardon
able for the President Of the United
States to call national attention to it
but when all political parties are united
in opposition to such proposition, it il
unheard Of that the chief magistrate 81
the nation should 90 out Of his way te
drag it into public discussion, or ele.
vate it into battlefield for the politica
parties Of the Republic. There can be
but one object, viz: to arouse ths
slumbering fanaticisms of the people
and, on the plea Of religious necessity
perpetuate his ill-used power. While
he sets the multitude by the ears abou
the next world, Grant purposes to estab
lish his empire in this. He would con-
sumo the temple of our liberties witt
fire borrowed from burning churches.
And it is reported that convention ol
two hundred Methodist ministers the
other day resolved in favor Of Grant fo1
q third term! They no doubt felt thai
nothing but Grants military geniu.
could prevent the Pope from coming
over and taking forcible possession d
the White House. Even Fort Smelling
is probably in danger from an irruptioI
Of cardinals!
And the Union League is to be used
fqF the same purpose. We quote ~

men will, after a time, become oblivious

during the war. But now the reaction
has come. Speculation has wasted the
savings of the middle classes. Industry
is weighted with its own products. With
some of the strongest iron companies. the
stock has fallen nine-tenths. Workmen
are clamoring for labor. Emigration has
diminished, and thus crowded the German
markets with unemployed laborers, while
the steamship companies have fallen into
embarrassments. through the lessening OF
their receipts from emigrants. Great
stacks of wooden and other goods are on
hand for which there Is no demand. And
yet wages remain high. and provisions are
dear.
On the other hand, in France, calamity
has brought prudence. Speculation has
been arrested, and all classes have learned
to save, and production has gone on OF
such commodities as are in most demand.
Though taxes are heavy, times are not SO
bad in France as beyond the Rhine. The
old French economy and the industry OF
the people, with the natural productive
ness of the soil, have come in TO save
France, and, despite her defeat, she is at
this moment the most prosperous country
in the world

Florence TiIt0n Not 10 Tes-
tify.

There has been some expectation
that Florence Tilton might testify
ia rebuttal. Mr. Tilton when ask
ed by q friend about it said, with
great emphasis: No, sir, never. /
entered into the trial with two
purposes, fixed and unalterable:-
One was that L would not be gull
ty of the legal craft or moral little
ness Of forbidding my wife TO tes-
hfy in her own behalf; the other
was that no earthly power or
temptation should induce me to
summon nay daughter to give evil
dence against the mother that bore
her. Mrs. TiIton has been silenc-
ed by others, not by me. My wife
IS no longer mine, and / am not
her representative, but my daugh-
ter is still my own, and she shall
never be compelled by me, nor by
any court through me, TO speak Of
her mother in any other words
than of love and pity. There are
not chains enough in Brooklyn to
drag Florence to the Court House,
either as witness or spectator. If
the scale Of this controversy were
so evenly balanced that Florence's
testimony were the only thing
that could turn it, would not suf-
fer her to swear an unfilial oath to
her mothers shame.-NeaV York
