The Christian Union remarks:

| The Protestant clergy OF chicago are re-
ported TO be about equally divided upon
| The matter of disseminating the reading of
| the Bible as an opening exercise in the
| common schools. Those who take the af-
| firmative, we venture to say, have given
| the subject a more CAREFUL consideration
| than those in the negative. Those must in
| crease, while the latter are sure to decrease
| as the discussion goes forward. There is
| no installing the tendency Of public opin-
ion toward the complete secularization of
| schools"
Rev. DIR. Clement NJ. Butler, an Episco-
| pal clergyman of Philadelphia, has an
nounced himself in favor of abandoning
| the "irreverent farce and dissertation of the
perfunctory reading OF the Bible in our
| public schools"
Prof Swing of Chicago alluded in a re-
cent sermon 10 the action of the Chicago
school board in excluding the Bible from
the schools, and planted himself squarely
on the only defensible principle; 1.-THE
| government has no more right 10 teach the
Bible than il has to teach the Koran. My
idea is that the government did, in its ear
| lier life, run according to a sort of Christian
common law ; but now the number Of Jews,
Catholics and infides has become so great
| ly Increased, The government has TO base
itself squarely upon its constitutional idea,
that all men are religiously equal. Even
if the genius Of the country permitted the
teaching of the Bible, should doubt the
propriety of continuing the custom, be-
cause no valuable moral results can ever
come from reading a few verses hurriedly
In school-house, and social striles will be
continually springing up out of the prac-
! tice."
That this is the common sense view
of the case, and the one which will gener-
ally prevail after full discussion of the
subject, we fully believe. However, the
| question is ono which should be thoroughly
considered, and settled purely upon its mer-
its, as the ultimate good of the nation shall
seem to require.

OUR CLAIMS UPON SPAIN.
The Point Of Difference Between the two
Governments.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The present distinct
i've point at issue between the United States
and Spain is stated in non official, but usually
well informed circles, as follows:
Tbe Uuted States ask that in future all
American citizens in Cuba accused of violation
of law shall be tried by civil courts, and not by
military tribunals, with all right 10 such cases
as are secured by the article of the treaty of
1875; and second, that all sentences where
American citizens have heretofore been tried
by military tribunals, shall be aanull ed
Spain in some degree comedies the claim of
the United States to the first proposition, but
with the reservation that all such trials shall
be according to the law of 1921, which provides
for more expeditions proceedings than those of
the civil courts for common crimes in time of
peace. She also offers to revise all sentences
passed by court martial on American citizens
where it shall be shown satisfactorily that
such sentences were in violation of established
law. This reply is satisfactory to the United
States, which takes the ground that American
citizens accused of crime canuot be tried by
court MARTIAL but are entitled to trial before
civil tribunals only, as secured by treaty stipu-
lation, without such reservation as is proposed
by Spain.
