due consideration of the communications
submitted to them on the subject, and the
| report Of q committee especially charged
with it, have determined to stand steadfast
to the resolution previously taken to dispense
with reading chapter Of the Bible as part
Two test votes were taken on the issue at the
last meeting Of the Board ut one the ex-
clusion of the Bible was adhered to by q vote
OF 10 to s., and at the other by q vote Of II
to 2, two members Of the Board being ab-
sent. Thus the matter may be regarded as
disposed of for the present, and it should be
permitted to rest where it is by both those
who favor and those who oppose the reading
Of the Bible in the schools. The agitation
of the issue cannot produce any change with
the present Boud in any case, and is likely
to create bad feeling
There are two extremes in this public
school question, and, like other extremes, they
meet on common ground. On the one side
there is the ultra sentiment in the Roman
Catholic Church, the extent Of which is
variously estimated, and which demands either
that the Catholics shall be exempt from taxa
ton for school purposes, or that the school
fund shall be divided between the Protestants
and the Catholics On the other side there is
the ultra sentiment among certnin Protestant
denominations which demands that there
shall be religious exercises in the schools
for the reading of the Bible cannot be de-
nanded upon any other ground when it is
presented to immature minds. The common
ground on which these extremists meet is the
denunciation OF the public schools as god
less schools " the moment the reading Of the
Bible is dispensed with, though this is the
only compromise which can secure the un-
sectarian character Of the schools and leave
them to their Original purpose.
There is no question but both these fac
tions would be defeated if the issue were sub
mitted to popular vote, which is the theory
of our Government upon which such issues
must be decided. To begin with the ultra
Catholic sentiment, it would appear at once
to the great mass of the people that any e1-
emption Of this sect from taxation, or the
donation Of any part of the school-fund to
them for dognnatic schools, would lead to the
disruption Of the entire public-schoo1 system.
As this system is especially boon to the
masses, its preservation would receive the
popular vote. Every unfayored religious sect
would vote so1id1y against granting special
privileges to any one sect. The non-relgous
people would all oppose division Of the
fund without regard to sects. The Protestant
taxpayers would be a unit against such a
The non-tax-payers who derive
the greatest benefit from the school system
would be inclined to vote against q PROPOSE

on the Supreme Court Bench by the retire
ment Of Judge McAL11sTER to accept seat
on the Circuit Bench in this county will at
tract any general attention. The district
from which the Judge is to be elected in
cludes Cook, Lake, VIII, Kanknkee, and Du-
page Counties. The City of Chicago contains
larger population than all the remainder Of
the territory within the district, and sends
several times as many causes for the con-
sideration of the Court. Tt is proper, there
fore, that the vacancy should be filed from
the Chicago Bar. There are many other
reasons for the selection of Chicago lawyer
The city, both in its size, the conglomerate
character Of its population, and the variety
of its commercial interests, requires a sort Of
special representation in the highest judi
cial tribunal in the State. Such O
claim cannot be dismissed as sell
fish and unworthy, because one Judge
out of seven (a1l that Chicago can have in
any case) could not exert any improper infu-
ence, even if he were SO inclined, favorable
to Chicago or Chicago cases but he would
be useful to the Court and helpful to the
cause of justice in explaining the peculiar
circumstances that are apt to figure in any
case that comes from metropolis, as distin-
g11ished from the smaller cities and country
towns It is equally important, therefore,
that Chicago should be represented Oh this
account as because Of the greater population.
We hnve no doubt that the remainder of the
district will willingly concede this claim.
The next consideration should be to find
candidate who is entirely worthy the conf
dence Of the people, the peer of some Of the
able members of the Court from other parts
of the State, and one who will represent the
city creditably and honorably. The hard
work and small pay of the posi-
ton render it peculiarly difficult to
find the proper sort Of man among the law
yers of large city who can always earn more
money at the Bar. But the honor attached
to the position, and the consideration OF serv-
ing the public in the most useful of all Ca
pacities, should count for something. It is
necessary to look among the class who have
already earned q competency at the Bar, and
are willing to retire to the quieter life on the
Bench, more productive Of honors and repu-
tation. The question Of political divisions
should cut no particular figure in the case,
and, if there is more than one candidate, the
best man for the place ought to be chosen.
There is no politics in the Supreme Court,
and there ought to be none. That the Chi
cago Bar, ss q whole, is a worthy branch Of
the legal profession, is evidenced by the high
and admirable character of the Chicago
Bench aud it should be further confirmed
by sending one Of its best lawyers and one Of
its fairest men to the Supreme Bench. As
special election to fill this vacancy will not
call out large popular vote, there ought to
be no difficulty in doing this if the proper
gentlemen interest themselves in the matter.

Immediately after the sentence of Judge
Williams, applied to the Supreme Court
Of Illinois for supersedeas which was
granted, and Mr.. Storey was discharged
from custody, after an imprisonment of a
little less than ten hours
Our Courts are the sentinels that guard
and protect society and the liberties of
the people, and it is emineutly proper
that they should retain all of the power
which they exercise for the good of the
country, and that they should be protected
from the abuse and vituperation of mali
cious men; yet they should be free from
all corruption and made to feel the rebuke
of the people, whose servants they are,
whenever they go beyond the limits pre-
scribed for them or become the tools OF
bad men.
The contempt case of the Times will
now be tried in the Supreme Court Of
illinois before full bench, and the right
of the press 10 eriticise the acts OF
judges and jurors be decided and defined.
If Mr.. Storey succeeds in establishing
the truth of his assertions in regard to
that jury, in all probability the sentence
of Judge Williams will be revoked.

The Pope has recently nominated SIX new
members for theSacred College Of cardin ais,
among them appears the lame of John
McCloskey, archbishop Of the See Of New
York.
He was born in Brooklyn. N. Y, March
20 1910. He graduated at Mount ST.
Mary's College, Emme,tsburg Maryland,
and after theological course of study, took
upon himself the vows, and received the
orders Of priesthood January 9. 1884. He
spent subsequently, three years abroad in
severe study and preparation for the duties
Of bis holy Office; two at Rome and one in
France. Ga his return to America he was
speedily appointed to the rectorship Of st.
Joseph's Church, New York. In 1S4l he
was appointed by Bishop Hughes first pres
ident Of St. Johns college, Fordham, but
| returned, after one year, to the rectorship
Of St. Joseph's. In 1843 lie wac, at the
request of Bishop Hughes, appointed his
coadjutor, and received conservation under
The title OF Bishop of A1iere, March 10,
1874. The division of the diocese of New
York which occurred in Ia created the
diocese of Albany, to the first bishopric Of
which bishop McCloskey was appointed in
May Of that year. He was appointed to the
See of New York made vacant by the death
Of A -chbi-hop Hughes, May 6, 1864, and
was raised to the highest honor within the
gift of the Pope, viz. that of a Cardinal,
on the 9th day of March 1875.
His red hath insignia of his high rank =,
and the symbol of bis devotion to the cause
Of the church, sven to the shedding of his
own blood, awaits him at Rome. unless the
marked honor is further shown him, by the
Pope, of sending it by special messenger,
an honor seldom conferred, save where the
appointees are members of royal houses.
The hat is usually presented from the
pope's own hands, and many a priest has
journeyed half round the globe, on inform
alton that the ha. awaited him at the Vati-
can. Should the further honor of sending
the bat be accorded by the Pope, itwould
be hailed as a gracious ackno edgment of
the dignity of republican people, whose
only royalty consists in manhood.

NEXT to the assembling Of Congress
people have learned to dread the approach
IF the few days that precede its dissolu
ZION, for of late years it has become the
common practice of certain disreputable
members and lobbyists to take advantage
Of the hurry and disorder which char
acterizes the close ola session Of Congress,
n push through bills which have not
sufficient merit u bear the light OF pub
lie discussion, and almost invariably
meet with the disaprobation Of the pco-
pie. The famous or rather infamous
Salary Grab Bill was Of this charac-
ter, and the many bitter denunciations
which it received should have been sufi-
Gent to make Congressman little more
cautious in the future, yet We find them
doing the same thing again at the close
Of the last session.
The bill advancing the postal rates on
book, pamphlets, and other miscellaneous
mail matter was drawn up and forced
through BY a few autocratic express men,
for the purpose of doing the forwarding
IF all small packages that have previously
been forwarded by mail. The cost now
OF sending a newspaper to friend in
any portion of the United States is
about double that Of sending one from
New Y ork to London. The express
companies evidently did not wish to
carry aud deliver transient newspapers,
but the eagerness with which they forced
the passage of this bill blinded them to
their own interests, and Congress will
doubtless correct its error, at its next
session, in regard to the cost of forward
ing newspapers; and if it accedes to the
wishes of the people it will relieve the
express companies of the monopoly they
enjoy III carrying books and small packa-
yes.

New York Evening Post.
The FIRST annual report Of Mr.. Neil Gil
mour, Superintendent of Public Instruction
Of this State, just submitted. shows that
there are ll,7sl school building, in the
State, their aggregate value being about
$50, 100000. Nearly $4,000, 900 were e1-
pended last year for new school houses or
for repairs, and the whole cost Of carrying
on the schools WAS sIl ,0S8,98l. l,224, 32l
persons received instruction during some
part of the year, the whole number of per
sons within the school age being 1896, SAG
The aggregate attendance at the common
schools was l,044 .364, and the average
daily attendance. 5l5,2I5. 10000 teachers
were employed, whose aggregate salaries
amount TO S., 800 900. The amount of
State school moneys for the present year is
81 sS4, GA 81, and the distribution will be
effected earlier than usual. The school dis
trict libraries are reported i'll very imperfect
condition, and system Of town libraries is
suggested as preferable. The usual work
Of the teachers Institutes, which have been
held in all but two Of the counties, at a
cost Of ST. 900, ia commended. The Ncr-
mai Schools are successfully mentioned and
approved, and the plan Of supervision by
School Commissioners is sustained.
The report Gays nothing on the subject
Of unifYing our educational management
The Superintendent is not altogether op-
posed to the theory of compulsory educa-
ton, and does not regard the system as un-
constitutional. At the same time he thinks
compulsory attendance cannot be put into
successful operation at ouce,-in fact, not
until some years of preparation the leg
is|ature meantime insrrng ample accommo-
datioDs, together with provision for the care
OF truants and Migrants. In about half
IT, cities and towns of the State formal
compliance with the compulsory law Of last
year has beeen undertaken. in few in
stances something more than formal obser-
vance has been attempted; in the rest
nothing at all has been done. Without
recommending the repeal of the law, the
Superintendent urges amendments to rene
DIV its defects. In case it should be repeat.
ed, he recommends that the free-schoo
system be supplemented by practical tru-
ancy and vagrancy act, and by the estab-
liehment of night schools in cities and
manufacturing villages.
