The question of sectarianisln in the pub
lie schools Of Chicago, W hitch has caused good
deal Of bitter feeling IN that city, has been de-
cisively arted upon by the local Board Of Edu-
cation One Of the rules for the management
OF the schools pro yided that the morning ser
vice should always be gin with appropriate sing
ing, reading OF the Scriptures, Hnd the Lords
Prayer. This was Objectionable to the Jews,
who numerous and lnfu ential in Chicago, to
the Roman Catholics, who do not recognize the
Protestant version Of the Bible, and to the non
sectarians, who did not want religion mixed
with secular education and all OF these classes
maint 4ined that the reading OF the Scriptures
was contrary TO the spirit OF the Constitution.
Last week motion was made to abolish this
rule and SUD stitute for II one that provides for
appropriate singing only, emitting the Bible
reading aud the Lords Prayer, and II was car
ried with but one dissenting vote. ThIs has
called forth energ etic remembrance from some
Of the religious leaders, but several Protestant
cerRymen, among them the Rev. Dr. SWING
and the Rev. ROBERT COLLYER, sustain the
action Of the board, some OH the ground that II
Is only Just tn at the feelings OF those who con-
scientiously oppose the Bible In the public
schools should be respected, and others Ia the
belief that the comp lete secularizaton Of
schools Is the only safe policy.

1t seems that policemen and firemen are
again being made the victims Of politicians who
ask them to contribute TO the support OF poiti-
cal organizations, while at the same time mys-
terious warnings are uttered that II they fail to
comply with such demands, they will be
bounced" or made TO suffer in some way. The
influence Of this system Of blsckmailing cannot
be otherwise than demoralizing in the extreme
yet for long time It has been carried on for the
benent Of the Custom House politicians, not
withstanding that the city Is Democratic by a
very great majority. The Assembly Committee
on Crime will do well 20 give this subject their
immediate attention, and ascertain what police
officials II any, have participated in or connived
at such rascaly transactions.

Beechcr Guilty. but in the Main Good Man

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Your
conviction Of the guilt Of Mr.. Beecher has
blinded you to what there is really good in the
man. My own judgment Of him, based on his
writings and strengthened by years, IL that he Is
In the main superlatively good man. Though
not a religionist In any sense OF the word, yet
acknowledge having derived impulses from him
In the direction Of religion and right living such
as have derived from no other man that now
lives or ever lived. Aud vet with you | believe
him guilty Of the crime OF adultery. l cannot
help so reasoning from the evidence. l don't
know how to reconcile such a conclusion, forced
upon me by the trial, with the equally strong as
surance derived from his sermons and writings
Of his goodness in the main and can only fall
back upon the huIn1num est eTrore plea.
Yours, truly ". X. JUDD.

Brother HARLAN, who wants to be chosen
Senator again from Iowa. has taken the stump
in that State for the Republican ticket, and In
his speeches Is careful to impress upon his hear
ers the Importance Of sending TO the Senate a
man who is opposed to disunion. He takes a
mournful view OF the prospect, and expresses
the opinion that II the Democrats 90 on as they
have begun, and gain line Of States extending
from the borders OF Delaware TO the Pacific, 1t
would be impossible even for a LOYAL President
20 suppress rebellion, the probability OF which
appears to weigh like nightmare upon the rev.
erend statesman's breast. His speeches on the
whole, as reported In tho GRANT organs, are
dun and tedious, for which there is no excuse.
since, n he had only told the people all he
knows about the Indian Ring and his little
check transaction with the Pacific Railroad
folks, he would undoubtedly have greatly inter-
ested bis hearers. He was announced TO speak
In Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday last, and the
Marion County Democrat, In calling attention TO
the fact, cheerly says Let all true Republl-
cans come out and hear the great $l0,0OO Credit
Mobllier gouRer." II Brother HARLAN will only
continue actively at work throughout the pend
ing canvass, he will doubtless gain many votes
for the ticket he opposes.

New York is probably the only city In
the world where the police are pu bic instruc-
tors In the art Of crime. On Saturday last, at
about three o'clock Ia the afternoon, a large
LOAD Of ratans was passing from Broadway into
Liberty street. A tall policeman stood on the
corner. The instant the drivers back was
turned, this oficer pulled jsck-knife from his
pocket, sprang into the street. and selling one
OF the best-lookinR ratans on the cart, stealthiy
cut OF a piece long enough to make a nice hand
switch. 1t Is interesting TO reflect how alert
this same policeman would have been In arrest
ing small boy for stealing an apple, or a starv
ing man for the theft OF a loaf OF bread.

The Federal offioeholders i'm st. Louis
must be very obtuse set, or they would have
turned out In force at the recent sale of Gen.
GRANTS live stock, and prevented the alarming
sacrifice OF chargers and thorouRhbreds which
took place on that melancholy occasion. 1t is
mournful to think OF Gen. GRANTS war steed
vicksburg knocked OF at the ridionlously low
figure Of ifty-six dollers, and absolutely hui
initiating to read that an animal which has been
the favorite saddle horse OF the President OF the
United States passed into the possession OF a
ooored citizen for the merely nominal price Of
ten dollars in currency. We fear the crusade
instituted against the Whlskey Ring OF st. Louis
by Secretary BRIsrow has demoralized and dis
couraged the whole officeholding brigade In that
city.

We are rather sorry for Brother Grow
Of Texas aud Pennsylvania. lie has been
caught In the trap which the GRANT men have
set, and they have got him. They want to stop
the mighty political revolution which Is driving
them all out Of power, and for this purpose tn ey
have set up 4 noisy rumpus about specie pay
ments and imitation. Being an honest man,
GBow thinks this means something practical,
and that II these rascas are turned out, their
successors will do nothing at all but print paper
money. Every sensible man knows that there IL
nothing in this cry, aud that there will DO just
as much paper money in one case as In the other,
and no more; tut Grow does not see 1t in that
way, and he Is exerting himself TO keep the
rascals In power. II won't make tue least differ
ence, because the revolution is bound to go
ahead any way but We are sorry for Brother
GROW all the same.

An interesting geological theory has
lately been the subject OF discussion IN the for
eign Journals. An eminent scientist, II seems,
has made the curious calculation that every
year as-horse power OF work-hsat me ming
work got rid OF from every 241 acres OF the
surface Of the globe; and that the dissipation Of
energy and the contraction Of rocks not being
uniform, tho effect Of these disturbing causes II
to produce horizontal thrusts, which form
mountain ranges by crimpling up tho earth,
mountains being formed by this crump action
rathnr than by direct volcanic or other upheaval,
This theory also assumes that the changes pro-
duced by such contraction are slow, and that
there is every reason for believing that tho sea
hoors and continents now existing are extreme
ly old, geographically speaking, so far as their
present forms or oonaguration are concerned.
An illustration OF this Is cited In the case Of
snowdon, the loftiest mountain IN Wales and
South Britain. The upper part consists Of seq
sand, fossil SEQ fishes, and volcanic ashes, all

An Englshman" thinks we ought TO
establish large standing array In this country.
He says II would enable poor men out Of em-
plovment TO and the means Of livelihood, In
stead OF becoming idlers, tramps, Migrants,
paupers, criminals, beggars, or dependents upon
charity. They would enter the military service,
and thus keep out Of worse ways. This EnRlish-
man takes a wrong view OF things. Under ordi-
nary circumstances, this country Is aud always
has been ab lie to give employment to all men
who are willing TO work. 1t is important to the
country and It's welfare that all its capable
worke rs should be engaged in productive in
dustry-industry that increases the aggregate
wealth while furnishing the means OF comfort
and enjoyment TO its people. Now, soldiers are
not merely non producers themselves, but the
industry of other men is required for their sup
port. They do not earn their own food, cloth
Ing, weapons, and pay, but get them out Of the
earnings Of others. The army IL thus tax upon
the working and producing classes, and the
larger the army the heavier the tax. Besides, we
have no use for large standing army. Ger
many. Russia, Engl md, aud 9th err European
countries may need great armies and navies, but
our situation and circum stances are different
from those OF such nations.
The fact Is, that these bard tim es for labor In
this country are uncom mon and abnormal.
They have been brought about by the enormous
impoverlshm ent Of the people in the civil war,
by polit cal stupidity and corruption, by financial
tomfool ry, by the gambling and swindllnR
operations OF men who have thrown our bust
ness and industrial machinery into disorder, and
by the extravaga Mt habits Of the newly enriched
class. We shall get over them. Business and
industry will again be active as formerly the
country will enjoy prosperity, and there will be
work for every man who seeks It,

Parents Relations to Schools. No. IS.

Still another important suggestion to pa
rents in this connection is tho permanency
of their teachers. If any are so unfortunate
as to select a poor teacher for their school,
the quicker she is exchanged the better for
all concerned but if efficient and desirable,
let her be retained as long as possible. The
habit OF changing teachers, as practiced in
many districts. twice or three times every
year, is %ruinous to the school. What can
the teacher, who enters the school for one
term only, know Of the character and pecu-
l~iarities Of her pupilsH What motive can
she have to adopt and attempt to carry out
a systematic course Of instruction, when she
knows that her successor will be likely to
introduce an entirely different course ? What
car awaken interest in her pupils, or euthu-
siasm 10 herself, when she realizes that her
work may be undone as soon as she leaves
it2 And what can the school do TO advan-
tage, when nearly all their time is spent in
experimenting upon new theories and meth
DDS Of instruction.
But with the permanent teacher, every
thing is different. On re.opening her school
after a vacation, she is cordially greeted by
loving aud coD6diug pupils. She knows ev-
cry class and every scholar, and understands
their peculiaritieb and wants. On the day
Of opening, the school can be completely or
ganized, aud in good working order. All
enter upon their duties with interest and
zeal and the experience Of previous terms
in the same position enables the teacher to
adopt her instruction to the character and
standing Of her pupils, and the best results
are realized.
So it is in every kind Of business, as all
understand. No business firm would, II they
could avoid it, allow a quarterly exchange
Of boOk-keepers in their mercantile houses,
Of agents aud overseers in their factories, OF
6nanciers in their banks, Of masters for their
merchantmen, Of commanders for their iron
clads, or Of engineers for their railroads,
Business men make no such blundsrs. And
yet the changes here indicated would be no
more disastrous than frequent changes Of
teachers. We need first efficiency, and then

Bismarck.

Undoubtedly Prince Bismarck, Of Prus-
STA, the head secretary of Emperor William,
is one of the greatest men Of the age. He
has a strong mind, a keen foresight Of COM
ing political events, and can readily discern
their significance. In short, is a mar Of
great natural abilities and power. HIS in
fuence to-day is felt over the civilized world.
Such men are liable to have the strongest Of
friends, and the bitterest Of enemies. He
entertains advanced views upon questions Of
national policy. Probably all Europe both
fear and admire him. AS relates to the
vigor of his policy, his fearlessness, and his
executive ability, he reminds one Of Bona
parte. But we hope he has none OF Bona
parties unholy ambition. He seems, like all
true patriots, to be entirely devoted to his
country-ever endeavoring to advance its in
telIigence and its general prosperity. He ap-
pears to think that the Papal Church has
heretofore exercised undue influence and au-
thority over the interests of Prussia, and has
thus taken the matter in hand, whether wisely
or not, remains to be seen. He probably sees
at home the same great hindranecs to true
national prosperity that all great statesmen
see sooner or later, namely, the evils of ignO-
rance and gross superstition among the peO'
pie. We refer to this great man at this
time because he Is doing a good work fol
liberty,-a thing we Americans ever take a
deep interest in.

Philadelphia Hotels.

The Philadelphia Press has canvassed the
hotels of hat city with a view to asce rtain-
ing the extent Of the accommoda tions which
they will be able to furnish the visitors to
the Centennial next year, and the purposes
Of the proprietOrs 10 regard to advancing
their rates. As TO the former point reports
are presented from twenty-nine hotels, able
at present to accommodate 1862 guests, and
expecting to provide for il 1915 during the
Centennial. 10 som cases additions are to
be constructed to provide for the unusual
number of guests, but in q large number Of
cases no hint is given Of any purpose of en-
largement and the elastic capacity Of ac-
commodation given by the landlords is dis
mally suggestive Of cots and sofa beds, and
mattresses on the floor. Sardines are loosely
thrown together in comparison with the CEN
tennial guests, as the Philadelphia Bonifaces
will pack them. As to the matter of
charges, the hotel-keepers, without excep-
ton, disavow any intention Of extortion,
though hints are thrown out as to q probable
rise in provisions about that time, which
may compel the landlords, with unfeigned
reluctance, to push up their rates a dollar or
so q day and an intimation is given that
about FIVE dollars a day will be considered
the thing. Even at this modest rate there
is undeniably a good margin for profit to the
landlords. Evidently, Philadelphia doesn't
calculate that al of the two millions she is
putting into the Centennial is going to be
lost.
