CHURCH AND srArE IN GERMANY.


American Association for tho Advancement OF
Science took tho ground Tint tho present
Tontonio trouble was wholly ono-sided. It
represented tile Church aa aggressive md de-
iannt, tito atato ns reluctantly forced into n
hositating policy OF defense, Which 1t pnr-
sues with all possible lnililncss. This L. a Gu
rfous instance Of irrcligioua bigotry. 1t is
not usual to find a contest Of ,aany ycnrs' du-
ration botwocn two great bodies, ench Of
tholn mining at practically dcspotio power, in
which ono Is all right and tho other nil
wrong. Nor aro We accustomed to consider
Prussia as timorous, shrinking State, which
covers before opposition, md must
bo goalcd to tho Inst degree boforo
making feoble attempt to assert
its rights. 1t is al,nost incredible
TINT Mr.. WATSON could have drawn such n
picture. It is not only wholly improbable on
rrso7 grounds, but 1t Is nntly contmdictod
by facts. We aro indebted to tho Springfield
{a1asa.) Republican for statement takon
from Frankfort paper OF tho Government
prosecutions commcuced during tho single
month Of March unilor the Ecclesiastical lawB.
There wero between eighty and ninety Of
them. Five Bishops wcro involved. One or
two Of them were clapped into prison. At
ono fell swoop, thirty-nino priests were put
in jan for an indotinito period, because they
declined to give any evidence concerning a
"socret delegate" whom tho Pope is said to
hoyo sent them. Tho address presented to
tho Pope q fow days since, which
was signed by ono million Ger
mans, was repeatedly searched for, but
was not found. Tho fact TINT secret con.
flded to 30 many people escaped detection,
shows that the Ch,lroi, has not been enfoobled
BY persecution, after all. The Anes imposed
during March amounted To moro than II 800,
and the aggregate term Of Imprisonment to
which tho culprits were sontonced was twelve
Years. Some arrests were ,nado in the churches
and by soldiers. There wore twenty "domi-
ci1iary visits" Twolvo public meetings and 60
ciotiea were suppressed, aud fourteen school
mnsters were suspended. While Catholicism
was so harassed, freo-thinkiug preacher
who had The b!asphesnons sesnovity to declare
TINT the Bible contained errors WIS con.
denned to months imprisonment. We
commend this incident to the party In
American politics which proposes To "pui
God into tho Constitution" Such uses Of
tho courts is tho natural result Of religious
| politics. A free-thinker in jail makes mort
! free-thinkers than he over could outside Of it
All this, however, was only ono branch Of ht
strugglo. There were fifty press prosacu
tions under these same lnws during Mnrch
An If t1,or, raE1,1tn1 In ronv;rIfnru
In Wow Of thcso facts, the theory stated bJ
Mr.. WAssox may well bo sorious1y questioned
Wo aro not now discussing tho right o.
| wrong Of tho contest. Civilized men gencr
ally admit TINT religious persecution Is wrong
hut somo Of them seem 10 think that civi
persecution is quito anothor thing. Whsthe1
or not this is SO, thero aoems to bo fnt
snmplo OF tho inter within the boundaries a
the German Empire.

THE SCHOOL QUESTION IN OHIO.

It ia altogether ikely that the issue be-
tweon the Catholics aud tho public schools
will cut some figure in tho approaching Gu
bernatorial campaign in Ohio. Tho manner
OF passing tho GEanAN law {rolatiye to re-
ligous worship in raformatory and charita-
blo institutions). though entirely proper in
itself, the construction which has been put
upon it in certain quarters, md the pa1tisan-
SLIP crcntcd in tic Catholio Church, hayo nu
helped to force any issuo TINT might possibly
arise between tho Catholics aud anti -Catl-
olics, ond range themselves solidly upon op-
rosito sides. Added to tl,ogo circumstances,
tho probability Of Judge TArr's candidature
will help 70 bring in the public-s chool
question. Judge TAFT was ono Of the
JudgcB OF tho Superior Court in Cincinnati at
the timo tho controversy aroso in TINT city
relative TO tho exclusion Of tho Bible from
the public schools. Tho Board Of Education
passed resolution Which prohibited tic
reading Of tho Dibla, and those favoring ita
retoution made up II case In which tho Court
was called on to pass upon tho question. The
parport Of Judge TArrs dissenting opinion
afterwards sustained by tho Supreme Court,
was that. thoro boing nothing in tho Consti.
tuition Of tho State requiring the resding oi
tic Dibla, nor prohibiting il, it was clearly al
the discretion of tho Board to retain or CT.
clulo its use, and that tho board had not
therefore, exceeded ita province.
Since Judge TArr has been prominently
mentioned in connection with tho Republican
nomluation for Goyaruor, this decision has
been cited az indicative Of lis favoriug oitho,
division of tho school-fund between tht
Catholics and Protostants, or u release Of ths
Catholics from taxation for school purposes
Judge TAFT, In recent intoryiow with COT
respondent Ut lilo Cleveland Herald, has
finally Bet at rest all spooulations in this 10
gard. In reply TO question relative to
division OF tho Hchool-fund he quoted thu
| portion Of Ills decision In which ie hold tAa

TEE VERDICT OF THE coRoNER's jury
FUNERAL OF THE VICTIMS.
At the Delaware House, No. ,5lS
Market street, Saturday evening, the
jury Of inquest In the case of the two
Walker children, who died suddenly
(by poison it is supposedly early Friday
morning, held an adjourned session,
for the purpose Of arriving at YER
dict.
Mrs Elizabeth Reece wife of John
Reece, who was the tenapt of 1906
French street previous to Mr.. Walker)
was first sworn. In the course OF her
testimony Mrs. Reece said that a num-
ber of bottles were left behind when
they removed from No. 1905 French
street To their present residence,
Fifth and Tatnali streets. Some were
up stairs, and among these were five
which contained respectively laudan
um, castor oil, sweet oil, camphor and
Group syrup. There were also several
bottles left on shelf in the cellar, but
| they contained nothing according to
Mr. Reece's knowledge and belief. -
Her husband Johu r. Reece, being re-
called, also testified that the bottles
left In the cellar were empty,
DIR. c. w. Jones, being sworn testi.
| fed that, assisted byDr. Qnint, he had
made an instrumental examination OF
the stomachs OF the two children, and
had as carefully as time and circum-
stances would permit analyzed the
contents thereof, From the result OF
this examination he was of the opin-
ion that the children had come to their
death by taking some narcotic poison
most probably aconite.
| In the course Of his ensuing remarks
DIR. Jones, said that aconite Is poison
which will cause death In few hours
1t is used In connection with armica
helladonna, laudanum, &c, in com
pounding liniments for external appli
cation. such liniments, the Doctor
thought, should be marked according
to the nature Of their contents, SO thai
they may not be swallowed by per
SONS under the impression that they
are harmless.
| After deliberating upon the testi
money and discussing the points of thu
case, the jury rendered verdict tina,
the children's death resulted from ac
cidental poisoning.
The funeral of the two children tool
| place yesterday afternoon from thei
late home No. 1905 French street.
Suchan unusual occurrence as doubl
funeral attracted large number O
people, and hundreds who were entir
strangers to the family went to thu
house for the purpose Of looking at til,
remains. Both bodies were laid ou
Lin the same coffin, with their littl
hands clasped, and the look ofpeacefu
serenity on their childish faces whicl
moved many people to tears.
Rev. Alfred \. Scoot conducted tn,
services delivering an impressive ser
mon. The interment took place il
the Wilmington g. Brandywine ceme
terry, and the remains were followed
TO the grave by "a number Of sympa
thizing people.
Amongst those in attendance wer
