Notes from the Religious Press.

The Evangelist thinks the alliance of Re
formed or Presbyterian churches recently
formed in London, if successfully carried
out will tend to make these churches more
thoroughly acquainted with each other and
diminish any misapprehensions or local
jealousies and rivalries that may exist. A
splendid and useful future is looked forward
to for the alliance. The Christian Intelligencer
reaches out a helping hand and says a good
word for the temperance workers in Ireland,
where it says there is far less whiskey con-
sumed, in proportion to the number of
people, than in England and Scotland. The
Temperance Association of Ireland have
issued an appeal to the ministers of the
land to unite in advancing its cause.
The liquor manufacturers and vend-
ers have organized in defence of their
business, and hence the HteHigencer would
have every lover of Ireland and of tenn
perance engaged in the crusade against
rum. The Observer calls attention to the fact
or the rumor that Roman Catholics are COM
bining to present a solid phalanx at the polls
in order TO elect candidates who will give
them what they demand of the peoples
money and put them in positions to further
any and all of their strictly sectarian ends.
This subject was discussed recently at the
meeting at Sea Grove, near Cape May, and
resolutions were adopted pledging the sup
porters to oppose any union of Church and
State or any interference with our public
schools In these purposes, the Observer
thinks, every Protestant ought to unite
The Methodist publishes an original letter;
written in 1854 by the late Bishop Capers, in
which he predicts the downfall of slavery
and pleads for the reunion of the two Meth
odisms. The Methodist believes that when
the dead speak to us as from their graves the
time for such reunion is not far distant. The
Baltimore Episcopal Methodist lays the lash
on Southern fre-eater, who has written
against differentiation This is the only out
spoken paper in all the South on this ques-
ton, and the editor declares that notwith-
standing the opposition the cause is growing
| and strengthening all over the South. In

handed of our public school system if the
schools are properly managed. That it has
not been attained in the past is no argument
against its attainability. In a city like this
the free schools and free academies should
surpass even the universities of England and
the Continent in their special as well as their
general advantages. The public schools of
New York city should exhibit curriculum
the highest in the world Had not political
interests and religious antipathies entered
into their management even this high ideal
would be no longer predetermined, nor should
we have occasion TO speak of it as a thing
desirable in itself but difficult Of attainment
The trouble has been that weak and ignorant
men have been intrusted with the highest
duty which the people can devolve
upon any citizen, and the comparative
failure of our common school system is
TO be attributed as much to feeble
administration within as TO opposition from
without. The way TO make the public schools
successful is to make them fully adequate to
the purposes for which they are intended,
and this is completely in the hands and
unueT inc cOnJIOl Oh Tue DOdTu OF
If this is done with half the zeal and wisdom
and intelligence that ought to be shown the
opposition to the common school system
which has grown so immensely in the last
few years will soon die out; for there can be
no competition between the public and the
parochial or sectarian schools if the popular
trust is wisely, honestly and earnestly adj
ministered.
After saying all this we have another word
to add, which cannot be left unsaid In
this matter the people have duty to perform
which cannot safely go unperformed. 1t
will not do any longer to take the instruction
and discipline of the public schools upon
trust. Every parent ought to know the
teacher of his children and all the surround
ings and associations of the schoolroom.
Each block should have its visiting commit
tee, and there should be no secrets
and no abuses in the schools IN
known in the families of those who de-
pend upon them for the education of their
children. Every school, from the lowest to
the highest, should be carefully watched
and jealously guarded, not by the officials
alone, but by the citizens. Until this is done
we cannot expect that excellence we have q
right to demand; but if new spirit enters
the people with the beginning of the new
school year-if, at last, we all determine
that our school system shall be indeed
worthy of this imperial city-the next annual
report of the Board of Education will show
very different state of affairs from that which
exists at present. We now have the oppor-
tunity and the experiment is well worth the
making.

In time we shall probably have the Custom
House and the Merchants Exchange What
the Bank of England quarter is to London,
what the Bourse is to Paris, the Post Office
is to New York. This is the heart of the city,
and it will so continue for generations.
We repeat that there is no reason why real
estate should not continue to be now, as in
the past, an investment in every respect Sc
cure and sure to grow in value as our city
grows in metropolitan strength and pros
perity But the owners of real estate must
learn from the events of the past few months
that it is foolish to speculate in this interest.
In fact, all the troubles that we now en-
counter are from speculation.

PuInft Topics To-Day.

The reopening of the churches and the re-
turn of the ministers give promise, even thus
early, of the religious campaign that may be
looked for during this fall and winter. 1t is
to be an onslaught all along the line against
sin and Satan, and glorious victories are an
ticipated. Messrs. Moody and Sankey will
be here few weeks hence to lead the assault,
and already ''the messenger of the Judgment
dispensation" has laid his plans for ''the APP
preaching mighty destruction of the word. ="
Habbakuk's prayer will be in many hearts
and on many lips these days, and Mr.. Lloyd
does we'll to remind his people of the work
that is implied in that prayer, as we'll as to
indicate to them how they may be saved
from wreck and ruin on boards and broken
pieces of the ship as Paul was Mr. Hawthorne
will tell his people how to treat their enemies
and thereby to illustrate the power of Chris
tan living, and Professor Loutrel will show
the value of forgiveness to the common
people and to all others. The reign of
Christ concerning which Mr.. Hitchcock will
speak this morning, will hardly be intro
duced so long as intemperance and other
evils prevail as they do. Mr.. Llghtbourn
and Mrs. DIR. Lozier will, therefore, indicate
what are our duties as Christians and citizens
on this great question. While others are
strongly contending for uniformity in unity
Mr.. l.. H. Saunders maintains that variety
in unity is the law of the Church of Christ.
Mr.. Wiggin will 60 into some speculations
on the weight of the soul, the idea being,
doubtless, to show that it has weight and is,
therefore, matter, and consequently dies with
the body-a very favorite theory with many
persons in these days and one that has had
some ventilation in the columns of the
HERALD But with so many eminently pious
and practical themes before them the readers
of the HERALD will not object to little
speculation now and then even about their
elmer man"

it useless to urge the duty of providing for
the greater security of life in these places, as

RAPID TRANSIT. The problem of rapid
transit, which has been provoking one for
many years, it seems has been solved at last,
and in way that is likely to prove satisfac-
tory to most of our citizens. Instead of a
single line three routes have been chosen,
one for the east side by the way of Second or
Third avenue, and the others through Sixth
and Ninth avenues. No streets could be
named which would more completely meet
the wants of the majority of the people Of
New York, and if the roads are as satisfac-
tory as the routes which have been chosen

RoBBERrEs. We print this morning series
of interesting robberies yesterday in different
parts of the city, and congratulate the Police
Department on the escape of all or most of
the thieves. 1t is so seldom that an arrest is
made nowadays that we commend the list to
the Superintendent and suggest that he ar
rest somebody for one or other of the Of
fences. 1t would be genuine surprise if
the municipal police should succeed in
catching thief.

WEST PorNT MILITARY ACADEMY.
annual report Of the Board of Visitors TO the
Military Academy at West Point is made
public this morning 1t contains a number
of valuable and important suggestions, which
will commend themselves to Congress and
the country There is every reason why the
highest possible standard should be main
tanned for this institution, and we hope that
anything which may be lacking TO the
Academy will be promptly supplied to en-
able it to maintain its high rank. More pro-
fessors and professorships are needed and a
fuller curriculum in natural science and
modern languages. The American soldier
ought to be scholar as well, and the best
way to make him one is to enlarge the facili-
ties of the West Point Academy.

been gravitating visibly more and more, to-
ward the vanishing point of faith in the SUI

PROPOSITION TO EMPLOY IT As MEANS OF COM
MUNIcATIoN BETWEEN IoE-I.ocKED PHILADELPHIA
AND THE sEA-THE ADVANTAGES IT OFFERS.
The Philadelphia Eoening Telegraph is impress
sei with an opportunity for communication be-
tween that city and the sea which is offered by
the Penra. Il Del r.. R., and which was fully set
forth in these columns some months ago Ad-
dressing itself to the present necessity the Tel
egrdph says
This ice difficulty is one that our citizens must
acknowledge, and those who wond advance the
commercial interests OF Philadelphia should
rather than seek to blind themselves to this mat
ter adopt the only practicable means of over
coming it, or rather of getting around land the
best plan that could be adopted would be to pro-
vide for the landing of cargoes at the river ter
minus of the Pennsylyania and Delaware rail-
road at Delaware City, during the winter.
Freight can be carried by this road and by the
Pennsylvania railroad from Delaware City to
Philadelphia in very short time and at very
small cost, and petroleum and all other articles
of export could be with equal facility and cheap
ness sent to Delaware City to be shipped abroad.
Indeed. 30 far as petroleum is concerned, and it
is very important article of export, it could be
diverted at Pomcroy and sent to Delaware City at
about the same cost for freight that would be in
cured by sending it to this city.
We have no doubt that our shipping merchants
have already thought favorably Of this plan. In,
deed, we may say that the Pennsylvania and
Delaware Railroad was designed to obyiate the
difficulty in question-that it grew out of the
necessity for successfully carrying on our for
eign and coastwise trade during the winter
months, and We doubt not this necessity will be
the means Of building up very large bushes.
the American Steamship Company and the Red
Star Line will ere long, make Delaware City
their landing place in winter.

The city Lamps.

10 Tie Editor Of Tie Commercial
Several weeks have now elapsed since the
present contractor assumed the care and man
agement of the lighting of the city lamps. He
should by this time have made himself familiar
with his duties, it being presumed that he uii-
stood what was required of him at the time the
contract was awarded him. Yet tine lamps are
oftentimes neglected in many parts of the city.
some of them not being lighted on the darkest
nights and I think am warranted in the state
ment that since the change there has not been
a single night when all the lamps throughout
the city have been burning. The lamplighter is
required to keep the lamps clean, but it may be
seen anywhere that this duty is not performed.
The lamps are in filthy condition, the rays of
light struggling through the smoked glass with
difficulty / certainly think, Mr.. Editor, the
Lamp Committee should give its attention to
this matter and require the contractor to per-
form his whole duty. OBSERVER.
