the Geaghan and similar bills G
and their coun;er-irritants, the Gray Nuns t
acts, and the movements for their repeal,
ETC., we come to the proposition OF Rev.
e. o. Haven. leading Methodist clergy
man and chancellor of the Syracuse Uni !
versiy.
1t may be promised that proposition ia
being considered to amend the constitution
of the state of New York, prohibiting the
application of the money or the credit of
the state to the support of SCHOOLS under
"the control of any religious sect or de-
nomination." being substantially the
proposition of the president and the ex-
sneaker. except that it is proposed TO make
it a part of the state, instead of the national,
constitution. Now Mr.. Haven objects to
this, as well as to all the other propositions
He processes himself to be in favor of free
public schools, and Of maintaining them
" entirely impartial and unsectarian," but
he sees in all of these propositions an evil |
dent inten; and desire to discriminate
against religious people," and he takes
pains to say, AS illustrating the force OF this
objection, that the passage of OBrens
amendment would tend to make all min
listers of religion hate their country" be-
cause 1t would "take away part of his
Z" means of securing livclihood"-an ar
gument which We hardly think the clergy
will thank him for using for we very
much doubt whether their love of country
depends upon the hopes Of political pre-
lerment, or that they entered the ministry
with the intent of making it stepping
stone for secular Office or that they regard
political position as "part of their means
" of securing a livelihood"
He further objects TO these proposed
amendments because while leglsating
against peculiar privileges" to Catholics,
Ouakers, or Methodists, it permits the
granting of public ard to schools establish
ed by agricultural societies, the grangers,
masons, oddfellows, woman's rights clubs,
"bapds of good fellows" or any other i'm
aginablc body or individual and he there
fore proposes that the constitution shall be
so amended as to provide that "Neither
"thc money nor the credit OF the state,
, " nor of any municipal corporation, town
{" or county, shall be applied to the snip
port of any school or schools not wholly
" owned by and under the control of sale
