The Liberal League.

The room Of the Liberal League, In
the McClary building, was crowded yes
terday morning. The question that had
be. submitted for debate was: 'ls the
Bible in the public schools hindrance
TO progress?
DR.. W elsh opened the discussion, and
contended that the rule Of placing the
Bible In public schools, was not ques-
tion of right, but of might. The Catholics
being tax payers, and holding different
views as to the book, should not be
obliged to listen to the reading of the
book. There were others beside that
denomination that held the same views,
and by forcing the children OF such per-
sons to listen to the book tended to i'm
peded progress, rather than to advance
1t. 1t was his opipion that the book
should be abolished. Messrs. Cadwal-
lader, Prizer, Ro ybotham and Clavey,
spoke in the same strain. The meeting
was very spirited one, and lasted until
after O'Clock.

Davis, is found indorsing a colored man
for president of Southern college over
seventy white candidates. The contest
for president OF Bryan (Texas) College
