Tho KlddIe Religion.

In another column we print somewhat
elaborate statement of the case of Mr..
Kiddle, by one who justifies his eccen-
tricities and believes he should be retained
in his present position. This defender is q
principal of ono Of our public schools.
His defence is of value and interest to the
public as an evidence of what can be said
in favor of the Superintendent. and as .
picture of the working of the minds Of
those who believe in him. Our correspond
ent seems to start with the assumption
that we have urged the removal OF Mr..
Riddle because he has "changed his re-
lipious views" and become a Spiritualist,
which seems to indicate that he proposes
to answer what we have said without having
read it. Our objection to Mr.. Kiddle is much
sim pier. 1t is that he is either an impostor
or an imbecile, and that neither one nor
the other of these is fit to be at the head of
q great educational system. If Mr.. kiddle
does not believe in the reality of the reve-
lations which he pretcnds to have received
from beings in higher state of existence;
if he has printed as heavenly revelations
stuff that he is not thoroughly convinced
was communicated from above for some
divine purpose, he Is mere impostor, the
worst kind of cheat. But II he does be-
lieve that what he has printed was COM
The New York herald., 1879-09-14
The New York Exaibition, 1888.

As this date seems to have been decided
upon for the next international exhibition,
as as'originally suggested by this journal. the
Importance of immediate action is self
evident. Up to the present time no inter-
national exhibition has been complete and
ready on the opening or even for months
afterward With this experience before us
there can be no excuse for any delay
in New York. Let us have the great credit
of being in perfect order, with catalogue
complete and printed when the Exhibition
opens. To secure this result oil that is
needed is thorough organization, each de-
partment with responsible head, in whom
its sole management should rest. There is
no difficulty in the way, but on the con-
secured, experience having shown the inn
portance of promptness. But now is the
time to organize, and we would respectfully
suggest to the able gentlemen having the
matter in charge that it will be none too
soon to commence the building next spring.
This question of building is on important
one and requires careful consideration. It
is matter to be carefully weighed as to the
necessity or advsability of more than one
building. While the architecture ofthe Paris
Exhibition building Of 1867 was not very
attractive the arrangement of the exhibits
gave more general satisfaction than any ex-
hibition before or since. On the other
hand, at Philadelphia the variety of build
ings and their distances apart led to much
discomfort and complaint. An oblong
building, three thousand feet by one thou
sand, located on the banks of the Hudson,
with the facade of one side Immediately on
the river, could certainly be made archi-
tecturally beautiful. For the interior the
French oval plan could be adopted, the
space left in the four corners being utilized
for the nations of the four continents
Thus could be secured beauty and
a perfect adaptability to the desired
result. Commencing with garden
in the centre (as at Paris), art occupying
the first gallery, the various products of oil
nations could then be seen with perfect
facility under one roof, till in the exterior
gallery should be found machinery in mo-
ton. In this plan the heaviest articles
would be moved the shortest distance. If
located upon the Hudson every facility
would be afforded for the easy delivery of
articles direct from foreign ships into the
exhibition by travelling cranes extending
over the railroad on temporary platforms.
The importance of immediate decision as
to location is rendered necessary for the
proper ornamentation of the grounds,
