The School War in Belgium.
CINCINNATI Gazette.

Two years ago there was no more
thoroughly Catholic State in Europe
than Belgium, and there has since been
no large departure from the faith of
the church, yet a movement has been
gong on which must practically, if not
ostenslbly, result in weakening the ties
between the spiritual and secular pow
ers: In 1879 the clergy were deprived
OF OF the right they had always enjoyed of
lie schools. Henceforth the teachers
were to have full control of secular in
structiOn; religious instruction being
confined Out-ofschool hours, though
the school hours might be used for the
purpose, and all denominations were
put on an equal footing. This change
was bitterly opposed by the clergy, and
It's passage through the two houses of
parliament, effected only by the small
majority of two in the upper and nine
III the lower house, was attended by very
exciting scenes. The Bishops and their
subOrdinates did not cease their warfare
when the bill became law. They re-
fused absOlutiOn and the sacraments to
the teachers and older attendants on
the national schools, and the parents of
the younger children, and storted OPP
position schools of their own. Yet when
they had done all, they had succeeded
in frightening only few very few
instructors, and III getting about one
third Of the children into the
church schools. Thus obedient
Catholics are in the minority, and this
in a kingdom where there are less
than 10000 avowed Protestants and 9th
er dissenters. This bold reputation
of ecclesiastical authority has not
been followed by a reaction, for
the Liberal majority in the lower house
is this year three larger than last year.
The Pope and the Belgian Government
are not just now in very good accord,
although the former has rebuked the
excessive violence ofsome of the bishops
and has even disposed one whose zeal
betrayed him into the disobedience Of
orders from Rome. Whatever form
the movement may assume hereafter,
it is not likely that harmony will be
reached unless by greater concessions
than either side is at present disposed
to make.

THE soldiers monument was dedicated
at Geneva, with imposing ceremonial
speeches by Gen. Garfield, congressman
Conger, Orth and Harrison, Gen. Streight
and others. Garfield's speech was as fol-
lows:
Fellow-citizens: These gentleman had
no right to print in paper here that |
was to make a speech, for the types ought
always tell the TRUTH and they have not
done it in this case; but | can not look out
upon great audience in Ashtabula
county recognizing SO many old faces and
old friends, without at least making my
bow to them, and saying good-by before l
go. / can not hear such 4 speech as that
to which have Just listened without thank.
ing the man who made it and the people
who enabled him to make it, for, after all
no man can make a speech alone 1t is
the great human power than strikes up
from a thousand minds that acts
upon him and makes the speech. 1t Origi-
mated with those outside of him, if he
makes one at all, and every man that has
stood on this platform to-day has had a
speech made out of him by you and by
what is yonder on your square. That is
the way speeches are made, and if | had
time to stay here long enough these forces
with you might make one out of me. Ideas
are the only thing il this universe that are
immortal. Some people think that sol
diers are chiefly renowned for courage.
That is one of the cheapest and cOmmOnest
qualities. We share it with the brutes.
| can find you dogs and bears and lions
that will fight, and fight to the death, and
will tear each other. Do you call that
warfare? They are as courageous as any
of the soldiers, if mere brute courage is
yIot ha
tween them.and US is this: Tigers never
hold reunions to celebrate their victories.
When they have eaten the creature they
have killed, that is the only reunion they
ever hold. Wild beasts never build mon
uments over their slain comrades. Why?
Because there are no ideas behind their
warfare. Our race has ideas, and because
ideas are immortal, they are true, we
build monuments to them. We hold re-
unions, not for the dead, for there is moth
ing on all the earth that you and can do
for the dead-they are past our help, and
past our praise. We can add to them no
glory, and can give to them no immortal
ty. They do not need us, but forever and
forever more we need them. The glory
that trailed in the clouds behind them after
their sun had set falls with its benediction
upon US who are living and it is to COM
mtluOTdte the Immortality OI the Iuels IOI
which they fought that you assemble to-
day and dedicate your monument that
points up toward the God that leads them
in the glory of the great world beyond.
And around those ideas, under the leader
ship of the Immortality of those ideas. we
assembled to-day reverentIy to follow, rev.
erently to acknowledge the glory they
achieved and the benediction they left be-
hind them. That is the meaning of an as
sembly like this, and to join it, to meet
you, my old neighbors and constituents, to

CablegraIns.

THE condition of Mr.. Gladstone is un-
changed, there being no increase in the
fever.
GEN. ROBERTS Is marching to the relief
of Candahar at the head Of ten thousand
men.
A LARGE body of troops has been ordered
to Ireland by the British cabinet, in view
of possible disturbances there
GLADSTONE is improving. His lung
congestion has ceased, and he is free from
fever
Mr.. GLADsToNE's physicians report that
his fever has diminished and that his con
dition is now satisfactory.
SIR BARTLE FRERE, governor Of the
Cape of Good Hope, has at last been re-
called
GEN. ROBERTS with 5000 men has left
Cabul for Candahar, which it will take him
a month to reach.
THE queen has approved the appoint
ment of Sir Hercules Robinson, present
governor of New Zealand, TO be governor
of Cape Of Good Hope, vice Sir Bartle
Frere.
MILITARY preparations are being pushed
in the Balkan peninsula, by Turks, Mon
tenegrins and Bulgarians. The Armeni-
ans, who have always been loyal to the
porte, are now developing strong Russian
tendencies.
A CIRCULAR recently distributed in Tur-
kish military circles what purports to be
an account of the battle between Gen.
Burrows and Ayoob Khan, and charges
the British troops with cowardice.
OF the fifty-three officers of Gen. Bur
rows force, twenty-one are killed or miss
ing; eight wounded and escaped, and twelve
arrived at Candahar unhurt. This leaves
twelve unaccounted for, and it may, there
fore be presumed that though nOminalv at
tached to Gen. Burrows brigade, they did
not accompany him.
THE London Times in a leading article
says: Official correspondence relating to
disease of animals in the United States,
published yesterday, which was of great
use in the debate in the house of commons,
last night. throws flood of light on the
mode of fattening stock in the west, and
several of the documents will give shock
of surprise to those who only know En-
glish stall-fed cattle. Accounts of the
stock-yard and feeding process at St. Louis
are anything but inviting. Unhealthy
cattle are crowded into unventilated sheds
and fed on bean-slops, as well-fed cattle
from the west are not feature of Ameri-
can industry"
THE Times says the telegram from lis
correspondent at Candahar is quite in har-
mony with the statements that General
Burrows cavalry and artillery were en-
ticed into an ambuscade. Putting various
scraps of intelligence together, we are in
clined to believe the Afghans tried
to get into the rear of our force The fact
that most of the losses are said to have oc-
CURED during what is euphemisticaily
termed a retreat, is strong proof that the
action ended in an utter rout of the force.
Though the brigade is not literally annihi-
lated, it will, owing to wounds, exhaustion
and demoralizations for the present add
very little to General Primrose's strength.
The news that preparations are making for
a siege is very bad, and by no means salts
ties the public craving for details

residence in Charleston, S. c., in which
Nancy Mathews beat her mother. Susan
Deas, over the head with kerosene
lamp and a glass bottle until the old

caused by an attempt on the part of
Susan to interfere with the domestic
felicity of her daughter, who has been
living with John Mathews Il number of
years. John did not come up to the
old woman's idea of q husband, and,
taking an AK she attempted to hew

Gle, when she was knocked down and
seriously injured. The daughter was
arrested but aiterward released.
