FlNAscIAL EpuoArIrH.

The Nation thinks that the success of
the Ladies Deposit Company" in Bos.
ton, of which gross swindle we gave an
account recently, shows the need of better
financial education among the people. Is
is indeed remarkable fact that the women
who were induced to deposit their earnings
with this fraudulent institution were largely
persons of good general education, very
many OF them being school teachers. Yet
they were so utterly ignorant of business
principles as to be unable TO see, even when
it was pointed out to them, that no honest
bank could possibly undertake to pay inter-
est on deposits at the rate of eight per cent.
per month. Many of them actually re-
fused to believe the warnings given them,
and despite run on the bank insisted on
leaving their money with it. AS resrls
they have lost II all, and when such ex-
hibitions of financial ignorance are gwen
by educated people it is certainly time
to urge the importance OF doing more
for the rising generation in thia branch of
instruction. Indeed the general ignorance
of business principles is reflected In cur
politics. The tariff and the currency
questions would never have been discussed
as they have been but for the prevalence
of degree of popular ignorance highly
discreditable to the country, and especially
rejecting upon the national boast OF being
a practical people" Half the time now
wasted on foolish and useless studies like
grammar would give our children enough
knowledge on these topics to at least pre-
vent them from masking fools of themselves
when they grow up.

CONFLICT BErwEES CHURCH AND STATE.

CONFLICT BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE.
There seems to be trouble brewing in
Canada between Church and State The
Dominion Government has established
some schools of a preparatory character,
and the Catholic Bishop of Ottawa has
forbidden his flock to send their children
to the new schools on pain OF being de-
prived of the sacramento. The new Gov
ernment schools are presumably neither
more nor less than such public schools as
exist all over the Union. The Dominion
Government has, however, probably dis
covered that is must either take hold of
the question Of education itself or stand
by and see the Roman Church control the
politics Of the country. The influence
which that Church has already acquired
in Lower Canada is probably greater
than it possesses in any other part of the
world, not accepting Rome and Ireland.
The Catholic Canadians have apparently
surrendered their consciences entirely to
the priesthood, and more than once the in
fiuence OF the latter has been SO conspicu-
ously exercised st elections that it has been
found necessary to annul them. II now the
Church has determined to bring on a con-
fiict with the State, it will not be mild
struggle, but as the State cannot afford
to be beaten, and as it has the su-
preme power, the result is not doubtful
In any other country than Canada this at
tempt to prevent the children OF Catholics
from acquiring liberal education would
be resented even by the members of the
church, but there the 'bigotry and submis-
sion of the congregation are only exceeded
by the arrogance and intolerance of the

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Coiored Men Have Jury Rights which
States are Bound to Respect.


Washington, March 1.-The supreme
court has given a decision in the case
of Taylor-Strouder, plaintiff in error,
VS.. The State of West Virginia. The
question involved was the constitution
ality of the act of the West Virginia
legislature, excluding colored citizens
from jury service in courts of that
state. This court holds that when a
colored citizen is tried for his life by a
jury from which his own race are by
a state statute expressly excluded, he
is denied the equal protection of law
guaranteed by the third clause of the
fourteenth amendment to the constitu-
ton; and that such state statute deny
ing himself such result is repugnant to
said constitutional provision. The
judgment of the supreme court on the
appeals from West Virginia is reversed.
Justice Strong delivered the opinion
Justice Field dissented.

FRIGID ALASKA.
Necessity OF Home Government :
What would Build u Population.

VhAt WodAo q
New York, March 1.-The Times
argues the necessity of the immediate
extension Of some form of government
over Alaska. 1t says: A party of real
estate dealers could take Alaska from
the governments hands for the sum
the government paid for it, and with
the political power like that formerly
possessed by the East India company,
make it for themselves a paying invest
ment. Nothing like this, of course,
can, or ought to be, done. But the pos
sibility will serve to overthrow the pre-
tense that Alaska is worthless. The
revenue could easily be increased to
$500, 900, or double the cost OF territor-
iJ government. Nobody can dispute
that it is rich in fish, furs, timber and
minerals. Without reviewing the ludi-
crous extravagancies of Seward and
Sumner concerning the wheat bearing
properties, and fine, mild climate of
Alaska, it is enough to say that its fish
and furs would easily support a far
larger population could the protection
and comforts of an orderly government
be assured.

TELEGRApnrC WAR CONTINUES
had Breaks In Harmony's Circuit
Gould ut the Key-Railroad
Batteries Too Stropg-No
go" To-Day.

New York, March 1.-Officials of the
Western Union telegraph company to-
day state that steps have been taken to
to regain its property recently seized in
defiance of law. Ex-Secretary Bristow
goes tomorrow to Chicago in behalf Of
the Western Union, to assist resident
counsel there. The officials also state
that the Atlantic and Pacific company
have built lines on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad from Baltimore to
Wheeling, and had a contract also with
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for the
business done by the latter's own off,
ces The Baltimore and Ohio road had
the right to take the wires which the
Atlantic and Pacific had built on pay
ing the expense and giving years
notice. This, it is claimed, has not
been done. As to the Kansas Pacific
lines there may be some doubt regard
ing the exclusive control on the part
of the Western Union, but the company
certainly has right to the property
they have erected themselves. The fol-
lowing statement in regard to the action
of the Union and Kansas Pacific rail-
road companies in assuming entire con-
troll of the telegraph lines along the
routes of their roads is made by ]. F.
Dillon, counsel for the American Union
telegraph company.
The disputed lines of telegraph on
the Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific
railroad were built and are owned by
those two railroad companies. In the
case of the former road there is a con-
tract which claims to give the Western
Union telegraph company a monopoly
for commercial business for twenty-five
years. In the other case, the Union
Pacific made lease, giving the Atlanti,;
and Pacific telegraph company per-
petual monopoly, in both cases subject
to the rights of the government. Both
of these lines have been at all times
worked by employees OF the railroad
companies. and have not been at any
time in the possession of either tele-
graph companies. The railroad con-
pany has not seized the lines, already
having possession thereof. All that the
railroad company has done is to operate
its own lines Independently, as its char
ter requires, giving equal privileges to
all, and exclusive privileges to none.
1t is denied at the headquarters of the
Union Pacific railroad company here
that the American Union telegraph
company has seized the wires, or has
or is to have any exclusive rights or
privileges over the Western Union or
Atlantic and Pacific telegraph COM
panies. The crisis was precipitated by
the formal demand upon the two rail
road companies by the American Union
to- receive and transmit-its telegraph
business at Omaha and Kansas City
upon equal terms with that of older tel.
egraph companies, and this made it
necessary for the railway companies to
operate and control its telegraph lines,
in order to comply with its charter and
escape the penalties for refusing to do
business for all persons and companies
without discrimination.

to Church-Lynching Threatened.
Washington, March lon Friday
night last Miss Leins, residing on Cap
itol hill, while on her way to church,
was struck down and carried into an
open lot by negro, who outraged and
robbed her of satchel and prayer book.
1t was nearly two hours before she
reached her home. Her throat was
black with choking; one ear was nearly
torn from her head, and her body COW
cred with bruises from cuffs and kicks
which she had received. The young
woman now lies in a critical condition.
Thomas Smothers was arrested yester-
day and recognized as the assailant. At
midnight crowd of about one hundred
men marched to the Seventh district
station house and demanded the pris-
oner, but he had been removed to an
other station, where he was guarded
during the night by the entire reserve
police force.

PACIFIC CoMpnoMIsE.
How the Railroad and Steamship
Companies Have Agreed.

New York, March 1.-The facts re-
specting the arrangements between the
Pacific Mail steamship company and
the Pacific railroads are as follows: The
traffic arrangements, to run five years,
have been agreed upon by the respec-
tive committees of the railroads and
steamship company. The railroads are
to pay the steamship company $11O, 900
month, in consideration of the right
of the roads to fix rates for California
passengers and freights. The roads are
to purchase two steamers on the China
line; the City of Pekin and the City Of
Toxic, for 81, 200, 900, paying for them
in installments of 500, 900 per month,
the purchase being subject to the in
spection of the steamers within ninety
days.
A prominent officer of the Pacific
Mail company says its Isthmus, South
American and Mexican coast business
now pays more than its working ex-
penses, and will show balance of &c.,
600 per month toward the sinking fund.
The amount received, therefore, from
the Pacific roads as subsidy, is sufii
cient to pay per cent on the capital
stock. Rufus Hatch to-day, upon be-
ing asked the reason for the sudden ad-
vance in Pacific mail, said: "Why,
Jim Keene and Henry Hart own most
of 1t, and subsidy from the Pacific
roads makes it dividend paying stock.
They can do about as they please with
it, and that is all there is of it,
