The Religious Test.
1Chicago Tribune.l


In Kentucky the legislature has
expressly provided that no religious
test shall be applied to a witness in
any civil action, but there is no stat
ute governing the question in crlmi-
nal cases. In recent murder trial
the objection was raised to one of
the witnesses that he was an atheist,
and therefore that his evidence was
not admissible. The question went
to the court of appeals, which de-
cides that in criminal as well as in
civil cases no inquiry can be made
into tie religious belief of any wit
ness. This decision Is based on the
fifth and sixth sections of the Ken
lucky bill of rights. The former
guarantees to all persons religious
liberty and freedom of worship; the
latter declares that "the civil rights,
privileges, or capacities of any citi-
zen shall in nowise be diminished or
enlarged on account of his reli-
gion."
On the sixth section the court
says: at is declaration of an abso-
lutte equality, which is violated
Wucu Oue Class VI CltlZeuS lS Helu 10
haue the civil capacity to testify in a
court of justice because they enter
tain certain opinion IN regard to
religion, while another class is de-
MED to possess that capacity be-
cause they do not conform TO the
prescribed belief. Free governments
deal with the acts of the citizen. and
not with his thoughts. To pro-
scribe or punish for religious or po-
litical opinions is the essence of des-
potism. We think that this pro-
vision of the constitution not only
permits persons to testify without
regard to religious belief or disbe-
lief, but it was intended to
prevent any inquiry into that be-
lief for the purpose of affecting
credibility." The court then re-
marks that if Christian legislature
might exclude atheists from the wit
ness stand an atheistic legislature
would have equal right to and
power to disqualify Christian wit
nesses.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A bark has just arrived at New
York from Honolulu with a cargo of
26, ,479 bags of Sandwich Island sugar.
The vessel made the run in ITO days
and the sugar arrived in good con-
dition. An equally large shipment
is expected to follow this about a
month hence.
Japan is promised constitutional
form of government at the end of
eight years. BY way of prepara-
ton for that event, the Japanese
minister at the court of Berlin has
been instructed to make a careful
study of the Prussian system of gov
ernment, which is likely 10 be the
one chosen.
The two steamships for the
Oceanic steamship company of San
Francisco. to ply between that port
and Honolulu, which are to be built
by Cramp 81 Sons, of Philadelphia,
are to be 320 feet long, Al feet beam,
and sc feet depth of hold. They are
to be of iron, with engines OF 26OO
horse power.
Recruiting for the army and navy
is very brisk in New York at pre-
sent. Very few of the applications
for 5000 vacancies to be filled come
up to the required standard. Among
the applicants are men out of en-
ployment, who represent nearly all
the trades and professions. Quite
number of newly arrived immi-
grants have recently applied to be
admitted into the service OF the
United States.
The New York fire department
has had to acknowledge the merits
of a Baltimore invention, viz: A
water tower apparatus for reaching
the upper stories of high buildings.
AT recent fire of a storage ware
house in that city. the lofty building
would have been consumed but for
the water tower brought into play.
1t was served by four lines of hose.
The New York Herald, in compli-
menting the invention, says that had
there been more of them on the
ground, the flames would have been
quickly stayed.
The minister of the interior of
Austria orders that in every town
where there is theatre local COM
mission is to be appointed, compos-
ed of the representatives of the mu-
nicipal authorities, the police, the
medical professions, the fire brigade
and impartial experts. All new the
atres are to be detached from other
buildings, and contain no store or
painting rooms. Every inflammable
substance used in the performances
is to be impregnated with fire-resis-
ting fluid /; and the most minute pre-
cautions are to be taken for insuring
proper inspection. 1t will also be
provided that there shall be an open
gangway after every six rows of
seats, that shaft for the escape of
smoke shall be erected, and that the
number of the audience shall be
strictly limited to the seating capac-
ity of the theatre.
