The subject of the Bible in the public
H. Davenport, Acknowledgement, has made
the following decision: Having considered
the communication addressed to yourself
by Mr.. N. F. Smith, OF Paradise Valley,
which was submitted to me for my official
opinion, I have the honor to say that in
my judgment the reading OF the Bible in a
public school by the teacher, even without
comment, is sectarian in spirit and should
be avoided by all means. It is in itself
%sectarian in a sense, and is highly objec-
tionable to Roman Catholics who's
children attend the schools. The reading
if it does, it's tendency is to the injury OF a
certain sect, namely, Catholics. II it is not
intended to have any effect it's reading is
useless, and should be avoidedforth rea-
son. I will say further that l am entirely
confident that the Trustees have the power
to prohibit such reading, for the simple
reason that it is not one OF the text books
prescribed for use in public schools,
just as they would have the right to pro-
hibit the reading OF newspapers, or any
other kind OF literature foreign to the
the course OF instruction" This is, we
think, further than any previous legal
opinion upon the subject has gone, though
they have all been upon the line Of thought
leading to this conclusion. In some OF the
States the use of the Bible. as a text book
on public morals has the sanction of State
Superintendent, by rulings that have the
power of law until reversed by a legally
constituted court. The objection that is
urged against the reading OF the Bible might
with equal force and reason be brought
against any history worth reading and
also against the average public school
reader.

THE l In T

By refere.5ce totbe full report published
in the city columns OF TIE MINER regarding
the strike of the brakemen on this division
OF the Utah & Northern, it will be seer that
yesterday was comparatively a quiet day.
There were the usual number OF idle and
vicious men lettering about the depot and
some little damage wal done to property,
but in the main, 80 far as surface trouble
was concerned the day was uneventful.
Our advices from Omaha cay that the
trains on that division are all moving but
this the strikers deny. Be it as it may one
thing is certain; there is a tie up at the
yards here. Just how the problem will be
solved is at this writing uncertain. Both
the strikers and railroad men APP
pear tt be firm in their de-
termination to insist on their alleged
rights. On the one hand the company has
invoked the aid OF the law anil Sheriff Sui
Ivan, in accordance with his duty, has
sworn in q number OF deputies and taken
all possible p%recaution to protect the prop
erty. Notices quoting the law OF the Terri
tory applicable to the situation have been
posted and Superintendent B~lickensderler
has issued a note 10 the strikers giving them
until Sunday morning to return to work.
The fair presumption is that there will be
no attempt on the part Of the company to
move trains until hat time. On their side
the strikers say that they viii continue to
refuse to work until their demands are
compiled with. This is the situation in
brief, but in the meantime all the other
people in Butte are the sufferers.
For this reason both sides
to the controversy should make strenuous
efforts to close the breech. With the Anacon-
da mine and smelter shut down and 900 men
thus thrown out OF employment, and with
a fair prospect OF other mines and smelters
following suit, it behooves the strikers and
the company alike to pause and consider.
Heretofore Butte has been at the mercy OF
the company. To-day it is at the mercy OF
it's employees. With the one it was simply
a question OF how much We should be com
PEELED topayin the shape OF rates; with the
otheritis stay at home orwa]k. The MINER,
in the name Of all the people of Butte, en-
ters it's earnest protest against the situa-
ton. 1t must be settled. Ii no better way
can be devised let the parties call together
a committee OF the business men OF Butte,
and let them suggest a compromise. The
road certainly owes this to the business
men OF the city who have paid SO much
into their Golfers, and the employees can
hardly have any objection to submit their
claims to such u court. We hope that this
may not be necessary, but we insist that
the matter be arranged, and arranged at
once. The town cannot afford to be set
back for months because OF the obstinacy
OF either the railroad corporation or it's
wOrkmen.

The cheering news was received from
Cheyenne in this city last evening that the
brakeman strike on the Union Pacific Rail-
road had ended, the men voluntarily re-
Stunning work on the Wyoming Division.
The strike was not general over the road,
the men on the Idaho Division, the south
ern end of the Utah & Northern, on the
Omaha, Kansas and Colorado Divisions de-
clining to 20 out. This weakened the contest
and it naturally collapsed. AS the men on
this end OF the Utah & Northern have no
real grievance OF their own, but entered
upon the strike rather to help their breth-
rem, elsewhere, they will also probably
resume work to-day.
While Butte is one of the strongest OF the
Western cities 80 far as organized labor is
concerned, there is here the strongest
sort OF Il feeling against la~wlessness.
The rioting and destruction at the depot on
Wednesday was denounced generally ,yester-
day, and especially by the leading business
men, who are firm in their declarations that
both the good name and financial pros
perity OF Silver Bow County demand the
rigid enforcement OF the laws ard
the preservation OF good order. The
county is financially responsible for
every dollars worth OF property that
may be destroyed by mobs. This princi-
pie OF law was settled in the case OF the
Pittsburs riots in 1877. Therefore it be-
hooves Sheriff Sullivan to have on hand
ready for duty such d force OF deputies as
may prevent, at any future time. q
repetition OF such lawless acts as those
OF which the hoodlum element was
guilty on Wednesday. These hoodlums
have no more relation to honest
labor than have the red-handed murderers
in Chicago. They never labor nor dream
Of paying taxes. They can only profit by
riot and anarchy. They are ever ready to
fan the flames of discomfort into fire. They
may return to their work here. This COM
munity expects that it's chief peace officer,
Sheriff Sullivan, will take such firm
aud decisive steps as to protect the
property OF corporations as well
as OF private citizens against any and all
persons who may be evil disposed. The
people believe that Mr.. Sullivan will do
this, without fear or favor, and they will
not hold him blameless If he shall fail them.
