Religious instruction in Public Schools.
Mr.. EDITOR: Your correspondent, "a
Protestant Layman, thinks that in view
of certain matters of fundamental doc
trine regarding which Catholics and Pro-
testants concur, it would probably
strike an impartial observer that it ought
to be possible to arrive at some common
understanding" etc. l Venture to assert
that if the impartial observer" were
also an experienced one he would come
to the conclusion that the adoption of a
common platform of religious instruction
in state schools, platform calculated to
receive the assent of all evangelical de-
nominations, of Catholic as well as Pro-
testant, to say nothing of others, whose
views are entitled to consideration, is one
OF those things the attainment of which
may as well be placed in the same cate
CORY with that of perpetual motion, the
discovery of the philosophers stone and
other projects of like nature long since
abandoned as impracticable under the
light Of the nineteenth century.
The panacea which would suggest lit
is not claimed to be original) is to elm
mate religious instruction entirely from
the mixed classes attending our state
schools, but with the proviso that GER
tain portion of the school hours be set
apart periodically daily or weekly, as
might be deemed necessary during
which it shloud be admissible for accred-
tied teachers representing the different
religious bodies to attend and impart in
struction to such of the pupils whose par
ents or guardians might. desire it. The
attendance of such teachers would neces-
sarily be optional, and any expense ac-
,:ruing would need to be borne by the
several denominations.
The state, being composed OF persons
OF all shades of religious belief, is unsec-
torion, and it is therefore no part OF its
duty to expend the common funds for
UNCONVENTIONAL purposes or to influence
in any way the religious opinions of the
people. As surely as it does so, some
section or other will be dissatisfied, de-
nominationalism will be imported into
politics and all the attendant evils will
follow. Let all be placed upon com
mon footing and if this or that sect is I'M
able to hold its own it will probably be
found upon examination that it is be-
cause the good it once contained has de-
parted, and it is no function of the state
to bolster it up. l have sufficient faith
in the religious instincts of a majority of
the community to believe that if any par
ticular form of denominationa1ism suffer

to see him adopting a more liberal view,
scarcely expect that the honor of con-
verting Bishop from the error of his
ways will fall to the lot of humble lay
man like myself. l do not write with
the expectation of converting the Rev.
gentleman to my views, but rather to
assist in keeping other people from being
converted to his.
Lest trespass too much on your pa
tience, and occupy space which may be
needed for other purposes, l will close for
the present, and ask leave to offer in a
day or two what further L may have TO
say concerning the relations OF the Cath
Ole Church to our Government schools,

SEWAGE PUZZLE
A Plan to Get Rid Of this Offensive
Subject For Sh0It
Time.

For ten days prior to Friday the time
OF Judge Gardiner and Jury was occa-
pied by the case Of Miguel Leonis sgainst
Mrs. Anna g. LefIingwell. in which the
jury on Friday evening rendered q ver-
dict in favor Of defendant The nsis was
brought to eject Mrs Leilingweil from n
piece Of land on the III Sappo Rxnchu-
The testimony was TO the effect that shs
defendant had been resident Of
Santa Barbara county for more than
fourteen years. She was widow, and
having to work hard for living, resolved
to locate home for herself on govern
ment land. After long search slsa
came across the half section in queH.lon.
situated about thirty miles from this city
and seventeen miles southwest Of Sam
Fernando, near the line of Ventura
county. After making her application
for a homestead at the United Htotes
Land Office, she moved all her worldly
possessions to her new home, and for q
time lived without a roof over her head,
and nothing but a horse and dog fox
company. She found a sprine and
developed the water, and then she lencest
it in, hauling poles distance Of ten
miles for this purpose. She then hanIe<f
the lumber to the land and built hsrself a
house with her own hands. No sooner hat
this been accomplished than to her
surprise che was ordered of the land by
her nearest neighbor, the plaintiff in tho,
case, who claimed all the land in tbae
section. She refused to move, and picw-
ed a few acres of land, in which sIia
planted wheat and an assortment of fruit
trees. After the wheat had nearly rip
ened, she alleged that the plaintiff
turned his cattle on her place, and de-
stroyed all the improvements she had
made to the spring and orchard Finally
plaintiff brought suit TO eject her, tut tina

Some time ago the Knights Of Labor
in this city decided to institute open
meetings, to be held monthly at some
public place, and at which all working
men were to be invited to attend. The
first Of these gatherings was held last
night in the Masonic Hall, on Spring
street, and was an undoubted success,
the room being thronged with repre-
sentative attendance Of craftsmen and
laborers of every description. The pro-
gramme was one well calculated to bold
the audience, consisting OF songs, ad-
dresses and recitations. The officers Of
the evening were courteous in their treat
ment of their guests, and very pleasant
evening was passed by all. The follow
ing is the full programme rendered:

A HERALD reporter yesterday met Mr..
Martz, Of Vernon, and asked him abous
the trouble over the sewage in that dir
tract.
"Oh," replied he, ''it is about az IL
was. But think we will get through
the difficulty. There is only about aze-
third Of the sewage about which there 10
any trouble. There is q tract of land
further down on which think we viii
be able to use that. When IL is all ar
ranged think the Councif will give us
water on the orchards that arc enioined
from the use Of the sewage"
"Can you run The filth into Ballonz
creek?' asked the reporter.
NO." said Mr.. Martz. "of coarse va
cannot. As you say, the creek is used
for domestic purposes, and cannot bss
defiled with the SEWAGE

He said:
"They made mistake down there in
creating legal contest over It and max
ing go much trouble. II they had gives
us a little time, and mans2ed the matter
in neighborly way, it would have beea
better. But We will get it all fixed right,
and it will not do any injury to our fine
orchards and beautiful district.
"No, they can not run that sewSge info
Ballona creek. It is used for stock px1y-
poses. We saw Mr.. Baidwin's man wiss
looks after the Cienega ranch he told
us that there was little land there On
which part Of the sewage could To
used in summer; but in the winter he
says he would not be able to take any a<
it. The Cienega is low there, and if tize
sewage were run that way it would get
into the ditch and spoil it for the use Of
the cattle which have to drink is. Itcasx
not be run into Bal,ona creek for tias
same reason.'

special to the Press.l !


AUGUSTA, Nov. There is a movement
on foot to obtain an appropriation from the
legislature, say $500 annually for the pro-
motion Of dairying In the State. Butter
making is an important industry In Maine
and Is rapidly on the increase. 1t has been
demonstrated in individual cases that no
natural obstacles stand In the way Of the
Maine dairymen matching the best In point
Of quality and In advantages Of price, 10
keep fully abreast Of the progress that Is go
ing on in other dairy States. To do this those
who are engaged or employed in the BUSH
ness must be schooled in the best methods.
State aid has been given In New York.
Vermont and Massachusetts are moving in
the same direction. 1t is proposed to estab-
lish dairy schools In the State after the man
nea OF Denmark and Sweden and other Eu-
ropean countries, the appropriation TO be
placed In the hands Of dairy commissioner
appointed for the purpose or under the di-
rectioD Of the board Of agriculture, as may
be deemed best. There are already facilities
and appliances for some such school at the
State College farm and there Is a prospect
that the trustees will take the necessary
steps forthwith to introduce IL In connection
with dairy work at that institution. Last
year the legislature Of New York apprOpri-
ated 5000 and placed ii In the hands Of the
dairy commissioners to be expended for itin-

MICHIGAN.
Don Dicklnson's State Votes EN-
phatica ally for HARRISON.


DETROIT, Nov. 6.-The returns received in
Detroit up to am. do not materially change
the situation in Michigan. The Press con-
cedes the election of Harrison electors, but
says the vote for governor is extremely close.
The Detroit Tribune, Rep, claims the cleo
tion of both National and State tickets, the
former by plurality of 10000 and the latter
by at least 10000.
Latest returns show that the State has
gone Republican by a plurality of 1900 to
1900 on the electoral ticket. The Republi-
can candidate for governor runs behind the
presidential ticket, but not more than 5000.
The legislature is safely Republican on joint
ballot, insuring the election Of Republican
senator TO succeed Palmer
DETROIT, Nov. THE election of Wheel
er, Rep, in the tenth district, over Fisher.
the present incumbent, is conceded. This
leaves but one, the seventh, in doubt.a is
Republican gain OF three. Should Whiting,
Dem, be reelected in the seventh, which
now seems probable, the delegation will stand
nine Republicans and two Democrats.
For Governor, Luce's (Rep) majority will
exceed 10000.
DETROIT, Nov. 7.-Returns indicate the
election of eight Republicans and two Dem
ocrats, Republican gain of two. The re-
suit in the tenth (Fisher's) district is in
doubt, and may require the official count to
determine. The following are returned:
First district, j. Logan Chapman, Dem. !;
second, Edward p. Allen, Rep. third. James
ODonnell, Rep; fourth, j. C.. Burrows,
Rep. SIXTH Mark s. Brewer, Rep seventh,
j. L. Whiting. Dem. ninth, Byron Cutchon,
Rep. Ford, Dem, is defeated in the fifth
district by Chas. E. Belknap, and Tarsney,
Dem., in the eighth by Aaron T. Bliss. S.

THURMAN ADMITS DEFEAT.
He Thinks Ohio Might Have Been
Carried by the Democrats. ~

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. Judge Thurman
would see no one last night, but he made
statement through his son in answer to
question, saying:
From the figures we have here, after cor
rections. / estimate that the Republicans
have certainly carried New York by at least
10000. New Jersey seems TO be Democratic,
but that is small comfort. Nothing favora-
BILE has been received from Connecticut. As
to Indiana, we have nothing except what
everybody knows. In fact it looks as II the
people of the United States have decided
that tariff is not tax, and they are the ar
bitrators In the case. II they have decided
so, nobody will aequiesce in their decision
more quickly than l. J"
In answer to question about Ohio, Judge
Thurman said:
1--WE have received full returns from about
150 precincts in Ohio, which ahows un aver
age Democratic gain Of ct to the precinct.
III we should raise the average to 10@ to the
precinct we would carry the State. There Is
no telling what will happen. At the best the
Republican plurality win not be 10, COO and /
believe 1t will be 5000. / tell you IL the Ma
tional Committee had listened to US and had
done as Brice and Townsend and wished
them to do, we should have carried Ohio.
But they not only gave us no money, out
they took from us the money that we had
collected. II was great mistake, and has
lost the election"
you give up the entire election then?"
asked the reporter.
Il do, we are defeated" replied the Judge.
