(From our Special COrrespondent1

(From our Special Correspondent)
The s. S. Alameda sailed at 2 As p. NJ.
on Sunday, November 18th, without tax
ing any account of the
Severe Earthquake
which occurred shortly before her de-
parture. It was felt at 2 :28 p. M, lasted
ten seconds, and its course varied from
north to south, to northwest and south
east.
The shock was generally felt about the
city. Although this is the season for the
phenomena on the coast, and an earth
quake was not entirely unexpected, the
fact that it was upon them was source
of alarm to many people. Men, women
and children domiciled in brick houses
sprang up in momentary fear of having
the walls topple over them with deadly
effect. Br1c-a-brac swayed and fell ;
hanging-lamps, mirrors and pictures
swung to and fro; floors creaked and
walls groaned. Fortunately, however,
there was no damage done anywhere.
The shock was very perceptible on the
water front. Founders and visitors to
the rickety shanties along East street
were considerably alarmed, and rushed
out of the buildings in bodies. The
rickety Wharves shook and the ferry
houses trembled and rocked. Along the
wharves vessels were shaken, and a
tremor was observed by the masters of
the ferry steamers. No damage was re-
ported.
The earthquake. was very severely felt
in Oakland. The houses were shaken
viz nd
streets. 1t was felt there at 20 O'Clock,
and did some little damage. Bric-a-brac
was shaken from the shelves of several
houses, and chimney on house near
the corner of Twenty-eighth and Myrtle
streets was shaken down. The children
of Albert Brown, the undertaken, were
seriously affected. One, who was asleep
on sofa, was rolled off on the floor, and
another was thrown from a chair. A
young lady who was attending the fun
eral of A. F. Huse was made so violently
sick that she had to be carried out of the
church.

THE DAILY
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1888.

THE author of the letter signed &c. "
in yesterdays ADVERTISER is undoubt-
eddy correct in drawing distinction be-
tween an order of the Board of Educa-
ton, compelling the teachers in their
employ to do certain thing, and an
authorization by which outside parties,
who are not employed by the Board, or
in any way under their control, are sim
ply permitted to do certain other things
At the same time we do not think this
statement of the question quite covers
the facts in the case. The terms of the
circular issued by the Board are, so far
a. they concern the ministers of the diff
ferent churches, merely permIssive, but
In their relation to the school agents, or
other employees of the Board having
charge of the public schoolhouses, they
are in substance, if not in express terms,
mandatory. How important the step
just taken may be, and just what COM
plications it may lead to in the future,
we are not now discussing. Our posi-
ton is simply this, that it is not in har-
mony with the principles on which we
understand our school system to be
based, nor with the only consistent and
impregnable position on which a gen.
eral system of state education can be
justified and maintained. AS we have
said before, it is a step in the wrong
direction, the entering upon a path
whose end is destruction, so far as our
public school system is concerned. How
far down that path the present, or some
future Board, may chance to travel, is
another question. But as we remarked
the other day, eve know the road, and
We know where it leads" We object to
the plan just adopted because it contem-
plates the hAbitual and systematic use
of portion of the Government educa-
tional machinery for sectarian purposes.
We object emphatically and on principle
10 the ministers of different denomina-
tons being furnished the use of Govern
ment buildings wherein to teach, not love
to God and goodwill to men, not hon.
esty, truthfulness, temperance, chastity,
patience and the kindred virtues, but
the peculiar and distinctive doctrines
and dogmas of their own various COM
minions. The Board of Education
should stand aloof from all such arrange
nents. That way lies danger. If the
Catholic priest wishes to teach the chill
dren of his flock to believe in purgatory.

of the Pope; if the Presbyterian desires
to see his young people we'll grounded IN
the doctrines of divine election and the
perseverance of the saints; if the Baptist
wishes to insist upon immersion being
the only scriptural form of baptism, or
the Latter Day Saint that every one is in
peril of eternal damnation who refuses
to acknowledge the mission OF Joseph
Smith and the inspiration of the Book of
Mormon, or the Moslem that Allah Is
great and Mohammed is his prophet, let
them one and all do so to their hearts
content, without annoyance or interior
ence from anyone. But we insist that
they should do so in their own churches
and other places of meeting, or in such
premises as they may be able to build,
buy, or hire, or obtain from parties other
than the Government. Now as to the
demand for any such arrangement as the
&C." says that "at least two important
sections of the community were dissatis-
fed with the absence of religious teach
ing, for presumably the Catholic Bishop
and the Protestant Layman' are repre-
sentative writer's" The representative
position of the Bishop may be freely ad-
mitted. But he only represents one
among many religious denominations,
not equally numerous, it is true, but all
having equal rights. 1t is true he favors
the measure under discussion, but he
also favors a division of the school fund
on sectarian basis, and probably
good many other educational ideas
which neither our correspondent, nor
ourselves, nor scarcely any one else, out
side the Catholic communion, would be
likely to approve Of His endorsement
of the measure, therefore, may go for
whatever it is worth Different people
will probably put different valuations
upon it. AS for the Protestant Lay
man." he is simply an anonymous writer
to whom it is scarcely fair to attribute
representative character which he does
not claim, and which there is no evil
dence of his possessing. Moreover, we
think our correspondent somewhat mis-
takes that gentleman's position. If we
read his letters Alright, he is not in favor
of any such arrangement as we are now
talking about, and holds very much the
same views as we have endeavored to
express above. If anything could JUS
tify the Board in the action they have
taken, it would be a general demand in
that direction from the authorized rep
of the various religions DOM
iciled on our shores; a demand so gen.
eral as to be practically unanimous, No
such demand has been or can be shown,
for the simple reason that none exists.
So far as we can judge from present in
dications, it is likely to be some consid-
cradle time before the numerous varie-
ties of religionists we have among US will
unite upon any programme Of that kind.
We desire to say, in conclusion, that we
appreciate the courteous tone of our cor
respondents letter, and are always
pleased to publish communications of
that kind.
