A Dangerous Place.

A lady recounts narrow escape that
she had yesterday while driving down
town, at the railroad crossing on Bere.
tania street near Mr.. E. G. Damon'e
place. Without any warming signal OF
flag or bell, or even wave of the hand
from the Waterman that was not there,
the locomotive came rushing past, just
as the lady had barely crossed the track
in her carriage. There is not much
room to spare for carriages at that point,
and to turn a vehicle on the track in
wolves an almost certainty of break
down in the wheels. Valuable life may
be sacrificed there for want 0. precau-
tons that are, to say the least, due to
public safety from the Government.

tcrial criticisms of the recent circular o
the Board of Education, which do not
commend themselves to nay judgment
as being so clear and specific in theil
application as the circumstances de-
| mand.
That the circular is inconsistent is
readily conceded. That fact is so obvi.
GUS as scarcely to need demonstration.
But the particular point where it is so is
not indicated. Your condemnation is a
wholesale one. You have failed 10
recognize that the regulations which the
| circular conveys are two in number and
| essentially different in their nature
that the one is direct infringement of
the principle OF religious liberty and that
the other is not.
To make it incumbent upon public
school teachers to open proceedings with
the repetition of the Lords PRAYER is an
arbitrary introduction of sectarian teach
ing into the state curriculum, whilst the
intention of the law is that it shall be
unsectarian. The Itransgression of prin-
clpIe IN this case may be one OF small
degree, yet, as you say, 1t Is the thin
end of the wedge.
But whore is the objection in the other
case? To give man permission to do
a thing is no infringement of his liberty,
neither does the particular thing in ques-
ton affect the liberties of those who do
not choose to avail themselves of it. It
entails no expense upon the Taxpayers:
that item is borne by those who may uti-
lie the privilege. It does not curtail the
hours OF study devoted to secular in
struction. 1t entails no extra duties, ex-
capt those of common courtesy, upon the
teachers employed by the Government.
1t neither affects nor tends to affect any
one but the individuals concerned. The
objections to religious teaching in public
schools have their foundation In the ele-
ment of unfairness which it embodies
the application of common funds to
class purposes. But under this provision
thai element Is not present. All are
placed upon one level. No privilege is
accorded to one class which is not equally
accessible to all. Which ever way it is |
viewed there is absolutely no violation of |
the sacred principle of religious liberty. |
You have said it is a concession where |
none was needed. We, at least, have
evidence that two important sections of |
the community were dissatisfied at the |
absence OF religious teaching, for pre- |
SuudDly Cne hOnan CatnOIlc BlShOp and |
the " Protestant Layman are represen-
tatlve writer's, and your present cores
pOndent, who is allied to neither in his |
views upon this subject, ventured hum
bly, to suggest the panacea, which the !
Board in its wisdom has since adopted, |
a5 way out of the difficulty. If anyone
mas been wronged thereby, who is it and
n what way has the wong been done?

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the
beginning of the Lenten season. This
continues until Easter Sunday, which
this year falls upon the first day of A.
pril. The season of Lent is in CON-
memOratiOn of Christ's 40 days. fast IN
the wilderness. Wherever the Catholic,
Protestant Episcopal and Greek church
es prevail, Lent is observed by special
services in the churches, by fasting and
by abstinence from worldly pleasures
and amusements. The proportion of
church people who really observe it is
very small, probably not one in thou
sands, but nearly all cut off something,
fOregO some pleasure or some debauch,
and make show of observance. Thus
the students, at an Episcopal college,
met and gravely resolved that during the
1.enten season they would f"rego the
customary boarding house ''hash."
Rightly observed. the Lenten season is
one of the most salutary requirements
that ever wise church provided for an
ignorant, flesh-eatinR, animal race.
The man or woman who began yester-
day, and who holds out faithful to
1.-THE end" of forty days. abstainiDg
from stimnlants, meats and all indul
gence of the 'flesh." will find himself
or herself on the high table lands Of
Of the spirit instead of upon the low
lands and miasmatic marshes of the
body.
This is sermon No. l. No. 2 will be
preached about Easter.

PRESIDENT MAKING.


The political situation begins now to
be interesting. All 1T once, there falls
out of the political sky 4 shower which
changes the forecasts as to the crop
and harvest of 1888. Mr.. Blaine has
written letter to Chairman Jones, of
the National Republican committee,
positively declining to be 4 candidate
before the Chicago Convention.
This will settle the matter as to his
candidacy. The ADVANCE is pleased
to know that lie is out of the race.
Twice we favored Blaine, and twice
lie failed, first to secure the Cincinnati
nomination, and then to win after be.
ing nominated. Blaine is too we'll
known, too great a party leader, to sue
ceed.
simultaneously with the publication
of Hlaine's letter, comes the announce
ment that there is great rebellion in
the Cleveland ranks. Nearly every
Northern state has some strong pOliti
clan opposed to Cleveland's r1nomina-
tion. 1t is by no means settled, AS was
supposed, that Cleveland will be the
Democratic nominee again.
Third, there begins to be a low mur-
mer, \ bare whisper among tn trees,

suggests ''luck'', ''destiny". ''foreordi-

of choosing him as ''our man." we
should not be surprised to see him
mount that dark horse'' of his this
too is Significantly and make another
twenty mile ride and snatch another
Republican victory from the jaws of a
Democratic army of occupation.

Anthony Comstock is 'made fun
of''from all sides. The Cincinnati La,
Dor Enquirer says he should have pow.
or taken from him before he compels
people to wear green spectacles to COW
er the naked eye. Some one writes
from Philadelphia to the Truth Seeker
that he has had pants put on the legs
Of his piano, and Watson Heston, the
hanging up by the hind feet with a
coat and pants on.
This fun is well enough in it's way,
but Comstock needs severe blows. He
shonld be so universally despised and
80 thoroughly prosecuted that no man
can ever again be found mean enough,
slave enough, bigot and tyrant enough,
to be his successor.

THE "OLD FOLKS"

The mother of DR.. J. NJ. PEBBLES.
died recently at the home of her son in
IIammonton, N. J. A copy CT the Re
publican of that place is before US an
nOuncing the death and containing
letter from the DR.. in which he says:
ut has been the privilege of Mrs. Pee.
bles and myself to have both of our
sainted mothers spend their last years
in our residence and under our own
immediate care; and be it said to their
praise and honor, they both contributed
to the making of our home the more
bright and sunny; and we in turn tried
to anticipate their wants. to plant
flowers along their weary Journeys, and
make their declining years rs pleasant
and peaceful as possible. This was our
joy and our duty. And ought the
younger to ever miss an opportunity of
showing attention to the aged. of prof
fering a kindness, orlighting up Il smile
upon their faces with the utterance of
kind and friendly words"?
We could not help contrasting this
with the conduct of the much-vaunted,
Over.praised Garfield family, who re.
Gently abandoned the aged mother of
the assassinated President to die at
home, while they hied themselves away
to Europe on pleasure trip. DR.. Pee
bles is Christian Spiritualist and such
man will always be faithful to his
trust and will ''honor his father and
mother" to the last. A Christian Splr-
itualist will never desert his father and
mother, will never go to war, will new
er hang al anarchist or any one else,
and will never. never persecute any one
When we think how little respect
the Americans have for father and
mother; how little obligation they feel
to take care of parents in old age, and
how flippantly and readily tley desert
them, we feel that the Chinese are the
better Christians of the two, and that
thousands of our people are ''making
their beds in help mot the orthodox
one, by their selfishness and their fail
ure to take care of the old folks"
