] assume, particular form of religion:
belief In the objection they make to
this clause they must, of necessity rec
/ ognize the fact that the first day of the
week is the Christian Sabbath, and in
rejecting it they reject part of Christ
ianity and so far lose their claim to the
Christian name. But the intention of
the amendment is the very opposite. 1t
is to prevent the fastening Of any spec
ial form of religious faith upon the peo-
pie. A religion is to be taught in the
schools supported by the state, and the
Christian religion is to be taught. Our
Seventh-Day friends could hardly ex-
pect that Mohammedanism or Budh-
ism, or Brahmanism, or Confucianism,
or any Of the grosser forms Of heathen-
ism should be taught in our schools
No nation ever yet endured great
while without some underlying form of
religious belief. The Christian religion
underlies all our publicinstitutions. Its
principles enter into our laws, they are
recognized in the customs of society, in
individual dealings. The churches of
the land are the strong safeguards Of
the state. In turn the state protects
the churches in the enjoyment Of those
privileges that give them efficiency. We
move in an atmosphere that is full of
Christian influences, and moral inhu
ences shaped by the Christian religion.
1t seems to us as though our friends |
make a great mistake not only in their
apprehension of the true intent of the
amendment, but in the hostility they
exhibit towards measure which is in
tended to protect them as well as all
others in the enjoyment of their relig-
ious beliefs. If they are Christians,
under any name they ought to come to
the support Of the measure. IT they
are not, no harm can come to them, for
even though trained up in the Christian
faith they are at liberty to reject it
whenever they choose. The second
source of opposition is found in the
heather element that has grown up in
this country. A great many objectors
under names new to modern times have
sprung up who take alarm at anything
that looks like restraint Of any kind
placed upon their conduct. This kind
of people has increased upon our hands
in recent times, and they threaten the
safety of our Institutions. We are sur
prised that there should be any sympa-
thy between classes so widely different
as the two from whom the opposition
to this measure comes. There are
some things besides politics that make
strange bed-fellows. The fact is there
is nothing in the proposed amendment
that differs materially from what is to
be found in the Constitutions Of many
of the States. 1t may be that some of
our friends who are so alarmed have
been living all their lives under meas
ures which they have suddenly discov-
cred are dangerous. The Blair amend
ment only designs to make general
what already exists in many localities.
There is no occasion to fear. Our
friends can worship on Saturday if they
wish, or any other day, even on Sun
day. They are only asked to assist in
others in the enjoyment Of
the same rights.

The Free Press and the Springfield
Republican are having tilt over the
question of Senatorial succession in this
state, apropos of the remarks which the
latter made about Col. Walker. The
Free Press speaks of an unwritten law
according to which the state is divided
into two parts by the mountains, and
each part has its Senator who must be
succeeded by man on his own side of
the mountain. The Republican laughs
at the idea. but the Free Press shows
that this law has been followed through
the entire history of the state, with one
exception. Custom makes law in a
certain kind of way, but we certainly
see no good reason why this law may
not be broken. 1t ought to be broken.
If for no other reason, that the people
may not grow to think that it must be
observed. Senators are chosen from
the state at large, and both may be ia
ken from the same household if thought
hest One states Senators are law
partners living in the same city. The
hest men should be chosen letting local
claims sink out Of sight. We presume
the people of the state know but little
about this law only as their attention
i called to it in a discussion ike this.

The commission to locate the state
insane asylum has fixed upon Water
bury, the home Of Gov. Dillingham;
This decision of the commission causes
considerable unfavorable comment, es-
peeially in those towns that were striv-
ing for, and hoping to secure the insti-
tuition. Rutland and St. Johnsbury
feel bad, and some even 60 so far as to
intimate that it was a ''put up job. ="
We do not think that an institution OF
this kind is specially desirable in any
town. Insane paupers do not consti-
tute an enterprising class of people. As
a rule they do not carry much property
for investment. There might be tenn
porary revival of activity while the
buildings were in process of construc-
ton. and there would be few attend
ants to add to the healthy population
of the town. Let Waterbury have it.
It is a central point, and we presume
the people there are willing if not pleas
ed 10 take IT. Now, we hope that in
putting up the buildings those having
the matter in charge viii not think that
a poor state like Vermont can build as
extravagantly as wealthy state like
New York. Don't be extravagant.

Knight, the post trader at Fort shaw,
charged with allowing the game OF monte
10 be played there despite the new gamb-
ling law, came on 70 day and excited much
public interest Mr. Leslie, for the defense,
demurred on the ground that the court had
no jurisdiction Ia the reservation. Judge
Dyas oyerruled the demurrer and allowed
the case TO proceed. William Deylne testi-
fled that he played monte In the amuse-
ment room. Arch Strong testified for the
prosecution that he also played monte
there, but admitted that the game as
played was perfectly fair. Mr.. Mcknight
testified In his own defense that he never
authorized civilians TO play in the room
and derived no gains from the games in
which the soldiers engaged. County At
torney Taylor spoke for the prosecution
and Mr. Leslie argued forcibly for the de.
Tense. Judge Dyas gave the case to the
Jury without any formal charge. The
jury brought in verdict OF guilty and
hred the penalty at the lowest limit, slOo
hne and ten days imprisonment The
case will be appealed.

Con Kelly's saloon last night James
Flynn entered the saloon, drunk. lie was
refused q drink by the barkeeper, John
Cummings, whom he thereupon began
Safeguarding. Being unable to bear the
abuse heaped upon him, Cummings
marched Flynn TO the sidewalk. The latter
burst the door in, and as he did he ran
against the bartender's knuckles with con-
siderable force. After he had gathered
himself together he was soon engaged In
another conflict with u stranger, who
kicked Flynn in the stomach, knocking the
wind out OF him. IL was several minutes
before he caught bis breath, and In the
meantime Alderman Gene Allen arrested
the assailant, but immediately released
him, no policeman being within ear-shot
The alderman forgot that he had power TO
make an arrest. II was only when q large
crowd had congregated that the vigilant
police hove In sight. They then arrested
| the drunken man and the barkeeper.

paratIvely few OF the boomers reached the

ing Salt creek. which winds through the
strip. and on the banks OF which the Ponca
reservation is situated, caused the settlers
much delay. The rains had made It 90
high that f0rdlng was dangerous, and only
a few were f00lhardy enough 30 venture It.
Friday morning fully 700 wagons waited
10 get across. A woman and two children
and q number OF cattle were drowned at
the ford.
Captain Hayes and his troops got TO the
Oklahoma border this morning. A careful
estimate by reporter who was on the b0r-
der last night 10 that fully 800 were at least
a mile over the line. Wire fences divide
the strip from Oklahoma The men did
not know the fence was the dividing line.
OF II they did needed II not. No soldiers
were there TO dispute their entrance or tell
where the line was, and without let or
hindrance they went In. A great many
people went into Oklahoma M early as Sat
urday night. A cattleman at Red Rock
said last night that rs they came through
Oklahoma from Galveston he counted over
= hundred men In the bushes along through
Oklahoma.
The crowd at the depot this morning wss
larger than was expected. -Four trains
with ten coaches each stood ready 10 start.
Crowds OF people walked up and down on
the tops OF the cars. The moment the
doors were thrown open the cars were
filed. IL Is estimated that there were {, OOC
at the depot awaiting transportation before
the train started. The town 10 almost de
serted. Many women are among the
