PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS.

It is earnestly asserted by high officials in
the Roman Catholic church that there is no
conflict between that church and the govern
ment Of the United States, but great many
people in New Jersey think there is. There
fore an amendment to the State constitution
is proposed there whereby ii shall be made
unlawful for any person or any power, local
or foreign, to attempt by the use of coercion
or dictation, to compel the attendance Of
children upon any particular school or to
compel, on the other hand, their absence
from any particular school. The matter has
no doubt been brought to this point In New
Jersey by the recent extreme action Of the
Church authorities there which had opened
the eyes Of the people to the reality Of certain
tendencies that have heretofore been only
casually considered. ,,-As will be recalled, the
ProthoaotaFy ,Apostolic lately served notice
upon@the dommunicants of Sc. Pstriok,s
Cathedral in Newark that they must remove
their children from the public schools and
send them to the parochial schools under
penalty of accommodation and denial of
absolution. It is true that the order was
subsequently recalled or modified in conse-
quence of the storm of protest that it evoked
from Protestants and the significant indiffer-
ence with which 1t was regarded by por-
tion of the Catholic laity, but it has made q
very decided stir.
It ia fair question whether such action as
that proposed in New Jersey is yet necessary.
But ono thing is clear, and that is that the
Roman Catholic Church will find itself over
matched If it attemps to interfere with the
OWL and religious liberty of this country.

The Horrible Possibilities of Conduct
While Thoroughly Drunk.

SIT is possible for man under the infiu-
ence of drink to commit murder and yet be
absolutely unconscious of his act and yet be
utterly incapable of recalling it." This was
said by Chicago physician who is eminent
for his knowledge Of brain and nerve disor-
ders. In substantiation of the statement
that msn may be so drunk as to be uncon-
scious and yet act seemingly in most intel
ligent manner, q gentleman we'll known in
Chicago real estate circles tells the following
story of himself:
"I met an old college friend when I was
last in Chicago and invited him to dine with
me at Clark street restaurant.

brandy before eating, and we each drank q
couple Of bottles of champagne. recollect
distinctly parting with him just outside the
restaurant and then all was q blank to me.

THR H0N TRADR,

The iron trade is looked upon by many as
the best indicator of the condition and pros-
poets of business in general. Not long ago
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie predicted that steel
rails would bring $50 ton before the end of
this year. II in said that orders have already
been sent in to the steel rail works calling
for the making Of more than 1,000, 900 tons,
and those in situation to judge of the prob
biiities and to speak frankly of them estimate
that the total amount called for before the
year ends will exceed 2, ,000, 900 tons. The
value of the rails thus ordered will reach
$40, ,000, 900.
On the other hand there are some signs
that Mr.. Carnegie's prediction may not be
fulfilled. It is said that the railroads have
retired from the market as buyers Of materi-
ais and dealers in tracks and other supplies
complain that business Is dull in all descrip-
tions of goods. This 10 perhaps no more
than could be expected after the active de-
mand OF the preceding four or five months.
Nor is it thought likely that trade in this
branch Of industry will speedily revive, as
the demand was mainly from old lines, which

few new roads are likely to be built during
the current year. Nothing new has lately
transpired In steel rails, the mills declining
to report any new business. Those who are
In position to know assert that if large
lot of steel rails was called for former prices
would be shaded to the extent of one dollar
per ton. Foundry iron is plenty and specu-
lators who few months since loaded up foI
boom are anxious to dispose of their hold
ings. It ia also stated that number of lots
have been thrown on the market by consum.
ers who bought largely few weeks since and
fearing recession in prices ere they want
iron, are disposed to sell rather than receive
and pay for it. There is, however, a large
consumption, and If the output at the furnaces
Is not increased the absorption may possibly
be sufficient to prevent heavy accumulation
Of stocks and the evil consequences thai
would naturally follow.
From all of which 1t appears that the con-
dition of the iron trade, like that of many
other kinds Of business, is decidedly mixed

He is said to have said that for the first few
years his practice increased in geometrical
progression. He began to practice at 8
Finsbury Square, and while there did q
large practice; and when he moved to the
West End his practice at the height of his
fame was probably larger than that of any
other physician at any period. He never
lost an opportunity to cure his patient. A
doctor sent him a lady, q habitual opium
eater. She was shown into Gull's room.
He at once said to her, "Madam, before you
say anything to me, let me tell you you
must give up the opium see you take" I"
She was 80 impressed by Gull's power of
divination that she gave it up at once. His
management of nervous and hypochondria-
cal patients was very excellent, and he
gained the confidence of one hypochondriac
where no othsr physician could succeed.
The patient. like all of his class, wanted
much sympathy for his numerous ailments.

CHEAP JEWELRY FOR MEN.
Well Dressed Men No Longer Wearins

Rings.

Expensive Watches, chains or
Rings.
From the New York SUM-
The head of one of the largest firms of
jewellers in New York remarked the other
day that the fashion of men wearing jewell
~, which prevailed for a time, was brief and
feeble
"Anybody who now wears jewelry espe-
cislly designed for men," he said, "can get
great quantities of it at any of the big es-
tablishments at very low cost. Jewelry
for gentlemen has been steadily cheapened
month after month in the hope of getting
rid of it, but there seems TO bs no combat-
ting the fashion, and the tendency of things
now is for men to wear little or no jswelry
at all.
"Meu of spy pretentions to fashion do not
now wear watch chains. They either carry q
cheap watch loose in their pocket or have it
attached te q cheap silver key ring chain,
which is buttoned on TO the side of the
trousers. The severity OF fashion regarding
jewelry is undoubtedly due to the abuse Of
the ring craze Eve or six years ago. A num-
ber of wealthy club men took up the FASH
them decorated with diamonds, rubies and
sapphires, and then the cheap dudes all over
town began to initiate them.'
Every errand boy wore q silver or gold
washed ring twisted around his finger four
or five times, and the whole fashion reached
such gsudy proportions that within less than
a year men had given up jswelry wearing en-
tirely. Occasionally a cad will be seen
about town who is all blazing with diamonds
or gaudy pins, but gentleman is now dis
tinguished by an entire absence of jewelry
of every kind. It is mighty bad thing for
our business too."

THE
NERVOUS SYSTEM,

When we remember how completely under
the control of the nervous system, both in
health and disease, il the regulation of all
the functions of the body, we cannot fail to
understand how necessary it is for the nerv-
GUS system to be in health.
The nervous system is like the VALVE
GEAR of steam engine which determines
the supply of steam to the cylinder. 1t con-
trolls the movements Of the entire engine,
but Its own movement is in turn regulated
by that of the engine.
The normal activity of the nervous appa.
ratus maintains all the other organs in
steady, regular, healthy action, but is itself
in turn kept in normal action by the proper
functionating of the latter. There is q nice
equilibrium between the two, which is the
condition Of health disturbance of one
will disturb the other, the equilibrium will
be overturned, and the whole constitution
will feel the result

..ettsr From Secretary Blaine.

WASHINGTON, D. c. July 16.-The follow
ing letter from Secretary Blaine was received
by Senator Frye:
BAR HARBoR, July II, 1890.
DEAR Mr.. FRYE:-I have just received in
telligence from the highest commercial
authority in Havana that American flour,
under the new duties imposed by Spain,
cannot reach the Cuban market under cost
of $11.46 per barrel.
Counting the shipping price in New York
at $3.50 per barrel, Spain holds the markets
for herself, and is able to send European
-four at price which totally excludes the
American -four from the markets of Cuba
and Porto Rico. Other articles of American
growth are likewise taxed by Spain to the point
of prohibition. This One-sided commerce will
lnJure the shipping routes which are still IN
American hands largely if not exclusively.
1t would certainly be a very extraordinary
policy on the part of the government Just at
this time to open our market without charge
of duty to the enormous crops of sugar raised
in the Spanish islands. Cuba and Porto
Rico furnish the United States with nearly
or quite one half Of the sugar which We con-
sumo, and we are far more consumers than
any other nation in the world. To give
free market to the immense product of
spanish plantations at the moment SPAIN IS
excluding the products of American farms
from her market, would be policy as I'M
precedented as it would be unwise. Our
trade with the American republics. as well as
with the West India islands, has been for
many years in most unsatisfactory condi-
ton. The aggregate balance of trade with
all Latin-America Is heavy against us. A
single illustration will suffice: Since we re-
pealed the duty on coffee in 1872, we have
imported the products of Brazil to the extent
of S821, 800, 600, and have sold to her only
$156, 135, 600 of our own products. The DIFF
ference-$664, 81, 000-we have paid in gold
or its equivalent. and Brazil has expended
the vast sum in the markets of Europe.
The charge against the protective policy,
which has injured it most, Is that its benefits
go wholly to the manufacturer and the capt.
talist, and not at all to the farmer. You and
/ well know that this is not true, but still it
is the most plausible and therefore the most
hurtful argument made by the free traders.
Here is an opportunity where the farmer
may be benefited primarily, undeniebly,
richly benefited. Here is an opportunity
for the republican congress to open the mar
kets of 10000, 600 people to the products of
the American farmers. Shall we seize the
opportunity, or shall we throw it away.

Religion. Teaching In State Schools.

ST. Paul. July Pin Bishop Ireland's
address before the teachers convention, after
expressing his loyalty to pubic schools and
the duty OF the state to provide adequate
secular education, he talked about the oppo-
sition felt and expressed against parish
schools. In summing up he proposed meth
DDS which would harmoniously effect the
desired end: He said:
GAS solution of the difficulty I would
permeate the regular state school with the
religion of the majority of the children of
the land, be it as Protestant as can be, and
would do as they do in England, pay for the
secular instruction given in denominational
schools according to results-that ls-each
pupil passing the examination before state
officials, and in full accordance with the state
programme, would secure to his school the
cost of the tuition of a pupil in the state
school.
Another plan-I would do as Protestants
and Catholics in Poughkeepsie and other
places in our own country have agreed to do,
to the great satisfaction of all concerned and
the great advancement of educational inter
ests. In Poughkeepsie the city school board
rents the building formerly used as parish
schools, and from the hour of 8 q. N. to that
of 8 p. m. the school is in every particular a
state school, no religious instruction coming
between the hours named, and the school
being in charge of the school board. In
conclusion, protest against the charge that
the schools of the nation have their enemies
smong Catholics. The Catholics are loyal to
the country. and demand the Christian state
school,
