lncendiariSm is an evil that seems to
hs growing. In some eastern cities it
has been unusually excessive, until the
real estate and the insurance men have
been compelled 10 look at the matter
very seriously. There is an evident need
for more vigilance of the authorities in
endeavoring to prevent this crime and in
detecting and Furnishing those who are
guilty. In large city like New York
mcendiarism is especially terrible. since
1t almost always must threaten human
life more than in smaller communities.

A German Opinion of the Bennett
Law.

Translated from The Milwaukee Abendpost
Does the Bennett law interfere with any
OF the rights of the parochial school?
This question is being seriously discussed
by the opponents of Tire law. They claim
that the law does interfere with the rights
of the parochial schools, while the defend
ers Of it deny this in the most positive
manner. Let us therefore examine the
matter. To arrive at a fair understanding,
let us first inquire: What are the rights of
the parochial schools? The answer is,
they are:
l. The right of organization. Parochial
schools are. organized by churches Now,
does the Bennett law interfere in any way
with this right? Certainly not
2 The right to teach any religion. The
public school has no such right under the
law. Does the Bennett law interfere with
this right by word or even by letter. Sure
ly not
3. The right to teach language or
any branch OF knowledge. Do we find in
the Bennett law one point which in any
way questions or interferes with this right.
By no means. In the parochial school, as
it should be- any language on earth is per-
mitted to be taught.
4. The right to accept children who have
been taken away from the public school
by their parents Is this right in any way
disputed by the Bennett law? Certainly
not On the contrary the Bennett law
gives, in Section 2, every parent the right
to have his or her children educated
otherwise" than in the public schools.

SIlNRISE ON THE ALPS.

Hark how the wakened echoes ringl
The blaring of the Alpine horn
From peak to peak goes Quaver1ng
Through all the airy aisles of morn.
The first faint line of sunrise fire
along the cloudy east is drawn,
And one by one the stars expire
AS rings the anthem peal of dawn.
Come forth, and taste the why air
While yet the dews are DIAMOND bright;
Come forth and speed with thankful prayer
The shadow of the wings of night.
Come forth, aud watch the unsullied SHOWS,
Range after lofty range expand;
Come forth, and see the mornings rose
Burst DER the Bernese Overland!
Swift-smitten by transient ray,
lordly pinnacle of ice
Becomes, in some uhyste rious way,
A giant spray of edelw eiss;
And on the horizons utmost bound
From peak to cloud one may espy,
Round rising over rainbow round,
A Jacobs ladder scale the sky.
The west has felt a flush of flame
That sets its forest heart astir,
And breathes the radiant mornings name
In symphon ies of pine and fir.
The lower mists are backward rolled
And, as the GROWING splendors burn,
They kindle into lambent gold
The blue enamel of Lucerne.
Now every heaven aspiring height.
From mountain pole to mountain pole.
Reveals to the enraptured sight
It's evanescent aureOle
The scars the breast of nature wore
Are thrown in such divine eclipse,
The soul of man is dumb before
The daWn'S supreme apocalypse.

Hard Emblems to Beat.
From the indianapolis journal

TIOul tic 1llu1dudpOl1S JOuTHdI.
''The little school house" is the emblem
OF the Republicans in Wisconsin this year,
and it seems to be as popular as was the
log cabin In Indiana two years ago.
The Bennett law does not deal with the
parOchiaI school in any way, but with par
ents. 1t says to the parent or guardian:
You are not permitted to leave your child
without that education which is required
by this law. And what are these require
mentS: Every child between the ages of
and IA years must receive instruction in
reading. writing, arithmetic and American
history in English three months in each
year. That is all the Bennett law attempts
TO do.
If, therefore, any parent claims the right
to keep his child in ignorance the state,
through this law, says: You have uo such
right. For the sake of your children, I
(the State) must see to it that they acquire
those branches which are absolutely essen
tial for the general development, and, at
the same time, for the common possession
OF all intellectual life. Your children
must also be educated, as Luther has
taught, Ito good citizenship" Their ed
ucatlOn should not be left to accident, or to
caprice, but it is the business of the estate
power" as Luther calls it, ''to force you to
send your children to school," and insist
upon it that they get a kpowl-
edge OF those studies for the
sake of the state, for its self
PASoCA sdtiOn dlO OCFCIODluOlIt. y 0I-
able your children to do their duties as citi-
zens and jurors, the state has and must
have the right to urge careless parents to
educate their children. And in doing this
through the Bennett law, the state does
not interfere with any of the rights of the
parent or the parOchial school. Only
when parents do not obey the law, only
then, the law interferes for the benefit of
the child and the Welfare of the state.
The Bennett law is not designed for any
particular nationality, but for all. 1t
speaks to the Anglo-AIaerican as well as
to the foreign-born parent. 1t has been in
force now little Ouer a year. According
to the report of the superintendent of pub
lie instruction it has been quite generally
enforced. Until now not single instance
has been made public where it has invaded
the rights of any church or parOchial
school. Ii this be true-and it is true
the opponents of the law are fighting a
shadow. They have with their own hands
painted the devil on the wall
Read the law and convince yourself
whether we have told the truth.

Cunning CRABS.

One of the clog Letters from the
Challenger" gives an entertaining &C
count of the crabs found on st. Paul's
Rocks, reef in the middle of the South
Atlantic. The islands are out of the
line of travel, and are little known.
They are occupied by the crabs and
the sea-fowl that nest in the grass.
But the crabs, those cheeky, exasper-
ating, but highly amusing crabs They

hind you and clawing piece Of bait or

crack two feet wide at least, which,

Brighten an old noddy from her nest,

with its long-stalked eyes, claw the dis
gorged fish, and make away with it rap

are therefore the rights of the parochial
