dren Upon Public schools.

DUBUQUE, IA, June lathe Lutheran
synod, IN session in this city, adopted
unanimously long series of resolutions
touching their attitude on the pubic
school question and compulsory educa-
cation. They refer to the legislation of
recent date In several states and say in,
part:
We consider public schools neoessit.,
on account OF conditions created by the
Constitution of the United States, espe.
cialiy in its relations to the church. AS
American citizens we are Obliged and are
willing to contribute to the maintenance
Of public schools, although we are
thereby burdened more than other citi-
zens in maintaining our own paroohial
schools. The establishing and msinte-
nance OF Christian schools Is with us n
matter of conscience. hot con-
sidering the fact that we wish
to preserve for our children the
precious blessing of the German lam
guage, instruction in this language could
not be given up IL we bear in mind the
present state OF our congregations-con-
sistins mostly of recently immigrated
membere-if we wish to preserve our
children for the Lutheran Church. For
the maintenance of our paroohisl schools
we claim no support of the state, and
protest against the nfe of public school
unds for parochial or private schools.
We favor compulsory attendance at
school, If thereby it is understood
the general principle that parents
shall send their children to school it,
however, being left TO their discretion 10
select ths school to which they wish to
send their children. We are opposed to
compulsory attendance if thereby is
understood compulsory attendance at the
public school. Ii is not IL accord with a
spirit OF the constitution CT the United
States or different states whars lava are
made which lirnit perfect liberty Of
religions law. We declare we will oppose
such laws that restrain religious liborty
and especially threhten the continuance
or independence OF our psrochial acaooi'
with ali legal and moral means just..

The First New wneat.

The Baltimore Sun says: On the ssies-
book of the Baltimore Corn sud Flour
Exchange was entered June 1lth sale of
the first new wheat. 1t was lot Of 90
bushels from Virginia, and went OF $1.25
per bushel. The Daily Produce Report
said of this first arrival of new wheat
1.-THE first receipt of new wheat reached
this market consigned to skinner d Co.,
I3 West Pratt street. 1t was lot of 49
bags, soy about 100 bushels, of the Fultz
variety, and was shipped by X. Fl. Wood
ward of Urbanna, Middlesex county, Va.
Sold to Willi'm E. Woodyear i Co.,
millers, at $l.25. Condition and quality
were very fair considering the early
season at which it was shipped. The first
arrival last year was on June 18th from
Lancaster county, Va, and brought $l.50
per bushel.

IL is the Garrett Interests who are
PurchRsers. .#

furChRbers.
The New York Fleming Post, yesterday
Goek, in Its financial article says: "Most
persons have thought that the purchase
Of the block OF Baltimore & Ohio stock
from the city of Baltimore was made in
the interest of either the Richmond Ter
animal Company or the Northern Pacific.
We have, however, She most Trustworthy
information that neither of these oorpo-
rations is interested in the purchase;
but, On the contrary, that the Garrett
interest formed the nucleus OF a syndicate
which has bOught the stock for the pur-
pose of maintaining the Independence Of
tine Baltimore Il Ohio, instead OF allowing
il to fall into the hands OF and thereby
becoming Hubservient to the interests OF
any other corporation. This does not
ny any means indicate that tbs Baltimore
& Ohio will ever again assume that sg-
gressiye attitude of seven or eight years
ago, by which il antsgonizsd all
the trunk lines and also all the
cypress companies aud telegraph lines

Garrett management until the surplus

cont on its SIS 500u, 900 of stock, down to
$36, 1853, or next to nothing, on the stock

nor for sale and found no purchaser. On
the contrary, the syndicate will be gov
erned largely by the policy of the banker,
who helped the Baltimore q Ohio out Of
its difficulties three years ago. This
policy has slready resulted in restoring
the earning capacity of the property,
and 1t ia believed by those who have ex
oelient opportunities for knowing thai
the earnings over fixed charges are nov
equal to fully 10 per cent on the stock
II is this which has induced the forma

In connection with the censure passed
upon President Harrison and Vice-presi-
dent Morton, by the Synod of the Re-
formed Presbyterian Church of America,
on the former for drinking wine and on
the latter for selling it, and the words of
praise layished by the same body upon
the strictly temperate Wsnamaker,
World correspondent writes
Although very piops, the Postmaster
General is not at oil devoid of humor. He
finds lots of fun in telling his friends
how uncomfortable ne felt at the dinner
which he gave to the cabinet, and which
was attend, d also by some other leading
public men like Vice-President Morton,
Speaker Read aud Tom Platt. As soon aH
they entered the dining.room the guests
took seats and Immediately started in to
chat pleasantly all around. That, how
ever, was not in eccordancs with tho
strict religious decoruul Of MIR. Wsna-
makers house. The Postmaster General
stood up at the head of the table. The
party wondered why he did not sit down,
and what he was waiting for. He was
waiting for the silence which at Wana-
makers table always precedes the prayer
| The guests didn't 'scatch on" 80 to
speak, until Mr.. Wanamaker had actually
10 extend his arms and spread out his
supplisnt hands in a kind of mute appeal
for attention. The prayerfui attitude
of the host brought the guests to their

dinner with very humble hearts. Mr..
Wanamaker DOESN'T hesitate to declare
that, as social affair, that dinner was 8
dismal failure. Apollinaries was the most
inspiring drink on the table from begin
ming to end, and 1t failed to reilly the
guests who had been so demoralized al
the beginning.
It was after that dinner that Secretary
Blaine is said to have told that storI
about the relative prominence Of wine
and water in the Scriptures. "Wine,
ssrd the Secretary, ''is frequently paeD
toned with favor in the Scriptures
When our Saviour came upon earth ON
of the first things he did to prove Hi
divinity was to turn water into wine
and, when about to take his departure
one of the last things he did to show Lii
love for His disciples was to give then
wine sd lib., and to enjoin them to drinl
1t often in remembrance of Him. On tn
other hand" said the Secretary, 'yo
may search the whole length and breadt
of the Scriptures, and you will find onl
one man who ever mentioned water. II
only asked for n single drop of water
and he was in hell, which in ali proba
bility was the place for him."

Thc Post-ofttce Need. Repatrs.

The Wilmington post-otfi,e is badly in
need of repairs in fact is in worse con-
dition than any public building in this
city. The post-office department lie ed
peoially in need of immediate attention
and even though Wilmington is probably
to have new public building this section
of the structure now in use should be
given an immediate oyerhRuling. One
of the worst features about the post, Office
is the condition Of the hundreds OF private
letter boxes for the rent Of which the
government receives large sum annually.
They are insecure and in some instances
the fronts are ready to fall out. Every
once in while the locks take q spell and
persist IN refusing to yield to the p-es-
sure of the key. This does not odd to
.he public convenience to any marked
extent nor does il add to the store OF good
temper OF a box holder to be unable to
secure his mail, simply because the lock
has stubborn spell. There are many
other similar annoyances to bs met with
in the post-ofice. The authorities at
Washington are responsible for this
general dalapiission, as they have been
notified frequently of tho condition oi
the poss-cs5,e appointments,
