rhn nId Testament in SchooIs.

The Old Testament i'm Schools.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
A Norwich clergy man has written
to the board of education of that city
a vigorous protest against the read
ing from the Old Testament in pub
lie school exercises of passages de-
scriptive of blOOdshed and MUIR
der. He called the boards
atten ton to the fact that one
teacher had selected for reading on
successive occasions chapters descrip-
tive of human sacrifice, stonlng and
tOrturing of human beings, murder,
and passages of .blOodthirsty threats
and denunciatiOns. All this the
clergyman in question thinks is
wrong arguing that "there is enough
that is beautiful, helpful and comfort
ing in the Bible without reading such
selections" This is very true, but it
does not settle the question. What
should decide the matter is the pur-
pose Of the reading. Is it for devO-
| tional ends, or is it merely to familiar
| ize the pupils with the scriptures
1t the design is to inculcate n spirit
OF Christianity, then nothing could
be more useless than the reading of
the impreca,ory prayers, cruel laws
and bloody incidents which are found
in the Old Testament. On the other
hand, if the teachers are pursuing
the ends of education and historical
instruction, these illustrate of tt e
savage spirit Of the ancient Jews are a
highly important part OF the study,
Certainly no good instructor would
neglect to describe the brutalities OF
the French revolution because they
would not cultivate a proper spirit
among the students. But we suspect
that the Norwich clergyman is
sound in his protest, because the
reading of the passages of Scripture
is ordinarily placed in the opening
devotional exercises of the school,
accompanied by prayer and the sing
ing of a hymn. The reading under
such conditions of the chapters re-
ferred to is foolish and perhaps harm
full. 1t is one thing to teach a child
the history of the ancient Jews and
another to read him that history for
his religious improvement.

The New York Evening Post intimates
that Hill has decided to accept an election
to the Senate, for the reason that he sees
that an attempt to capture the Presidential
nomination will prove abortive. The Posts
attitude toward Hill in the past has not been
such as to be likely to lead him to make 1t
the repository of his intentions, and there
fore the statement can hardly be accepted as
authoritative, especially as the New York
Sun. which stands much nearer the Govern
or, intimates that there is nothing In the
story. II we were going to guess we should
guess that the Posts wish was the parent
of its statement as to the Governors inten-
lions. Undoubtedly Bill is just now giving
the Mugwamps great concern. Though they
sneer at his pretensions they are yet afraid
OF him. The farmers, who are largely re-
sponsible for the Democratic victories in the
West this fall, have specific programme In
their mind which they want to see carried
out. They are for the unlimited coinage of
silver and they want the national banks
abolished and the paper currency issued d-
rect by the government. Both of these
schemes Cleveland is opposed to, while Hill
Is not committed in regard to them and
his character is such as not to preclude
his espousal of them, If he thought it would
bring him votes, no matter what his private
opinions in regard to them might be. Hill
can therefore bid much higher for this sup
port than Cleveland did. In New York also
h. can command more strength than Gle, e.
laud. for Tammany is at his back. If he re-
mains in the fl Id be will certainly app. al
tion searching for the candidate who will
command the most votes, and Mugwamp OPP
position to him is likely to help rather than
hurt him. 1t is easy to see therefore why
the Mugwamps who desire Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination should wish to see Hill dis
possd off hafnre 1892. and why they should
regard with crmplacency his elevation to the
United States Senate.

The Argus again neglects to explain why
1t is that refined sugars cannot be imported
under the Mckinley bill.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1890-11-24

Inc PRESS has now drifred far away from the
posns AZ y sue IN us contention with the Argus on
sne sugar tarin Our position was ana is, that the
sugar scntuule OF The Mckinley bin was drafted
IN the interests OF the Sugar Trust, and not In the
interests OF the people at large: The Mills bill
which was killed by the Republican Senate has
no logical place In the present discussion. he
Mills tariff bills dead bill, while the Mckinley
tarln law Is avery live law-LArgus
What your position is it is difficult to say.
What 1t was is clear. It was that the Nc
Kinley bill practically taxed the consumer
two cents pound more for sugar. This was
your language:
Take the sugar schedule in the Mckinley bill;
carefully read Its provisions and you will ind that
instead OF giving he consumes free sugar 1t
praclic lily taxes them two cents pound more
jor this commodity, Tor the free importation law
relates only to unrefined sugars and not to such
as are used on the family table.
Now for two weeks past we have been try
Ing to get you to point out where this alleged
Increase of two cents comes in,
and have utterly failed. You have de-
livered yourself of a number of stirring
dispositions upon the ihiquity of the sugar
trust. but the source of this alleged increase
OF two cents is as much mystery as ever.
The Mills bill is dead to be sure, but it has a
very distinct bearing upon the pending con-
troversy because you supported it and de-
clared that 1t was measure In the interest
OF the people in spite of the fact which you
cannot deny that 1t gave tenth of cent
more protection to the sugar trust than the
Mckinley bill. and also because Mr..
Mills declared that under it the importa-
tion of refined sugar would be possible to
prevent the sugar trust from charging exor-
bitant prices, while you declare that such
importation will not be possible under the
Mckinley bill. though the duty is one-tenth
OF cent less. The best thing for you TO do
Is to frankly acknowledge that you blum
dered, as you know you did, and as every
body else knows you did, who has tried to
follow your twistings and turniags.

NERVOUS PROSlRATION.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 8, 1890.
MR.. A. L. MURDOCH:
Dear Sir:
My son, twelve years of age, has.been suffering
from shock TO his nervous system for about
three years. His nerves were entirely shattered
so that we could not keep him 10 school for any
length OF time. Neither doctors nor medicines
did him any good but he grew steadily worse, and
finally had species Of st Yltus dance. At last
we gave up every medicine, and began giving him
Murdocks Food. He soon began to improve.
After taking two large bottles he gained strength
enough to enter the Boys Latin School, Greatly
to surprise aud that OF his former teachers he
has managed to attend that school constantly
without single absence for the last two months
He shows no sign of breaking down again, and Is
on the road to complete recovery. HIS improve
ment Is due entirely TO Murdock's Food, and we
propose to continue its till he is the strongest
member Of the family.
Yours very truly,
G.F. ORDwAY,

Commodore Arthur E. Bateman lives
quite differently. He comes to his Office
in Broadway only upon rare occasions
during the summer solstice. His yacht
Meteor is put in commission early in
the season, and the jolly comm0-
dore goes aboard at once. He
seldom dotfs his yachting suit I'M
til late in the fall, spending the in
term in cruising around among South
ern cities accessible by water. and COM
ing back to this city only upon urgent
business. He made a comfortable
fortune in his youth and is enjoying it
while yet in the prime Of life. The one
great relaxation for him is his steam
yacht.
Commodore James D. Smith, ex
president of the stock exchange, is
another jolly tar, but he don't spend as
much of his time aboard his yacht as
Commodore Bateman does aboard the
Meteor Commodore Smiths summer
home is at New Rochelle, and tuere he
spends his midsummer nights. His days
are given up to business. but he gets
plenty of oxygen in coming to and from
New Rochelle i'll his yacht every day.
He, TOO, is devoted to yachting as pas
time, but his business commands his at
tention from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m, almost
every day the year around.

railroad stocks and government bonds.
His principal recreation is in making
"privileges," and in seeing the holders
of his puts" "calls" and "straddles"
chasing the nimble dollar which his
paper seldom gives them.

HOW TO HOLD A HUSBAND,

A Hint to Ladies About the Man.
agement of Men, From a Sugges-
ton Made by the Chief Steward of
a Club.
Many wife mas been unable to retain her
husband at home because her meals have not
been such as he enjoyed. AS result, he
would perhaps go to some cafe or his club 10
dine where he was reasonably sure of secur-
ing palatable food. If the task has been so
difficult for the wife, how much more diff
cult must it be for the steward of the club
or cafe, who caters to so many different
tastes, and tastes that are so critical. Per-
haps the institution most noted for It's fine
cooking in America is the Union Club OF
New York All manner of the most delicate
dishes are there arranged and prepared. 1t
may therefore be of interest to ladies' us well
as to proprietors of hotels i'll general, to
know that the chief steward of the Union
ing Powder in the preparation of the various
dishes where baking powder is required.
Thatit produces the finest results with the
most delicate of food shows conclusively its
superior qualities. not only for purity but
tor power and excellence. 1t is a new pow
der and is being used by the best and most
prominent people in the land. 1t has be-
come remarkably popular entirely on its mer
its. for the lightest and whitest bread and
cake are made where it is used, and it has
many features unknown to any of the older
powders. Its purity is beyond question, and
the results it is securing are often quite re-
markable. Remember that the name it bears,
"Thepure.'' implies that it is a superior
article. You can make trial for trffing
cost and secure valuable satisfaction. The
best grocers sell it.
