Two weeks ago Mr.. Kennedy, of Ohio, in
. speech in the house said naughty things
about the senate in general, and two repub-
ican senator's in particular. The speech
was challenged at the time as breach of
courtesy due between the two houses.
The speech did not appear in the Congress
aonal Record until two weeks after it was
spoken, and then in corrected form, with
much of the personal charges eliminated.
There was enough left in it, however, to
wake up question of privilege, and a reso-
luton declaring that the house condemned
such uncourteous utterances. This was made

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1890-04-19

The new White Star Line screw
steamer Majestic, which arrived at
New York on Thursday, gained the
glory of having made the fastest
maiden voyage across the ocean on
record, having made the run from
Queenstown to the Hook in 6 days,
lOa hours, beating the famous maiden
voyage by the Tentonic by 8 hours and
26 minutes. The beauty of it was
that the captain Of the Majestic had
no thought of making a race, and hav-
ing encountered head seas and strong
gales during part Of the voyage, real
lied he was making no such speed as
the vessel was capable of in more
favorable weather. The result is re-
garded as a demonstration OF the
superiority of the three over the four
bladed screw, the Majestic being the
first of the ocean flyers equipped with

We are i'm receipt of pamphlet
Of some thirty pages processing 10
give the Objections Of the German
Lutherans to the present Compulsory
School Law Of Illinois. 1t claims to
proceed from "the German Luthern
committee" but who the committee
are or where and by whom appointed,
is not stated. The document starts
out with this statement: 1--WE DO
not object to all children of suitable
age being compelled by law to attend
some school. We want no truants.
A general elementary education is one
of the strongest safeguards of our
political institutions. If parents re-
fuse to send their children to school,
let the law compel them TO attend to
their duty. What We oppose Is THIS
law, this kind of cOmpulsion; because
1t is unnecessary, unjust, and danger
Gus to liberty of conscience and re-
ligion." There is no objection even
made to the requirement that the
English language shall be taught.
The broad principle Of compulsory ed
ucation and in the English language
is fully yielded, the objections being
confined entirely 70 minor details OF
the law: such as the requirement that
if children are not sent to parOchial
instead of public schools, the former
must he within the district where the
parents reside, whereas there may be
no such school in that district; the
arbitrary power the law gives school
boards, the members of which are
often themselves unable to read and
write, to Judge whether a given pri-
vate school is a competent school I'M
der the law or not, etc, etc. 1t even
expresses a willingness to assent to a
state examination Of teachers OF parO-
chial schools to ascertain their fitness
to teach English.
Obviously these are all minor mat
tiers that can be easily overcome by
careful and judicious amendment of
the law, and need not necessarily in
volvc the danger to which at present
it exposes our public schools, of be-
ing dragged into politics. So far as
the state is concerned, it can have
but one purpose, and that is, that
every child shall receive a certain
amount of education In the English
language. Certainly 1t is not neces-
sary that the rights, preferences, no
tions or whims Of any religious de-
nomination shall be sacrificed to yield

DOOM.

As no dispatches were received last
night announcing the destruction of
Chicago and Milwaukee, or San Fran
cisco and Oakland, pursuant to the
prophesy of the California Doom
Sealcrs," it IS reasonable conclusion
that the Oakland seer, Mr.. Erickson,
is not only no prophet, but either an
impostcr or lunatc. 1t was hardly
to bc expected that as proud, stiil-
necked and unimpressiblc people as
those OF Chicago and Milwaukee,
would take much stock in prophesy
originating in an outside, far of un-
important city like Oakland. If the
ancient doom sealer," Jonah, had to
proceed in person TO Nineych to he
heard, though the journey involved
such perils by the way as being Swal-
lowed by a whale, was it suppoSablc
that Chicago would demand any less
of the California doom sealcr than
that he uttered his proclamation an
proprio persona in her own streets?
So Chicago treated the doom pro-
nounced against her with indifference
and contempt, not IA man, 50 far as
heard from, providing himself with a
skill or even a plank to float away on
when the great tidal wave rushed in.

prophet, incredulity and contempt

The death of Samuel j. Randall,
which had so long been looked for,
was known to be iminent all last
week and occurred Sunday morning,
is announced with full details in our
Geographic columns, and needs little
further reference here. Mr.. Randall
was man Of great ability and for
years the acknowledged Democratic
leader of the house, the party electing
him twice to the speakership; but of
late years his party leadership was
measurably lost by his course on the
tariff question. Living as he did in
state where the iron and coal indus
tries were strongly intrenched, and
when great fortunes had been built up
at the expense Of the workingmen by
the prohibitory duties, Mr.. Randall
became imbued with state prejudices
and was unable to follow the broad
policy of his party. In his course he
was undoubtedly sincere, and his
views were not the fault of his heart,
but of his surroundings. A congress
sional district that gave republican
majority of many thousands on state
issues regularly returned Mr.. Randall
to congress because he was of as much
service to republican high taritfas a
republican would have been.

The United States secret service de-
tectives. who had been working on
the Jessie White case ever since the
suicide of that unfortunate young
woman at Joliet, have ended their
labors, coming to the conclusion that
Jessie was her own prosecutor, all the
letters except two being, according to
their judgment, in Miss Whites own
handwriting. The two exceptions are
the letters sent from Kansas, which
are in mans handwriting, and which,
their theory is, were written by some
waggsh drummer for his own amuSe-
ment about the time JesSies cousin
was being tried on suspicion OF writ
ing the letters. They say she was the
victim of a form OF mania known as
sategriasis whatever that may mean),
a not uncommon case. On the other
hand the citizens of Joliet are indig-
nant at this decision Of the govern
ment officials. They say the latter
had prejudiced the case before they
commenced its investigation, and
worked only to confirm their own I'M
founded theory. The family are almost

The position of decided opposition
to the reelection of Senator Ingalls, to
the United States Senate by the Far
mers' Alliance of Kansas has brought
that gentleman down from his high

ance. Why bless you, gentlemen, he
cries, when you say have done moth
ing in my long career to favor your in
terests, you are altogether mistaken.
II am cordially in sympathy with the
demands for such legislation as will
relieve the agricultural and laboring
classes from their burdens. The SEN
ate has actively engaged in the consid-
Grafton of measures for the suppress
sion of trusts, monOpolies and combi-
nations, and | offered an amendment
to prevent gambling in agricultural
products, which will undoubtedly be-
come law during the present session.
am in favor of the free coinage OF
silver, cheaper transportation and the
revision of the tariff"
The conversion of ingalls, from an
opponent of the free coinage of silver
to its advocate, and from an extreme
protcctionist to tariff reformer Is as
sudden as that of Senator Allison was
and proceeds no doubt from the same
lofty ulsa-thp desire to secure his
reelection to the United States Sen
ate. But sudden conversions are pro
verbally liable to as sudden relapse'
