The objects of 1.-THE National League
for the Protection of American lnstitu-
tions,'' as stated in the Second Article of
it's Constitution, are ito secure constitu-
tional and legislative safeguards for the
protection of the common school system
and other American institutions, to pro-
mote public instruction in harmony
with such institutions, and to prevent all
sectarian or UNCONVENTIONAL appropria-
tions or public funds" AS an import
ant step to this end the League presents
the following form of an amendment to
the National Constitution.
N9 State shall pass any law rensgPeetng
free exercise thereof, OF use its property or
credit or any money raised by taxation, or
authorize either to be used, for the purpose of
founding, maintaining or aiding, by appropr1a-
ton, payment for services, expenses or other
wise. any church. religious denomination or re-
ligious society, or any institution, society, or
undertaking which is wholly or in part, under
sectarian or ecclesiastical control"
Only twenty-one of the forty-four
State constitutions contain provisions
against the violation of religious free
dom and expressly prohibit sectarian
appropriations; and it is believed that
only national provision can set these
questions at rest; therefore the forego-
ing proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States has been sub
mitted by the League and received the
approval regardless of differing religious
OF political faiths, of statesmen, jurists,
lawyers, publicists, divines, college pres
idents and professors, superintendent
of public instruction and others engaged
in educational work, and business men
among the formers of public opinion in
all the States Of the Union.
A similar amendment, proposed by
President Grant, was introduced by the
Hon. James G. Blaine, in the House of
Representatives on the 18th of December,
1875, was approved by the extraordinary
vote of $50 ayes to nays, but lost in the
Senate by Is ayes to II nays, lacking the
requisite majority of two-thirds. Both
the Republican and Democratic parties
have given clear and decided pledges to
the American people on the subjects.
On the 18th of June, 1877, the Republi-
can National Convention at Cincinnati
declared: "The public school system of
the United States is the bulwark of the
American Republic, and with view to
its security and permanence, we recon-
mend an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, forbidding the APP
plication of any public funds or property
for the benefit of any schools or institu-
lions under sectarian CONTROL The

Mr.. Dillon has served notice upon Mr..
Gladstone and the Irish Liberals that
Irish support cannot be counted upon if
Home Rule is pushed into the back
ground. AS the secession of the Irish
members would subject Mr.. Gladstone to
immediate defeat it is safe to say that
Mr.. Dillon's notice will be needed
though there is no just reason for believ-
ing that Mr.. Gladstone intended to treat
the Home Rule question otherwise thar
fairly.

A RAINIER RUMPUS.
Trouble in a District School Be-
tween Teacher and Pupil.

A Complaint Lodged Against the
Tutor for Cruelty 10 One OF
the ChiIdren--BOth Sides of the
story.
Wesley Wilkins a school teacher at
Rainier, will appear before Justice Rath-
bun, tomorrow, TO answer the charge of
cruelty to the son OF A. D. Smith, one of
his pupils. Wilkins was at one time en-
ployed in barber shop on Fourth street,
near Washington, and later became a fol-
lower of the Salvation Army. During his
service he secured teachers certificate,
and has since been devoting his time to en-
tightening the children at Rainier OF
course, there are two sides to the story,
which were related to Justice Rathbun sub
stantially as follows:
In his story concerning his son, the fa-
ther said that the boy was at the black
board, with the class in the rear of him. He
had occasion to get an eraser, in doing
which it was necessary to pass through the
class wilkins, the teacher, told him not
to return the same way, but to pass around
the side of the class. This the boy did. but
came in contact with another of the pupils
who was leaning against the wall, and
whispered to him to let him pass The
Smith boy passed, and went down the side
of the class to the blackboard. He no
sooner got there than Wilkins Jumped
through the same gap, grabbed the boy by
the collar and shook him. In doing this
the boys leg ssruck against something and
severely bruised it.
wilkins laarnad III, "a ba hOx1e CO. 4Lo. L., !
been informed of the occurrence and went
| Immediately to one of the directors and
laid the facts before him. Wilkins and
the director returned to the school house,
and In the meantime were Joined by a sec
ond director. When they reached the
school house they found the father and
his brother. The matter was discussed at
length and it appears that Wilkins agreed
to give up the school. The directors were
willing and the school closed
In the meantime petition was circulated
through the district to learn the opinion of
the pupils, and the petition was returned
urging that wilkins reopen the school. 1t
was signed by all the pupils save the Smith
boys, and, as a consequence, school re-
opened on Monday. Nothing more was
heard of the case until the bows father
came to town on Wednesday and filed a
complaint against Wilkins.
In his story of the affair wilkins tells
ABOUT Ine boy Delng generally lmpudent.
He says he grabbed the bOy and shook him
but the boy afterwards remarked, 81 got
no more than 1 deserved" Wilkins saws
that Smith and his brother came to the
school house after they had been informed
of the matter to give him (Wilkins) a rub
bing down. They swore at him and the
father took offhis coat, and sprung for Will
klns, but the directors who were present
interfered. Wilkins says Smith offered to
compromise the matter if Wilkins would
cease teaching. The matter will be fully
sifted tomorrow.

JUDGE mUNTER,s eRIEvANoE.
He Claims 10 Have Been Placed al
Great Disadvantage in Election.

Judge Hunter, ofChehalis Lewis county,
was i'll the city the day after election on
important business. He claims to have
been placed at great disadvantage in the
election on account of the way in which
his name appeared on the ballot. Mr.
Hunter was independent candidate for
superior judge, and the auditor in design
ing the ballot, printed his name at the foot
ofthe peoples party list. Many voters
overlooked his name on this account.
Others supposed that he had withdrawn
thus leading to his defeat. Mr.. Hunter
claims that column should have been al
lowed for independent candidates the same
as for the other parties. The fact that the
Independent candidates were limited in
number had nothing to do with the case,
so Mr.. Hunter claims. Eminent legal gem
tlemen of Olympia have advised him that
his name should have been more con-
spiciOus
