The Church and the Schools.

The state cannot oblige the church
to teach the rights aud needs and
OF citizenship. This Obligation
involves both the rights OF the child
and of the state, and rests largely
upon the parent. The statecanco compel
the performance of this obligation.
and can secure these rights by the
enactment and enforcement of COM
pulsory laws, binding upon parents
and guardians, as theconditiou of the
free existence of civil and religious hb-
erty. If the church pretends in its
schools to give the education that the
state rightfully requires, then the state
must know the fact by having super
visory access to the schools. When
the limits of church ard state author
ity in matters OF education are prop
erly defined, in accord with the pur-
pose and spirit and iutent of repub-
Iican institutions, and when by each
their normal and legitimate work is
honestly performed, harmony will
The American people will
secure this result even if they arecom-
PEELED to conquer Il peace, and make
that peace perpetual by constitutional
entertainments. Compulsory educa-
Iion laws are presupposed in the right
of a people to govern themselves.
Such laws are only opposed in this
country by those who would employ
ecclesiastical compulsion to secure
attendance on sectarian schools. We
trust the day is not far distant when
the scope of education which the state
has a right to require in its common
schools will be definitely and uni
iormly determined, and the debate
concerning the attitude of the state
toward church schools and concern
ing the opposition to state schools
and to compulsory laws and their en-
forcement will be ended. But in this
debate the state will assuredly insist
upon it's right and duty to secure for
it's youthful citizens efficient ele-
mentary education, including the his
tory and laws of the country.-From

ANNEXING HAWAII.

The probabilities are that this govern
ment will not tlke hasty action in the
matter of annexing Hawaii, although it
will throw its protecting arm around
the island and allow no other nation to
gain u foothold there. This much is
necessary and desirable. While the
population is such that the island might
prove a source of annoyance if an
nexed, the advantages from a com
mercial standpoint must not be over
looked. Now that Uncle SAINTS getting
anavy together it is also important that
we have coaling stations and a port OF
refuge in the Pacific ocean. 1t will not
do to permit England or any other
foreign power to gain possession of the
island. The following in relation to
the inhabitants and of the
country may prove of interest to some
of our readers:
The Sandwich Islands, Of which Hawaii
is the most noted, are "a rich and beautiful
chain, eight in number, and are situated
midway in the Pacific ocean, forming an
oasis in the center Of a wide ocean waste,
and a convenient station for the refresh
ment and repair of whalers that traverse
the bosom OF the deep" They are OF vol
canic origin, and contain the largest vol
canoes, both active and quirscent. in the
known world. Some OF the mountain peaks
are covered with perpetual snow. The
island of Hawaii contains the largest active
volcano in the world. The volcano has an

The Montana Democrat, in it's last
issue, contained the opinions of four
wool firms relative to the effects of the
national election on the wool market.
These Jour firms were selected from a
great number that were solicited to
give their opinion in the American
Sheep Breeder of Chicago. 1t is a
singular fact that every n of these
firms quoted are "noted for their OBJ
scurity." We doubt whether Montana
wool growers ever heard of the ma
jority OF them. The firms quoted are,
George Follett 4 Co., New York, HI.
Piser &Co., Mobile, Alabama, S. Green
baum & Co., Cincinnati, and H. C.
Thatcher & Co., Boston. About fif-
take a directly opposite view. A. &.
Schlesinger, of San Francisco, closes
an able article as follows: "Finally,
free trade i'll wool will mean a deple-
ton of our stocks, and a very much
larger importation o. wool with low
prices until we are driven from the
field, then the importer and the owner
of the foreign wool will ask what they
ike" No great decline in wool prices
is anticipated as long as the Mckinley
law is in force. Open our ports to
free wool, then it will be demonstrated
whether supply and demand" will
regulate the price to the advantage of
American wool growers, or not.
