JERSEY CITY. N. j.. March 20s-Rav.
John Scudder of Jersey City tabernacle
last night preached ON the subject of paro-
chal schools in connection with the bill
recently introduced into the New Jersey
legislature In part be said:
''The public school is the foundation of
American liberty, and any man who trias
to undermine it Is traitor to his country
and the enemy of free people. Oar sys-
tenn of popular education is the pride aud
glory of this nation aud every loyal Ameri-
can citizen will uphold it VITA ALI the
energy of his being To surrender our
national birthrignb TO sectarian prejudice,
or compromise with an 1asldlons priest
hood, would be the hsight Of cowardic
and forerunner OF oppression.
I'VE are on the eve OF controversy
which is destined to agitate this country
from Maine to California. There is 4 Sc {
purpose on the part-of certain foreign
element in our population to impair our
public school system. If we are patriots.
stand firm and show bold front, we have
naught to fear, for those who believe ii ths
public school system are overwhelming gIy
in the majority, and always will be. We
can perpeUuate the policy OF our fathers,
who gave their lives for the light and lib
erty we now enjoy.
a new policy has been inauguratsd. II
proposes that Catholics through leglsla-
tion shall go TO the public school treasury
and help THEMSELVES; in other words, that
church schools shall bs supported at pub
lie expense. A bill with these provisions
has been recently introduced in the iegis-
lature OF New Jersey, but, naturally, il
died sudden death. l am glad 20 see this
issue coming TO the front so rapidly. We
might as well settle it now once for all,
and save an endless amount OF bitterness
and sectarian strife The theory of OUR
government isthat state and church must
90 forever separate"

THE BEST SYSTEM OF FORTiFlCA-
TiOM

Is that adopted by people in precarious
health, who wisely fortify their systems
against diseases with that acceptable and
effectual barrier against its inroads-Hos-
letters Stomach Bitters. Precautionary
measures, when the health is but slightly
impaired is. as physicians well know,
worth any amount of medication after
ward. A premonitory malarial chill, fit
of indigestion, increasing irregularity of
the bowels. warning rheumatic twinge,
inactivity OF the kidneys, slight at first,
bilious sallowness, accompanied with
furred tongue-these are appeals to the
sense of self-proIectIon which no person
of common judgment will disregard. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters preserves those
who take 1t from malaria. dyspepsia,
chronic constipation, rheumatism, kidney
and bladder trouble and liver complaint.
Nervous invalids, persons troubled with
the iufrmities incident to advanced years,
ladies in delicate health aud conva!esceuts
derive infinite benefit from the Bitters.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 20-John Y. Moi
att, who is wanted by the senate investi-
eating committee relative to the Doodle
charges against the populist state officers,
was in Topeka yesterday, but left last
night for Oklahoma. This morning the
senate investigating committee started
Sergeant-at-Arms johnson on his track,
with instructions to bring him forthwith.
Moffitt is the witness Major J. X. Hudson
relies upon to prove the charges made in
his paper.
The industry of the popuiists. in seeking
to expose the corruption during the session
of the late legislature, has stirred up the
Republicans, who are about ready 10
spring another sensation on Kansas City,
Kan. They are unwilling to give names
and details until they get their witnesses
before the committees. The story has no
connection with the original subject of in
vestigation, and it is possible that the
committee may vote not to go into 1t.
The story, briefly told, is that two purses
lone of $500 and one of s200-were raised
10 defeat the Wyandotte county fee bill
and the bill abolishing the court of CON-
mon pleas of that county. Seven persons
subscribed to the former fund and three
to the latter.
The money was given to one Of their
number to handle, and he called into
counsel two other men. These two men
testified before the committee last week
that they knew of no Doodle used or sup
posed to be used on any member Of the
legislature. If this new story be true. the
men who acted as witnesses to the $500
transaction went to Topeka bank, where
the money was deposited subject to the
order of members of the legislature should
they succeed in defeating the bill. Both
bills were defeated. 1t is reported that a
man who was not member of the iegis-
lature secured the fee bill and burned it.

THE WHISKY TRUST

CHICAGO, March 20.-The legislative

gitimate. He explained several matters at

the company would fight all attempts to
bring its books before the committee, and
that if the committee went into the alleged
relations of George L. Gibson to the trust
his clieuts would Withdraw from the meet

THE MINNESOTA coal COMBINE


ST. PAUL, Minu., March 20.-The coal
combine fight grows more exciting hourly.
The legislature and the district court have
been arrayed against each other. The
court ordered the detention of the SER
geant-at- arms Of the house, and this morn
ing had Representative Walsh called be-
fore it. and demanded possession of the
letter-book ot the coal combine Mr..
Walsh refused to acknowledge the su-
premacy of the court SO far as giving up
the book was concerned; nor would he
tell where the book could be found. At
the time Mr.. Walsh was before the court
the senate was considering the house Joint
resolution instructing the investigating
committee to retain the letter book. Sen
gtor Ignatius Donnelly made another of
his scorching speeches when Senator San
born wanted to have the legislature with
draw and leave the whole matter to the
decision of the court. He denounced not
only the coal combine. but in the strongest
terms excoriated Judge Egan, whose per-
soual character rs well as official acts were
attacked. The resolution was adopted by
vote of 81 to 3.
In the house an even warmer debate was
indulged in. Threats of impeachment of
Judge Egan for OBTAINING an officer and a
mem ber of the legislature were freely eX-
pressed. Various methods of procedure
were proposed. Finally call of the house
was ordered, ana Assistant Sergeant at
arms Wella was instructed to bring into
the house the body of Represent ative
Walsh, detained by the district court. The
greatest feeling WAS expressed during the
debate, and several speakers advocated
the passage of resolutions instructing the
governor TO call out the militia TO enforce
the orders of the Legislature.
When Assistant Sergeant-at-ArmsW Wells
appeared in the district court Judge Egan
was about to announce his decision on
Representative Walsh's refusal to give up
the letter book or to disclose Its where
abouts. The appearance and the demand
of Mr.. Wells for the custody of Represen
tatlye Walsh SO disconnected the judge
that Mr. Wells and Mr. Walsh walked out,
wlthou. any attempt at OBTAINING them,
as also did Ser2eant-at-Arms Soult. who
had been under arrest since Friday. II is
currently reported that the matter will be
at once taken before the supreme court.
The talk OF Impeachment Of Judge Egan
Is very strong iii the legislature.
This afternoon Judge Egan dismissed
the whole proceeding and peace reigns
once more, although the temper of The
legislature is still very much ruffied
Judge Reads decision In the case OF
Representative Walsh, admitting the
power of the legislature and of the legisla-
live committee TO retain possession of the
letter-book, and stating that Mr. Walsh
had appeared voluntarily and had at no
time been under arrest, further stated that
everything had been done legally, and that
no error had been committed nor law
transgressed. Without SAYING further
the cours directed the discharge of the
order to show cause.
