THE CLERICALs AND THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

We Americans have an idea that we are
more sensitive about maintaining our pub
lie schools as purely secular institution
than any other nation. But we are mis-
taken; wherever there are public schools
that belong to the people those people are
just as jealous Of their freedom from cleri-
cal Interference as we are. A battle
waged over those of the city of London
which ended last Friday in the defeat
OIL the clericals, shows this. The
public schools of London have 477.000
scholars, 5000 teachers and 4l9 school
houses, and an annual appropriation of
81 500. 0U0. Marching right along side of
them are what are called the ~ oluntary
schools supported by voluntary contri-
buttons, supplemented by parliamentary
grants. They have 49S schools with o., 900
scholars, and in them there is religious ill.,
struction from, chiefly, clergy Of the Church
of England. For long time the clericas
have been seeking to cripple the public
schools and have quietly worked to
get control of the School Board of London.
Finally they got a good ma GRITTY on the
Board and proceeded straightway to cut
down the efficiency Of the public schools OIL
the score of economy. They abolished the
musical instruction, did away with
the swimming baths, broke up the Tree
lunches given the children Of the poor who
could bring no food from home. over
crowded the school buildings by refusing
to erect new ones and when they did erect
them built them in out -of-the-way neigh
borhoods where they could not be of bene
fit-thus leaving $1,000 poor children with
no schools to go to unless they sought ad
mission in the clerical schools. Tnese
things brought Oh q fierce effort of the ,eo-
pie to get their schools Jack under their
own control, and for months they have
been preparing for the election of members
of the school Board when took place -last
Friday. The candidates of the people ran
under the name of the Progressives, while
the Clerical candidates ran under their own
Name The result Was that the Progress
bers, while the Clericals cast $4,000 votes
aid elected q members. Miss Davenport
Hill. a Progressive, led all the other Cali
didates by 5000 votes, and the Duke Of
Newcastle. also Progressive, came next to
her. The meaning of the election is under
stood to be that religious Instruction shall
not lie given in the Public Schools which
are supported by the taxation of people of
all religious beliefs. The old Board under
the control of the clericals contributed
much to its own defeat by issuing a circu
lar when they felt secure in their places,
saying in effect that it would he grossly
dishonest for ANY Jew, Unitarian OF Ag
nostic, to apply for employment under the
Board"

should; But on the other hand, if he relies
for success On a general statement shat more
OF less fraud, by throwing out votes by reason
of the Walton law-bgt without evidence OF
such fraud but expecting that the large Re

him that he is building on unsafe ground
AS we know the Republican party it Will not

From several influential quarters comes
the proposition that the Walton election law
should be amended SO as to do away with the
special constable feature-in effect, in short,
to put it out of the power Of illiterate men to
vote.
1t seems to us that this is rather more than
Legislature has authority to do. const-
tutonal convention would probably be need
ed to effect that reform.
But all that is now being written and spok-
en- on this subject goes to show that our people
are determined to have an end of election
agitation in Virginia. -R5clmond Dispatch
The provisions of the Virginia and West
Virginia constitutions relative to suffrage
are We believe substantially if not exactly
alike. Under their constitution the West
Virginia legislature adopted I'll Australian
ballot which contains 40 provision for as
sistance IN asey shape to the alliterate
Uoter. VIZ have Oh our table two West
Virginia ballots brought here few days
ago by Hon. T. f. N. Speck a member of
the Virginia House of Delegates, on his
return from West Virginia. One of the
ballots was used in the Presidential cleo
ton of 1892, the same election III which
GOV. Mc;torkle and a Democratic State
| ticket were voted for. The othel ballot is
that used in the congressional election this
| month. at which members of the legislature
were also elected. The ballots contain the
Candidates of each party printed on a yer
tlcal line and at the top Democratic
Ticket, ''kepublican Ticket" ''Prohibi
tion Ticket" and Peoples Party Ticket y

weeks that is tie limit we think-befOre

any person allowed within forty feet of the
polls. Ii The VI est Virginia legislature
under their constitution could adopt this
law. we think a Virginia legislature under
Our constitution could adopt ballot law
without assistance to the illiterate. We
hope the Dispatch will look further into
this matter. 1t is right in saying "our
people are determined to have all end OF
election agitation i'll Virginia" and it
mignt have added our people are determin-
ed to put an end to the voting of masses of
ignorant negroes. They believe that the

murder may as well be repealed. In Cliff
ton Forge recently railroad conductor
named Goodman. with a private grievance
against Col. II. C. Parsons, called him out
into the lobby Of 4 hotel and deliberately
assassinated him, shooting to death an I'M
armed man. Put on the stand he justified
himself straight along with the old story
that Parsons threw his hand behind him
towards his hip pocket. Recently in Rich
mond. man named McNamee, a paper
hanger, with private grievance against
Lee Atwell. a locomotive engineer, went at
night with friend, the friend went in and
called AtweIl out, ana McNamee assassi
mated him, shooting the unarmed man to
death. Put upon TIL stand he justified
himself straight along with the old story
that Atwell threw his hand behind him
towards his zap poo ct. lie jury only

on the same day 4 WAS tried for steal
ing calf, and not being able, we suppose,
10 prove that the calf had hip pocket, was

Had the calf had "a hip pocket, the accused
would have been acquitted on the ground
of self defense.
In the mean time, of the two assassins.
one, McNamee, is reported as preparing to
take his unjust punishment with "a clear
conscience and the other, Goodman. who
got eighteen years instead of the gallows,
is represented as sitting in his cell reading
his Bible and waiting for a higher court to
relieve him from an unjust penalty award
ed by prejudiced judge and a partial jury.
Whatever else the hip pocket may be
used for, it is certainly Invaluable as a
hiding place for murderers.
