Bigotry's First Step.

The immediate effect of the le;olu-
tion of Representative Morse of Massa-
chusetts to put God in the Constitu-9
tion is a fair warning of the INDUSTRIOUS
blunder which the proposal embojies.
1t is reported from Washington that
intense feeling has been aroused among
the advocates and opponents of the
resolution. II is proposed to shut of
discussion of the question in commit
tee for fear that free thinkers may give
offense to religious people.
The first effect of an attempt to mix
religion and politics is the stirring up
of an animosity. and the first move is
proposition to shut off free discus
sion, Both involve incalculable dam
gers to the welfare OF the American
people and the stability of American
institutions. The end of an attempted
innovation, of viii IN this is the begin
ming, can easily be forsceen. 1t is an
end to be avoided by all means.
The men and women who are trying
to have God put in the Constitution,
with good enough intentions, no doubt,
are committing as great a bluuder in
the cause of God as in the cause OF man.
They have studied history olittie ben
eft if they do not know that the great
est damage that can be wrought on the
cause of religion is TO mix it with Coy
eminent. and that the greatest evil
that can be inflicted upon a people is
to have a religious creed injected into
their civil government. Representa-
tive Morse has learned little from the
history of his own State if he does not
know that there can be no partner
ship of creed and the Government with
out Infinite injury to both and to the
people. The name of God has never
yet been connected with human GOV
eminent without being abused, to the
detriment of church and State.
Perhaps the greatest result for the
welfare of mankind achieved by the
men who founded this republic is the
absolute severation of church and state,
of religion and politics. The free
church and the free State have thriven
apart as they never could thrive to-
gether. Our experiment in this direc-
tion has educated the civilized world
and brought it out of bloody strife and
misery into peace and happiness. The
forging of the first link to bind the
two together is the undoing of all that
has been accomplished.
With God in the constitution the way
will be opened to all the wrongs that
have been done in his name against
mankind. Bigotry is a maggOt which,
when once let in, breeds all manner of
vileness-lies, prosecutions and MUIR
ders. As Roger Williams said to the
men of Massachusetts when he warned
them against issuing the civil power in
the interest of their religion; You
are on a path whore there is no halt
ing plOce."
We are now confronted by an at
tempt of bigotry to nullify the consti-
tutional prohibition with regard to re-
ligious tests as qualification for Office
and deny rights guaranteed by it to ali
citizens irrespective of religious faith.
What folly it would be to give it
handle in the organic law with which

MODEST REQUESTS.

New York had It's share Of the army
yesterday. The visitors came from New
Haven by boat, having mustered enough
none to pay their fares. They were not
allowed to parade the streets. but pro-
ceedej to the headquarters of the Peo-
pies party and sat down to a banquet OF
frankfurters and beer.
1t Is significant that these New Eng
landers, about sixty In number. %repudiate
any connection with Coxey. They go TO
Washington. they say. to petition Con-
gress on their W account. and mod
estly ask ior the establishment OF Gov
eminent farms and factories where the
unemployed may now and at all times be
supplied with work: for n constitutional
amendment affirming the right Of every
citizen to have work: for the abolition OF
interest on bonds; for the construction OF
good roads: for National control of rail-
roads, telegraphs and mines; for the cul-
t~ivation of all and not In use. and for
n~ationalizirg trusts.
The visitors and their friends meet at
Germania Hall tonight to discuss this
platform. 1t may be enlarged by re-
quiring Congress to supply every citizen
with good health and a wife who Is not
n suffragist. But It Is to be feared there
may be as much difficulty in getting Con-
-ress to act Upon Ii as there Is to make
the Senate vote on tariff reform.

GOOD SENSE.

Mr.. Gladstone's successor has been
making a speech at Manchester, and has
said some sensible things. Lord Rose
berry Is a typical E~nglishman and a
member of the House Of Lords. He
probably has as many insular prejudices
as usually distinguish Englishmen, but
he differs from a large number of his
countrymen In progressing with the
times and not remaining stationary
while the world moves.
Lord Rosebery declares that his con-
fdence in the success of Home Rule Is
the result of his conviction that in this
day Of advanced intelligence old preju-
dices and errors are bound to die out.
The English people. he believes. will
soon be willing to concede justice to
Ireland.
In like manner he believes that par
liamentary obstruction will cease, be-
cause the longer there Is congestion In
the Legislative body the more satisfied
the people will become of Its absurdity
and wrong. and the more resolved that
It must be remedied.
VIII our own Senators take these re-
marks of the English Premier at heart?

WITNESS TO BE DISCHARGED.
City Hearse Driver Gets In Trouble
by Testifying.

Part of the aftermath Of the Hampton
murder trial came to light to-day in the
General Sessions building. During the
trial of the colored man, Hampton. one
of the important witnesses for the people
was a young Irishman, Thomas O'Garrah.
O'Garrah was the driver Of the city
hearse, and had occupied the position for
several years. BY his testimony 1t was
shown that on the night of the murder,
Dec. 20, he went to a saloon on FIFTY
fourth street, near Ninth avenue, about IL
o'clock, and there met the murderer,
Hampton.
Col. Hare, however, wanted to know
why he was there that night. He ad-
mitted fnally that he had gone to Sixty
first street that night after a corpse,
and had left 1t in his old black wagon.
so well known in the pauper tenement
district, While he entered the saloon and
played pool and drank for over two
hours.
This brought the matter before the
Commissioners of Charities I MI CorIec-
ton, who decided to discharge OGarrah
after the trial. When this fact came
to the ears of Assistant District-At-
torney Osborn, who conducted the pros
e%cution, that gentleman characterized
their act as an outrage, ana says lac
70 to appear before the Commits
sioners and try and secure O'Garrah's
reinstatement. He has ,alkcl to the
| Judges, he says, and they all agree that
such a discharge would establish a bad
precedent.

WOMAN'S ARM IN HIS CELLAR.

Oluf Thomson. proprietor of a drug

a CHASTITY discovery to-day while search
ing for the source of n disagreeable odor
in his cellar. over the cellar door.
neatly wrapped in a newspaper, he
found a woman's arm. Mr.. Thomson i'm
.mediately notified the police. who OBJ
tanned a permit from the Coroners' office
for it's removal.
One of Mr.. Thomsen's tenants, a tailor,
first complained of the odor. How the
arm was placed there Is n mystery to
MIR, Thomson. He leases the entire
building. and has an entrance from Cen
tire street, which passes through to a
small area in the rear. The door OF this
entrance is generally open. There. is a
door from a room in the rear of the
store which also opens into the area.
This is always kept locked.
Mr., Thomson thinks the arm must
have been taken through the Pearl
street entrance and deposited where
