THE COMMON SCHOOLS,
Rev. A. ID. MnyO's Lecture Upon Them
and the Catholic ParOchial Schools.


Rev. A. ID. Mayo of Boston gave a tax
last evening at All Souls Church. corner
of 14th and l. streets. on the subject OF
THE Roman Catholic Hierarchy ana the
American Common Schools" The church
was we'll filled. The lecturer explained
that within a few months the legislatures
Of New York. New Jersey and Maryland
would be called upon to decide a question
that is to be pressed forward by the high
officials of the Catholic Church in this
country at the direct order of the pope
This question Is whether or not the money
now paid for the support of the public
school system shall be divided and part OF
Ii given to the schools supported by the
church. lie dwelt at length upon the
excellence of the public school systems OF
this country. their high character and the
good work that they do in not only edu-
eating the children, but in making good
citizens.
The plan of the hierarchy. he said, was
the most ridiculous and revolutionary prop
osftion ever made in the history of the
nation. 1t is. practically. to change at
once from a purely American system, that
has been proved well nigh perfect to the
European system, that is acknowledged
to be very faulty. For fifty years the paro-
most tremendous pressure from the church,
and yet only small proportion of the
children of Catholic parents are being
trained in them.
1t is argued. said Mr.. Mayo, that the
family is the only proper element in the
training OF the young, and that the inter
ference OF the state is the rankest OF
tyranny. Yet, he added, should this plan
be carried out, there would be established
within the nation nothing short of q rival
government In matters pertaining to edu-
cation. 1t would be a new rebellion. To
adopt this theory of the hierarchy. said
he, the republic must back down at least
5000 years. The American state is "A
great moral and Christian agent, and is
fully competent to train the young. The
arrangements for the moral training OF
children at the public schools are on a far
higher plane than those OF the average
family. The child enters at once upon a
sphere that is elevated and elevating.
The moment the money for the support
of the schools is divided and part OF 1t
given to the Catholic parish schools, there
is started a project that will develop Sec
tarianism, and widen the already too wide
breach between the various denominations
There would soon be- in the language OF
the speaker. a "sectarian pandemonium."
MIR. Mayo said that the plan to have the
clergy give their attention personally to
the matter Of religious training in the
schools is sheer folly. There would be es-
tablished, in the place of the serene and
bels of belief that would clog the wheels
OF the machine that is daily grinding the
mill and makes a slow but an exceedingly
fine grist.
The plan Of the hierarchy, he said In
conclusion, can only succeed by the crea
ton of such a change in American ideas
that would open the door for other changes
pared TO go. He was frequently interrupt
ed by applause.

An Appeal for Women.

To the Editor of The Evening Stur:
The sad case of Miss Hurley related In
Saturdays Star who was compelled to
give up her seventeen-months-old baby to
the board of children's guardians is but
a type OF many women and girls who have
come under the care and protection of our
merciful Hope and Help Mission
While there is no law in this District to
reach the father of the child, the poor yiri
VINO has been seduced because she has
loved and confided in some base and un-
principled man, has been driven by de-
manding public sentiment. from her home
and loved ones to save them from the dis
grace, while her equal partner in a dual
sin is as warmly welcomed to society as
ever before. There is no law in this Dis
trict, as the judge stated yesterday. to
protect either mother or child, and a girl
may consent to her own ruin-her accom-
piice having no fear of legal arrest or re-
straint-if she be only sixteen years or
age. A pitiful case has -acentIy left the
Hope and Help Mission, the poor girl go
ing to the hospital to become a mother
who cried almost constantly on account of
the disgrace and sin. Both had been COM
municants in a Christian church. Where
is now the equally guilty father of the
child? He should be sought out by some
beneficent law, condemned TO confinement
and hard labor, thereby protecting society
from such outrages which are perpetratec
upon womanhood. and helpless childhood
as well. The press, which is SO all power
full, should and would, L believe aid in
securing such a law. They are not the
utterly abandoned nor vilest women who
bear these iiiegitimate children and While
society, or circumstances, compel her to
abandon her child before she can honestly
earn her bread, the Master has said: Let
him that is without sin cast the first stone -

A Charge of Railroad Brutality.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
WOODSIDE, Md, Dec o. 1898.
AS L stepped down to the platform at
Noodside from the l2:i1 train from the city
last saturday L saw a man hurled appar-
entity from the rear of our car He landed
on the ground beyond the platform in a
crawling position with much force and be-
fore he could scramble to his feet two rail-
road men were kicking him fiercely. They
leIt him after most DrutaIly kicking him in
the SIDES and back. Then, as IL realizing
that there was tiille tor SIill more, one Oh
them ran back anu delivered three or Iour
terrible blows rignt in the race and ON the
temple or the groveling man as he was try
ing TO get To mis- feet. Tne loot wnch de-
UVered those blows was no light one, and
as L came to Within a few yards OF the
men and saw the foot leave the Temple
followed by gush of blood, unconsclously
CALCULATED: Don't! Don't strike that
man again; he is down. At the same time
man 5 voice behind me called out: Let
up there now! You've done enough OF
that! and l recognized my neighbor, -
manly man, who would not be SO easily
affected perhaps, as l, a woman. AS the
trainman stepped aboard his moving train
he said to US on the platform: oh, you
fellows needn't say anything; you don't
know; we got to lighting them back here,'
Very true. But the coolness and the un-
ruffied manner Of man who had Just kick

prutai way seems TO me TO pring out the
brutality even the more. 1 should so like
him to have had even the poor excuse of
hotheadedness. A hasty retreat was my
first impulse after the train moved. The
elected man may have been drunk, as was
charged. Whatever his crime, nothing
justifes what followed after he was thrust
from the train If he was drunk surely
the company should not have allowed him
to enter the car in the first place. to be put
off at a rural station in the midst of women
and children, and certainly such brutal
violence would not have been necessary to
prevent a return to the car had there been
any attempt made to do so, which did mot
appear to be the case. A. T. NJ.

The administration was falling short of

tary rights in seeking to interfere with an
unquestionable right of sovereignty, the

The only hope of placing Mr.. Dole, our

his associates in position where amnesty
would be of any value to them was by ex-

insistent on respecting the independence of
Hawaii, issued commands to q government

Where would exist the independence of Ha-

The clear implication in the report of the
Secretary of State that the President meant
to restore the monarchy and the knowledge
that the Hawaiian government would yield
to the d!ctation Of the President only after

The ex-queen was evidently distrustful of
the influence of powers of the President
and asked what assurances she would have
for faithful carrying out of the scheme
on the part of the administration.

The secret Instructions.

These secret and confidential instructions
were made known to Congress only after
a resolution calling upon the executive for
the same had been unanimously adopted
by the House. The official report of the
18th of October until a week after the No
vember election and then made public
aroused almost universal expression
of public disapproval and resentment
among the American people. The
faIseness of the situation thus created
by giving secret instructions to a minister
of the United States to intrigue and nego-
tiate for the overturn of a government to
does not seem to have struck the admins
tration. 1t did strike the people of the
United States, however. Public opinion
has spoken and would speak still louder and
IL success was to be gained it must be
gained quickly. Therefore, on November
II. ten days before the assembling of Con-
gress, the Secretary of State telegraphed
MIR. Willis to put an end to delays
You will insist upon amnesty and rec
ognition of obligations of the provisional
government as essential conditions of res
toration. All interests will be promoted by
prompt action
How the interests of the existing friendly
government of Hawaii were to be promoted
by prompt action" in restoring the mon
archy is not self-evident.
What right the President supposed he
had to impose terms upon an Independent
government, which he was about to rein
state on the very ground that 1t was to re-
main an independent government, and
still assume to issue commands that ''uni-
yersal amnesty" should be made a condi-

SUBSTITUTE PROPOSED.

The following Is the report Of the minority
of the House committee on foreign affairs
on the McCreary resolution, which was re-
ported as a substitute for the resolutions
providing for an investigation Of Hawaiian
affairs:
1t Is unwritten but universally accepted
law that no administration of any repre-
sentative government ever condemns the
international policy Of preceding admins
tration, for in so doing 1t would attack its
own government.
Our attention cannot be diverted from the
question which most profoundly affects our
system of government by attacks, Congress
sional or administrative, upon acts of the
minister of thetnited States in January 1893
While we think it clear that Minister Ste
vens' conduct was not only justifiabe and
necessary. but praiseworthy and patriotic
this is not the time to discuss the subject.
y resolution that the House should inves-
tigate the occurrence in Hawaii in January,
1923. so as to hear both sides of the ques-
ton before a committee in which both polit-
ical parties might be represented offered
by a member of the minority lies uncon sid
cred. 1t has been left for a majority of
the committee. in their zeal, to attack the
| former administration, rather than to de-
fend the present one, to PREJUDICE without
hearing, to viilify without examination, to

condemn without investigating.
The people of the United States are widely
| divided in their opinions upon the occur
renee in Hawaii which resulted in the es-
adjustment OF the present government. We
are confident, however, even upon the ex
parte results of Mr.. Blount's activity and
zeal, that vast majority of the intelligent
thought of this country condemns his meth
| DDS and discredits his conclusions. To
charge minister plenipotentiary of the
United States with fraud, falsehood and
willful violation of the law on the strength

dation alone is all that the majority of the
committee can find in this great subject
worthy of their attention.
