pears that Oliver tRasnick, taxpayer
of the school district, brought an action
against the school officers and teacher
to restrain them from having religious
instruction giveh t6 the scholars in the
school building either before or after
the hours for secular instruction. After
discussing theiofssues involved in the
case at considerable length the judges
have granted the Injunction sought for,
so that hereafter no prayers or religious
exercises of any kind will be allowed in
the school.
The lady teacher was a German Cath
Ollie, and was in the habit of opening
school with a recital of the Lords
Prayer and the Hail Mary; at noon the
Angelus was recited; and In the evening

was taught. The school officers had

treaty came up for final disposal and
failed of ratification by a vote of IL to

as we'll have been born in Timbuctoo.
We have no recollection of his ever

Joseph r. Dunlop, the publisher Of
the Chicago Dispatch, has been sent to
Joliet prison for two years on the
charge of sending obscene literature
through the U. S. mails. The obscene
literature was contained in the columns
of his own paper, which was the med
ium for advertising the worst dens Of
infamy and vice in Chicago. We notice
that our esteemed neighbor, the Even
ing Press, bestews much sympathy on
Dunlop because his filthy sheet advoeat-
ed the cause of "free silver" last fall.
The despicable fellow deserves no SYM
pathy from decent people, and he richly
deserves the punishment inflicted upon
him. Our esteemed neighbor is mis-
taken when it asserts that other Chi
cago papers publish advertisements as
Objectionable as did the Dispatch. Any
one familiar with the papers of the
Windy City knows better than that. The
only daily paper that approaches the
Dispatch in the character of it's per
sonals" and lads" is the Cincinnat3
Enquirer, owned by Mr.. Mclean, and he
ought to be punished in the same man
ner as Dunlop, notwithstanding the fact
that his paper is also an advocate of
'.free silver" The cause of "free sill.
yer" does not depend upon the advocacy
of such papers. They do not help the
good cause they espouse and it is time
for decent papers to condemn them for
spreading immortality throughout the
land.

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR ]. BULL.

The interview recently held with the
Austrian ambassador at Berlin by a
correspondent of the Associated Press
is anything but soothing to the feelings
of Joe Chamberlain and the other men,
bers of the British ministry who favor
a war on President Kruger, of the Afri-
can Dutch republic, for his obstinacy in
yielding to British dictation.
1t is we'll known that the British gov
eminent has for some time been active
ly preparing for war in the Transvaal,
and that the Beers are getting ready
for the contest. According to the Aus
trian ambassador England will not be
permitted by Germany, Austria and
Russia to pounce upon the brave Beers
with the view of destroying their ia
dependence and making British sub,
jects of them against their will.
He uses the following strong language
and if England does not heed it, SID
will have her hands full: "The facts
brought to the notice of the continental
powers are such as to show that peace
is threatened in South Africa, and the
emperor of Germany has taken the lead
in suggesting joint steps to neutralize
the danger of hosti1ities. His plans are
heartily Endorsed by Austria and Rus
STA, with the conditional approval of
France. Great Britain will not be per-
mitted to annex the TraRsvaal or to
destroy its independence. The remon-
strances of the continental powers will
soon be presented to Great Britain, and
no doubt they will have the desired
effect. It is of political as we'll as COM
mercia1 importance to Europe that the
present political conditions in South
