rHE suNnAY scmoOL ATTACKED.


Must the Sunday school 90? That is
the question which some of the good peo-
pie OF Brooklyn. n. y, are asking them
selves. The Rev. DR.. Pelham Williams Of
Green bush. Mass, who calls himself the
"annihilaror Of Sunday schools" delivered
an address bsfore the Church Club Of the
Diocese Of Long Island on Monday night,
and practically paralyzed the large audi
ence present by his scathing denunciation
of the work done in Sunday schools. 9th
er speakers who were present were 50 as
founded by his address that they were
unable to read their speeches.
According to DR.. williams idea, a Sun
day school is an institution that exists in
order 10 enable some people to expert
ment with the souls of other peoples chill
dren9 He is an Episcopa'ian and he in
sists that some Of the bishops Of that
church approve of the views which he
holds in respect to Sunday schools 1t
would be interesting to know if there are
any views about the Bible or Sunday
schools or anything else which are not
approved by some of the bishops of that
church Dr. Briggs views of the Bible
have the approval Of some Of them. and
DR.. Williams says that some of them think
his Sunday school notions are right.
DR. Williams said that Sunday school
teachers were neither flesh, fowl or good
red herring. In his opinion, most of them
are TOO utterly ignorant TO be entrusted
with the responsible duty Of teaching chill
dren the Bible. He quoted an old lady as
saying: why should send my child to
Sunday school 10 be taught by Mrs. So
and-So, who is just as ignorant and stupid
as l ann"
Dr. Williams declared that one great
danger was in joining amusements of one
kind or another with religion The Sum
day school, he said, is usually sorry
appendage to either picnic or a festi-
val" In the course Of his address he
made quite number of points against
the Sunday school. He declared that it
was destructive of church-going, ana that
it did much toward destroying parental
authority and priestly obligation. He
charged that it was the teacher Of irrev-
erence, largely because of the unftness of
the Sunday school teachers for the posi-
tons they occupy.
But If it were not for the Sunday schools
who would gather up the poor children in
the tenement districts of the great cities
and give them the little knowledge they
ever get of the Bible? And what harm is
there in the kind of amusements in which
Sunday schools indulge? Children, as a
rule, are happier for picnic and festi-
val now and then. 1t may be true that
the great majority of Sunday school teach
ers are not well qualified to teach the
Bible and religion but. it is better that
the children should have what they get
from these teachers than to get nothing st
all The chances are that they would get
nothing if there were no Sunday schools.
Besides, Dr. Williams, if he does not
agree with DR.. Briggs, may not be, in
the estimation of many, any better quail
fed to teach the Bible than some of the
Sunday school teachers.

A Chicago scientist says that city is
doomed, since il is slowly but surely be-
ing engulfed by Lake Michigan, owing 10
the fitting of the earth's crust. The
water, according 90 the scientist, is rising,
at the rate of about nine-tenths of an inch
every ten years. AT that rate, about the
year 1899 Lake Michigan's waters will be
flowing uninterruptedly over the natural
watershed that separates the Mississippi
and the great lakes. Nevertheless, in the
face of this scientific declaration Chicago
real estate continues to sell at some hun
dreds Of dollars per front foot.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on the Presidents recent
order taking some 1900 federal offices from
under the protection of the civil service
reform system the New York Times
Dem) says: "IIe has concluded to vio-
late the pledge of his party and his own,
10 take the backward step to proclaim TO
the country that so far as he is concerned
the reform is not here TO stay, but may be
pared down until its final disappearance.
He has issued an order taking some 1000
places from under the rules declaring, in
effect, that these may be filled without
any public and adequate test OF fitness,
without competition among applicants, ar
bitrarily by the favor of the appointing
officer for such motives as he may choose
10 entertain" On the same subject the
Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says: There
has been, however, demand for a back
ward step in civil service reform policy.
II has come from demagogues like Repre-
sentative Grosvenor, who seek the repeal
or notification of the civil service law,
who scoff at the merit system. and who
clamor for Offices wherewith TO pay their
own political debts II is the jobbing poll
tcians who made impudent demands upon
the executive for the degradation of the
civil service"
The Macon (Ga) News Dem) says:
But should an American protectorate be
established in Liberia, and the Philip
pines be annexed, then it could be said
that the flag of American empire covered
the whole globe, for il would float in Asia
and Africa, in the Antics and the mid
Pacific. Are the American people pre-
pared for such an expansion of their do
minion? These new lands all are lacking
in the blessings of civilization. The peo-
pies are not of our blood They come to
us empty-handed. We are 70 be the Civ
ers exclusively. They are unfit for the
exercise of the suffrage. They are breed
ers Of trouble and new responsibilities.
Shall we take under our protecting wing
all countries, the inhabitants of which
have failed in their effort to esta blish
state merely upon their request? Surely
we are not ready TO engage in this bust
ness, and especially should we be reluct-
ant when the war with the Filipinos is by
no means over"
The Charleston Post Dem.) says: "If
the purpose of the American government
be to provoke the Cubans to insurrection,
that the island may be forcibly possessed
the policy under pursuit was wisely con-
ceived. If, however, che declarations of
the Senate are to be observed, and Cuban
independence is to be established, the
Americans are going about the pacihca-
ton in very bungling fashion"
The Rome (Ga) Tribune Dem) says
1--WE agree with the Morning News that
It win not do any good for the university
70 bring il into politics. The trouble in
Georgia now in many Of our institutions
is that there is TOO much politics. To

While there is nothing Of which to COM
plain in the sanitary condition Of the city,
there is ground for saying that there IS
more litter in the streets and lanes than
there ought TO be. 1t IS not Of a charae-
ter threatening health TO be sure, but it
is disreputable and careless-looking. There
are rocks. brickbats, stone cur5lngs, pieces
of lumber. scraps and wsds of paper va
rious relics of the underground work of
the telephone and electric light companies,
and other odds and ends scattered about
all through the business district. If these
things were. cleared away and the streets
and lanes put to rights the city would
present a much more inviting appearance.

ing booking firms said his firm would not
hesitate 10 invest some money here if it
could be demonstrated that Savannah
really desired another theater At the
same time, it would probably be better
from a playgoer's point of view, to have
the suggested new place run as an indie
pendent house, as the Old theater used to
b., so that 1t could select its attractions
and book none that were not meritorious.

MRS. MAYBRIOK's CASE.
Her Mother still Fighting For Hel
Daughters Freedom.


London, March 29-The statement
published in the United States that the
Baroness de Roques has abandoned her
efforts to obtain the release Of her
daughter, Mrs. Florence Maybrlck, now
undergoing sentence of imprisonment
for life after having been convicted OF
poisoning her husband, and that the
baroness is now endeavoring to have
her transferred to convent, as has
been done with two English women
prisoners, Is not correct. In response
to an inquiry on the subject the baron
ess wrote as follows:
II have not abandoned my efforts Tor
her release or pardon. ! wished, how
ever to draw attention to the manner
In which other prisoners are treated and
elevated When think that if any
one on earth deserves alleviation and

most anything which could be ever so
slight a change and alleviation In her

surely slipping.
II am told she has no fatal chronic
disease such as the rules require for her
release to die outside. I have, however
thought that if English women and
their sentences can be alleviated my
most unfortunate daughter might be
returned to her own country to pass the
balance of the period which the English
authorities consider the necessary pun
ishment for an improved attempt.

the water rents this year. The report
was accepted and adopted. As we also
predicted Charlie would not swallow
that dose, and he sent in his resignation
a. once. That job on the railroad and
other work here in the city will insure
him a living this year. The next order
of business was communication from
the Mayor nominating city officers. OF
course this meant secret attack II ,'on

1t was war. In about three seconds
the Mayor was called back in to nomin-
ate another candidate for superintendent
of streets. and that part of the program
was repeated several times, the alder
men killing the candidates as fast as
the mayor nominated, and at last John
went right in and stayed with them but
it was no use they would not agree up
on man. The names presented were
Sylvester Cameron, Eli Densmore, and
Martin Riley.
When the bids for janitorshp of the
city hall were opened it was found that
there were % bids submitted, some
coming from as far as Rutland. The
matter was not fully settled but the con-
tract will probably be given to G. &.
Carr for $49S. A list of nominations for
Railroad police submitted by the mayor
was accepted by the board.
After smoking and talking till about

till Friday night when the fight will be
resumed.

TRADES UNIONS.

Mrs. Martha Moore Avery gave an
other very interesting lecture in Miles
hall last evening before large audi
euce. The subject was Trades Union
Old and New" and it is safe to say that
her discourse found favor with those
who heard her.
She gave an outline Of the history
and growth of the Union of Labor and
commented at some length upon its
needs. In 1882 Carpenter spoke to the
working people saying that two classes
were developing in America. the rich
on the one hand and the poor on the
other. We are gradually getting to
where we shall not own the tools with
which we work as they will develope
into machinery. In 1913 all Europe
was convulscd when the working classes
began to revolt.
In 40 the gold fever sent the ener-
getic men of New England to the Paci-
tic slope. This caused the east to be
filed with men from the old country
fresh from the struggle of class and
thrilling with desire for cccno.
mic liberty and when they came here
they began to form trades unions. 1t
was perfectly natural that they should
not enter politics because citizenship
was new thing for them and it is per-
fectly natural to see how they would
be purely economic.
Abraham Lincoln saw greater men,
ace to the country than slavery and his
sentiment he voiced magnilicently al
AppomattoX. The slave question was
moreover al economic one yet you may
not think so. 1t was the struggle OF
class, the rich against the poor.
She dwelt at some length in regard
to politics in the trades union. AT
present politics enter the ranks but in
the most vicious form. The Union
should be united for their common in
terest, not for that of their opponent,
the capitalist. The difference between
the old and the new trades union is that
the new introduced the working class
politics and teaches the wage earners
to vote together, and fight their points
to the bitter end shoulder to shoulde1
