THE GIIET OF GOD.

.'If Republican policies prevail we are
going to have different idea Of govern
ment from that taught in our schools
heretofore. To-day Republicans tell us
that we are going to be good to the Fill
pinos. and that we are going TO give them
such a measure of liberty as they are
able to enjoy; that we are going to mea-
sure their capacity and fill their little cups
full of liberty for them. We insist that
liberty is not the gift of human govern
ment. but Is the gift OF God Himself wild

Republicans tell us thnt they are going to

OUR METHOD OF FITTING

clergymen who took part in the pro-
ceedings were Catholics: that sneer
goes n good ways towards unmasking
the inspiration OF the Beacon's attack.
Time was when other clergy would
have been conspicuous for their pres
encc, rather than their absence, at
meeting processing to sympathizc with
a people Of their own faith in strug.
gle for the right to govern themselves.
The mere fact that Catholic clergymen
would say an eloquent word on behalf
of n handful of Dopper Lutherans con-
tending for their liberties, is volume
of itself, and stamps them as Catholic
in the highest and broadcast sense Of
the word.
1t was announced in the public
prints n few days ago that the Rev
Mr.. Hissey was about to abandon his
clerical functions for the time being,
and engage in the work of Mark Han
mas literary bureau, preparatory to
next years campaign. Monday he was
in this city consulting with the faith
full. Is it possible that this militant
minister brought from Hanna's ar
mory the ammunition for the Bea.
con-Journars attack? 1t looks like it.
The Democrat congratulatcs its
nelghbor on its acquisition, and shall
look In its columns hereafter FOR prop

Before we leave the subject, we
want TO ask the Beacon. Journal one
short question, to which we should like
II still shorter answer: Are you for the
Beers, or are you against thcmI
We shall not get it.
However. the latest reports from
South Africa make II tolerably clear
that the Beers will manage to worry
along FOR awhile, even IL they and their
sympathizers are frowncd upon by our
neighbor on the corner.

Honorable Board of Education:
Yesterday l took the liberty of vis-
iting the Perkins building for the pur-
pose Of inspecting the basement room
now occupied as the kindergarten
department of that building. found
it dark, dismal, and in every respect
untitled for the purposes for which it
Is now used. There is an odor of
mould pervading it, which l presume
cannot be remedied. as the ventilation
is as good as can be procured for
such a place. The floor Is raised about
six inches above the cement on the
cellar bottom. and the joists have been
SO arranged ibat there can be no ven.
tilation under the wooden floor.
The light is so imperfect that fig
ures upon the black board can not be
seen plainly more than half way
across the room.
The ceilings are low. and am frank
to say that the place is not health
full one in any sense. believe that
it is wrong to occupy It for the pur-
pose OF a school room.

member Of the Board. made an in
spection of this same room, and re.

now desire to enter my protest
against this or any other basement
being used as Il school room, for 1
know it cannot be done without jeo-
par,lizing the health of the little ones,
and especially does it endanger their

Superintendent Thomas reported
that about 20 pupils failed to pass the
entrance examinations to the High
school and he believed 1t good policy
to allow them Il teacher in the High
school building rather than scattering
them among the ward schools.
The superintendent stated that the
penmanship in the High school was
at n low standard and advised that
writing books be furnished with a
view OF devoting more time to that
branch of the work.

be furnished free. He said: "As long

AGAINST SECRET DIVORCE
Chancellor Magic Declares
That Such Cases Should
Be as Public as Possible.

Chancellor Magic sat in the Court of
Chancery in this city this morning and
Listened to several unimportant matters
While considering them he delivered him.
self of some opinions which are of interest
to the legal profession and the public at
large. A lawyer from Paterson asked to
havea divorce case assigned to an advis-
ory master. The Chancellor said he
would not do that, as it was against the
practice and that there was no appropria-
ton to pay advisory masters. In fact it is
some time since any matter has been re-
ferred to an advisory master. The lawyer
feeling it incumbent upon him to say
something under the circumstances, re-
marked that his reason for asking for the
reference was that as the characters of
several people would be attacked he de-
sired to have the case heard as secretly
as possible.
THAT is the last thing this court will
do" said the Chancellor, ''to try to keep
such cases secret. The more publicity
they are given the better
In another case in which lawyer asked
for counsel fee the Chancellor denied
the application, saying that the matter
of counsel fees had been pushed to the
limit in this State and they should be cur
tained.
