EDUCATION AND RELIGION,

In recent interview. Cardinal Glib
bons said that the system of public edu-
cation In this country was imperfect and
vicious. and that 1t undermined the rell-
zion of our youth. "Thc religions and
secular education Of our children" ne
went on. cannot be divorced from each
other without infllcting fatal wound
upon the SOIL. The usual consequence
of such a separation is to paralyze the
moral faculty and to foment spirit
of indifference In matters of faith"
He quoted Guizot an eminent Protes-
tant writer Of France, as having SAID
that In order to make popular education
truly good and socially useful, 1t must
be fundamentally religious and he con-
Guided by saying that the remedy for
these defects in our educa tional system
would be supplied If the denomlnational
system. which now obtains In Canada,
we're applied In our public schools.
1t is generally agreed in this day that
education should be OF the heart as well
as of the head; that it should include
moral and religious training as we'll as
mental training. Undoubtedly oui puohS
school system is defective In the matter
OF moral and religious training, but how
such training Is to be supplied under
our form Of government is problem
which has not yet been solved. 1t Is
we'll enough to quote the saying OF
famous Frenchman. and it is we'll enough
to talk about the methods that are en-
ployed in Canada: but the situation IN
France and Canada and the situation In
the United States are quite different.
1t is part Of our organic law that the
church and State must be kept apart;
that the government shall not interfere IN
any way with religious liberty. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that when the govern
ment undertakes to educate the children.
It must either exclude religious instruc-
ton or abandon ono Of the cardinal prln-
ciples upon which 1t was founded. the
defect in our system Of popular education
which Cardinal Gibbons points out Is
plain to oil; but the remedy for 1t has
not yet been found. 1t is indeed Sc
rious question, and 1t but emphasizes the
Importance of home training for chill
dren, and It emphasizes the Importance
of the Sunday-school.

THE FARMERS INNING.

A few years back the farming class
complained that they were the poorest
class in the land: that they were dis
eliminated against; that merchants and
manufacturers were growing rich, while
they were growing poorer all the time
But the situation has greatly changed.
The farmers are now on top. This year
they have an abundant crop of grain
and cotton, and prices are abnormaly
high.
The United States Steel Corporation. the
largest manufacturing concern in the
land, reports that It's earnings are falling
off and 1t has been found necessary to
reduce the dividend on the common
stock. The prices of stocks and bonds
have gone down and down, until for
tunes have been wrecked.
People in the cities are complaining OF
the high cost of living, and most of them
have been compelled to reduce their ex-
penses and deny themselves many lux,,-
ries whicr they formerly enjoyed. In gem
eral terms, merchants and manufacturers
and those who are employed by such
concerns are being pinGhed. while the
farmers are enjoying season of won
drous prosperity.
Tho high cost Of living has not affect
ed the farmer, except 10 his advantage.
The slump in the stock market has Sc
rtously crippled many stockholders. But
while the price of stocks has gone down.
the price of farm products has steadily
advanced. This is peculiarly the day OF
the farmer, and instead of being at tho
bottom he Is now on top of the situa,
tons This ought to have The effect OF
enhancing the value OF lands and OF
driving many people out OF the cities into
the agricultural districts. If such an Of
feet is realized, 1t will be TO the benefit
OF the whole country.

NEGRO DIALECT.

Northern writer's have manufactured
dialect OF their own. which they palm

Gle. For instance, who ever heard a
negro say "brac" for black, or Dress"

ever substitutes am for Is.

they would be safe from cxtradition pro-

the treaty with Mexico does not authorize
tho United States to demand the return

there and he Is now seeking to have
that treaty amended.
There is treaty by which persons
convicted OF bribery may be extradted
