LIE sRITIsA EDUCATION ISSUE


II is not generally understood in our
country that the people of Great Brit
ain are struggling with a great issue
over public education.
Hundreds OF Bnglishmen are sum.
moned into courts, many are being
fined for nonpayment OF an unjust
educational tax, and scores and suf.
ferlng imprisonment from principle.
And what is all the commotlon
about, that is stirring England to the
throes Of a civilized revolution?
THERE Is, TO BEGIN WITH,
SUCH A THING AS A HIGH CHURCH
PARTY IN ENGLAND. Never forget
that.
II Is that identical thing known In
history, and that has always been
menace to civilization, popular gov.
ernment and Chrlstianlty-a social
bastard known as church-and.state.
When England was in the midst Of
the struggle with South Africa. the
Conservative party In power ordered
an election, and was returned without
opposition, Il was a High Church
victory
The High Church party saw It's op-
portunlty, and passed an educational
bill, under which taxes are levied for
Church Of England schools. to make
High Church propaganda.
As soon MS the foyer and enthusiasm
OF war cooled on the people were up
against an additional school tax. This ,
the stubborn Englshmen never takes
20 very kindly. What was worse. II
was a tax for church schools.
SO the nonconformlst churches are
resisting the church.school rates. An

unfortunate monarch sleeps with re.

that he always goes armed that he sus-

and that he puts no trust IN the guards

show hls disgust at the murder OF Alex

impossible, and as a consequence he has
been socially ostracized. Anarchy is

THE POWER OF TRUTH.

II has been stated that the expert
ments made with radIum point TO the
possibility Of the transmutatiOn OF
metals. The contemplation Of this Is
not reassuring to those who can see
wealth In nothing but money. II a time
should come when man knows how
TO make gold OF lead or copper the
wealth that consists IN gold would be
swept away. The London Spectator
directs the public attention to this fact
IT." says that paper, 1T became
possible simply and expeditiously to
transmute lead and iron into gold or
silver, the basis Of our civilization
would disappear. Wealth In kind would
become the only form Of riches. The
stores Of bullion at the banks would
become simply heaps Of scrap-Iron.
The great financial centers OF the
world, which owe their importance to
their gold reserves, would lose the ba-
sis OF their pre-eminence. Banking
would come TO an end; reserves OF
capital would cease to have any prac-
teal meaning all forms OF investment
would cease; the gold-produclng coun-
tries, like the Transvaal and West
Australia. would be bankrupted; and
the elaborate system OF commerce
which mankind has built up during a
thousand years would crumble about
our ears. for there would be no stand
ard, no little rod. by which to measure
prices" so that Is another OF the Won
ders Of radum. 1t will direct scientific
thought into entirely new channels,
and remove the basis Of our civlllza-
ton" causing II to crumble as the
temple OF Dagon when Samson over
turned the pillars 1t will cause the
rearing Of q new civilization upon the
ruins OF the old. How little It takes to
upset world! The discovery OF ont
single truth Is sometimes enough to
inaugurate an era, at the threshold OF
which the old things are passing away
and everything becomes new.

ANOTHER NINE HORROR.

To the long list Of calamIties the
past few weeks IS now added the mine
horror described IN the dispatches from
Plttsburg, Nearly 200 persons arc sup
posed 10 have been sent into eternity

children, are mourning the dead, II Is
another OF those pltiful occurrences
which sink entire communities IN
gloom.
Iii the case OF the Chicago theater
horror, the inquiry has resulted in an
endeavor to fasten the responsibility
upon a number Of men who, II Is as
serted, neglected their duty. That IS
terrible indictment, But on whom
can the responsibility for the so often
recurring mine disasters be fastened?
Very often they occur after all pre-
cautions have been taken and every
one supposes there is no cause for fear
Sometimes the cause Is never clearly
ascertalned because there Is no suryly-
or to tell the dreadful secret. All is
buried In the bosom OF the earth.
The truth is that the pursuit Of
wealth is n steady battle in which lives
are daily rlsked. and lost In the
manufacture OF the thousand and one
articles that are thought TO be needed
for mans happiness lives are sacrificed
continually. The same Is true In the
business Of transporting the goods from
one place TO another. Complicated,
heavy, effective machinery means dam
ger, for no human work can be perfect,
The very imperfection IN making and
handling means danger, II Is not differ
ent In the pursuit OF the wealth that
is hidden In the bowels OF the earth,
Were 1t possible to reach perfection in
human work, there would be shafts
and tunnels IN which every possible
danger OF explosion and cave-in, and
fire, were no more present, but as long
as human work Is imperfect, danger
cannot be entirely removed. by human
aid alone. The imperfection Of every
thing human is plainly IN evidence In
the many accidents and horrors OF the
present time,
