ON RELIGIOUS TOPICS.

II would SEEM therefore, that Christ
tlans, the world over, could not devote
their energies to a better cause than
that Of church unity, There evidently
Is a need for unlhcatlon and resist
ance to this alarming segregation Of ev-
cry little band Of Christians from It's
parent stoC The questions that d.
vide them are those Of such fine dis
tlnctions that It Is really quite sense
less that there should be 'any division.
But certainly there should not be ono
hundredth part as many sects as there
are now. And, II church unity should
prevail, the Christian ministry would
undoubtedly be restored 70 It's former
dignity and influence. The world Is
not becoming irrellgious. II Is merely
distracted and bewildered.

JUST WHERE WE STAND,

Tho position taken by the DesereI
News on tho subject Of holding religion
classes IN tho public schoolhousos, may
be stated IN a few words and these are
necessary simply because Of endoavorS
20 misrepresent so
This paper Is opposed to the introduce
ton In any shape, form or contrlyance.
Of religious or sectarIan teaching IN
the public schools. The Constitution
and laws OF the State forbid II. and
the 'Nows' has always supported tho
prohibition and ala 40 before Il was
embodied IN State statutes,
Some OF those laws have been cited
as conclusive against the use Of school
houses for religion classes, after the
close OF the schools and Tor those chill
dren only who choose to attend.
We simply deny that those citations
or either Of them mako any mention OF
or allualon to the use OF lchoohouses
Tor the purpose named, but only forbid
the intrusion OF religious matters into
the public schools Anyone who reads
and can understand plain language can
see this readily
The wide difference between teach
ing sectarlan or inAdel tenets In the
schools and the use Of schoolhouse for
religion class by permission OF the
trustees, who have the lawful custody
and control OF the property and under
such restrictions as are provided by
law, must be perceived by any ordinary
thinker
Observe, this does not touch the
question OF the wisdom, propriety
policy or necessity Of the use OF school
houses for the purpose mentioned. Wo
have clearly shown, repeatedly, that
this Is another matter 20 be Viewed
and n necessary discussed on lie own
merits. We merely deny that tho laws
cited have any bearing upon IT,
As to the garbllngs, misquotations
and blank falsehoods Of paper that
occupies lts editorial space chiefly with
distortions OF the utterances Of the
Dessret News we care next to moth
Ing. But We 40 not want our friends
or even our sincere opponents to be
under any mistake 40 to our standing
on this dispute,
The "News" has never favored IN any
way the mlngllng Of religious and Sec
ular teaching IN the public schools but
is and has been positively opposed 20 It.
As 10 the other question wo take the
ground that the laws cited In support
OF the theory that sCHOoLHOUsEs
out Of school hours, may not be used
for the purpose objected 10, do not
touch the point advanced but relate
solely and entirely to that which may
not DO done IN the PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Now, we repeat the arguments pro
and con az TO the policy Of using
schoolhouses for any purpose objected
to by taxpayers OF tho district. should
stand or fall on their own merits. but
are not strengthened by citations OF
law that have no bearing upon the SUBJ
ject The matter 10 IN the hands Of the
respective trustees, and they are no
doubt ameuable FOR their acts 10 the
people who elected them. They should
act legally and wisely and an con-
ceued should use reason and endsav-
or TO promote good feeling IN the com
munity Nothing should be done to TO-
ment dlscord or IN any way violate the

THE RECENT LYNCHING.

Berkeley near Norfolk, where George
Brent, colored, was lynched early yes
terday morning, is now quiet and no
further trouble is expected. The town
last night was guarded by provisional
company of so men from Norfolk.
Colonel Higgins, of the Seventy-frst
Regiment, says he can throw enough men
into Berkeley within an hour to cope with
any situation that may develop.
1t is now stated that the affair at
Berkeley was participated in by four mask
ed men only, the actual killing being by
but one OF these. Shortly after noon
yesterday w. w. Robertson, a lumber
dealer and leading resident of Berkeley,
in front of whose house the killing oc-
Cured, called upon Mayor Allan and
made a statement to that official.
Robertson was a witness to the trag-
edy. He saw it from his bedroom win
dow. He was awakened a few minutes
before 3 o'clock by screams from some
one on the outside. Going to his bed
room window, he saw five forms in the
middle of the street Four of the men
we're pounding upon the fifth man, who
was down. Robertson, up to this time,
had no idea that murder was being done.
He thought an arrest had been at
tempted.
Then the cries of the man who was
down became so intense that three of
the men, presumably taking fright, fled.
This left the fourth man leaning over
the PROSTATE form, with the latter face
down on the Nstreet-car track. The
fourth man, who, it then could be seen,
was masked, suddenly stopped and,
drawing a pistol from his hip pocket,
put it to the back of the head of the
man who was down and fired. The
murderer then fed with the others.
Norfolk, Va, Oct 25.-In Berkeley,
the scene of the Bounl lynching, early
this morning a negro fired on the patrol
soldiers. The fire was returned aud the
negro fell to the ground. The soldiers
then rushed toward him, but he arose
and fed. He may have been hit but
his falling is thought to have been a
feint. The shooting aroused the town
and caused considerable excitement, but
quiet was soon restored. Another
negro, who refused to move when order
ed to do, was forced at the point of a
bayonet. These two incidents caused a
ripple in the otherwise quiet night. Adj
dtional evidence is being collected for
the coroner's jury which convenes again
on Friday.

MIR. RRYAN'S TOUR.

William Jennings Bryan last night
ended his tour of Ohio for the demo-
cratic national ticket with speech in
Hamilton. There were many persons
present at most of the 81 towns where
Mr.. Byrau spoke yesterday and he was
Enthusiastically welcomed.
The speechmaking in Ohio began at
Bridgeport, but Mr.. Bryan made a
speech at Wheeling, w. Va, before his
visit at Bridgeport 1t was 9 O'Clock
when Hamilton was reached, but thou
sands Of persons were present to greet
him. Occupants of a special train Of
coaches from Dayton were smong
rowd. There were excursions also
Eaton, Middletown, Oxford and
points. Mr.. Bryan reviewed his
hes of the day, embracing the nat
/ IouaI issues. After his address last
night Mr.. Bryan left over the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton Road for Toledo,
where he was due this morning at $50
o'clock. He will leave for Kendallyille,
Ind, on the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad, and spend two days
in Indiana.
In his speech at Wheeling, W. Va,
Mr. Bryan said that while the money
question was not the paramount issue
this time he had determined to carry on
the fight against Imperialism, as that
was what threatened the people of this
country at this time more than any
other one thing. He said that Judge
Parker stands for the constitution and
government most adaptable to this age.

for these increased expenditures said
Mr.. Bryan. Ia closing he referred to

he reached Ohio he found that Senator
Beveridge had turned the dinner pail
into a cofIeepot, and that there were
reasons to believe that the coffee-pOt

tests not in words merely, but by the
very character of its nominee for the
presidential office. 1t not only antago-
nizes republican policies it submits to
the judgment and conscience of the
American people that, whatever be the
policies, the republican candidate for the
presidency has demonstrated his unfit
ness to be the head and the official rep
resentative OF free, a law-abiding, and
Il peace-loving people. In its own NOM
inee it presents a candidate who is the
exact antithesis of the republican candi-
date; a man of modesty aud self-re-
etraint not a seeker of Office, but sought
for by it; a man by nature and training
and experience reverential of the Consti.

upon to recognize the people as the source
of all political power and himself not as

victions as a private citizen and public
expounder Of economic and political
truths in order to justify his acts as
national Executive and keep his place

will model himself upon Washington

Cause of LOckjaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentiiuliy
in street dirt. 1t is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock-
Jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an antiscptic
and causes such injuries to heal without
maturation and in third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. 1t is

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 25. 1904.

THE INCREASED registration in Greater
New York, near so, 1000, and large in
crease in all the cities above the Har-
lem. 10 the upper part of New York
Safe indicates that Parker's chances
are most excellent, and Herrick's cleo
tion for Governor beyond dispute. Yet,
Mr.. Charles F. Murphy intimated last
week that Gov. OdelPs Superintendent
of Registration Morgan had some sinister
motive in looking 50 closely into the
registration in New York city and pay
ing little or no attention to registration
in republican strongholds, where 1t has
been a matter of boast that two years
ago they voted the trees for Odell, and
this year they would vote the leaves for
Roosevelt. II is hoped that the people
of that State will not allow such votes
to be counted against them and thereby
elect a minority President. Two weeks
from today the contest takes place; the
candidates represent little in common;
the people must decide, and no one has
epitomizcd the issues better than Former
Secretary Olney when he said:
If the American people approve a
foreign policy compounded in about
equal parts of swagger and of NEEDLE
someness-a domestic policy which fat
tens syndicates of capitalists at the ex-
pense OF the masses of the people, makes
extravagant expenditure justify high
tariffs and high tariffs justify ex-
trayagant expenditure, and IN
practice makes the general gov
ernment but the tool OF accumulated
wealth-a colonial policy now defended
by cant about duty and benevolence and
the white mans burden, but which in
essence is nothing but the use of weak
people to crafty the ambition, the pride,
aud the cupidity of strong people,
these be the things the American people
favor, it is the republican party they
want in power and no other. If they
believe in the ascendency of a party
which is not national but sectional !;
which must prevail, if it does prevail,
bv the preponderance of one geographic
cal section over another whose
present leader and boss has raised
the race issue at the south in
the most offensive form F; which
is regarded by the whole southern region
as a menace to its tranquility and pros
perity, it is the republican party and no
other that should still retain control OF
the national government Finally, II
the American people want rulers who
conceive themselves to be the masters
and not the servants OF the people, the
republican party is just the party they
are in need of. Their presidential can
didate represents exactly that .concep-
ton, and today, so far as principles, OBJ
iects or methods are concerned, he is
all there is to the party Has he not
trampled down all opposition within the
party, dictated his own nomination,
written his own platform, and made
himself the sole manager of the republic
can campaign? Having done all this, he
seemingly considers himself at liberty
to assume an attitude toward the Amer
lean people generally which, tor AFRO
gance and auGacity, is unprecedented In
