both of Wilmington, and as the vote
was very close and Bayley's margin
was small, it is evident that the
fiends of both candidates were hard
at work. As a result nearly 6, 900
votes were polled. although there
were no other general contests and
only few local fights. The rain
kept many of the voters indoors and
for the same reason, probably, some
of the polling places were neglected,
so far as workers were concerned.
Bayley received a majority of 1882.

the Representative nomination in

fight for sheriff. DR.. Thomas o.

RELIGION IN SCHOOLS.

The supreme court Of Illinois has
given a decision against the reading
Of the Bible. the singing OF hymns. and
the recital Of the Lords Prayer in the
public schools. The petition which was
signed by Catholics In Winchester
Scott county. was denied In the lower
court. but the supreme court re-
the law of the state as set forth in
the Constitution was on the side Of
the petitioners. Judge Dunn said. in
giving the opinion, that the constitu-
ton OF ILLINOIS guaranteed to all
citizens the free exercise and enjoy
ment OF religious profession and
worship, but that zone does not enjoy
the free exercise OF religious worship
who Is compelled to Join In any form
Of religious worship"
This may be true as TO the singing
OF hymns and the recital OF prayers,
hut the Bible can be read as liter
airy composition, and the reading and
close study OF II would benefit the
students for the simple reason that IL
Is one of the most remarkable literary
compositions I'm existence. The Ameri-
can student ought 20 be made familiar
IN a general way. with the history OF
the Bible. the criticism by which its
text has been purified. the principles
and fallacles Of higher criticism"
the contents Of the Bible. various
TRANSACTIONS. versions. targums. etc. etc.
all Of which would be OF educational
value and be no infringement upon tho
religious liberty OF anybody
The question OF religion In schools Is
one Of the problems the country will
the money Of the taxpayers cannot
consistently be spent In religious in
stiuction to which some taxpayers
object as heretica But it is equally
obvious that the neglect Of religious
instruction in the schools is a serious
defect I'm the education of the child
Many religious denominations there
fore are trying TO remedy this by pri-
vate schools But these cannot always
compete with the state schools in ef-
ncienoy. II mikht be practical to divide
part OF the taxes between denominal
schools. to be applied to religious in
struction. II the aversion OF tax-pay-
ers TO the appropriation OF public
funds for church schools could be
overcome. Children are entitled to the
best education the state can AFFORD
and also to the religious training that
is now kept out OF the common
schools

TROUBLES OF ROME.

Advtces from Rome are 20 the effect
that relations between the Vatican and
Spain are growing more strained. Fears
are entertained that Spain and Portu-

under the name Of the United states
Of iberia Complaint is also made that
King Alfonso is seeking 10 approach
England and France and that he Is
permitting the heretics TO worship
without molestation. They say that
the Anglicans have swamped Madrid
and the court since the Battenherg
princess became queen OF Spain. In
deed since the marriage Of the king 25
Anglican chapels and 50 Protestant
schools have been allowed to open, and

all composed of Anglicans and with

tain fever and had fallen to the rear
of the advancing line, among these.
President Young was brought almost
to the point OF death as recorded by
Erastus Snow.
In his journal of July 20. ne makes
the following entry; This morning
some of the sick felt unable 70 ride

place OF our destination and the broad
bosom OF the Salt Lake spreading itself
before us. We descended a gradual
slope some four miles towards the CEN

small creeks flowing from the mount

DUE TO THE WIRELESS.

The report that DR.. Crippen, for
whom the British police is searching, Is
on board the steamer Montrose headed
for Quebec. reminds one Of the wonder
ful possibilities OF wireless telegIaphy.
Whether the man suspected Is the man
wanted. OF not, the story IS one OF those
that are stranger than fiction.
Crlrpen eluded the vigilance Of the
police for a long time. Then he took
passage for the New World. Two hours
after the ship left Antwerp the Captain
suspected that ne had the fugitive on
board. and as soon as his suspicious
were confirmed he flashed a message
upon the afr. This message was caught
by another steamer and relayed to
Europe. The police quickly dispatched
officers who passed the ship on which
the suspected man Is a passenger, and
will meet him on this shore. 10 Identify
and arrest him.
The entire world il following that
ship from day TO day. with keen inter

the case, as the cable flashes the re-

what is going on He knows not that
he Is suspected; that officers have fol-
lowed and passed him on the ocean;
that the press Of two hemispheres are
discussing his whereabouts and dis
guise. taking note even Of the cut OF
