BIBLE IN IHE SCHOOLS.

According to the Mining Gazette.
Roman Catholics all over the state are
taking offense az Governor Osborn's
recent advocacy OF the use OF the Bible
In the public schools. This may or
may not be true But AT best IL is
only the personal opinion OF the gov
ernor and nothing is likely 10 come Of
IL.
But the Gazette is wrong in stating
that the supreme court OF Michigan
handed down a decision against the
use OF the Bible in the schools. In
fact the court really sanctioned the
use Of the Scriptures. With but one
dissenting vote. viz. that Of Judge
Moore, the court about twelve years
ago sustained the constitutionality OF
the Bible i'm the public schools Of tho
state. Judge Montgomery. who wrote
the sustaining opinion for the court,
after an exhaustive review OF the case,
and it's legal standing at it's close said:
In my opinion the reading OF the
extracts from the Bible I'm the man
ner indicated I'm the return, without
comment. is not I'm violation OF any
provision I am not able
to see why extracts from the Bible
should be prescribed when the youth
are taught no better authenticated
truths Of profane history"
The other judges concurred in the
decision. except Judge ]. Moore.

THAT TIPPING EVIL.

The announcement that travelling
men have declared war on the tipping
evil. and that the Commercial Travel
ers' National league has served notice
on the hotel keepers Of the country
that the practice will be done away
with promises well, both because the
travellers themselves have done much
TO develop tipping and because their
influence will be strong toward abol-
ishing a.
Tipping is un-American. Individ-
uals have endcavored TO made a stand
against il, but the individual has been
helpless. He soon found il necessary

Of every thing, or TO adjuIt himself 20
the new order and descend TO the
practice himself. Gradually and in
sidigusly the thing has extended itself.
There are still many places in the
country in which tipping Is not coun-
tcnanced. Occasionally the habitual
Upper finds himself met with a curt
refusal but the continental custom
has been INetty thoroughly trans
planted and has apparently taken firm
root on American soil.
But an organization, particularly
one OF travelling men, can effect much
in opposition 10 the practice The
hotel keeper Is largely dependent on
the travelling men and when he finds
the necessity Of tipping TO get good
service Is driving them away. he will
take steps TO abolish the evil himself,
which means that he will pay living

Decreasing Rate of Increase of Whites,
Exclusive of Immigrants.

Similar figures for the preceding de-
cade. 1S90-1900, show that at the cen
sus of 1900 there were about 100000
foreign white persons then reported as
having been in the United States less
than 10 years; excluding this number
the increase in the white population
from 1890 to 1900 would have been
about 9,13O,O instead of 11,70193S, or
slightly more than 16 per cent. The
percentage of increase for the white
population, excluding immigrants, was
thus less from 1900 TO 1910 than from
1890 to 1900, whereas, for the total
white population the rate was higher In
the later decade than in the earlier.
No similar tabulation regarding length
of residence in the United States was
made at the census of 1890, and so no
direct computations for the decade
1S80-1S9O can be made but rough es-
