SECOND EDITION

TWO KDMOJSlt

Of this Papar are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Even iug, bos a large circulation among farm

era

and others living outaide of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hand* of nearly every reading person in the city.

Every Week's Is#ie la, in fact, TWO NEWSPAPERS, In which all Advertisements appear for

ONE rHARGE.

THE BIBLE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The Bible is in tho public schools, has always been there, and if those who desire to keep it there are judicious, there is very little doubt that it will stay there for a long time to como. Reckoning ourselves among the number who decidedly desire the use of the Bible to tie continued in the schools, we regret tho controversy which has arisen, because, so far as this State is concerned, it seems to us premature. When we are in the peaceful possession of a good thing, it is not wise to make too much ado about our purpose to keep it at all hazards, or to push the controversy in reference to our right to keep it. The wiser course seems to be to hold and enjoy the good thing, and not get up a flght about it Ull somebody seriously threatens to take it away. In sortie localities there has been such a purpose manifested, and the controversy has become a necessity. But in our own State no such necessity has arisen. So far as we know neither Catholics, Jews, Infidels, or any other considerable class have demanded or even urged a change in the present order of things. It is true that one of the daily papers has published an article from some New York paper advocating the removal of the Bible from the schools, and has once or twice thrown out hints that it was of the same opinion. But this would have died a natural death if it had been left alone. Opposition and controversy have given this article and these hints the greater part of their power.

So far as tho parties are-concerned in whose behalf, and in opposition to whom, this controversy is ostensibly carriod on, we do not believe that they are particularly interested. Tho Roman Catholics generally do not care a straw whether the Bible is read in the schools or not. It is not to the use of the Bible that they object generally, or chiefly, but, as tboy say, to "godless schools." They believo that all instruction, secular and roligious, should be under the direct supervision and control of the church. They are upon principle opposed to our whole public school system, because it is not under tho control of tho church. &any of their papers express suprome contempt for this question of tho Bible in the schools, and freely admit that its removal would inako them no bettor satislled. With their principles as they aro, they cannot approve of schools which either exclude religion altogether, or permit the reading of the Protostant version of the Biblo, or employ Protestant teachers. Most of them are honest and frank enough to admit this. Very few of them even make the pretonsothat the use of the Bible is thoir chief objection, though or course they do object to this.

So far as the Jows are concerned they make very little if any objection. They believe In the Old Testament, and do not seriously object to their children rending, or hearing read the New Testament without note or comment. They desire for their children the advantages of the schools, and as a rule are indifferent to the subject of this controversy, or were so until over gealous friends paraded their abuses, and over soalous opponents expressed thoir firm purpose that no change should take place.

Of the infidels, not one in ten, probably not one in fifty cares whether the Bible is r*nd by the children or not. In fact tunny of them are quite willing that their children should not only road and Judge for themselves, but they like tho morality of the Bible and desire to hare their children Instructed in it. There are very few intelligent skeptics In this city whose children are not in some of the Sunday schools. Now and then some one of them more zealous in his disbelief then the rest will object to the Bible as now used in the school, bat these are rare exceptions and could easily be met if a proper spirit of toleration prevailed.

So far as this State is concerned the Controversy is not carried on by either of the classes named above. It has been more for tho sake of argument than any thiug else. Or if it has not been .for the sake of argument, it has been, not by parties who felt themselves aggrieved, but by those who have championed the rights of parties whom they felt bad occasion to be aggrieved. This would alt be very well If the parties themselves were not Intelligent enough to know their rights, or were not able to defend them. When these parties feel that their rights tre lafringed and calmly protest, their complaints should be, and, we believe, will be candidly considered. Bat so long the Bible remains peacefully In the schools, where the law of the State pots it, it Is not wise for those who desire to keep it there to suffer themselves to be unduly agitated because

t*vw pj YFH. vyi/MYM YA«!H JTA« MTUAH- I li TP1'r.tr.kJRAOTis'SATURlXitY

somebody, or fsome paper, expresses an opinion adverse thereto. If those who bellere that It is desirable to keep the Bible In the schools will meet individual eases where objection is msde by parents, in a conciliatory spirit, permitting the children to be absent during the exercise if this is desired, and If these friends will not suffer themselves to be betrayed into bitter controversy, the Bible will remain in the schools of Indiana lor many years to come. More depends upon the judicious course of those favoring this, than upon any opposition yet developed.

We question no mans right to discuss any question he chooses, whether editor, minister, lawyer,

private citi

zen, neither would we in any degree censure those discussing questions which we think it were wiser to let alone, but we simply express our own opinions. We desire to keep the Bible in the schools. We believe that tho number objecting seriously to it is very small, and that a controversy, especially if considerably feeling is aroused and manifested, as is very likely to be tho case, will do moro to bring about a removal of the Bible than any thing else. Therefore we advise tho friends of Ihe present order of things not to be too eager for defray.

A DjssrERATE young man the other day committed suicide at Bridgeport, Connecticut, leaving a letter explaining his act, by saying that "nature had blundered in fitting the wrong head on tho wrong body." His case, poor fellow, is not exceptional that is if we lay the blame upon nature that often belongs to ourselves. There area great many wrong heads on wrong bodies, but nature is not in fault for that misfit. We misuse the body and that makes the head wrong. It is a very matter-of-fact view to take of the subject, yet it is true that the stomach has most intimate connection with the brain. We go on abusing the one until the other is overthrown and then we attempt to avoid responsibility by laying the blame on nature as

ful workman.

uAsklll-

THE Alton Telegraph calls attention to the consistency .ol the law of Illinois making women eligible to fill the office of Superintendent of Schools

Is it not rather a queer anomaly that our laws should declare ladies competent to fill and eligible to a certain office, but yet should decide that rtiey are

not

competent to assist in the elec

tion of one of their number to fill such an office Not even the lady candidate for the above office is allowed to vote for herself or any one else for the position, or, if eleoted, on any question affecting the interests of the schools she controls. This must be humiliating to the candidate, and can only be looked upon as travesty |of right and justice. If women are eligible to office they should be eligible to tho ballot.

OUR "Down East" exchanges say that "Barnum's Traveling World's Fair" is carrying all before it. The excitement through the country wherever it goes Is intense. Every "show day" is like a 4th of July celebration schools and factories are closed, farmers "lay down the shovel and the hoe," and business of most kinds takes a twenty-four hours' rest. Excursion trains carry show visitors twenty, thirty and frequently fifty miles, and freight cars are often pressed into the service for conveying passengcts. In Providence 88,000 persons visited the show in one day. It is estimated that for ten days in Boston, the average daily number of visitors was 26,000. The Jenny Lind enterprise, although tickets sold for three to ten dollars each, paleB before this colossal 50 cent 9how.

IT is refreshing to learn of a deed so generous as this, which we find recorded of the Tabernacle church, Jersey City. Their pastor was taken sick, and his physician said he could preach no more, and that his sickness would be lingering, with its end certain. The pastor resigned, and the church at once voted him $1,500 a year during his natural life. This was paid promptly every quarter day for eighteen nionths then the church gave their beloved teacher a fitting burial.

TtiKRB is nothing clearer than that the Illinois freight law is an experiment that will soon disgust its makers. Obliged to establish equal rates for distances, and driven from the fundamental business principle of making through freight cheaper than way— that is, selling cheaper at wholesale than at retail—their only recourse has beenageneial increase of tariff. The adoption of like laws by theother States on the route East would result in an absolute prohibitory tariff on Western grain.

TH* Brazilian Government hss decreed that no Papal bull shall hereafter be promulgated without itsappvoval, within ita dominions, and that Papal excommunications shall be without dvll effect in that Empire. This is a severe blow at priest-craft, and is another evidence of where the temporal power of the Pope is going to.

SfooinBi, Simmons and King, will, It is supposed, escape the death penalty through the new law requiring proof of deliberate Intent to kill for conviction of murder in the Unit degree.

TK Philadelphia Press notices with suspicious interest that aa often a* a murder oooors at any New York hotel, the business of that establishment seems to take a new start.

THB Erie railroad people have started 8unday trains for the purpoee of aooommodating people who desire to attend religions services at the different Tillages along the road.

EVENING MAIL. JULY 12.

WHAT THB LECTURERS WILL TALK ABOUT. Already arrangements fox the next lecture campaign are In a forward state, and it Is possible to give the names and themes of quite a number of the speakers:

Mr. Jenkins, of London, known as the author of '-Glnx's Baby." Is to visit the States and lecture on

,rTheEngland

of To-day" and "The English Satirists." John B. (Sough's new, lecture is entitled "Now and Then."

Mrs. Livermore will give her views on "Women's Husbands," which seems to be an important appendage, or perlisps a necessary evil to many even of the suffrage olass.

The Rev. W. H. H. Murray will tell what he knows about "The Perfect Horse," which is a good deal.

Ex-President Hill, of Harvard College, will descant on the "Straits of Magellan" and "Juan Fernandez."

Mrs. Lenowens has prepared now lecture on Siamese life. Dr. Hayes, the Arctic explorer, announces* Far Northern Life and Scenery," and "History and Progessof Maritime Discovery."

Thomas Fitch, of Nevada, will give the experiences of "A Sagebrusher in Vienna."

James Parton will tako a hand, purely as a lecturer, in "Our Scandalous Politics," which may, perhaps, introduce some allusion to the salary grab.

Dr. Dio Lewis has two iimortant themes, "Our Girls" and "Our Eyes." Dr. John Lord has a number of lectures on Representative Men.

Senator Sumner will lecture, If his health permits, and Wendell Phillips will also doubtless be heard from. Senator Boutwell Is also named as a looturer next season.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's themes are "Paris" and "Santo Domingo." Colonel T. Higginson's are "London" and "Thinking Animals."

Bishop Gilbert Haven will lecture on "Mexico," Prof. John Fiske on the "Darwinian Theory," and Kate Reignoldson "Charles Reade."

SPIRITUALISM.

TO MRS. JOHN SMITH OR ANY OTHER JIEDIUM DETECTIVE. Greeting: Again Mr. Editor, I ask that you grant me the favor of a small space in your valuable paper, in which to reply to the second article of Mrs. John Smith, which I find in your issuo of last Saturday, promising that I will be as brief as possible. Were I to follow her mode of argument, however, my article necessarily would become very lengthy, and at its close,sho might thfen with propriety and truth, exclaim •in the language of Shakespeare,wordst words, wordB, but I look in vain for arguments."

In support of her position, wo are refered to eighteen or twenty selections, consisting each of two to five lines, the largest number not exceeding two lines, to be found all along from Genesis to Revelations, the greater number however, are selected from the old Testament.

By this system of argument it is an acknowledged fact, that any position may find support by it the great Christian body has become divided and subdivided, tending to weaken their

fng

tower, influence and usefulness givstrength to the infidel, by shaking the faith of the superficial observer, who fails to read tho Biblo carefully and connectedly. As an example, read. Eccl. iii, 19, 20. "For that which befalleth the sons of men belalleth the beasts, even one thing befalleth them as the one dieth, so dieth the others yea, they have all one breath so that a man hath no pre-eminence above a beast, all go unto one place."

I would ask Mrs. Smith, in all candor, does not this quotation prove as clearly and emphatically the annihilation of every human being as does any selection she made that our spirit friends do not return And does she endorse non-immortality I hope not. With the following example lam done with this line of argument. Ex. xxx, 20, And he said thou canst not see my face for there shall no man see me and live. Contrast with Gen. xxxli, 30, For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

Mrs.

Smith's, mode of argument,

we rrave in the above proved a direct oontradictlon, and thus I might go on ad inftmtum, which could have no other result than to confuse and destroy confidence in the Bible, instead of wnich I hold that it would be better, much better that all be encouraged to read, yes, read it over again and again, read it carefully and connectedly and groat

ood will doubtless result therefrom, will be seen that Moses and Ellas returned, Samuel came back, and all along from the beginning to tho end will be found recorded upon its pages, evidence of spirit manifestations, inspiring the men of that day with hope and confidence, demonstrating the fact to them, as it has to thousands of to-dav that immortality is vouchsafed to all.

In profane history tho fact stands recorded that manifestations of a strange and peculiar charactenhave reappeared in one phase or another all the way down the stream of time, causing many mediums to lose their lives under the charge of witchcraft, bursting forth today with greater power than ever,making converts everywhere, enlisting tho best minds in tho land who declare that they know of a surety that these things are true. Can those who never investigated the philosophy or witnessed the manifestations to any considerable extent, consistently say you are deceived and sneerlngfy cry humbug, humbug? Would it not be more consistent, now, that an opportunity is oflered, to come and investigate Every chance possible to detect a fraud will be granted, yea, more, wo will pay to be undeceived.

That there may be no misunderstanding as to the conditions on which an investigation can be had in which money is at stake, I will repeat the proposition in as explicit a manner as possible. Mrs. Smith may select three of her lady friends, Mrs. Sewart the same number, making a committee of six, whose duty it shall be to examine the medium previous to entering the cabinet with privilege to call her from the cabinet at any moment to be re-exam-ined this committee may select a second committee In which each party shall be equally represented, which dnty it shall be to guard the cabinet and see that nothlog secreted therein by which to practice a fraud, with privilege to take the cabinet down at any time. At close or seance, the committee will take charge of Mrs. Smith,

who

f/,.\

shall conform to the same conditions granted by Mrs. Stewart. As many evenings may be had continue the investigation as desired, and she msy have any length of time to practice in. Should they detect a fraud on the part of the medium. Mrs. Smith ahall have five hundred dollars reward. Should she produce the same manifesta

i«Vo.

tions, evade detection, and show that they are produced outside of spirit phenomena, she shall have one thousand dollars reward.

Any other party or parties may accept under this proposition,not excepting VonVleck, the notorious medium detective, nor yet the Davenport Brothers, whoso performance as per Mrs. John Smith, "excels anything done in Pence's Hall."

Mrs. John Smith says "It is quite safe so offer five hundred dollsrs for the detection of a fraud and then not

Eutthen

ermit any investigation*" Just so, Is it not all the better for her? Has she not the same chance to secrets masks, crowns, caps, white linen, red flannel, bracelets, spectacles, and other paraphernalia that is exhibited Most assuredly, under the proposition she has. Again she triumphantly refers to meesagea which purport to oome from certain talented and distinguished men as not being characteristic of the parties represented, in reply to which would recommend the advice given by John IV c. 1 v. —. "Beloved believe not every spirit, but try the spirits."

New, Mr. Editor, in conclusion permit me to inform Mrs. John Smitn or any other medium detective, that M. M. Pomeroy, (Brick) offers a reward of oue thousand dollars, to be paid in gold, to the one who will duplicate by other than spirit agency the feces exhibited through tho medlumship of Dr. Slade (See Pomeroy's Democrat, 21st ult. vj Also In a copy of the It. P. Journal of this week's issue, the editor, S.S.Jones, offers one thousand dollars reward for a detective who will expose Mr. Bustian's manifestations of that place, (Chicago.)

The manifestations in each of the three, being similar, if successful in one, there will bo no difficulty in detecting the remaining two. It will pay. So, good-bye, Mrs. John Smith.

ALLBN PKNCE.

p. s.—I regret to find it is not Mrs. John Smith's intention to discuss Spiritualism any further hope she may be induced to reconsider the matter, as I have several other mediums to whom I wish to call her attention, for instance, we have Miss Laura Morgan, a child of eloven summers, through whose mediumship wonderftal things are done, but will add nothing farther now. as my article is already too long.

THE few people who oppose the woman suffrage movement, havo tho good sense, as a general rule, to keep still. The novel announcement that a man 1 would speak in opposition to giving the ballot to woman, drew a large audience to Pence's Hall, Wednesdsy evening, where Mr. J. H. Beadle of Rockville, made one of the most interesting and ingenious arguments have ever heard on that side of the question. Adopting a conversational style, with little or no attempt at oratorical flourish, he enchained the attention of his audience for an hour and a half, as he attempted to show that woman's phyileal weakness Is a bar to suffrage, argued that the power to enforce law Is the only true basis of government intlmated that tho supporters of woman suffrage want the privileges of men snd the immunities of women, claimed that woman is now greatly favored by the laws of State snd nation, and In a clear and concise manner gave his objections to woman suffrage.
