RELIGION IN THE SCHOOL A DISCUSSION BEFORE THE 3DU CATIONAL ASSOCIATION. Bishop Keane Defends the Denomlna tional Idea—The People of the Coun try Represented as Divided Into Two i Classes— Edwin D. Mead Throws His Gauntlet Into the Ring. Nashville, Tenn., July 17.—The sec ond day 8 session of tho National Educa tional Association was called to order at 9 o’clock this morning by President Marble, with a very large attendance of teachers and educators. Henry A. Wise of Baltimore read a paper upon the introduction of manual training a *7p- present time into the public schools. Ihe question of denominational schools was taken up, and Bishop John J. Keane of V ashington was introduced to the audience. 110 extended the regrets of Cardinal Gib bons at his inability to be present, and read a paper prepared by Cardinal Gibbons on tnis question: “Should Americans educate their children in denominational schools?” BISHOP KEANE’S ARGUMENT. Bishop Keane followed in an able paper on the same subject, taking the position that Christianity was the basis of all true gov ernment, and should bo inculcated during tho period whou children were attending aohooL' If the influence of the church was beneficial in the family, it was also in tho school. Bishop Keane said : The glory of a Christian nation is not in ita ability to surpass all around itiu martial prow ess and in return of trade, but the intelligence, morality, comfort and contentment of its people. The school is not made a Christian school by taking up a great deal of time in doctrinal instruction or in devotional exerciso which would otherwise be spent in acjuiriug secular knowledge. ITS MORAL TONE. What above all makes it a Christian school are too moral atmosphere, general tone, sur rounding objects, character of tne teachers, constant endeavor, loving tact, gentle skill, by which the light and spirit of Christianity, its lessons for the head, for the heart, tor the whole character, are made to pervade and animate tne whole bchool life of tho child. The intelligent Christian parent knows well mat what ought to bo true e’f every nationality withih the pale of Christian civilization is pre eminently true of ours, that the best Christian is sure to be the best American, and that the school which aims at sending forth his child a model Christian in equal degree tends to send lum forth a model American. But Christ ian civilization has for its natural foundation Christian homes and Christian schools. SURE TO CHOOSE A tOOI> ONE. Again, therefore, a good Christian American parent, if he is true to his principles, will he sure to choose for his child a good Christian American school. Suspicious antagonisms and animosities, ought uever to be instilled iu any Christian church; and, if they art, that church lias not the spirit of Christ in it and ought to be deserted, it may lie saij, is not the Catholic church at least committed to the Christianity of tho Hildebrand of the middle ages, ami is it not therefore antagonistic to he Christianity of the nineteenth century and of the American republic? In the name of the Cat holic church. 1 answer that Bhe is commit ted neither to Hildebrand and the middle ages, nor to the policy of any man ner of any age whatsoever, because she is for all men, and therefore for all ages and for all forms of social condition. Look now at the people of our country, and we see them divided into two classes. One on the side of tho Catholic church emphatically declares for Christian education, and with us the side of ail those uon-Catholics, whatever may be their denomination, who believe in Christian schools, and in them are giving their children an education animated by Christianity, as they understand it. On the other side are the tfpholders and advocates of a national system of schools iu which Christian truth and duty caimot he taught. Can any one in his senses hesitate wuich of these two sides is for the welfare of our country? MR. MEADE REPLIES. Edwin D. Meade of Boston replied to Bishop Keane, and stated that the parochial school has no proper place in the system of American instruction. The speaker quoted from an English Catholic dictionary, pre pared by Thomas Arnold, sou of the great master of Rugby, brother of Matthew Arnold, and father of Mrs. Ward, author of “Robert Elsmere.” In an article on edu cation in the dictionary, the author said that rnau is a complex being, s > his education must have several ends. The prime end is religious, and the Catholic holds that a man must seek religious knowledge at the hands of the only divinely appointed church, and that this is the highest authority iu educa tion. Thu state may reasonably require that its citizens should receive such train ing as may restiain anti-social passions, and promote the public welfare; but the end pursued by tho church is primary, that pursued by the state is secondary. 1c was not bold or honest in Cardinal Manning in his recent article to represent the conflict us between the state and family, the speaker quoted largely from Cardinal Man ning’s articlo, which no said attempted to represent tho public school as a coercion, and an interference with family rights, and liberty of conscience. The whole policy of t. e Roman Catholic church in establishing parochial schools in this country rests on this coercion. The Roman Catholic church school does not have the same place in America ns tho Episcopal school or any private school, the right To open its doors, to make itself ns attractive as possible, and to invite to it anybody that it will. It has fuli light to criticise the public school, but it must not threaten. In conclusion, an appeal was made for a higher view of the state. Mr. Meade’s address was received with great applause, and at its final close Rt. Rev. Bishop Keane was called on to respond. MANNING DEFENDED. The bishop defended Cardinal Manning from what ne characterized as tho unjust criticism of Mr. Meade. Ho also stated that Pope Leo XIII. was moving along the highest lines of the broadest education iu placing the church above tho state. The bishop said that whenever we have Christian civilization we j must have for its basis Christian education, , which can only he given bv making our schools more Christian than they are with out coercion, or clap trap, so‘r,uated solely by common sense principles. Let us nail to our masthead the banner of Christian edu cation, and go under its guidance to that blessed destiny a most sublime God ever gave to a nation, the detiny of our Amei can republic. Auiid long continued applause the bishop rtsumed his seat and the meeting ad j urued. William A. Mowrey, P. D., of Boston, j advocated a national university to bo es- j tablished at Washington, D. CL, its faculty I to be independent of politics, and a govern mental endowment of $200,009 was recoin- j mended. Ihe euueational progress of thj colored 1 people iu the south was presented by John ! H. Burris of Rodney, Miss. He said the race was entitled to great credit for tho material progress they had male iri tho past twenty-five years. They Oivn and publish 250 newspapers and o.ie magazine. Valuable inventions and useful arts have been made, and patents insuod to negro in ventors. Their progress warrants tho full est confidence in their future. - —— Johnstown Disbursements.

Milwaukee, Wis., July 17.—A special from Elk Horn, announces that Johu E. Burton, known as the Gogebic iron king during the mining craze two years ago, has made an assignment. Gage E. Tarbeil of Milwaukee, is the assignee. The liabilities of Burton are stated to lie about $525,000, an 1 the Central Trust Company of New York, whose claim is $350,000 is the largest creditor. A Suit involving tho legality and justice of this claim, which is disputed, is now pending before the supreme court. The county secured Maims agaiust Burton amount to about $600,000, and there is uo prospect that there will bo anything left to pay tho unsecured claims, the assets being slated to ba about $701,000, including $600,000 in real estate, aud SIOO,OOO iu per sonal property. HOW IT 18 DIVIDED. The real estate consists of property in Take Geneva valued at $300,000, a business block iu Chicago valued at $200,000, and property iu liurly and other places valued at SIOO,OOO. Besides this there is stated to be SIOO,OOO worth of personal property consisting of mortgage, notes, stocks, etc. There aro no pre ferred creditors. Burton says that he has been so harassed by his creditors that he was forced to assign. Ho said Inst night: “Nearly 100 suits have been brought against mo in eighteen months and my credit ruined and my property depreciated and slaughtered from $2,200,000 to less than $1,000,000, and in nearly all cases it was wholly unnecessary.’' CHINAMEN BUY A MINE. Big Schemes of the Mongolians in Lower California. City of Mexico, July 17.—Advices from lower California state that a Chinese syndi cate, which has bought a half interest in the Masic concession, regard the oro in the real miue as looking well, and miners will soon be put to work there, receiving as wages from $2 to $3 per day. The Chinamen are already talking of importing Chinese laborers direct from China to Eu sinada by the projected oceanic line to be put ou by Claus Sprockets, the sugar re finer. The syndicate has also bargained for extensivo tracts of land to be used for market gardening, aud for valuable fishiug privileges along the coast of the peninsulu. All this will necessitate an investment of no less than $1,000,000 of Chinese capital. This will in clude the amount, paid for the real Delca tillo mining property, garden lauds near Ensinada, the colony property, Seal aud shell fisheries, aud the more valuable pearl fisheries at the southern and of the penin sula.

Chicago, July 17. —A local paper says: “A circular has been issued that bears the signatures of the chief officers of the princi pal labor organizations of the United States: T. V. Powderly, general master workman, and John A. Hayes, general secretary of tho Knights of Labor; Samuel Oompers. president of the Federation of Labor; A. N. Sargent, chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen, and others. The locomotive engineers, through P. M. Arthur, true to their principle of exclusive ness and antagonism to other labor organi zations, have kept out of this concerted ac tion of tho others uud thereby hightened tho bitter tooling existing against them among other trades. OtJTUKOWTH OF A CONFERENCE. “The circular is the outcome of a con '‘orence held some time agoiu Philadelphia, tho object being tho formation of an alliance between the organizations represented by the signatures. It lias been issued privately to the organizations, and is not supposed to hr known to the public. If the alliance is realized, it will be by far the most formida ble labor organization that over existed in tho United ritatos or elsewhere. Tho cir cular calis upon all organizations of labor to strengthen and solidify their ranks to the ultimate end of bringing in their member ship every man and woinau in America who toils. A convention of delegates is to be called, if the various organisations ap prove of the plan, for tho purpose of devis ing some definite scheme of coalition.” HORRORS OF THE MINES. A Bad State of Affairs Dlsclosod at Braidwood. LaSalle, 111., July 17.—An investiga tion of the coal miniug difficulty hero yt-s --erday developed a bad state of affairs at Braidwood on the part of the miners, who endure all the evils of the truck store sys tem, and aro hampered in their work nt some of their mines by reason of not being adequately supplied with timber for prop ping up the roof, aud contrary to the slate mining laws they aro therefore in jeopardy of their lives. The coal cars according to the testimony were not properly con structed, so that much coal fell off while being hauled to the mouth of the mine, ull of which is confiscated by the com pany, and which some days ag gregates upward of twenty-five tons. The miues are very wet, and the miners had their clothes constantly soaked. Often the air is insufficient anil bad. Tno complaints from Bracevillo and St renter were not so great.. The miners’ wages averaged only S2O to $37 per month, with deductions for powder, repairing of tools, etc., of several dollars each month. L. H. Plumb, a Strentor operator, found tho com petition so sharp that he said he saw little hope for Northern Illinois operators. He has submitted his esse to the board of arbi tration. If he could not operate his mine at the rata of wages awarded ho would close ic. If the miners oould not work for the wages that might be named they were to bo under no obligations to do so. CHICAGO DOCK HANDS OUT. A Demand that They Be Paid 25 Cents an Hour for Their Work. Chicago, July 17.—About 600 dock labor ers and freight handlers for various Chi cago steamship companies went on a strike last night. The affair was inaugurated by the freight housemen of the Anchor Line Steamship Company. The strike was due to tho fact that the company refused to pay tho men 25 cents an hour in place of 20conts, which they now receive, and thus make it possible for them to earn $2 a day, working eight hours a day. Tho men held a meeting iu the Lumbermen’s exchange, some 700 or 800 dock hands being present to voice their demands on the company. A feeling of unanimity prevailed, and a letter embodying the needs ofjthe men was drawn up and sent to Superintendent Vans, who replied that he was perfectly willing to pay 25 cents an hour to the employes of his company, if the other lines would do the same thing, aud, moreover, that whether or not other lines did advance the schedule of w ages, he would do so, aud that on tho.first day of the coming month. All Die employes returned to work this morning. Tho company’s representative met the leaders of the strikers this morning and tho trouble was ad hinted. Tho basis of the settlement is not known, but it is l>o lieved that the men gained their point and were given SSO per month. A KANKAKEE LABOR WAR. Italians Prevent Other Miners from Resuming Work.
