The pnblication of a protest agednet 'higher education" at publie expense in the organ of tbe German Evangelical Hr nod ia especially notable from the foe! that the protect wse directed alao against State teaching of the German language, which all Germans ere supposed to favor. As a mat ter of fact, evanta are forcing a revalaion to tho original American standard of pnblio education, according to whieh it is held to be tha Btate'e duty to afford only such tn- strnction as ia necessary to oitizenship—to an understanding of the laws and the sys tem of government. Religion is among the potent causes at work in forcing the revul sion. People of deeply religious na tures and strong convictions naturally dec ire that their enildren ehonld be reared and educated in the same comic tions. If they are Christiana they desire that the education of their children ehonld be a Christian educe tion. The pnblio schools ere for all creod-, and, being so, no creed most be tsugbt in them or opposed in them. They must have no religion in them. This is one of the necessities of their existence, but relig ions people are alarmed on finding that the "higher education,” which has grown np as and exoresceuce on the common school system, involves inetraotion in sundry phil osophies, scientifiic theories and oiogies, whiob, from their standpoint, are regarded as militating against Christian oonrictlon. This has had its influence, bnt even s wider inflneBcehis been exeraised by the drift toward a monopoly of all education in the bands of the State. This tendency is inev itable whenever tho line which divides the rudiments from the higher learning is crossed in the free schools. Crossing it brings them into direet competition with schools mnnsged' as private enterprises and forces nch schools slowly, tut surely, to the waN. If the State assumes to give education in all branches of learning it necessarily mo nopolizes education, since the promoters of irivste schools are pnt under the double jnrdon of maintaining them by the pay ment of tnition, and of maintaining tbe S nblia school by the payment' of taxes. fsintalned at public expense, the pnblio school is able to oompets without being in reach ot competition. When tho original American theory of tree-school education is departed from, and the publio school un dertakes to make its pupils learned in all branofaes of knowledge,, the question whieh is presented is: "Is it advisable that the State shall take all education into its own hands?" Apprehension that this is the real ques tion has not been quick, tank it is sure. It is hastened by complication with the relig ious phase of the question,, and a feeling of hostility m produced which extends to the system, though it is only justified against its abuses. The efforts to maintain private schools have been attended with great difT.i- culties, and these difficulties are found to be on tbo increase as one branch after an other has been added to tho pnblio school curriculum,, bringing the State more and more into competition with its citizens cn gaged in oducationsl work. A DYNAfiHTK GUN. comprehended that to allow this to go on unchecked i» to give the StaVv a monopoly inthe'workof education, and, along with ibis certainty, another certainty presented itself —that in competing against the privato school ia whieh religions instruction is givsn the Htata is pursuing a policy whieh virtnally forbids religions instruction to be mode a part of the child's scholastic train ing. The patrons of parochial schools maintained by Chris liens of various denom inations accept State competition in mat- ten beyond rudimentary edcaation aa a manaee that, though they maintain the puli- lie sobools by payment of taxes, they will finally be deprived ot choice and forced to avail themselves of them by the rain of their private schools. As religious instruc tion oan never be given in public schools without revolutionizing the theory of the American government, they were able to see tbe manifest Injustice of innovations in the pnblio school system by wUeh it was diverted from its original purpose end made a means of ondermining private in ■traction. Our German t’atholto contemporary, tbe Amerika, has for a long time boon engaged in denouncing what it oorreotly names "the Boeislism” of this perversion oS - the com' mon schools, bnt the intelligent opposition to the "higher education" innovation is by no means confined to those whose religions convictions are antagonized by it. The prospeat of the State monopoly ot educa tion—a Socialistic precedent lihely to be of inealcnlable importance—is alarming to American patriotism and revolting to Amer ican instinoie. It is plain! UiatU the sys tem be not regnletod by the American standard the whole tendency of it will be away from free education toa servile educe- Tha Terrible Implement of Deitruotlon With Which the Government Is Experimenting The Chicago Tribune prints n detailed sod very interesting description of tbe near gun end prrjcctlle (or tho use ot which, subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Navy, Congress b.w appropriated the sum ot |:)5,0i0, to be applied in the con struction of a vessel which will carry three of them. The gun itself, which will carry a 400 pound projectile, is twelve and a half inch calibre and fifty feet in length, and will be operated by compressed air, the ex trema length of the ga» bring necessary to secure greater speed for the projectile, as the air continues to aocelerote its motion from the breech to the muzzle. There will be a battery of throe of these guns, trained on tho perpendicular, for the vessel which carries them sill never expose her brand- side to the enemy. She will flru stem sn, and then, if accessary, retire to load with out turning, so that she will never preseat much of a mark to be fired at, and each gun oan be loaded and worked by a sirgle nine. The explosive agent to be nsed in this gur is nitro-geiatiue or nitro-glycerine gela tinized. It will be placed in a steel pro jectile eleven feet in length. As a fuse oould not be used without exploding the projectile prematnrely, and percussion is hazardous, electricity i» used for exploding it, a battery being placed in the point of the projectile which produces a spark by ooncn-Bion or by the action of water an a sensitized surface, while at tbo other end of tho prejeotile is a knob which answers the pnrpbse of a rudder an l steers it with tha greatest sconraey. From the experi ments which have been made at Fort La- Foqette with one of these guns it is found that the nitro-gelatine can be fired two milts with precision and with no lisk to thoee handling it, as the sir-gan generates no nest. It wiU in ioct throw a projectile of tbs some relative proportions two-thirds as far as a rilled canuon. It has tba advan tage oifco of making no noise or smoke, so that no attention would lie called to its : ditchsrge from a vessel or a shore battery. Its adaptability to field operations is also established, as it is found that guns are perfectly practicable which will throw" fro in ten to twenty-live pounds of nitro-gelatino tbe distance of a mile. Huc-U in substance are the general chavae- toriatics of tha now explosive and the gun which lim it. Its deadly effects have been so well demonstrated that naval experts did net hesitate to say that one of these pro jectiles, striking her amidships, would de- stray any vessel of war afloat and every ode on board o.l her. This is sufficiently de structive, to say the least, and it brir gs up the rn'.erc'SliDg question bow long war coaid last if all nations were supplied with il, eud 11 tho result of tho atrngglo were simply’ dependent on the skztncss of one enemy- in firiuphis nirro-gelatiue first.
