AND PENSIONS. G A. Commander-in-Chief Adams on Pr dent Cleveland’s Message. The following official circular has been is- sued by Commander-in-Chief Adams of the Grand Army of the Republic: Whereas, the President of the United |}States in his message to Congress, has |stated that thousands of neighborhoods |have their well-known fraudulent pension- ers, and as the mission of the Grand Army of the Republic is to ‘encourage, honor and purity in public affairs,’ I therefore call the attention of ail the comrades, posts and departments of our order to the state- jment of the President, and urge them to jreport to the honorable commissioner of |pensions, Washington, D. C., any person \known to be in receipt of a pension not, me under the law, | |justly entitled to the land ‘to forward a duplicate of said report to these headquarters at once. Let the | cases of fraud be proven, not implied. ‘The information that comes to these head- quarters daily of comrades, totally disabled, whose pensions have been suspended, and of widows, whose husbands were killed in battle, being suspended until they nm prove that their husbands were naturalized citi- zens of e United States, leads the com- |maniler-in-chief to believe that that state- |ment is broader than can be substantiated by facts. If these wrongs actually exist, the commander-in-chief piedges the support | of the Grand Army of the Republic to those who attempt, in the line of duty, to rectify these wrongs, assuring them that the Union veterans are as anxious to guard the treas- ury of the nation in time of peace as they were to defend its flag in time of war. ‘The Death Roll.

The Effort Being Made to Divert the Public School Fund. ORGANIZED RESISTANCE. ‘The large congregation that filled the Church of the Covenant yesterday morning listened to a sermon from the pastor, Rev. Dr. Hamlin, on the subject of “Church and State.” Dr. Hamlin discussed the modern |tendency to merge these two powers. He said that there was no doubt that it was the intention of the founders of the republic to ordain a complete separation of the church and the state. He referred to the two provisions in the Constitution which forbid religious tests and legislation respect- ing an establishment of religion or prohib- iting the free exercise thereof. ‘Experi- ence,” said the speaker, “has demonstrated, however, that they are not sufficiently full and explicit. The intention of our people undoubtedly is complete separation, Not only to have no state church, nor merely to forbid the state to interfere with any cit- jizen’s religious convictions and preferences, but to prevent any indirect and insidious methods of using the public money or pub- lic office to advance the interests of any religious denomination. State Charity Aid. “This national purpose has been meas- urably defeated by granting state and na- tional aid to charitable institutions under sectarian control, and by the system of contract schools among the Indians. This seems 2 small and harmless thing, and un- |til recently has not been recognized as a violation of the fundamental principle of denominations have renounced their part- nership with the state and determined to do their school work, as they do their church work, with their own funds. This must be made universal. Indian children must either be educated in government schools at pub-| lic expense, or the mission schools must be | paid for wholly by those that control them. |For myself, I decidedly prefer the former! alternative. As to charitable institutions, the same must be done.” He referred to the indignation which was expressed because one church, the Roman | Catholic, gets the lion’s share of public money used in charities. “No doubt,” he said, “this is grossly unfair. But to base our objection upon the unfairness of the, distribution is to practically concede that we ! would be satisfied if we could only get our full share of the spoils. That is, we are willing to have virtual union of church and state provided we can sufficiently profit by it. * * © * But the chief point of peril to this principle les at the public schools. They are founded upon the conviction that in a cepul lic _the oniy safe citizens are in- | telligen tizens. Hence all are taxed, re-| gardiess of any personal return from the taxes that they pay; regardless of whether or not they have children of their own; that all the children of the state may be educat- ed for the common safety and welfare. The schools thus created and maintained are) among our most priceless national posses- sions. * * * Now, these schools are as. saued by one class of our citizens, Not by a political party, but by a church. And by @ church whose center of authority and power is not within our own territory, but in a foreign land; not in a republic, but in a monarchy; whose own government is a combination of absolute and oligarchic rule, whose official business is all transacted in an alien and dead language, which flies a flag of its own side by side with the stars and stripes, and which owns supreme al- beaspeered to “oot a who claims the right up and cast pede lown governments at his Tribute to the Roman Chareh, “These characteristics of the Catholic Church are mentioned solely by way of definition and description. None of us, I trust, are blind to the great merits and in- estimable services of that church. We can adopt the eloquent words of the iate Dr, Schaff in his noble paper upon ‘The reunion of Christendom,’ read before the parliament of religions at Chicago. “Tne Latin church is a glorious church, for she carried the treasures of Christiun and classical iitera- ture over the gulf of tne migration of na- tions, and preserved order m the chacs of civil wars; she was the aima mater of the barbarians of Huvop2; she turned painted Savages into civilized ‘beings, and worship- ers of idols into worshivers of Christ; she built up the colossal structures of the papal | theocracy, the canvn law, the monastic ord- ers, the cathedrals, and the universities; | she produced the proiouni systems of the scholastic and mystle theology; she stimu- lated and patronized the renaissance, printing press, and the discovery cf a new world; she still stands, I'ke an immovavie rock, bearing witness to the fundamental truths and tacts of our holy sengion, und to the catholicity. unity, unbroken continu- ity and independence of the «hurch, and she is as zealous as ever in missionary enter- prise and self-denying works of Christian charity. “With such a church, as a religious organi- zation, and in all her religious activities, we not only have no quarrel, but we have profound sympathy and desire to have hearty co-operation. Her attitude toward the public schools is not to be met by frantic denunciation; by theatrical appeals to God, to ‘wither the tongue’ that will not curse her because of St. Bartholomew; by linking her as a cause with rum and rebei- lion; nor by any form of ridicule or clamor. She’ has indeed committed heinous crimes against property, liberty and life; against human rights and human freedom and prog- ress. But What Protestant church is in a position to cast the first stone at her?” Kind but Decisive Action. ‘The preacher spoke of the immense serv- ice to civil freedom, social order and per- sonal morality rendered by the Catholic church. He referred to the services of Catholics in the late war and the work for the Union performed by Archbishop Hughes of New York city. The debt which the temperance cause owes to Father Mathew was mentioned. He believed in recognizing such facts, to refrain from felse accusa: tions and to try to understand the Catholic | position and to meet it with cogént argu- ment and with kind but decisive action. He referred to the efforts being made in the states of New York and Maryland to |divect a portion of the public funds to | Catholic parish schools. “Now the gist,” said the preacher, “of the claim for such action is that the public schools are God- | less. This We meet with an emphatic de- nial. They do not, indeed, teach denomi- national Christianity in any form, but they do teach Christian morals. ‘They, like all our other American institutions, are in- yrmed and transfused by the spirit of Christianity. “Qur Homan Catholic friends insist that education in religion {s essential. We as- sent most heartily. But we say, such edu- ation is the work of the home and the church. The state cannot give it without making choice between different denomina- | tons; that is, without practically setting up |a state church. If any citizens feel that the primary schools must share with the home | and the church the work of religious educa- tion, let them maintain such schools at their own cost. But, they say, this is a grievous and unjust burden. We are taxed to sup- port schools that our conscientious convic- tions will not allow us to patronize. We concede the burden but deny the injustice. “All childless citizens bear the same burden. So do wll parents who send their children to | | | promptly and adversely to the Catholic | it is now clearly raised before all our people. private schools. And they bear it cheerfully for the public good, that all children of the nation may become intelligent freemen. Sectarinn Schools Inferior. “But our Catholic friends claim that their schools are, as educational and American, equal to the public schools. This claim was emphasized in a Thanksgiving address of Archbishop Satolli. He said the more pub- lic opinion and the government favored the ‘atholic schools, more and more will the elfare of the commonwealth be advanced. Ihe Catholic education is the surest safe- guard throughout the centuries of the Con- stitution, and the best guide of the republic in civil progress. “We deny that this is true of any sectarian education whatever. We would resist as strenuously the proposition to intrust pub- lic education to the Presbyterian Church as we do the proposition to intrust it to the Catholic Church. The fact is, the Catholic parish schools are not as efficient educators in secular studies as the public schools. I have myseif been principal of a public school, and can testify that the pupils re- ceived from parish schools were below— usually, far below—the grade that their age suggested. I believe this to be the uniform testimony of all public school teachers, both Protestant and Catholic. “This in the matter of learning alone. In the matter of Americanism, the case is in- finitely stronger. It is utterly repugnant to the genius of our institutions that our chil- dren should be segregated in their educa-~ tion along denominational lines; and, which is really a correlary to this, along racial lines, Our people are heterogeneous; they must be trained in knowledge of each other, and in mutual respect and confidence. This ean be done only in the public schools, and in them it is done most effectually. More- over, these schools have an inculcate, an undivided allegiance to our flag and our Constitution. I am not alleging any lack of patriotism on the part of Catholics. I be- lieve there is no such lack. Within their churches and their parish schools they “sch devotion to the sovereign pontiff beyond the | Atlantic. Thia is their unquestioned right. But who will say that it tends to produce in the young that intense spirit of American- | ism which is essential to the best citizen- ship of the republic? Rather American Approval, “Our Catholic friends make a fatal mis- take, then, when they plead for a division of the school fund, as Dr. Walsh does for the New York bill, on the ground that it is approved at Rome by the cardinals and clergy, and by the leading prelates of Eng- land, Ireland, France and Germany. These are doubtless excellent men and devout Christians; but they cannot be expected to unde-stand our institutions or our wishes, Archbishop Satolli has shown, on the whole, a remarkable appreciation of Ameritan ideas, and has uttered many sentiments that every American can applaud; but on this vital question of the public schools he is far astray, and is leading his church toward bottomless quicksands. For the American people will never consent to a diversion of one dollar of the school fund into sectarian channels, “This is not a new issue. It has often been raised locally and has always been met Church. For one, I am very thankful that We must not imagine that the whole Cath- olic Church is sn one side and all the rest of the nation on the other. There are some | priests and very many laymen as loyel to the public schools as any Protestant can be. “The movement has its seat and force dis- | tinctively in the hierarchy. But we should not be constantly menaced by it and by similar movements. The beneficent separa- tion of church and state should not be left to the hazard of repeated local and minor | conflicts. It should be secured once for all at the point where the experience of a cen- tury has shown the danger to lle. And this can be Cone only by a constitutional amend- ment. A New Amendment. “Organized peril must be met by organ- ized resistance. Precisely this is the func- tion of the National League for the Protec- tion of American Institutions. It is com- pletely non-sectarian and non-partisan. Its membership embraces many foremost citi- zens of all creeds. It procured the intro- duction into the last Congress, and will pro- cure the reintroduction into this, of this proposed sixteenth amendment to the na- tional Constitution. “No state shall pass any law respecting an establisment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or use its prope-ty or credit, or any money raised by taxation, or authorize either to be used, for the purpose of founding, maintaining, or aiding, by appropriation, payment for services, expenses, or otherwise,any church, religious denomination or religious society, or any institution, society, or undertaking which is wholly, or in part, under sectarian or ecclesiastical control.’ “Let this become a part of our organic law. Then denominational charities will flourish upon private beneticence. Then the government will no longer maintain a part- nership with churches, hazardous and de- moralizing alike to both it and them. Then our public schools will be safe and the sacred fund that maintains them inviolable. Then we will have secured for ourselves and for posterity the priceless blessings of a free church in a free state.” aes A HAWAIIAN EDITOR. | w ter G. Smith,Who E Been Fight- ing Liliuokalant and Wilson. Walter G. Smith, editor of the Hawatian Star of Honolulu, who got himself into con- siderable trouble with ex-Marshal Wilson, went to California from Ithaca, N. Y., in 1888, bringing with him a small newspaper plant and locating in San Diego. During the boom in southern California he publish- ed a weekly paper, but could not make it pay, and abandoned it for a position on another paper. He afterward became edl- tor of the Sun, an evening paper. It was while occupying this post that John R. Berry, editor of the Union, exposed a fili- bustering scheme of Smith and others which was intended to culminate in the capture of lower California, and which excited ne- tional interest at the time. Smith then went to San Francisco and secured a position on a morning paper. When the political rup- ture occurred in Honolulu, Smith went there and almost ever since his arrival he has been in the heat of the turmoil by reason of his bitter attacks on the royalists. He is a young man of force and ability, well educated and practical, a graduate Cor- nell of the class of 1882, and ever since his arrival at Honolulu has been a powerful ally of the annexationists. ee —_—____ Bicycle Beat the Horse. ‘The bicycle-horse race in Madison Square Garden, New York, Saturday evening, end- | ed in a fiasco, The proposed race was to have been for a distance of twenty-five miles between Charles Ashinger, the ex- champion long-distance bicyclist, and Jack Alexandre of Florida. Alexandre was to have the use of two horses, which he could change at the end of each mile. At the end of the fifth lap Alexandre’s stirrup strap broke and he was thrown heavily on the track. The next mile was hotly contested, but when Alexandre again changed horses another stirrup strap broke and the rider was thrown again. He claimed that the horse had injured him so as to render him incapable of continuing the race. -s00 Chess Experts’ Tournament.

The conditional examinations were passed off in all of the schools Friday and re- membrance of the first quarter no more. The foot ball league which which was or- ganized in October has proven the most de- cided failure of any undertaking of the past } years. This organization was first sug-| gested by Mr. Richmond of the Business, and he accordingly drew up a schedule of games, which, if carried out, would have made this foot ball season the most promi- nent in the history of the High School. When everything was in readiness for the initial games the Business team tried to play cne of its teachers and, the other teams objecting, subsequently withdrew from the league, thus making the first move toward ruining a well-intended or- ganization. The other schools tried to nold the matter up and the leaders drew up another schedule, but then arose a little trouble between the Centrals and East- erns, which virtually did away with the league. Only two games had been played— | Centrals against Westerns and Centrals | against Eastern, Central coming out vic- torious in both games. Already there are a large number of the alumni in town who have come on for the reunion and the high schools are being visited daily by old students desirous of once again being associated with their former classmates. Central. An interesting and highly instructive talk on the world’s fair was given at the Cen- tral High School Friday night by Miss Anna Seaton Schmidt, who is very well known to Washingtonians through the delightful lectures on France and Italy, which she has delivered in this city. To illustrate her remarks Miss Schmidt made use of one hundred very fine stereopticon views,which had been selected especially for the occa- jon. The lecture was listened to with the closest attention by the fairly sized audi- a that had assembled in the exhibition Mr. Brown has at last succeeded in bring- ing together his noble band of “Philaleth- eans” and effecting a permanent organi- zation for the years 1893-94. At the meet- ing recently held at the residence of Miss Bailey, on Capito! Hill, officers were elected and by-laws were admitted to the constitu- tion. The officers, as elected at the meeting, are: Mr. O. P. M. Brown, president; Miss Myers, first vice president; Mr. Reichel- derfer, second vice president, and Miss | Young, secretary and treasurer. Those entertained by Miss Bailey were Misses | Biddis, Herriott, Diver, Lynham, Martin, Myers, Ross, Young and Shafer, and Messrs. Broom, Finckel, Prince, Donnally, Ash, Hayes, Smith, Reichelderfer, Test and Mills. During the evening Mr. Test proposed a “cake walk” and Mr. Ash and Miss Shafer | were decided to be the handsomest, most graceful and most fearless couple in the battle for the largest piece of cake. The “Phialethea” has been in organization | now for three years and it is the intention | of the members to hold the club together as far as possible in the future. ‘The military instructors have been silent recently as to the respective standings of the companies of the first and second bat- talions, but they have finally expressed their opinions and it seems that all of them are inclined to favor the second battalion. This places the Central behind the other schoois | in drill, foot ball being their last hope; but | it 1s safe to say that the team Is one of the organizations from which great results may be expected. The Central-Business game has not been played off. ‘The “Quatre Amis” has been holding a number of meetings recently with its four unknown in attendance. It has been ascer- tained that Mr. Robert Test and Miss Grace | Ross form the “biggest half” of the club. | The “Procktophantasmists,” the pupils | formerly composing the Universal Club, have elected the following officers: Miss | Metcalf, president; Mr. Page, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Morgan, “protector.” The enrollment is now complete, with the exception of one member,who will be select- ed before the next meeting. The following clubs held their regular meetings Friday night: Senior, Universa!, Quatre Amis and Dramatic. Miss Grace Ross -has been selected a: leading lady of the Dramatic Club and is now rehearsing the principal feminine role | in “Rio Grande.” Mr. Test is still taking | the leading part, and Mr. Warner has made | his exit from the organization, having “got” enough of amateur theatricals during his two weeks’ membership in the club. Miss Mortimer, secretary of class of "90, is daily receiving answers to the announce- ments sent out a short time ago. Eastern. ‘There have been a number of changes in Capt. Leonard's drill squad recently and at present it is made up as follows: Sergts. Herrell, Hillyer, Burnham, Bouton and Meigges; Corps. Sites, Graff, Parsons, Bow- man, Brock and Murphy, and Private Yount, who ranks among the very best drilled in the squad. The drill is on the silent order, no commands being given, except in cases of entry on and exit from the stage, and a piano. Lieut. McKeldin will be the ac- companist for the squad and yesterday af- ternoon “banged” on the plano for two hours while the boys went through the movements and Capt. Leonard sifted out all “breaks.” The foot ball game between teams repre- senting companies F and G at the Eastern was not played Friday afternoon on ac- count of the poor condition of the ground. The next fair day will be selected for the | game, which is now exciting considerable interest between represeniatives and friends of the two companies. The Tuesday morning talks by third year boys, which have been announced in the | hail, ‘will, in all probability, be inaugurated | | on a week from next Tuesda: ‘The athletic classes are doing good work at present and the short drills of the past three weeks have made a marvelous im- provement in the physical appearance of all of the boys. The Classical Club of "97 met last night of Mr. Foust, the following | being the officers of the club as elected at the last meeting: Miss Wiihelmina La Hayne, president; Miss Dora Stevenson, vice president; Mr. Henry Dobson, secre- and Mr. Carl Foust, treasurer. The committee on entertainment for the next meeting is Miss Stevenson and Messrs. Fraser and Brown. ‘The following promotions have been made in company Y: Miss Bugbee, first sergeant, and Miss Robinette, fifth ‘sergeant. The program that Mr. Riordon has selected for | the company drills is a very one. These drills will be novelt the young lady captains will command the| companies. The program will occupy eight minutes. Messrs. Fraser and , two ambitious and enterpris vaths 3 the first are now considering the ing a four-page sheet, to be called TI Crith the object of the scheme being to furnish the students with good sohd high school news, and criticising the articles that appear in other high school organs; in fact, it to be a critical paper, criticising every- thing. Out of the squad of twelve young ladies who are practicing with Indian clubs the following have been selected for the exhi- bition drills: Misses Swingle, Robinette, Bugbee, Smith, Gardner, Deis, Sites and EN el for it in school, as for the other features of the entertainments. Miss Allen, teaching English, received @ slight injury from a fall several days ago which necessitated her absence from school on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The Euphrosyne met last night at residence of Miss Swingle, with a full at- tendance. The Classical Club of "94 held its semi- monthly meeting last night at the residence of @liss Bertha Adams, 1435 S street north- west. Business. The second game between the Business and Central foot ball teams will eccur om the Wednesday of the Christmas holidays. Both teams are practicing every day in the play rooms, and many have gone so far as to say that the next score will also be 0 tod, Miss Cruikshank has resigned from the Dramatic Club and Miss Strauss has been selected to take her place as leading lady, in “American Hearts.” Mr. Gerry, one of the teachers, has an idea that the young ladies should organize a@ giee club and has commenced selecting names. Miss Scammell will have charge and has promised to do all she can to make the club a success. ‘The girls’ drill squad, after many differ- ences of opinion, has finally selected a cos- tume, an original costume, but they stub- bornly keep the nature of the costume to themselves, ‘The orchestra has now fifteen members, all of whom are very proficient on their re- spective instruments, Thomas Grank, class of "94, has been ap- = “regimental” editor on the Balance ect. During Mr. Haskell’s absence Mr. Jesse Suter very creditably instructed his classes, Mr. Lewis, the captain of the foot ball team—the young Butterworth—has been ill all of the week and unabie to attend school, He will probably return Monday. ‘The octet, under the direction of Mr. Datic fel, is still alive and accomplishing a great deal in the vocal line. Mr. Muth has writ- ten a short selection in verse, which is now being rehearsed. The Senior Club of "92 is talking of hold- ing a meeting soon for the purpose of reor- ganization. “he members are: P. A. Hall, president; Misses Price, Collins, Billingsley, Fridley, Latimer, Hardy, McNelly, Cowles, Nixon, and Messrs. Leit, Young, Blondy, Dy Jones, Goiuliebe and Wilson, Western. Although Friday was a holiday for @ number of the pupils, the participants in the entertainment devoted the whole day to re hearsals of their respective features. Owing to a lack of stage room, it has been decided to the six best drilled young ladies in the Indian club squad go through a fancy program instead of the entire squad. Miss Fanny Hurst has been chosen leader of the squad. Mr. Taussig will not disband his team, be- cause of several postponed games he is dee sirous of playing off. ———_— AMONG THE LAW STUDENTS, 1 Class Elections, Moot Court Trials an@ Other Proceedings. The election of officers for the senior class at Columbian Law School, which has been the subject of s» much speculation and not a little semi-political wire-pulling, took place Wednesday evening in the lecture hall of the university. Mr. A. B. Taylor and Mr. H. N. Saxton were respectively elected temporary chair- man and temporary secretary. There were several nominations for the presidency, but Mr. M. A.

Over 100,000 Persons tm the City ‘Chicago has waked up to the fact that thousands of people are starving to death on her streets. Meetings were held Satur- day and yesterday of representatives of the various charitable organizations of the city. At these meetings were many prominent business men. A large portion of the population 1s stranded, and the outlook is dubious. There are 117,000 people out of employment, an@ 10,000 of them have no food or money. Many of these are intelligent mechanics. Their condition is so desperate that it has developed something new in the lodging house business. For five cents the lodger has the privilege of sitting on a chair all night and sleeping the best he can. Those who cannot pay the five cents, and they average 4,000 a night, sleep on the floors of the police sta- tions, in the corridors of the city hall an@ in the missions of the slums. By actual count 1,119 men sought shelter in the city hall one night last week. ? —— teen ITALYS NEW CABINET.
