How the Olergy and Some of the Mem- bers Regard the Public Schools. Bishop Paret Sets Forth the Position ef the Roman Church on the School Question. *_A large congregation at St. John’s P. E. Church yesterday morning listened to a sermon from Bishop Paret, which forcibly set forth his views on the relations between the church and the state, especially with regard to the public schools. The bishop in the evening delivered the same sermon at the Church of the Epiphany. The text was the well-known words found in Matthew, the 22d chapter and the 2ist verse—‘“‘Ren- der therefore unto Caesar the things that Caesar’s; and unto God the things that The preacher spoke of the divine sanction given to government and the guarantees of the civil power especially enjoyed in this country, which gives to every man the free enjoyment and exercise of his religion, whatever it may be. “But,” said the preacher, “it may not give its money or its influence directly or indirectly to help him in propagating it. I must speak plainly. There are efforts at change. There are plans laid; there are movements going on, which, unless they are watched and defeat- ed, threaten the very foundation of re- ligious freedom and equality for which we are so proud and thankful. These efforts and plans and movements are on the part of the Roman Church. “I do not say Catholic Church; not out of disrespect, but because you and I, not of that church of Rome, are truly Catholic; because that church when speaking in full lemnity expressly declares that she is not fhe Catholic Church, but only a part of it, and calls herself the holy Roman Church. Her own chosen name then we use. If it seems un-American not ours is the fault. Honest, Terribly So. “I must, I say, speak plainly, even as that church and its ministers speak plainly. But I hope I shall not speak uncharitably. I do not charge them with intentional wrong- doing. I believe them in their convictions and purposes to be honest—terribly honest. With all their hearts (and I honor them for it) they believe that church to be absolutely in the right, and that everything they do to advance its triumphs, however question- ed or questionable by men, is right in the eyes of God and has His biessing. “And so, dear brethren (1 wish we were as terribly in earnest), so do you and I be- lieve that not they, but we, hold the truth of Christ; and that our reformed commu- nion, holding fast the faith and worship of the first centuries, and freed from the er- rors and corruptions which had accumu- lated afterward, is for this land and nation the true representative and the most right- ful exponent of the Holy Catholic Church as our Lord founded and endowed it. 50 let me in love speak plainly. “That Roman Church, its bishops and ministers and some, not all, of its members are dissatisfied with our public school sys- tem. It is not a new thing, though the ex- pression has somewhat changed in form. Thirty or forty years ago it was far more boldly outspoken than now. Those of you who may recall the times and words of Orestes Browt.son and others of his day THE NICARAGUA CANAL. Period of Concessions to the American Company Has Nearly Expired. A special from San Francisco to the New York Herald says: The fate of the Nicara- guan canal seems to be trembling in the balance, and the Pacific coast shareholders have been appealed to for assistance. So great has been the interest aroused thut @ consultation of resident shareholders has already been held and a partial under- standing has been reached. The first intimation they had that any- thing was stirring in regard to the canal interests was conveyed by telegrams from Thomas B. Atkins, receiver for the Nicara- guan Canal Company, asking that the in- terests represented in San Francisco would consent to a reorganization of the Canal Construction Company. On the heels of Mr. Atkins’ request came a protest from certain large New York holders of the stock warning local shareholders against giving any written assent until letters were received. These letters are now on the way and are expected to arrive this week. In the meantime an advertisement has been published in the papers of this city calling upon the stockholders of the Nica- Canal Construction Company who may desire to assent to a reo! scheme, which the majority of the stock- holders, it is asserted, have already signed, to deposit their certificates with the Cen- tral Trust Company of New York before February 5 next, or be excluded from the benefits of the proposed reorganization, This is signed by John R. Bartlett, chair- man, United Bark building; Smith Weed, Plattsburg, N. ; Henry E. Howland of Anderson & L, Ed- wards, president of the Bank of the State of New York; John J. Emery of Emery Bres., Cincinnati; Wilhelmus Mynderse of Butler, Stillman & Hubbard, and E. K. Sibley of Marquay & Parmly, New York. a ene seen ag ered is made hoeed to the Nicaraguan Canal Company, not a word being said about the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua, which is a corpora- tion that holds the concessions for the canal. This fact has given great cause for anxiety to holders of stock in the original canal company. If the construction compa- ny is not able to go ahead in some form or ether, the concessions to the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua, given by the Nicaraguan and Costa Rican governments, will be declared forfeited, and the tenure of the American corporation which holds the United States charter will terminate. This important contingency is more than hinted at in a letter written about ten days ago by President Zelaya of Nicaragua to his minister at Washington, in which Presi- dent Zelaya commanded Minister Gusman to call on President Cleveland and say that he desired to know whether the United States government is in accord with the Nicaraguan Canal Construction Company, and whether government aid will be given it to continue the work that has been com- menced, and on which $6,000,000 has al- ready been expended. The Nicaraguan president drew attention to the fact that if six months shall elapse without any work being done on it, the con- cessions will lapse. Four months have al- ready elapsed since operations on it were suspended by order of the receiver. President Zelaya explained that the Nica- Taguan government has no desire to cancel the concession, provided there is a reason- able prospect for a continuance of energetic construction, as it preferred that the work shall proceed under American management. He added, however, that, failing in the active and substantial support of the Unit- ed States government, the Nicaraguan gov- ernment would consider it proper and wise to cancel the concession when its terms would permit of such action, in order that will remember with what unmitigated abuse our public schools and system were as- sailed. Public Schools Forbidden. “No words could then be too bitter. Under the several censures of the church parents were commanded not to let their children attend public schools. Then, when by the enforced edict of the church, it was made impossible for the members of the Roman Church to use them, a bold and im- perative demand was made that such mem- bers should either receive a distinct propor- tionate sum from the public funds for the support of their own parochial schools or that they should be exempted from taxa- tion. “Since then, from time to time, the same demand has come out in strong expression, despite its overwhelming rejection when first put forward. as if to test the sentiment of the nation. Then there was silence for atime. Their parochial schools w estab- lished and multiplied everywhere. ¥ do not blame them for it; I praise them.’ 1 take shame to myself that our own church has not shown like zeal for the children. They have the right to educate their children under religious influence at their own cost. The state would be violating the first prin- ciples of religious liberty if it should in any way prevent their doing it. Advantage of Private Schools. “The more schools we have, whether public or private, the better. The private schools will not harm the public schools, They may even spur them on to higher ex- cellence. I wish that every religious body could have its own to supplement and aid the public system. But in the public schools all might well share the nation’s pride. Men may snuff what they call heresy in the Apostles’ Creed or in some version of the Ten Commandments or in some translation of the Bible, but there is no heresy in the alphabet or the multiplication table or in chemistry or geometry. “But to this our Roman brethren do not seem to agree. Either arithmetic and | chemistry under the church’s oversight, | they seem to say, and with the ghurch flavoring or no arithmetic and chemistry.” Bishop Paret said that this opposition to the public school system, though not suc- ceeding, had not been abandoned, but mere- ly changed in form, and harsh words had given way to smoother ones. The hand that seemed clinched to strike had opened in an appearance of friendly grasp. At the west, in the Faribault scheme, there had been a seeming show of affiliation and generosity. ‘They established parish schools everywhere, trained their own teachers, and then said to the civil authorities: “Here, we make you a gift of all these. Use our buildings during school hours; take our teachers and our scholars. All we ask of you is to pay the expenses. We will take our chances for the religious influence: Charch Schools After All. “Under whatever more plausible form the proposal may have appeared,” continued the bishop, “this was to be the real effect. They were to be as effectively as ever Roman parochial schools; paid for out of the public money. And so the money belonging to un- denominational education would have been used in sustaining and propagating what would thus practically have been made tne established church. “No surer way could there be for estab- Ushing it than by using che state or na- tional treasury to help it in getting control of the children of the nation and their edu- cation. This was the scheme which Ameri- can citizens were asked to accept as a bene- faction—and a proof of great liberality and patriotism! “In the past few days another phase of the scheme has been developed. The par- isioners of the Roman Church have com- plained that they are being doubly tuxed for educational purposes; that they zre com- pelled to contribute tu the support of the public schools, as well as to bear the ex- penses of the parochial institutions and are demanding a relief from the alleged uouble burden.” Bishop Paret -lismissed th's cum- plaint as preposterous, and said it would be as just for the man who scut his chil- | dren to the great colleges and universities at his own expense to object to paying his share toward the public school fund, be- cause he did so. In conclusion, the bishop held that the great sense of the patriotic American people would never permit the church to pievail against the state, either as regarded ine public school system or anything elsc. ——. Stricken in a Broadway Car. Robert Livingston Cutting was suddenly taken ill Saturday morning while riding in a Broadway cable car at 4th street, New York. He was removed to the Mercer Street Hospital, where he died in a few minutes from heart failure. Mr. Cutting was a millionaire. He was fifty years old. He resided at 141 Sth ave- nue, and at the time he was stricken was on his way to his office at 19 William street. He was a prominent member of | many clubs. ——_—-+e+—___ An Explosion in London. Great excitement was caused at Islington, a northern suburb of London, on Satur- day, by an explosion of what subse- quently proved to be an infernal machine jin the railway station there. The machine had been left in the station and had been placed among the goods waiting shipment. When the explosion occurred the goods were set on fire. The flames gained little headway, however, and were extinguished t the Nicaraguan government might be able to enter into negotiations with a European syndicate, which, it is understood, stands ready to apply for a new concession. For the new company a capitalization of $12,000,000 is proposed, the plan being to take the securities of the Maritime Canal Company as fast as certain parts of the work are completed, and by realizing on the bonds obtain money to go ahead with op- erations. The sum of $6,000,000 has already been.put out in this work, and it is intimat- ed that $96,000,000 more will complete it. —-— DANGEROUS OBSTRUCTIONS. Hydrographic Map of Numerous Dere- lets in the North Atlantic. The naval hydrographic office has pre- pared an interesting statement of colll- sions in the North Atlantic ocean during the past seven years other than those that took place within. bays, harbors or other tributary waters of the Atlantic. Forty- two collisions are reported. Nine, or nearly one-fourth, resulted in sinking vessels, while fourteen vessels were considerably damaged. The list of naval collisions would doubtless be longer if details had been re- ceived of the steamer Naronic and other vessels reported missing and hever heard from. The hydrographers say the list is large enough as it stands to prove the dangerous nature of derelict vessels and the urgent need of their prompt removal. In 1893 at least one ship was lost on ac- count of a collision with a wreck off the Nova Scotia coast. Three vessels in the last year were considerably damaged in the same way. Five other ships collided with derelicts with no serious results. Dangerous Obstructions, There are at least fourteen dangerous obstructions to navigation along the At- lantic coast. Most of these are along the North and South Carolina coasts, in a general southwesterly direction from Cape Hatteras. There are within a distance of | P fourteen miles four sunken vessels, in each case the masts are showing above the surface of the water. On the treacherous Outer Diamond shoal, near Cape Hatteras, is the sunken steamer Wetherby, with hull submerged, showing a black funnel and main top. At Cape Lookout is another sunken vessel. In the vicinity of Frying Pan shoais light ship are six sunken wrecks, each with masts exposed. In Bos- ton harbor, off Dread Ledge, between Keg rock and Nahant, is the sunken schooner Sarah Louise,with her topmast out of water. In Hell Gate, New York harbor,is a sunken coal barge, the exact position of which is not reported. ‘The location of these wrecks is given by observers. The Navy Department has ar- ranged for the removal of these obstruc- tions, and the Vesuvius will start out from New York in a few days to blow up the most dangerous ones. ———__+ e+ —_____ The Capital Glee Club.
