I hoiethata strenuout. tiTjit will be made thit an amei.dme..t he etiackd according to the proposed resolution of the board of education to place the sa loon licence fees and fines in am i her fund and give us a cli-an fund for our schools. , If I am rightly informed our limit 1 levy for schoi l purposes is twenty mills and 1 believe wo have never exceeded a three mill levy plus the license and fine money. Now I believe our hoard shou'.d bu granted a liberal mm to creditably carry on our schools: that tLey should nol be hampered iu trie ir work by the continual fear of a largo deficit, and be hounded bv the continual cry cf incompetencV) extravagance, mismanagement and like euphonious terms. I think the question of finances or the proper amount of funds for the purpose of education is easy enough of solution. First, Let all taxable property be given a reasonable valuation Instead of the ludicrous values they receive by the present method of assessment. Second, Let all farm property (1. e., all vacant land not platted into lots) within the limits of the city be assessed as city property, and not as farm lands. Third, Let all church property be taxed except that whereon stands the church edifice, and this increase in valuation will to increase the sum of money that we may not hesitate to ask for a three, four or five mill levy, or even greater, and have a sufficient fund to carry on our schools creditably with out that exasperating cry of the great deficit that is always staring the board in the face, and that is to be aaded to the already existing deficit. We sometimes hear it said that our schools are Godless that they are im moral. Now, 1 do not think they are entirely Godless, neither greatly im moral, from the fact that we have so many noble christian and moral women wno cannot help exerting their Influ ence for God and right. Yet in a cer tain sense they are immoral. Just so far as our schools accept blood money to carry them on, so far they are im moral; just so far are they contrary to conscience and divine law. "Blessed is the man that condemeth not himself in the things which he alloweth." There are many good men and women who stand condemned before God be cause they allow evils to exist which, by exertion on their part, might be eradicated. Holy writ tells us that the price of a dog or the hire of a whore is an abom--....-. un.0 ihe Lonh I remember call atter .... , t v n,,. msre child of hearing my ear rBoiher quote these words, and al though 1 did not then fully understand their meaning, they made a deep im pression on my mind, wh!';h has re mained with me all my life. What God has cursed, let not man dare est.'' to perform. This is a time for action. This is a time for christians to pray and work. It is humiliating to the band of nobie men and women who have charge of our educational work to realize that their daily bread is dependent in a measure on means obtained from such sources. It is humiliating to conscien tious, christian mothers to know that their innoaent children are to be edu cated with such money. It is humiliat ing to christians to see such heinous offenses winked at by those high in authority, and who have the power to mitigate the evils, if not exterminate them. Therefore, I call upon christian and moral people to arouse from their leth argy to act "act in the living pres ent." For tho sake of mothers who have children to educate; for the sake of the noble teachers who are develop ing those tender minds; for the sake of our grand educational system our pub lic schools; for the sake of God, let us purge our school system from the blight that has so long fastened itself .upon it. I call upon the board of education to stand firm for right and justice, know ing you will have the approbation of God, a clear conscience and the people who asked you to care for our schools. I call upon the legislature to listen to the voice of the people and cause such action to be taken as shall be an honor to our state and schools. When such action is taken, it will be one step in a much needed reform; then ive will be ready for another. May God help us all to 'Strike 'nil lh" la-l "trtiirJ fi "'.rf.

HinOe, which should have ' par ed the bme, p-rtaii.ing to the: es'aVUhim-niof eommi.wumer of char- i'.an'e institution, was KUicil hy a mot ion by Mr. Morane, of St. Jeph, M i., in iMiiuiction with a motion by Mr. Davis, of TtiiK') county, to taMe the motion. Much s'ren sentiment against the "cincli'' ni. ihod of killing the bill is being expressed by many members, and it i- likely that a substi tute bill will he drafted and presented. Moran and D.ivis are aspirants for hight r ofticcs in the public gift, and have thus placed themselves on record. The bill ri ads as follows: An Act to provide for the upjMiiritnK'iit of commissioners of chariianle insti tutions, and proceedings therefore, in cities now or hereafter organized under sjiecial charters by virtue of wction Irj, article fi, of the Constitu lion of the State ol Missouri, lie it enacted by the genera! assembly of the state of Missouri as follows: Section 1. Every city now or here after organized under special charter by virtue of section Id of article 9 of the constitution of this state, shall establish a board of commissioners of charitable institutions, which board shall consist of five members. Sec. The mayor shall upHiat a board of live commissioner ou charit able institutions, w ho shall hold their otlices for a term equal in duration to the term prescribed for the ollice of mayor in tne city where they shall per forin their duties, and until their suc cessors shall have been duly appointed and qualified. See, 3. All the commissioners shall possess the following qualifications: They shall have been citizens of tne United States and ot such city for at least two years previous to tneir ap pointment, and shall be able to read and write the English language. They shall not at the time of tneir appoint ment be in arrears to the city for taxes, or indebted to tno city in any way. They shall not be interested either directly or indirectly in any contract with the city, either for work to ue performed or supplies to be furnished Sec, 4. The commissioners on chant able institutions shall have a general visitorial supervision over all penal and charitable Institutions in the city. They snail have power, by a unanimous vote, to remove any appointed officer or employe of all penal and cbaritaole institutions supported wholly or in part by the city, and shall, in case of such removal, notify the mayor and request him U till the vacancy. The mayor shall have no power to reappoint any person removed by the commissioners. Sec, 6. The cumtmssiouers shall meet at least once in each month at their ollice in the city hall, and shall visit ad tue Institutions under their supervision at least once in each month. Xuey shall recommend to tne council such ordinances as they may deem nee essaiy lor the wehure of tue persons under their supervision and in the in terest ot the city.

'Ihe mayor ohail have the power of rtuiKVHij; a commissioner So eieclej as 11 lie liaU Di.en appointed by tne mayor. Sec. T. Tne provisions ol this act shau ap-ly to ail ci.les orgauized under special charters by virtue of section 10 oi article 9 of the constitution ot this state, any provisions in any such charter to the contrary notwithstanding. Se. S. ah acts and parts ol acts in cuuliict with this act are hereoy re pealed. "The American Protective Associa tion was ignominiously routed today in its first effort t j force legislation, and, with 33 members either absent or dodg ing the issue, could only show a total strength of 40 in the house. There was no mistaking the issus,'' says the St. Louis Jiepublic. "Harry H. Hinde, of Kansas City, editor of The American, the official organ uf the A. P. A. in this state, had introduced a Dill provid ing for the appointment of a board of commissioners in all cities of the state, to be appointed by the mayors, and have control of all charitable institu tions. In St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph there are Lumerous institu tions controlled by theCatholic church, more especially those controlled by the Sisters of Mercy and Sisters of the Good Shepherd, who would come under the provisions of the act and be con trolled by the board. The bill had been reported favorably by the com mittee on eleemosynary institutions, and came up for engrossment." Mr. Moran, of St. Joseph, in a cross fire of the questions directed to the author of the bill, sought to force the confession that it was for the purpose of controlling Catholic institutions. Hinde denied that his bill was aimed at any religious denomination, but offered no explanation as to its purose. Moran moved to strike out everything after the enacting clause, and made a tiery speech in support of his motion, denouncing the bill as an effort to wrest the government of charitable in stitutions from the Catholic women, who controlled them. Davis, of Taney, moved to lay the amendment on the table, and as this would table the t ntire bill, Moran tec or.dcd '.he motion. Hinde was detcrniinid to place the u.emtK r on record, and demauded thij yeas and nays. The 40 m. iu'ht who voted against the motion to lay on the table were: Atkir.s, Uerner, Hot, lknirii, liright, t'pe. Chcrringum, Coppe.lge, Carrel!, Davidson, Davis of Wayne, Dciisl ', Kdgar, llainiuni.d, Haiiio.k, llitfbee, Hinde, Jnhuslon, Joui of Hickory, Joms of Jackson, Jiiiii of Polk.

Erdelyl, editor of the Anuriaut Uuitnl, the organ ot the Hungarians in Amer ica, w ho died at his home in this city lat Saturday, was refused a burial by the Roman Catholic church. At the funeral, which was held today, the widow snatched the crueiiix from the hands of her dead husband rud cast it upon the Hour, following that action by bitterly denouncing the church to wh ich she and her husband had long belonged. Gustuf Lrdelyi had for many years been tho leader of tho Hungarian ele ment in this city, and was a man of most advanced ideas. He was a prom inent member of the freemasons and was a devout Catholic, or at least hud been up to a very short time before his death. After the death, Mrs. Erdelyi made preparations for the funeral, but, much to her surp-ise, was told by the priest of the church whertJ she wor shiped that as her husband had nut received confession he could not be buried from the church or in conse crated ground. Upon hearing this the poor woman was nearly frenzied with grief. She appealed, it is Baid, to Archbishop Corrigan, who gave her no relief, and at last she was forced to seek a minister of the Protestant relig' ion to perform the last rites over the body of the man she had loved. The Masons desired to take charge of the funeral, but Mrs. Erdelyi desired the services to be conducted by a minister, and so Rev. John V. Debins was called in. The scene at the funeral was a most affecting one. Mrs. Erdevi, still cling ing to the Roman Catholic fuith, in which she had been strong since child hood, had placed a crucifix within the hands of her dead husband. But when she came to take the last look there was a revulsion uf feeling, and witli a scream of mingled anger and grief she snatched the crucifix from the stiffened fingers and hurled it to the floor. Then she seemed to lose all control of herself, and placing her heel upon the sacred object tried to griend it to frag ments. Failing in this, she broke forth into the most bitter denunciation of the Roman church and of ell those who are its servants. No longer was the pope a sacred personage in her eyes, and the archbishop came in for a full share of her censure. The denunciation was so terrible th.it many burried from ttie building rather than listen to it. and those who re mained closed their ears. Rev. M. Debins did his utmost to quiet the wo man, but for a time this was impossible, and entreaties seemel only to further increase her frenzy. At last, however, she was prevailed upon to be led from the room and the ceremonies were con cluded without further incident. Tonight Mrs. Erdelyi is quite pros trated, and it is feared that her reason may leave her, never to return. At times she is quiet, and then breaks out denouncing the church as the did at the funeral for not according the body of her husband the burial desired. Her physician forbade her being seen by any but her most intimate friends. An at tempt was made to secure an explana tion from the church authorities, but none of them would discuss the matter for a moment. Those Hungarians who are not devout in their Romanism are nearly as hitter in their denunciations as Mrs. Erdelyi, who seems to have a host of personal friends.

HAVING investigated this Horse and Cattle Food, and having become convinced that it was superior to any preparation on the market today, I have consented to take the general agency for the Middle and Western States. It is now being used by many of the leading horse and cattle men, some of whom testify to its worth and money-saving qualities. Among the number who have endorsed it may be mentioned: Robert Bonner, Esq., of the New York Ledger; William Lockhart, Esq., Veterinery Surgeon; Dan Mace, the famous trainer and driver, and II. E.
