President MnrpUer Prcdorlbcs n Illchnr Wool Tariff. Cou-'stntM , O. , March 0. President Morp- stcr of the Ohio Wool Growers' association has Issued n lengthy addrcas to the Wool growers of the state nnd nation In which ho says there has been no time in thirty years when thn farmers have suffered so much from low prices for farm products as now. Ho explains the cause of this condition nnd says : "Tho object of this address Is to ask the farmers of the country to up- pent to thn president to put n speedy end to the monstrous frauds now being perpetrated In Importing wool , and an nppcal to our mombnrs In congress to nld In the same work and to speedily pass a wool tariff law that will givoaho wool manufacturers nnd wool growers the exclusive privilege of supplying all the woolen goods and nil the wool required for use In the United States. Considerable space Is devoted to al leged frauds In the Importation of woo ) , and hu says : "If these frauds nnd this low rnto of duty continues , imports will lareoly in crease. There were imports of 00.000,000 pounds last year , mostly of scoured wool , equivalent tout least 160,000,000 unwashed , equal to one-fourth of nil wool consumed in the United States. This is practically free wool , and unless the duty Is increased those Imports will be largely increased and will destroy ourjAmcricnn wool Industry. " Ho concluiies as follows : "This address is deemed proper In view of the fuct that It Is not generally known that persistent efforts are being made to secure just und ample pro tection for manufacturers , but to deny the same mcusuro of protection for farmers.

The charges made by Alderman Ford concerning the frightful condition of the prisoners confined in the workhouse are found to bo true. Two reporters of the Times investigated the mat ter yesterday and found about sovonty-livo male prisoners crowded into narrow ana filthy cells , reeking with vermin and not provided with sanitary regulations. 'Iho men were constantly manacled with shackles weighing from , live to thirteen pounds and were therefore prevented from bathing. For these seventy ! tlvo prisoners there uro but two guards. The guards say thnt on ac count ot the depornto character of the men it is necessary to shackle them to prevent their escape.

The following Is Ilabbl Uosouau's lecture at the Temple of Israel : Several of the ancient Grenk and Latin writers who have by their works preserved for posterity their people's mythology , relate - late how , upon Mount Cithaoron , in Uocotia , a certain Aktacou , who was passionately devoted to the chase , was ono day suddenly changed into n stag by the goddess Diana , nnd soon aftnr the transformation devoured by his hounas. This interesting fable has , like many others of ito kind , become rich food for the artist's imagination. Tlioso of you who have over aeon a picture of the Il lustrious hunter and his dire fate will remember - member it as having boon brought before you ia the following group : In the center is a youth , a veritable specimen of Ideal manhood , who Is beautiful and majestic in appearance , high and robust in stature. His countenance manifests the look of great anxiety , his attitude tbo position of un daunted self-defense. On each side of him is a dog , eager to tear him into shreds. The ono at the loft has , as It seems , just been beaten back , looking , however , in no degree discouraged , but rather inspired to bosin the attack anew. The ono at the right is just making u bound with such great violence as If determined to overpower his prey now for all time to come. Wo have bore stated this pretty fable nnd described the accompanying picture , not because - cause wo recognized their oxceDtionally fan ciful character and the lofty ingenuity of tno poet and artist In whoso mind they were re spectively conceived , but because wo dis covered that the figures brought before our view and their relations toward ono another might , under present conditions , bo given an interrelation whch ] would prove itself of the greatest intorcstjo the citizens of our country. Aktaopn , the attractive , the fad- natlnu' , the enchanting , might bo considered as representing our government , tolnrant , liberal and IndOpbh'tlont. The hounds once helpful in the chase ] but afterwards attackIng - Ing the celobrutcdihuntor , can bo made sym bolical of the laws that In the past gained a reputation frfr our government and which would , If Wmonded by the Ululr national Sunday"hhd educational bills event ually rob it of tlieisamo. In giving this ono explanation let up.sincerely . trust that the Aktiicon of the praaent. may not llko unto him of the fall bo compelled to battle by himself against his enemies und finally suc- comb , but that ho'mAy ' bo surrounded by a host of firm friends and supporters , who will aid him in tinning the tables and thus gain for him tjooVlctory. } And not only should wo hopoforbut , wo should also exert ourselves in accomplishing this end. Every where in the Uuitcdbtatos this is being doiiBj and too'm'ust"thorj.orc be Up nnd doing. What the dangers 'to bo expected from the Institution of u national Sunday are we have already sliown at length , and therefore wo havo'no"doubt that hero in our midst , too , it will meet with great opposition. It remains for us yet to give warning of the evils which the second foe of our government , namely , tbo " educational bill , can ac complish. Before proceeding to point out the harm that would result from its adoption , lot us first make a review of it as it.reads , so that we can get u clearer nnd more definite idea of what is proposed oy it and why wo should raise our voice against It. > It reads something , like this : "Resolved by the seuuto and house of represeuativos of the United States , two-thirds of each house concurring , that the following amendment Is hereby proposed to the states , to * become valid when ratified by the legislature of throe-fourths of the states as provided m the constitution. "That uostato shall ever make or maintain any law respecting an .establishment . of re ligion or prohibiting the free exercise there of. Again that each state shall establish ana maintain a free system of public scnools for the education of children between tbo ages of six and sixteen in the common branches of learning , m virtue and morality and in tke knowledge of the fundamental and non-sectarian principles bf Christianity. On the other hand again , no money shall bo appro priated for the maintenance of schools whore the ceremonials and doctrines of any special creed are taught. Again , in order that each state , the United States and ail people there of may have nnd preserve republican forms of Government , the United States shall guarantee to every state and its people the support and maintenance of such systems of free public schools as are herein provided. When wo road this amendment we feel ns though no man could protest loud enough against its acceptance. Ono and all can very easily see that it provides for something to bo advocated and enforced by our constitu tion , which Is diametrically opposed to Its glorious spirit. When those who formulated the laws unon which the majestic structure of our government wan to bo founded , do- elded that it should bo non-sectarian in Its character , demanding of men allegiance to no other but the broad nnd universal faith ot humanism , they they did so for reasons which they know were commendable and Just , and would for certain result In the blessedness of the coun try nnd ita Inhabitants. Their expectations were happily realized In the fullest measure. Gtinoratinns of auccosaors assumed control of the ship of state , noticed the success of their fathers under the new order of things , recognized the Inudabio nature of the mo tives that prompted its introduction nnd promised uninterrupted continuance. And what they so solUmlily avowed they dm. What the reasons fonitho establishment of such a governtnuntlfas ours were , ought never escape our me'jiory , and lea.it of all the memory of the o who are charged with the responsibility of looking to the prosper ity , happiness auaVjuilltlcatiou of the for mer. Do waver apparunt tbo necessity of bearing these rciisunsnvor In mind may bo there are novertltblu'ss many who act as though they had IduUrcly forgotten them. Senator Ulalr \ 'and his followers can bo coi'm.t d among these , Let us direct alliiitr attention to them for a few moments , andtovon if wo do not suc ceed in convlnolng'Seh'aior Blair himself , wo shall at least r"ofrj J'rour ( own memory und thus come to declqpj'.purselves staunch op- poneuts to his rollwjus movements. Ono of the roi ous why tbo covorntnent was kept altogether separated from any special religion , is , , tl o recognition on the part of the fathers oj our country of tbo In justice which they would thus perpetrate against many of the rollulons. They took Into consideration that devotees of alt possi ble creeds under tbo sun. Christians and Jews , agnoHtlcs and ethical oulturisu , and many more , helped by the the payment of taxes In supporting the country. Hence the endorsement und inculcation of the urinal- pies und doctrines of any ono denomination would bo an act of favoritism to those pro fessing that denomination and an exaction of unfair concussion from those of other religious conviction ) . Having tbo n.uno standard of riuht und wrong In governmental legislation today us in thn earlier duyg of our republic's exist ence , wo mu t conclude that what was jus. tlco then is justice now. what was imposition then la imposition now. Another reason that l4d to the vouarutlon ot government and religion U the high re spect our fathers dcvlred to Infuse into the child toward the parent and teacher. They were perfectly nwaro of the fact that different ont conditions Involved a naertlleo of und es teem toward ono or the other. All fathers and mothrn generally try to u o their Influ ence In retaining their offspring In the fold of that creed to which they thomsolvca bo- long. In order to do this they expound to them the doctrines peculiar to their faith. II now the child was to go into the school am ! have the Inllucnco of the teacher brought upon 11 , for the promulgation ot n different denomination , the authority of either teacher or parent would bo compelled to wane , just ns soon us teachings clash. II our country wants to raise young men nnd women , honoring their parents nnd their teacher. } , then lot It , keep religion out of the public schools. Another reason for the separation of the government from religion is the wish of the llrst legislators ot our land to Oncourngo In dependence of thought and speculation. A union between the two would bo adverse to any sued freedom of mind. The tutor in structing in u fixed national religion would bo chained down to that , which is truth In the eyes of the majority , whereas ho or nho would full to bo able to regard it such. The child. too , would bo chocked In Us mental development , not being permitted to doubl or question. If it is the object of our land to bo recognized among those encouraging freedom of speech , nnd freedom of thought , then lot it kocp religion out , of the uublfu schools. Another reason why the fathers of our country kept the government , entirely separate from religion , has Its origin in the lesson they learned from the sud experience of those lands whore such union was al lowed. The terrible results that followed upon the enforcement of the doctrines laid down at the council of Utiea In the year 325 of the Christian era scorn to Imvo been GO apualllng that their remembrance , llko Bnnqus' ghost in Macbeth , can not bo downed , but will continue to haunt humanity until the very cud of t'mo. ' Ask history for the cause that polluted the streets of cities with rivers of human gore nnd you will re ceive the answer , "It was the union of church and state.1' ' Ask history for the cause that made the sky lurid with the light omitted by life-con suming pyres , nnd you will receive answer , "It was the union of the church and state. " Ask history for the cause of the astounding ignorance , bigotry , oppression nnd persecution that characterize tbo dark and middle ages and you will receive the answer : "It was the union of church nnd state. " If wo desire none of these atrocities and cruelties in our land of tno free , then wo must not allow the church and the state to unite under any circumstances , but keep each In its respective sphere of entirety and usefulness. The state must urotcct and can protect the lifo , property and liberty of its citizens , whllo looking to tbo church for assistance. The church must make and can make men right-thinking , right-acting , right-living without calling upon the state for help. What wo have hero remarked Is the sentiment of the most cele brated statesmen. Macauloy In his criticism of Gladstone's ' -Church ana State. " remarks : "JL'bat no government should press upon , the people religious Instruction , in us much as it might produce discontent daugdrous to public order. " General U. S. Grant gives the advlco : "To leave matters of religion to the family altar , the church und the private school. " Lot our public schools remain as they are , imparting nil branches of learning but relig ion , and you can rest assured that much of that which is to bo feared from the introduc tion of "non-sectarian Christianity" In cur ricula can bo avoided. Lut all , Irrespective of creed , take u firm stand against the two bills by signing petitions to bo circulated , in oruor to prevent their passage , and wo are certain thut our country will bo ns glorious as it has ever boon , and will provo itself netlike like the Aktacn of the fable , the van quished but the victor. A TUKJUHM ; DOSE. Alilttle llrtby Nearly Killed by Katlne Concentrated Ijye. The little one-year-old daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs. d Hamilton was badly burned with concentrated lye last evening. The little child was sitting In the middle of the floor and , while the attention of the parents wero. attracted by soniothinc on the street , a five-year-old brother pushed the chair 'and baby up to a window on the sill of which was a box of lye. Babylike , the child grabbed the box and put the poison to Its mouth. As soon as the burning stuff touched its mouth the baby screamed with pain. Mrs. Hamilton at ouco discerned the cause of the screaming nnd extracted a good-sized piece of the lye from the baby's mouth. A Dhysician was summoned at once and administered u soothing liniment and an opiate. Ho was of the opinion that little if any of tbo polxon hud passed Into the stomach , but said the utmost care was necessary to prevent the quantity which had been taken into the mouth from having u fatal effect. The little fuiffnror was soon at the Hamil ton residence , on the southeast corner of Fourteenth and Dorcas streets , last night , and It presented n pitiable sight. The little mouth ana tongue were burned und black ened with the poison , and at times moans of pain wore emitted , showing the sufferings of tbo baby. . AMUSEMENTS.

He is never so happy iis when lie is in a hoiibi ; get-up ol flannels in which ho thinks his figure shows to good advantage.

If hols boarded like the pant he _ quivers with delight at being told ho is manly looking. If lias a few straggly hairs on his chin ho likes a woman to emphasr/o the fact that it is aristocratic not to have much hair on you and Unit it would make him a great catch in Japan.
