Kcv. T. J. Maekar , rector of All Saints church , prpnclieil laiit night on "The I'rot- oRtmit Episcopal Church anil American In stitutions , " He Raid : Tl.at the Protestant Episcopal church In the United States cannot afford to ho n llent factor In the work of h'Uldlng and con trolling the Influence ) ) that make for right eousness In this land Is evident from liar filstory and organization. Coining Into ex istence at a time coincident with the birth of our nation , her history IH part of the imtlcm'H history , her progress Is hound up with the growth of the nation. As Utahop J'trry of Iowa observes , "Tho American clairch In this land waa organized as an In- ( kpcndcnt branch of the church of Christ by the united action of clergymen who wcro patriots during the war and by laymen who wire foremost , both In the halls of congress and on the fields of battle , In u Inning our freedom. " The Protestant Uplscopal church owes a debt of gratitude to her English mother for her fostering cure and protection , but her relations to that church were sev ered at the founding of this Independent branch of the church catholic as completely as the revolution severed the relations of this country to England by the declaration of Independence. COMPLETE IN' ITSELF. The Independence of this church from all alien powers and potentates Is as much a fact of history as Is the Independence of our beloved land. We have a prayer book of oiir own and a history of our own. Our constitution and canons arc American , not English. Our whole government as a church Is "distinctively American In the minutest details of Its economy and organization. " In nil affairs of state , In literature and na- tlcnnl culture this American church has always berne a leading part , and wo point with prldo today to Washington and Krank- lln , Montgomery and the gallant Mercer , Patrick Henry and Plnckncy , Jefferson , Madison , Monroe , Tyler , Harrison , Iln- cliannn and Arthur , Washington Irving and Kenlrnoro Cooper , Hamilton and "Madison , Mitchell and Lowell , as bright stars In our galaxy of great men .In. statecraft and liter ature , all of whom and many more llko them were members of this church. As a church we have no reason to be ashamed of our history , and In the effort being made In certain quarters to Ignore our American origin and character there Is Just cause for nlarm on the part of every true American churchman. The author , whom I have quoted , says" : " "Tho preface to our prayer book reminds us that ecclesiastical our independence was secured by the same struggle through which oiir civil Independence was attained. " What Is American Is what must engage our best sympathies and enlist our heartiest sun- port. port.Tho The church owes a duty to the nation which Is second only to her duty to God. As a church thcro can be no Interest In the state unworthy of our care and closest scrutiny. We should cease thinking that as n church we have nothing to do with the state. As a speaker In a recent meeting of the Church club of New York said : "Wo Hhoiild go Into politics not only for the welfare'.of the state and of ourselves as In dividuals , but for the welfare of the church. " AVo.nu.'st , . .as ap J 'trch , exercise eternal v/gllancef / ! rt protecting our national Institu tions trom the encroachments of any power , ecclesiastical or otherwise. Our public schools , as the greatest safeguard from the dangers arising from our rapidly In creasing foreign population , should receive the hearty support of every man who has the Interest of his country at heart. They may not be perfect , but until something better Is devised no churchman can afford to condemn them , or strive by any means to weaken or destroy their usefulness. We must oppose every attempt to divert our public school fund for sectarian education , UD Judge Arnoux of Now York says : "To do so would bo to overturn the fundamental principles of our government. We are founded as a nation upon resistance to un just taxation , and It would bo unjust taxa tion to hand over the money of the Rtate to any religious body for the purpose of educating any portion of the children of the state In any particular tenet of re ligion. " That wo are not free from this danger In evident to the careful student of current history. Already large sums of money arc being taken from the public treasury of various states for the support of purely hcctarlan Institutions. During the ten years between 1884 and ISO ! the following sums liavo been given from the taxation and general fund of the city of Now York for the support of the various Institutions : To Homan Catholic Institutions , $5,526.73:1.31 : ; to I'rotestant Institutions , $365,11T7.31 ; to Hebrew Institutions , $908,53-1.70. From an other fund In the same city ( the excise fund ) during the month of August , 1593 , the fol lowing appropriations \\ero made : To Ho- inan Catholic Institutions , $ : 0SS9.-I3 ; to Prot estant Institutions , $3,105.-I3 ; to Hebrew In- Htltutlons , $3,100. SIXTEENTH AMENDMENT NECESSARY. What docs this show save that the money of the state Is being used to build up one religious body at the expense of all the rest ? I have no prejudices against the church of Homo save that It Is an exotic , owning al legiance to a foreign potentate. I bcllovo that the great bulk of Its people are pa triotic Americans and I have no fear of that church In a fair , open contest for the su premacy In this laud , but her greed for pub lic money 1ms grown HO great , and the am bition of her hierarchy so overreaching , that some steps must bo taken to check the one and defeat the other. The proposed six teenth amendment to the constitution has bccoma a necessity. It reads as follows : "No stuto shall pais any law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free cxerclso thereof , or usn Its property or credit , or any money raised by taxation , or authorize tltlier to bo used for the pur pose of founding , maintaining or aiding , by appropriation , payment for services , ex penses or otherwise , any church , religious denomination or rollglouj society or under taking which Is wholly or In part under sectarian or ecclesfastltal control. " With laudable pride can we point to the fact that our own church , through her bishops , has addressed a coimnunlcat'on to both houses of congress asking for the passage of Dili sixteenth amendment uiul re- llmiulshlng all government aid In carrying on our work among the Indians. The com- mlttco of bishops declares that "it Is mani fest that thcro Is widespread and Increas ing dissatisfaction with the letting of con tracts by the United Stalcj government to religious boclctles for the ostensible purpose of educating tha Indians , hut In many In stances , as the last commissioner of Indian n flairs pointed out , 'for the propagation of the particular form of faith held by the church conducting the tcliool,1 the other and main object being 'secondary and remote. ' " jTho committee goes on to declare : "Thor- ijughly convinced that the whole system of government contracts with sectarian In- etltutlons contravenes , the spirit of the amendment to the constitution of the United State * , the Protestant Episcopal church has Jilaced Itself upon record as discounte nancing the receiving of government appro priations , and declines to ask for a con tinuance of such subsidies , though at a great lots to the mission work of the church. " The committee further declares that It takes this action "to assist In emphasizing and perpetuating the entire separation of church and Btttto In these United States of America. " That they will be sustained by the American people la not for a moment open to doubt , and that this may be the beginning of a movement which will result In awakening all thoughtful citizens to the dangers that threaten us from ecclesias tical encroachment let us hope and pray. Wo mint awaken public sentiment on theio questions , which concern us as a church , which concern all Christians , for our loyal bUhops nay , "Your committee Jjcg IWMJ to exprew their strong convic tion that the abandonment of the prcsenl imago In the matter of sectarian approprla tlon * will largely depend upon the awakening and strengthening of n Round public sentl mcnt upon this most Imperative matter ol the absolute and complete dlsasioclatlon of the state from the church , or any religious body claiming to be the church , and that the duty of awakening and deepening such a public sentiment throughout this land Is u foremost , duty of every churchman In bin capacity of a loyal citizen and an honest man. " Under such on appeal wo cannot any longer afford to he silent. "Put none but Americans on guard" should bo our motto In chuich as In state. A for eign born citizen myzclf , I claim that the men who direct our councils and who minis ter at our altars should bo American citi zens , In touch with American civil and political life , and In full and hearty sym pathy with the land which gives to them protection and support. With such a spirit animating our church It must appeal power fully to the English speaking race and en title us to the proud distinction of being the church of the American people. v.u.uifor MiniouiAi. DAY. Her. Trunk Crnno Heiorlbrn the Iiilliienro of tliu InillMillmi. "Memorial Uny , or the Debt We Owe the Soldier , " was the thcmo of the discourse of Ilev. Frank Crane at the First Methodist church last evening. He said In part : It Is fitting that one day In the year should bo solemnly sot apart to the honor of the sol- dler. IJetter than mausoleum of marble or Imago of brass , better than "storied urn or animated bust , " It Is to fix In the customs of the people a holy day that shall nourish their memory till the end of time. From remote- antiquity the glorious deeds of de parted heroes or the great events of the his tory of nations have been handed down moil surely by national holidays. I plead for Memorial day as one of the most Im portant of our national Institutions. It Is Important foIts moral Influence. If on Christmas we laugh with the child , should we not now weep fcr the dead ? It Is better to shed n tear for the dead than to laugh with the living. It Is better In the smil ing spring to turn one lingering look to the tearful past , to weave some chaplet * for the silent dead , to pause one * day In serious reflection , than to listen always to the de lusive hopes of the untried future , forget ful of the admonitions of the experience. Another reason we have for the observ ance of this day Is that It Is needed to con tinually remind usi of the lessons of the war. No man Is more adverse to stirring up old feuds than I. We are at peace. I hope wo always will be. When the dead Grant was carried to his grave , with John ston and Uuchner on one side of the bier , and Sherman and Sheridan on the other , we beheld In that scene the vision of re united brotherhood , of burled hate. I would as tenderly deck the southern grave with the lilies of hope as 1 would plant at the northern tomb the evergreen of fame. Hut It Is not Inconsistent with this righteous sentiment of humane forgiveness to remem ber that the war was 'fought for a purpose. Hoth sides wore equally sincere , llut one was eternally right and the other eternally wrong. I tell you no more righteous con flict was ever waged by the armies of God on the plains of Canaan than this war to crush the rebellion , to uphold the grandest government of history , and to strike the shackles from four millions of slaves. This day , too , should teach us to value our Institutions by recalling what Is cost to preserve them. History can never tell you by Its rows of figures the cost of the war. If you would know Its awful meaning , go fathom the depth of a broken heart , calcu late the degrees of misery In the hopeless watcher who listens for the footsteps that shall never come , measure the length and breadth of 'the young wife's agony whose wealth of love Is suddenly despoiled and she forsaken , count nil the hopes that llo broken and burled beneath the waving mounds by the Ilappuhannock , enumerate the souls that the roar of musketry has hurried Into the " presence of God. Uut yhllo : we honor the soldier let us not'forget our other dead , who fell beside us In the peaceful battle of life. Go , mother , and lay the lilac and the daisy on that spot In "GoJ'H acre" where you planted the little curly-headed treasure that shall ccme up and bloom In the springtime of eternity. .Go , widow , and hang the green garland of Ivy on the cold tablet that llko a specter beckons you to follow your beloved. Stop , child , amid your play , gather a hand ful of blue-eyed violets and , let their modest lip. ; kits the nodding grasses that cover her whose bitterest pang at death was the thcught of leaving you. Go , lover , let the red tulip blush above the upturned face of her whose budding beauty was chilled untimely by the frosts of death. Pause , all humanity , amid your ambition and greed and rivalry and strife , and on this day at least bedew ' tliu fast-withering memories' the departed loved ones with refreshing tears.

CANFIEID ON EDUCATION Address of the State University's Chancellor to Omaha Teachers Last Evening , SCHOOLS HAVE LEVELED UP SOCIETY Clmngo In tha Slnmliiril by Which Mm Are Mcnuirrd I'lillniitliropy AVIns tlio Uruiru Century of < ! rrnt Oppor tunities Opening. Chancellor Canfield of the State univer sity delivered an eloquent mid re IB to a large audience at tlo First Congregational church last night. The Oceanian was a reception tendered him by the teachers of the city , who formed n largo part of the audience. His theme was the Influence of education generally considered. He Illustrated his re marks with entertaining word pictures which Increased the Interest of his auditors. He sought to demonstrate the advancement , morally , socially and commercially , of this generation over all previous generations. In his opening remarks the chancellor said : "Youth Is not perennial. The flowers , birds , seasons and all things pass back , but the Interest In them Is with us and abides with us day by day. Old ago counts Its gray hairs and knows It Is growing stiff , yet It turns back to see what youth Is doing and what It Is going to bring to the world after old age Is gone. Age Is continually noticing the advance of youth , and with almost painful Interest see * the youthful taking up their Inheritance and helping to develop new things. Age looks back at the schools full of young men and women , nearly ready to launch their life's craft. They are anxious for life's battle to begin , looking forward full of energy. Age watches these youths taking possession of the field which It I * now leaving. "These young people ore entering Into the most magnificent century people ever entered. It Is n century In which litera ture and art are having , full play ; a cen tury full of forward movement , crowned with marvelous enthusiasm and filled with an advancement materially and spiritually never before witnessed by any generation. All nations seem to be bound together , and these bonds seem to have conquered all things of the earth and air. Never before In our history has there been HO much genius .displayed. Wo feel that today we stand on now and higher ground , and be fore the present century has passed we will have eclipsed all others. "Plato said that all men must live before they can live wisely or well. In the ancient history handed down to us you will find the pedigrees of kings , but very little will you find about the people , the common people. There you will find a list of the blue-blooded aristocracy , but very little about the people In whoso veins flowed rich , red blood , such as courses In your veins. Yet the people , the uncommonly common people , have mas tered the powers of the air and earth and made them minister to our wants. There Is no history showing the progress made by the people In early times. " The speaker showed the dense Ignorance exhibited by many of the early settlers of this country , and spoke ot the time when women were kept In Ignorance for fear they might como to know too much. "The schools have been the means of leveling up society , " said Chancellor Candeld , "and the deep valleys which were filled with the darkness of Ignorance are now overflowing with the sunshine of Intelligence because of the Influence exerted by our public and private schools. "Men bound down In Ignorance can never "have any strength of character , and unless a man have the soundest of morals ho will hardly ever become known In his age. During " ing this century there has , been a general gaining In strength of character and there is a momentum attached to this movement which will Increase Its speed as time rolls on , and our posterity will reach higher planes than we. "This Is a century of co-operation , men are standing shoulder to shoulder In all things and their hopes nnd ambitions arc Inter woven In a measure. We do not judge men by their power , but by the use they make of their power. There is a purpose , not yet clearly visible to nil men , which is drawIng - Ing them together , but In this concentration they do not lose their Individuality , for there never was a time when men and women thought and acted for themselves as they now do. At no time ban the machinery of social , productive and commercial llfo been so accurately adjusted. It Is not long ago that one man operated and controlled alone great business enterprises , but today It Is practically Impossible to maintain largo busi ness ventures unless your affairs arc open to the world. A business man now has a large force of trusted clerks who have con trol of some particular and Important part of the business. See how men are now com pelled to lean on each other In their com mercial life. "We are changing In all respects the standard by which we measure men , and this Is good evidence that wo are ascending morally. The time was when we measured men by what they possessed. Wo envied them sometimes , but .realized that their en joyments were of o low rank and not lasting. Age today says to youth : I have given largely and freely to you , will you make good use of your Inheritance ? I think the advancement made In science , art and liter ature during this century Is a sufllclnt an swer. The men whom we venerate are those who freely give to , all who come to them the benefit of their wisdom and exper ience. You measure n man socially by what he can Impart to n community , and hereafter we will measure a man not by what he Inherits , unless It bo a clearer eye , a finer fiber , nnd a greater Intellect , but by the manner In which he dispenses his worldly Inheritance for the good and ad vancement of his fellow men. "Endowed with pluck and poverty and the gifts of Godj we send out our youth to do greater things than those which we ac complished. We have lifted generations out of a wilderness of Ignorance and weak ness and placed them on the beaten high way of Intelligence , and hope that they will continue to advance with time. Hut wo must not weary of well iTolng. We must extend to the young and advancing gcuera- : lens our sympathy , and aid them as He on Jlgh aided us. " At the conclusion of the address , Chancel lor Canflcld and Dr. Duryea repaired to the reception room , where the members of the audience were presented to Dr. Duryea's guest. r T.IUo the ( luiitlu Dow from lleiivcn Comes blissful peace to a turbulent , unruly Ivor brought Into subjugation and disciplined with that grand regulator , Hosteller's Stomach ach Illttors , a boon of priceless worth , not only to the bilious , but also to the malarious , the rheumatic , the nervous , the feeble , the constipated , and those whoso kidneys and bladder are Inactive.

Ho said his name was Charles Olcson and. that he recently came to this city. He hnd had some domestic trouble and for the past few days had been drinking hard. He said he was asleep on the river bank and In turning over rolled In. This was contradicted by Charles Ostrnm. a watchman , who said Olcson had a drunken fit and Imagined he was being pursued by snakes. He said Olesun was asleep awhile when he arose , took a drink from a bottle and took a running jump Into the river.
