It is no impeachment of a man’s religious sincerity or patriotism for him to believe our public school system to be based on a false principle that leads to the gravest evils im the body politic. Many earnest Protestants of various denominations hold to that view. It is not religious bias in the sectarian sense that impels them to this belief, but the conviction that a system of Godless education is sure, sooner or later, to sap the moral! fibre of a people and destroy the higher ideals embodied in religious truth. Sach may be mistaken—we believe they are—but they have a moral and legal right to their opinions and their sincerity is pot open to question, At any rate, it does no good to either the cause of Christianity or education to import the public schools into the realm of sectarian polemics, Besides, the “assumption that every time a Roman cleric expresses himself with respect to a secular question he speaks ex-cathedra for the charch as a whole is erroneous and misleading.

But the statistics issued by the Department of Agriculture and the Census Bureau tell another story. The farmer has not lost his shrewdness, nor has his boy. The fact is that the farm is on the increase in number, as it unquestionably is in the richness of its products. In 1870 there were 2,001,293 farms in the United States, According to the last census there were 6,789,000 in 1900. The advance in the value of the farm products was from a fraction less than $2,000,000,000 ig 1870 to $3,764,000,000 io 1900. In 1870 there were 5,888,987 persons engaged in farming, while in 1900 the number had grown to 10,483,000. The multiplication of labor saving machinery on the farm has bad much to do with sending some farm hande to the city in search of other character of employment, bat the tarm continues to increase in number and the value of the farm products with it.

Gage, one of the owners in the Posey mine near this city, and well known here, having visited with us on several occasions, is now in the Hawaiian Islands, and enjoying himself immensely. In a letter to a friend in this city he eays he will return to California some time in June, and he will then come to Nevada City on a visit. Tbe Commercial Advertiser of Honoluln of May 2d contained the folltowing account of a pleasing little episode that happened in the islands. inwhich Mr. Gage was the central figare: “The Hawaiians in and about Wai, ala were the victims of a practical joke about a week ago when Governor Carter and a large and prominent gatherig of local and mainland guests were epjoying the hospitality of Haleiwa hotel. Among the guests were Archie McKillop, the traveling man, and W. 8. Gage, the latter being. the representative here protem of the Gage Lamber Company of Oalifornia. “Gage found a comfortable and quiet corner on the lani away trom the general crowd, which -was having a good time. A number of Hawaiians were loitering about and the overworkei brain of McKillop suggested a joke. Governor Oarter had had his innings ae the central figure for some group of natives and said: “Did you know that ex-Governor Gage of California is here?” Everybody answered in the negative. ‘Well, he’s right here in the hotel,” and some suggesting that they be permitted to gaze on the great man, MeKillop led the way to Gage’s corner. Gage was somewhat surprised to see such a large crowd at McKillop’s heels, bat in a moment was apprised of the visit. ‘Gentlemen, permit me to introduce you to ex-Governor Gage.” “Everybody kow-towed, Gage responded gracefully and failed to deny the soft impeachment. Gage gave one forlorn glance at McKillop, but the latter only suggested that perhaps everybody was dry. It cost Gage $10 for the round. Gage does not carry about with him the appearance of a Governor, but there’s everything in a neme, and his popalarity and ex greatness remained unquestioned, “Gag-’s one long suit is his clothes He affects a style peculisriy his own. Checked suits, white shoes, cross-barred ties and the most wonderful dreams in vests are his hobby. dia vests in fact, talk loudly, and as he owns about two dozen odd fancies in waistcoate, his friends are treated toa kaleidoscodic array during the sixteen to eighteen hours which comprise the -ex-Governor’s’ day. Like his vests, Gage bimeelf is a rapid-fire talker on lines suggested by George Ade’s fables.” Good Show Coming. The popular company headed b° Frank Cooley and Gladys Kingsbary, which is playing to crowded houses nightly, will begin a week’s engage ment at the Nevada Theater next Monday evening. This organization comes highly recommended by press and people, and the plays produced are new and higbly entertaining. ‘Chere is comedy throughout the plays to be given, and for a bad case of blues any of the performances will drive them away. ‘A Bachelor's Honey moon” is “It.” The pretty comeds, “A Daughter of Dixte,” is on the program for Monday night. To New Position. J. W. Petty, the genial and popular mixologist at the Owl saloon, will take a position at the Hotel Actlers bar on June lst. He hes mede many friends during his residence in this city, being well adapted to dealing with the public ip his lice of trade. ShouldStay Home Some good people from Massachusette are carrying on missionary work at Oalhoun, Lowndes county, Alabama, forty miles soath of Montgomery. Forge'ful of the great need of missionary work within ten miles of the dome of their own State House, they are seeking religious and social regeneration far from home. To this end they are helping people to become land owners and living in their own houses cease paying rent. This isa kind of helpful socialism which strikes most people as practival, and is one of the strong points of the Mormon work is right at home. +e For a good cool, sharp glase of t« er eoll at Wm.

About 12:80 o’clock last night the saloon of Lewis W. Evane at North San Juan was entered by burglare and $1588 in cash taken, beside a quantity of liquor and several elgars. Entrance was effected by prying open the iron door in the rear of the building with the aid of a crowbar and heavy sledge:hammer. After getting on the inside the burglars, of whom there is thought to have been two, pr ed at once to work. They first tarned their atten tion to the safe, which was a small, old fashioned affair. The thieves inserted a hatchet in the crack of the door and worked with this instrament antil an opening was made sufficiently large to admit of inserting the point of a crow bar. Bringing the sledge hammer into use again. the door was soon forced off and the burglars had free access to the coin on the inside. From the safe they secured $1500, Their attention was then directed to the till which they opened and took therefrom about $88 in coin of various denominations, Considerable liquor and several cigars were also appropriated by the thieves, who evidently believed in having a bracer after their bard night’s work. When Mr. Evang opened the saloon for business this morning he was dumbfounded upon discovering the robbery and seeing the wrecked safe, He lost no time in notifying Constable Northup of that township, who went to the store immediately and after searching arouod the store, the conclusion was come to that the guilty parties were familiar with the premises. In company with several citizens, Constable Northup tracked the robbers several handred yards toa point back of Northup’s barn, where they had stopped and removed from their feet pieces of blanket which they had used to disguise their tracks and two pair of old socks, which the officer found. From appearances the parties then continued on their way toward Sweetland. The sledge hammer and crowbar with which the work was done were stolen from Sooy’s blacksmith shop, which the thieves broke into. A party residing next door to Mr. Evans’ saloon heard tie hammering about 12:30 o’elock and by this the time of robbery is fixed. A man going by the saloon on horeeback aboat this time saw a light inside and thought that Mr. Evans was in there, A telephone was sent to the Sheriff's office and Deputy Sheriffs T. H. Waters and John Martin left for North San Juan immediately. Sheriff H. R. Walker was out of town, having left ‘on the early train this morning for Folsom with Louis Quayer. Fine Belts and Hat Bands.

About 12:80 o’clock last night the saloon of Lewis W. Evane at North San Juan was entered by burglare and $1588 in cash taken, beside a quantity of liquor and several elgars. Entrance was effected by prying open the iron door in the rear of the building with the aid of a crowbar and heavy sledge:hammer. After getting on the inside the burglars, of whom there is thought to have been two, pr ed at once to work. They first tarned their atten tion to the safe, which was a small, old fashioned affair. The thieves inserted a hatchet in the crack of the door and worked with this instrament antil an opening was made sufficiently large to admit of inserting the point of a crow bar. Bringing the sledge hammer into use again. the door was soon forced off and the burglars had free access to the coin on the inside. From the safe they secured $1500, Their attention was then directed to the till which they opened and took therefrom about $88 in coin of various denominations, Considerable liquor and several cigars were also appropriated by the thieves, who evidently believed in having a bracer after their bard night’s work. When Mr. Evang opened the saloon for business this morning he was dumbfounded upon discovering the robbery and seeing the wrecked safe, He lost no time in notifying Constable Northup of that township, who went to the store immediately and after searching arouod the store, the conclusion was come to that the guilty parties were familiar with the premises. In company with several citizens, Constable Northup tracked the robbers several handred yards toa point back of Northup’s barn, where they had stopped and removed from their feet pieces of blanket which they had used to disguise their tracks and two pair of old socks, which the officer found. From appearances the parties then continued on their way toward Sweetland. The sledge hammer and crowbar with which the work was done were stolen from Sooy’s blacksmith shop, which the thieves broke into. A party residing next door to Mr. Evans’ saloon heard tie hammering about 12:30 o’elock and by this the time of robbery is fixed. A man going by the saloon on horeeback aboat this time saw a light inside and thought that Mr. Evans was in there, A telephone was sent to the Sheriff's office and Deputy Sheriffs T. H. Waters and John Martin left for North San Juan immediately. Sheriff H. R. Walker was out of town, having left ‘on the early train this morning for Folsom with Louis Quayer. Fine Belts and Hat Bands.
