Ebenbbubo, Aug. Judge Barker filed, in open court to>^y, bis opinJon and decree in the celebrated GallUzin School case, arg;ued before hf 19^in May fast, in-Toiv(og the right of StRers of m. Jo»*TDbt or mttis. to teach in the pubtlc Bobooki.
Judge Barker, ihi a lengthy opinion, states that only law in Penntfvlvauia on the subject is found la Section 3 of arliclo 10 of the constitutino, which,prohibits the appropriation of funds t raised fur the public schools to the support of sectarian schbols established and controlled by some religious j-ect, yet by .ImpHcallaii sectarian inslrqc-tion is probtbtted in public schools and wilt be restrained by the courts which com-
Rlalned of. lie also eonstruos the Bill of ighta in regard to compulsory support of religious worship whici^ is prohibited thereby.
The opinion furtlier questions the wisdom aqd propriety of employing Sisters to teach in the public fecliools in the garb of their Onier, but says that the School Directors are veited with the discretion of making a selection, and that the Courts have no right to interfeie unlesa this clis-crotion be srbilrarily exercised to the detriment of tbe piiVdTc school.
While the directors were iiidiiTercnt 4o t!»e policy of the law to exclude everything sectarian, f^un the public HchoolB, tbe court concludes that in the absence of all evidence of sectarian instruction or influence in the public schools during sciio«>l hours there hss luen Ho arlHlrary exercise of di-crction in sehniting BiaUrs for teach era. The opinion concludes that there is Tiothlng in 4be constitution or laws of thi*< State, or in the deci'<Iona -of any c^qurt in tiie United States, that would warrant the Court in auuoum'ing as an abstract pro position that il was a violation of the law or an Infringement upon the rights of conrcieocC of any oue for membars of the Order of BUters óf 8». Joseph, or any similar order, to tesfck in the public schools in the garh of lite r onier in tbe absence of evidence that sectaiian instruction had been Imparted or sebtarian influence at tempted. , ...

3. Part music and chromatic music is also suited to religions functions, if it be marked by the same characteristics.
4. Part music, the compositions of Pier Luigi da Palestrina and of his faithful imitators, is very worthy of the house of God. As to chromatic music, that is w'orthy of the divine worship which is composed by the great masters of different schools, both Italian and foreign, especially the compositions of those

5. Since a piece of part music, though it m.ay be perfect in itself, may through bad execution become indecorous, ii, ought to be replaced by the Gregorian (hiant in the fmictions of the Churcli when otherwise one is not sure of a happy result.
6. Figured music for the organ

ought generally to be of a sedate and grave tenor as is suited to the nature of that instrument. The accompaniment ought to sustain the chant and not to drown it. In preludes and interludes, the organ and the other instruments ought to pre-
acrvc a sacred ton© suitccl to the
character of the sacred functions.
7. The tongue to be used in chants sung during strictly liturgical functions is the tongue belong-

e retd also that when Dr. Biowiúsoii presentetl himself for instructions to Bl^op Fitzpatrick, of Boston, the latter placed la his hand a child’s catechism and bade him commit it to memory. It seems to us that the best reading for one under iostructions would be books of simple exposition.
Americans as a class are not given to polemic-», and controversy Is of dbubtiul expediency. If a book like Dr. Milnér’» “End of Controversy,, could be revised and modernized, we know of no belter work to pla'ce in the hands of a seeker after truth.
The Churcb as a great objective fact, the living witness of Chrisiiauiiy, is before the inquirer. Her notes or marks áre ! plainly discernible, and Milner’s exposit.on of them, free fioin local and low incleveut coloring, has not been burpasscd ixi the English iangUBge. , ' : .
The popuiarity of ’ Cardinal Gibbous, “Faith of Our Fathers” results not on y from the intrinsic excellence of the book, but from the charming personality of 11 o author. Every body know's or seems to knows the good Cardinal. This elemeu't of personality in a bo >k is often its preservative, juisl as Boswell’s “Lifeof Johusou” will last as long a.s the language.
The wiiter from experience belivt s that the very best book for the inquirer is tl e citechisni, conjoined with oral explanations. The firsi chapter on God some-itmes achieves the work of conversion.
Father Faber says some where that tie
best of meditation books in ilie dry treatise on God wuich we find in our dogmatic theology. Tie contemplation of the Supreme Being by the light of reason aloue wonderfully illuminates the mind and prepares it for divine faith. St. Thomas teaches that the truth of the existence of God, as known to reason, is a preamble cr prtlude to faith.
I Our Americana need only instruction. Few have any of the old world prejudioea against the cuurcfa. Tnej- do no* cmr^ * s raw about the poli ical differences between Orangemen and Catholics, and they imagine that King William was a contem-poiary of Biian Boru. The fact that be was a King is against him in the American mind.
We should point out such parts of tbeir fragmentary belief as are true and infallibly true iu the Catholic system. We must notdi criminately condemn everything la their stct.
De Logo held that material heretics, under circumstances, may have divine faith, inaiimuch as they may hold doctor-iiits on the tradition and presentation of the Ca’h >)ic Church.-■ Nor must we be given to niinimizing. A decayed and aching tooth is little benefited by anodynes.-A convert should never be lelt to say that he did not learn disagreeable truths until after he was received into the Catholic I Chutch.

• Part II.—Instruction for the promotion of the study of sacred music and for the extinction of abuses.
1. Since sacred music is a part of tlie liturgy tbe very Rev. Ordanaries are recommended to make itthe subject, of opportune prescriptions, especially in their diocesan and provincial synods, ever, however, in conformity witli the present regulation. TUie aid of the laymen is allowed under the vigilence and control of the respective Ordinaries. Committees and congresses may not be held without the express permission of the e-elesiastical authorities, which in each diocase is vested in the bishop, and in each prvince in the metropol itan with his suffragans. Periodicals of sacred music may not be published without -tlie imprimatur of tho Ordinary. All discussion upon the articles of tlie present regulation is entirely forbidden. On other points relating to sacred music, discussion is allowable, provided that in it (l) the laws of charily are observed. and (2) that no one set himself up as a master and judge of an other.
2. The Very Reverend Ordinaries shall see that their clerks fulfil tho obligation of studying the plain chant of such a style especially as found in the books approved by the Holy See. As to other kinds of inti sic, and jilaying of the organ they shall lay no obligation on them, iu order not to take their attention a way from the more serious studies to which they are bonnd.

The Arena for September contains a long review of the Chicago Strike of '94. The author dismisJea the malter of li *tH and violence as being merely a matter for the municip 1 and stale authorities to have d« alt w ith under the provisions of ilio statutorx’- criminal law and not a question affecting the p-rinriple.s involved in the coutiict between orguniztd 1 ibor and or-pauized capital. Ue then addresses ‘ in.i-self to a critical analysis of the righiS of both parties iu tbe conflict fl hi se ho ;fe-fies according to the greatest legal auihori-ths, Blackslone, Coke and otliers, and the common law and constitution of the Uuilcd Stales, and by the same analysis lieilehne.'* Ihe nature aud funcdons of the Stale and Federal Governments. Then .the aufhw d. dares the proper equilibrium of rights under the law, and shows the peril of such a contusion and jrerversion of them as was manifested during the labor troubles in Chicago.' The paj>er Is written in a vo»y philosophic spirit, but it does not loek irony and wit.
