Public School Religion Debate Stirs National Tensions
A lengthy editorial attack on universal secularization and the removal of religion from schools argues that such a move would erode moral foundations and endanger the republic. It cites Luther Knox and the Bible’s role in education, warns of infidelity, and asserts the plan is impracticable and harmful to national progress.

Editorial Roundup from the Era on Elections and People
The piece surveys political shifts in New Hampshire with Republicans gaining seats, notes invitations to Washington, and cites church and social dynamics. It mentions a Washington burial epitaph by a poor Black author, a Colfax murder by a Black assailant in New Mexico, and various opinions on troops, postmasters, liquor accusations, and municipal drunkenness in Des Moines.
Tre Negro in the South
The piece critiques the Nashville Christian Advocate and its contributor for promoting white supremacy and racial subjugation. It denounces the idea that the Negro should remain dependent on whites, arguing that such "Anglo-Saxon civilization" has brought suppression of free thought, violence, and degradation, and calls for moral remaking of the South.
