MONEY US. MEN.

1t is pleasant and not seldom profitable to
know precisely where we stand. we are, there-
FORE extremely obliged to Mr. Seymour Tor de-
claring in the Convention, in the debate on
COlOred Suffrage, that there Is deep 1eelhg
" throughout the State, deeper than TINS Oh
human rights in regard to trade and COM
"merce. 1t is a question as to how the great
estate of New-Yorl may maintain It's proud
position in the van of the Union, and 1t Is OF
"more Importance than giving the suffrage to
10000 negroes. The financial question of the
I" State is the great and absorbing question OF
all"
This is frank, and we like frankne3Si !. Is
bold, and courage is to be commended; 1t Is
cool, and GOODNESS is seasOnable. Everybody
knows that money is of more value than men !;
that money making is the great end OF society !;
that when jefferson, in the immortal old
Declaration, wrote " the pursuit of happiness
he simply meant the pursuit OF cash; that to
be "in the van Of the Union only means 10
have more money than any other State IN the
Union: that governments are instituted Tor tne
benefit of those who buy and sell; that poor
State being OF no consequence, poor man, OF
course. is nobody; that trade and commerce
are alone worthy of the attention of the law
maker. Everybody knows this but few people
have the moral courage, like Mr.. Seymour, to
say it boldly and publicly, and to avow as he
does substantially that, with ten thousand dol
lars upon one side and ten thousand negroes
upon the other, his heart and soul would be
with the dollars, and his secondary interest
only in the human beings.
All considerations of personal rights Except
ing always the right to make money! beng
thus put aside, the question arises whether we
should not have something in the Constitution
about Merchant Princes" -the Duke Of
Dollars, Count Cash, and Baron Balance. If
Mr.. Seymour is not rich enough to be made
nobleman, he may by steady attention to bust
ness raise the wind for purchasing his patent
in time, with q title, coat-armOr, and every
thing beautiful Meanwhile, the Convention
should speedily make mp its mind, whether or
not it is sitting solely in the interests of trade
"and commerce" Some people think human
rights of more value than many dollars but
that, after ALL may be a mistake.

Yale by the President, or any other onciai, Oh
the precise amount of money received during
the last year, but President Hill OF HarVaru
announced that his college has received the
generous sum of $47j,O0O, to be applied to diff
ferent purposes The principal aim OF harvard
seems to be to increase her facilities for giving
her students training in the sciences; while
Yale, which is also making vigorous efforts
in this direction. is also doing what Harvard
shows 10 disposition to delaying founda-
ton for the study of Art in the establishment
of permanent gallery of pictures and statues
and providing lectures on the general subject.
For carrying out this design, Mr. Street new
building furnishes an admirable foundation,
and it is greatly to be regretted that refusal
to carry out the terms of that generous gen.
tleman's will in its plain intent will probably
prevent his name from being associated with
the completed plan as exclusively as he would
have desired. To carry out that plan will
demand additional funds from some other
source.

OBITUARY.
1nHN G. RERGEN.

Police Commissioner John G. Bergen died at
his home on Tird-ave and Thirty ifthst, Brooklyn at
about O'Clock last evening He was highly esteemed
and very useful citizen He had suffered nearly year
from cancer in the stomach and last Summer then not
aware of the character Of the maady which ha1 taken
him of, he visited Panama; but the trip afforded him
no relief and after his return, he was seldom able
to attend his duties member and Treasurer OF the
Board of Commissioners Of Metropolitan Police About
three months ago ceased altogether to visit the Police
Central ONCE and whenever important business rcqur
ing fun vote OF the Board, to be trans
asted, Messrs Acton, BOsworth, and Manierre
held their sessions in Commissioner Bergens house
Mr. Bergen, very quiet, unassulning, and
thoroughly honest man, was not a politician
in the YewYoIk sense yet few citizens Of Brooklyn ever
held greater number Of Offices Of public trust In 1886
1872 and 1850 he represented the Eighth and Ninth Wards
OF Brooklyn the Board Of Supervisors in 1854 he was
sent to the state Assembly; again, in 1858, he was
made member Of the Brooklyn Board OF Supervisors

70 Police Commissonership, Office to which he was
reapponted by Gov Seymour under the reorganization
OF the Board In Commissioner Bergen was born on
the 18th OF December 1914 the spot where he died

We find in our French papers some interest
ing facts with regard to the Episcopal COnvOca-
ton in Rome. 1t is stated that the address
to the Pope, signed by the Bishops, had 537
signatures. Ii seems, therefore that more than
One-half of all the Bishops of the Catholic
World had followed the invitation of the Pope.
The Bishops of each nation held special
meeting for appointing the members Of
the Committee charged with drawing up the
Address. In this Committee France was repre-
scented by four bishops; Austria, Spain, Italy,
North America, and the East by three each;
England, Ireland, Prussia by two each, and
Belgium, Holland, Bavaria, Switzerland,
Portugal, Brazil, and Mexico by one each. The
Eastern bishops in the Committee were the
Patriarch of Jerusalem, the Archbishop Primate
of the Catholic Armenians, and Vicar
Apostolic Of China.

The Secretary of the Treasury yesterday in
formed the House that he found authority for
the appointment of our Metropolitan Board of
Internal Revenue in the Revenue laws, and
that his action was necessary to prevent
shameful frauds. This communication, else
where published, provoked a rather savage
debate, in which Mr.. McCullOch and his Off
GERS were severely handled. We wish the
Speaker would put peremptory stop to
such debate as Messrs. Schenck and Ross
INDUCED in. The former accused Mr. McCul-
loch of dirty, backyard attack on Con
gress," and the latter did not want members
to make blackguards of themselves. The dis
graceful scenes of the last session show the in
eyitable result of such abuse of the freedom of
debate, and we beg the Speaker to check it
promptly in future.

A great deal of complaint has been made OF
the liberal appropriations voted at the last
session of the Legislature to religious institu-
tions. and it has been charged that the Roman
Catholics have received an especially generous
share of the donations. A correspondent mas
furnished us with an analysis OF the appropri-
alton bill, showing that of the 1l5 institutions
of charity or education thus favored, "a were
Catholic, so Protestant, and l Hebrew. ms
analysis, however, is not fair one. lt classi-
fies as Protestant all institutions which are not
distinctyely Catholic, while the fact Is that
nearly half of them are entirely independent OF
all religious denominations. For instance,
among the Protestant institutions are reckoned
% DispenSarieS, and at least City Hospitals
Infirmaries, Lying-in Asylums, and similar es'
Establishments in which the patients are Tree 10
call for whatever religious attendance they
desire. This is absurd. AS for other establish
ments. there are Ga Orphan AsyHms, Homes
. for the Friendless, and kindred charities
90 of them Catholic, and the rest
mainly Protestant in their influence, If not d.
rectly so in name These receive in the aggre-
gate $4,000, to be divided among them in pro-
norton TO the number OF their inmates. Nine
Hospitals, &C, iITec OL blcH NdbHViiN, 'N"N''N
$4,000 to be divided in similar manner
Twelve Catholic Schools and Asylums Obtain
1921, 900 among them, and 80 Protestant OF secu-
lar establishments get $4,000 BIT of these 80,
at least 81, as we said before, are in no sense
under the control of any religious denOmina-
ton. To the remaining 8, about $4,000 of the
$4l,5OO was appropriated. Of the $4,000 paid
to the Catholic establishments, it is only fair to
say that 5000 is devoted to Soldiers Hospital
at Rochester, served by the Sisters OF Charity
under direction of a government medical officer
Thus the appropriations to Catholics and Prot
estants were about equal. We believe that
the whole system is wrong, and that no reli-
gious institutions ought to get money from the
State Those who support them ought to gov
ern them. But we do not see that IN the pres
ent case Protestants have any good reason &c
complain OF undue Partially toward the Cath
olics.

The author of the Cable kilograms has I'M
dOubtcdly made some egregiOus plumbers, and
exposed himself to just criticism The hoax OF
the Russian note on the Fenans, for instance,
will be long remembered for notwithstanding
The Heralds sensational editorial on the
threatening attitude of Russia, most people
find it difficult TO understand how any man
of common sense could be deceived by so in
sipid Joke. THE TRIBUNE has been among
the first to point out the errors OF the Cable
dispatches. But we have of late noticed that
it is becoming customary with certain papers
to criticse every dispatch of the Associated
Press, whether good or bad. Thus The Herald
of Yesterday Iidicules all the dispatches re-
ceived the night before last, as it seems to
us, without reason. The reappearance OF nos
suth in the Hungarian Parliament is an event
in which thousands of Americans take great
interest, and which may yet have marked
influence on the future of Austria The procla-
nation of martial law in Spain after the land
ing of Prim is a significant indication OF the
continuance of the revolutionary excitement
The vote in the European Parliaments on the
abolition of capital punishment deeply interests
thousands of rcformeIs. If all such news items
should be declared supertluous, there would soon
be little left TO be telegraphed

Mr. Wendell Phillips, ia the last number OF
The And-Slarery Standard, makes a confession
of faith, which is explicit enough at any rate
He thinks we ought to go about seeking those
colored men who are fit for Office, and take
sed1lOus care that they obtain it. In other
words, to quote his own language, eve should
Labor to elect men to Office merely because
"they are black Mr.. Phillips might just as
well insist that the honOrs and emOluments OF
Office should be equally divided between black
haired men and red haired men. The color OF
a mans skin is no reason either for or against
his election to Office. We certainly do not 60
about in search of all the proper white men,
and take pains that they all get offices, and we
can see no reason why such an extraordinary
preference as Mr. Phillips demands should be
shown to the blacks. When he has proved tina,
the colored people have a greater natural lit
ness for public employment than any Other
race, it will be time enough to ask us to vote
for them simply on the ground that they are
not white.

A few dozen adventurous persons, upon
ouixotic or plunderng purposes intent, have
organized themselves into an army henceforth
to be known in history as the MaximiliaD
Avengers" Their headquarters are at pres
ent in New-York, but If they can raise money
enough to pay their passage they intend shortly
to unfurl the black flag on the banks OF tha
Rio Grande The leaders of such tlibustering
