SAN DOMINGO COMMISSION.

The President is continually as
tonishing the enemies of his social
ed San Domingo project by atfording
them all the light they ask, as well
as by appointing commissioners who
are everywhere pronounced fair and
impartial men. The resolution OF
inquiry offered by Senator Sumner,
ane which was thought to be such a
fine thrust at the administration, has
been responded to by full supply
of information, covering the entire
history Of every phase of that ques
ton. In his efforts to provide the
right class of commissioners, one is
appointed who is said to be com
mended even by Sumner, while all
are regarded as above suspicion.
The permission accorded to various
colleges to send out scientific gentle,
men to inquire into the condition Of
the Island, Independent of the com
missioners, also meets with favor.
The leading New York journals are
represented in. the persons of clerks
and attaches of the different officers,
so that we are at last likely to have
the most reliable data attainable as
to San Domingo, and its fitness for
reception in the Union. These things
rather dash the confidence of the
presidents opponents. They were
so ready to allow the imputation of
corruption to go forth that they are
not pleased to have the very docu-
ments they so pretentiously called
for come forth, bearing proof of the
honesty and uprightness of the pres
ident's action. AS q result, the opin-
ion is becoming general that the
president acted from honest convic-
tions in recommending the accession
of San Domingo, as also, that he will
abide by such report as the COM
missioners sent out shall make.
This is fair and right. In another
column will be found a condensed
history Of the men composing this
commission.

SAN DOMINGO.
Who Compose the Commission.

DR.. Samuel Gridley Howe, who
has been appointed one of the com
missioners to visit and report on the
island of San Domingo, was born
in Boston on Nov. 10, 1901,
He received his early education at
the Boston Latin school, ,and in 1921
graduated at Brown University. He
commenced the study of medicine
in Boston, but when the Greek wal
for independence broke out he pro-
ceeded to the Peloponesus, in 1924.
and joined the Greek army as mill
tary surgeon. He was very active
during the Greek war of liberation,
and after the close of the contest
procured large supplies of provis-
ions and clothing from the charit-
able in the United States to relieve
the famine which threatened Greece.
He also established colony on the
Isthmus of Corinth, but, being at
tackled with swamp fever, was obliged
to leave the country in 1880. After
witnessing the revolutions of 1881,
in Paris aud Belgium, he returned
to the United States, ,and BECAME in
terested in establishing an institu-
tion for the blind in Boston. He
then returned to Europe to acquire
the necessary information in refer
ence to the instruction of the blind,
and to engage teachers, and while
in Paris became interested in a plan
for sending supplies to the insurg-
ent Poles, and was siezed and i'm
prisoned by the Prussian govern
ment.
In 1882, he established at Boston,
the institution for the blind, which
has been under his charge ever since.
His greatest achievement at this in
stitution was his education of Laura
Bridgeman, the deaf and blind mute.
DR.. Howe has invented an alphabet
for the blind, and has organized
school for idiots. He was also, at
an early date, prominent in the anti
slavery party, and in 1916 was the
Free soil candidate for congress
against Hon. Robert c. Winthrop.
Recently DR.. Howe has been brought
extensively to the public notice by
his exertions to raise funds for the
wives and families of the Greek in
surgents in Crete.
Hon. Andrew Dickson White,
Ii. D., another of the San Domin-
go commissioners,was born in Syra-
cuse, New York, about 1920, and
graduated with high honors at Yale
College, Conn, in 1858. He then
travelled in Europe for some time,
passing several months in Russia,
and becoming thoroughly acquaint-
ed with that country. On his re
turn to the United States, he was
appointed pofessor of history and
English literature at the university
of Mich, at Ann Arbor, and was
subsequently selected as president
and organizer of Cornell University,

THE NORTH CAROLINA cONSTITU-
TIONAL CONVENTION.

Notwithstanding Attorney General
Ackerman's threats and speeches in
North Carolina, the call for a Con-
stitutional Convention has been rati-
fled blythe people. This interference
by the officers of the General Gov
eminent with the local affairs of the
States was a ~disgraceful exhibition
of Federal insolence, and has met
with a deserved reception. If there
is any right known to American citi-
zens from the Revolution down, it is
the right to alter and amend their
State Constitutions to suit them
selves. We have no doubt howe 5er
but that Grants administration will
take adva ntage of the act of the peo-
pie to again interfere with the State
government, and in some way at
tempt to dragon the vote of North
Carolina to his dictation. There is
a conspiracy on foot to again disturb
the peace of the South, and through
the instrumentality of the ku klnx
bill again reinstate the bayonet for
the ballot. The investigations of the
special committee appointed by Con-
gress have proveda failure-not only
a failure but a farce-very damaging
to those who expected to make Presi-
dental capital out of fancied South
ern disorders. Notwithstanding
this, however, the Attorney General
has prepared his plans for a general
prosecution by the Federal authority

RAILROADINa IN THE CENTER OF
THE CONTINENT.

The time is coming when an elab-
crate system of railways will grid
iron the ~intenior of this country west
of the Missouri, and the time is evil
IDENTIFY not very remote. The great
feeders of the Southern Pacific Rail
road are likely to b. completed be-
fore that railway is finished, or per-
haps even commenced. Two bands
of iron are now being laid connect
ing the Union Pacific Railroad with
the projected railroad over the south
can reute. One of these is the Utah
Central, which will be running cars
to Cottonwood in a few weeks, and
will be thence extended southwark
through Southern Utah to the Col
orado and across Arizona to the ella
Valley. The other system has its
center at Denver, which is already
connected by railroad with Cheyenne,
and with the East by the Kansas
Pacific. The railroad from Denver
south will be "A narrow gauge track
extending through Colorado and
New Mexico to the great valley of
the Rio Grande. The driving of the
first spikes on this railway was done
at Denver on the 2Sth of July, and
the construction of the road will be
rapidly pushed to completion. 1t is
a three-foot gauge. The press there
claim that the event will be noted as
n of the most important in history
as the commencement of the first
narrow gauge track on this CONT
nent. The Denver and Rio Grande
Railroad starts with plenty of capital
and good prospects, under the man
agement of distinguished railroad
men. 1t will probably be the first
to make the connection between the
central and southern railroad routes,
passing through a country famous
from early times for its immense
wealth of resources in grazing, agri-
culture, and mines. Colorado is
now growing with greater rapidity
than any Territory in the Union,
and tho latbarrin plaipS of Nav May-
leo are beginning to awaken from
the slumbers Of two centuries to a
realization of the activities of the age.
This railroad will give the progress
i've movement in the center of the
continent an impetus which will
bring that section into a prominence
never enjoyed heretofore, and at the
same time solve a railway expert
ment of much interest at this time.

A CHURCH CONFLICT.

Some has said that the Ameri-
can colonists in 1910 went to war on a
''preamble." 1t would he curious now
if the Episcopalians should '.split, on
a ''preface''-but, as we live in a curl
Gus age, perhaps we ought not to mar
vel at anything.
This has been said of a new edition
of the prayer book lately issued by
one wing of the Episcopal Church i'm
this country. The Evangelicals have
prepared the work for the considera-
ton OF the next General Convention.
As an innovation, of course, the High
Churchmen regard 1t with extreme
disfavor. The preface particularly is
unsatisfactory. The war of the prayer
books promises to be exceedingly bit
ter, not so much perhaps over the pc
culiarities of the books themselves as
from the fact that they form convent
ent banners for the two contending
factions in the Church-the High
and the Low or Evangelical wings
whose antagonisms are constantly
aggravated by the aggressions and
innovations of the latter. The old
and the new prayer books are but
symbols of two modes of thought, as
well as worship:-the n leaning with
a strong conservatism toward the an
lent order of things; the other
nearly related in spirit to the
radically evangelical denominations
which compose the Protestant major
ity. The i~rrepressible conflict between
the two finds a spirited vent over this
new question of revolutionizing the
most ancient aud venerated ritual of
their religion.
