THY NOT A FIFTH ECT4TEf

The world recognizes four estates, Divinity Mcdi-
cine Law and Journalism. The last mentioned OF
the four was the last to attain to the honor that
goes with such distinction Perhaps it is the ever
present consciousness of this fact that renders
newspaper men so winningly modest. If any mem-
Der Of the guild over should yield to the temptation
to paint his professional sef-oonceit red, he doubt
less would claim that Times Doblest estate, like
Times nobest ofsprlng-"is is the last" But let us
not anticipate.
Speaking of estates, it occurred to MS to inquire
Of the ladies and gentlemen whom 1T might con-
cern why there was no fifth estate even the estate
of school-teaching Tho word estate as here used
means. to quote from tho dictionary. "onc of the
ranks or classes Of men that considered as con-
stituting the Stater But no one will argue that
either the minister the doctor. the lawyer
or the newspaper man are to be regarded as
more necessary to the safety and prosperity of the
State than the school-teachcr. The lect-
ure-stand has been defined to be
"the pulpit pushed ont into the week"
But the words are more pert rtlnent when applied to
the pedagogucs desk IL is scarcely too much to
assent that his bending of the twig five secular
days in the week has IA much to do with dctcrnn-
ing the inclination of the tree ~ any eliofts oi the
parson on Sunday. All the same scho0l-toachlng
has not attained TO tho dignity of an estate Indeed
If mankind decided to constitute n fifth. the
chances are that railroadiug would be preferred
before school-tcaching.
And the trouble Is and has been. we submit. with
the scbool-teachers themselves. They fail to mag
nifty their vocation. They are apt to look upon II
merely rs a makeshilt ~ the means to an end, ana
not as a lifc-work. ono continually hears OF Il
young man turning from school-teaching to one OF
the four estates; but who hears of any one OF the
estates being abandoned for schO0l-tcachingf
There are, of course. exceptions 10 the ruIe-olr
own city can boast of scores of teachers who 20
about ther dailytask with the consciousness that no
career can be more honorable or useful than theirs
We appeal to them if we have not hit upon the rea-
son u.hv schoolteachino is not one of the estates.
New-York tribune., 1884-10-01

few minutes between stations often necessitate
the making of fresh arrangements. There Is
no margin anywhere for neglect or sclf-wlll,
and whatever railroad officer makes expert
ments of the kind does it at the risk OF such
frightful accidents as that at Pennington.
There Is no excuse for such accidents. The
freight conductor who insisted upon proceeding
on the time of the passenger express knew that
be was not allowed to take such a response
bility upon himself; knew that he was yiolat-
ing orders; and must be assumed to have
known that ne had been ordered not to go on
for the reason that the passenger express was
between him and the next station. Habit will
often make men rash, but railroad conductor
ought to have the habit Of obedience so firmly
established that the thought of independent
action while on duty should never occur to him.
In the present case the culpable person has
passed beyond the jurisdiction of earthly
courts, but his responsibility for the calamity
remains the same. and his death cannot be
regarded as having acquitted him of blame.
OF course it is clear that no amount OF care
and precautiOn on the part of the railroad COM
pany could have prevented an accident so
originating but the case Is striking example
of the necessity of obeying orders in the rail-
road business.

Mr.. Belmont was the chief attorney of Chill ana
the British bondholders, and is now, as he
was then, q leading man of his party III the
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
No, the party has not changed. 1t is as blnd'
ignorant, narrow. sectional and mulish as ever.
1t has the same plantation ideas of National
affairs and interests. 1t shows the same ig-
norant and laundering demagOgsm In finance
and currency. 1t is guilty of the same reckless
medding with everything, wherever it thinks
votes may be caught. Why should it be trusted
more than before 7
Perhaps business men have not taken time 10
think of these things as early as in previous
campaigns. But they will know, when they
think, what sort of party the Democratic mas
been in its action on all business interests
They will know, when they think, that 1t mas
not changed and that it would he better 10
trust drunken, pipc-smoking street loafer with
the care of powder magazine than to put the
Democratic party in charge of the National Dusi-
ness and National finances. But Is 1t not tllhe
to think os these things

Whatever helps Protection helps the Nation
II is of great Importance, therefore, that all IN
formation in the possession of the Government
or of private persons, on the condition OF wages
and labor in free trade countries should be
made public now while the citizens of the Re-
public are discussing problem the right solu-
ton of which is essential to their prosperity.
For this reason the delay in giving to the press
certain reports at present in the control OF the
State Department is peculiarly unfortunate:
These statistics are collected for the benefit OF
the Nation and the voters have right to know
what they are at the earliest possible date
Secretary Frelinghuysen will doubtless be an
moved to learn that what seems to be unlnten-
tional neglect on his part has prevented the re-
ports from being made public.

CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE ENOUGH

CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE ENOOdH.
The only free trade an American should
tolerate, even in thought, is free trade between
the thirty-eight States and six Territories.
Free trade within the United States is enough
to occupy and satisfy the manufacturing IN
dustry and capital of the Nation. Fools De-
yond measurement would we be to throw
away this unequalled freedom and accept IN
place of it the slavery that always follows tne
conouests of British free trade.
Cruel and unrelcnting warfare is that tree
trade. Its strength is in paupcr labor, cheap
materials and starvation wages. Its aim Is 10
close our factories and workshops and make
rs consumers of British products. The de-
structiOn it works of ccntcnted employment
comfortable households, sufficient llveliboods'
invested capital in thousand forms, accumu-
lated savings of all the movement ana ex-
changes of successfully busy people, is terribly
greater than that caused by military invasion
and war of conquest. When you go to the
pols remember that Grover Cleveland Is the
chosen candidate of the extreme British Free
Traders, and will be the willing agent OF their
deadly purDOses.
