A REMAIN ABLE STATEMENT

The Rev. Mr.. Hamilton, of tie Cornell Memorial
Methodist Episcopal Church, is reported to have
said in the coarse of ldTess the use of feI-
mented wine in the communion service: |" Ii Christ
should come aga u upon the earth and drink and
recommend fermented w.ne az by some good
people lie Is believed to have done. He could
longer retain membership in that branch of His
church which have The honor to represent" This
10 certainly a remarkable statement, for it implies
that the authority Of the creature may outweigh
that of the creator; that the church may hold IT.

mranng Of its Founder than is the latter Himself
And this is not the entire implication Of the Rev.
Mr. Hamilton's statement Ii really includes

pothesis Of His divinity room can exist for the
loast doubt as to the excellence Of His wisdom but
Mr. Hamilton appears to hold that He might pos
sibiy lee wrong in His Judgment concerning the
use Of fermented wine in the communion. Nov
Is human. but il Is not divine and therefore
from an orthodox point OF view Mr.. Hamilion's
statement means, not that Christ would 10 rOng
if lie approved fermented wine, but that in such
an event Mr. Hamilton's church would cceds. aud
cease to he the church of Christ; that is to say,
Christian church.
1t is not to be believed that Mr.. Hamilton per-
ceved the scope of his extraordinary statement

MARTYRS TO DUTY.

That was q thrilling story in yesterdays
TRIBUNE of the fate OF the FIVE seamen who
we're lost while trying to save distressed
schooner from shipwreck. Tue first officer of
the Cromwell Line Steamship Knickerbocker,
Captain Is. J. Henry; and four seamen, John
johnson, George Harris, William Mitgaten and
Frederic Johnson. volunteered TO fetch line
from the schooner Mary d. Cranmei, then in
imminent danger Of driving ashore. The
gallant little crew reached the schooner, got
the end Of hawser, and set out to return to
the steamer through wicked and increasing
cross sea. The life-boat which they manned
was capsized again and again, and repeatedly
they righted her and resumed the desperat.

water with which the poor fellows were
drenched froze On them. while the stineine

to the weight of their icy armor. They had
nearly reached the Knickerbocker when more
tremendous sea than ever overwhelmed the
boat. and when it passed awny the strength OF
the long-butietAd men was exhausted, and they
drowned before tho eyes Of their helpless
comrades.

SECRETARY WHITNEYS DEFAM4TTON

Secretary Whitney in his recent letter charged
TUE TRIBUNE with repeatedly incorporating
his views respecting the purchase of armoI and
engines abroad. STHE TRIBUNE he said,
@has fallen into an error which it has repeated
great many times and again repeats to-dny
1t has frequently said that have desired to
buy abroad tue arnor plate and machinery of
naval vessels. Az the exact contrary of
this position has boen repeatedly asserted OF
me during the last year on the editorial page
of THE TRIBUNE, request that this correction
be made.n w. knew when we commented on
this letter that this charge of repeated and
constant misrepresentation OF the Secretary's
views was unfouudrd. The subject of import
ing engines had never been discussed by us
at all and the articles which had appeared iu
hostility to the purchase OF armor Dad had
been based on the Act Of Congress PASSED last
July, and were strictly imDeIsonal. But mas
mu Oh as the Secretary committed himself SO I'M
reset ved!y in his let or to the principle OF eucour
aging American industries we good naturedly
overlooked bis own Misrepresentation of The
TRIBuNE's course. We would do so now, il bis
friends were not inadvertently charging US
with having lied about him week after week
during tho past year.
We have taken pains to have the files of
The TRIBUNE for the current year carefully
examined. During that period there have
been precisely two sentences on this page re-
lating to Secretary Whitney's personal views
on the subject of buying engines and armor
abroad. On November "a We said sAppar-
sutly the Secretary desires to renew the
application for discretionary power TO buy
armor abroad. II no cannot obtain 1t In the
United States" That this was not tar from
tho truth il shown by the President himself,
who In his Message says that II domestic manu-

Of obtaining abroad the armOr and the gun
steel for the authorized ships. Tho only other
personal reference to the Secretary's policy in
lisled December 2, with called forth his
letter. This was: ~ lie has favored the
purchase of armor plates, shaftng and engines
abroad" Secretary " ntney's charge that a
false accusation has been reiterated many times
in these columns Is gross error.
Now let Us analyze the two sentences quoted
abrve and find out how much was true IN them.
That OF November "a was wholly true. ii We
may believe the Presidents summary, since the
Secretary desires. as we said. to buy arrD"r
abroad If he cannot induce manufacturers to
furnish it, That OF December 2 contained one
mistake made inadvertently on that day and at
no other tme--the ilss of the word Gengines."
The Secretary had not favored the importation
of engines. But he had favored the House bill
containing a clause comforting npon him dis
cretionary power to buy shafting and armor
abroad. His letter to Senator Cameron was
written for the express purpose of securing he
passage of the bill with that clause which his
friends had carried through the House and of
preventing its modification by the Senate.
Consequently we were fully justified in saying
that he had favored the purchase of armOr

INDUSTRIAL 1R1INING IN SCHOOLS
Mayor Grace has recommended plan for
the industrial education of young women in
the public schools. He has discussed the
general subject in two of his annual messages.
and has heartily favored the principle of giving
to hose who apply for it the rudments Of
practical or even technical education. He now
goes n step further and PROPOSES the establ sh-
ment and equipment OF school In which
young women may be tau-ht phono xraphy,
typewriting telrgraphy, bookkeeping. cook
ing, homework and sewing. He suggests
that this school shall be open only to candi-
dates from the grammar departments-an
expe1ien that will relieve the pressure upon
the Normal College. Tie plan certainly is one
that merit. deliberate consideration. The
Board of Education mas been very reluctant tn
act upon questions relating to industrial
education. The Mayors interest in the
subj ct may lead speedily to definite results
Industrial education combined with common
sci DOL instruction should not he tried hastily
and without adequate preparation; nor should
it be allowed to interfere in any way with the
course of the public schools. That requires
simplifcation and shortening rather than
amDHDCitO". DuC Cnere Is no reason why
special industrial schools as adjuncts of the
public schools should not do a noble and
beEe6cent work. While the Board of Educa-
ton has been furtvely daying with the
subject it has received an advantageous offer
from the Industrial Education Society. That
organizations ia which General Alexander s.
Webb and Miss Grace II. d Ddge have interested
themselves, has opened in University place an
industrial school. 1t has agreed to open its
doors to pubic school chill lren two hours a
day for six months free Of charge. This step
will deprive the society of income for one
third OF the time and will cost $4,000. Only a
limited number of applicants from the grammar
schools can be- accommodated possibly not
over one hundred-but thpse who desire in
struciion can receive it il. cooking, homework,
free-hand drawing, designing, clay modelling,
cal pentry aud other practical branches. M
better opportunity can be afforded for testing
the advantages OF courses of Industrial training
on small scale. In our judgment this offer OF
he Industrial Association commodities itself
To the Mayors plan and leaves the Board OF
Education no valid excuse for inaction. Ii they
consider it inexpedient or in any event prema-
ture to INTRODUCES the system OF technical
instruction on large scale, they can scarcely
fail to bs impressed with the advantages of q
proposition that will enable them to try the
experiment in modest way without expense
and to watch the results.

seamen were IN no way urged or compelled to
risk their lives. They volunteered for the
service of danger. Their only Indictment was
the peril of some unknown fellow creatures.
They knew that IL the wind held as it was
and the schooner was not assisted, she would
90 ashore and all on board her must be lost.
This knowledge inspired them to put their own
lives in jeopardy, and, ma the event shows, to
sacrifice Them We may be sure too that what
perved them for the prolonged battle with
wind and wave on their return trip was far
less concern for themselves than consideration
of the fact that npou their exertions depended
the rescue Of the schooner's crew. The odds
against them we're too heavy and they failed,
but they died glorionsly in the performance of
the highest duty laid upon humanity. and tho
moral of their heroism is one which needs no
special application.
