proposition, that, as the making OF plays Ii tne
one branch of imaginative writing whlch hes
reached distinctly paying basis in TINS country
IT, il time more serious attention was given 10
its artistic side. The American play Is rapidly
taking possession OF the American stage, ana the
more nearly It approaches the best models, the

upon the theatre or not.
The Democratic leaders OF the House have freely
charged the Republicans in years past with Keep
ing back appropriation bills in order to influence
tariff legislation, and now ono OF tho leaders
openly admits that he is doing that very thing.
There is great impatience among those Interested
in the Navy because Mr.. Herbert, chairman OF the
Committed on Naval Affairs, makes no movement
toward bringing in the Naval bill. But this Is
what Mr.. Herbert says, as quoted in The fhlia-
delphia Ledger" Il do not intend to bring In
tho Naval bill at this time, when by so DONG
it could be used to antagonize the tariff. pro-
pose to do nothing to hinder the early passage
Of the Tariff bill. You can say, however that
the Naval Appropriation bill will reach the Presi-

Of this kind makes the predictions Of session

MINORITY rs MAJORITY.

Tn the course of his eloquent address before
the Alpha Delta Phi Society on Thursday even
ing George William Curtis eulogized the NIL
nority. And not content with insisting thai
the few had certain inalienable rights which
the MANY are bound to respect, he would seem
to have desired that the young men to whom
his remarks were specially addressed should
believe that the minority in the nature OF
things is superior to the majority. "There has
never been,n he remarked, "a forward step
taken for the benefit of humanity which has
not been achieved under the leadership OF the
minority. The minority is the sharp point OF
the spear; the majority merely the stan thap
drives the spearhead home"
Now, of course, if the minority is the main
thing and the majority is merely" con-
tributing force, a useful annex, it follows that
our theory of government is erroneous, since
the right of the majority do jure as well as de
facto to rule is its cornerstone. The American
conception of majority does not have regard
simply to preponderating numerical strength.
No: when we speak of government OF the
people by the people we assume that the ma
ioritv fairly obtained is not only physically
greater than the minority but because it stands
for the dominating public sentiment is the
superior force intellectually and morally. To
hold otherwise as a general proposition may
not be pessimism of the rankest sort, but 1t
certainly looks like distrust Of the people-an
Indictment of the Republican system. The
soldier in the awkward squad who complained
that the army was out Of step with him, the
juryman who had no patience with his eleven
obstinate companions in the box. the Mug
wump dozens who are fond of asserting that
they and not the Republican thousands in 1884
knew Mr.. Blaine for what he was-all these
can be counted upon to stand with MIR. Curtis
when he awards the highest honor to the mi
nority and argues that the majority is " merely'
a good second.
1t Is desirable that young men just enter
ing active life should be reminded that
minorities have rights and duties and high
opportunities; that they should be counselled
always to maintain the courage Of their con-
victions, whether they have the Endorsement
of the few or the many. It is also desirable
that they should not be taught to look with
favor upon the minority because it is the mi
norty. Give the majority its due. 1t also
has rights which the minority ought to respect.

With no sincere and reflective consideration
the Democratic House passed the most extrava-
CANT River and Harbor bill yesterday that has
vet been approved by any Congress. Twenty
millions were involved in its appropriations.
The vote by which it was passed appears to be
nothing but deal all around. Where was the
austere Randall? Where was the Great OBJ
jector, Holman. and where were the rest OF
the Treasury watchdogs who used to be so
grim and resolute in fighting the much smaller
appropriations passed under Republican Ad-
ministrations? They must suddenly have
fallen asleep.
DR.. Barnard, who resigned the presidency OF
Columbia College yesterday, well deserves the
rest which he has earned after sixty years of
active work as an educator. He graduated
from Yale in 1928 and at once began his life
work as a teacher Of young men. As an in
structor at Hartford, tutor at Yale, teacher
Of the deaf and dumb in this city, and pro-
lessor and president Of two Southern UNIVERSE
ties he was eminently successful. But his
crownino work has been done In this city In the
last twenty-four years He has made Columbia
College one of the leading universities Of this
country, and it will be graceful act on the
uart Of the trustees If they see their way clear
n allow him to complete quarter Of century
as president. DR.. Barnard is also widely known
through bis published writings on scientific
literary and social questions.
