WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Secretary OF
Committee on Appropriations calling atten-
ton to the importance Of an appropriation to
provide arms for issue to the recently organ
lied naval militia. lie says:
"One OF the most vital defects in our present
naval system is the want OF an organized
militia. 30 trained that in case of necessity 1t
will DO prepared to supply the demands OF the
naval service the IN nuHRer OF seamen now
given time are necessarily scattered in various
Parts OF tho world. They would not be avail
able ut all in an emergency. nor would they In
any case be numerous enough TO form more
than the nucleus OF an active force. At the
outbreak OF the civil war there were only 200
seamen on the ATLANTIC coast at the disposal
OF the Government for the crews OF ships fitting
out. Largely in consequence OF this. naval
operations during the first six months were
delayed and obstructed. The, necessities Of
war alterward increased the force TO 10000.

there Is no place for politics. What a queer
set OF professors and fellows a national uni
verslty, the creature Of Congress, would be
| likely to turn out.
A whimsical part OF Mr.. EphUNDs's
bill is the provision that no sectarian doc
trine or belief shall DO taught or promoted
in the University, but this prohibition shall
not exclude the study OF Christian theology.
Hebrews not to speak OF agnostics and
atheists. would be justified in Directing to
the teaching of Christian theology In ma
tionRl university And where does Mr.. Ed
MUNDs expect to find n theological faculty
that can touch Christian theology without
maint tanning doctrines and beliefs that will
be regarded as sectarian by some body or
other OF Christian belieyers2 His only
refuge must be in some vague phrase about
the fundamentals OF the Christian relig-
ion, "but what seems vital and fundamental
10 one religious communion may seem ac-
cidental and unessential to another. Not
even n theological faculty composed OF
scholarly and Indifferent agnostics could
avoid the teaching OF some special doctrines.
There is, fortunately, no chance OF Mr.
EDMUNDss bill becoming law at present
and 1t is improbable even that it will attract
much attention. 1t is not worth while,
therefore, to enter upon the great and eeri-
GUS objections not to his bill alone, but to
any bill for the establishment OF national
university. There is one sufficient and in
surmountable objection. A university is for
the higher education of tho few. 1t Is UNI
just to tax the whole country for the benefit
OF few. The Catholics have university
at Washington. The Methodists are to have
one There can DO anon-sectarian one there
whenever sufficient private means is con-
trbuted for Its establishment The Govern
mont has no more right to set up ma
tional university and no more fitness to con-
duct one than it has to set up and conduct a
national natatorium or q national school OF
instruction on the clArionet.

The original contribution VI THE Sun to
the fund for the proposed international
Exposition OF 1902 In New York city was
ten thousand dollars; and here we have
nearly one-thrd Of 1t returned to us. The
remainder has been consumed In the neoes-
sary expenses Of the undertaking. AS we
have reason to know, these expenses have
been carefully looked after, not only by the
different committees, but by Mayor GRANT,
who was at the head OF them all.
Just MS soon as 1t was ascertained that, be-
cause New York is Democratic town, the
majority in Congress were determined that
there should be no International Exposition
here, and that it should be taken to the in
land city OF Chicago, a thousand miles from
the seabonrd, because Chicago Is Republl-
can town, the accounts were made up under
the direction OF the Mayor, and finally ench
subscriber has now received his due proper
tlon OF the unexpended balance. Not cent
has been wasted, and we are confident that
not one OF the parties interested sees any
occasion to complain. We are proud OF our
part in these financial transactions, and hope
we may never make any worso investment.
We make our acknowledgements to Mayor
GRANT for thus handsomely bringing to q
conclusion an affair whose management in
his hands from beginning 10 end has been
without an error or fault.
