More priestly Ignorance of Politics.

MANY of the various clCrgymen who are
preaching 80 much about politics nowadays,
seem utterly insensble to any moral obliga-
tion TO inform themselves accurately upon
the subjects OF which they discourse so freely
md knowingly. No doubt they can make
their pictures OF municipal corruption and
the general downward tendency OF things
political more lurid and effective IL they can
paint them without being trammelled by the
requirements OF truth but most people nave
notion that a clergyman ought ABOVE an
else to be truthful and to take speclai
pains to avoid saying that which Is not 3d.
A conspicuous instance ofignoranceo on the
part OF a clerical critic OF our municipal sys-
tom OF government, is afforded by the dis
course which the Rev. DR.. DA COSTA preached
Mt the Church OF st. John the Evangelist In
this city on Sunday last. DR.. DA COSTA
does not think there Is much hope Tor pure
government under the present charter OF
the city OF New York. Speaking OF the So
called citizens reform movement, he is re-
portcd by the Ne,D York Tribune to have
said that even II the movement succeeded
in electing chief magistrate who would be
free from tho influence OF any political
party, he would not be able to effect any
thing. "A new magistrate did not consti-
tute reform. Under tho present charter
the Mayor was at the mercy OF the Board
of Aldermen, and what was needed was a
new charter, election by the general mass
of the people, and the investment in the
Mayor OF almost absolute power over his
appointees."
These remarks indicate that the reverend
gentleman who uttered them supposes that
the Board of Aldermen still possess the
power of passing upon the Mayors appoint
ments to Office by confirming or rejecting
his nominations. If DR.. DA COSTA will go to
some library in which tho annually pub
lished Session Laws OF New York are kept
and will look at the volume for 1884, he
will find printed on page AZ OF that vol
ume a statute entitled AN act to centre
responsibility in the municipal Government
Of the city of New York" passed March II,
1884. That statute Is in these words:
"SEcros l. All appointments to Office In the city of
New York now made by tho Mayor and confirmed by
tho Board OF Aldermen shall hereafter be made by the
Mayor without such confirmation
SEcTroN 2. This act shall take effect Jan. l. 1885,"
It will be perceived that it is more than
five years since this law went into effect
The Rev. Dr. DA COSTA in his sermon on
Sunday must have been criticising the mu-
nicpal system OF government in New York
city as it existed upward of five years ago,
not as it exists to-day. Under the circum-
stances it will not be deemed profane to
characterize his remarks as ancient history.
1t is pretty good rule for clergymen as
well as others who want to tell people how
things ought to be, to find out first exactly
how things are now.

whether from tuition fees or endowment, Is
paid out for their benefit.
Yet a correspondent writes to US saying

to tho free college supported by this city,
but would degrade his American man
hood" il he went Ms q freo student 10
Harvard or Columbia. We do not SEQ
the distinction. II going to tho en-
dowed college makes him "pauper,
as our correspondent says, why Is he any
the less pauper II he goes to free college
supported by public taxationr He cannot
70 to any college without receiving his edn-
cation as a gift in large part, even II he pays
his tuition fees. Nor do we regard the obli-
CATION to the endowed college as any more
than the obligation to the college maintained
by tho city. If lie can afford to pay some
thing toward the expense OF his college euu-
cation, he ought to pay 1t, no matter where
he gets the instruction. His manhoou re-
Qulres that he should do It,
The case IL different with the schools for
free elementary education. They are MAIN
tained for the safety OF the State to ward OH
the dangers from illiteracy, as the police are
maintained for the protection OF life and
property and to preserve social order. Col
leges subserve no such ends. but are simply
to give further education OF the nature oil
luxury; and hence they cannot properly be
made charge on the people OF the State
Nor is there any need for them. As we
have shown, the private and endowed col
leges are supplying the demand without re-
gard to pay. AS a matter OF fact, too the
great majority OF them arc eager to get
students, not to make money out OF them,
but to add to their own glory and opportu-
mites for usefulness.
We add that about one hundred Of our COL
leges have Libraries containing in all 1882
2ss volumes, and during the last year the
new volumes added to them numbered
l63,022 Yet these institutions comprise less
than one-third Of the colleges in the Union.

Tho Cost Of College Education.

Nnety-four of our colleges received In
gifts during the past year the great sum Of
Ss,624. $40. and the total OF their present en-
dowments Is $5l. 765.449
The most richly endowed OF these institu-
tons Is Columbia College of New York,
1t received landed property from the
Trinity Church Corporation in 1884, and
from the State in 1914, which has grown in
value with the growth Of the town. until now
1t yields yearly income OF $4,000, and
therefore is worth S7OOO,OOO. Tho other
property OF tho college, consisting OF lands,
buildings, and apparatus not productive Of
income, is OF an estimated value OF about
$2,O0O,OOO more, making the total capital
$1,000, 900. The advantages accrung from
this great endowment and investment are
enjoyed by the students OF the college,
though they pay only $4,000 a year in
fees, or not one-thlrd OF the cost Of main
tanning tho institution. They receive tho
rest as II GIFT
The Same is true OF colleges generally to
q greater or loss degree. They arc all free
colleges in large part. None OF them pays
its expenses with tuition fees. They are not
maintained to make money, but to afford
facilities for education according to the
amount OF income they can get from endow-
ments and gifts from private individuals,
whatever may be their receipts from tuition
fees. whether much or little.
The college which comes next to Columbia
In the amount o! its endowment is Harvard,
with So 1853 900; and last year from gifts In
money alone 1t received 100000. This total
sum Includes only the interest bearing prop
Srty. The investment in buildings, library,
