A Census OF Opinions.

A proposition to include in the English
census description Of the religious profess
sions or attachments OF the people has been
vigorously opposed in Parliament on the
ground that questions as to anybody's re-
liRious belief are lmpertinent and indelicate.
mans religion, said Sir HENRY JAMES In
substance, is his own private affair, and the
Government has no right to compel him to
make 1t public.
That is very true; but the chief reason for
his opposition seemed to lie In his considera-
tion for the sensitive and conscientious peo-
Pile who would be put to great difficulty to
tell what their religious beliefs are or
whether they have any religious belief at
all. II they refused to answer the question
or ignored 1t, inferences Injurious to them
might be made. They might be SGT down by
their neighbors as infidels. and hence be-
come subjects OF troublesome gossip. though
In all respects they are OF the salt OF society.
Infidelity may have grown more fashion
able than formerly. but there still remains
prejudice against 1t which many of those
disposed that way would not care to provoke
by outright confession OF their doubts. The
distinguishing quality OF the prevalent mod
ern infidelity, too Is that 1t is not iormu-
lated aud aggressive. 1t is not bold denial,
but inability TO believe. and tendency to
give up the theological problems as insolu-
BILE. It does not go forth to attack faith, and
does not scoff and snarl, but remains In
philoeophic calm. with no inclination to dis
turb creeds and no enmity to any of them.
OF old days the infdels OF a community
could be picked out easily enough. They
were all marked men. and the public oppro-
brium under which they rested tended to
make them defiant. They grew to hate the
Church and whatever concerned religion.
But now they are usually undlscernible
among the mass, for they keep their relig-
ious opinions to themselves. having no
anxiety to defend their critical habit, 30
far from hating religion, they may go to
church like other people, finding 1t no hard
ship to keep up outward conformity.
Yet, as Sir HENRY suggested, such men
and women might be restrained by CON-
science from allowing themselves to be Of
ficially recorded Us OF any particular reltg-
lous connection. They have neither religious
beliefs nor religious unbelieis to announce.
They have simply given up the riddle; but
their unreasoning interest In worship may
be as strong as ever. They do not want to
be described as lntidels. as II they aggres-
sively rejected faith, when they simply are
waiting to be convinced. Some Of the most
spiritually minded OF the community arc
within their ranks. and to record them as
infdels In the old sense Of tho term would
not be descriptive Of what thsy really are.
Hence the proposed religious census would
have no statistical value. The answers
would DO no moro valuable than the answers

Secrecy I'm Executions.

The epublic discussion concerning the recent
execution by electricity at Auburn shows
that some confusion exists as to the ground
upon which many newspapers In this State
question or deny the power OF the Legisla-
ture to prohibit the publication Of the cir
cumstances attending the infiction Of
capital punishment.
We are inclined to think that. In the exer-
else of what Is known to lawyers as the
police power. a State can lawfully Impose
the obligation OF secrecy upon all of it's
sworn officers who are engaged In the exc
oution OF a murderer. For example, the
statute might designate particular officer
rs the executioner, and require him to full
I'll his dreadful task in the presence Of few
other officers, all sworn to secrecy; and it
might further provide for the infiction Of
severe punishment upon any Of these off,
GERS who should disclose any facts concern
Ing the execution, except that the mandate
OF the law had been carried out. A report
OF the proceedings could then be made to
the Governor. to be filed, but not to be
made public without his express direction.
These suggestions indicate not what we
think ought to be done, but what we think
might lawfully be done to keep the details
OF executions secret. In such scheme
there would be no interference with the lib
erty Of the press such as is attempted by
tho letter Of the existing law. The present
statute however, does not impose the obll-
CATION OF secrecy upon any one who attends
the execution. The Warden and the wit
neFses are lett free to tell any one or TO write
to any one all the details of the shocking
scene. 1t is only when a newspaper at
tempts to tell the people at large, In print,
what the Warden and witnesses are at lib
erty to tell any one by word of mouth or by
letter. that tho law slepsin and says, Thou
shalt not" We have repeatedly expressed
the opinion that this prohibition was In con-
hict with that provision Of the Constitution
OF the State which Euara ntees the freedom
OF the press, aud a similar opinion appears
to have been entertained by the conductors
OF almost every newspaper within the terri
toriAl limits of New York.
II the Legislature wants to make execu-
tonS absolutely secret II must devise some
method which docs not conflict with the
Constitution. We quite agree that murder
ere should not be executed In public, but
should be put TO DEATH 80 long as capital
punishment Is inflicted at all. in the privacy
Of some prison. But We are opposed to the

The Two Champions.

Barring q little dampness which lurked
beneath the grounds surface yesterday,
there seemed to be at Monmouth Park
perfect concentration Of everything that
could make q really great horse-racing day.
The weather. the folks, and the animals
were there. each in the best of its kind for
the purpose. And, to cap all, there were
two events whose interest stretched
beyond the fractional portion Of the
public who have an Individual taste for
horses. There were two races avowedly
claiming to represent the test for champion
ship. the Champion Stakes and the Junior
Champion Stakes, and after seeing the en-
tries for each no ono could deny that their
titles fairly involved the honors. Each race
appealed to the innate longing Of every one,
horseman or otherwise. to find out what was
fairly the best OF its class. The winner In
each would be champion beyond dispute.
Fortune must have felt q certain regret
that among the magnifcently confusing
finish by the two year-olds she should have
had to pick the winner at all. A finer lot
never made Q more exciting ending; but
Strathmeath is Junior Champion.
Then was settled the question Of supe-
riority between two cracks which have
produced moro enthusiastic debate perhaps
than have any other couple since the long
but at last crushingly determined contest
between Lexington and Lecompte. Long
fellow and Harry Bassett never raised their
rivalry to the pitch Of such widespread dis
pute as had Salvador and Tenny, but that
ended yesterday, and the Champion OF his
race on this side Of the water is Salvador.
Everything that a horse can have or that q
breeder can fancy Is his. Even the aesthetic
sense Is satisfied In his case, for besides size,
temper, speed, and strength. he has grand
beauty. He is tho style Of animal that the
outside public would wish to have as cham
pion. 30 all can hail him.
Since the champion race is over. We know
that there will be some pleased and back
ward looking turfmen, who will be asking
sadly to themselves the question: when
shall we see his like agaln3" In our opinion
another horse Of his oalibre. or better, will
be seen next year.

The Downfall OF tho Interstate Com
merce Commission.


Tho Interstate Commerce Commission
has no standing In the courts or with law
yors Of eminence who do not occupy seats
In the Commission itself. No really aggres-
oive action that 1t has taken will stand the
test OF the United States courts any moro
than 1t will stand the test Of common sense.
The Commission is become q political
machine; 1t Is conducted on clRp-trap and
demagogIc principles for the advancement
Of Individual interests, and 1t is no longer
what the trainers OF the Interstate Com
merce act designed that 1t should be.
Its latest ukase against the Western rail-
roads In connection with the rates on food
products Is the transparent effort Of tho
Hon. WmLIAM R. MORRISON to make him
self conspicuous In the eyes OF tho farmers
and to curry favor with the Farmers Alli-
ance. It will be resisted by the railroads
and the Commission will be thrown out Of
court. A more arbitrary. dishonest, and
tyrannous use Of like power has never
been known on the part Of q like body In our
history, and its promulgatlon Is an imputa-
ton upon the honesty and the common
sense OF every member Of the Commission.
Tho decision handed down In Cincinnati
on Monday by Judges JACKSON and SAGE in
the matter OF tho Commission against the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, is q
fair example Of how the Commission fares
when its rulings are confronted with the
rude test Of law and common rights. It
was sought to compel the railroad to refrain
from making special concessions In rates to
theatrical companies journeying about from
town to town. The ruling is familiar one.
and while enforced 1t was oppressive
and worked mischief. Tho United States
Court made short work Of it. It held
that the common carriers OF the United
States are not impaired In their priv
neges and powers by the Interstate
Commerce act, and that it is not in the
faculty Of the Commission to restrict them
from making such rates as they may see
at for the proper conduct OF their business.
They may classify. scale. and alter their
charges as they please provided only those
charges be just and reasonable.
The fundamental idea Of this decision will
be found applicable to the order just promul-
gated by tho Commission reducing the grain
rates on O number Of important railroads.
and 1t will be found equally pertinent to the
reduction Just ordered by the Kansas Com
missioners and to every other confscatory
and predatory imposition Of the kind. The
Interstate Commission is In contempt, In
the courts and outside the courts, and II the
railroads suffer at Its hands it will be their
own fault. They have an ample remedy In
the courts, and it Is impossible that they
should appeal to them In vain.
