A Chance for Fair Play.

We hear lots Of cuckoo abuse for the
Democrats who demand that the Populistic
income tax be stricken from the party
programme before they are asked to con-
slider the tariff. but nothing from the same
quarter against the much greater number
OF Congressman who have said from within
the Democratic lines. mo Tariff bill with
out the income tax"
How is this
Does the Mugwump belt necessarily
squeeze out every idea Of fair play as well
as OF genuine Democracy We invite its
wearers to consider one striking difference
between the two classes Of politicians in
clined to stay tariff Legislation. according
as they are for or against the Populists.
Those who hinge their support Of the
Tariff bill on the addition Of the Populistio
principle are betrayers Of the Democratic
party. judged by either Its platform or
history. and the antl-inoome takers are
Democrats.

These are only few Illustrations Of the
sort OF service which the Coast and Geodetic
Survey has rendered TO this community.
II has also provided the State OF New York
with q series OF charts OF her entire coast
line that are unexcelled by those Of any ma
ton on earth. Work like that which has
stimulated our prosperity has been done
for every harbor In the country In proper
ton TO its importance. The charts OF the
Coast aud Geodetic Survey are accepted In
the courts az accurate. Land questions
have repeatedly been settled by reference
TO them. For several years an average OF
10000 persons a year were questioned as to
the accuracy Of these charts. and the result
has shown that they are practically perfect,
though some OF them now need revision.
The same degree OF precision and accu-
racy IL required OF no other Of our scientific
bureaus, and not one Of them is prepared
to-day to carry on the delicate and highly
technical operations Of this Survey with an
equal measure OF efficiency. During the
present session OF Congress several at
tempts have been made to wipe out or dis
member this oldest and most famous Of our
scientific bureaus. One after another they
have failed. but one more bill for the pur-
pose is now before Congress. The scientific
and commercial interests Of the country are
unanimously opposed to any impairment OF
this bureau. to whose skirts no scandal has
ever chung. and whose work is very far
from mpletion. and is Of the highest
value to the whole country.

What L. the Use 2

Divers associations Of Democrats In ILL.,
nois are showing great zeal for the election
Of United States Senators by the people.
They are passing resolutions In favor OF Q
change In the Constitution that will remove
the power OF electing Senators In Congress
from the Legislature and confer 1t upon the
people. Until such change Is authorized.
they favor the nomination Of candidates for
Senator by the State Convention. The no.
ton is somewhat common now, and has
been favorite In Illinois for some time.
Gen. JOHN MCAuLEY PALMRB was NOM
mated In that way. and he succeeded In be-
ing elected after many difficulties.
The change proposed involves q concep-
ton OF the position and representative
power OF Senators In Congress entirely
alien to the purpose OF the makers Of the
Constitution. We need not discuss 1t here.
We merely wish to point out that the cleo
ton Of Senators by direct vote OF the people
would not necessarily make them any more
representative OF. or responsible to, the
people than they are under the present
system. The Democratic Representatives
In the House. for instance. were elected
directly by the people. yet moro than nine
tenths of their number have forgotten or
have no regard for the people. and have
openly repudiated the one great object for
which they were elected. The people told
them to make tariff for revenue only. and
they have made q protective tariff with free
trade lacune. and covered the whole with
the Populist income tax.
This fact alone ls too much for the argu-
ment that Democratic Senators should be
elected By the people.

politics he wishes, II he keeps within the
broad and elastic requirements OF the Law.
He is free agent.
How, then. do the many thousands OF edi-
tors In the United States use this extraor-
binary liberty2 As a body, there lie no
learned profession, however strict Its code
OF ethics and however severe the accounts
billty to which 1t is held by professional rule
and etiquette which lie more faithful to Its
moral obligations than this great multitude
Of editors. or course. there are some swim
dlers and conscienceless scoundrels In their
ranks. but they are few, both comparatively
and actually. not as many relatively.
perhaps, as the unprinclpled quacks
In medicine. the shysters at the bar. and
the reprobates who make the ministrations
Of religion q cloak for wicked purposes
The thousands OF editors are scattered over
the Union, In every community. both great
and small. and more than any other men
they are subject to the constant criticism
Of the community. 30 that their offences
and shortcomings cannot be concealed.
Their very existence depends. In the long
run certainly, on their securing and merit
ing the public respect and confidence.
They are not under the pains and penal
ties OF formal professional code Of ethics.
but OF necessity there prevails among them
q code established by their own condolences
which IL none the less real. and to which
they render voluntary obedience not less
full. There is among them professional
honor as high rs any formulated In the fixed
rule and law for any Of the learned
professions. They hold each other up
to it. and public opinion Judges them
by 1t. The editorial offenders against
this unwritten code are black sheep
even more readily distingulshable from
the rest OF the fraternity than the
charlatans and humbugs In medicine and
the Church; and these disreputable ed
itors are all the more notorious because Of
their rarity. Az whole. the people have
no servants more faithful OF more valu-
able to them than the thousands Of editors
who furnish them with the chief part Of
their reading.
We are sure. however, that all editors will
be thankful for any sincere prayers that
may DO offered up In their behalf. with q
view to obtaining for them greater strength
for the exercise Of their responsible function.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1894-04-18

The Rev. A. q. DIXON interrupted an ex-
hortation to sinners at the revival meeting
at Niblo's Garden on Monday. by praying
for the salvation Of editors.
That was a very proper supplication. for.
next to the Church. the most powerful en-
CINE for good or evil in modern civilization
is the newspaper press. 1t Ii OF the highest
importance to society that editors should
be. first Of all and always. men OF religious
principle. Every newspaper should be a
religious paper. In the sense that 1t obeys
the obligations of religion.
The whole number Of newspapers In the
world Is now estimated ct more than $1,000.
and OF that great total nearly one-half are
published In the United States and Canada.
The combined circulation OF the newspapers
Of this country alone far exceeds the num-
Der of Its churchgoers. Their editors ad-
dress q much greater multitude of people
than the clergy reach In all their services.
They influence vast numbers who are alto
gether outside OF the Church. and who
never listen to the sermons Of its APP
pointed ministers. Even the pres
emit efforts Of the Rev. Mr.. DIXON
and his associates to stir up a revival In
New York depend largely for their success
on the assistance OF the newspapers In
drawing the public attention to them.
without the newspapers to help them they
cannot attract to their meetings the crowds
necessary to generate tine enthusiasm es-
sential TO the prosperity OF their spiritual
enterprise. With the editors working in a
contrary and an evil direction. they would
have opposed to them the most dangerous
enemy In modern society. The most pow
erful ally the devil could get would be the
daily newspapers.
The many thousands OF editors In the
United States are subject TO no other code
OF ethics than that established by their own
conseiences under the pressure Of public
opinion. They do not have TO pass any Of
fetal examination for admission TO their
profession. like that which lawyers must
undergo for admission to the bar. They
are not bound by the oath and the legal re-
strictOns which bind the prsctition-
ers OF medicine. They are under no
authority like that which the Church
exercises over its ministers. There Is
no precise test OF their qualifications
applicable when they undertake to be
editors. and NO court or council Is efh-
powered to determine their fitness or to
punish them for their professional mis-
behavior. Any man can start a newspaper,
II he has money enough 10 pay for its
manufacture. or can get credit for print
ing paper. ink. and type setting; and,
on this condition. he can keep IL

VIII the Jesuits he Allowed TO Teach
in Germany

On Monday the bill repeating the laws
against the Jesuits passed Its third reading
In the Reichstag by majority Of IS. and
will now be submitted for approval or re-
lection to the Bundesrath. or Federal Coun-
Gil Should this body accept the meas
ure the members Of the Society Of Jesus
will be authorized to resume the educa-
tional functions In which they were actively
employed before 1872.
When this bill passed its first reading
some four and a half months ago. we pointed
out that the Governments posture Of tacit
acquiescence was probably the considera-
ton offered by Chancellor CAPRIvI for the
support OF his Army bill by the Poles and q
section OF the Centrists. The fact that the
Government took no part In the debate
was undoubtedly significant. It main
tanned the same non-committal attitude on
Monday. That IL confined itself strictly to
neutrality. however. and made no secret
efforts on behalf of the measure. is clear
from the circumstance that among the
votes recorded against the repeal were
those of the National Liberals. who can
usually be counted on to follow the Chan
oellor. and those OF the Radical Unionists.
who broke with the Richterists In order to
assist In carrying the Army bill. As the Con-
servativss and Imperialists were ranged on
the same side. the chances are that large
majority of Prussia's seventeen votes In the
Bundesrath will be cast against the abOli-
ton OF the anti-Jesuit laws. in which case
1t will be impossible for the Catholics to OBJ
tain the requisite amount OF strength in
the upper House Of the German Parliament.
Should. nevertheless. the Centrists and the
Poles support the tax bills introduced by
Herr MIGUEL for the purpose OF deiraying
the cost OF the recent addition 70 the army.
1t Is possible that the PrusslAn Government
may request its representatives In the
Bundesrath to concur with the Reichstag
In repeating the last remnant Of anti
Catholic legislation.
After the so-ealled FALK laws were passed
some twenty years ago. the German Cath
Olics were welded into q compact political
party under the leadership OF DIR. WISDT-
HORST. which returned about hundred
Deputies to the Rsichstag, and kept an I'M
shakable hold upon the balance OF power,
What the Irish Nationalist under Mr..
PAREELL did in the House OF Commons. the
Catholic or CentTist party effected in the
popular branch OF the German Parliament.
The latter had TO deal with a statesman Of
q temper more infieKible than that OF Mr..
GLADSTONE, yet through their power OF
obstrueting legislation they compelled even
the iron Chancellor to abolish piecemeal
the restrictions which had been voted In
block. and had been proclaimed immutable.
