THE WORK OF ST. JOHNLAND.

Elsewhere in this issue will he found an inter
ssting article descriptive Of st. Johnland, Long
Island. an institution founded by the revered Dr.
Muhlenberg, who also founded the Church of the
Holy Communion and st. Lukes Hospital in
this city, DR.. Muhenberg was n Christian So
cialist long before that term came TO be COM
monty known on this side of the Atlantic and
the good work done by the Society of st. john
land IS. in a measure, the realization of his Idea
Of social obligation as enforced by the Gospel
Of Christ. The objects of the society are TO
maintain home for aged men in destitute cir
cumstanccs, especially Epscopalians; to give a
home. r. , TO friendless children and youth in
which t.y NAV receive Christian education,
and generally to give form and practical appli-
cation 10 the idea of Christian brotherhood The
various inmates of St .Johnland are, in fact, re-
Carde1 az members of an ideal Christian VII
lare. The marks of an institution are almost
wholly absent and the old men are taught not
TO regard themselves as the recipients Of char
ity; but the active and responsible members or
a little Christian commonwealth.
This feature OF ST. Johnland, which d!stin-
guishes II from so many other institutions. was
the basic idea Of DIR. Muhlenberg, who believed
that only thus can the Kingdom Of Christ he
realized in the world. Olner ldedS tlat lie
wished to have carried ont have been found i'm
practlcabe but st. Johnland remains Chris
tian brotherhood so that through 1t its sanity
founder vet delivers message Of sympathy ard
love TO the world. 1t is pleasure to commend
the good work which st. Johnland has been do
ing for the last thirty years, with no flourish Of
trumpets, but with wise sagacity and unfiagging
zeal 1t has made comfortable the declining
years Of many an old man who would otherwise
have been destitute, and has trained a multitude
of bows and girls to he good and useful members
of society At the same time 1T has eliminated
as far as possible the idea that ST. Johnland Is
simply an institution, working with machine
like regularity but also with machine-like IN
difference. Love and sympathy have ever been
important factors in its government. Tt de-
serves, therefore. the generous support Of the
public not only because of the work which it
is doing. but on account OF the way in when it
Is doing that work. And that support, we be-
lieve will be generously given by all 10 whom
its appeal is made.

1.-THE INTEGRITY OF TURKEY"

Mr. George Curzon, the British Under Secrc-
tary for Foreign Affairs, IS regarded rs one or
the ablest young men In Her Majestys service.
He has travelled much acquired vast fund or
information and written some uncOmmonly in
structive books Some of his colleagues say
that instead Of aspiring to omnlscence he condo
sends to It.; bu: that is a bit of good-humore1
bantering which he doubtless enjoys as well rs
the next man. He is unquestionably one OF the
most capable and rising men of his party, and
he has come TO the fore very much in the pres
ent Eastern crisis as the most Outspoken Of all
British defenders of the Concert OF the Powers.
He has now crowned his career, up to date, by
giving TO the world an authoritative exposition
OF the doctrine Of 1.-THE integrity of the Turkish
Empire"-which for nearly fifty years has been
a leading factor in European politics.
The integrity of the Turkish Empire, accord
ing to Mr.. CurZon, does not mean that that En-
pre Is 10 be preserved intact. 1t means, instead,
that It Is TO be divided piece by piece. We may
leave II with the Under Secretary 10 square his
definition with the dictionary. For the present
purpose we may accept it as he gives It. m
tegrity means pecemcai dlsntegratlon. Let us
thank the wise young statesman for teach
ing us that word. And, indeed, his definition
whether 1t squares with the dictionary or not is
in exact accord with the record Of things done
The great Powers decreed in 1871 that ''the in
"tcgrty Of the Turkish Empire must be main
"tained," and at once began to tamper with the
Danubian Prlncpalitles. They formally guar
anteed such integrity In 1856, and three months
later interviewed In Turkish affairs, and four
years later interviewed with arms. Still pledged
TO maintain ITS integrity, they Topped off the
Danublan Provinces from the Empire in 1876
and two years later Cyprus, KarS and Baoum,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, slices Of Eprus and
Albania, Thessaly, and what not else. Truly
integrity has meant division piece by piece.
Well, then, how about the integrity Of what Is
left? Should It not be maintained in the same
way. by progressive amputation? How better
indeed, than by continuing the practice which
has so long and so efficiently prevailed, and TO
which Mr.. Curzon gives the stamp of official au
thority? Lop off Crete for one piece. Slice Off
EpirIs for another. In the name OF integrity
cut off Macedonia for n third Remove Albania
for n fourth All would he in the interest OF
Integrity" as long as the dividing was done
piece by piece and not all in lump. Finally. in
the sacred name of integrity. divide up Thrace
itself until there Is only an inhnitesmal fraction
left Then the doctrine Of integrity may lapse
and the Ottoman Tribe be altogether expelled
from Europe Really it is splendid plan. And
who is trying more earnestly and practically to
execute It than Greece?

TIE CANADIAN TARIFF.

II is not possible as yet to Judge how much ef-
foct the proposed discrimination against the
United STATES in the new Canadian duties will
havc rs 10 some classes. While dispatches
state that It is proposed to make minimum du-
ties - per cent less than those fixed in the reg
ular tariff. in favor Of imports from the coun-
tries which admit canadian exports free or at
reasonable rates." scarcely anything is yet
stated Of the regular duties proposed On such
an article as coal the present duty of 60 cents
being retained, the discrimination Of one-fourth
or u cents would be Of no practical consequence.
and in general it may be said HAT on the more
bulky products, on which the freight from Eu-
rope is large in proportion 10 their value so
small n difference as - per cent Of the duty will
generally be of no avail TO exclude American
or give preference 10 British products.
For IT is obvious that this has been the main
object of the proposed change Of duties. People
of this country have no occasion to comment
upon the consistency Of the Canadian party
which obtained power on platform promising
more liberal tradc with this country. II Is for
the Canadian Government 10 settle that matter
with the constituents who, in some parts Of the
Dominion at least have been intensely anX-
