Chicago, April 32.-Oficers at Fort
Sheridan are vigorous in the denuncia-
ton of the Women's Christian Tenn
perance union for its work in having
the army canteen abolished. They
say that since the law went into eff
feet there has been more drunken
ness and disorder at the fort than
ever before, and point to instances Of
desertion and almost mutiny to
prove It.

MONDAY, OCTOBER IA, 1901
WALSH,S CAMPAIGN

The Republicans of the second sena-
torial district are called upon this
year to face an unusual condition. Da-
vid 1. Walsh, the Democratic eand1-
date, is making a serious attempt TO
be elected. His success in Clinton has
encouraged him in the belief that he
can secure a majority in that town and
in Ward three of Worcester and win.
Walsh's tactics in the House are
pretty well known all over the state' If
his record as a legislator is compared
with Representative Munroe's, there
can be no doubt about the result. Mr..
Munroe is no demagogue, he is no agi-
tator, he is no fanatic, he represented
in the Legislature the substantial in
terests of his district. If elected sena-
tor he will do the same. He has not
been playing to the galleries.
Representative Walsh believes in po-
litical pyrotechnics. He is young, am
bilious and apt to adopt means that
ought not to be approved by the voters
of the district.

PRACTICAL TRAINING
FOR DIVINITY STUDENTS

Beginning with this year a new
system of ministerial education has
| been introduced into the Yale Divinity
! School. Dean Sanders has appointed
| Edgal l.. Heernance, a recent grad
uate director of religious work. His
whole duty is to supervise new sys-
| TEN of practical religious work to be
done by the students under eye of the
pastors and mission workers of the
city. Says the Congregationalist:
HE (Mr. Heernance) will take every
means of knowing the men, interview
all the pastors and secure their CO.
! operation, collate all the suitable OPEN
ings for work, not including teaching,
but the more distinctly pastoral forms
of work with afford personal contact.
| No financial aid whatever is now given
to students by the seminary, but the
| opportunity is offered to all to earn a
general scholarship by a specific num-
Der of hours of religious work each
week. This work is done with pastor,
| as in the early days of ministerial
training. In consideration of the work
thus given, the pastor agrees to give
his service of consultation and to re-
port to the seminary specifically upon
its effectiveness The seminary is to be
brought into the closest possible touch
with the local pastors and missions for
the mutual benefit of all concerned. The
religious power of the whole institu-
ton is to be given to the community
in the most systematic and effective
way that can be devised
THE needed opportunity will here be
given for the young minister to study
types of religious experience types of
character such as he will be called
upon to minister to, problems of per-.
sonal and parish work, and ala this
under the guidance of an experienced
pastor, and in the course of actual
religious work, not in a museum or
public institutions for abnormals The
young pastor will not find himself in
his first parish totally Impractical in
those ministrations which are of the
deepest concern, and the possibility
will be removed of his receiving in the
seminary a training which is purely
doctrinaire, and out of touch with the
throbbing life of humanity. Inciden-
tally the problem of beneficiary aid
has been solved at a single stroke, and
the health and tone of the whole in
stitution elevated
The result of this experiment will be
watched with interest, not only for its
effects upon the students themselves,
but for what it may do for the city of
New Haven. New Haven is not the
worst city in New England, neither is
it the best. The divinity students will
certainly have a suitable enough field.

AMERICAN TRAVELLER REJUDeED

Formerly the English made a great
DEAL Of fun over American globe
arotters." The idea prevailed to a
considerable extent that citizens of the
United States came to England out of
idle curiosity and that they were bent
on making themselves conspicuous by
the display OF wealth and by noisy
Wanting Of this and that. But now
the English having modified their
opinion Of Americans in many respects,
there IS a tendency to judge more
1eniently the aims and purposes of the
Americantraveler. Awriter in the Spec
tator recently intimatedthat the English
owe a great deal to the fondness of
their American cousins for going
abroad. The writer finds that they
are really interested in historical study.
and not unfrequently are capable Of
teaching Englishmen a great many
things about their country, and the
Londoners much about London.
ITO be candid" the writer says. "the
intelligent and energetic American WISH
tor has opened up historical England
as # had never been opened up before
he began to travel"
According to she same authority the
Americans have been diligent in seek
ing the places that were the ancestral
homes Of great Americans, and have
also been enthusiastic about visiting
the places made famous by British

COMMUNICATIONS

To the Editor of The Spy:
Your correspondent Truth" asks me
to go to Holy Cross College and spend
one year with the senior class. This:
is just what 1 should like to do; but
Truth" does not say what a salary
I might expect. l am willing, however,
to teach this class for $4,000 a year to
start with, and if Truth" can get me
the job I will make it right with him.
Before putting him to the trouble
of using his influence on my behaf, !
think it will do to name the other con-
ditions on which I would accept the
position. I should wish to conffne my
instruction to the following subjects:
for the first year, at any rate
The science of ethics; laying partic-
ular stress upon the fundamental dis
tinction between the morally right and
the morally wrong-a distinction which,
I'll wager my boots, Truth does not
know.
Next: Mental philosophy; with spec
ial emphasis on the nature of the hui
man will-something which, I'll bet a
button, Truth" is not posted on.
Next: The new psychology. which is
absolutely essential to the man who
would understand the human mind
something, I'm certain, Truth" is not
conversant with.
Next: Biology without which neither
the physical nor spiritual life of men
can be comprehended.
Next: Sociology, without knowledge
of which, it is impossible to think
sense or talk sense on any question of
great moment.
Next Political Economy, a science
that is indispensable to anyone who
hopes to be of service to his race in
the present day.
When the senior class at Holy Cross
has gone through these courses its
members will have forgotten a good
deal about Plato and st. Thomas, but
they will have learned a prodigious
amount about the thoughts and things
and conditions of the twentieth centu-
ry They will have thrown off the
chains of arbitrary authority that have
bound Truth and rendered him i'm
potent to help in the solution of the
social problems that are calling aloud
for men of trained and Independent in
telligence.

A VIEW OF THE CONGRESS
OF FRENCH-AME RICANS

The Congregational comments edi-
torially on the difficulties of race feel
ing as shown in the French-American
Congress held recently in Springfield,
in which Worcester's French popula-
ton was deeply interested. The re-
suits which the Congress accomplished
and the purposes for which it was call
led are thus summed up:
After Affirming our unalterable de-
Votion to the American republic and
our filial devotion to the Catholic
Alurch," and favoring the federation
of societies, the resolutions urge natur-
alization and participation in politics;
declare the absolute necessity for main
tenance of parochial schools where both
French and English shall be taught,
and That they should be made more
etncient so as to prepare their pupils
for the high schools; and complain of
the policy which fails to give the
trench-speaking people priests of their
own race and tongue in the parishes
where they are in a majority. I'VE
claim the right" the resolutions de-
clare. ito be ministered to by priests
of our own nationality, not from a ra-
cial standpoint, but because the inter-
est of religion imperatively demands
it. There is some confusion of terms
in these debates and resolutions, but
the meaning is clear. Canadian FASH
ion, these good neighbors of ours do
not think of American life as a solvent
of nationalities with the result of Civ
ing the world a unified people AS in
Canada, they mean that their people
shall live apart, with different interests
and ambitions. They do not realize
that they are condemning themselves
and their children to isolation and con-
sequent weakness by holding them to
a foreign tongue and foreign ideals.
The spirit of the age will be too strong
for them. They can only be powerful
in America by becoming American. But
the, process of their evolution, shown
already in their resolutions. is of the
highest interest"

NAVIGATING THE RAPIDS

Possibly an excursion through the
Lower Rapids of Niagara Falls may be
one of the amusements open to Wis
itors some day. 1t probably would not
appeal to any save those who take de-
light in the numerous devices for Civ
ing one a thorough jolting and shaking
1t would, no doubt, be vastly more ex-
citing than Looping the Loop" in the
process of which the passenger is made
to stand on his head, while Shooting
the Chute" would be tame fun beside
it.
Think of gliding down the swirling
waters of the Gorge, and bounding over
those angry and green crested waves
in safety That is what Peter Nissen
of Chicago, did on Saturday, when he
traversed the Whirlpool Rapids in a
boat, twenty-one feet long. He start
ed from a point near the falls, re-
manned on deck until the boat reached
the first strong eddies of the Rapids,
and then retired inside and closed the
hatch. A few minutes later the craft
was rolling and tossing, often showing
the red paint with which its bottom
is covered. The experience of the
freshman, tossed in a blanket by the
sophomores, mildly suggests the shak-
ing Nissen received. But he stood it
well and when the boat tumbled into
the Pool and reached calm water he
raised the hatch and waved greeting
to the people on shore.
Nissen's boat is of four feet beam and
is provided with a twenty-eight inch,
four-bladed propeller. 1t draws nearly
four feet of water and is divided into
five compartments. There are two
headlights which allow a little light to
enter the engine room when the hatch
is closed. The craft, complete, weighs
between four and five tons. In the
voyage of Saturday power was not
used Apparently the course of the
boat was directed chiefly by the
current
Because his boat was equipped with
steam power, it was necessary for Ms
sen to get a license, and the boat is
registered as a pleasure launch. He is
permitted to carry with him one pas
senger. It is not stated that he is
overwhelmed with applications for pas
cage.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

The most essential preliminary to the
construction of the trans-isthmian
canal is that all diplomatic obstacles
shall be cleared away. There is now
every prospect that this viii have been
done, so far as the state department
can do it. by the time Congress meets
in December. Great Britain is evident
" prepared to abandon the Clayton
Rulwer treaty and leave to the United
States alone the maintenance of the
neutrality of the canal. Half a century
ago. when the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
was entered into, a joint agreement
was plainly to our advantage 1t
strengthened our hands. But today we
are strong enough to enforce our
agreement without foreign support
and the Clayton Bulwer treaty actually
hampers instead of helps up.-Phila-
