P. C. Knox Of Pittsburg, Pa,
is now attorney general in Mr.
McKinley's cabinet. Perhaps
Mr.. Knox can explain why he
resigned as attorney for the steel
trust at a salary of $4,000 a
year and accepted a position in
the cabinet paying only $4,000 a
year. Such action has a sus-
picious look, to say the least.

Won Stradonitz of the University of Berlin, COM
menting upon Carneges offer of $Iooooooo for edu-
cation at Washington, is reported to have said
Americans must begin guard against the danger of
fostering higher education at the expense of the
practical Intelligence of the people, and to have
added: I'VE suffering from it in Germany. We
are burdened with unproductive class who look
with inherited scorn on those whose education has
been merely in the art of bread-winning. The evil
manifests itself in Germany by the existence of an
idle element which, lacking any other occupation
serves the recruiting sergeant of the enemies Of
social order. The fundamental feature of American
schooling preliminary fitting for men and women
in lfe's battles is truly the Darwinan principle, and
it finds a splendid vndication in the strength of
Americas position in the world to-day. Mr.. Car
neges technical school endowments showed that he
was fully in harmony with the American spirit, but
his latest proposal | am unable to commend"
The warning coming from such a source is interest
ing, but it is not likely to alarm any considerable
number OF Our people. 1t is true the endowments OF
Our universities very large and increas-
ing at extraordinary rate but the country is large
and the population is increasing Moreover, the op-
portunities to make of the highest education
abundant 1t is going to be long time before the
United States will have to complain of the burden"
OF too many learned men.

MARooNI AND THE GABLES

I 7 ARDLN more attention has been given in the
East to the marvel OF Mareoni's dispatch OF
wireless message across the ocean than to
the action of the Anglo American Cable Company in
informing him that the company has exclusive rights
in the operation Of ocean telegraph stations in New
oundand and that he must cease making his expert
ments there. The action has been taken as an evil
dence that the cable company recognizes potent
rival in the Marconi system and is desirous of pro-
tectng its monopoly in the island as fully possible
during the two years it will remain in force
Marconi has expressed the conviction that it will
be easy to arrange terms with the cable company,
but in good many quarters it is believed that not
only the Anglo-American but other cable companies
will fight the advance of wireless telegraphv bv
every means in their power
Over that issue warm controversy has arisen 1t
is asserted on one side that should Marconi establish
wireless telegraphc communication across the ocean
the system would not be successful rival to the
cables because of the length it takes to send
wireless message and the liability of the system to
! frequent Interruptions and disturbances On the
other hand it is said the Marcon system can be oper
ated cbeaply it will be possible for the managers
to prohtaby transmit messages across the ocean for
one cent word 1t is argued that stch competition
will force the cable companies reduce prices even
if they continue to hold the bulk of the commercial
business that requires quicker dispatch than Marcon
can give
1t will be that neither side takes into account
the possible and even probable Improvement of the
wireless system until it reaches degree of perfec
ton that it transmit messages as rapidly as by
wire That probability however is that the cable
companies have not overlooked At any rate the ac-
ton of the Anglo-Am Company has given no.
tce to the world that it looks upon the Marconi tele
graph as rival in even its present experimental
stage, and consequently the public will be justified in
reaching the same conclusion.

HIGHER EDUCATION.

A CCORDING 10 figures complied by the Phil
IA adephia Press the gifts to educational insttu-
tons this year will be in the neghborhood of
$4,000, 600 The banner year for such gifts in the
past was 1899, when the total reached the sum of
S5sooo,ooo In the compilation of the Press the re-
cent gift to Stanford University is put down at
SI5oooooo the estimate being that such sum repre-
sented the increase ON the endowment originally
made by the founders. The gift of Mrs Stanford
thus ranks the largest Of the year Carnegie's Of
fer of $ooooooo to found institution for research
at Washington takes second place, and the gift of
Rockefeller Of $5ooo,ooo to the University of Chi
cago holds third place
The New England States get large proportion of
the total gifts Boston gets $25ooooo to found the
Simmons chronological school for women. Clark
University it is estimated will get about $4,000 900
when the estate left by the founder is settled I'D.
Brown University gets 81 100000, and Harvard and
Yale each receive than that sum- so that even
were the smaller donations to the minor colleges to
be omitted, the increase of the New England educa-
tional endowments would be notable and impressive
The North, the East and the West have thus been
generously and munfcently provided for during the
year. but the South receives little That fact is due
of course to the lack Of wealth in the Southern
States. When the South has mllionaires it cannot be
doubted they will prove equally liberal in promoting
education, and fortunately the number of rich men in
the South is increasing rapidly The manufacturing
industries that are springng up in all parts of that
section will produce wealth for the South lust as
similar industries produced it in the North, and con
sequenty the time is far distant when the yearly
summary of mgni6cent gifts to education will he
augmented by gifts in the South as well as in other
sections OF the Union.
While we thus rapidly increasing our educa
tional facilities and are congratulatng ourselves
upon the fact warning comes from Germany.

fused than in any other country in the world DR.

FOREIGNERS AND THE LAW.

TT TOWEVER strongly intelligent Americans
RI may be inclined to support their own country
right or wrong in controversy with a for
eign power, it will not be easy for them to deny the
justice Of the claim the Italian Government is now
making at Washington with respect to the lynching
OF certain Italians in Colorado Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi The claim is the simple that since
Americans in Italy have all the protection the Italian
courts can give, Italians in this country should have
protection from the Federal courts since it is the
Federal Government which makes the treaties under
which they come here.
In a statement of his side of the question
the Italian ambassador said: I'm the case of Italians
residing in the United States the treaty assures them
the same rights and protection given to American
citizens. But, unfortunately this expression of the
treaty, so far it relates to Italians in this country
IS somewhat theoretical for under the American sys-
tenn, which limits the Federal authority over States
the central government is not able to give effect to
the guarantee laid down by the treaty We fully rec
ognize the difficulties of this situation which have
been apparent the statesmen of this country as
they have to those Of Italy We have hoped this
would bring about the enactment of law which
would permit the Federal Government to carry out
the guarantees of the treaties"
Under ordinary circumstances there would be no
sympathy among Americans with any effort made by
foreign power to induce us to change our system
OF doing justice, We we'll content with Our
method OF leaving life and property to the care OF
the States rather than burdenng the Federal courts
with them except where the wrong done is in viola
tion OF Federal statute Upon the subject OF lynch
ing, however, likely to be tolerant of any sug
geston from any that tends to put an end to
It. Lynch law has now become so prevalent that it
constitutes OF the serious evils of the time
In several of the States the courts are unable to ef
iectiyely deal with it, Consequently anything which
will bring ynchng gang to answer to Federal
authority instead of State authority will be widely
approved
There is show of reason in the claim OF the
Italian Government that the Federal courts should
have power to enforce Federal treaties and is to
be hoped Congress can provide some method Of
granting the power

AN ENGLISH VIEW.

THE principal American opponents OF law to
recreate our merchant marine are connected in
L some way with the British ship builders and
owners and are concerned in the prosperity Of the
British OF the ships which carry the most Of
our deep water commerce.
They have just been reinforced by an interview
given the Cincinnati Enquirer by Sir Christopher
Furness the largest ship-bulder and ship-owner in
the world
Sir Christopher is visiting this country in connec-
ton with his interest in copper properties and while
at New Orleans in his private sought opportunity
TO make public his opinions in opposition to the
proposition protect shipbuilding in this country
until get enough bottoms under own flag to
carry our own commerce. He said: 1T could GER
tainly serve useful purpose to subsidze passen-
ships. They cannot be depended to extend the
commercial relations OF the country, To subsidze
them would be of'no use whatever TO American
commerce. On the other hand If subsidies we're ex-
tended 10 cargo vessels only such course would not
be beneficial to commerce, and think would only
increase the OF freight shippers by giving such
a large margin OF profit in prospect that It would
encourage extravaganza IN expenditures and enervate
the business"
These views oi Sir Christopher arc being seized
upon as material in The campaign against an Ameri-
can merchant marine. But no one has so far shown
gentleman who is interested on the other side of the
question He refers 20 the cheapncss OF our steel
for building and the advantages we have for con-
Structon. But the difficulty does lie in the price
of material nor is Il incident 10 the mechanics of
construction. II is in the cost OF operating Amer-
can built and registered ships after they arc built
Even if admit that higher wages to ship
building mechanics do not figure against construc-
ton, because Of their greater skill and productive
power, the fact remains that in operating ships the
higher wages paid to American seamen do put our
merchant marine at decided disadvantage
The same issue is carried into the shipping busi-
ness that prevails throughout industrial system
The American wage scale leads the world and Amer
leans insist that it shall be maintained If be de-
sirabe that flag float sea over American ships
they must have a measure of that protection which
has given rs industrial independence on the land
or the first inroad be made in the American
wage scale. We must reconquest our carrying trade
at the expense Of the American sailor or by the Joint
encouragement OF the whole people
