Schurman On American Greatness

President Schurman of Cornell touched
the quick of the national sensitiveness yes
terday when in the course OF his address 10
the graduating class he said:
Let me speak with the utmost frank
ness. Apart from the domain of politics
and invention. America has not produced
single man or woman whose name VIII
shine in the intellectu armament with
Raphael Shakespeare, Copernicus. Newton
LapIace, Goethe and Darwin. l know we
are a youthful nation. L know the law OF
development is first the natural and then
the spiritual, and our chief business mas
been to clear the continent and make 1t
habitable-'
His plea was for more devoted effort on
the part of the educators of the country to
develop the universities and colleges into
agencies for the cultivation of the higher
thought which alone can produce American
prototypes of the greatest personages OF
the past He spoke in a spirit of hope and
without discrimination in favor of the uni
versity of which he is the head. He will be
challenged on all sides, and with some show
of reason despite the fact that he gave only
a new expression to a thought which has
been uttered by others before him.
There is no reproach to the American ma
tion in the assertion that no men have been
produced equal to those President schur
scanned the centuries for his selections.
The United States has been in existence
now only one hundred and twenty-five
years. The greater part of that period has
been consumed in construction, preserva
tion and expansion. Yet some remarkable
intellects have been produced during these
trying decades. Beyond the domain Of
merely inventive science this country has
demonstrated its capacity. In letters and
in art high ideals have been pursued and
often attained, and our net results have
measured well with those of the countries
| of the old world during the same period.
The test OF intellectual progression is not
by the production of the isolated few who
will forever stand as the worlds great
geniuses but by the proportionate amount
of the worlds work in all lines which
people performs. There is no ground for
pessimism when this test is applied to what
America has done during the decades of
her place in the World family. 1t is we'll
| however. that call should sound for the
elevation of the republics intellectual
ideals.

The Fifteenth Amendment.

The proposition brought forward at Rich
mond yesterday to inaugurate movement
to secure the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States possesses the elements both of
great frankness and of great unwisdom-
Its frankness lies in the confession that
the Virginia convention in the matter of
the suffrage is face to face with the inter-
diction of the national charter relating to
that subject. There is beating about
the bush. The convention is asked to do
what the Constitution forbids. and to do it
openly. The negro. it is held. has shown
himself unfit for the ballot, and therefore
he should be deprived of the right to cast
it, Let 1t be taken from him, and let the
state pay the penalty prescribed. It can
better afford to lose in representative
strength in Congress and in the electoral
college than to longer bear the reproach of
unfair election methods, or tolerate a suf-
frage so seriously tinCtured with ignorance
and incapacity. Meanwhile let an appeal
he made to the country for such change
in the Constitution as will remove the
penalty for performing obvious duty.
Such an appeal. it ought to be plain
enough to everybody. would be the height
of unwisdom. 1t would of necessity reopen
results. and put a premium on passionate
attacks and recrimnations- The period of
reconstruction in particular would be the
parade ground for every mountebank be-
tween the two seas. and the end of it all
would be anger and froth. and the undoing
of the years of good work. of which. de-
spite a thousand difficulties. the country is
enjoying the fruits today in reunion and
brotherly friendship.
1t is but fair to an inferior and unfor-
tunate race to give it the benefit of its best
manifestations. And speaking in the light
of these manifestations. it may be said
that the negroes of today are not the
negroes of the period of 1S6o-70. Many of
them show a remarkable and most worthy
advance in character. capacity, general In
telligence and usefulness. They have earn
estly tried to improve their opportunities.
Many of them at the outset of their citizen
ship fell under malign influences. and gave
strength here and there to corrupt local
government. The great majority of the
race are still all too poorly equipped for
such responsibilities as pertain to citizen
ship in its complete estate. But no race
can afford to be. or should be- tried as q
whole by the standard of its least worthy
contingent; and in reckoning with the
negro now regard should fairly be taken
for him in his best as in his worst form.
II is idle to talk about white supremacy.
That has never been threatened and never
will be. The white man rules by force of
numbers as we'll as by right: and it is his
firm and unshakable hold on power that
imposes on him the duty of making his rule
benefcent for all men,

A Novel Sentence.
From the Minneapolis Times.

Chicago justice Of the peace has SEN
fenced a young man to save $1O0. The
youth was arrested for playing base ball
In the public street and for the added mis-
demeanor Of advising police officer who
objected to go and jump in the river AS
the lad was playing during business hours
the magistrate shrewdly opined that he
was an idler, and hence the sentence. The
culprtt is to report at stated intervals and
exhibit his savings bank account. sentence
to be suspended as long as he shows rea-
sonable progress toward the accumulation
of $19O. The sentence is novelty in petty
criminal Jurisprudence but 1t may be. the
salvation Of the young man. 1t Will be
better for him than workhouse sentence

FROM the New York Mail and Express
Ihe report that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie

Knows him can suppose that this monument.

personal tribute. If it is not to teach

He'll Gate,

After the battle ship Massachusetts, had
safely passed through He'll Gate yesterday
on her way by short cut into Long Island
Sound, an order was issued from the de-
partment in this city that hereafter no
naval vessels of this type and size should
be taken over this same course. The
fact that the Massachusetts went through
without grounding does not weaken the
force OF the departments warning or
der, for there was grave danger at all
times during the passage that she might
rip open her hull On a rock Such an acci-
dent in time of peace is serious enough
In time of war it might be the cause Of 4
loss beyond repair, even approaching the
proportions of great national disaster
The grounding of the Oregon year ago
while she was on the way to China inter-
fered with the American program and
might have proved costly had events taken
a slightly different turn. He'll Gate is
greatly improved over it's former condition.
but it Is even yet susceptible of betterment
There are dangerous reefs in the channels
and the currents ere hard to fight. It is
believed by engin eers that with further ex-
penditure the government can still further
reduce the dangers to navigation, II they

The fact that passenger boats pass through
this treacherous channel daily without mis-

heavy warship grounding while trying to
make time by taxing this course in emer-

from the Brooklyn yard and should be
treated as though some day it might prove
the only means of egress for ships Of war

tain all that is theirs by right. The MEM
bers of the Taft commission and other
Americans in authority In the Philippines
are men of established character, and it is
unfair to impeach them on any religious
ground
1t sounds strange, too, to hear an Ameri-
can priest championing the friars in the
Philippines Surely the Rev. Mr.. Dough
erty has not read the record. 1t is not
composed of hearsay, nor does the testi-
mony come from those opposed to the Ro-
man Catholic communion. The witnesses
who appeared before the Taft commission
and testified the character and con-
duct of the friars were, almost without
exception. members of that church, still
adhering to its faith in spite of the acts Of
the unworthy men who had been represent
ing it in those islands But they consid-
cred that they were serving their church's
best interests in exposing the false shep-
herds. and urging their banishment from
the country.
Roman Catholic missionaries have worked
in America quite as long as they have in
the Philippine Islands. They have shared
with their Protestant brethren in the hard
task of ministering to savage tribes here.
But the record here is very different from
what it Is there. 1t is a shining one In
America, and has received tributes OF
praise even from eminent Protestant
sources. But the record of the Spanish
friars in the Philippines has upon the
whole been a reproach rather than bless
ing to civilization. They have been the
willing tools of a grinding civil power. and
in their own right as we'll have kept their
feet upon the necks of the people.
The interests Of the Roman Catholic
Church in the Philippines cannot suffer IN
the hands of American priests living under
the Stars and Stripes; and the more speed
lily they are transferred to such hands
from the hands of those who have so gross
ly abused their places. the better 1t Will
be for everybody in both countries.

Can Live Anywhere.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

1t was somewhat amusing during the
early days of the American scattering
abroad to hear people talking about the
inability Of an American to live in the
philippines. This too, in face of the fact
that the pioneers reduced malarial districts
on this continent to condition of salub-
rlty, and that some Of our choicest sec
tions Of today were once plague spots from
sanitary point of view.
There is no limit to be placed upon the
aggressive adventuresomeness Of the Amer
lean. He can conquer country without
zero, such as Alaska, or a country with
too much zero. such as the Philippines and
remain always master Of himself and his

of the metropolis itself. Ten millions of
dollars would not be too much to expend
to make this place a safe channel beyond
every possibility. The government has al
ready devoted vast sums to the improve
ment of harbors for this very purpose. just
as it has at enormous cost constructed for

never be used for decades. but which, when
the emergency arrives. will far more than
