SECT4PIAN APPROPRIATIONS.

Just what chance there is for the passage Of
Mr.. Martins bill to give the private and sec
tartan schools a chance TO share in the public
school fund We do not know. 1t would natu-
rally he supposed that there no chance
whatever for it's being made a law, but the
experience Of last year. when a similar scheme
was smuggled into the new charter and would
have been fixed in the statute book except for
the influence of the Governor, who secured the
repeal of this and several other jobs in that in
strument. suggests that it is we'll TO be watch
full. There is no telling what may slip through
a legislature in the crowded hours at the close
of a session.
The people of New-York have too long been
opposed to the diversion of public money TO
private and sectarian schools knowingly TO con
sent to a change of policy now Any such diver
sion of funds means a weakening of the public
school system and State patronage of classes
However excellent private schools may he, the
State cannot undertake to furnish money for
them without establishing a principle which
would compel it to build up schools for every
sect which. from prejudice or for purposes of
religious propaganda, undertook 10 isolate its
children from the rest of the community. That
means the separation Of the people into mutual
ly jealous classes. and the end of that common
association of children. regardless of race or
faith, which has done much to asSimilate
our diverse elements into one people.
The argument is made that the bill would
raise the standard of private schools by forcing
them TO have teachers up to the public school
standard a condition of sharing the public
money. That provision wotd promote discord
far more effectually than 1t would raise teach
ing standards. If the public school authorities
in this city should refuse to accept as up TO the
standard teachers in a private school, particu
larry if they belonged To any religious order
they would Immediately be plunged into a sec
tartan quarrel. 1t would be said that the re-
lection was due TO prejudice, and, no matter
what the facts might be. hundreds of honest
people would firmly believe that their school,
church society was being prosecuted. The
only way TO keep church and state separate
and avoid all the inevitable complications of
connection is TO keep them separate. The way
10 maintain the public school system intact is
to maintain it. Those who for any reason, so
cal or religious. prefer private schools are priv
ileged to use them, but certainly the State itself
should not discredit its own system. There ere
too many children out of school and waiting foT
places in public schools who demand all the
money it can spend for education.

nation. Prince Henry's coming is reminder
of and an unmatched tribute to the greatness of
the German element in this American nation
and TO the greatness of the part which it has
played in national development We have
referred to Steuben and De Kalb. But even
greater deeds than theirs in war have their
myriads of countrymen done in peace. Second
only to the British. the largest element of our
composite population is the German. We say
largest numerically. But If apply Emer-
sons test. and reckon them not merely by the
census. but by the kind Of men they are, we
shall find our fellow citizens of German origin
all the more securely confirmed in their stand
ing. They are TO be found in all parts of the
republic in city and in country. in the learned
professions in business life and in indusrlal
pursuits. And wherever they are, they are a
concrete ana active force that makes for stabll-
ity. for progress. for enlightenment and for the
best qualities of national life.
These millions of Americans OF German an
cestry welcome Prince Henry with pecullar
warmth. and the recognition of their civic ana
social worth moves all other Americans or
whatever remote origin. to join in that welcome
The same circumstance will doubtless make
Prince Henry feel in an especial degree at home
in the United States. He will here be in the
largest German population outside of Ger
many. and visit one of the largest German cities
in the world. Happily. the same fact in the
highest degree confirms his peaceful errand. and
gives hostages TO the immeasurahle future
against any unfriendly conflict between the re
public and the empire. We speak of this coun-
try as great division Of the Anglo-SaxOn race,
which can never again he unfriendly with the
other great branch Of that race. That is quite
true But this is also the greatest branch Of
| the German race outside of the parent stock in
Europe and that fact hespeaks perpetual amity
between branch and stem Moreover. the
Anglo Saxon race Is itself only a branch of the
one great Teutonic stock whence also the Ger
man nation of to-day is sprung. II is thus not
only as distinguished guest that Prince Henry
is to be greeted. He comes TO us as our own
kin. separated from Us by nothing hut the acci-
dent of geography and by the artifcialities OF
politics

PRTNCE ND PEOPLE.

Prince Henry of Prussia is expected to reach
this port to-day. He will be a welcome visitor.
he will be greeted with unaffected cOrdiality by
this city. by this State and by this nation His
welcome will be general and heartfelt for a
multiplicity of reasons. Our people have never
been lacking in hospitality. They have received
and entertained many eminent guests from
other lands. some for one reason, some for an
other Seldom have they received one with as
many or as strong claims upon their affectOnate
hospitality as those which Prince Henry pos
sesses. Subjectively and objectvely-if we may
use the phrases of philosophy on such an occa-
sion-for his own sake and for ours. and for the
sake of what he represents. he is to he well
coined with hand and with heart. Inclement
weather. disturbed conditions of the highways
and all other untoward details should serve only
as foils, against which the peoples greeting 10
the peoples guest will seem the more genial
and more perfect.
The Prince will he welcomed for his own sake
for his individual worth as man. for his quail
ties Of mind and heart which would make him
respected and loved in cabin as well as in
palace He will be welcomed for what he rem
-esents-for whom he represents He repre-
sents his brother, the sovereign of one of the
greatest and friendliest nations in the world
That is nation some Of whose honored sons
save lnValuaDie help In the founding of our
own. The kingdom which gave us Steuben. the
empire which gave De Kalb. can always
command our gratitude. 1t is a nation with
which our relations have invariably been
friendly, never more so than at the present
time. He comes as the representative of that
friendship, felt we may. well believe by En-
peror and by people AS a worthy messenger
of peace and goodwill between the nations he
is welcome and thrice welcome.
Nor is that all We shall not violate courtesy
and cordiality in declaring that some of the
highest significance of this royal visit, and some

LORD ROSEBERYs ULTIu4TrN.

Lord ROsehery again shows that he possesses
the full courage of his convictions. His note
worthy speech of a few weeks ago unjust
ly criticised by some for vagueness No one
can make such complaint of his letter in The
London Times" He frankly and finally sep
arates himself from that section of the old Lib
eral party of which Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman is leader That is not the whole Lib
eral party. but it is the major part of it, and
it is, moreover, the only regular organization"
Practically. therefore Lord ROsebery has de
livered an ultimatum to the party of which he
the leader, requiring it either to
nOunce it's present leadership and reorganize
itself else 10 count him henceforth among
its opponents.
Generally speaking. the party which Glad
stone first created and finally disrupted should
not acluieSce in such intimated dicyaton. There
were many years in its history when it would
have Indignantly babe the deliverer of such
an ultmatum to do his worst But the party has
fallen into evil ways and on evil days. 1t can
not we'll afford TO part company with one of its
foremost and abest men and with his numer-
Gus and influential following. all the more so
since it would have remaining no leader of
real efficiency or promise, nor any issues on
which TO make a hopeful appeal for popular
support
1t would not be surprising, therefore 10 see
a large detection from the Campbell Banner
man faction to Lord Roseberys Standard; so
large TO leave the former a mere ''rump'
and make the latter the centre Of a reviviied
Liberal party. If not, we may be prepared to
see still further acceSsons to the LiberalU Mon
ist wing of the Government party, and the
wreck of Liberalism become even more disas-
trously complete than it now is

RIOTS N SPAIN

Discomfort in Spain has risen to the boiling
point over fires fed by factional hate and by
the abhOrrent forces of disorder which are ever
ready 10 improve an opportunity. There is no
doubt that real and we'll founded dsappOint-
ment exists in Spain at the failure of the gov
ernment to institute reforms which should en-
able the country to rise from the ruins of war
into new and better life. Some reforms have
been effected; but. on the whole. affairs have
been going on IN much the same old way. plus
the added burdens bequeathed by the war. 1t
is a strong touch of the hand of Nemesis that
plunges Spain into disorder arising from indus
trial evils. after long a series of revolts in
Cuba arising from the same source and that
source the work of Spain.
In addition, however, to the manifestation of
legitimate discomfort there are now more vi0-
lent and utterly unjustifable proceedings which
may make it necessary TO govern the whole
kingdom by martial law for an indefinite time
These latter are the work of anarchists and
other stormy petrels of society. who instfnc-
lively flock to every scene of contention as kites
flock 10 carriOn. The deplorable feature of the
case is that these will discredit the whole nove.
ment so that needed reforms for redressiDg
real grievances Will he lost sight of in the need
for stern repression of crime The same thino
has occurred here and elsewhere. and will CON
tinue 10 occur and 10 do mischief until work
ingmen learn that apostles of disorder are their
worst enemies.

AUTOMOBILISMUS.

The coroner's jury on Monday exonerated the
automobile driver whose machine had. some
days before. run down and killed a boy on Con
vent-ave. This result of the inquest was cX-
pected, and was doubtless appropriate There
was never any thought that the driver in Ques-
ton wantony reckless. or careless of hui
life. He tried-though vainly, and per-
haps only after it too late-to avoid the
catastrophe, and upon its occurrence he acted
the manly part of stopping his machine and
surrendering himself 10 the processes of law
He unfortunate. not malicious His one
fault in the matter, we have already pointed
out, in running his vehicle more rapidly
than the law permits, though its speed was not
nearly as great as that at which many auto
mobiles driven on our streets. 1t is quite
possible that the accident would have occurred
just the same If he had been driving it well
within the legal limit In that case his con-
duct would have been free from question. aud
he would have been spared some compuncrions
and self-reprOacheS
BY an interesting though by no means ex-
traordinary coincidence. on the very dav on
which this driver thus exonerated several
men were arragned in various police courts
charged with driving automobiles at excessive
speed; in one case with thus causing serious
and perhaps dangerous injuries to pe,les
trates imposed fines upon all the prisoners
save the two charged with the more grave Of
fence, who were placed under heavy bail to
await the result of the injuries TO their vic
tim. Every days experience emphasizes the
need of dealing sterny with all such offenders
for. as a matter of fact, the misuse of auto
mobiles seems to be increasing rather than
diminishing and vigorous measures are neces
sary if the public highways are to be kept
safe for public use The excuses given by the
Offenders are usually themselves aggravations
OF the misdemeanOr. One says he did all he
could 10 avoid accident. though he admits that
he was driving at unlawful pace Another
who was also driving too fast says he blew n
horn, and that the man who was run down
should have needed it and got out of the way.

The fact is that a certain portion OF the COM

Those afflicted with it seem to think that they
own the earth and that all others should
promptly get off it, They think the public

that fever ran its course and subsided. Instead
of being a fad and a craze the bicycle has
become thing of rational and practical utility,
and more people are walking, and are riding
and driving horses, than ever before. SO will
it be with automobilismus. Like all acute
fevers. it will run its course and subsde. Men
will realize what guys they have been max

President Eliot of Harvard University delivered
an address yesterday TO the students at the POLY
technic Preparatory School. in BROOKLYN on Eft
fectve Speech in Public" He recommended to the
boys a careful study of elocution and more par
ticuarly a cultivation Of argumentative mowers
which went hand in hand. He said that many of
the most prominent public speakers while appar-

really reciting carefully memori'ed speech which
they had spent hours in composing and revising
He took up the subject of personal heroism saying
that the valor in the every day life OF physicians
hremen and engineers was greater than that OF
the soldier on the field Of battle. for the latter
had the inspiration OF a mass while the former
were alone. In referring boys who are de-
prived of college training he said its absence was
no proof of an incomplete education. He spoke of

his profession to be desirable teacher
