pRTSSJA AND THE POLES.

Fragments of the Polish people, in all Euro
pean lands seem to have Joined in move
ment which is causing Prussia much disquiet.
Men of repute and intellectual force, such
as Henry SienkiewicZ, are at the head OF
It, Its means not violent and It's aims are
not unlawful. Its programme is for the Poles
wherever scattered, to cherish their language
md religion and TO work together for indus
trial and financial progress. Posen, which Is
almost a holy city" to the Poles, is the centre
of the movement In the surrounding country
the Prussian Government some years ago strove
10 plant and cherish German colonies. But the
Poles have shown themselves the more indus
trous and the more shrewd in business, and
thus have crowded the Germans out and made
the province more exclusively Polish than ever.
Now the government is making It's campaign
through the schools and is trying to urge the
German language upon Polish children, in both
secular and religious instruction. 1t will be
recalled that Cossack soldiers used to apply the
knout and bayOnet to wOrshipperS at the affairs
of Polish churches with the adjuration, If you
want to talk to God. talk to Him in Russian.
The Prussians do not go far, but content
themselves with urging upon the Poles that
they can pursue religious studies ana worship
i'm German as well as in Polish Indeed, lhe
Poles themselves have gone to the greater ca
treme for some of the worst OF the recent trou-
BILE was caused by the Obstreperousness OF
woman who insisted that her children must
hear the Gospel read In school in Polish since
that was the language in which Jesus talked!
People who have the physical and intellectual
vitality which the Poles now show should De d
valuable factor in a nations greatness Ihere
ought to be some way in which Prussia can
profit from Polish progress and thus afford TO
encourage it, instead of repressing 1t. Con
glomerate realms are not always harmonious
nor always discordant. In Austria-Hungary
are TO be seen examples Of both failure ana
success in placing diverse nationalities under
single general government. Probably some bet
fer course can be found in Prussia than that OF
crushing the aspirations and checking the
progress of people possessed of so many me
nnnlties.

SOUND, STRONG MATERIAL.

The astonishing growth in the ranks of anna
teur athletes and the development of interest in
everything pertaining to honorable sport are
shown impressively by the figures of the mem
bership of the foremost athletic club of this
metropolis This organization has : homo
rary members 476 life members, 2SO2 resident
members, 5l5 nonresident, 81 army and navy
members and go Juniors. This makes a total
membership of 3sS7 and the financial condition
OF the club is excellent.
Even Kiplng might not withhold from 1t n
bayeaf OF praise, for it Is wholly vacant OF
"hanneiled fools" at wickets and 'muddied oafs
at goals" If its young men were called upon 10
shoot or ride or to fight for the flag OF their
country, they would be swift and straight and
sure in their shooting their riding and their
flghting Our athletic clubs are made up of
good, sound stuff

AGREEMENT on ARBITRATION.

The Pan-American Congress has yindicated
the confidence Of its friends and has grievousiy
disappointed It's foes. We need not now again
rehearse the tale OF evil prophecies concerning
it-that il would never meet, that 1t would
break up Immediately after organizing. that
the delegates of this, that or the other country
would withdraw. that there would never be
agreement upon the paramount issue of arbi-
ustion, ct cetera. ad nauseam. There were at
times no doubt. some unpleasant symptoms
and we cannot say that all the countries in the
congress acted at all times as reasonably as
might have been wished. Nevertheless. we have
never lost hope that in the end 1.-The common
sense of most would assert itself and would
prevail, for the good of all concerned To-day
that hope seems TO be realized. Largely, as it
appears, through the diplomatic agency of one
OF the United States delegates. modus vivendi
has been reached, and working agreement has
been concluded between the TWO differing par
ties upon the crucial issue Of arbitration.
Details aside. two salient facts dominate the
case One is that Chill has receded from her
III taken ground of opposition 10 any practical
and free consideration of arbitration We were
never fully prepared 10 believe that enlight-
ened and powerful a state could act so I'M
worthily as 10 run away before discussion of
arbitration or as TO insist upon the gaggng of
q deliberative assembly of peers AS matter
of fact, arbitration has, because of such tenta-
tive opposition as Chill manifested, actually
been more discussed than il would otherwise
have been. And Chilli has apparently yielded
the one point upon which she was supposed
TO be most resolute. For the Convention of
The Hague is not sicklied DER with the pale
cast of postponement. 1t does not, of course
call for retroactive" arbitration. No man in
his senses ever thought of such thing in
South America elsewhere. But neither are
It's benefeent applications restricted to what
Lowell aptly termed the 'paulo-post-future" 1t
is emphaticaliy a thing OF present utility, appi-
cable to controversies now existing. Thus, TO
make a concrete example the arbitration to
which Chilli now assents could not reopen the
definite settlements which were made years
ago at the close of the with Peru 1t could
not challenge the validity of the Treaty of
Ancon. But it could operate for the determi-
nation of any controversies as yet unsettled, or
for the Interpretation of any provisions of the
Treaty Of Ancon which may yet remain unful-
filed.
The other salient fact is that the American
republics have not only agreed among them.
selves, but have also placed themselves exactly
in line with the great powers of Europe which
have been wont to regard them superciliousy
IL not contemptuously. Too often our European
friends have referred to the Central and South
American peoples as lesser breeds. without the

4 SERTOTS CHARGE.

II is a matter of municipal history. the evil
dence Of which Is incontrovertible, that when
Mr.. Croker became n member Of the Board or
Aldermen In the early years Of his political
career he pledged himself over his signature to
obey the orders of that Tweed intrguer and
adiutant. Prince Harry Genet. That is
matter OF record.
But that does not alter the fact that If Sheriff
Guder of Kings County entered into an agree
ment to take orders from any boss he would be
unworthy Of the office which he holds. Con
vlncing proofs or disproofs OF the charges
against him are loudly called for and rightly.
