Beautiful service.

New York Mail and Express.
why do not workingmen 60 to church,
That is a question which certain pastors
Rave been trying to find an answer to, by
the aid Of a systematic inquiry-a sort Of
personal canvass. The answer to IL seems
at first blush to be decidedly easy. Work
ingmen do 60 to church. All workingmen
do not 90, to be sure, but millions do.
Church attendance is no more a matter Of
class than labor itself is. Nearly all Amer
leans are decidedly workers. Possibly IT
should be explained that the inquiry was
directed toward clearing up the point why
so many manual laborers abstain from
church attendance. That makes the propo-
sition considerably simpler; and yet It is
in no sense surprising that the inquirers
found themselves completely baked. The
workmen who did not go to church hardly
knew, themselves. why they did not go, ex-
cept that they did not care to.
The futility OF such personal inquiry
ought to suggest itself, perhaps. by this
time. Religious people are agreed that, II
great numbers OF people do not wish to
go to church. it is desirable to make them
wish to go by rendering the services more
attractive to them. Out of this conclusion
many Lndignihed proceedings have sprung.
"hANAf NhSNth NV Mos nav
passing crowds. must in the long run have
operated to make still more people feel
that they did not want to 60 to church.
Among such meretricious attractions ought
TO be classed the girl whistlers and their
solos. and all sorts of mountebank per-
formances and utterances in the pulpit and
out Of L.. These aids are to be classed,
roughly of course. with yellow journalism.
Their purpose is to excite peoples curiosity
to make them come to see what the err
ratio minister or the fantastic choir
master is going to do next.
The old-fashioned way of making people
want to go to c~hurch-the method of Civ
ing them a simple, earnest, beautiful serv-
ice of alteration and heartfelt Worship
still serves quite as well as any other.
Services of this sort are not confined to
any church or denomination. They are to
be found, and properly enjoyed, in all the
large denominations at least. Every per-
son has his particular notion Of the form
that his alteration should take, and for
sects. There is in our diverse, our many
sided American church, a religious home
for everybody. The doors Of the churches
are wide open. They are not only willing
to welcome anybody-they are anxious.
There is no church so rich, no church so
exclusive, but that the decently-clad work.
ingman may find a place there, at one
service or another; and II there are
churches so we'll attended that ordinarily
no place is left for the stranger, those
churches at least must have solved the
problem Of attraction.

TARIFF COMMiSsION PLAN.

There appears to be some misappre-
hension in regard to the tariff commits
sion plan suggested by President Roose-
Welt. 1t is explained that what the pres
ident contemplates is not such "A com
mission as that of twenty years ago,
but a permanent body, whose function
should be not to frame tariff laws and
sary data upon which congress may do
these things. For example, it is pointed
out hat in The matter of hides nobody
knows, definitely and conclusively, what
the effect of the duty has been upon
the price of hides in this country and
in South America, its effect on the do
nestle leather manufacture, or on the
export trade in boots and shoes, or even
on the domestic prices of those articles.
1t is suggested that if an inquiry were
made along this line by men having the
public confidence their conclusion would
go a long way towards l%essening the
friction between east and west which
every mention of the subject now Gre
ates.
There is consensus of opinion that a
tariff commission like hat of 1882 would
be practically useless, as was the case
with that one, but perhaps such II com
mission as the president is understood
to contemplate, having the single pur-
pose of furnishing congress with in
formation as to the effect of schedules,
would be valuable. There seems, how
ever, to be no great interest taken in
the commission suggestion and it is
not likely to be favorably regarded by
congress.

CANAL TRANSPORTATION.

A question before the people of New
York which is of interest to the prOduc-
ers of the northwest is that of improv-
ing canal transportation between the
lakes and tidewater. Both parties in
that state are in favor of canal inn
prOvement, recognizing that there is a
situation where the commercial su-
because the canal system has not been
sufficiently improved to meet the re-
quirements of commerce. There is a
difference, however, as to plans, and
this may for the time being prove fatal
to the proposition.
Sooner or later the Erie canal will
have to be enlarged and deepened, If
New York City is not to lose Il material
part of its commerce.. For several years
other commercial points have been
drawing trade from the metropolis and
those who have given intelligent consid-
Grafton 10 the matter express the belief
that this loss must go OF n probably
become more serious in the future
If canal transportation is not improved.
The question of doing this has been
discussed for years, but of course the
railroad influence Is against such i'm
provement, for the obvious reason that
its effect would be to keep down freight
rates during most of the year. Besides
it would involve a heavy expenditure,
estimated at not less than $50, 900,
and this naturally causes a considerable
opposition to the project. The matter
is before the people of the Empire state
in the present campaign, but no conf
lent prediction can be made as to what
their verdict will be. Western pro-
ducers would welcome such canal i'm
provement as is proposed.

PROTECTING IsrBMiAN TRANSIT.

American action in taking control Of
the Panama railroad and refusing to al
low the Colombian government to trans
port troops over the line, has raised
the question whether this is lot an in
fraction of the sovereign rights of Co
lombia which the treaty obligation Of
the United States does not justify.
Admiral Casey's explanation of the ac-
ton is that it was necessary to maintain
free transportation, since allowing the
Colombian government to transport
troops and wal material along the line
would be provoking to the revolution
lists and might cause an interruption of
traffic.
While this is plausible, it is pointed
out that such a course does not find
warrant in the treaty and therefore fur
nlshes just cause of complaint and pro-
test on the part of the government Of
Colombia. The treaty, negotiated fifty
six years ago, under which the United
States assumed the obligation Of main
tanning free and Uninterrupted transit
across the Isthmus of Panama, de-
clares that in guaranteeing the perfect
neutrality of the isthmus the United
States also guarantees the rights of SOW
ereignty and property which New Ora
NADIA NOW Colombia) has and possesses
over the said territory" Our govern
ment has hitherto been very careful
to respect this stipulation. Thus when
in 1885 the United States interviewed in
the isthmus the forces sent there were
instructed to be mindful Of the rights
of Colombia and to confine their actions
to positively and eficaciously preventing
the transit and its accessories from
being interrupted or embarrassed.
The situation then was perhaps less
serious h at present and the Amer
lean Intervention operated to the adj
vantage of the Colombian government.
Possibly it will do so now, but il APP
pears not to be so regarded by that gov.
eminent and it is manifestly desirable
to avoid an impairment of friendly re.
lations with Colombia. The condition
of affairs in that republic is grave and
1t Is by no means assured that the
revolution will not succeed, but our gov
eminent, while faithfully fulfilling its
obligation, should not invade any right
of Colombia as a sovereign state. Tn.
doubtedly there is no such intention
at Washington and 1t is safe to say thai
whatever may be necessary to reassure
the Colombian government will be done

CORPORATIONS AND BRIBERY.

NoANA
The disclosures in the st. Louis bri-
berry cases should arouse the public to
a sense Of the prevalent evil OF official
corruption In the interest of great cor
porations and to effective action for re-
forms. The discovery that a gigantic
conspiracy has carried out a series Of
schemes for the enrichment of corpora
tons at the expense of the public by
wholesale bribery of the city council Of
st. Louis and the legislature of Mis-
souri,, involving corruption funds mount
ing up into hundreds of thousands,
seems startling and at first sight ex-
traordinary. Sui the truth is that the
evil is not peculiar to Missouri, but has
SO universally affected all branches of
our government municipal, county, state
and eve higher, as in some sense to
warrant description as "a conventional
crime" which one of the attorneys for
the defense in his address to the jury
applied to II.
No more fragrant and dangerous de-
bauchers of official morals are to be
found than corporations operating I'M
der public franchises, the very granting
of which, as we'll as the scope and con-
ditions of their organization. is often
rooted in bribery. Instead Of regulat-
ing and disposing Of public utilities e
plotted by railroad, telegraph, express,
! telephone, gas, water, street railway and
the like corporations, in due regard for
the public Interest legislative bodies are
seduced by Establishment and bribery to
betray their constituents and to become
the instruments Of corporate greed.
The trained lobbyists, smooth attorneys,
brazen bribers and agents of the cor
pOratiOns in every state Of the union
swarm about every official body clothed
with important powers as buzzards are
attracted by carrion. The serious fea'
ture of the st. Louis case is not its
individual fagrancy, but its representa-.
tive character.
1t is true that there are penal statutes
against bribery, but their enforcement
has fallen into desuetude. Though the

soVERnOR opELL,S POSITION

The position of Governor Odell of New
York in regard to the anthracite situa-
ton will be approved by the entire
country. He holds the presidents of the
coal-carrying railroads responsible and
he proposes to use all the authority he
possesses as the chief executive of the
state in an effort to bring the arrogant
and lnsOlent coal barons to terms.
There is the right spirit in the governors
declaration, in response to the impudent
statement of Baer that I'VE will not ac-
cept political advice or allow the inter
ference of politicians in this, our affair"
Properly indignant at this supercilious
avowal. Mr.. Odell told the operators
that being governor of New York, the
chosen representative Of 7,0OO,0UO people,
lie was acting solely in that capacity.
''and, what is more" he added. Il in
tend to use every power at my com
mand TO do it,"
Again when the spokesman OF the
coal operators stated that they refused
to recognize the union as represented
by Mr.. Mitchell, Governor Odell de
clared his belief that from a public point
OF view their position is absolutely un-
tenable. III coal operators, railroad
men and other business men can com
bine for mutual profit and protection.

union. Public sentiment is oYerwhelm-
ingly on the side Of Governor Odell in
this respect. The operators assert that

full body and they have denounced its
members as outlaws. That IT is as
legitimate as any other labor organiza-
ton In the country seems 10 be un.
questionable and the facts do not justify
the charge made indiscriminately against
its members. Some of them, it is true,
have violated the laws, but il is mani
testify most unjust to arraign as outlaws
the entire organization, because of the
misdeeds of a few of its members. As
= the assumption OF the coal operators
nat the miners union want to run
their business, IL is utterly unreasonable

ready at any time during the five
months Of the strike to submit their de
mands to impartial arbitration and
abide by the result. This conclusively
shows that they sought no undue ad
vantage, but simply to secure the cor
rection OF conditions which they fee
TO be unfair. In short, the claims and
assumptions OF the operators are sim
