wAsHINeToN's RELIGION.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Gen. George Washington. who was first
in war. first In peace and first In the
hearts of his countrymen. whether or not
he was first at the altar rail at the COM
munion service, Is entitled to have the
question of the sincerity of his general
religious views treated, In this twentieth
century, as a closed issue, so far as pub
lie discussion is concerned. Historians
and historical quidnuncs may, II they
like, waste time and energy in examin-
ing the evidence, pro and con, as to
whether Washington was a comm unicant
1t seems pretty clear that he did commu-
nicate, and reverently-at least once.
Gen. George Washington was a gentle
man. He went to church regularly, as
his ancestors had done before him. and
as undoubtedly his faithful wife wished
him to do. He was a reverent believer
in an overruling Providence, and held
It wise to refer his intelligence in great
moments to that of the Higher Power in
prayer. Whether or not he was a COM
municant at the time of his death, he
was beyond all doubt well and favorably
disposed toward the Christian religion.
Generally the man of great and con-
structive imagination sees the leading
facts of history, especially where they are
concerned with the interior thoughts of
eminent men, more clearly than the mere
historical student-a man of minute mind
and prying fingers-ever does. One such
man of great Imagination and clear in
sight was Walter Savage Lander. We
doubt IL Washington could have asked
for better exposition of his religious
views than Lander gave in his Imaginary
Conversation between Washington and
Franklin. II that exposition was not
full as to doctrine. II is probably as full
as even Washington himself would have
been able to make 1t. We recommend to
the quidnuncs a careful reading of this
great contribution to English literature
The moral stature of Washington does
not diminish as we begin to view him
as a human being. He has been rather
a ghostly figure too long. He was truly
a man. and belonged to his epoch, to ar
istocratic Virginia and to young and au-
| dacious America.

PAUNcEFoTE's SUCCESSOR.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The British government will be very
fortunate IL the successor to the late Am
bassador Pauncefote has the sterling
qualities which that distinguished diplo-
mat possessed. London dispatches init
mate that Lord Lansdowne, the secretary
for foreign affairs may be sent to Wash
ington as the ambassador of Great
Britain. That seems scarcely probable.
Still, the post is one which ought to be
filled by the ablest and most tactful man
In the British diplomatic service-a man
who understands American institutions,
WHO is in touch with public opinion in
the United States and is thus fitted to be
a conservative and sagacious adviser of
his government. The<late Lord Paunce-
fote never made the mistake of assuming
that the American propaganda of Anglo
mania, noisy and offensive as 1t has been
at times represented more than an In
significant minority of the people of the
United States. In all the diplomatic con-
troversies in which he was engaged on

CONGRESS SHOULD ACT.

From the St Louis Globe Democrat.
Senator Morgan's isthmian canal COM
mittee has reported adversely on Sena-
tor Hoar's bill giving the selection of
route into the hands of the President.
This is right. The Hoar proposition and
the Spooner idea, on which 1t Is founded,
ought to be defeated. The selection of
the waterways route should be made by
Congress and not by the President. The
country had been led to believe recent
ly that majority of both branches of
Congress was coming over to the Hoar
side on this proposition, which Is also IA
vored by many prominent newspapers.
But the chances are that Congress will
not give its sanction to any such Idea. 1t
would be a decidedly absurd step for
Congress to take. Congress has Just as
good a chance to learn all the facts n
connection with each of the routes as the
President can have, and 1t ought to be as
able as the President to reach a wise
decision. Nobody proposed until recently
to shift this matter to the shoulders of
the President. All these propositions for
evasions and shuffings on Congress- part
should be defeated.

Archbishop Keane,

"A few days after Archbishop Corrigan
died 1 said 1t was probable that his sue
cessor as metropolitan archdiocese of New
York would be either Archbishop Keane
of Dubuque or Archbishop Kahn of ST
Louis, and now 1 read In an Associated
Press dispatch from Rome by the way
of London <lat it Is understood the Popl
will announce the appointment of Mon
signor Keane some time In June" re-
marked a Catholic layman of Birming-
ham.
while rumors from the vatican over
the wires are usually without foundation,
1 believe the chances for the archbishop
of Dubuque being transferred to New
York are decidedly strong
Archbishop Keane resided in Rome for
a while and served there as consultor to
one of the congregations He is well
known personally to his holiness, and
he is very dear personal friend or Car
dinal Gibbons. He owes all his prefernent
to the cardinal.
Archbishop Keane is an exceptionally
brilliant scholar and a man OF uncom-
mon firmness and judgment"

President PaIma,s Message.

President Palma's first message was
delivered to the Cuban Senate on
Wednesday and in it he not only
praises the Cubans who fought for in
dependence, but he expresses graft
tude to the United States. The prom
Use formally made. he says, has been
carried out, and he mentions the full
filing of all obligations to this coun-
try He hopes to secure reductions in
the American tariff, and he recognizes
the value of sanitation, schools and
railroads. He wants more of each.
And he also wants to see the Cuban
nationality preserved.
All this is very pleasant, but very
general The people of Cuba are poor,
and the needs of the new government
will be many. At the very outset the
public debt must be adjusted, and this
will be by no means light task. There
is in the first place the Cuban or revo-
lutionary debt which must be adopted
or guaranteed. Some say there are
Cuban bonds outstanding to the
amount of 100000, while others say
the amount does not exceed $4,000, 900.
Lut the amount of the outstanding
Cuban bonds is a small matter along
side the claims of the Fallstaffian
army that now asks to be paid. In
his message President Palma says he
appreciates "the obligation which the
government contracted with the Gu
ban army, and that If means are not
now taken to make good this obliga-
ton, it is because of the bad economic
situation of the country" This Is all
very nice, but the officers and soldiers
of the Cuban army insist upon pay,
and there is danger that their insist
ance will be carried very far If some
provision is not made for them. Alto
gether the new republic promises tc
be well loaded with deDt from tn
very start.

Last Coronation.

1.-THE rehearsal for the coronation pa
geant seem TO be going on In a business
like way and when the 18th of June
comes the parade from Buckingham Pal
ace to Westminster Abbey will move
without hitch" said a Baltimore man
at the Morris who had visited London
during both jubilees of Queen Victoria.
From the plain narrative reports are
the reheersals now in progress they are
not unlike those of the late P. T. Bar
NUNS circus just before the beginning of
a season. The English people, and espe-
cially English courtiers, are so used to
ceremony and pageantry that 1 cannot
understand why those who are to partici-
pate in the coronation show should need
all these rehearsals.
II predict that King Edwards corona
ton will be the last one. England will
have monarchy as long as England
stands. But coronation pomp-all right In
past times-is out of keeping with TWEEN
tieth century civilization. 1 am satisfied
that Edward has a sense of humor and
having that, he doubtless enjoys many
quiet laugh over the opera-bouffe charac-
ter of the coronation. He certainly will
not take the fuss and feathers and the
amounting seriously. He is already a full
f1edged king, and he will be no more of
ruler after the ceremonies at Westmin-
ster than he is now.
Royal pomp is interesting in history,
stirring In verse and beautiful on the
painters canvas, but in this age 1t has
no place in real life

THE BURNING OF MORGAN.

From the New York Sun.
The burning at the stake In Texas Of
the negro Morgan was. according to the
details that reach us through the papers
nearer the scene one of the most revolt
ing atrocities to be found In the annals Of
lynching.
After the victim was chained some MEM
bers of the mob took burning fagots and
burned out his eyes" They held burn
ing timbers to his neck, and after burn
ing his clothes off, to other parts of his
body" 1.-The negro screamed in agony.
He was tortured In a slow and painful
manner, with the crowd clamoring for
slower death, and the negro, writhing
and groaning, begged piteously to be
shot"
All this before the final burning. of the
still living man!
No crime can mitigate the fiendishness
of this savagery. A chill of horror goes
through the entire country and calls for
stoppage of this awful habit of lynching.

viruinia's Constitution.

Virginia followed the example of Ala
bama to a great extent. Its general
plan of suffrage is very much like that
of this State, for her convention
adopted a temporary plan and this
temporary plan holds good until jan
uary /, 1904, and so far as the persons
registered under it are concerned it
lasts while they live. Once registered
always registered, is the rule under
this temporary plan. We give this
temporary plan of registration in full
in order that it may be contrasted with
the plan that Alabama is today en-
gagged in carrying into effect. These
may be registered
First-A person who, prior to the adop-
ton of this constitution, served in time
of war in the army or navy Of the United
States, of the Confederate States or of
any state of the United States; or,
Second-A son of any such person; or,
Third-A person who has paid to the
state for the year next preceding that in

Seaside Resorts.

"One of the most popular seaside re-
sorts this summer will be Wrightsville
Beach, N c., few miles from Whining
ton," said Mr. w. b. Clements, travelling
passenger agent of the Seaboard Air
Line.
"Wrlghtsvllle has the advantage of
splendid surf and abundant shade near
the beach. The trouble with many sea-
side places Is lack of shade. Wrightsville
is not only cool all summer, but cool look
ing. Scores of elegant homes there make
local society charming, and already hun
dreds of prominent Georgians, CAROLYN
ians and Virginians have secured quar-
tiers for June. July and August.

mer at Wrlshtsville. The seaboard train

officers.

not very great, but in the permanent

The voter in Virginia must know
how to write. AS writing to the ex-
tent required involves reading, the
permanent intelligence tests of the two
States may be said to be alike, and
the chief difference consists in the
poll tax In Virginia 1t is not cumula-
tive beyond three years; in Alabama
there is no limit. All poll taxes must
be paid In this State before citizen
can vote. It Is doubtful indeed whether
any State has so stringent a poll-tax
provision, and the chances are very
good that an amendment will in the
course of time cut out or mitigate this
very drastic provision of the Alabama
constitution, lest the State accumulate
a very large DISTINGUISHED class of
whites as we'll as of blacks.

ONLY ONE CURE FOR LYNcHINes

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
Senator Gallinger's resolution for an in
vestigation of the subject OF lynching by
the judiciary committee or the Senate
was of such a manifestIy Impractical
character that there was no need for
southerners to take alarm. Senator Hoar,
chairman of the committee, explained
that he had already reported adversely
on similar proposal upon constitutional
grounds and Its value as campaign ma
terial Is completely discounted In these
days by the occurrence of lynchings In
the north with every circumstance of
cruelty that has characterized them In
the south.
Moreover, 1t is clear that If an investi-
CATION were made it would be futile for
the broad, general purpose of remedying
the evil The only adequate remedy i'm
aglnable is a just and enlightened pub
lie sentiment. We have now all the neces-
sary machinery Of law and government.
This machinery Is SO perfect, the princi-
pies upon which 1t is established are so
sound, that a committee would find that
the limit of governmental resources had
been reached. All that it could do would
be to issue a moral appeal. and such ap-
peals are being issued over and over
again by the press and pulpit, by public
bodies and by individual citizens. The
impress of a senatorial authority would
not help them in the least, but that they
will ultimately meet with the desired re-
Spouse in the conscience, intelligence and
practice of the people is certain. Even
the revolving crime which Is the principal
cause of the most terrible lynchings can
not be held to justify them in a civilized
community.

WAR HORSE OUT OF DATE.

From the London Spectator.
The horse in war is expensive, fragile
and fool; he Is greedy, and his food i.
as bulky as himself; he requires an ex-
pert to keep him efficient under hard
work, and a miracle to keep him alive
under heavy fire. He mf,t be watched
and guarded more carefully than tho
lines of communication both in action and
in camp; he is a coward; the race OF them
that snorted "ha! ha! among the trum-
pets, the noise of the captains, and the
shouting" is dead, if it ever lived at all
outside the inspired mind of the plague
stricken poet; he Is a traitor, and will
desert to the enemy at the first oppor-
tunity, probably with three days rations
at his saddle bags and a useful rifle in
the bucket.

behalf of his government he showed the
hnest common sense. There are perhaps
a rev Americans who would like to be
the subjects of the British monarch. Lord
Pauncefote knew that the great body of
the american people have no sympathy
or patience with Anglomania: that thew
desire to maintain with Great Britain the
same friendly relations which thew main.
tain with other nations. No more and no
less. In American diplomacy there ia M
sentiment. The people of the limited
states want to be just and fair in their
dealings with other nations, but thew will
not sacrifice their interests to promote
international good feeling. They will de-
mana everything to which they consider
themselves entitled regardless of racial
considerations. or indeed, considerations
OF any KIND. Lord Pauneefote knew the
American people. and through him HIS
government learned to know them. In the
interest OF both countries his successor
should be equally practical and sagacious.
