New York on Ways and Means

The retirement Of Mr.. Mcclellan from
Congress will leave vacancy on the demo-
cratic side Of the ways and means commit
tee. New York aspires to retain the place
and the democratic members of the deleea-
ton are discussing the matter Of making a
recommendation to the Speaker through
Mr.. Williams. the minority leader. Why
not Mr.. Sulzer? He Is one of the veterans
now. Is good speaker. and an alert par
Humanitarian. Presumably he Is tariff re-
former. as tariff reforms go nowadays. The
old test Is no longer applied. The German
school has supplanted the Watterson
school-for the present at least. It has
been intimated on more than one occasion
that some of Mr.. Suffers colleagues were
jealous OF his growing influence In the
party. This spirit. If it exists, should not
be permitted to prevail in this case. The
assignment is an important one. and If
New York is to be recognized again 1t
should be in the person Of another good
man. Mr. Sulzer would easily fill Mr.. Nc

Religion and the Canal.

Latest advices from Rome declare that
the efforts of the Colombian government to
draw the Vatican into the Panama question
against the United States has failed. CO.
lombias minister to the Vatican under
took the task. and planted himself upon the
proposition that "the southern expansion
OF the United States, besides being a politi-
cal danger for the Latin republics, Is a
menace to Catholicism" Presumably the
Vatican heard him at length on that point,
and certainly not without recollection
that something in the same line of argu-
ment was advanced at the time sovereignty
was changed in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. AS Leo was not misled in the case
Of Spain, so Plus is not to be misled In the
case OF Colombia.
Nothing is palmer than that the influence
Of the United States carries no menace to
any religion. All religions flourish in this
country. They enjoy perfect freedom. and.
as the phrase Is. work out their own saliva
tion. The old cry that as there is no God
in the Constitution and none In the public
schools America is Goddess land needs at
this time no reply. The strength of the re-
Egtous bodies in every section, north. south.
east west the great number of churches
and chapels and religious educational in
situations. the millions who subscribe to
the different creeds, the enormous wealth
employed In the propa cation of religion. all
testify to the fact that the political institu
tons of the United States are. indirectly,
distinctly favorable to religion.
In what Central or South American coun-
try. or in what European country. where
Catholicism has always been the dominant
religion is that creed as fiourishing today
as In the United States? Look at Spain;
and note as the latest accounts of the sit
uation there what Mr.. Curtis has said In
his letters to The Star. Look at France.
where there is open and bitter war between
that church and the state, and where, up
TO this time. the church has suffered heav-
lily. Look at Italy. and right In the city of
Rome itself. where the divisions are sharp
and far-reaching. Then look at America.
where the Catholic hierarchy is busy with
spiritual affairs. and sends more to Rome
for the support of the church than Is re-
ceived from eight out of ten of the so-called
Catholic countries.
American influence in Panama has for it's
object control of the isthmian canal, which
is not to be religious institution. But re-
Hgion there. or further south, will not suf-
fer the result OF American supremacy
on the canal zone.

Off With the Tariff
From the New York Journal Of Commerce. ?

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
Senator Lodge has introduced substantial
~ the same bill as that which he presented
at the last session Of Congress, reducing the
duties on imports from the Philippine Is
lands to 80 per cent Of the Dingley rates. IN
stead of the 70 per cent now imposed. while
Governor Taft and the Philippine commits
sion insist upon a reduction to % per cent
as necessary to produce any substantial
benefit. There Is no good reason why these
duties should not be abolished altogether,
as they have been upon imports from Porto
Rico. The proceeds of such as are collected
are turned into the insular treasury. but the
revenue derived from that source Is insig
nificant and could in a short time be made
benefit of free trade with the United States.
To exclude them from that benefit while
they are as completely dependent upon this
country for their government as Alaska is
absurd as we'll as unjust and impolitic.

A Second Buckeye Blast.

In Washington. People at distance are
not to be kept waiting on the slow motions

because everybody is familiar with the
fact, that Mr.. Frye Is a strong and bril-
liant man-as fine and sturdy character
as we have in our public life. He would
make an admirable Chief Magistrate. But
the republicans are not going to Maine for
their candidate next year. They have
problem to meet which puts Maine out of
the equation. IF Maine Is not as certain
for the republican nominee as Mississippi
Is for the democratic nominee-though for
q very different reason-then the republic
cans would do well to save their money and
make no campaign next year at all.

Of American anger at the destruction of The

candidate and Judge Gray as the demo-
cratic candidate, and our course as to Cuba

be very much in doubt? Would even the
home of Mckinley be republican state in
such contest?
Whence comes this fiamboyant CUFF? It
does not sound like Ohio. Besides Mr.

OF a stranger there. A chum might pun
him so. But why such ecstases at dis

Get PoorI
From the Chicago Record Herald.

Millionaires are prone to sing the praises
of poverty. Having secured themselves
against want by accommodating a comforta-
BILE supply of bonds or preferred stock. they
feel impelled by sense Of humane obliga-
ton to warn young men against the dam
gers of wealth. Nearly every millionaire
claims that poverty is necessary to the de-
velopment of a man. We must feel the
stimulus Of desire, the pinch of want. But
how Is the precious Jewel Of poverty to be
attained? Here is where the millionaires
leave US cropping in the dark.
