An Exhibition OF Christian Unity.

Bitter sectarian division appeared
early in tho history of Christianity. With
the Reformation came the separation OF
the Christian world into two great and
warning divisions; and under the private
Judgment Of Professionalism there was
further and inevitable subdivision.
For centuries the healing of this great
breach in the Christian family has been
the dream and the prayer Of pious souls.
A large library could be collected OF the
volumes which have been written on
Christian union alone, yet the breach has
remained and the gulf Of separation is
still as broad as ever, so far as concerns
the organization of the distinct parties.
The expressions of sympathy and ven
Grafton which the death of the Pope has
evoked from Professionals suggest, how
ever, that there has now grown up
unity of Christian sentiment never before
exhibited since the great break came.
Doubtless the outward and organized
separation will remain, perhaps lndeh-
nitely, but in interior sentiment the
Christian world is now more at unity
than seemed possible even twenty-five
years ago, Respect has succeeded
hatred and suspicion.
In the world of civilization there are
now two great forces opposed to each
other-religious faith, religion, and
infidelty, or denial of supernaturaiism,
and the first needs to be united in senti-
ment and purpose in order to contend
with the relatively consolidated and in
creasing hosts of the second.

vidually it is honest, il, collectively, 1t
lacks the sentiment Of honesty.
Undoubtedly, many walking dele
gates are corrupt and dishonest. But
they are not, after all, any more so
than some OF those in other walks Of
life who misuse power conferred on
them. The men who are intrusted with
the enforcement Of the laws and ad-
minister their offices for private gain, do
not materially differ from the corrupt
labor leaders. The one allows the
evasion OF the law for money and the
other sells his power and control over
labor for cash.
1t is all very we'll to say that the cor
rupt walking delegate should be sent
to the penitentiary; that the most con-
dign and merciless punishment should be
visited upon the man who throws thou
sands out of employment to crafty his
own selfish and infamous ambition.
But what about the wealthy contractor
the opulent corporation, which equally
shares in that walking delegates corrup-
ton? Is not the corrupter more guilty
than the man corrupted? Does he not
stand upon higher plane in the social
scale, and is not his responsibility to the
body corporate the greater?
For our part we would much rather
an example be made OF the capitalist
or of the representative OF capital who
used union labor as tool to his shame
less ends than that the law should wreak
its vengeance only on the rogues and
sharpers of low degree who betray the
labor unions for money. The remedy
lies in great measure with these unions
themselves. If they will exercise
little care in the selection Of their leaders
and be less prone to prefer smartness
to character and glibness Of speech to
proved integrity, they will no longer
be plundered az they are now, and they
will have, as they ought to have, better
name and standing in the social struo-
ture.

RostOu's Automo bile Policemen.

Ingenious Bostonians have discovered
a new use for the automobile. 1t is made
to protect the interests OF people in the
Back Bay district.
In past years, while many of the resi-
dents of that part Of Boston have been
away for the summer and their town
houses have been closed, vandals and
petty thieves have had merry time of it.
The approach of the mounted police was
easily detected by the clatter Of the
horses hoofs, and it was not very diff
cult to evade the policeman on foot
Now the path of the evildoers is not SO
ROSY. They have found an arch enemy
in the automobile, which is being used
to patrol Bostons fashionable neighbor-
hood.
This vehicle is in charge Of a chauffeur
and carries a policeman in civilians
attire. 1t goes out in the morning and
covers every part of the Back Bay region
at q speed of from five to seven miles an
hour. In the course of day it travels
fifty or sixty miles, or nearly twice the
distance covered by any member OF the
mounted force.
The Boston police departments rec
ords show that since the installation Of
this new service, few weeks ago,
scarcely a day has passed without the
arrest by the automobile cop Of at
least one offender and that, in single
day, he has gathered in as many as four
thieves, unaided. As the summer sea-
son advances and the harvesting period
of the thieves shortens they become
holder and more active; hence the auto
mobile officer is expected to be kept very
busy during the next six weeks.
So great has been the success OF this
experiment that it is reported the police
department intends to have an automo-
bile squad comprising six machines be-
fore the end of July. With such force
it will be possible to patrol several of the
OUTLYING districts of the town and also
to increase the auto-policemen's duties.
For example, scorchers Of all varieties
and degrees Of recklessness will be taken
care Of, and there will be no escape for
the hog who demands the whole road.
Experience has shown that the drivers
of high-powered automobiles in New
York, when plainly exceeding the legal
speed limit, have been able to give the
laugh to policemen on bicycles. The
power of steam, gasolene or electricity,
as the case might be, has been too great
for human muscle to overcome, and,
consequently, the scorchers have tri-
umphed. Now their days Of misdoing
around Boston are numbered, and the
method employed to subdue them may
appeal to the police authorities else

The frst shipment OF American fresh
fruit to Europe for this season. and one
of the largest single eonsignments ever
sent across the Atlantic, will be on board
the liner 81. Paul when she departs LOT
Southampton tomorrow morning. Inc
shipment consists of nearly 10000 boxes
Of pears, plums, cherries and peaches'
which are being rushed across at TINS carry
date to take advantage of the good prices
sure to obtain in the English market BEFORE
the London season closes.
The fruit is all from California, and Will
make the 0,5O0-rnile trip in record time.
1t was started from the Pacific Coast last
Tuesday night, and travelled across the
continent in a special refrigerator train
eight cars Of which were entirely occupied
by the consignment. The fruit was re-iced
only once in it's transcontinental journey,
at Chicago.
The train reached Jersey City, yesterday
and the cars were transferred to floats
and towed alongside the st. Paul at
Pier Is, North River The fruit, which
was packed in square boxes, just as 1t Is
delivered at the markets here, was trans
ferred to the refrigeration chambers on
the ship. 1t will not be disturbed again
until it reaches Southampton next Wednes-
day, when it will be transferred to special
train and carried to London. The whole
journey will have occupied little more
than two weeks
In addition to the California fruit, the
st. Paul will also take out 100 barrels OF
New York State apples from the Hudson
valley. This is the first transatlantic
shipment of apples grown this season.

A Bid for the Vicc-Presidency.

Governor ROBERT NJ LA TOILETTE
of Wisconsin, an industrious declaimer
against corporations and "the large
commercial interests is yearning for
another Declaration of Independence.
In speech made at the New York Chau-
tauqua he proposed to "let us see if the
time is not ripe for new Declaration
of Independence. So the Chicago plat
form of 1895, hailed and hymned as a
new Declaration of Independence. Is
not new enough for the Badger Bryan
He told the surprised Chautauquans
that government by corporations, such
as we have to-day, is as destructive OF
the liberties of the people as the exercise
of the same power by foreign monarch.
1t seems that GEORGE III was liberal and
beneficent compared with great aggre-
cations of corporate capital.

up colossal fortunes, granting unlimited power TO

massiug together business interests never before

control of their own Government Its foundations
are being Slapped and Its integrity destroyed What
shall II profit a man " he gain the whole world and
lose hls own SOUL What shall 1t profit a nation II

The gravest danger menacing republican Instu-
lions TO day is the overwhelming control OF city,
state and national legislatures by the wealth and
power OF public service corporations. 1t Is this
close association OF political and corporate power

larion for the general good and passes laws to pro-
mote private interests"
The cause of these words of woe is
disclosed by despatch from Madison,
Wis, to the Chicago Chronicle:

MFR. Goodwin Smith and Plus VII.

To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: In his
last reply TO my criticism Mr.. Smith coacen-
trates all his arguments against the moral"
courage and the "pontifcate of morals" OF

cal authority Consequently. by the value OF
that assertion and Of that authority his
charges against the Pope stand or fall
This is the assertion; That the Pope
knew the ecclesiastical marriage of Napoleon
with Josephine to have been duly performed
and valid. there can hardly be reasonable
doubt" But how could the Pope enter into
the forum OF Napoeon's conscience and know
that he was such monster Of duplicity as to
deceive both Josephine and Cardinal Fesch.

OUR FLEET AT LISBON.
Admiral Cotton Says There We're No De-
sertiOns Mt Portsmouth.

WASHINGTON, July 2i.-The arrival Of
the European squadron at Lisbon, Portu.
gal. was reported to the Navy Department
this morning in telegram from Rear Ad-
miral Cotton who said in his despatch that
there was not a man left behind when the
squadron sailed from Portsmouth, England.
Reports that lO5 bluejackets Of German
birth had deserted the squadron at Kiel
caused the Navy Department to send a
message of inquiry to Admiral Cotton, and
his reference to tho fact that there were no
absentees at Portsmouth evidently was
made to nip in the bud other possible canards
about assertions there. The los German de-
serters dwindled to two American strag-
glers.
While at Lisbon the officers and men of
the squadron will be the guests of the Portu-
guese Government, at whose invitation the
visit ia being made.
