tons operated by non-residents and mer.

labor out of the county. The Judge said
Il confess. gentlemen, that can't under
stand this foolish hostility to the negro
He is here without his consent, and bare
undoubtedly he must remain in large num-
bers. He has been eliminated by our con.
stitution and laws from all political control
He asks not for social recognition. He
only asks the poor privilege Of working for
his daily bread in peace and to indulge the
hope that the coming years may bring
something better TO his posterity.
"We Of the white race have all the Offices
OF power, from Governor to constable,

The Right to Refuse to Marry.

Referring to the recent marriage OF
Mr.. WILLIAM X. VANDERBILT, the Rev.
DR.. PARKHURsT is reported recently to
have said: Mr.. VANDERBILT could
not have found an American minister to
marry him, without undignitied scout
ing about for some weak creature who
could be tempted by his money
1t may be that in England, where the
marriage ceremony thus criticised was
performed, clergyman called upon to
unite in marriage two persons as to
whose union no legal impeachment ex-
listed would nevertheless be justified
under the law in refusing to perform the
ceremony; but it is by no means so clear
that clergyman here could properly so
refuse under the laws of the State OF New
York. In this State authority to per-
form the marriage ceremony is conferred
by law upon clergymen in the same
statute which authorizes the solemniza-
ton of marriage also by the Mayor,
Recorder, Police Justice, or Police Magis-
trate of city, or by Justice or Judge
of a court of record or a municipal court,
or Justice of the Peace, or Justice of
the District Court in the cities of New
York and Brooklyn.
Suppose that two divorced persons
entitled under the laws of this State to
marry again were to apply to any one
Of the civil officers mentioned in the
statute to solemnize marriage between
them. Would such officer be justified
in refusing, if satisfied of the fact that
no legal impeachment existed to the mar
riage, simply because the officer person.
ally disapproved of divorce? We hardly
think so. If it would be the duty of a
civil officer under such circumstances to
act when called, upon so to do, what
justification can exist on the part Of
clergyman, who obtains his authority to
perform the marriage ceremony from
the very same source, in refusing to unite
the parties in marriage under such cir
cumstances? Would he not be placing
himself above the law whence he derives
his power to act in the matter at all?
Without at this time attempting to
give positive answer to these questions,
we submit them as at least suggestive
of very interesting doubt.

One by one the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Raiding Syndicate is losing it's props.
Through the combined efforts Of a City
Magistrate and the District Attorney the
criminal department has been wrecked. 1t
is currently reported that an application
will be made soon to put this branch OF the
syndicate In the hands OF a receiver. Some
preiudiced plutocrats have been moved to
remark that it ought to be put in the hands of
Jail warden.
The latest expert accountant Of standing
to say that there was never anything in the
so-called charges against the Metropolitan
company is ARTHUR W. TEELE. In his re-
port to the District Attorney, published
Yesterday, he says that, after having been
afforded every facility for examining the
company's books and comparing the figures
therein with the findings of ANGRY and
AMoRY's experts, the conclusions Of those
experts and the specific findings of AMoRY
are entirely without foundation, 80 far as
they involve criminal wrongdoing.
Mr.. TEKLE also disposes Of that bright
particular piece of wickedness charged
against the company, to the effect that in
the negotiation Of the Interurban lease
some Of the officers stole something more
than $4,000 900. Having been thrown out
OF one court and the District Attorneys
Office. where will the raiders 60 now?

that this Constitution was adopted oy
a majority Of the citizens and even by
a majority Of the legal voters.
Whether it was or not, does not greatly
matter. The Legislature had called a
Constitutional Convention five months
before the meeting Of the suffrage party
in Providence. In February, 1912, this
convention made Constitution, which
the voters rejected in March In April
DoRR was elected Governor under the
suffrage Constitution, and a Legls-
lature OF Dorrites was chosen. Gov
ernor and Legislature were elected ac-
cording to the charter. In May there
were two State governments. The char
ter Governor proclaimed martial law.
got out the militia and appealed to the
Federal Government, which inevitably
recognized him as the legal Governor. :"
May 10 the rebellion began. Armed
Dorrites tried to get possession OF the
Providence Arsenal but were baked by
the legal Governor with the militia.
After an Intellectual visit to Washington,
DoRR returned to Rhode Island and was
assured that the people were ready to
fight for their rights" The assurers
were mistaken. June Is there was a
demonstration at Chepachet. Three
hundred suffragists found on the
field about 5000 persons, presumably
opposed to violence rather than to an
extension of suffrage. DoRR gave up
the game and told his little band to
be off. So was trodden out the very
feeble spark OF rebellion" BY No
vember the State had a new Constitu-
ton, doing away with most of the OBJ
jectionable features of the old charter"
DoRR fled the State, was arrested on his
return and treated as we have already
related.
We take this bald summary OF the
facts in DORIS case from Appleton's
CyclopRdia of American Biography.
II the summary is correct, it shows that
DoRR tried to do right thing in wrong
way, an illegal and violent way. He
seems to have misunderstood the temper
Of his partisans. They wanted new Con-
stitution, but they did not want disorder.
His opponents stole his thunder. They
did the right thing in the right way. No
matter what DORIS motives were, was
he patriot "? Is man patriot be-
cause, finding popular rights curtailed, he
seeks to enlarge them and incidentally
to make his way into office, against the
law and peace Of his State? A statue
of DoRR in the Rhode Island State House
would be a glorifcation of treason.
however amiable the traitor, and OF
violence, however ridiculous in the
outcome.

There was nothing sportsmanlike in the
over -hasty policemen Of Cambridge who
ran in two unsuspecting Harvard sopho-
mores for trackwalking' last Sunday.
Rural walks in Cambridge that is being
rapidly built up are scarce, and one of the
few remaining is through the North Cam
bridge marshes to Belmont. The only way
out Of the marsh to the turnpike road. for
one who does not wish to vet his feet q,
is to follow the Fitchburg track for few
rods to the place where the police had posted
themselves.
1t is a walk that Harvard men. students
and professors alike, have taken, especially
on Sundays, for a score Of years, with no
complaint on the part Of the railroad and
no attempt to enforce the statute. If the
law was to be brought to notice emphat-
cally the watchers at Belmont should have
bagged a brace OF professors or a pair of
deans or perhaps preacher to the univer-
sity. They would have caught them. prob
ably. by waiting little longer. and the
sight of college dignitaries driving in the
patrol wagon on Sunday afternoon would
have been more effective than Judge ALMY's
fve-dollar fine.

BENEFITS SWAPPING DAYsOVER.
His Son AuctiOned OF His Collection OF
Traps and He Died Right Away.

NEW HAVEN May 5.-Benjamin Franklin
Bennett. aged II, who was known through
out Connecticut as the man who would
trade anything but his wife and his old
white horse, died at his home in Willimantic
to-day, heart-broken because his son sold
at auction yesterday all his collection Of
relics for fifty years. Among the relics
was second hand pulpit which was picked
up by Bennett in Litchfield county and
which brought 30 cents.
In 1858 Mr.. Bennett wanted the nominal
ton for Representative in the Connecticut
Legislature from Mansfield, but rival
candidate received the prize. Not cast
down, Bennett made visit to his rivals
home and offered to swap a second hand
organ for the nomination. He made the
deal and was nominated. The trade that
won for him the most notoriety was at the
close of the Civil War, when he traded
bunch OF building lots in Windham for
seventeen old watches with and without
works.
Benefits mania to swap was noticeable
when as a lad he lived in Mystic and traded
jackknives, marbles, fish lines and hooks.
He always carried supply Of these articles
fortune, but he still continued to travel
from one end of Connecticut to the other
gathering up all kinds of stuff. He drove
an old white horse and always took with
him his wife. When they were at home
they lived in Windham, but at least eight
months of the year was spent on the road
The Accommodations of years were stored
In every corner of his house and for the last
few months, since Bennett had been in
poor health, all the comfort he took was
In viewing these old relics. Yesterday
his son determined to get rid Of the COL
lection and had an auction. When tho last
load of his valuables left the house tho old
man went to his room and this morning

1t was not to be expected that Mr.. HER

the anti Tammany candidate for Mayor
at this early date. Neither can he be
looked to for an Endorsement OF the Tam
many candidate now. The time is not
ripe for Mr.. RIDDER to declare where
what he calls the Germans of New
York will stand this fall-for it must be
borne in mind that Mr.. RIDDER always
speaks for all the Germans OF New
York city.
Up to the present time Mr.. RIDDER
has been able to rattle only two thoughts
out of the brain boxes of the citizens he
speaks for. One of them is that under
no circumstances will the Germans of
New York support Mayor Low for a
second term. This because Mr.. Low
would not oppose the new Liquor Tax
law, under which half the revenues from
excise licenses go to the State. and be-
cause he treated the liquor dealers out
rageously.' In addition to that, the fu-
sion candidate for Mayor next fall must

Ability Not Utilized.


Since the Rev. DR.. BRIGGS passed from
the Presbyterian to the Episcopal Church
very little has been heard of him or from
him. As preacher he is so far from
inspiring or stimulating that it is not
surprising that he has made no mark in
the Episcopal pulpit; nor is he a man of
the executive and administrative ability
now sought for in the rector of a parish.
DR.. BRIGGS, however is distinguished
scholar. of the type of the clustered
student rather than of the man of af-
fairs required to run the complex ma
chinery of modern Episcopal parish,
in a large town more especially. He is
one of the foremost Biblical scholars in
the world, and the Episcopal Church
in this country might be searched in vain
to find his equal as teacher Of Hebrew
and the cognate languages and as an au-
thority in that department of learning,
or even one who is entitled to be put in
the same class with him. The need of
scholar like DR.. BRIGGS as professor
in an Episcopal theological seminary
seems to be great at this time more
especially, and obviously it is only in such
place that the Church could utilize his
peculiar abilities and make them profit
able to it; yet never since he passed over
to the Episcopal Church and received
holy orders in it have we known Of any
movement to do honor to DR.. BRIGGS
. or to make any use of the proud dstinc-
ton in scholarship which came to it with
e., l,,,
gestion from any Episcopal quarter that
so great gain should be recognized and
made valuable to the Church in It's d.
vinity schools.
DR.. BRIGGS, so far as the Episcopal
Church specifically is concerned, has been
wasted wholly. His learning gives him
high rank among scholars, both Ameri-
can and European, but it receives no
practical recognition in the Episcopal
Church, in which he has continued to
occupy very humble place ever since
his reception into it. We see nowhere
among lns clergy or the papers of that
Church any expression of pride in his
fame. though. as we have said, DR..
BRIGGS is unquestionably without a peer
in the Episcopal Church of America as a
scholar. He is never men toned as
possible candidate for a professorship
in any Episcopal theological school,
though admittedly those schools are in
sore need of learning like his.
We are reminded to say this by seeing
in the Churchmdn of last week an EXPOSE
ton by DR.. BRIGGS of the subject OF
Sanctsfication by Love- This article
is one OF very few contributions made by
him to Episcopal discussions since his
