goes to the root OF the whole matter In
saying generally that a young man
cannot get too much education Mr..
ELBRIDGE G. KEITH, who is not college
man, thinks that a college man shows
himself moro proficient In solving prob
lens that require judgment than young
man who has not had the mental train
ing that college course gives; and he
adds what Is now a matter OF common
knowledge that there ia a growing de-
mand for college graduates throughout
the country As regards business, his
observation would bear out the con-
clusion that the college graduates show
the greater proficiency,
We are not going to try to pluck any
new corn out Of these old fields: and we
have no profound veneration for the
colleges. But surely education, acquired
somehow and somewhere, Ia or should be
benefit to man; and surely bust
ness men will not be especially fattered
by the efforts Of Mr.. CRANE Of Chi cago to
show that college education handicaps
business man. Even at college some
thing may be learned. Reduced to its
lowest terms the theory Of Mr.. CRANE
of Chicago would mean that education
and business are natural enemies. In
kindness to him, however, we will give
his theory in his own words:
take the ground that young man who goes to
college not only is not benefited by IT, spend

Megalomania or megalocephaly is
bred by many causes and common to the
Town as to the Gown. Admit that some
college mon are pleased with themselves
because they have gone through
college. Mr.. CRANE Of Chicago is pleased
with himself because he hasn't. Honors
and the big head seem to be distributed
evenly.

and to mako a report to the next General
| Convention" Last October this com.
mittee asked the convention OF each
diocese whether II does or does not
desire a change in the name at this
time, and, III IL does 80 desire, what name
it wishes substituted therefor"
The expressions unfavorable to
change from the important dioceses
to which we have referred, seem to be
symptomatic of the prevailing sentiment
Of Episcopalians Undoubtedly, the
Catholic movement has grown in
strength greatly during recent years.
Some of the most prosperous Episcopal
parishes Of New York and other cities
are the most extreme in their Ritual
ism, but obviously there remains an even
more powerful Protestant sentiment
In the Church. Az Prof. NASH Of the
Episcopal Theological School at Cam
bridge expressed it In recent discus
sion Of the subject by the Episcopalian
Club of Boston, the word Protestant
should bo retained, because it lays
emphasis on the right to think, on the
sacrednees of reason, on the high calling
of free, fearless, reverent, scientific
study" The Bishop OF Louisiana, in
addressing his diocesan convention on
the subject, expressed an opinion prob
ably more general among Episcopalians,
in deprecating agitation and saying that
the time for change would come only
when it could be brought about with
out serious division in the Church and
with virtual unanimity.7
Such unanimity does not yet appear,
but, instead, division, controversy and
even acrimony. The demand for
change, proceeding, as it does, from
bitter revolt against Professionalism, has
aroused the Protestant spirit which still
pervades the Episcopal Church to vio-
lent opposition, among the laity, more
especially. In the Mississippi do
cese. for example, the laity we're We
hemently and almost solidly against it.
In New Jersey, out Of II lay votes, as
many as four-fifths were Of the same
mind, in Pennsylvania more than three
fourths, and in Washington the vast
preponderance Of lay sentiment was
the same. As We have said, therefore, it
may be assumed that when the General
Convention meets at Boston in October
OF next year it will take no action favor
able to a correction OF the name of
the Protestant Episcopal Church.

TESTIMONY or DLOODHOINDS.
As in the Case OF Other Sieuths. Their
Powers Are often Oyerrated.

From the Louisville Courier-Journol.
In the Sensational murder case at Lorain.
Ohio. suspicion appears to have fallen upon
Father WaseT mainly on account Of the
action of the bloodhounds which were
brought to the scene OF the murder. or
that Father Walser was In the house and
had chance to commit the crime. but that
is an extremely slight ground OF sue picion
The bloodhound is in one respect. very
like the human detective. Romance has
been busy with both. The supernatural in
tclligence OF legions Of old eleuths has been
illustrated in fiction. from the pages Of
Dickens and Conan Doyle to those OF thou
sands Of dime novels. This has produced in
the minds Of the people n confidence in the
wonderful skill Of detectives which is seldom
borne out by their achievements in action.
There have been great detectives and there
have been great detectives feats. but they
are far less numerous than lie generally be-
!ieved. In like manner. the bloodhound has
been exploited in story TO such degree as TO
biilty
The bloodhound Of mythology has thus
Of commerce The bloodhound OF mythol-
ogy has more sagacity than all the detectives
Of the world done into one, The bloodhound
entirely incapable Of perfoTmins miracles or
conducting an inquiry with even ordinary
human nteillRence. let tnerc nTe stiil ptO-
pie who are willing to regard their own in
ferences from the hounds behavior as suffi-
Gent TO exclude all reasonable doubt and serve
az the basis Of summary and irregular exc
CutOn OF a person suspected
The trouble about the bloodhound as a
witness is that he cannot be sworn. His
testimony. therefore. is not to be received in
court. As he Is not competent witness
it is also not competent to prove by other
witnesses the nature OF the information which
he furnishes or Is supposed to furnish. An
attempt to cross-examine him Is attended
with too great difficulties His services az
detective. therefore. are subject to very
serious drawbacks.
For all that he is sometimes useful. But
his usefulness is mainly in the way OF afford
ing a clue to the human detectives When
he actually traces the perpetrator OF crime
to his hiding place. II is often possible to And
on the person or in the residence of the person
suspected evidences that he had committed
a crime. At all events, 10 this way attention
is sometimes directed to the proper person.
But the chances OF mistake are very great.
and It is important that the limitations Of
the bloodhound should be better understood
than they are In many communities.

Fishing and Fish.

This, the 10th Of May, under unwritteI
law. is the grand opening day of tn,
competition among the anglers here
abouts for the honor OF catching the first
weakfish. Some stubborn still fishe,
may possibly win the prize, though the
chances are against him. The season il
backward, 90 the long procession of fish
from southern waters is sluggish, and
the weakfish captured to-day, assuming
the capture to be within the reach of a
cast, must be scout.
Unfortunately, the pound nets will
soon be all down and in full blast and
their numbers on the New Jersey coast
are expected to be even larger than they
were last year. The fish procession
from the south comes here in the spawn
ing season. that is to say from the middle
of May to the middle Of June. and that
procession passes close to shore. within
easy reach Of the far outstretching
pounds lined along the coast, and 40 close
together that they have been likened
to the rungs OF an endless ladder. OF
course the business gives employment
TO many people, but those same people
could find at least as profitable employ
ment with fykee. seines, lines and hooks
as they can get from the labor attending
pound-net fishing and the fish which
they would send to the markets would be
in far better condition than the fish that
get there Under the present system
Moreover, the same deserving people
will before long be completely put out
OF business by the pounds. The run Of
fish along the coast will be stopped.
To some people this may look very
much like etaggeration. But let us see.
Kinghsh used to be abundant in our
waters some years ago. A kingfish now
is curiosity here. Striped bass used to
be taken In immense numbers in the
upper and lower bays. Now they are
scarce, indeed; in fact 40 scarce that only
the most hopeful and persistent anglers
ever cast or troll for them. The bluefish
that used to swarm in the neighborhood
Of Sandy Hook and in the Raritan Bay
have paid only few and flying visits to
those grounds of late years; and even
their game, the menhaden. through
sparkling acres Of which the bay boat
men used to sail. have been thinned down
to little schools far apart, and appearing
at rare intervals.
All this is the result OF wanton destruc-
ton following in the wake Of greed. The
sea ia wide, but the bays whore the spawn
ing grounds lie are narrow. They at
least should be protected.

The Census once Cotton Report.

The final statistics of cotton production
issued this week from the Census Office at
Washington are the same as those in it's
preliminary report of April /, showing
that nothing has occurred since then to
cause their modification. The cotton
crop grown in 1902 is estimated at 10, 1885,
$50 bales. of ordinary weight, counting
round bales as half bales and not includ-
ing lin3ers-estimated at 1876, 223 bales
which should be added to make out the
commercial crop.
The statistical division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has estimated the
crop grown in 1902 at 1O,417 900 bales, or
only l7l,250 bales less than tho Census
Office This places these two Govern
nent Offices not far apart in their cotton
Hrop estimates. and it seems to warrant
4 good measure of confidence that the
amount Of cotton produced that year did
not exceed 10 600 900 bales, and that the
commercial crop, including linters for
he season of l902-03 should be approx

It 05s2 $50 bales, an estimate proved to

only about 100000 bales less, and for 1890
overcounted the crop by about 200, 900

To SIamp Out Smallpnx.

An act extending the powers of the
state board Of health, TO enable it to
meet the emergency occasioned by
epidemics of smallpox in different
sections of the state, was passed by
the present session of the legislature
and was approved by Governor Pen
nypacker March IS. The act gives
the board fuller jurisdiction over local
boards Of health, and prescribes fine
not exceeding $1,000 and an imprison-
ment not exceeding one year, either
or both, for persons who shall be
found guilty of violating quarantine
regulations as adopted by either the
state or local boards of health. Vio-
lators may be arrested by members OF
the board of heal h without a warrant.
The sum Of $4,000 is appropriated
to be used in assisting the communi-
ties in which smallpox now exists or
may hereafter exist in stamping out the
disease. The act will continue in
force for period of two years.
