with former Assistant Attorney-GourraI
Tyner for conspiracy to defraud, protesting
against the recent order 10y Mr. PAYNE,
disbarring him from practice before TIA

Mr. Barretts letter reminds the Pos

would be taken without first giving Barrett
an opportunity to be heard, AMI says that,
not having been furnished with any charge
and no hearing given him, and having
received no notc' of his dsbarmeut lie
is led to doubt the accuracy of the report
Mr.. Barrett says that long ago he per
sonally solicited "the most searching in
vestigation" Of all his acts, and that he
gave Assistant Acknowledgement Rob and
the Post Office inspectors a full and frank
statement. Mr., Barrett says that he would
not think Of appearing rs an at orney he-
fore the Post Office Department while
the indictments against him are pending,
and that the order of the PostmaSterCcn-
eral disbarring him from practice was
unnecessary.

Our New Alien Population

The assumption Of Roman Catholic
magazine, quoted by us yesterday, that
nearly half of the immigrants daily ar
irving in our ports come under the
fostering care of that Church, is justified
by the statistics of the immigration Of
the last year, the greatest Of any year
in our history by more than one hundred
thousand.
OF these aliens, nearly million in
total, more than two-thirds came from
Austria-Hungary, Italy and Russia The
Italians are all Catholics, and many Of
the others, while of the remaining third
of the immigration very large part are
of that faith The statistics indicate, too.
that the exodus Of Jews to this country
from Eastern Europe is by far the most
numerous of any year since the record
of immigration was first kept by the
Government, in 1920.
As the streams Of immigration which
are now largest are from new race
sources and generally from a sphere Of
poverty and ignorance, it is fortunate,
in the interests Of our society, that both
are here brought under moral and re-
ligious influences conducive to good
citizenship
The Roman Catholic Church, though
taxed to the utmost to care for Its in
coming children, Is performing that duty
in a way 10 deserve the gratitude Of all
Americans The Italians are almost
wholly from South Italy, from which
came nearly two hundred thousand this
year, and tho incident that they brought
with them on the average only about
81 apiece, Is sufficient evidence Of their
poverty. The average among the Ger
mans was over t3i, among the English
nearly 500 Evidently, therefore, these
Italians, poor, ignorant and utter
strangers 10 our language, would be-

MAcEDONIAs PLEA FOR RELIEF.
Clara Barton Considered Better Qualified
Than Any Other Person 10 DO the Work.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ~ Macedona's plea
for relief from the Turkish outrages was
preeented to Miss Clara Barton, the head
of the American Red Cross, to-day by Con-
stantine Stephanove, the special delegate
from the Macedonian Charitable Society.
Miss Barton was deeply Interested in
the delegates description of the conditions
in his country, and showed complete
knowledge of the diplomatic difficulties
that might be encountered. She asked Mr.
Stephanove for complete details OF the
character and the scope OF the relief needed.
1t IL felt by the friends OF Macedonia that
Miss Barton is better qualified to under
take the work than any other person in
America or in Europe She led the Red
Cross into Armenia after the massacres in
that country in 1905. At that time she
obtained the complete confidence OF the
Turkish authorities who admitted her and
her assistants into Armenia after the
Turkish Minister in Washington gave
her the positive assurance that She would
be excluded. When her work in Armenia
was over, the Sultan Of Turkey recognized
her services to the Turkish Empire by con-
ferring upon her the order OF Chefalet
In the present instance Turkey has al
ready refused to admit the British Red
Cross representatives into Macedonia, but
1t is hoped that Miss Barton's relations
with the Porte, con bined with the good
Offices OF the State Department, will obtain
the admission Of American aid TO the dis
tressed province.

Southern Kindness OF Feeling for the Negroes.
From the Pulaski! Ctt!cen,

from me ELlSkI CH!teU,
The facts OF trial IN the Chanoery Court here
las. week would make exceedingly Interesting
reading for those people who know nothing about
the relations existing between tho whites and the
negroes of the South
Suit was brought against two old negroes 10 col
lect dsbt which they claimed to have paid Their
reputation for truth and honesty was brought into
question and their attorney took advantage OF the
opportunity to place character witnesses on the
stand. A gentleman who served With honor as
Colonel IN the Confederate Army testified that he
had known one OF them we'll for seventy years nd
would give him full faith and credit In court Of
Justice or anywhere else. Another. who WAS a
Captain In tho Confederate Army, testified that he
knew the negroes well and tina. their reputation
for truth and honesty was good that be would be-
lieve any statement either OF them should make.
There were other character witnesses and all tcs-
fed alike.
The result was a vndCa'ion and victory for tho
negroes without attempting 10 discuss the merits
of the suit about which we know nOthir a. this Incl
dent Is important from two aspects. one showing

Nccessity Of Moral Teaching for Children

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN-Sr, Those best
qualified to speak on religious teaching tho
public school teachers.
What teacher but remembers the nnumerahle
times In a day he had occasion TO teach the differ
ence between right and wrong. the beauty OF for
gveness. OF purity, the wrong In cheating. In
fact childs school life IS the battlefield where he
nights the great battle, victory or defeat In which
makes or blights his whole after life How much
the children would be helped by religious training
being introduced as part OF the course OF study
teachers can well testify The example and teach
ing of moral ideas combined with less crowded
course OF study would give us the well balanced
children necessary to make our republic one Of
righteousness and strength.
To teach the children a few hours on Sunday TO
be good and then neglect this teaching on the other
SIX days Is folly 1t is as necessary to teach child
to be good by constant repetition as II Is to teach
him the combination Of numbers or TO recognize
a word at sight In our present dag education
we are doing the two latter well because we keep
evcrlasngy at IT, but we'are failing in religious
teaching because there Is no means Of keeping ever
lAstlngly at 1t except what Is done AT home by con-
sclentious parents. WALTER L. H0udHro"

Tammany Pictured by Those VINO
Know IL Best.

II cannot be gainsaid that the leaders
Of all the political parties and factions in
New York agree in assuming that Tam
many's return to Office would mean a
revival of the conditions which existed
curing its previous period OF power, 1t
will not got back unless a majority of the
people of this town want exactly that
sort of administration repeated.
Young Mr.. MCCLELLAN appeals to
Tammanv sentiment by attacking bit
terlv the enforcement Of what his sup
porters are pleased to call the blue
laws" His orators practically promise
that under municipal administration
directed by him only such laws as are
popular will be enforced.
The Hon. HUGH MCLAUGHLIN of
Brooklyn is a Democrat. but he is not an
admirer of Tammanv license and indie
cencv. He warns the citizens of the
BROOKLYN borough that Tammany sue
cess means the extension Of the Red
Light and cadet systems to Brooklyn,
WILLIAMS DEyERY predicts from long
experience under Tammany that If 1t
wins the election the people Of New York
will find out that "Deveryism was Tam
manyism and will see the revival of the
worst pra ctices Of the Van Wyck ad-
ministration, no matter who may be the
ostensible head of the Police Depart
ment.
These are only three ont Of host OF
qualified experts who testify to the same
effect. That ia, the men who know Tam
many best unite in assuring the voters
that il it is returned to power its prac-
tees will be the same as those that
brought about its defeat in 1901. Nay
it may be expected that they will be even
more offensive to decency.
The election will show simply whether
the majority of the people Of New York
want that sort of thing or whether they
want decent and a civilized town

conclusion of the opinion Mr., Justice
BLATCHFoRD said:

conclusion of the opinion Mr., Justice
BLATCHFoRD said:
- This case does not rnlse tho question whether
the admiralty Jurisdiction OF the District Court e.
| tends to waters wholly within the body OF state
and from which vessels cannot so pass as to carry
on commerce between places In such state and
places IN another State or in foreign country and
no opinion is Intended to be intmatcd as TO luris-
dcton in such n case"
In the case of PERRY rs. HA1NEs, de-
| Cided on Monday, the opinion OF the ma
| jority of the court ia written by Mr.. JUS
tce Brown, who before his promotion
| to the bench at Washington was for
many years United States District Judge
at Detroit, where he was mainly occupied
in the trial of maritime cases Those
portions of the opinion which have been
published indicate that the court regards
it rs immaterial that the whole OF the
Erie Canal Is within the boundaries OF the
State Of New York, inasmuch as it lis
great highway of commerce between
ports in different States and foreign coun-
tries, and it is navgable by vessels which
also traverse the waters of the Hudson
River.
There is a strong dissenting opinion by
Mr.. Justice BREWER, in which Justices
HARLAN and PEcKHAM and the CHIEF
Justice concur. Justice BREWER con-
tends that the maritime law was orig
inallv meant to cover the sea only, and
that its extension to navigable streams
was intended to embrace only streams
navigable by oceangoing vessels. lie
declares it to be an anomaly that when
the State builds and owns and controls
a waterway 1t cannot provide as II sees
| fit for enforcing claims for work on ves-
sells navigating such waterway, espe-
cially where they are so constructed that
they cannot possibly be used tor pur-
pose of foreign commerce.
| This decision is of special interest at
| this time in view Of the fact that the
people of this State are to vote next week
upon a project for vastly increasing the
extent of the Erie Canal system. In the
eve of the law as thus declared, canal
boat drawn by mule through the mid
| land counties Of New York is, to all legal
intents and purposes, the same thing as
| an American transatlantic liner like the
St. Louis or the ST. Paul. 1t used to be
said Of the late CHARLES l.. BENEDICT,
who was for many years United States
District Judge for the Eastern District
| of New York, that he was 80 Jealous in
the enforcement of the admiralty juris-
dction of the Federal courts that he
would apply it to toy beat sailed by a
| boy on the lake in Prospect Park. The
Supreme Court at Washington has not
gone quite 80 far as this, but it has made
! vigorous stride in the same direction.
