This seems like dangerously plain speech

Of the pulpit's income takes the form of
pennies and nickels. Is Christianity to be
put upon strictly financial basis in these
early years of the twentieth century? And
is that financial basis to be elevated to such
height that the very poor cannot crawl
upon 1t? AS long as the plate passer kept
his eyes shut and was grateful for even a
penny as token Of spirit of giving this
form OF church maintenance was COM
mendable. But when the practice was In
augurated Of taking account of every do
nation and making mental notes of the
benefcence of particular givers then the
plate began to assume an aspect far from
harmonious with the fundamental precepts
of the Christian doctrine. Better no plate
than no pennies or nickels

Pennies in the Plate.

There Is a distinct tendency. 1t would
seem. on the part Of pulpit exhorters to
raise the minimum of church givings by
way of the plate. Not long ago priest in
the neIghborhood of New York protested
against the presence OF pennies In the plate.
The widows mite. he declared. was better
in her purse than in the church plate, and
those who could give more than a penny
should be ashamed to give 50 little. There
fore he announced that he wanted no more
pennies. Presumably his congregation now
keeps the small change at home. Yester-
day DIR. Parkhurst entered protest against
niekels.- He said:
"A man listens. and with attention to an
eloquent exposition Of the duty and splendid

creases, grudgingly given. hamper rather
than permit the proper expansion OF bu-
reau. in any municipal department. 1t Is
this policy against which the District raises
its protest. These petty prunings. too, are
the more Objectionable because they enable
Congress to force the present taxpayers OF
the District to assume on a cash payment
basis the whole burden of constructing the
great permanent works. This insurance bu-
reau is only an instance of the method
adopted to squeeze surplus out OF the
local revenues. Every municipal depart
ment Is in more or less. the same condition.
More clerks are needed and the officials
deserve large compensation. More police
men are required and they should all be
given better pay. More firemen, more
teachers. more street sweepers. more in
spectors in the interests OF the pubic
health, more in fact Of everything that
goes to make up the municipal establish
ment But by getting along with small
forces on small pay Congress is keeping the
District tout of debt" Meanwhile the best
teachers are resigning to accept positions IN
other cities, and so the game goes. This is
economy that costs.

No Charity This Session.

And 50 Mrs. Dominis does not get her
tidy sum of 100000 for the so-called Ha-
waiian CROWN lands after all! The con-
ferees ON the sundry civil bill having struck
that item from the budget Mrs. Dominis
will be compelled to continue her campaign
Of persuasion. and probably another session
win see her actively engaged in addressing
arguments to members of the houses in an
effort to convince them that the lands
which under the monarchy belonged to. the
state do not under the republic belong to
the state, but to her. She came pretty close
to success this time, but better slip at
the end in the interest Of justice than not
at all. This is an item for which there
is no justification In equity and 1t can be
excused only the ground Of charity.
Until Mrs. Dominis has been reduced to the
necessity Of looking to the state for the
means of a comfortable maintenance the
charity plea will lack force.

Canada and the Alaskan Boundary

Canada continues to chafe over that OBJ
noxious Alaskan boundary commission. The
Toronto Star. which has been foremost
among those organs which have clamored
for less American representation on the
part of the United States notes certain
comments of this paper on the subject. re-
Gently printed, and thus exclaims:
THE commission is to bring Canada's
claim to polite concl usion, and exists for
no other purposei The defendant saws the
plaintiffs claim is not sound, and so there
can be no lawsuit. Six commissioners are
to meet, discuss the whole matter learned
ly and at length, for the sake of polite
ness, and end by withdrawing Canada's
claim. Such Is the view of The Washing
ton Star. But, at least, we have gained
TINS, that the merits Of the case will be
set rorth In argument. and the evidence
piled up where all can see it."
Ii all Canada wants Is an exposition of
evidence, then this commission will as
suredly accommodate her nicely. 1t per-
maps VIII be curious exhibit If thoroughly
collected and frankly displayed, without
excelsior or editing in the partisan interests
or the dominion. Indeed it Is strongly sus-
pected on this side that one of the most
convincing arguments Of the validity of
the claims Of the United States would be a
complete publication of the whole case,
especially those Canadian documents and
maps which. In the days before the gold
fields OF the upper Yukon had been dis
covered and had given the Lynn canal and
other inlets to the shortcuts to the fields
high value, cheerfully outlined the
boundary according to the present defini-
tion by our geographers. 1t seems rather a
waste of time. but if this is the only way
TO let the dominion down easy it is per-
haps a good way after all.

sort of men to represent the state at the

control but head that delegation. His pres

The Minority's Mistake.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The flibustering course Of the democrats
OF the House is i'll advised. 1t may have
been we'll enough to filibuster to prevent
the republicans unseatlng Butler, but after
Butler was unseated the continuance of
the filibustering tactics is not justifiable
For the minority of the House to say that
there shall be no legislation at all simply
because partisan injustice has been done
them by the majority, or the rules of the
House perverted In doing it, is neither dig
nffied nor logical. The country has some
rights above those Of political parties, and
among these are the rights to needed legis-
lation. For any party to attempt to deny
1t this legislation merely out Of pique or
anger against partisan opponents Is an In
defensible attitude to take The impression
such action necessarily makes Is little short
of childish. and its effect Is more to injure
the party making It than the party against
which ii is directed.

The Result in Delaware.

cies Protection, sound money, expansion,

of the long struggle in Delaware from the
national viewpoint. Presumably the repub-

These two votes were not necessary for the
carrying out Of party policies. The repubE
lican strength in the Senate was already
sufficient for that. But the daily airing in
the dispatches OF factional turmoil and
grievances in even as small state as Del
aware must have become extremely dis
agreeable to those charged with preserving
party discipline throughout the country
The Delaware sore. for the time at least. is
healed and. measurably, the party's health
will benefit.
Locally some uneas iness remains. For
part OF 1t. however, there would appear to
be small warrant. Surely Mr.. Alice firmly
as he may continue friend Of Mr.. Ad-
dicks. will serve out his term. 1t seems
almost absurd to suppose that he meditates
making way by resignation for the man
whom the legislature would not elect. Some
bold things have been done in Delaware.
Mr.. Addicks Is accredited with schemes and
performances away out of the ordinary, and
his control over his followers is masterful.
But such trick as that would arouse the
angry disgust Of the whole country, and
overwhelm everybody connected with. It.
The man surrendering his commission, the
governor making the appointment, and the
man accepting the appointment would merit
and receive general eXecration. A senator
ship is not to be juggled with in that fash
ion.
AS for the future of the party in Della

Mr.. rillman and the Race Problem.

Those colored citizens of Peoria, ILL.,, who
at mass meeting the other night passed
a resolution requesting northern citizens
to refrain from inviting Senator Tillman
to take part in public functions as public
speaker on the race problem" were guilty
Of foolish performance. The senator from
South Carolina is doing their race no in
Jury He states his case too extremely
too Unexpectedly. He shows conciuslveiy
that he has no remedy for the difhcu1ty ne
discusses. To accept his views IS TO con-
fess the difficulty insoluble. He does not
advocate the reinstatement OF the negro
but he grades him as savage, ana warns
the country against him in any other ca
pacity than as a mental under white con-
troll and without ambition to rise above that
station in life. The negro who reads ana
writes and tries to think little for him.
self is as Objectionable to Mr.. Tillman as
he was to Simon Legree."
There need be no fear of a wide accept
ance of that appra1sement of the case. NO
statesman will undertake to build on that
foundation. A return to actual slavery is
no more out of the question than Is the
proposition to hold the negro now that he is
a free man In virtual slavery. In his best
estate the negro Is making progress. He is
showing intelligence, industry, acquisitive-
ness and respect for law. He is home
builder and a church-builder. What OF
him? That is the question. The vicious
negro who will not learn, or learning mis-
applies instruction. is an easy proposition
the very easiest. There is remedy for
him, and nobody in the country is so alb
solutely certain of getting the hot end Of
the poker. No complaint about the laws
delay will ever be heard in his case.
But. Unexpectedly as Mr. Tillman chooses
to express himself, and extreme as his views
are, he is entitled to hearing; and it may
be just as well for both white and black,
north and south, to realize that he is sin
cere in his utterances. He has a following.
too There are men in perfect agreement
with him who deprecate his choice Of terms
and complete frankness. They deliver
themselves more. automatically, but they
hold with him that citizenship, with it's
rights and responsibilities, is beyond the
just claim of the negro, and that the well
fare of the country demands that he have
no share in shaping the country's destinies
or choosing its officials.
The race problem is not to be settled in a
corner or by denying anybody a hearing.
Lucky will the country be if after every
have been duly weighed a settlement is
reached which shall accord Justice to all
who may be entitled to 1t.
