III Nov 2T-The state

from Minister Beaupre at Bogo-
ia, dated Nov. p. in which he states
that considerable excitement prevails at
the Colombian capital. that there is
much talk, Of raising an army, but no
troops have yet been enlisted and there
are rumors in the city OF revolution In
the state Of Cauca directed against the
MarrOQuin government. RumOrs have
reached the state department from an
other source that General Reyes mis-
sion to Washington is primarily TO try

against the ratification of the Bunau-
Nariua-Hay canal treaty.

There also is talk Of the formation
OF combination Of south American
countries, directed against the United
States Respecting the coming Of Gem

at the state department that much

Respecting the statements attributed

Assisted College Immigrant,

Three Dirigo colleges-the University
Of Maine, Colby Bates have established
an intercollegiate board Of arbitration,
to which will be referred all athletic con-
troversies arising among them. This is
the first bit OF clear blue in the wide
and cloudy armament Of intercollegiate
sport. a sky prolific in thunder and light
ming. 1t is vain to look for any extension
of that azure rift
Bates and Colby and the University are
only simple little colleges. They have
their troubles and squabbles, but their
worst war is peace to the perpetual hos
tilities or armed neutralities Of the big
| colleges. Besides. these sophisticated
institutions have customs which are not
only dear but expensive, and diplomatic
and subtle ways of getting the better of
| one another.
Their pickets, scouts and spies are al
ways in the enemy's country, visiting his
feeding schools, cutting OFF his supplies,
Is BILL JONES, who has the making of a
great full back in him, spelling out his

emy and gratifying the wishes Of proud
mother by fitting for Blank? Along
come tho polished ministers plenipo-
tentiary from Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Columbia or Pennsylvania. They reason
with that young man. They are SO
eager to have him get good education
that they even offer to pay his way
through college. The young man. fiat
tered by such attentions and such Of
fers, decides to give Yale. let lis say, the
benefit of his presence. The New Haven
atmosphere looks most congenial. But
the rival TALLEYRANps are always
watching him If he Is Yale's as sub
freshman, Columbia or Princeton may
lure him away by the time he is ready
to ENTER college And even after he
has passed his examinations he may
be induced to change his mind.
Is this enthusiastic devotion to ANA
teur sport unknown in Maine? Surely
there must be many Maine boys who
have gone elsewhere as assisted college
immigrants. At any rate, the large
colleges will not give up habit so ad-
vantageous to education. We expect
to see some Of those curious gentlemen
of leisure who pass their lives happily

tributing to the athletic subsidy and
corruption fund, establish an endow-

question Of tho introduction Of religion
specifically into the public schools-the
question which agitates 30 greatly
very many Of our correspondents Tho
necessity for molding and developing
the moral character of children occupies
much Of his argument, but he does not
advocate the use Of any directly religious
means to that end. He seems rather to
ignore them.
The sentiments which President ELIOT
would have American schools cherish
and inculca,e are these: Family love.
respect for law and public order, love OF
freedom, and reverence for truth and
righteousness, and, incidentally. but
incessantly, "the doctrine that we are
all members one OF another" The grow
ing interdependence Of civilized society
leads him to the opinion that 1T Is high
time that direct and vigorous inculca-
ton of the fundamental social sentiments
should be deliberately made part OF
the discipline Of every school and college
In the country" As such sentiments
are recognized by every religion and
religious denomination and none objects
to them, minor religious differences,
he contends, Should not be allowed to
prevent the teaching of this primary
principle to all the children in the land.
Now, undoubtedly, all the opponents
Of the introduction of religion into the
public schools will agree with President
ELIOT in advocating the teaching OF
these sentiments and principles, but, not
less unquestionably, will those who are
now agitating for the introduction of
religious teaching reject them on the
ground of insufficiency and an irreligious
tendency. Roman Catholics and men
who are not of their Church, Of whom the
Rev. Mr.. GEER is representative, would
deny their efficacy unless based on relig-
ious faith and supported by il. They
would regard the teaching of civic vir-
tues independently Of religious faith, as
distinctvely irreligious. They want re-
lgious dogma, and they would be likely
to look on such instruction as President
ELIOT wants as dangerous attempt to
substitute the State FOR religion as n
moral guide.
So strong is The conviction Of the
Roman Catholic Church that direct and
dogmatic religious instruction Is neces-
sary that it has established in this ,coun-
try, according to the Messenger maga-
zine, nearly four thousand parochial
schools, with nearly million pupils, In
order to keep Its children from the
influences of the public schools The
satisfaction Of President EMoTs de-
mand for the systematic teaching Of the
social and civic virtues, merely, no mat
ter how complete. would not lessen
Catholic opposition to secular education,
and might rather intensity il,
The question is agitated with increas-
ing earnestness by Roman Catholics
wherever they are most numerous, and
eventually it may become very serious
question for political decision.

One Law for All.

In the defence of SAMUEL PARKS on
the charge OF extortion, # determined
effort was made TO convince the Judge
and jury that even though the fact be
established that PARKS coerced an en-
ployer of labor into paying money in
order that his business might proceed
uninterrupted this would not constitute
the crime alleged in the indictment il
the money we're received by PARKS for
the union which he represented. That
ie, it was soberly argued that an act de
fined as a crime in the Penal Code would
be no crime if the beneficiary of it was
labor union. Although such a propo-
sition is preposterous, it is but the logical
outcome Of the reasoning which accords
to men banded together under the guise
of a union rights and imnunities not
allowed to them as individuals, and not
allowed to other associations.
In the case OF PARKS it was argued that
the unions and their representatives
were above the law, and that their actions
must be measured by standards entirely
different from those set up for the other
members of the community. The same
argument has been heard in defence Of
union .pickets, entertainment COM
mittees," flying squadrons' and "edu-
cational committees charged with as
saults, arson and similar crimes against
non-lnion men.
1t took the Parks jury fifteen minutes
to demolish any idea he may have held
that there is one law for the unionist and
another for the non-unionist, If organ
izations Of laborers will take the fact to
heart, they will strengthen themselves
and accomplish much more for their
members than they can ne long as they
bold to tho other belief. A crime is a
crime, though it is committed in the
name Of church or bank or labor
union.
