MORAL EDUCATION.

Governor Vardaman of Mississippi
cisims that free negroes are morally
deteriorating and that those who can
read and write are worse than the
Illiterate. The minimum of iliiteracy
among them is III New England where
the rate is 2l1 per cent and the maxi.
mum in Louisiana, Mississippi auu
South Carolina, often designated as the
black belt" where the rate is 65.I per
cent. Governor Vardaman seeks 10
show that the proportion of crime
among the New England negroes is
four and half times greater than
among their southern countrymen, and
on this basis. practically argues In
favor of ignorance.
There is an evident fallacy in the
conclusion thus sought to be derived,
because there are many other elements
to be considered than mere numbers
and education. Geographical consider
atoms density of population, the sur
rounding conditions, the opportunities
for crime, and a great variety OF APP
plicable facts, would easily destroy the
force of Governor Vardaman's deduc-
ton. In the former slave states, since
1850. sos. S07 $3.50, has been spent Tor
schools for the negroes, and the HIT
eracy among them, which In that year
was seventy per cent has now dimih-
ishcd to ii.5 per cent, which Is good
reduction, although still quite dispro-
portlonate to the percentage am"Ng the
native whites, which is only 49,.
But the argument of Governor VAR
daman has In 1t point that Is peinS
very seriously considered by prominent
educators throughout the Union. ana
which applies % the whites as well as
TO the negroes IL has been Contended
for years that our system of educa-
ton has been too rigidly seculari2ed'
and that. in the effort to avoid even
n suspicion Of UNCONVENTIONAL ten
dency. the morality that civilization IT.
self recognizes has been ignored. ms
Is a serious proposition, deserving OF
careful attention. our institutions
were framed so as to insure the Ut
most religious liberation, consistent
with the preservation of society ana
to eliminate the bigotry and fanatlclshh
that had disgraced the Old World. But
the government rests upon fuhda-
mental principles that are common TO
all civilized races and nations Inc
question that now attracts the interest
of the leading schoolmen, is whether
II is not practicable to introduce moral
features into the common schools that
would not interfere with the national
equilibrium. The Ten Commandments
are hardly susceptible of misinterpre-
tation and there are scholars who be-
ljeve that a school-book could easily
be constructed that would embrace
-hos. features of morality that are
common TO all religions and that would
raise the tone OF citizenship in the
rising generation.
God and the Moral Law in them
selves. and as finely condensed into the
Two rules OF action that have been
termed royal" and that express
mans duty towards the Supreme Being\
and towards his neighbor, are part OF
American civilization and constitute
the true leaven of individual, social
and national life. The necessity for
their definite impression upon educa-
ton is rapidly becoming an acknowl-
edged proposition.

The army OF the Yalu is advancing

northeast of Newchwang and not far

one which landed at PitZ-Ze-wo, Is
probably represented by an advance

resolve itself in the next few days into
siege of Port Arthur on the one

PANAMA CANAL AND PROSPERITY

Professor Emery X. johnson of
Philadelphia. In the Railway World.
opposes the views of a great many
other important railroad men In the
United States, in relation TO the effect
of the construction of the Panama
Canal on domestic trade. He auue-
ipates that the railway lines In the
Southwestern States will be seriously
injured, and that the transcontiucniNi
lines will be sustained, chiefly by locAI
traffic. other writer's have claimed
that California, oregon and Washing
ton. will derive no benefit from the
new international highway
The views of these gentlemen are
not borne out by study of statistics.
They all appear to ignore the vast IN
crease of commerce that must newt
ably result from the canal, and the
DEVELOPMENT that is even now con-
spicuous on the Pacific The foreign
