WHAT EXPANSION MEANS.
One Years Results In Trade With Our
New Possessions,

To THE Edition OF THE SUN-Sir: II we

| In Alaska and shipped to the United States
our commerce with our new poss essions In
the fiscal year 1904 amounted to over $lo3.-
| 100000 Compared with ten years previ-
| ously. 1894. that is an increase OF SOS, 900 600
equal to 30. SOC, 900 increase each year for ten
years. or over 100000 month. That ought
to satisfy even Mr.. Edward Atkinson.

There is considerable profit for us in a mer-
chandse commerce OF SOL, 900 900 year.
Both in exports and imports 1t helps 10 keep
the American factory busy. which is what
this country wants.
For several years Alaska has been paying

year In fish. and it is now within only 81 900. 600
Of doing likewise in Gold. MIR Seward hardly
expected such a result.
In 1904 we sold Porto Rico 81 200 600 worth

TYSON'S TITLE TO OFFICE VALID.
Attorney Is enerai Cunneen Denies Sharps
Application 10 Bring Suit to Test II.


ALBANY, Sept. 16.-Attorney- General Cum
neen to-day decided that it was unwise and
improper to permit Lewis R. Sharp, an
automobilist Of Far Rockaway, to bring
an action to test the title Of Frank L. Tyson
New York lawyer, to the once Of police
justice OF the village OF Lawrence, Nassau
county. Sharp was recently arrested and
fined $50 for too fast riding in the village,
and II was asserted that in revenge he
brought this application against Tyson
on the ground that he was not resident
elector OF tho village of Lawrence and
therefore not eligible for the office he held
On Sept. 8, however, Tyson was reappointed
as police justice by the village board, so
that the appointment under which he i'm
posed the fine on Sharp, which was oues-
toned by the latter. has been superseded
by new appointment which ia conceded
to be valid. and therefore the Attorney
General to-day denied sharp's application.

s.ctsr,an School, and the Public Purse.

To THB EDITOR OF THE SUN-.Sfr. The worthy
superintendent OF the tRoman) Catholic Schools
In the Archdiocese OF New York is hugging de
fusion when he writes in the letter which appeared
In your issue OF Sept. "A; Il convinced that the
time will come when they tthe ciiizsns OF the
State of New York will vote TO appropriate some
yearly rccompense from the public school taxes for
the Catholic schools OF our city and state"
The question is not whether the teaching In
schools under religious control Is as good as that
given In tho public schools. whether such schools
are a saving to the State. The fundamental objec-
ton State aid to sectaran schools Is that by the
establishment OF competitive schools by all sccts
and churches, each OF which would receive It's pro
pof ;ional aid. the public school system would be
destroved. There Is no prospect that the citizens
OF New York will ever vote for measure which
will pi oduce that result. They are fairminded
and love justice. and under a republican form OF
government the rights OF the majority must be
preserved. There ore cnly 5000 Roman Catholic
pupils and So. 90 other pupils.
This conclusion Is fortified by other considera-
tions, among them being the Inherent and Innate
lack OF harmony between a hcrarchicsl church and
a republican form OF government. as shown by the
example OF France and by the Constitution OF the
United States. But the fundamental objection
above stated rs enough and !, Is not necessary to
prolong the argument. SIXTf THREE YEARS.
NEW YORK, Sept. TO-
To THR EDITOR OF THE SuN-.Sir: The writer's
experience with children brought up in paroch,al
schools has been anything hut pleasing, and he can
truthfuily say. without any strong feeling Of prrju
dice In religious way. that In his opinion the
sociations and teachings of the parish schools
not very cicvaink for the growing mind OF the
chlld-not meaning that there is anything demoral
izlng In the way these schools are conducted. but
that the aim OF tho parish school is more religious
than educational and the catccbism more lmpor-
tnnt than the 4 r Cs. The children brought
up with a spirit Of fear rather than the Idea OF
teaching them 10 think and do. The class OF chill
drcn at the parochia schools Is easily distinguished
from the children seen at our public schools.
Teach the boys and girls al school 10 read, write
and think for themselves and the religious par, OF
their training chn be well looked after at home.

THE GAMBLING ANNEX.

Horse racing is an excellent pastime
! but has its defects as a business. Con
tests OF skill. activity or strength are
not only legitimate but to be highly
commended as amusements. 1t is when
sport is made means of money max
ing that it degenerates. One of the
historic race tracks of the world, where
famous races have been won and
worlds racing records broken, time and
again, has closed its gates because the
Illinois law denies it the right to II
cense open gambling, and now the as
ISOLATION that owns the track has serv
ed notice on the mayor of Chicago that
it will go before the legislature and
lobby for bill to legaize a nefarious
business. If unsuccessfully, Washington
Park will cease to exist because horse
racing without it's gambling annex can
not exist there. No one can foretell
what the Illinois legislature may do but
there is no uncertainty as to what 1t
ought to do. If the bookmaker and the
tout are inseparable adjuncts of racing,
then both should go together out of eX-
stence. A sport that depends upon
public robbery for its very existence
is best done sway with. When racing
meets are confessedly made mere APP
pliances wherewith to skin" the public
as with a brace faro box, they deserve
no more recognition than any other
common gaming institution. Wherever
gambling runs riot it is accompanied
by individual disgrace The bookmak-
ers' sheets are the advance records
of the criminal courts.
Other sports succeed and prosper
without the open gambling accompani-
ment Betting there will always be,
wherever close contests are waged, but
the base ball game retains it's popu-
farity and draws paying crowds day
after day. without the pool box and the
gaming layout. Foot ball still attracts.
Other amusements do well without the
gamblers and II horse racing Is an ex-
ception it Will best be dropped from tn.
list of legitimate pleasures.

THE NEXT NATIONAL CONVENTION.

With the st. Louis convention less
~ is still entirely at sea as regards its
candidate. With its delegates all
chosen the result of its deliberations
remains mere guesswork, without any
actually solid basis TO build hypothesis
upon. The party of disorganization
was never more apparently disorgan-
lied than it is now upon the eve Of it's
national convention. Its factions We're
never more bitterly opposed or its in
dividual grldges more active and acri-
monious. There will be no love feast
at st. Louis next week. The sound of
knife grinding browns the cooling of the
dove of peace. The one candidate who
has impressed the popular mind with
his availability is Judge Parker. and
his boom has fallen into q half hearted
and apathetic condition. In a conven-
ton that will number 1000 delegates,
il the Porto Ricans are admitted. he
will have probable following of 400
figures far short of the two-thirds
ma jority. OF these not more than go
There is no certainty of Parker's nom
nation Considering the probability of
an effective anti-Parker coalition, his
outlook is extremely uncertain. Should
Parker supporters control the conven-
ton they might repeal the two-thirds
rule but conservative estimates put his
strength at least 100 below the number
necessary to do this.
There Will. however. be no lack of
candidates before the convention. The
foxy German is prominent among the
receptive candidates. Olney Gray, of
Delaware. Mcclellan. Wall. OF Wiscon-
sin, Coclsrell, of Missouri. the unspeak-
able Hearst. Mr. Bryan and even Mr..
Cleveland himself are pushing light
ming rods toward the cloud that is
gathering over st. Louis.
The logic of the situation points to-
ward dark horse a compromise cam
didate between the Bryanites and the
Clevelandites. No essentially eastern
democrat will be tolerated by the fol-
lowers of Mr.. Bryan Parker's nomi
nation means bolt by the populistic
element as Bryan's would indicate
repetition by the eastern democracy of
the detection from the candidate OF '96
and 1900. The convention promises to
be a cutting and slashing affair. with
compromise in the end and defeat as

WRAr A HOSPITAL MEANS.

When Mr.. Carnegie has finished his
chain Of libraries from ocean 90 oceal
like coast lights along the shoals o:
ignorance he will have made certain OF
his FAME. but a grander and more HUI,
man opportunity awaits the multi
millionaire who shall some day match
Cafnegie's free libraries with free hos
pitfalls. Mr.. Carnegie has bought re-
metnbrance. The other will have won
not only gratitude but love. 1t is the
difference between the scribe and the
good samaritan. No public institution
can ever touch all common humanity
so deeply and universally as the one
and hope and help held out to the sick
aud dying 1t Is the contrast between
the love and confidence so freely given
the family doctor and the respect
granted the teacher. Carnegie's libra
ries are temples for the intellect, but
a hospital is harbor for the flesh.
Perhaps few OF those in easier cir
cumstances realize that the average
workingman lives and rears and edu-
Gates his family on less than $50 a
month. To such, a surgical operation
with surgeons fees and high hospital
charges means financial disaster and
in many cases impossibility. A case
near home is fair Illustration. The
