WHAT CAN GOVERNMENT Dor

The New York World In an editorial
declares that 1T might be well II there
were some way TO suspend state func-
tions 50 far as they traverse the law Of
the land, OF honesty and Of decency."
Il classes together New Jersey and
Utah: THE one arms Illegal corpora
tions to prey on the publics pocketi the
other sustains an illegal plural mar
riage in defiance OF public conscience"
This is a serious arralgnment of New
Jersey, but In large measure Il is
just Under its laws corporations are
formed to conduct all sorts OF business
which is generally regarded as ques-
tionable. And most Of the charters
granted by that state are for concerns
that mean to do business in other
States. A business which In New York
is regarded as against public policy
may yet be carried on in that state
under the sanction Of a New Jersey
charter.
across the river is true OF Delaware.
Some years ago we passed a corpora
tion law that was frankly for the pur-
pose of raising revenue. It's chief pur-
pose is to charter concerns which do
not do dollars worth Of business in
this State after they have been legal
lied. In other words. we are granting
charters in defiance Of the courtesy that
should obtain among States, to enable
the citizens Of neighboring common
wealths to defy tho laws under which
they are presumed to live
And we have never heard any good
defense Of the New Jersey or the Della
ware law, save that 1t brings in reve-
nue.. But OF course a lottery would do
that.
The World raises grave question:
Is It possible under the constitution for
the national government to step in and
modifya state law that is generally re-
garded as. against public policy? or
If II cannot be done under the consti-
tuition. should not that instrument be
amended? It is a peculiar condition
under which state may virtually
authorize polygamy, and other State,
organize wildcat corporations to pre-,
upon the public.

have wasted so much valuable tlm4 on
non-essentials.
1t is the strong man who is liberal,
and the narrow viii stin continue to
draw invidious comparisons between
creeds. minimizing the faults Of one,
only to exaggerate the peculiarities Of
all others. The New York Sun in an
endeavor to show the tendency Of this
period says:
Recently two conspicuous Congrega-
tional ministers OF Boston exchanged
pulpits with two equally distinguished
Unitarian ministers. and on Washing
TOMS Birthday the Congregational and
Unitarian Clubs of that town came to-
gether frateuially I'm a common meet
ing. These indications % a Congrega-
tional surrender to Unitarianism lead a
Methodist paper. the zion's Herald Of
Boston. to ask with some alarm II ac-
tually the doctrinal differences between
the two churches have come to an end
in the triumph Of the religious school
which rejects the divinity Of Christ.
The question Is pertinent, for DIT.
Lyman Abbott. nominally n Congrega-
tional minister Of eminence, expressed
great satisfaction, at the joint meeting
OF the two Boston clubs, that there
should be such an exhibition OF good
Fellowship; and he spoke OF the theo-
logical separation between them as
merely difference I'm metaphysical
conceptions Of the Trinity and the di-
vinity OF Christ" II this Is the gem
eral feeling Of Congregational minis-
tors. there Is no reason why the two
denominations should not get together.
DIR. Abbotfs distinction which he APP
plies to the representatives, OF two theo-
logical schools is Illuminating. When
In private conversation two intelligent
men OF these different faiths discuss
theology, they are apt TO reach the
conclusion that their differences are
more fanclful than real, and that It is
indeed due to difference in meta
physical conception" OF things we be-
lieve but cannot fully comprehend.
It is probably true that there is more
real liberality in the pulpit than in the
pew. but the pulpit IS held in check
and dare not express on all occasions
it's true sentiments. But OF one thing
we may be certain; any advance in our
conceptions OF religious truth should
come from our religious teachers. We
have a right to expect them to be ln
the van.

HOME work FOR HARsoRs

The people Of Philadelphia having
become convinced that Congress does
not propose to authorize a survey by
the government OF a s5-foot channel
for the Delaware. are not disposed to
throw up their hands. The New Jer-
sey towns on the Delaware are also in
terested, and Congressman Louden-
slayer Of that state, has introduced a
bill under which a survey might be
made without cost to the government.
1t directs the Secretary of War to
cause a survey to be made Of any nav
igable river or harbor upon proper re-
quest by state or municipal authorl-
ties. providing there is deposited with
the Secretary money or securities tc
cover the cost OF the same.
The intention is to secure by this
means a survey OF the Delaware SC
that the work OF digging the deeper
channel may be undertaken as soon a,
the funds shall be appropriated. II
would probably allow the unexpendee
appropriation 30 be applied TO cuttine
a s5-foot channel as far as the fundi
viii allow. rather than TO compel II,

as provided under the existing survey
