The great gathering of Christian
Endeavors at Baltimore last waek
demonstrates to the world that the
young men and young women of this
country are welding a great influence
for truth aud justice. Standing
for what they believe Is right, they
are fearless in their cause. From
many local societies there go out
young men and women whose influ-
ence is keenly felt because of their
Christian training received in these
organizations, An hour spent in such

There seems to be great deal OF

presidency. The former, who is now

have won for himself increased motor

out the middle now existing there,

The selection of Hon. Elihu
Root to fill the vacancy in the
cabinet caused by the death of
Secretary John Hay not only
illustrates the confidence the
president places in his former
cabinet minister, but the fact
that the latter will insist on sur
rounding himself with the best
and safest material in his party
and, if necessary, go a trifie
beyond the line, as in the case
Of Mr.. Bonaparte. The achieves
ments of Mr.. Root are only
slightly less distinguished than
those of his illustrious and re-
sourceful predecessor, and the
high plane now occupied by the
American opponents of diplom~
acy and statecraft will be adj
hered to by the new secretary.

SENT TO TANMANY HALL.
CTS" UNION PRINCIPLES.
Not an Meditation for Cooperation.
SAYS Mr. Cutting.

President r Fulton Cutting of the Citizens
Union, after a meeting of the committee on
nominations at his Office yesterday afternoon,
said that the Union would send copy of its
declaration of principles to Tammany Hall Mr..
Cutting allowed it to be inferred that this was
in harmony with the Unions plan to keep open
house, but not visit around"
us 1t true" Mr. Cutting asked, that the
Citizens Union has decided to invite Tammany
to consider It's platform and candidates?"
THAT is not stating the case accurately" said
Mr. Cutting 1--WE have adopted merely dec
laration of principles. and we are anxious to
see how other political organizations regard
them"
"wiIl not such an action on the part of the
Citizens Union be construed as an invitation to
cooperate with the Union?" he was asked.
Possibly such construction will be put on
action, but, as stated before. our object
is merely to bring out from all organizations
some expression of opinion"
WAS the meeting unanimous to-day in de-
Gliding to include Tammany Hall among those
who were to receive a declaration of prin-
ciples?"
ut was unanimous in deciding to send it to
all organizations the local Democratic organi-
zation as we'll as Others" said Mr.. Cutting.
Mr. Murphy, secretary of the Citizens Union.
was asked If there had been any date set for
conference He said, No" Asked how the
different organizations were going to confer
with the committee of the Citizens Union, he
replied that he did not know that they would
confer. If they wished to join the Union in the
coming municipal campaign he supposed that
they would write and inform the Union of the
fact.
Anything that is DONE" said Mr.. Murphy,
must be done our platform, promulgated
last April. OF course the Union will be willing
to accept suggestions that any of the bodies
that Join may offer, but the whole the plat
form Of the Union will be the basis of the cam
paign."
1t was suggested that TO the outsider 1t
looked as if the Citizens Union would say to
the other organizations: Here is our platform;
these are the going to nominate.
Take them or go to thunder"
Mr.. Murphy said that it might look that way,
looking at it in strictly political light But he
insisted that the Citizens Union was not po-
litical organization, and in support Of his argu-
ment said that while Seth Low had been nom
mated by the Citizens Union for Mayor, he had
never subscribed to the principles of the Union.
Mr.. Murphy asked who of the nomtnat-
ing committee attended the meeting, but he re-
fused to tell. He did say that Frederick s.
Lamb had retired from the committee on &C
count of Ill health, and that his successor had
not been elected.

test was especially spirited 1t done silently,
all Of the voters coming down the aisle through
