Remarks of DR.. MeKim.
In favor of the report Of the eommn-
tee % fifteen, DR.. McKim said;
"Relision and the state is one thing.
Church and state is another, totally Diff
ferer{ Madison and jefferson have been
Quoted as opposing any relation be-
tween tne state ana religion, when in
fact what they were resisting was the
connection between the state and an
established religion.
Religion already exists in the State.
Jeffe: sen in the Declaration, repeatedly
appeals to Divine Providence. Washing
ton warned us that morality could not
be maintained apart from religion, and
that the state could not exist without
morality and religion. Acknowiedg
ment of an Almighty Ruler. and Judge
OF the Universe, Is Incorporated in our
statute law, in the proceedings of our
courts. and in the law making Sunday
the legal day of rest.
why do not our opponents, to be
consistent, incorporate a movement to
strike out of our statute book every law
which recognizes Almighty God, to ban
ish the oatn from our courts of justice,
to forbid the use of prayer in Congress.
to forbid the appointment OF chaplafnS
in the army, to abolish the Sunday rest
law? Why do they not make league
with the secularist and the agnostic and
the atheist, and secure a law like the
edict of Julian, the Apostate, with
drawing all licenses from educational
establishments whose masters are not
certified not to be Christians?
Merely a Chimera.
MANY chin1eras have been summoned
from the vasty deep of the exuberant
imagination of our opponents. Accord
ing to them it is a menace to morals to
teach our children the moral lawi 1t Is
a menace to religious freedom to rec
ognize the rights of the vast ma jority ot
our citizens, while not Infringing upon
The conscientious belief of the minority !.
This movement of ours is another edIct

schools directs the teachers to instruct
the children IN the moral virtues We
propose to have them instructed by an
authorized textbook of morals. The
same rule directs the teachers to incjl-

specify which are the commands of God
and to teach them. The same rule en-
joins the reading of the Bible at the
opening of the school. We propose t.

Concessions to Men.

These troubles were less serious than
those in European Russia, because I'M
mediate concessions were made to the
mems demands.
Prince Khilkoff believes that Kuro-
patkin can withdraw his army as an
organized force. He instances the fact
that the commander-in-ctie removed
$500 wounded from Mukderf while the
japanese envelopiag movement was be-
ing carried out, which shows that his
force retains an orderly defensive for
nation.
Despite the minister's statements, X
IS the opinion among those best inform
ed as TO the situation In Manchurfa
that the Russians are unable to make a
successful retreat TO Harbin. and that
II will be a most difficult task to mo-
Diiizs new army.

Tho BaConless Snap Bean.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-,Sf,: II there Is
one thing oftener than another that appears on
menus and dinner tables In the city OF New York
at all seasons and particularly at this, II Is green
beans, commonly known In the South as snap
beAns." Now. o snap bean properly cooked Is a
most delectabe edible. but served In the New York
manner It Is no more satisfying than hay have
been eating private and public dinners In New
York for seven years. and in that time have not
eaten seven messes OF snap beans cook ed as they
should be-with bacon. Why Is the New York
taste so ignorant or so perverted
A Southern darby cook would no more think
of cooking green beans without bacon TO season
them than Northern cook would think OF cooking
doughnuts without grease. Bacon Is the natural
accompaniment the culinary complement. SO to
say, OF the green bean. as pork Is the Bostonian
complement OF the white or navy bean, and with
out It's seasoning inspiration the snap bean Is food
nt only for animals that Craze. Why do New
Workers persist in remaining ignorant Of how TO
prepare the snap beam Why do they not educate
their taste to that degree of Intelligence which will
enable them TO appreciate snap Deans III thef oniy

Frcnchmen-of one of the nnest and most fash
ionable restaurants In New York. and one OF tho
dishes served was snap beans. expected Of
course, to get the usua! gastronomc inanity. But
no, before tho waiter reached me l caught the
fragrance OF the properly cooked bean. and al
most rose and shouted for Joy. My hosts smiled,
1 told them what thought of baoonless beans.
They said the frcnchman at home always cooked
his green beans with bacon. They also said that
they had tried to educate their New York patrons
TO take their beans seasoned with bacon, but they
had been unable to do SO.
A Southerner will no more eat snap bean cooke ed
without bacon than New Yorker will eat celery
without salt There Is . tradition that New York
always takes to herself what others have proved
