TALK or PEACE IN DELAWARE.
Republicans May Now Drop AdtiIchs and
DUPONT and Get TngcfIcr

DOVER, Del, May oo.-The eEd of the
Delaware Republican fractional wrangle.
which periodically deprives Delaware Of
her representation in the United States
Senate, appears to be in sight. An appar-
emily well authenticated report is in circu-
lation that steps will soon be taken for an
amaleamation of the two factions.
Politics, which are usually relcgated to
the rear when peaches and pears and patches
of berries come up for the attention Of Della
ware farmers, have been suddenly hustled
to the forefront by whispering around
that j. Edward Addicks and Henry A.

would mean the abandonment of their party

Undoubtedly, there is reason In this
criticism; the distinction made is arbi-
trary; but probably Mr.. CARNEGIE 8
exclusion of the Roman Catholic and
Jewish institutions was due to his re-
lection of the theory that religion is the
necessary and obligatory basis Of all
education, and this religion dogmatio
and exclusive. He did not want to do
anything for the encouragement of
religious education specifically, and he
seems to have assumed that Roman
Catholic and Jewish colleges and semi
naries are primarily for the teaching Of
Of specific religion. while the primary
purpose Of the Protestant institutions,
as also Of the wholly secularized, is
rather education apart from religion.
He did not go to the extreme Of
STEPHEN G1RARD, who left about s, ooo,-
900 in 1881 to found the institution at
Philadelphia bearing his name, with the
condition that no minister or ecclesiastic
of any sect or Church should have any
connection with the college or be allowed
to visit its premises; but he showed
an indisposition to further any sort Of
distinctively religion, instruction. His
theory seems to have been that colleges
other than Roman Catholic and Jewish
are secular institutions; and practically
they may now be called secular. Sec
tartan influences may have entered into
their foundation, but the theory that
religion should be the b;lsis of their in
struction no longer prevails in them. In
their faculties the preponderating opinion
is on the side Of religious skepticism, as
expressed In contemporary criticism of
the historical validity Of the Scriptural
basis Of religion.
Mr.. CARNEGIEs distinction az made in
his deed Of gift is unquestionably arbi-
trary and is open to the criticism OF tho
Catholic Citizen, but he had right to
make it. The improperly of looking
gift horse in the mouth is proverbial.
Moreover, the Roman Catholic and jew
ish institutions will better conserve the
ends for which they were established il
they are supported by vital religious
faith rather than assisted by religious
inidelity radically opposed to those
ends. They can console themselves
by drawing the inference from the ex-
clusion Of their colleges and the incu-
sion of Protestant institutions that in the
mind Of the giver of the fund the lat
ter are outside Of the sphere Of religion;
that their education is scientific rather
than religious: natural rather than super
natural in its basis

Remarkable Meeting in Bosto

What the Springfield Republican calls

last week ito welcome its new president

declaration of unceasing corrective criti-

out better speeches than might be in

that he would not allow much of it to be
reported. He is going to Use it again.
A good anti-mperialist speech is no. to

it could not be used again. Mr.. ADAMS
intends to copyright his words and use
them at every anti-imperialist meeting

A good speech, however rare at SUI CHI

sioners, in proposing to construct tunnel
under the Fast River at Thirty-fourth
At reet. furnishes. without preliminary proc.
lamation to that effect. the reason for it's
opposition last winter to the revival of the
perpetual franchise which the Belmont
interests sought at the hands OF the Iegis-
lature for the so-called Steinway tunnel
at FOrty-second street. The attempt to
revive and amend that perpetual fran
chise, granted in the days before the value
of such concessions was fully appreciated
by the public, was unsuccessful, owing to
the activity Of the Rapid Transit Com
mssioners. The success of their efforts
in this regard. however, left the residents
of Queens and the upper part OF Kings
boroughs without desired access to the
center Of Manhattan. Among the objec-
tons urged against the Steinway revival,
the most influential, but not strongly urged
at the time was that it would center at the
Grand Central Station-a point of high and
increasing traffic congestion-the assembled
passengers OF two rapidly growing bor-
oughs.
From an operating pont of view the
gathering of this mass at the Grand Central
STATEN was Objectionable, but it was not
insisted on because it seemed that the
reasons urged-purey economic ones
were sufficient. Under the plan proposed
by the Belmont interests. a perpetual
franchise was to be revived from which
the city would get no adequate return,
and this seemed enough to give the measure
its Quietus.
The new plan proposed by the Rapid
Transit Commissioners ins,ires to the
transpontine population of Kings and
Queens the desired access to Manhattan.
and at the same time insures a limited
franchise to the operating company from
which the city viii obtain a handsome
return. 1t will open the field - all bidders.

The problems of government in the Rail

in which Christians predominant or are
numerous have appeared at times almost
interminable. But in New York city,
where all elements of this conglomerate
population are now largely represented.
complete harmony prevails, undisturbed
by conflicts. collisions or rivalries.
Last summer more than 500 Greeks,
1000 Syrians, 500 Turks, 800 Rumanians,
as well as Bulgarians and Servians not
separately classified, landed here and re-
enforced the local colonies. Practically all
of these newcomers are traders, pedlers
and vendors OF small wares, in constant
competition with each other.

sidered among the shrewdest traders in the
Levant, make "A speciality of dealing in car

MIR. Carnrgie's Pension Fund.

Mr.. CARNEGIE s gift of $40, Ooo, 900 as a
fund to be used to provide annuities or
pensions for disabled college professors
is limited by the condition that faculties
of State established and supported insti-
'utions and of colleges under the control
If religious sect, or which REQUIRE a
majority of the trustees, officers or stu.
dents to belong to any specified sect,
shall be excluded from its benefits. That
is, his purpose is to promote secular
education only.
Naturally, colleges for religious in
struction or Of which religion is the prime
basis are aggrieved by such limitation,
For example, the Catholic Citizen Of
Milwaukee objects to the exclusion of
Roman Catholic institutions. OF these
there are now in this country PA semi
naries and colleges. Moreover, in the
board OF twenty-five trustees for the
management Of the fund appointed by
Mr.. CARNEGIE no Roman Catholic is
included, though among the number are
presidents Of colleges which are of Prot
estant foundation and influence.
The point made by the Catholic Citizen
is that the distinction is false which as
sumes that what is broadly Protestant
is non-sectarian because there are sects
in Professionalism, but what is Catholic
is sectarian because there are no scots
in Catholicism, Such distinction in
its view, sets up a religious test More
over, it excludes Jewish institutions, and
accordingly Jews also are left unrepre-
sented in the Carnegie board.
For example, Princeton Uni, ersitv is
classed by the Roman Catholic paper as
Presbyterian, and Chicago University az
Baptist-at any rate, as dstinctively
Protestant in the sense that their facul-
ties are limited to Protastants. The
Catholic University at Washington that
paper describes as no more sectarian
than they. 1t is Roman Catholic because

inclined to assume the attitude OF in
struoting American engineers on the
subject which they have primarily in
charge. His remarks will be studied
without regard to the nationality Of
their origin and will commend them
selves, or fail to commend themselves, ac-
cording TO their intrinsic scientific merits.
Moreover, for canal purposes at least,
we contend that Mr.. BUNAU-VARILLA is
a pretty thoroughly naturalized Amer
lean. There has been much speculation
and some misunderstanding about the
handspring Of his extraordinary activity
in the promotion Of the Panama Canal
as an American enterprise. To those
who can understand character that is
a somewhat uncommon combination Of
practical energy and resourcefulness
with purely sentimental devotion to a
cherished ideal, there is nothing unin-
telligible in his performances. 1t is a
fact worth noting that every time he
has appeared and concerned himself
with one Of the successive phases Of the
canal question, it is this
country that has profted. not Mr..

Debs Versus Gompcrs.

Thus saith Mr.. EUGENE V. DEBs, the
apostle of the new industrialism.
The old unions were organized to promote har-
mony with the employer: that Is. to harmonic the
interests OF the employer and employee. The new
national organization, which we are to bring into
existence in Chicago June 81. will be based on the
| absolute antaronism OF the two classes.
d" It will recognise the class struggle and will use
all Its power TO overthrow the cap.,allsic class and
| abolish the wage system.-
In this pronouncement Mr. DEBs, the
champion Of socialism in one Of its least
defensible forms, squarely challenges
MIR. GoMPERs, the champion of unionism.
He also appears to defy society in gen.
eral by his effort to draw sharp line
between those who work for pay and
those who pay for work Mr.. GoMPERs 8
opinion Of employers is not highly COM
plimentary to that class. but Mr. DEBs
finds them so loathsome that he proposes
to abolish them.
We presume that both Of these gem
tlemen, and a goodly number of their
respective followers, are honest and
sincere in their desire to make the world
q better and more comfortable place
In which to live. Their greatest error
lies in their assumption that they and
they alone are the proprietors of the
only panaoea by which such an end may
be achieved. We do not know just where
Mr.. GoMPERs would stop in his clamor
for higher wages and shorter hours. Mr..
DEBs would abolish the wage system,
and says nothing about hours of labor.
We doubt if either of them knows just
what he wants, or just what he would do
il all power were placed in his hands.
The activities Of these leaders, and
that OF Mr.. JOHN MITCHELL who is about
to inaugurate campaign for an effective
consolidation Of the coal operatives in
preparation for another conflict with
their employers. are not without GER
tain advantage at the present time. Re-
cent extensive disturbances in the field
OF labor have called public attention to
the issues as it has never been called
before. An active controversy between
the Gompers unionists and the Debs in
would attract closer atten-
ton, and bring more clearly before the
public it's place and part in labor con-
tests. Thus far the public has held itself
as spectator. Some day it will become
an active participant, because it must
for it's own protection.
Laws cannot make people content
with their incomes, but they can protect
those who are willing to work, and they
can prevent labor organizations from
bulldozing into their ranks those who
do not desire to join them. Public opin-
ion already condemns the sympathetic
strike, the boycott, and violence. Laws
can establish the rights Of the individual.
whether employer or employee, and
protect him in the exercise of them.
DEBs and GoMPERs now set their views
above the law.
