Sank into Quicksand.

WILMINGTON, DEL, July 5.-A strange case
was reported to the authorities here today by
Samuel Stein, Hebrew. 20 years old, giving
his residence as New York.
He stated that while stealing ride on q
Pennsylvania railroad freight train from Bal
timore to New York in company with another
Hebrew of the same age, from New York,
whose name he did not know, they jumped
from the train at Edgemoor, Del, near here,
to escape arrest.
Stein escaped, but his companion landed IN
a bed of quicksand in marsh and quickly
sank from sight.
The authorities and number of Hebrew
residents investigated the case, but no trace Of
the missing man was found. A hat was dis.
covered near by. which Stein says his com.
panion wore The investigation will be con
tinued. Funds will be raised by the Jewish
residents for this purpose.

The Atlantic City Disaster.

To THE EDITOR or The SUN-SIr: The verde
rendered by the Coroner's jury recently concern
ing the appalling disaster to the electric train al
Atlantic City on October ~, in which sixty lives
were lost and a score Of passengers more or less
seriously injured. again proves the utter useless
ness OF that ONCE.
Testimony given at the inquest showed clearly
that the drawbridge was palpably defective. which
fact was duly reported TO the proper authority by
the brldgetender. Bridgetender Stewart did the
best he could with the imperfect appliances In use.
No man could have done better. The saddllng of
the blame upon the aged bridgetender was little
less criminal than the neglected conditions which
made the greater crime possible.
In view OF these facts. patent TO all who have
given the question the least study. the finding OF
the Coroner surpasses the comprehension OF all
ordinary Intellect. The once OF Coroner Is a relic
OF antiquity and should be abolished. IL serves
no good purpose.
Safety Is sacrificed for speed daily. The public
is In large measure responsible for this state OF
Affairs. The higher the speed the greater the popu-
Iarity OF the train. However. II Is perfectly obvi-
Gus. In view OF this calamity and the admission
made by high railroad ofhcials that no drawbrldge
Is absolutely safe. that railroads should be com

Compensation for Magistrate whitman.

To MAGISTRATE CHARLES L. WHIrMAH-,Strs Per
nit me TO thank you earnestly for your action as
reported In The SUN OF this morning. I am re
joiced that you had the trueheartcdness to decide
as you did In the case OF the unfortunate girl who
was brought before You yesterday. The whole
system by which women suffer these arrests Ia
cruel and absurd: cruel because II renders q woman
who has once made an unfortunate step the per
petuAl slave OF the bOndsman. and foolish because
II in no way lessons the vicel { should prevent.
There IL another side OF the question that no one
seems 10 consider. Why Is such pains taken 10 pre-
serve the virtue OF men and none 70 protect the virtue
OF womcnl Every good looking woman Is annoyed
many times BY the unwelcome advances OF strang-
ers. yet there are no policemen eager 20 demand
from the man his Intentions and arrest him II he
has not a Ave dollar bill at hand. One would sup
pose that the chastity OF the men was the supreme
care Of the city authorities.
Il is easy for any man to free himself from tho
unwelcome approaches Of any woman. a word.
a look will prove ct once that he has no wish TO con-
verse with her. Whenever a policeman secs two
people talking together. as he supp0ses for evil
purposes. he should certainly arrest them both.
Men have long boosted OF their chivalry TO women.
but better Than chivalry Is justice.

Revolt OF the Children in Poland.
From the Spectator.


The Instruction of the children" IN Prusslan
Poland may produce notable consequences and
must already be a perpleIity both to the German
Emperor and TO the Roman Cuna. In pursuance
OF its steady policy of GermanizinE Its Polish prov
inces. the Government OF Prussia has ordered that
the Polish children in the schools shall receive
their religious instruction In the German language.
The Poles are furious. and their clergy have In
structed their congregations that religion should
always be taught In the national tongue. which Is
loved. and not in a foreign language. which is
detested. This advice, which from the priests
point OF view is certainly wise. the early teaching
OF the mothers being naturally conveyed In Polish.
is peculiarly acceptable 10 the Poles. who think
that the one object Of Berlin Is TO undermine their
nationality, and they have therefore encouraged
their children In a rebellion which is half comic
and half frsught with mischief to German ideals.
The little ones quietly but obstinately refuse TO
receive their religious instruction In any language
but the Polish. and the teachers. under Instructions.
ofcourse, from the department. consequently hold
them guilty of q breach of discipline and punish
them by keeping them in" for two hours a day.
A controversy Is accordingly raging which must
be referred for nnal settlement TO both Emperor
and Pope.

There we're more marriages in France in
1905 than in 1905. but births showed a de-
crease OF I0.937. Meanwhile the Germans
go on raising large families as a matter Of
habit as well as Of policy. The average
yearly increase Of population in Germany
is at the rate Of $4,000 per each million Of
inhabitants, whereas the increase in France
is only 100 per million. The swarming
German children are noticeably sturdy. the
French understood. It ia the Germans who
could better afford a falling on in the birth
rate. but they lave always been a prolific
race from the time Of TAcITUs.
1t may be doubted whether the French
can be reclaimed from the habit Of small
families by national associations that offer
bonuses for large ones. The truth seems
to be that the French are not prolific. So
it is the German peril and not the Yellow
Peril that dismays the French statesman
who surveys the future.

a. opposed 10 a monarchical poIity
had undoubtedly much to do with our
adoption Of the Monroe Doctrine. That
the Latin American communities were
unframed for s~elf-rule, and that many
Of their experiments therein cannot ever
yet be looked upon as successful, is
undeniable. Yet We ought not to con-
fess encouragement and withhold SYM
patty when we consider the prosperity
and enlightenment attained in Argen-
tina, Chile and Brazil, which have passed
the stage OF political development at
which, in spite Of institutions and laws
~ostensibly democratic, a man may by
force or intrigue raise himself to a die
tatorship. II such progress may be
exhibited in three Of the most important
Latin American republics, there can be
no reason, in the nature Of things, why
it should not be exempliied eventually
in others also. Nor is there one Of
them, however backward, that is not
happier living it's life, and striving
to outgrow it's disabilities, than it would
be under an alien European regime
imposed by force.
In one or two particulars our corre-
spondent seemed to misunderstood the
purport of the Monroe Doctrine, as it
was originally ~propounded and has since
been interpreted in practice. He ap-
peared to think that IL a Latin American
State should refuse to pay a oontractual
debt dueto a European Power the Monroe
Doctrine would make il the duty Of the
United States to compel the d~efaulting
State to pay; and that il a Latin Ameri-
can State should inflict a gross indignity
upon the representative Of a European
nation the Monroe Doctrine would re-
quire the United States to coerce that
State into making amends. That is not
the view of our duty that has been taken
by our Federal Chief Magistrates. Presi-
dent CLEVELAND made no protest against
the temporary seizure Of a seaport by
4 British warship in order to eAtort from
Nicaragua reparation for an injury; and
President ROOSEVELT acquiesced in the
bo~mbardment of Venezuelan seaports by
British, German and Italian war vessels
WLlCH were chBdBcu III IHc cAitOICSI1chI
Of c~ontractual obligations. Our State
Department has repeatedly announced
that it would offer no opposition to the
application of coercion by a European
Power to a Latin American republic,
provided the coercion should stop
short of permanent occupation OF that
republics territory. Thus carefully cir
cumscribed, the Monroe Doctrine has
imposed upon us no great burden, for
it has encountered no resolute resist
ance. The quiet but firm assertion of
it on our part availed to remove a French
army from Mexico, and ton induce Great
Britain to reconsider her original refusal
to submit her boundary controversy
with Venezuela to arbitration.

Nomenclature.

The Bureau of Insular Affairs in the
War Department possibly receives and
files and perhaps even peruses with
pleasurable interest a little newspaper
printed in the Samoan language and pub
lished at Pagopago as tho official organ
Of American government there.
Has the vigilant Bureau of Insular
Affairs noted one curious thing about
the title Of this official or semi-oficial
publication? In Samoan it is D Ie Fd'a
tOnG o le KOlone o Ie Unaite Setete o
Tutuiia ma Mdnu'd. In English, the
Rightsetter or Rectifier of the United
States Colony Of Tutuila and Manu'a.
Thus the organ Of Governor MOORE
proclaims in every issue that our Samoan
possessions constitute a United States
Colony and consequently that u
Samoan wards, taken over by us at the
time of the partition of the Samoan group,
are United States c~olonists.
The reason for calling attention to
this circumstance is that in the whole
vast and complex economy Of American
affairs, so far as we know, there is no
other official or semi-official Of quasi
official recognition of the existence
anywhere on earth Of such a thing as a
colony" of the United States. For years
the controversy on expansion and i'm
perialism has ragged around this particu-
lar word colony. From the days of
MCKINLEY the theory that u several
Insulsr possessions were colonies, and
thus devoid of constitutional warrant,
has been asserted as stoutly by the anti
imperialists as it has been denied and
repudiated by the philosophers of ex-
~pansion.
Ii the Ri0htsetter Of Tutuila right? Is
there. after all, a colony" of the United
States, with a Colonial Governor issuing
his DEGREES from a Colonial Palace1
