LEAD. KINDLY LIGHT"
Newman's EAcIesiasticaI Position when He
wrote the Hymn.

To THE EnIToR OV The SUN Sir: "B. d..
Oxon.-. says that Cardinal newman wrote
Lead. Kindly Light" when he was travelling
in Italy, probably in the summer OF lSt5.
This IL IN error. Inc poem was written
June 10, 1888. Newman tells US that be was
becalmed a whole week in the Straits OF
Bonifacio while going TO Marseilles, IL was
then that the illustrious writer penned the
famous poem. while yet a Protestant.

when he says that the Cardinal then contem-
plated leaving the Church Of England for the
Church of Rome. because Keble's sermon on
National ApostAcy.- which began the OK
ford movement, was not preached till July,
1888, and Newman did not join the Church
till Octob er 3. ls4S. he tells US in his Apo
losis- that in 1882 and Isas he thought the

Magistrates' Court would begin sitting
there He addad

Magistrates' Court would begin sitting
there. He added:
This application IL made under the provisions
Of the Charter. the purpose Of this expenditure being
the bettermento OF the building. which is owned by
the city. There is at present no provision for
heating any part of this building. There 10 an
engine and boiler which can be used for the genera
ton OF steam"
The request was referred to the Comp
troller for investigation, and under date
Of October 10 CHANDLER WELLINGTON,
chief engineer Of the Department Of
Finance, reported as follows:
The building In question is a three story and
basement brick. standing on a plot which was
acquired by the city some time ago for park pur-
poses. Since taken over by the city several streets
and avenues bounding It have been widened to
such an extent that there is left almost no land at
all for park purposes beyond the walls of the build
ing"
Acting on this information, the Board
Of Estimate on October 10 voted to make
the appropriation and the ordinance
authorizing it was sent to the Board Of
Aldermen. II came before that body
on October %, and after being read
was made a special order for 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. At that hour it was
taken up and approved unanimously.
Here is disclosed a typical case Of
municipal acknowledgement. In the first
place the property under consideration
was bought for park uses and unques-
tionably the vendor received all that it
was worth. Then the city proceeded
to destroy its value for its original pur-
pose by developing other municipal
property in the same neighborhood.
Having done this, the city authorities
designated a part of the building for q
court room, knowing it to be INSULT
GENTLY heated for occupancy in the cold
weather. They then made an appropria-
ton for heating the building. Signif-
cantly> this appropriation, which Mr..
WELLINGTON calls little enough for the
work that ought to be done,' is of an
amount which will allow the authorities
in control to award a contract for the
performance Of the services described
without advertising the contract and
without public letting.
Thus far is history. What will come
next? Probably more appropriations
to pay for tinkering the steam plant in
the building and for other repairs. Then
there will be a demand for a new and
modern court building, which in time will
be erected. After this will come the de-
sertion of the present structure. which
will be carried by the city as a useless
possession or else will be sold for a low
price to a real estate dealer eager to
turn IN honest penny.
No evidence of corruption appears in
this record Of municipal business opera
tiOns. The documents disclose nothing
worse than complete ineficiency, lack
of foresight and reckless disregard Of
the interests of the city and its people.

Doe, Sir Thomas Upton Want a Race?

Sir THOMAS Upton arrived in this
country a short time ago with a chip on
his shoulder. He was looking for the
New York Yacht Club to knock the chip
of. According to accounts disseminated
at the time, the club s~idestepped. IL
appears now that the club was perfectly
willing { o accommodate Sir THOMAS in
every way except in that Of opening
hostilities. Considering the fact that
the chip was on Sir THoMAs's shoulder,
the position of the local yachtsmen vas
not altogether unreasonable.
The valiant seeker after the Americas
Cup has had an informal talk with som
leading members Of the New York Yacht
Club. At that conference he found
abundant evidence Of a readiness to give
him another opportunity to race for the
famous old trophy. Nothing seems to
have been said which could lead him { o
suppose that bubbles about rules would
be used az pretexts for avoiding a a
Up TO the present time yachtsmen out
side the New York Yacht Club have been
led TO suppose that the hitch was about
rules. II there is no such hitch there is
probably none at all. The smoke ap-
pears to have been Of Sir THOMAs's max
ing. II rests on him 10 clear il away.
All he has 20 do is To go home a. fast AZ
he can and challenge. He will surely
find something waiting for him on the
Hook next summer.

DOwLAND, LATE O'DULAIGH.
Possibly Not Irish, Hut Evidence FaVOrs
the Theory That He was.

To TIE EDTroR or THH SUN-Sr. Since no one
else will say . word for poor Dowiand, ! must even
speak up again. After the dreadful pudder about
him because he was an lrishmaR. IT'S q disappoint-
ment TO md he wasn't an Irishman At all. This
statement has q oGeic flavor. l know, but let ie
stand.
Nv. s." tells US that the Dictionary OF Ma
tional Biography doesn't say that DOwIand was
Irish. aud no seems to consider this silence con
vincing. hut I shA'n't be hypercrtical, 50 Ill let
that argument pass. He says, furthermore, that
except for the fact that Dowland addressed a resi-
debt OF Dublin-Who might have been an English
man-as his loving cOuntryman,' there is no ind
cation that he was an Irishman. Perhaps not. but
that depends entirely on what one considers an
Indication. There are those who consider the pos
session OF an Irish name as an Indication Of Irish
origin. though this belief Is not universal. IL Is
limited. for instance. by the fact that there are
many who wouldn't know an Irish from q Polish
name. In fact, there arc some who are blessed
with good Irish names who don't know It until
they are told. But this Is q DEPRESSION.
The argument from Dowland'S name Is the most
effective answer TO w. SIS sweeping statement.
DOwland. like Bowling. Dovley. Bowel, Dooling or
DoOley. is but an Anglicized form OF that very
respectable old Gaelic surname O'DulAigh. This
variety Of forms Into which IL has developed can
be easily explained by anybody who has attempted
TO transliterate Gaelic names. with their wealth OF
asplrated consonantS, or who knows The English
mans inability TO master the intrtcacies of the
Gaelic system OF ~euphOnic changes. But the origin
OF the name is beyond question.
So. then. when we and q man bearing an unmis
takably Irish name who. according 70 one report.
was born in Ireland and educated In Ireland. ad
dressing a resident of ireland as his loving
co~untrymAn." Is it rash TO conclude that he was
an Inshmani OF course. 10 might be that he &C.
QuiYed his Irish name by accident IN England: that
the story Of his birth and education 10 baseless;
and that the beloved friend" was an EnGlishman
who happened BY some chance TO reside in Ireland.
There Ia nothing intrinsicslly impossible in this
ny pothesis, nor In q buBdred others that a man with
q lively Imagination could evolve. But, what's the
USE. THOMAS GAFVNBY TAAVFE.

The Congo Crime Cannot BE white.
washed.

washed.
We print elsewhere an attempt to
defend King LEoPoLD's administration
of the Congo State by the Consul
General Of that country TO the United
States. 1t will be observed that the
apologist makes two assertions: First,
that Belgian public opinion approves of
the existing regime in the Congo region,
opposition being confined to a small band
Of Socialists; and secondly, that efficient
measures have been taken to carry out
the recommendations of the commission
which investigated the condition Of the
so-oalled Free State. Let US look at
the evidence on which the assertions are
based.
By way Of proving that public opinion
in Belgium is favorable to King LEoPoLD's
management of the Congo country the
Consul General says that when Mr..
VANDERvRLDE- in the speech delivered
in Hyde Park last summer-denounced
the atrocities perpetrated by the ex-
ploiters of the rubber forests other
members Of the Belgium Parliament
who happened to be in London at the
time came forward to the defence Of
their sovereign. That il true. There is
no doubt that hitherto many reputable
BeIgians, wishing to shield the good
name Of their nation and their sovereign,
have tried to parry the charges brought
against the administration Of the Congo
Free State. Such apOlogists have even
been able to muster in times past a
majority Of the Belgian Parliament. The
question is, How long will the Belgian
Parliament continue To uphold the King
IN his iniquity? We have previously set
forth reasons for believing that LEoPoLD
can no longer rely on the support or con-
nivance Of his subjects.
The Consul General is mistaken in
asserting that in Belgium opposition to
the administration Of the Congo state
il confined 10 a small band OF Specialists
and m~alcontents.' ~ u matter Of fact,
IL was a Deputy belonging ~ the Catho-
lie. or Government. party in the Belgium
