A Full Grown Adult Man to Vote For

This tribute 10 the character and abil-
ity Of CHARLES f. HUGHES was pro-
nounced by President SCHUBMAN Of Cor
nell in his formal address at the opening
Of the university:
know him as a man Of unlmpeschsble In
tegrlty. courage. intellect and backbone. The
professors in the law school remember him as 9
man OF wonderful legal learning. grasp of Affairs
ana mental power. He has projected his person
atty on the Stase. and ! may say the whole nation.
by performing his duty faithfully. unswervinTly
and c~apably."
The career OF Mr.. HUGHES at the bar
has more than confirmed the good opin-
ion formed Of him by the faculty at
Cornell. That such a man has never
held Office o been a politician is obvi-
ously to his advantage, and il adds
powerfully to his strength as a candi-
date that the nomination came to him
absolutely unsought and that he does
not owe it to any boss, faction or interest,
but to the general confidence in him as q
mar Of ideal qualifications. He is surely
as non-partisan and independent a can
didate az was ever nominated for a high
Office by any party, and that is why he
can be supported with satisfaction by
Democrats who repudiate HEARST and
all his works.

Dr.. Hal Concludes the Discussion Of tho
Thlrtysnrst Article.

To re EDITOR or rms sUN-sK: on my
return for the winter TO Chicago my attention
was called TO Mr.. a. Donlevy's question a. TO
how ! reconcile Article XXI. Of our prayer
book. which describes sacrifices OF masses-a a.
-~bIaephemous fables and dangerous deceits."
with the use Of such descriptions Of our euchar-
ists a. masses and the offering Of masses"
am no more called upon to Justify the
current language Of individual AnGllcans
than . Romanist 10 70 defend certain very
idOlatrous language used by private parties
In the Roman Church in relation 70 the Blessed
virgin.
But I think am quite within the facts
when I assert that what Article XXI. con-
denns 10 not what the Anglicans 10 whom
Mr.. Donlevy refers intend 70 teach or imply
by their language. My questioner has been
mIsled BY a superficial coincidence Of words
Isolated from their respective ~conteXts and
the circumstances Of their use.
The notion which Article XXI. was france
to condemn is that each eucharist OF mass
CONSTITUTES a new sacrifice. additional 20 that
OF the Cross: whereas, to quote the article In
question:
The offering Of Christ once made Is that perfect
reclamation, propiuation and satisfaction fer all the
aims Of the whole world. both original and actual:
and there Is none other satisfaction for sin. bus
that alone.
Now I am sure that the AnGlicans who now
employ the phrases masses and Offering
of masses" do not intend thereby any such
-blasphemous fable" as that each mass con-
~stitutes a new sacrifice for the quick and ths
dead" Rather they hold. as do reputable
Roman writer's OF our day as well. that at
each eucharist the one and only s~acrince Is
sacramentally presented and pleaded before
the Father. Each eucharist Is a sacrifice
only because in 1t. as st. Paul says. we do
show the Lords death until He come" In the
manner appointed by Him.
Permit me to conclude this correspondence
by saying that my opportunities OF watching
a New York paper are limited. and l cannot
continue the discussion. FRANCIS J. HALL.

PennsyIvania's Gorgeous Capitol.

Visitors to the new Capitol at Harris
burg on dedication day should not fail
to inspect the sumptuous candelabra
and standards and the elaborate electric
light fixtures, which are not the least Of
the glories Of the wonderful interior:
they cost 81, 900, 900, and thereby hangs a
tale OF legislative legerdemain.
For these and other handsome utili-
ties, including marble mantels and grand
open fireplaces, rugs OF the Orient, solid
comfort couches, mahogany bookcases
and wardrobes, rich carpets to deaden
the football, all in the best taste, in keep
ing with the grandeur of the Capitol, and
the finest that money could buy when
discussed by members OF a State board
who happeped to be connoisseurs with
a genius for lberality, thanks are due to
the Republican party, and especially to
the inspiration Of what Is known as
the Quay Durham enrose regime. But
such is the insensibility Of the taxpayers
Of Pennsylvania to the beautiful in art
that the Iabors Of the Board of Public
Buildings and Grounds have become IN
issue in the State campaign.
Responsibility must rest with the new
Treasurer, WILLIAM H. BERRY, who by
virtue Of his Office, to which he was
elected by enemies Of the Republican
party, became a member Of the Board
of Public Buildings and Grounds, and
forthwith began to NEEDLE, in a grossly
material and offensive spirit, with accom-
plished things for which the Republican
party should have credit without re1ec-
ton upon the motives Of its leaders.
Graft was the ugly word that Mr.. BERRY
used at first in dilating upon the cost OF
the Capitol. but pending a thorough in
vcstigation be has substituted the words
"a tremendous oveTcharge." Mr.. BERRY
estimates that the bill for the building
and its furnishings will be Sl3, 900, 600. or
s 3,OOO.O0O more than the amoun which
had been described az a miracle Of econ
Omy by the party managers.
II ear be shown that under legislative
sanction SIS 900, 900 could have been spent
on the furnishings alone. In this way:
under the general appropriation act Of
1898 the State Treasurer was authorized
to pay out Of amy moneys in the Treas
ury not otherwise appropriated" such
sums as might be required 10 meet bills
for stationery, printing and fuel incurred
by the two houses Of the Legislature,
and for repairs to and furnishing Of the
chambers and committee rooms OF the
two houses and the several departments
Of the Government upon the written
order Of the Board Of Public Grounds
and Buildings. Constituting this general

New Light on the Prospects OF Home
Rule.
Not long age the hopes OF those Irish
Americans who believe that hah a loaf
a. better than no bread and who had
hoped to see Ireland gain some impor-
tant concessions through the sympathy of
the Bannerman Government were dashed
BY a telegraphed report that Mr.. JOHN
3. REDMOND, the leader Of the National
ist party, had declared in a public speech
that he would accept nothing short Of
complete home rule. We now learn with
satisfaction that Mr.. REDMOND was mis-
reported and that he means 10 accept
the forthcoming Government measure,
provided it is put forward as an install
ment and not as a finality. OF much the
same purpOrt is the statement made on
Saturday by M. T. P. O'CoNNOR, who
Is now visiting this country and who
has been long and well known as one Of
the most distinguished members Of the
Nationalist party, that the Governments
concession to Ireland, if it fall short of
the genuine home rule desired, must at
least be marked by two features if it is to
Command Nationalist support. II must
be consistent with the fundamental prin-
ciple Of self-rule and must obviously lead
un 10 a larger measure. Mr.. O'CoNNoR
added what, indeed, seems seIf-evident,
that il the Government bill should prove
Unacceptable TO the Irish members it
would be withdrawn. In view of the
Dams taken by the BalfOur Cabinet 20
conciliate Ireland by means of the Wynd-
ham land purchase act the Liberal party
could not afford to occupy the absurd
position Of forcing upon its Irish allies
3 law utterly repugnant.
Whether. a measure for which, though
II 'should fall short Of their wishes, Irish
members could bring themselves to vote
would be sanctioned by tho House of
Lords Is Of course a different question.
The Lords would undoubtedly reject a
bin substantially equivalent to that OF
1893, which, il will be recalled, gave
ireland a Parliament Of her own, but
which also provided for the retention Of a
certain number Of Irish representatives
at Westminster, who, however, we're 10

Injections TO that project on tire part
Of UnionistS were many and patent, but
even from a Liberal point Of view there
we're two objections, namely, that to de-

and that Irishmen, when voting on an
trsnsrial question, might by combining
