To TIE EDITOR OF THE SUN-,SH: There hS

Though II is hard TO summarize IL briefly. a few ~
his main points may be here set forth. though an
directors arc referred TO the original for fuller
application.
Gentleman" he declares. means primah,y a
man Of pure race. well bred In the sense that hor,e
or dog may be well bred. With this two false Ideas
have become connected, one that all idle man liyrz
on other peo pies work is a gentleman. thu other
that there can be a gentleman without any race
advantage. These two false notions RusRin COM

but there is degradation In bribery, indolcnce.

wrong notion. race certainly may produce n Amor

Then, In giving the characteristics of a gentle
man, he names fneness Of nature. scnsitircne's,

being qualified by Ruskin with the statement 4

possible that he should he. . n BY thc very
acuteneSs OF his sympathy he knows how much ~
himself he can give TO anybody. and he gives mat

manner coming from the lack OF the need for self
restraint. Next Ruskin names the desire Of truth

DEFINING further by negatives, there arr calaloEI r1

tive OF the miner. duly chosen. volcing his demands.
He asks for him, the miner, 3 very small share In
the present prosperity Of the mines. Considering
the work he does and the great risk he takes. can
you conscientiously sey that he gets a fair portion
OF the wealth he produces when he receives the
smallest possible wage that he will take?
From your articles one would be led 10 believe
that you thought the miner very well paid and
that he had no right TO attempt TO better the cor.
ditlons under which he works, But does he re-
celve adequate compensation? Is the mine owner
or operator the only one who has rights In the
his duties? Have not owner, operator and miner
alike rights and duties' Is II not the duty OF the
operator and the public whom he, In part, repre-.
sents, TO pay the miner q fair compensation fer
the wealth he produces?
To every right thinking person II must be a
grievous wrong TO consider that the miner has no
rights but 70 draw a miserable pittance for his labor
at great risk to his life. That every citizen OF our
country has a claim on the country and the wealth
he produces beyond the least wage that he will
take for his time and labor ought to be recognized.

In prosperity the worker has a right to demand

Early in January Justice D. THEW WRIGHT
Of the District Supreme Court Of Washing
ton, d. c., overruled the demurrer filed by
FREDERICK A. HYDE and JOHN A. BENSON,
the distinguished appropriations Of public
lands. Last Friday Justice McCoMAs Of
the District Court Of Appeals affirmed the
judgment of Justice WRIGHT. The next
step will be a trial by jury before the Crimi-
nal Court, although it is probable that the
case will not be called until October.
The enterprises Of these ambitious ac-
cumulators of land belonging to the citizens
of the United States had their beginning
sonnet twenty-five or thirty years ago. There
have been earlier efforts to secure indict-
ments against them, but zone has been
successful. They now appear to be in the
iron grip OF Secretary HITCHCOCK and his
able attorney, Mr.. FRANK d. HESEY, and
they will have the time Of their lives to
escape from that clutch. 1t may not be
possible to recover the 400 900 acres or 80
of public and to which Messrs. HYDE and
BENSON have acquired title, but it may be
possible to find out how they got it and
whether they violated the law in doing so.

TO note that on March IS was had In the English
House Of Lords the second reading OF q bill for the
creation Of a court of criminal appeal. Heretofore
a criminal has had no right OF appeal In England.
The bill was earnestly supported by the Lord
Chancellor, Lord James OF Hereford. and Others.

No Danger in Sight,

While the immediate condition Of the
railway a matter seems only a hope
less fangle, it is beyond question that the
delay in it's determination has been of
m~easureless value to the country. A
year ago at this time there was an in
dignant roar at the "obstructionist'
Senate for it's refusal TO gulp down, as
the House did, the ~undigested Esch-
Townsend bill. To-day those who sup
ported that bill would be very glad to
forget that they did so. It's successor
arrived, and the same multitude which
shouted hosanna to the Esch-Townsend
bill went through very much the same
performance over the Hepburn bill.
There has been of late a notable sub
sidence of the enthusiasm over the Hep
burn bill. II proves to be a sort of
whited sepulchre, and few there be who
think that its enclosed bones would make
even a respectable scarecrow. The Sen
ate has demonstrated the errors and the
general weakness OF the bill, and the
Administration has admitted that it
needs amendment.
Meanwhile, for some dark and mys-
FERROUS reason, the country goes on its
way without a rate bill. The Depart
ment of Justice and the Interstate COM
merce Commission open proceedings, and
carry on cases already opened, against
those who violate existing laws against
the evils which the railway rate CAM
paign was, in its inception, intended to
destroy. We hear Of no disastrous fail
ures because of exorbitant rate charges,
and we hear few if any more walls of
railway extortion than we heard before
the campaign was inaugurated. We can
see no signs of national disaster from
this source if no rate bill is passed for
bome time to come.
There is no occasion for any national
impotence. The Gelay is beneficial
rather than dangerous. The only OBJ
struction which exists in the Senate is
an almost unanimous opposition to the
passage of any bill that is not a good
bill. There is difference of individual
view regarding the best system, but
there is full harmony concer ning the main
purpose. Meanwhile, the country is safe
and no disaster will come from any
present unfair or unreasonable railway
rates, ever If they are not prohibited
for several weeks to come.

posed to storms. At both termini the
docking accommodations we're planned
on az ambitious scale.
Three years ago the Mexicdn Herald
attributed to Sir WEETMAN PEARSON a
prediction that the National Tehuan-
tepec Railway, 80 called, would knock
the lsthmian canal project Of Uncle
SAM into a cooked hat" 1t may be
doubted whether Sir WEETMAN, who is
not given to Boosting, INDUCED in a
prophecy so startling; but it must be
remembered the United States Govern
ment had not taken over the Panama
Canal enterprise at that time, also that
Sir WEETNiAN PEARSON, as the lessee Of
the Tehuantepec Railway for fifty years,
must be optimistic. That the road, pro-
vided its charges are reasonable, will
attract interoceanic freight is to be
expected; and that it will open to settle
ment and develop the fertile States of
Vera Cruz and Oaxaca is not to be
doubted. But transshipment, involv-
ing unloading and reloading, is likely
to be slow and expensive work. The
Tehuantepec, on its winding route Of 100
miles, will need a good deal of coal, and
coal will be high on the Isthmus until
1t can be mined there. When the Panama
Canal Is open for business the oppor-
tunity to send unbroken cargoes from
Europe and the Atlantic and Gulf ports to
the Pacific coast and Asia should prove
irresistible to shippers. Whatever it's
charges, the ~Tehuantepec will be able to
handle only fraction of the i~nteroceanio
freight of the future. It must be re-
membeTed that the Pacific trade is grow
ing tremendously, beyond all antioipa-
tons. There will be plenty of business
for both the Tehuantepec Railway and
the great canal.

Preparing for Next Fall.

At the dinner given on Saturday even
ing for Senator y. A. ELsBERG mi of
the speakers was BENJAMIN B. ODELL,
Jr., of Newburgh. ODELL said in his
address:
A Republican Interested in continued suprem-
acy OF our party, | ask. ism 1t about time we began
10 prepare for the next fall, when our party is to
pass through a crisis. perhaps, such as IL has not
passed through In twenty years."
oDELL need not worry about the be-
ginnings of the preparations for the fall
campaign. They are already we'll UNI

disagreeable work, but this is being
done skilfully and effectively. ODELL
will know owexcellently the necessary
tasks are being performed when the APP
propriate time arrives and his official
head is severed from his body by the axe
that decent Republicans are sharpening
now.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-04-09

TtRHE and other members Of the Acad-
emie franchise, together with some
members of Parliament. have addressed
a letter to the French Bishops request
ing them to ask Pope P1Us y. to give
the Separation law a fair trial, and for
that purpose to authorize the organiza-
ton of the Church associations, which
under the law would acquire much eccle-
siastical property. It is pointed out
that the real estate and chattels placed
by the Separation act at the disposal of
Church associations are appraised at
something like $4,000, coo, all of which,
together with the SUI Of 81, 900, 900, TO be
appropriated this year for allowances
and annuities payable to Bishops and
priests, will be lost to the Church If it
opposes the formation of associations.
To onlookers this seems sensible advice,
but it appears to have had no effect on
the masses of jealous Catholics in France,
especially in Brittany and some other
provinces, where officers ordered to
break open church doors have refused
to obey, and when tried for disobedience
have been acquitted by courte-martial.
1t is, indeed, undisputed that a large
part Of the French Army is infected with
disloyalty to the present political regime.
Alive to the advantage which this dis
affection gives them, the most widely
read Catholic newspapers call upon the
Pope to condemn the plan of Church
associations and upon the Catholic faith
full TO resort to force il the civil power
shall attempt to close the churches, as by
law it is obliged to do after a definite
delay.
1t is, Of course, unreasonable for the
Socialists to blame the present Govern
men for the frightful catastrophe which
occurred in the coal pits at Courrieres in
northeastern France ON March 10. The
persons really responsible for the failure
to rescue many of the imprisoned min
ers, n of whom was brought up alive
on April 4 after twenty-five days en-
tombment, are the directors and engi-
neers Of the coal company, but for whose
indifference and inactivity many more
lives might have been saved. Never
theless, the determination of the civil
authorities to protect the property of
the company from destruction at the
hands of an Infatuated mob has aroused
a widespread feeling Of bitterness against
the Sarrien Ministry, which will prob
ably cause the loss Of a number Of seats
in the mining districts. NJ. CLEMEE-
CEAU and his colleague, the Minister Of
Justice, are doing their best to stem the
tide of hostility among the miners by
ordering the Public Prosecutor Of Douai,
in the Department of the Nord, to inves-
tigate the methods followed by the
salvage engineers at Courrieres, with the
view of prosecuting them under the
criminal code for negligence and man.
slaughter. The general election is too
near, however-it begins on May 8-for
such a procedure to have much practical
effect.
The signs are, as we have said, that
while the Sarrien Ministry will have a
majority in the next Chamber of Depu-
ties it will be smaller than it is to-day.

The attacks on Mr., Jerome by certain
newspapers have been outrageous. And
speaking generally. it has seemed to us for
some time that public opinion in New York
city, IL 1t Is at all reflected in the papers,, is
exceedingly uncertain and tickle. Here was a
man who had done his duty in office so hon.
estly and bravely that the people Of New York
without distinction of party reelected him,
and they did It although the man had no
party organization behind him. Then all at
once because this man differs With certain
popular opinions as to what the law is, and re-
fuses to take his orders from certain news
papers, he is at once written down as corrupt.
and it is assumed that he believes in such
conduct as that of which the insurance men
we're guilty. 1t seems to us that in this case
the community. rather than the officer, is to
be condemned.
