COURTS AND ARBITRAT1oNs.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, In a letter which we
print In another column, appears TO us TO fall
into an error comparable with that which We
noted in a former letter of his few days ago.
That former error was the confusing of peaceful
settlement with arbitration-the whole with a
mere and not always essential part. His pres
ent error is in confusing tribunals of arbitration
with courts of justice Between the two and
between the conduct of nations in resortlng to
arbitration and that OF individuals in appealing
20 courts, there is radical and essential differ
ence.
To paraphraSe own former remark which
Mr.. Carnegie quotes. when n man is absolutely
convinced of the righteousness Of his conten-
tons IN a matter involving his integrity or
honor-Or for all that his purse-he does not
submit TO arbitration and agree to be content
with any compromise which an umpire may de
cree. He appeals 10 a court with the confident
expectation that the judgment will be in his
favor and will be executed not through the Volt
ton or assent OF his antagonist but If necessary.
through the force Of the law. IT, for example.
Mr.. Carnegie should lend TO some man n sum
OF money, and when he sought repayment should
be met with refusal and with a suggestion that
the obligation of repayment be submitted 10
arbitration, we rather suspect he would reject
and resent the proposal of his debtor as sn i'm
pertinence and would make resort 10 the COM
pulSlOn or Lne law
Now, the difference between individuals and
nations is this, that the former are equally sub
sect TO the superior authority, power and. in
case OF need, physical force of the government
OF their country, while nations are sovereign and
are subject TO no such superior authority So
the difference between courts and tribunals of
arbitration is that the former are backed by the
power OF the government, TO compel compliance
with their DEGREES, while the latter have and can
have no such backing but depend exclusively
upon mutual assent and good faith. A result Is
that while courts are quite competent to dc
exact and impartial justice, even to the entire
granting Of one litgant's claim and the entire
denial Of another's, the umpire OF tribunal
Of arbitration, In order TO insure the acceptance
Of the verdict by both parties, is always under
strong temptation to direct a compromise and
a compromise is often, perhaps generally, al
unjust thing-as II would be If Mr. Carnegie
should lend some one thousand dollars and on
the claim for repayment being submitted to arbi
traitor the umpire should order it compromised
by the payment OF only half that SUN.
Mr. Carnegie asks where his analogy fails
II fails at two points-between individuals and

CHURCH AND STATE IN SPAIN

The late Liberal Ministry in Spain fell be-
cause the party-indeed, the ministry itself
could not agree in support of the bill for the
regulation of religious associations which had
been prepared and introduced by the Home Sec
rotary, who bore the historic and Dortentous
name of Davila, and the new Conservative min
| istry headed by Senior Maura, who made his for
mer government three years ago the most reac
tiOnary In recent Spanish history. has promptIv
dropped that measure and has replaced Church
and State in Spain upon the footing OF the Con
! cordat of 1857 modfed-in the Church's
favor-by the cOnreniO of 1904. We NAV thus
pretty clearly perceive what is the policy of the
advanced and dominant faction of the Liberals,
now in opposition and what is that Of the Con
servatives, in office; the latter policy. of
course, being that which will prevail until an
| other change of government is effected
| The COncordat Of 1857 authorized the existence
of only three religious orders in Spain but that
| provision has been evaded or ignored so that
now such orders are more numerous than ever
before. The COncordat specified two Of the
authorized orders and stipulated that n third
should be agreed upon by the Madrid government
and the Vatican. But no such agreement has
ever yet been made, and so every order that bos
pleased TO do so has established itself in Spain
| on the ground that it is, or expects to be the
third authorized one The number Of houses of
the various orders and the number of their in
mates have also been increasing. until now there
| are 40040 nuns in 2657 converts and 1O63O
= monks in 597 monasteries Previous to 1904 the
| Liberal government planned a law for the on
| forcement Of the provisions of the Concordat
but went out of Office before 1t could be enacted
In 1904 Se1Or Maura's most reactionary govern
ment arranged cOnreniO approving all the eva
sions or transgressions of the COncordat and
practically surrendering to the Church the civil
! supremacy OF the State; but 1t, too went out
before 1t could enact the conpenio into law.

0KLAHOnA'c INDIGESTION.

Oklahomas desire TO enter the Union does not
seem to be as al-consuming as it was once plct-
ured. Indeed, many substantial CITIZENS OF the
two territories united by last years enabling ac'
are now petitiOning for the repeal Of that act
and dissolution Of the proposed union. MI.
Murphy Of Missouri, has introduced a repeal
bill in the House Of Representatives. ana.
though action on it is out Of the question. there
can be no doubt that its presentation reflects
serious degree of dissatisfaction with the condl-
tions under which the new state is qualifying,
or irving 10 qualify for entrance into the Union.
The chief trouble with the constitutional con-
vention now In session is that 1t is either YastlE
oyercharged with sense of its own Importance
or that it does not realize It's responsibilities
under the commission given ii by Congress II
wants TO make waste paper Of the INSTRUCTIONS
in the enabling act and to create n sovereign
state on its own plan untrammelled by any
obligations to Congress or the federal Constitu-
ton.
According TO Mr.. Murphy, who took the trou-
bic 10 90 down to Oklahoma and study the con
vention at short range, that body's chief concern
has been to dissipate the 100000 fund appro-
priated by Congress to pay the expenses OF the
session. Useless offices were created and eXccS-
sive contracts were made for printing, and the
time of the convention has been taken up with
debates on political and historical distractions
like the Souths right to secede and discussions
of the power of Congress to enforce conditions
of admission on territories seeking statehood.
The convention is required TO give full effect i'll
the state constitution to the Fourteenth and FIJI
teenth amendments. forbidding disfranchise-
mpnt on the ground of race. color or previous
condition of servitude." But 1t has tried to
evade this obligation, and has also perSiStently
attempted to put into the constitution lmta-
lions on other rights guaranteed by the United
States to all its citizens. Fortunately, the work
CT the Oklahoma convention has not only to he

but must also be submitted TO the President, aAl
if the terms of the enabling act are ignored the
new state can be peremptorily excluded. The
conventions refraCtoriness and self-assertt III

Oklahoma should eventually discover that its
bumptiousness has kept II waiting at the
church its people will look in vain for outside
sympathy.

met Send Condolences.

Rome Feb. liking Victor Emmanuel and
the Cabinet have telegraphed their condolences
10 the Carducci family, at Bologna, on the death
yesterday afternoon of Giosue Carducci, the
poet and professor OF italian literature at the
University of Bologna, who received the Nobel
prize for literature last year. Premier Giolitu.
who IS also Minister of the Interior. has ordered
that the funeral be conducted at the expense
Of the state.
The general feeling is that Italy has sustained
no greater loss since the deaths OF Cavour. Carl
baIdi. NazZini and Victor Emmanuel II is
pointed that. while the four distinguished
persouages mentioned made Italy materially.
Carducci greatly improved the nation inteIlectu-
ally. 1t is proposed TO bury the poets body In
the famous Church Of Santa Croce at Florence.
which is known the Pantheon OF Florence;
and 1t is also proposed to erect monument 70
Carducci NJ Bologna and place bust OF this
poet i'm the Capitol here.
In the Chamber Of Deputies to-day there was
imposing demonstration in honor OF Car
duCCi The President Of the Chamber, Premier
CHolittt and several deputies paid tributes 10
the dead poet and the deputies decided 70 take
part In the funeral
