To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir Here
is little wisdom after the event, culled from
a speech of the Hon. Frank s. Black, delv-
cred in Washington two years ago.
This is an era when things arc moving with ire
mendouS energy. No speed can be SO great that
In Itself it constitutes danger. but speed should
not be gained at the expense OF safety. Havoc
comes when you try TO stop or change your course.
A work Is no greater because done In a hurry. II
Is far wiser TO arrive safely al dark than TO be
brought home mangled an hour earlier.
Large enterprises must be built upon large delIb
crate plans. Judgment is safer than emotion. II
does not create half the enthusiasm, but II stays
longer. Strength without wisdom is like the hurrl.

clieism should not accommodate itself
TO republican institutions in France as
II does in the United States. During the
next ten years however, the French
clergy continued 10 take an active and
effective part in French politics on the
side of the Reactionists and at one time,
when General BoULANGER was made
iigurehead, seemed to have some prospect
of overturninG the republican regime.
That is why the Republicans, tanght by
prolonged and bitter experience, adopted
for their watchword GAMBEPTA's injunc-
ton, "In Clericalism see the enemy"
II was for the purpose Of averting a
conflict between the Catholic religion and
the civil power, which he considered
needless and the dangerous conse-
TIences Of which he foresaw, that LEO
XII put forth the famous encyclical in
which he called upon the Bishops and
clergy Of France TO rally" to the repub-
lie, Thenceforward, to the end Of his
life, he reiterated the advice with a sim
cerity and an earnestness which the most
rancOrOus Jacobin could not refuse 10
recognize. II is equally indisputable
that in his conciliatory policy Pope LEO
XIII. was ably seconded by Cardinal
RAMPoLLA, then Papal Secretary Of
State. Nor were their efforts wholly
abortive: a certain number Of Deputies
and Senators, who formerly had been
classed as Reactionists, now came to be
known as Rallied Republicans, 4" but the
genuineness of their conversion was,
perhaps unjustly, suspected, owing to
the fact that almost the whole of the
French aristOcracy, supported by part
OF the secular clergy and especially by
the teaching orders, continued 10 show
themselves inflexibly opposed to the
republican regime. II was this reac-
tionary element, which was deaf even to
the Counsels Of the Pope. that strove to
make Of the Dreyfus affair a means Of
sowing disloyalty in the army and NJ
preparing the ground for a coup detdt,
which indeed at one time seems to have
been planned
As We look back over the last thirty
five years Of French history We can
understand why so many French Repub-
llcans should have come to the conclu-
sion that between them and those cler-
icals who would not listen even to the
Pope ii was duel to the death LEO
XIII. did his best to close the breach,
and for the miscarriage of his exemplary
efforts his successor. PIUs X, does not
hesitate to put a large share Of the blame
where il belongs IF Catholics in the
United States, instead of persisting in
their past and present admirable atti-
tude. were to evince sympathy with a
party which avowedly desired the over
throw of our republican institutions, they
would inevitably forfeit the respect and
consideration which they now enjoy.

Why Church and State QuarreIIed in
France.

y
Those who are familiar with the his
tory of the relations of the Papacy to
the present French Republic during the
last quarter of the nineteenth century
inent made on March II by Pope Plus X.
20 the Rt. Rev. THOMAS OGoRMAN,
Bishop of Sioux Falls, S. d. According
30 telegram from Rome his Holiness
said that Archbishop IRELAND had cor
rectly defined the primary cause of the
conflict between Church and State in
France as being the failure of the French
clergy and Of leading lay Catholics to
follow the advice of LEO XIII.
There was, of course, no friction be-
tween the civil authorities and the Vati-
can during the existence OF the National
Assembly, which met at Bordeaux in the
spring Of 1871 and presently removed 10
Versailles. The Legtimists, OrIeanists
and Bonapartists between them consti-
tuted majority Of that body, as they
showed in May, 1873, when they com
PEELED NJ THEIRS to resign the post of
Executive Chief ofthe State and replaced
him with Marshal IMAGINATION, who after
the Constitution of 1875 went into oper-
alton became the first President of the
Third Republic. Successive by-electiOns,
however, sapped. the strength Of the
Reactionists, until the general election
held in the autumn of 1877 overthrow
the Cabinet headed by the Due DE
BRoGLIE and gave Republicans perma-
nent control of the Chamber of Depu-
ties. In the Senate also the Republicans
gradually became preponderant as the
life members died and as changes were
made in the method OF choosing the other
Senators, who hold Office for nine years.
The subsequent resignation of Marshal
MAcMAHON, followed rs it was by the
election of NJ GREvY TO the Presidency,
convinced intelligent onlookers that Ro-
publican ascendency could not he shaken

10 accept accomplished facts cheerfully

City Salaries.

Senator CULLEN's bill authorizing the
Board of Estimate to raise the pay of the
Commissioner of Docks and Ferries and
his deputy is a fair sample of a highly
Objectionable class of measures of which
many are introduced at each session of
the Legislature. Such bills seek to
change the method by which city en-
ployee's compensation may be raised or
lowered, with the apparent purpose of
avoiding some of the safeguards set up
in the Charter to prevent reckless expen-
ditures of the taxpayers money. In sec
tion SO of the Charter il is provided that:
1T shall be the duty of the Board Of Aldermen,
upon the recommendation Of the Board OF Estimate
and AppOrtionment to AZ the salary Of every
onicer or person whose compensation Is paid out
Of the city treasury. other than day aborers and
teachers examiners and members OF the superviS.
ing stan OF the Department Of Education,
except that no change shall be made In the salary
Of an elected Orcer or head Of a department during
his tenure of ONCE"
Under this section the municipal au-
thOrities have complete power in the
matter of salary adjustment There is
no reason why the Legislature should be
called on to perform the duties of the
Board Of Estimate and the Aldermen.
By express grant il has clothed the
representatives of the taxpayers with
authority to attend to this detail of ad-
ministration. Il should insist that the
Charter shall be obeyed and that the
municipal payroll shall be made up in
New York, not in Albany.

Mr.. PIERPONT MORGAN'S plan for a
conference at the White House between
President ROOSEVELT and the RESPONSE
bic heads Of four Of the leading railroads
Of the country has miscarried. When
II was announced that such conference
had been aCQuicsCcd in by Mr.. RoosE-
WELT IL was generally thought to be a
most wise and iudicious proceeding.
particularly in view Of the high character
Of the railroad men who were named by
Mr.. MORGAN Essentially railroad oper-
ators, as opposed to market operators.
and enjoying in rare degree the public
confidence, il was believed that n frank
discussion Of the grave issues which Mr.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS could scarcely
fail of wholesome effect
The project of the conference instantly
recommended itself for the intelligent
discussion of the press. which at this
time is, with a negligible exception or
two, a distinctly Rooseveltian property
or attribute. Now, We have no apology
20 offer for the personal appearance.
moral poverty or intellectual nudity of
any man or group Of men Of the unfortu-
nate class to which these four railroad
presidents belong All the same we
must permit ourselves 10 observe that
they are not dogs: that because a man ia
president Of a railroad he docs not neCes-
sarily move sinuouslv and viscouslv upon
his belly, like chastened Serpent:
neither when he takes on railroad does
he put Of inevitably his quality as a man
and his faculty of self-respect. We hate
the extremities of speech, the cxcesses
of rhetoric, and We will not venture the
ridiculous proposition that a railroad
president may be- IA good man as the
President of the United States. That
were absurd. Rut the report Of the
vicinage concerning these -four men is
that they are persons Of decency, not
offending the eve or other sense; Of
proper but transformations walk: fathers
of creditable families, and indeed Of
repute and even honor among their
fellows.
Well, these gentlemen. we hazard the
expression diffidentlv, these gentlemen,
since it was made known that Mr.. PIER
POINT MORGAN had suggested a confer
ence with Mr. ROOSEVELT, have been
pilloried in the public prints as penitent
thieves staggering to the Temple at
Washington to confess their crimes and
implore Mercy. Every obIoquy has been
heaped upon them, every slight and re-
prOach slunG in their faces and they have
been pictured to an inhamed public as
examples of human ignominy and degra-
dation. May they not be forgiven if New
Haven, the North River. even Philadel-
phia, nay, Chicago itself, appeared to
fhem TO have attractions that Washing
ton lacked?
II the Conservative Force at Washing
ton, being in undisputed control of the
egg market. would not stay its morbid
activity by even n courteous inclination
of head or hand, were these four citizens
10 blame if they stifIened up against the
hail of injury and opprobrium and with
drew within the precincts of themselves?
AS for Mr.. MELLEN, who has ultimately
upon a forlorn hope of his
own, he goes to the Presence with a reso-
luton that challenges the most profound
admiration and sympathy.

Hereafter municipal employees. except
members OF the uniformed forces, must pay
their fare on the citys ferryboats when
using them on private business. The fact
that they have been carried free has not
been known generally. IL is difficult to see
why they should have been. Are they less
able TO pay than the men and women who
happen to be in private employment? Does
the fact that they work for the taxpayers
entitle them TO special considerations To
each Of these questions the answer is No
The explanation Of this petty abuse is that
many employees Of the city regard the mn

primarily for their benefit and profit and
not for the protection Of the public.

Sad Fate Of a Lover Of the PrOduc-
ing Glasses.


The Hon. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
has had three hour conference with
Colonel jim GUFFEY; and hasty observ-
ers jump TO the conclusion that the
Colonel will be for" BRYAN in 1908. Mr..
BRYAN has warned all corporation not
ables, all trust magnates, to 60 TO the
back seats or keep away. The DemOc-
racy must be purified. 1t must be freed
from the unclean presence of the money
changers.
Now Colonel jim GUFFEY has become
an oil king in spite of himself, in spite
of heart that beats hOtIy for the pro-
ducing classes, in spite of a soul as ardent,
tender, beautiful, suffused with poetry
and responsive to every gust OF popular
opinion, TO every sympathetic Crinkle of
humanity as his own wide waving mus
taChe.
But who can buck triumphantly against
Fate and Nature? When the Curse Of
Gold had descended upon these United
States, when the aspirations of the toilers
had been crushed by the iron hand of
plutocracy, Colonel JIM GUFFEY went
forth, solitary and sore Of heart, to COM
mune with Nature. The bowels of the
earth yearned for him. Through miles
Of hostile strata the oil, less smooth and
less combustible than Colonel jim GUF-
FEY, gushed madly 10 the surface,
knocked and came out:
GUFYEI.' GuYTETi 'GUFFEYl' calling.
Spoutlng in a way appalling"
From Pennsylvania TO Texas, from Bar
aboo to Batum, the Colonel wandered,
trying to escape In vain. Everywhere
oil heard him, flew to him, made him
rich and richer. This is his weird. A
passionate hatred OF plutocrats and trusts
boils in his bosom. Yet trust bigwig
and plutocrat he must be.
II Mr.. BRYAN talked with Colonel JIM
GUFFEY for three mortal hours il was to
console, to bind up the wounded heart.
For officer Of Mr. BRYAN's the Colonel
cannot be. The more than fifty per cent.
rule may be well enough in Mr.. BRYAN's
advertising parlOr II cannot save the
doomed GUFFEY. All the oil in the world
seeks him. He will be richer than JOHN
DIVES yet. What a lot for a lover of
the producing classes!
