The highest tribunal of Maryland
has declared the Baltimore segre-
CATION law invalid on purely technical
grounds. This is obvious from the
following declaration of the court, in
which both the Republican and Demo-
cratic judges concurred:
This court is of the opinion that
the Mayor and City Council of Bal
timore may, in the exercise of its
police power, validity pass an ordi-
nance for the segregation of the white
and colored races without conflicting
with the provisions of the Constitution
of the United States or of the State
of Maryland.
The origin of the Baltimore segre-
cation law has frequently been dis
cussed. More than one-seventh of
the population of Our neighboring
city by the Patapsco, is oolored and
on the plea that the spreading of
negro settlements was seriously i'm
pairing property values the City
Council passed a segregation ordi-
nance prohibiting whites as well as
colored persons from moving into any
block in which people of their color
did not occupy a majority OF the
houses.
Within a radius of ten miles from
Baltimore, we are told, there are a
good deal more than 10000 negroes,
the largest number in the same area
anywhere with the single exception of
Washington. The only Northern cities
(not counting either this city or Bal
timore as such) having large negro
populations are New York. with
9I,7oo, and Philadelphia, with S4,45o.
The issue, outlined clearly by the
Maryland Court of Appeals. will no
doubt come before the Supreme Court
of the United States for final adjust
ment and this would bring the color
problem before the general public. A
peculiar thing of the new legislation
is that not race prejudice. but bust
ness reasons have been advanced in
Baltimore.

To Pension Its Clergy.

The plan of the Episcopal Church to
take up the matter of clergynen's PEN
sions at the general convention to be
held at New York in October is a
commendable step, indeed. In fact,
this should have been done years ago
by so wealthy a church.
We read in religious publication
that there are ninety-one diocese and
mission districts in this country, forty
two of which are without any pension
system. Their annual endowment ag-
gregates SI73.245, while the annual
disbursements total SII2,s34. The COM
mission in charge OF working out the
pension plan proposes to consolidate
all diocesan agencies and funds. to
start with fund of 100000 capital,
and to assess the whole church for
$4,000 each year.
The board intends to submit to the
general convention not only plan
to pension the whole body of the
clergy, numbering $500. automatically
as each pastor reaches the age of sixty
five, but also to pension ministers
widows. to educate their orphan chill
dren. and to care for any clergyman
disabled at any age. The scheme in
cludes foreign missionaries also. The
pension is to approximate half pay.
These plans remain tentative, as
there is doubt whether a tax on local
churches will furnish the 100000 re-
CURED annually. 1t has not succeeded
as to mission funds, which have NOR.
hold upon church-going persons than
pensions could possess. Why not get
the funds as gifts from the weather.

Works of Art Free.

There is but one meager excuse for
tariff duty on importations Of art,
the need of revenues from the tax on
those importations.
Art needs no protection. here or in
any other country. Every other great
nation OF the world besides the United
States has recognized this. Every
other great nation has realized that
the importation OF art is the bringing
in of new thought. fresh ideas and
ideals: that it is not deterrent fac
tor of rivalry. but a stimulus TO
stronger and more hopeful effort.
That the examples of art which are
brought from other nations into the
United States are a splendid help 10
our own artists none do more will
ingly testify than our artists them
selves. That the objects of art OF
other nations are of the widest bene-
Mt in our educational systems our
educators are unanimous in declaring.
That the arts of other nations ex-
hlbited in our own country are of dis
tinct and positive advantage to those
OF our industries in which form and
design play an important part-sucf
as fabrics. furniture, glass and china,
jewelry, stone and woodwork-not
only Our manufacturers, but every
patron of our manufacturers, must
know.
No one can benefit from a tariff on
art-neither the American artist, nor
the American patron, nor the foreign
producer. The government itself re-
ceives as gross receipts from the
duties on art an amount certainly not
commensurate with the benefits which
would accrue from free art to a peo-
pie whose government costs a billion
dollars a year. The gross receipts,
which it was estimated when the tariff
bill OF 1897 was framed, would be
one million dollars, have never
reached that amount and have sell
dom Appropriated it.
Art is not taxable within the theory
of laying the burden of government
cost upon luxuries. The great works
of art which come into the United
States inevitably-though sometimes

OVERRIDING Maneuvers.

From the Boston Transcript.
One of the most valuable results OF
the recent summer duty in the field of
the National Guard of Massachusetts,, If
not the most valuable, was the demon
stration of the fact that what the regi-
ments of infantry and the squadron Ct
cavalry need is organization camps, and
not field maneuvers. The field maneuver
has been overdone. The result is a slack
ness and slovenliness in the work OF the
enlisted men. The great need of the day
Is careful instruction in the details nf

camp, impossible to be taught IN the
