other classes, may be taken by their proper custo-

Governor Felker has nothing to do but send

Governor assured an inquirer that the presence

The Secret of the Strait" Again.

The glib patter Of The London Standard about
An interOceanC canal by way Of the Arato River has
an ancient and hshlike smell Ii savOrs Of the days
of Rodrigo de Bast!das and Ferdinand de Neasco
and all the ancient legends of the secret of the
strait" humboldt believed in the practicability of
such q canal But Them too he advocated one up
the Mississippi and Missouri and over the hills to
the Columbia likewise, one from the headwaters Of
the Amazon over the Andes.
There is In fact, an AtratO canal in existence
You can go up the Atrato to the head of one of its
branches, thence through a ditch in the Ravne of
Raspadura to the headwaters Of the San Juan. and
thus 70 the Pacific If the season has not been too
dry you can make many miles of this "trip in
canoe drawing as much as ten inches Of water. OF
course It would be the easiest and simplest thing
in the world to transform it into a 40-foot deep
canal for the Mauretania to traverse! And Of
course trip Of several hundred miles along a shall
low, narrow and tortuous inland channel would be
incomparably preferable to ffty-mile cut across
the sthmus at Panama.
However, this fantastic vision Of Englands chief

complished fact on the natural lines Of least re-

Seminary, Church and World.

With the question of the relations of Union Theo-
logical Seminary with the Presbyterian Church the
general public is not particularly concerned 1t is
matter which may be left to legal and ecclesias-
teal determination. But in two other features Of
the opening year at that institution there is wide
spread and legitimate interest
one is the large enrolment 1t is the largest, we
are told in the history of the institution and it is
larger than that Of not nconsiderable colleges
That is its answer TO the common observation that
churches are dying out. Institutions are scarcely
declining when the number Of their active propa-
aandjsts Is increasing. Men do not flock in grow
ind numbers into moribund enterprise. Nor by
the WAY is Union singular in this. Drew Seminary,
rho great Methodist school this city, made last
week A like report of record breaking enrolment,
and other theological schools do the same.
Equally notable is the frank and fearless profess
zion Of faith with which the year at Union is
-orened The school will not be content with re-
heating ancient phrases 1t will insist upon Know
,na, their meaning II will have the courage OF It's
convictions. and it will have supreme regard Tor

vital principles which the former has taught TO

Now Is the Time for All Anti-Murphy
Democrats to Stand Up and
Be Counted.

II would be great help 10 the fusion cause this
scar aud an greater contribution 10 per"i'eu'
GOOD government in this city If the Democratic
voters who have been outraged 10y Murphy leaueI
ship could all record themselves under separate
emblem II is true that they can now rebuke Muir
ply by voting for the fusion city candidates uhder
the Republican or the Progressive emblem but
though the Tammany ticket would thus be decisive
" beaten Murphy's control of the Democratic local
organization would not be effectively challenged
as Il would be by separate official census or the
auti-Tammany Democratic vote,
II Is TO be hoped therefore, that through the Direct
Primary Nominations Alliance or some other agency
a column on the ballot may be secured IN which the
nnt- Murphy Democrats may register themselves aS
n distinct Democratic faction. The lot Of re-
spectnble Democrat In this city has been hard since
Tnmmany obtained exclusive control Of the party
iabe and machinery. Thousands of Democrats have
come here from Southern and Western states and
found themselves obliged. in order 10 retain their
party regularity, to consort with the Tammany
aborignes Such association must be extremely re-
imgnant TO anybody who has gotten beyond the
belief that the three cardinal principles IN politics
ere addition division and silence. Formerly re
sppctable Democratic Outlander had the choice OF
two local Democratic ganizatons-Tammany ana
fine County Democracy. Now he must consent to
,Tammonvize himself or remain politically homeless.
What the Democratic party needs and what tne
good Of the city also requires IS permanent
cleavage I'm the existing Democratic organizations
separating the friends Of decency and good gov
eminent from the "smug and sleek who prey on
the community and their greedy camp followers
Aurphy's power in the state rests entirely on the
fnct that he Is the undisputed master OF the city
organization and his power here Is due TO the
failure of honest Democrats TO demonstrate that
they really outnumber his mercenaries. This year
there Is the most favorable chance possible to strike
n balance between the Murphyites and the anti
Murphyites Should 100000 TO 10000 Democrats
vote for the fusion city candidates under an emblem
Of their own Murphy's career as Democratic
leader would come TO a sudden end

IMMIGRANTS CROWD FARMERS
Reader Finds Americans Cant Com
pete with Their Standards.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Three correlated but entirely dis
connected items appeared in The Tribune
on Tuesday and Wednesday. In Tues
days Tribune appeared n letter from n
farmer in New Jersey who denied that all
members OF his class were rich beyond
the dreams OF avarice. and on Wednesday
morning appeared the statement showing
admission of nearly 10000 immigrants into
this country during July; also dispatch
from Plano. Ill. showing an increase in
the number of tenant farmers.
Any person familiar with rural condi-
tons will admit that when the labor Of
other members OF the family Is taken into
consideration the farmer is the poorest
paid intelligent workman In the country.
He often turns loss into profit by reduc-
ing his family to q condition OF wageless
slavery. not for eight hours or ten hours a
day. but for twelve or fourteen hours
day--a condition which would create
strike among any other class OF workers
and arouse the agitators from one end OF
the country TO the other
This New Jersey farmer says that 1t is
impossible for the American to compete
with the foreigner who accepts such
working conditions This may readily be
admitted. and will account for the COM
plant from Plano. ILL.,. relative TO the in
crease in tenant farmers. The American
born youth OF the Middle West cannot
meet the conditions, and therefore leaves
the farm to try his luck In the city. He
knows that at the worst he will in the
city have a fair days work only and re-
ceIve for IL a fair days pay.
Enter the 10000 immigrants. Some of
them will go to the farms. and help to
swell the ranks OF tenant farmers. Most
OF them will probably remain in the city.
and by so doing will earn the condemna-
ton OF those who feel that the newcomer
should go to the soil and raise food for
the rest of us to eat, forgetful OF the OBJ
vious truth that II we admit the immi-
grant we must give him the same privi-
lege We enjoy-that of choosing his own
occupation and the place of his residence.

THE PEOPLES COLUMN

The city man insists that the farmer Is
making too much money. but doesn't try
10 get share OF that wealth by turning
TO the soil himself. The farmer can prove
that he isn't making even living wage
all things considered. There are, TO 10
sure. exceptionally able farmers. as there
are exceptional men in every walk OF me-
but they must not be taken as basis TOT

he is unable 10 meet the working condi-
