thoughts heailnr; upon the

capital and labor, especially considered
In the llcht of the steel Ktrlke. lie was
nfked If the masslnR of the great Meel
plants Into one vast machine had not
Biven to the workers the iden that they
must strike for unionism now or never.
He replied: "Very likely. Hut may It
not also have been a moment calllns
for the greatest discretion? The time
for the Kient leader was never more
manifestly at hand than when this
Mrlke matter was dlscur.sed. The
workers select their leadeis on prliul
I les known to themselves, but how
many of them have stood the test of
lca.llnfr a creat strike or otherwise set
tllnfr a (?rent labor question? It some
times appears that they are releeted
for a reason apart from their poweis of
jtidKinc or acting .sagaciously in Kieat
situations."
"How can the situation be bettered
for the woikers In the discussion of
their difficulties with employeis?" the
bishop was aked He replied: "Hy
IfarnlriK from contact with them. This
may sound olij-cuie since the two stand
so obMinatfly ap.ut, hut it would he
better for all, betlr for employer as
well as employed. If each learned to
understand the other better.
"Th man who does not wish to Join
a union mutt not be forced to, hut
r.Ither must the man who is a unlon
if.t be romr'Plled to RVe up his union
while the employer li at liberty to
Join n trust. No employer will continue
his btirlness If he does not make a
profit. While human mime remains
at- I: Is the v.ojkman will Insist that he
r,et in wanes rome r.hare of Increase of
profit, and capital should be content
that this is so. for It means enthusiasm
In woik, which must exist where pio
Krefs l looked lor. Unionism which
would bat down all woikers to a dead
level of skill and effort would he as
harmful as the corporate management
that beat down all woikers to the level
of unskilled lahorers. To m.dntaln in
dustrial arrendancy a ronstnnt upward
growth of master workmen from the
ranks of the tollers is necessiry. It
has ben the commonplace of American
Industrial history, and no system,
unl.onlst or corporate, that opposes It
or '(Hscouraces it can have a permanent
plaxp In our Institutions. Independence
In-Jiorkmnn or master should not be
drroyed. The problem is to hrlnrj
th.tt spirit of freedom, of Independence
IntA acrord with the new condition

ate4 labor.'
Irt other words, progress Is more cer
tain through co-operation than through
antagonism. Hut co-operation, to b
( ffetjtlve, must be honest. Labor' nght
to .organize Is as sound us capital's,
but each must bo Judged by results.
Vh,ere those results are good It proves
that the organization In Intelligently
directed, but where they take the form
of strikes and boycotts on the one
harjJ or of gouslng and cheating on
thfijpther, they cannot last. There Is
nofrjetter principle for the guidance of
bow worklngmtn and employers than
the Golden Rule; and ultimately It
must be the guiding star.

tVH to the chagrin of some
orthy peisons, the Young
en's I'lirlntlan associa
tion of iliirtfnrd, fnnn.,
recently Intioduced pool tables among
Its Instrument of amusement. The
experiment Is the subjeot of un Inter
esting Utter In the New York Kvciilng
Post, from which the appended facts
are taken.
Knur tables were Installed last Feb
ruary, and immediately became popu
lar. They are for the use of nil mem
bers above lfi jears of nge and may be
used between the houts of 3 and 10
o'clock p. ni. Kach player must pay
a cent n game, smoking at play Is In
trdlcted, bad language is haired and
p!aers and spectator!) are required to
remove their liats. I!e. Lewis V.
Hicks, a prominent Congiegatlonallst
cletgymnn of Hurtlord, Investigated
carefully tho effects and In n letter to
the Cungresntlonallst hays: "The
young men fiequentlng the room have
been oiderly, a social ntmosphere has
been cieated in a pleasant way, num
bers have been led to unite with the
association, and, so far as known, no
harm has rome to any one by the ex
periment." He adds the opinion that
the day Is not far distant when pool
will be a regular means for attracting
young men to association rooms every
wheie. Objection to this form of uinuPinnt
as a feature of Young Men's Christian
association work Is entirely sentl
lnentul. Fool has been ued In gamb
ling, but for that matter, so has wheat.
Pool Is a game often played by men
the wotse for liquor, but it hns had
nothing to do with putting the liquor
Into them nor would Its disappearance
i educe the totals of Inebriety, Hecause
It has been badly used is not a con
i inclng iea-on that it may not be bene
ficial when used properly ns a diverting
social pastime well calculated to popu
lating asoclatlon work. We don't
know what the plans are for Pcrnnton's
new Young Men's Christian association
building in tespect of amusements, but
If 400 young men can average 300
games of pool a d.vy In the association
building nt Hnrtfoid without being the
worse therefor, but on the contrary,
according to expert testimony, being
upon the whole the better, Hlnce many
have been reclaimed fiom habitually
attending demoralizing plai-es. It might
he worth while for the dliectors of the
splendid local Institution to look Into
this matter.

I'RING the year ended June
SO theie were ?.4SS more final
homestead entiles made in
the general land office, nnd
covering I.ISO.MS more acres than for
any one year since the passage of the
homestead act on May sn, lSii.', and
neatly one-fourth as many final enr
tries of homesteads nnd acres ns In
the entire nln"teen years immediately
following the enactment of that law.
These enti les numbered 6',tj4! nnd cov
ered ft,4!,T,27.'i acres, an increase oer
the great year before of T.S7S entries
and an Increase of l.OlS.trlil acres. In
rilglnal homestead entries, final home
stead entries nnd commuted homestead
intries made last fiscal year there were
111.300 entries in all, and these em
braced 15,455,057.43 acres for actual
bona fide homes to American settlers.
The amount of land dlspored of during
the last yenr is 15,5Gi,7S'i.30 acres, show
ing an Increase of 2,108, 00S. 31 ns com
pared with the aggregate of disposals
for the fiscal year ended June 30, lflOO,
namely, 13,4ri3,SS7.fi ncies. These fig
ures do not include final entries, the
area nf which has been reported In
previous years as original entries. The
cash receipts are equally astonishing,
as they amount to nearly five millions
of dollars $1.07.160), exceeding the
hlsh-wnter mark of the last year by
$532,40i.r.n and exceeding the total cash
ic-celpts of the land office for the fiscal
year 1R37 by $2,SS4,2Jfl. The total cash
receipts for that year were $.'.017,031.
No single j ear within the past ten yenis
has witnessed so Urge a sum teeeived
on disposals of public lands ns dining
the year Just closed.
Nevertheless there Is much good land
left. The record stands: t'napproprl
ated and unsurveyed, 0n,O0fi,974 acres;
reserved. 1 17.3S0.002 ncres; appropri
ated, 74V.nss.Ofil acres, Total acreage,
1, soo.530 840. This Includes Alaska, nnd
excludes the lecently acqulied insular
possessions. Irrigation will som day
make valuable much that Is now re
garded as of little worth.

Clerical Partisanship.
Evi
I3HY little while the country,
or some part of It, Is aroused
by tho nensatlonal nppenr-
niKe of a minister of the gos
pel ns a hot pattlsnn In secular contio
versles. One time It Im a.s tho accuser
of politicians or of men In public ofllce;
anon It Is ns tho denouncer of icitnln
authors, business men or leaders In
other fields of humnn activity who
have followed theoiles of action differ
ent from the theories approved by the
clergyman. Rarely does the clergyman
thus Inclined do hlfl secular fighting ns
a layman, wllllnp to tnke blows ns
freely as to give them; almost Invnil
ably he wraps hlmtelf In tho cloth uf
his sacred oillce nnd relies upon It to
protect him acalnst tho natural conse
quences. One new phase of this tendency la
visible In tho vicinity of Plttfburg,
whero certain ministers with congre-
gatlonti largely recruited from among
the strlklns "teel-workets have courted
applaiite by Impassioned outbursts
njnlnnt "tho trusts" and hy the em
ployment of extravagant language
bearing upon tho strike flint, In other
mouths, would Immediately be recog
nized ns demagogism of the sloppiest
kind. This circumstance lias led the
Philadelphia Times to consider bilelly
tho proper functions of tho clergy In
such a sltuntlon, and we gladly adopt
Its language no our own!
"Whetlier"trufts' are bad things or
not, they ate the concern of the state,
not of the ohutch. I'nder our system
of government wo must keep this linn
of Jurisdiction distinct. We do not pei
mlt tho stnto to Interfere with the
church; when the nuthotlty of the
church Infringes In affairs of state, It
In n duty of patriotic Americans to
piotest. We ore told that the church
must concern Itself with tho living
questions of the day. Nineteen hun
dred years ago the Roman occupation
of .ludea was of all-absorbing Interest.
Whether It was right to pay tribute to
Caesar was no mere academic prob
lem, but a burning question of patri
otic duty. Whnt was the answer given
by the Authoilty to which nil Chtls
tlan mlnlsteiH must bow? 'Render unto
Caesar the things that ate Caesnr's,
and unto Cod the things that nre
Ood'' The regulation of tho trusts Is
Caesar's work. Ood's ministers hnve
their work In teaching faith and hope
and love and llghteousness of life to
rich and poor alike, not In regulatfng
tho concerns of secular government. It
la not denied that there nre ethical
principles Involved In our social and
economic conditions that come properly
within the tango of the religious
teacher, or that tho cleigy, as citizens,
may usefully concern themselves In
public, questions and In opposition to
public wiongs. Hut their training does
not usually qualify them to deal with
tho large ptohlenis of practical states
manship nnd they have the very best
possible authority for letting them
alone."
When a man becomes a preacher he
does not loqe his Identity as a citizen;
but It becomes him to remember thnt
thero are things a layman may do
without. Impropriety which would not
look well In the, preacher. He cannot
bo too careful In drawing the dividing
line.
General Wood's assertion that the
courts of Cuba are the weakest por

Grover Cleveland's offence In basket

Those who object to the president
being made a doctor of laws should
consent to his being made a doctor of

One trouble with the anti-Tammany
campaign In New York Is that those
who ought to lead It won't and those
who want to lead it shouldn't.
It Is by no means an undebatable
proposition that a. majority of the

Chaiifadqtia Season
Com?s s End
Special C'erre (pen leiiee ef The Ttlbune.
Ohaiitauqua, X. V i Aug, 31.
THIS Wr.KK marked tl.e closing of the largest
and most merciful season In the history
of Hie Chautauqua avemld.v. There hate
been htre durinc Ihe aummer JO.uon people,
and aa many as I2,V in l&,isV) l one time.
Nearly eet) Hate In the Unloi has been repre
sented and fifteen foreign countries, The pro
gritnme has been of unmiial excellence, and the
very beet talent In Ihe way of lectures, readers
and musicians haic appealed on Hie Chmlsuqui
plitform. To rare fur the wants of Wyssi indl
sliluals within the epuv of two months, ami
Mippl) them with most of Hie ronifnlences of
rity life Is not an eny tak,and the department
of adminlsttation haj been constantly on tho
alert.
o
AlthniiEh the end Is ilrtually at hand, the
casual oUerier, or the many exeiirslonists who
drop In fur day or two, would neier dream
that bj MoncU) the season of loot will le a
matter ef hlstotj-. In one icperl rhautan
qua Is unique. There is n9 Rradual dropping
off or lettini one down eay. The progtamme is
Ju-t as complete atnl the attrarllona a itood the
la.t dav as at any time durlnar the season, A
dramatic readitip, "Hie Sljii of the Cross," by
Miss fisj Zenola Macbaran, will constitute the
closing number Then there will be some fire
works on the lake front, the rhimes will rlnu, .is
usual, but for the last time, and Hie next morn
inif there will be no bulletins on the bosid, no
lecture bells will tins:, and we will suddenly
awake to the fact that all is over and It in tine
to go home. Then what a rem lew spirit will
periade the place. People will not be able to
pet away fast enoueh. nnd the icrounds will he
iaatcd of Its present eciupmts almost as rapidly
ns the amphitheater Is emptied after an eien
Insr enlettainment. Put the doe of the rio
ptamme does not mean an end to eierj thing for
all. September Is one of the most charmlhK
months on the lake, and manj eipeeially the
collate holders, prefer this time to all other.
"Ihe fi'hlns is exiellent then, and a truly social
life begins, that cannot be enjeied while the
lectures are Roltic on. Hie grounds are then
free tn any one and become a famrite picnic
resort for patties from Jamestown and other
nearhv towns. The Pan-American, too, eontlnu'j
to bring nittirs here, and most nf the hotelj
and boinling houses will keep cpen until late
In the fall.
n
Three of the finest courses rf lectures of the
seasen were glien this week, by Professor Albeit
Pu'hnell Hart, of Hariard; Dr. Kdward Steiner.
of Sandusky. Ohio, and Prnfesvir I V Vlagler,
Chiutauqua's organlt Proltssor Hart's mhject
wis "The Monroe Dictrine" He treated of lt
origin, the intetrretatlons and misinterpretations
placed upon it, and the psrt It plajed In the
policies of the different presidents and secre
taries of state. Professor llatt thinks that we
make the Monroe doctrine mean whateier we
want it to mean, and the fan is we know- ery
little about it, but that it wis intended original
ly to asure other American states that the
I'nlted States meant them well and wnulrl not
allow a third party to interfeie with them; nnd
It declared that the United States would pro
tect ils own intercuts and IU national rights.
Dr. Stelner has srent seienteen jeara of his
life among the Mn nd his descriptions of the
manners and customs of these people were most
int. resting, as was also bis illti'trated lecture on
"Journejs Through Slaile bind" Profes'or
Flagler's lectures weie un the great composers.
He not only treated of their Hies, but of their
methods, illustrating the litter by numbers on
the organ. Another lecturer of note who nf.
pcared on the Chautauqui platform last week
was Hon. C. W. Taiihinks, I'nlled Statea senator
from Indlini, who delliered an nddres on the
"Spanish-American War." Clhert Hubbard, of
Ilojrioft fame, gae a mo-.t inleiesting talk en
"Hojeroft IdeiK" Miny people came to Chau
tauqua for this lecture alone.
o
In the way of light) r entertainments there
hue been readings and concerts. Mrs. Isabel
Rraghill Here her, who wa3 si popular here two
seasons ago, leeched the eaine mation tendered
her then, and she lias lost noiblng of her (harms.
Her reidlnif nf "s You I. ike It" sis next to
seeing it plajed Mrs. Hugh Fagan read from
her own work, "Fun from Dixie Hearthstones',"
Naturally this pleied the Southerners, who haie
lieen here in such numbers, nnd alt readers or
speakers from Dixie Kind ar sure of a welcome.
The last reader of this season is Miss Oav Zenola
Mirl.ar.in, of New- York, who romea to Chautau
qui for tho first time, but if her reception is
any sign she will come many other tunes.
- o -
Perhaps it will ho interesting to learn ho
widespread is the Chautauqua ronstituenci This
statement, made from the registration office, is
somewhat significant: While the hulk of attend
ance comes from the central section of the coun
try. we lme had with us many people from almoit
eiery $tate in the 1 nion, and from many foreign
countries. Delaware, New- York, New .Jersey,
Pennsihania. Illinois, Indiana, Mlrhigan and the
District of Columbia haie fully sustained their
attendance nf list j-ear. These states haie sent
more this j-ear thin last: Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Mln
neeota, Ohio, Kentuckv, tnuth Dakota, Idaho,
Montana, Oregrn, Oklahoma, Utah ind Wash
ington, and alio Alaska. These states haie
doubled their attendance th rrosent j-ear:
Rhode Island, Wivonsin. North Carolina, South
Carolina, Reorgia. Louisiana, Mississippi, Vir
flnia, California, Colcrado, oith Dakota, Iowa,
Indian Territory, Kan-as and Nebraska From
the South the attendance Is x-ery largely in
creased Alaluma, Arkansas nnd Missouri haie
sent two. thirds more than last icar Florida,

At the close ot this remarkably currrssfnl sea.
eon it secma fitting tn look forward to the ren
ins jear and find what plans haie been made
for its adient Dr. (leorge E Vincent, when
interviewed, had no proplie. y to make, but he
' had some lerv Interesting new ideas for Chan-
tauaqua, which are is good i a piophen- "The
Library school his hern a aerv ni'cevful new
lenture, and next jear it will be strengthened,"
he said. "The Kngll'h dipartment has been of
great eerilre and next year Mill ee tint depi't
ment added tn and new work offered I slvudd
not wonder If the department were doubled in
size and some rt the best names in the rountii
added to the list of professors We want to mik
that a sirong department. We feel a lack nt
Chautauqua in the irt line That side of eethein
training Is not adequately represented, and w
hope tn hue a fire pruof building soon in whnh
we caji hue a library, a nuseuin and an an
galler.v. When the fireproof buildirg is rei.lt
we ran haie here one of the finest loan exlilh'
tions of paintings and riiawings in the count! t
It is probable that the course In fllble sludi
will re concentnted to a three weeks' couise.
instead of the six weeks' course, as it is now. A
ministerial conference Is planned where such sub
jects as Interest a minister may be discussed b.t
representatlie lecturers"

The Hall of Christ, (he units of which are nmt
rising rapidly, Is going to hate a twolidd func
Hon in Chautauqua life: First It is to be a
t-ymliolie monumental structure, reprcicnting the
Christ spirit, the guiding and dominating; Influ
ence which penades ( hautauqua as an Institu
tion. Second It is tn be the center for reierent
study and worship. It will haie an art collection
In which productions of the best repi emulations
of Christ will be gatheicd, and a library in
which lolumea which bear upon the perionalitj
and mission of fhrlst will be cdlected Classes
for the study of Ills life and trarhliig will he or
ganized, and a special form of serilce will le
used for dally devotion. Th: building will be
kept sacred for this one great purpose in its
many-sided aspects.
-o
One ii f the new features ol the next j ear's as
sembly will be a building In which the Rirli'
rluh may meet and hate their classes in basket
wealing, bent iron work, cooklrg, etc. It wo
not until the first of August last jear that tl-e
fund for the building was started and before
the end of the summer fl.ono waa pledged. This
summer there has been much enthusiasm in the
work and now the pledges amount altojether io
