With us the scholar, the man of science, the inyentor, the pioneer in commerce of the arts, toll, delve and discover and enrich their age and we DISTINGUISH THEM TOO OFTEN only by disputing their achievements or by appropriating without rewarding them for the products of their genius. If material wealth be the end of being, if accumulation be the worthiest aim of human ambition, if the palaces or the buying of legislatures be the final and highest distinction possible to modern manhood, thten we must needs look them in the face. In the country in which you and I live, what we call civilization has undergone what is nothing less than A GIGANTIC REVOLUTION. The huge aggregations of capital which have principally taken from the hands of the individual the Indebend-en- t disposition of his labor and have introduced paralyzing uncertainty as to both his comforts and his future, and gradual widening of the breaches that seperate classes from classes, and the competitions that, while they cheapen the necessities of life, increase the elements of perplexities and uncertainty as to how great multitudes may obtain tnem ail these are features of our modern situation. ; D.

By Bishop Potter. Bishop Potter deliyered an address last night before the Church dub of Mew Haven and spoke at length on Wealth and Commonwealth. I choose this subject because of its paraDimount importance, he said. all vorce, crime and corruption in your cities have one root, the lust of money, the one eager, dominant hunger which salutes us from one end to another of our broad land is the passion, the hunger, the greed of gain. Challenge what method you will in the complicated web of our industrial, political or social life and you will find the question of gain behind it. Listen to what scandal you may in the haunts of politicians, in the camps of soldiers, in the halls of fashion, the final standard in the whole business may be EXPRESSED BY A DOLLAR MARK, Listen to the talk of children as they measure and compare their elders. Hear a group of young girls, whose fresh youth one would think ought in the matter of their most tender and sacred affections to be as free from . Washington Notes. If being in favor of this governments retaining the right to defend the Nicaraguan Canal in its own way be jingoism,. a majority of the U. S. Senate are jingos, as the Senate has amended the Canal treaty to that effect. The talk of some Senators during the debate which led to the adoption of the amendment indicates quite strongly that the Panama lobbyists have not yet abandoned hope of in some Hay-Pauneefo- te way preventing the passage of legislation for the construction of the Nicaragua Canal. There has at no time been any difference of opinion between the majority and minority of the House on the question of reducing the war taxes; the differences have been as to how the re-- d uction should be made and how great it should, be. That being the case the minority disappeared for the time being after its proposition to make the cut $70,000,000 a year, instead of as in the majority bill, was vot ed down, and the measure went through the Hoaase with a rush. It may not have such an easy time in the Senate. The administration thinks the bill already cuts too deep for safety and many Senators that it should cut much deeper, and the brewers are going to try to get more reduction in the beet tax in the Senate. $40,-000,00- 0, of the Consular service, wmeh they declared was too much governed by partisan politics, on a strictly business basis. The same committee heard Representative Aldrich, of Ala., in advocacy of his bill for the establishment, at Washington, of a Diplomatic and Consular school, on the same basis as the Military Academy at Point West and tha Naval Academy at Annapolis. The House ordered n investigation, a committee of five, of the charge that the death of Oscar L. Bscz, formerly a cadet at West Point, was the by result of his being hazed by his fellow cadets. The President this week sent a batch of reciprocity treaties to the Senate, including an agreement Cor the exten- sion one year of the time 'within .v hie h the treaties with Great Britain affecting the British West India Isl.in may be ratified; a treaty with Denmark, relating to the Island of St. Croix, i; 1 treaties with Nicaragua, Ecuador and the Doimnieian Republic. !
