Opening Session of the American Hils- _— ‘torical Association. ‘The array of distinguished names that con- stitute the roil of membership of the American represented in the audience that gathered last evening in the hall of the Columbian University. It was the opening session of the seventh annual meeting of this association. ‘The Hon. John Jay, LL.D., of New York city, the president of the association, was not able to be present, as be is suffering from an accident sustained some time ago. ‘The association was therefore called to order by Hon. Wm. Wirt Henry of [ichmond, Va., one of the vice presidents, who read the inaugural address prepared by Mr. Jay. He said the American Historical Association enters upon its sixth year under new and favorable a .

But despite our progress America is still fr behind Europe in the beaach or history, and Prof. Emerson remarks that “1 has been taught very badly in America, or rather, to be honest, it has hardly been taught at all.” LESSONS OF HISTORY. He spoke of the forgetfulness of historic les- sons, not only in Europe but in this country, and said that in this country the papers of the aseociation and of the Johns Hopkins Univer- ity are giving historic expositions of the prin- ciples and policy ofthe republic as exhibited in congressional acts and § decisions. Dr. Schaff's paper quotes with judicial exact- ness the adjudications on this point asa mat- ter not of doctrine but of fact, showing that in New York the Episcopal Church was disestal lished by the Constitution, which repealed all parts of common the law which “might be con- Strued to establish or maintain any particular denomination of Christrians or their ministers.” Dr. Schaff also showed that the supreme courts in Reynolds agt. the United States, held that Congress cannot pass alaw which prohibits ion, and that “‘the tirst ing | smeudment to the Constitution expressly pro- brella stands, everything in honse! line.

Mvustc Hatt.—Agnes Huntington in “Paul hibits such legislation.” This is the amend- ment of which Jefferson wrote that he conter plated it with profound reverence as “*buil a wall of separation between chureh and state. Br. Jay went on to say that Dr. Andrew D. White, with bis large scholarly and diplomatic experience, had shown in one of hisable papers that the demand of the nation for men trained in history and politieal and socig] science and cag give Frank a bad jurisprudence could hardly be overstated. HISTORY AND PATRIOTISM. Will not the American boy, said Mr. Jay, as he reads of Magna Charta and its confirmation thirty times the more appreciate the fact that it was the basis of the petition of right, the bill of rights and of our Declaration of Independ- ence, and of the amendments to our Constitu- tion? Already school committees have began | 2 provide new historjes and primersfor young ans, whe shoufd be taught in the most he real homely facts of gov- ‘h the annal. of the neigh! interest by their local color. ‘The scholars and great educationalists of Amer- decply impressed with the absolute ne- cessity of Imbuing the children of America with the American spirit as developed in its history if the character of the nation is to be reserved. Bishop Potter, the Hon. Andrew 8. Draper, President Potter ‘of Hobart College, were quoted, and Presdent Harrison had asked “Flow one shall be a safe citizen who is not in- telligent?” that our republic is destined at no distant day to rule the world more widely than Rome in her proudest days, not by rea- son of her continental power but’ by the force of ber influence and example—non ratione im- perii, sed imperio rationis. If that dream is to be fulfilled, will it not be due to the preser- in its purity and manly strength of the ican spirit taught by American history to American children in the public schools? CANADIAN TOPICS. ‘The remainder of the papers of the evening were devoted to Canadian topics. Dr. J. G. Bourinot, C.M.G., clerk of the Canadian house of commons, read a paper on the subject: “Canada and the United States from historical points of view.” In brief it was a charming review of the relations existing between Canada and the United States aa seen from a Canadian point of view.

Papers Read at Yesterday Afternoon’s Ses- sion of the American Economic Association. Prof. Newcomb presided over the afternoon session of the American Economic Association yesterday in the absence of the president, Prof. Walker. The first paper was read by Prof. William W. Folwell, professor of political seience in the University of Minnesota. The subject was: “A Syllabus of Political Economy.” ‘The paper was an argument for the recognition of public economy as a distinct though related science, running parallel with that of private or social economics. ‘The reading of the paper was followed by an oral explanation of a set of nine charts show- ing the main features of a syllabus of Ameri- can public economy, devised by the speaker and submitted to the nt of the associa~ tion. This syllabus the subject men- tioned into three main divisions to which the government appears, respectively, as (1) an ex- clusive manager and proprietor; (2) as a lator of private and corporate activity; (3) as a mere contribution to science and industry. EDUCATIONAL VALUE OF POLITICAL ECONOMY. ‘The next paper was entitled “The Educa- tional Value of Political Eeonomy,” by Prof. Simon N. Patten of the University of Pennsyl- varia. He began by calling attention to the study of mathematics and the monopoly it has enjoyed as a means of logical discipline. He dic not think the claim of mathematics to eo exclusive a place is justified by the content of the science, the character of the reasoning or by the way in which it is taught. He in sought to show that political economy was in many respects fitted to become a substitute for mathematics as a means of cultivating the reasoning powers, and that in some ds it politics with political economy he cited George's Pr and Poverty,” wherein said Her ncer'’s negative thoral question of the contiection of taal politics were mixed up with « purely econom- Both papers gave rise to long discussions, Lid and tbe ne wae 20 fully occupied that the ims on ‘program, Cntitled “Laud Transfer Heform, the Torrens Systom of Land Registration,” by Prof. J.

Judge Miller referred to other cases of the kind that had been before the court. This house, he th remarked, isa hive out of which all swarm in the morning. There is of the kind on B street and both re alive with this claas of o of a Jack Shepherd Burrows. They rush up to ner that is calculated to frig! for money to get a cup of coffee. They drin the free’ coffee out of a saucer left on a table and drink paid-for whisky out of a glass on the bar.” The judge added that in disposing of the prisoners before the court he would draw the line between the workingmen and the tramps. 4 FIDDLER GETS OFF EASILY. The first man called gave his name as Frank Wilson. He said he was a violin player and had played in Baltimore and Richmond. His home was in New York. The officers did not mame and the judge took his personal bonds. John Ward's story was that he came here a day before Christmas to get ina home. He had $2 with him, but the officers said he spent most of it for rum. He was sent down for 0 days. A VICTIM OF THE OYSTER PIRATES. Tom Scott told the best story of the lot. His home is in Baltimore, ho said, but he had been down the bay on an oyster boat. “I was on the boat for five weeks, your honor,” he said, ‘and when I was discharged at Britton's bay the captain gave me $1 and put me ashore. came through here as the nearest way home.” “You can have six hours to get out of the District,” said the court Elias Hammond is a resident of this city. The officer characterized him as a loafer and a drunkard. ‘The prisoner claimed that he had been selling eggs und his personal bonds were accepted. A QUAKER city “‘vaa.” Jake Campbell has been in Washington one week. He came here from Philadelphia and the judge thought that he might remain here ninety days longer, but fixed the work house as his home. “qu1s MAX'S A TOUGH,” said Policeman Kendall, as John Doue stepped to the front, and John’s manner verified the officer's statement. He tried to explain that he was a workingman, when the officer udded: “Why, judge, he tried. to steal a stove in the station.” Here the prisoner showed fight and it took the combined efforts of nearly a dozen policemen to put him back into the cell. He was given the limit of the law—ninety days. Jesse Watson and Joseph Kuhn were called and disc! . Charles Miller, a pensioner, was the next to answer. He was charged with being an habitual drunkard. The judge gave him thirty days in which to get the liquor out of-him. ‘TWO BALTIMOREANS AND A HOSPITABLE WASHIXG- Tox George Ross gave his home as the Marsh Market in Baltimore. He got three months. John Wilson, a boiler maker from Baltimore, was discharged. Jake Kossoph’s reputation, as given by the officers, was not a good one. ’ Jake is a resident of this city and said he was sleepi gat the lodging house because there was company at fre home and he gave up his bed to them. Sixty da: Wil Pierce, the last of the thirteen, was discharged. ae ee GEORGETOWN. ‘THE CHRISTMAS MORNING HOMICIDE. Several hours were devoted yesterday to an autopsy and inquest over the body of Samuel Duvall, the old negro who, as stated in yester- day's Stax, was struck upon the head Christinas morning with a stone or a club as he stood in front of his house, which is between P strect and Rock creek, opposite the Metropolitan street car stables. The testimony at the inquest developed nothing farther than a suspicion as to the parties concerned in the homicide. An employe of the Metropolitan car stables, Wash- ington L. Edmunds, testified that between 4:30 and 5 o'clock Christmas morning. while on his way to work, he saw “Sonny” Epps, “Toney” Walker and another colored man whom he did not know, but would recognize him if he again saw him. ‘As he neared them,one of the negroes picked upa stone and started to throw it at him, when one of the other negroes said, “No! Don't hit him! That's Edmunds.” After complet- ing his testimony one of the prisoners held as a witness, whose name is James Oliver, was confronted by Edmunds, who immediately recognized him as one of the two who had a banjo and whose name he did not know. 0) ver admitted having a banjo, but denied being anywhere near the scene of the homicide, yet Edmunds declares he saw some one coming up from the hollow with a banjo. and this, he thought, was the man. Several other witnesses were examined, but nothing more conclusive could be obtained. No weight'was placed upon the testimony of a small boy named Pat Gil- hooley, who stated that he saw the old colored man crawling in front of his house on his hands and knees, and, thinking it was a ghost, threw a stone about the size of his fist xt him, but did not know whether he struck the old man or not. Further inquiries will be made in the case at another inquest, to be held tomorrow morning. In the meantime Police are out looking for more evidence. HIS BODY FOUND IN THE CANAL. ‘The body of “Major” Walker, a well-known colored man of this place, was found in the canal near Agnew’s wharf, foot of 34th street, yesterday afternoon. He lived alone on acanal boat, and hed been missing since last Friday. It is supposed that in attempting to reach boat he stumbled, and, falling on the ice, it broke with his weight ‘and he was drowned. The finding of a hat on the ice Sunday led to « search and the recovery of the body. The body was removed to the morgue and the coro- ner was notified. DIED AWAY FROM HOME. Mrs. Anne M.
