The reinstatement of the Rev. DR.. McGlynn
As priest in good standing by Monsignor
Satolli. leprcs onting the Pope is conspicuous

means that his suspension and subsequent ex-
communication were mistakes to use no harshcr
word. and that Justice to Dr. McGlynn, no less
than regard for the interests Of the Church,
demand, his restoration. a few days ago it
was reported that the Archbishop Of w-Yorl
might resign. should his policy be reversed by
Rome This. however, is extremely improb-
able. Whatever may be his private feelings,
the Archbishop Will doubtless bow to the de-
c,sion of the Pope. and do nothing to minimize
It's effect And he can console himself with the
thought that the responsibility for a most vexa-
tious case in his diocese has been taken out
Of his hands. and that he is thereby delivered
from much anxiety and trouble
But the McGlynn case is much more than a
dispute between an independent priest and his
bishop Such disputes aIe of almost constant
occurrence in the Church, and, as a rule are
settled without attracting any general attcn-

was that it involved the liberty and indcpcnd

The CUBAN QUESTION.

The Cuban question is so little understood
by American readers that we direct attention
TO short series Of letters on is economic and
historical aspects now appearing in The TRlB-
iUNE Our s1an correspondent has enjoyed
special facilities for investigating the subject
owing ~ his familiarity with Cuba and his
acquaintance with the bcst-iniOmcd people
there. As he explains the present situation, the
Cuban question is rapidly becoming an Ameri-
can question: The island has become a COM
mercal dependency Of the United States, and
It's future lies largely under the intelligent and
deliberate control Of American diplomacy. po-
litically Cuba is connected with Europe. but
economically its fortunes are indssoubly bound
ND with those OF the United States. Natural
law has operated like the force of gravita;ion
10 bring it within the orbit Of American in
tcrcsts.
The most striking change which has been
wrought since the Cuban question was raised
by Southern Shareholders forty years ago is in
public sentiment ON the island. Then no in
tercst was taken there in annexation agitation
Cuba sold It's sugar in Europe and was viltu
ally Independent Of the American market. Its
economic as well a, It's political ties stretched
across the Atlantic. Now the reverse is true
lis market is here its natural base of supplies
is Ncw-Yorll its commerce is almost wholly
with the United States, and is largely under
the American flag and Washington is the
diplomatic capital to which it looks for aid and
succOr when it Is overwhelmed with misgov-
crnment and ruin All these causes have CO.
operated to produce a growing sentiment on
the island, among Spaniards and Cubans alike,
in favor of political as well as commercial
union.
