30 far we have only tho relations between
the Catholic press and the clergy at stake
which are chiefly matters OF concern TO mem
bers Of that body. But there is another prin-
ciple involved. which has an important bear
ing upon our institutions and laws. The
question which was the beginning of trouble
Tor Father Phelan was the amenability of
ecclesiastics TO the civil authorities, Father
Phelan had contended that they were amen
able. Mgr. Satolli held as follows:
it is well enough known that by canon law
all ecclesiastics and. by greater right, bIehops
are personally exempt from secular courts,
whether in ecclesiastical causes or in causes
either civil or criminal. unless the Holy See
Dy concoruat takes away their privilege.
This ruling of the Delegate Apostolic shows
that he has not entered into full compre-
hension Of American institutions We have
no concordat. and can have none. We recog-
nize no church. No man, layman or ecclcsi-
astic, no dienitary, civil or religious, is ex-
empt from the jurisdiction OF our courts, or
stands there on any different footing from
that of any other man. The claim set forth
in the words just quoted is an untenable one.

weary hours, waiting for the COM
mander-in-chief, the broker, to marshal
them at the box office, must be paid for
their extended il not arduous SER
vices. 1t is estimated that it cost
the brokers between two and
three hundred dollars to employ the
lazy line OF weary watchers at the opera
house from Saturday afternoon until
Tuesday morning last and this sum
must all come out of the people who
finally secure the tickets. Accordingly
the broker, who would, perhaps, not
otherwise charge premium Of more
than twenty-five cents on the tickets
secured for his customers, is compelled
to add to that an amount suffi-
cient to pay the force of quasi
purchasers made necessary by the
ticket limit rule. The tickets must be
had. and by splitting them up into blocks
OF ten or twenty it takes just so many
more men to buy them--and the men
must all be paid for hanging on all day
and all night.
The obvious moral is that so long as
people will want to see big thing at
theater and don't want to be put to the
Inconvenience Of buying the tickets
themselves it would be wise plan to let
one man buy them for the whole
town rather than to compel the
making of the transaction through the
medium of hundred men. And if
anyone doesn't like to pay broker for
the accommodation OF securing him a
good seat. let such get up early enough
to get into line ahead of the broker.

Father Phelan, as editor OF n Catholic

THE MCPHERSON CLOTURE.

There was recently an encounter, SO
it alleged, in the room of the Senate

Senator Mcpherson, New Jerseys elon-
gated senior Senator, and dininutive
David i. Hill enacted the title roles.
Mr.. Mcpherson is tall, nervous,
wiry sort OF chap, usually a perfect
gentleman but apt to forget himself in
the heat of debate, especially
II the conversation assumes a
personal nature. Hill was catechising
him, so the story goes, pretty sharply in
his dry cauStic way, wnen the debate
was brought TO cl Sc by McPherson's

Promptly the colleagues of both
gentlemen threw themselves upon the
beiligerents TO prevent a repetition of
the blow and retaliation Oh the part of
Senator Hill. How he inciden cl, sed.
whether they speak TO each other as
they pass by, remains a mystery.
Now THE News does not
propose to comment upon this
scrap between two such distin-
guished representatives of the Democ.
racy. That speaks for itself. But the
incident contains suggestion that
perhaps the gentle presiding officer OF
the Senate will reject as impracticable.
Why not a.opt the knock Sullivan

efficaclous in completely closing the

and Hill, and not only closed it but
kept the affair quiet for several weeks.
