There was great deal OF common
sense in the ringing words used on
Sunday by the Rev. w. III. G. Temple
TO declare his views upon the subject
of the church in politics, There has
never been In this city a clearer expo
sition OF the distinction between the
duty of the pastor to his people and be-
tween the church and the state.
Ii is not in contempt OF the church
or Of the doctrines il teaches that the

Men may be very deyout Christians
and still opposed TO the exercise of a
direct influence by the church as an or
ganixation In civil affairs. Two men
may be of accord on the subject OF re-
ligious creed. but differ very much In
q matter OF politics. Mr. Temple rec
ogniEes that, If the church Is carried

LET THE GUILTY BE rUsIsHE

LET THE GUILTY BE PUNISHED.
The Post-InteIligeneer has not
charged Mr.. McElroy with unneces-
sary delay In prosecuting the cases
against Heaton, Smith and Boyce: nor
has it questioned his entire efficiency.
But it has questioned the propriety Of
his conduct in seeking the advice OF
political cabal In matters that solely
concern his Official duty and his rela-
tons to the public administration of
justice. 1t was an extraordinary pro-
ceeding It's effect was to make the
trial OF these alleged embezzlers Of
public money a question OF political
expediency. Who are these men that
they we're called into consultation and
whose advice was to determine the dis
triet attorneys policy in a matter that
concerns every citizen and taxpayer?
Were they all citizens whose entire
devotion to the public good was well
known? Were they large taxpayers?
Did they represent all shades Of sound
public opinion and property interest?
Had they no other concern but King
county's good In the trial and conyic-
ton Of the alleged offenders, II guilty?
How far was politics and how far were
motives OF political policy to determine
the character OF their counsel?
The county at large has vital inter-
est In the determination of these suits
1t has been charged that these officials
are guilty OF criminal dereliction Of
duty and gross malfeasance in ONCE
and that their conduct has been GRIM
inal. There is no compromise on a
question Of this kind. The prosecuting
attorney has a higher and more imme-
date duty to perform than to seek re-
covery of the money by a method that
ignored the commission of felony.
Principle Is involved. II these men, or
any Of them. are guilty, they should
be convicted; II innocent, they are en-
titled to the yindication which fair
trial will afford them. The question
of recovering the money can be deter
mined aside from the criminal proceed
| ings.

It looks as IL the minister of foreign
affairs Of the most effete of the mon
arches of the old world had met with
a terrible fright. He did not believe
there was anything of consequence
across the Atlantic. He had read the
humorous descriptions Of that little
toad across the big pond, but paid no
attention to IL. supposing that to be
all there was to it. He has suddenly
discovered that what he thought was
a toad is dragon. and his shrieks can
be heard all over Europe.
Count Goluchowski, the Austro-
Hungarian minister of foreign affairs,
represents nation which has progress
ed least and learned least of all the
continental powers. This il the first
time that Austria has ever made any
public acknowledgment of the exist
ence Of the United States as formida-
bic influence, and now he says that all
Europe must fight shoulder to shoulder
against a common danger, which he
elsewhere describes az the crushing
competition of transatlantic nations"
He is as short-sighted in his view
of the situation, and as impotent to
remedy whatever fault he may find
with it, as Austria was In those earlier
epochs to which he refers. He says
that the sixteenth and seventeenth Gen.
turtles were absorbed by religious wars;
he does not allude to the fact that the
family of Hapsburg, which now sits
upon the throne. had very little part in
those wars, but the dynasty which
sought to bring the people under the
yoke OF bigotry has passed away. He
refers to the fact that the eighteenth
century was marked by the triumph of
liberal ideas: but he does not add that
in no part of Europe has that triumph
been less marked than in Austria. He
also reminds Europe that the nine
tenth century has been notable for
the appearance Of great questions Of
nationality; but he does not allude to
the fact that the bitterest of interne-
cine strife is jeopardizing the fiimsy
empire Of which he is minister.
In that Bourbon strain which char
acterizes the rule he represents, he
says the twentieth century will be a
period marked by struggle by Eu-
rope for existence in the politico-com-
mercial sphere; and demands immedi-
ate counteracting measures. to the
destructive competition which trans
oceanic countries are carrying on" II
the competition Is destructive to the
transoceanic countries. the destruction
will leave the field clear; II it is not
destructive. but is proceeding under the
laws OF trade, the combined powers OF
Europe cannot check 1t. We can un-
derstand nation seeking to crush an
other by brute military force. but We
know that 1t is impossible to kill COM
petition except with competition.
Although the minister uses the ex-
| preston "transoceanic countries" he
| probably means Great Britain, as well
| as this country. IL that be so, and
| there Is to he commercial struggle
/ nothing could be better than the union
| Of Great Britain and the United States
| speaking one language. almost one
race-against the whole world.
