ECCLESIASTICAL ISSUES.
This Country VIII Not Mix Affairs
of Church and State.

Another question of a somewhat more
delicate sort will be introduced by the
Spaiards before the peace tribunal, and
it will have to be dealt with pAinly,
though courteously. One of the prin-
cipal grievances of the inhabitants of
the Philippine Islands, and to a lesser
extent one of the grievances of the
pepole of Cuba, has been the oppres-
sive nature of the union of church and
State. A large part of the lands of
the Philippine Islands are held for pur-
poses of gain and profit by monastic
orders, and all of it is exempt from tax
alton. The abuses of clericalism in the
Philippines are probably much greater
than those which existed in England
prior to the drastic measures of Henry
VIII. The United States will have
every disposition to deal fairly with
the church, but Spain will be entirely
mistaken in supposing that an Amer
lean administration in any part of the
world will support ecclesiasticism at
the expense of a policy of just and equal
treatment of all citizens. The extreme
solicitude that the Vatican has shown
for it's investments in Spanish bonds
and it's property holdings in the Span
iSh colonies has not made an alto
gether favorable impression upon the
American mind. Whatever influence
the Vatican might at certain stages
of the Cuban troubles have exercised
in behalf of peace and good will among
men has been, it is to be feared, al
most if not quite neutralized by it's
concern for its earthly treasures. The
Government of the United States is not
in a position to guarantee the Vatican S
investments; nor can it promise a spe-
cial favor that ecclesiastical organiza-
tions may hold vast landed estates
for purposes of profit without paying
taxes like other holders of property.
There need not be the slightest danger
of religious or ecclesiastical bitterness
in the forthcoming settlement of Phil
ippine and Cuban affairs, is only ev-

Nine. Bonaparte's Huge Gong.

from the press of Charles Scribner's

concede that this one is rather an
exception in it's conciseness, and the
