Washington Post: 1t looks as II DR.. Briggs
would not be allowed to enjoy a peaceful
seclusion even after his ordination by the
Protestant Episcopal church. White 1t can
not be said that he has freshly aroused the
clergy or the laity of the denomination, it
is well known that had 1t not been for the
warm %espousal CT his cause by Bishop Potter
he would have been rejected. The present in
terest in the case is stirred by the coming
diocesan convention in New York on Sep
TENDER 81. a close contest Is looked for,
and II the opponents of Bishop Potter are
victorious, it is said that they will make
things decidedly uncomfortable for DR..
Briggs. This standing committee Yields a
great deal Of power within the Protestant
Episcopal church. 1t is composed of an
equal number of clergymen and laymen, but
the clerical member have always been
granted exclusive authority on theological
matters. When the question of admitting
DR.. Briggs came up before the present
standing committee, his champions won, but
they also refused to ordain John Tilley, jr,
who was urged by Rev. Dr.. Clendenin, the
leader Of the anti-Briggs faction.

SOUTH AMERICAN DISTR UST.

1t is impossible to say how much sub
~stantial foundation there is for the ru-
mors of possible combinations among
the states of South and Central Amer
lea against the United States, which re-
cent Washington advices have stated
are received with some concern by the
officials there. According to Secretary
Hay, in his letter to the chairman of
the Ohio republican state committee,
our friendship with our neighbors to
the south Of us, from the Rio Grande
to Cape Horn, grows firmer and more
genuine from day to day.
This is certainly most excellent au-
thority and yet it is not incredible that
Europeans in South and Central Amer
lea are exerting their influence to Gre
ate sentiment there hostile to the
United States. 1t appears that the
press of Brazil, unquestionably insti-
gated by European residents, whose mo-
tives are obvious, is convinced that the
United States has designs on the ter
ritory on the upper Amazon, which is
claimed by Bolivia, and 1t is stated
that the agitation has affected both
Mexico and Argentine. The decision adj
verse to Columbia in the Cerruti case, Of
which President Cleveland was arbi-
traitor and the cruise of ar American
gunboat up the Amazon and the ORR
noco, are made to serve the purpose of
instilling distrust of the United States
in the South American mind and to
foster sentiment that this country has
embarked upon a land-grabbing career
which may ultimately reach to the ter
ritory south of us.
That there is a systematic propaganda
America, subsidized by European trade
rivals, is not to be doubted. 1t has
really been going on for years, with
more or less damage to u commercial
interests In that quarter of the world,
but 1t has now assumed a political char
acter, finding opportunity and excuse
in our territorial expansion policy. 1t
is easy to understand that Europeans
having trade relations with the south
ern countries should take advantage of
this chance to more firmly intrench
themselves commercially, but 1t is diff
cult to comprehend how the people of
South and Central America can be in
duced to think that the United States
has any designs upon their territory, or
any purpose to depart from the policy
which it has pursued toward them since
they became independent communities
a policy of friendship and protection.
There is not a southern country that
has ever been given the slightest reason
to doubt the friendly concern of the
United States for it's security and vel
fare and the notion that this country
desires any territory of any state in the
southern half OF this hemisphere Is to-

STILL PREDICTING A CHANGE.

Some of the Washington correspond
ents are still predicting that there will
be a change of commander in the Phil
ippines. One Of the most trustworthy
and usually best informed among them
stated a few days ago that at the War
department it was the general belief
that Miles will be selected to take COM
mand of the army in the Philippines,
Otis being retained there to administer
civil affairs. There is no reason to
doubt that an arrangement of this kind
has been under consideration, but 1t is
intimated that the president is ex-
tremely reluctant to do anything which
may seem to reflect upon the military
course of General Otis.
There is no disposition anywhere, so
far as we are aware, to put any slight
upon Otis, but if, as clearly appears to
be the case, the duty imposed upon him
of directing both military operations
and civil affairs is too great he should
be relieved of part of it. This is re-
CURED in justice to himself and to the
General Gus mas not met
public expectation as a military com
mander. Admit that this is in a meas
ure due to his having been given too
large n task, that cannot restore public
confidence in him. Large reinforce
ments are going to the Philippines and
within the mex six weeks it is expected
that another campaign will be opened,
which 1t is the policy of the War de-
partment to push with all possible
vigor. 1t should be directed by a
commander who can go to the front
and devote himself entirely to military
operations. This is manifestly the
proper plan and consideration for NJ
individual should be permitted to inter-
fere with it.

Faith Heaters and the Law.

The attorney general of Illinois has de-
cided that there is no law in the state to
protect children from ignorant parents who
trust to mental healers in cases Of physical
sickness. A child at Tuscora died from
typhoid fever after three or four faith cur
lists had treated 1t, and the local prosecut-
ing attorney asked advice in the matter. lie
is told that II 1t is found that the parents
honestly believed in the efficacy OF prayer
and the treatment of the faith healers they
can be held guilty Of no offense. The state
criminal code subjects to punishment those
having care of a child, who "willfully" cause
or permit the life or health of the child to
be endangered, but where there is faith in
the efficacy OF the faith cure, says the at
torney general, there is obviously no de-
sign or intention to injure the child. This
is a matter which seems likely to trouble the
courts not a little all over the country.

IN THE EVENT OF WAR.

The latest advices regarding the
Transvaal situation are extremely war
like and while some new developments
in the negotiations are possible the in
dications are very strong that hostilities
cannot be averted. The Boer govern
ment, II appears, has determined to
stand firmly on its latest proposals. The
British government Is expected to make
its reply within the mex few days, per-
haps tomorrow, and it is believed that
it will reject the Boer terms. Mean
while warlike feeling in the Transvaal
has become intense and there is said to
be a tremendous pressure Upon the gov
eminent in favor of declaring war.
Preparations for hostilities are being
steadily pushed by both governments.
1t is announced that the Orange Free
State will support the Transvaal repub-
lie and that 1t will be aided by the
Afrikanders throughout South Africa.
In that case a formidable force can be
marshaled to resist British invasion.
Estimates differ as to the number Of
Nv hNdlluDlts IdDBluB lIOlu tO,pOO "
10000. Probably an army of at least
10000 can be raised and as the Beers
and their allies are among the most in
trepid and stubborn fighters in the
world, Great Britain will need an army
at least one-third greater than theirs
to conquer, since the country to be in
vaded Is strongly fortified. There Is one
factor in the situation, however, which
may operate against the Beers. This is
the possibility of a native uprising.
There are over 100000 natives in the
Transvaal, 10000 in the Orange Free
State and 10000 in Swaziland, a total
of $4,000, of whom at least 10000 are
~able-bodied men and who it is said
hate the Beers to the death. A portion
of the Boer army, therefore, would have
to be employed in preventing an upris-
ing Of these natives. However, this
may be a less important factor than the
English papers would make it appear
and it is quite probable that it is one
the Beers have fully reckoned with.
1t is believed that in arms the Beers
may have the advantage, for undoubt-
edly they have the best o%btainable,
both of rifles and field guns and they
know how to use them. They also I'M
doubtedly have Il supply of the NUM-
lions of war sufficient to carry on hos
tilities for many months, for they have
been accommodating for a long time.
England now has a considerable force
in South Africa and more troops are on
their way, but it is doubtful whether the
army in Natal is at present strong
enough to repel a formidable invasion.
OF course England can send into South
Africa any number Of troops that may
be needed and If war m it will be
prosecuted with tremendous vigor and
will end, it is safe to predict, in COM
plete British domination of that
region.

Among the numerous distractions that

Among the numerous distractions that
beset a popular president of a great ma
ton, the demands upon his time by ar
fists, sculptors and photographers are
not to be overlooked. Complaint comes
from Washington that President McKin-
ley, between sitting for busts and por-
traits, has little opportunity to attend
to public business much less for his
own recreation and that, too, although
he persistently declines all such requests
except where made in the name of some
society or organization Of a public ma
ture. The president of the United States
is, of course, a public parsonage and he
cannot escape the publicity of the posi-
ton, yet at the same time the public
would unquestionably sustain him in
shutting down still more OF the picture
and sculpture nuisance. While we pride
ourselves in the democratic character Of
our government in this matter there is
no necessity of going to such extremes.

Who are the mischief makers who are re-

designs on Central and South American ter
ritory?
To a people familiar with American his
tory the reports would have carried their
own refutation up to the time Of our inter-
vention in the Cuban struggle for indie
pendence, but the foreign complications
resulting from the Spanish war have I'M
doubtedly helped to foster the suspicious
which our Latin American neighbors have
harbored to a greater or less extent ever
since the meeting OF the Pan-American con-
gress in Washington during President Har-
rison's administration

growing distrust OF the United States
throughout the republics 10 the south OF US,
and 1t must be admitted that certain ten
denotes manifested by our government and
people within the past few months are not
likely to remove our neighbors' suspicious.
The jealousy OF European capitalists who
have long controlled the South American
trade and who resent the growth OF Ameri-

for part of this distrust, but to assume that
their subsidized papers can influence gov

eral occasions TO send punitive expeditions
to Latin American ports. but the resentment
arising therefrom does not seem to have been

The news OF the latest manifestation or

way OF Mexico and seems to have no specific
cause or source. 1t is probably due TO a not
unnatural jealousy OF a big and powerful

Senator Clark Of Montana said in a
recent interview, referring to. the sug-
gestion that congress should withdraw
participation Of the United States gov
eminent in the Paris exposition, that
whatever might be the course of indi-
vidual exhibitors there will be no gov
ernmental action and certainly congress
will not withdraw American participa-
ton. Speaking of the same matter a
representative of the American commits
sioner to the exposition said that our
government has gone too far to con
slider withdrawal now. 1t has appro-
priated $1,2OO,0O0 for the exhibit, the
expenses Of the commission and space.
The government building is under way
and a good share of the money neces-
sary for its erection has already been
paid. Besides, it was urged, the COM
mercial side of the exhibit is too i'm
portant to permit of withdrawal now.
Thus far, it appears, American ex-
hibitors have shown no disposition to
give up the space they have agreed to
take at the exposition, as has been done
to a considerable extent by Europeans,
and the impression Of the American
commissioner is that all the space al
lotted to this country will be occupied.
At all events, there "a be no doubt that
congress will take no action in the
matter. The government has entered
into an obligation to be repre-
sented at the Paris exposition from
impairing the friendly relations sub
sisting between France and the United
States. Such action on the part
of this government would inevitably
cause an intense feeling Of resentment
and create an enmity which it would
require years to overcome, If indeed it
could ever be wholly removed. Every
sober-minded person can understand
that to do this would be a most grave
mistake, leaving entirely out of view
the commercial consideration.
The American people feel as great
indignation as those of any other coun-
try at the outrage upon justice of the
Dreyfus verdict. This feeling has al
ready been most vigorously voiced by
the press and will doubtless find further
expression in public meetings. But as
we have heretofore pointed out, the
matter is not one respecting which the
government can with propriety take any
notice or action. 1t belongs wholly to
the internal administration of France
and that country would rightly regard
as an unfriendly act of the most often
sive nature any reference to 1t on the
part of our government. So far as the
public is concerned 1t may express itself
without restriction and the French gov
eminent and people are well aware of
what the feeling Is here. But this is
a very different matter from expression
people learned during the war with
| Spain when the masses of the French
people freely and often extensively man
ifested their sympathy with the Span
ish, while the government maintained
an attitude OF strict neutrality and
friendliness.

has entered into to participate in the
