wan Restore Church Property.

Acting with hearty agreement with the
desires of the president, Secretary Root
has taken a firm stand in respect to the
claims of the Catholic church growing out
Of the seizure. use and destruction Of its
Philippines.
Secretary Root takes the position that.
whether or not the constitution of the
United States applies. in all Of its provi-
sions, to the new possessions, there can
be no question that its guarantees must DO
observed inasmuch as all OF our officials
are solemnly sworn to enforce It. He,
therefore, believes that property, both real
and personal, can only be taken from the
church by the United States after due
process OF law. This does not, OF course,
apply to the insurgents. IT does however,
have full force so far as the church prop
erty is concerned, and, therefore. the adj
ministration will really cooperate with
DIR. Rodriguez TO secure the return of the
property which has been seized, requiring
only that the church shall establish its
title. Wherever 1t happens that the United
States forces are occupying church prop
erty. damages will be paid, and, should
the government ds-,ze to retain possession,

Mclean and the Garfield Law.

1t will be a matter of no little inter-
est to the people of Ohio should John
r. Mclean, the Democratic nominee
for governor, inform them how he pro-
poses to comply with the provisions OF
the Garfield law, designed to prevent
corrupt practices in elections.
Under the Garfield law, Mr. Mclean
cannot expend to exceed $3.50 altogeth-
er in his canvass for the nomination
and his subsequent campaign. Ac-
cording to the sworn statement of the
Democratic boss, the nomination cost
him $500. That leaves him but $3.50
which can be legally expended during
the campaign. He has already con-
tracted to pay in aid of his candidacy
$2500 for the transportation of the
Fourth regiment to New York. The
McLeanites may try to hedge all they
please on this point, but it is a fact
nevertheless, that the Democratic boss
was inspired wholly by a desire to fur
ther his political interests in assum-
ing this obligation. Had he not been
candidate for governor, he would
not have offered to pay the expenses of
the Fourth Ohio or any other regiment
to New York.
Assuming that Mclean has not made
any other expenditures for the cam
paign, he has already exceeded the
limitations under the Garfield law by
almost $25OO. 1t is a pertinent ques-
ton, therefore, how the Democratic
boss is going to make out his return
under the corrupt practice act. How
is he going to account for the large
sums which Lewie Bernard says he is
willing to eXpend in an effort to secure
= election to the governorship? Such
immense amounts could not be raised
by assessments upon Democratic office
holders. They cannot come from the
Democratic National Committee, since
Mr.. Bryan and his friends have said
that no part of the committees funds
shall be used in the campaign in Ohio
this fail. The Democratic heelers of
the state are looking to Mr.. Mclean
