Archbishop ChapeIIe's Task Completed

Archbishop Chapelle has sailed from Ma
Mia for Rome to report in the matter of
Roman Catholic interests in the Philip
pines. His Investigations have covered
period Of nearly two years. What his con-
cIusiOns may be remains to be seem He
has on several occasions been quoted in
the newspapers on some of the points in
controversy, but he denied last winter the
accuracy of all such deliverances. Quite
recently. however, a statement was attrib-
uted to him on the subject of American
priests for the Philippines which seemed
so likely that The Star last week made
some comment on It,
In this statement Archbishop Chapeile
proposed a cooperation in the work of his
church in the Philippines between Ameri-
can priests and the Spanish friars. He as
sured the former a warm welcome on the
part of the latter. Arguing from this. and
from a previous statement ascribed to the
archbishop Of a tenor indicating his cham
pionship of the friars. The Star expressed
the opinion that while American priests

pines the less they had to do with the friars
The better The Star reiterates that opin-
ion now. and hopes the church authorities
at Rome may see their way clear to a

field OF those who have brought so much
reproach upon the cloth and so much diff
ficulty to everybody in interest.
In the Philippines is to be observed the
worst possible example Of a union of
church and state The friars were in
formally invested with civil authority. and
they made very bad and very selfish
use of it. They enriched themselves at
the expense of the people. and became thor
oushIy and cordially hated by the people.
They are accused of being the corrupters
of the people. In the United States are to

he goes about his business in order, and
he builds UP his church in the affections

globe
1t is evident. therefore. that the American

The appointment of John G.. Capers to be
district attorney for the district of South
Carolina is of unusual interest because
something out of the ordinary is expected
from it. 1t denotes. in addition to the Sc
lection of competent man of fine charac-
ter and extraction for responsible office,
an overture by the President to southern
men who have long affiliated with the
democracy, but who. now that republican
issues appeal so strongly to the south, are
represented as anxious to ally themselves
in politics for the souths material gain.
Are they numerous? Have they the cour-
age of their convictions? Will they re-
spohd in way to build up an opposition
party in section of the country where a
political despotism has reigned for a quar-
ter of century?
Mr.. Mckinley is not the first republican
President to make this move. General
Grant made it in the case of General Long
street, and much good was expected from
that appointment. When Lees right
arm" and a truly great soldier, struck
hands with the hero of Appomattox there
was feeling that republicanism would
gain a foothoId in the south General
Grant sincerely wished it, and was dis
posed to assist its growth in every way
But he was disappointed. The calculation
failed completely, and General Longstreet's
position became one of isolation and en-
barrassment. Strong and attractive man
as he was, he could not bring his people
around to his views of national questions.
and Georgia has remained in the demo-
cratic column.
Mr.. Hayes. in like spirit, called David
NJ. Key of Tennessee to a seat at the cab
met table. Mr.. Key was an eX-confeder-
ate and an able man. His standing was
very high at home. There was hope that
the recognition of such man by repub-
lican President would have a good effect
throughout the-south and mitigate the
fierceness of partisan warfare down
there. But this hope was disappointed.
Republicanism gained nothing from it, and
just before his term as Postmaster Gen.
eral expired Mr. Key was transferred to
the federal bench, and spent the remainder
of his life outside the field of politics.
Next followed the case of General Ma
hone in Virginia. That was a stirring
struggle, and for a time the democracy Of
| that state was down and seriously divided.
General Malone was a capable politician
and a man OF business He went over to
| the republicans by the way Of the read
| Justers, but once he became q republican
he accepted that party's fun platform, and
| worked energetically to establish the party
| securely in control of the state. But he

failed. He was in the end overthrown, and
suffered as severely as General Longstreet
in Georgia had before him. AS matters
stand, Virginia couldn't be taken out Of
the democratic column with the aid Of a
derrick. The n1ajorities for state officers
or for presidential electors are anything
the party managers may desire. The polls
are opened, and the rest is easy.
The trial now Is to be in South Carolina.
The appointment of Mr.. Capers is the work
of Senator McLaurin, who is coming up
for reelection, with record of having
voted for the confirmation Of the Paris
treaty. for the. increase of the army, and
of having spoken for the ship subsidy bill
He has until now been democrat, but he
supports republican measures at this time
because, as seems to him, they best ad-
vance the interests of the south and of the
whole country. The mere tag Of party Is
OF small consequence to him In comparison
with what is to be wrought for his section
by policies which make for development
and prosperity. He Is a clean and able
man, with courage, but how large his fol-
lowing may be at home on this new line
is yet to be determined. He deserves sue
cess.

These are anxious days for the rulers OF
Japan. the emperor, Ito. the statesman and

Ever since Russia. backed by France and

bitter resentment. and for the purpose of
retaliation and seIf-defense has been build

Economy in Signatures.


One of the first fraternal suggestions
made to Mr.. Philander Chase Knox when
he became member of the Presidents Of
fcial family was that he would find it con-
tributory to his peace Of mind if he We're
to abbreviate his signature into plain 'P
c. Knox" that the exigencies of the office
of the chief legal adviser to the executive
would demand physical economy in the in
terest of saving time The Secretary Of
War, whose cognomen never had engaged
in an alphabetical waste, found it to his
advantage long since to dispense with YER
bal extravaganza, and all documents ap-
pertaining to his department bear the cold
and almost unrecognizable "E. Root" The
Postmaster General also has exploited his
full-length Identification, but by eliminating
the first section he manages still to locate
himself to those addressed, even though he
must employ the universal surname Of
Smith. So, after all, it is an indisputable
fact that the real patriot must lose much
that is cherished in his endeavor to sustain
the dignity of the nation. In this connec-
tion it would be interesting to know how
the new Italian ambassador to the United
States would curtail his name in the event
of pressing necessity. The abridgment Of

PlayactinE in Cuba.

The Cubans, or some of them, may say
that they want to be left entirely to their

they will secure that support through the

What they are engaged in doing just now
Is in playing a little comedy for the edifi-

the comedy is over they will get right down

What a Daub of Ink Did

A certain newspaper proprietor had a
way of appearing In the composing room
and press rooms at the most unexpected
times, and as his visits often resulted In a
general 'shake up" OF the working forces
Of the paper, they were awaited with fear
and trembling by employees.
One time one of the pressmen, an ex-
cellent workman, who had been there
many years, but was sometimes guilty OF
lapse Of sobriety, had black eye, and
was in quandary as to what excuse he
should offer II the proprietor noticed 1t.
By sudden inspiration he seized an ink
roller and daubed acme ink on his face,
quite covering the discoloration. Pres
emily the governor came In and, with the
foreman, went through the room COM
menting on every detail, and looking
very sharply at every workman. When
about to leave he suddenly pointed to the
inky pressman and said: "What is that
mans manner"
The man 7uaked in his shoes, until he
continued, slowly: 81 want you to give
that man five shilling week more wages.
He is the only man in the room who
looks as IL he had been working"
