Church and State.

The season is midsummer. There is
something doing in the world. but not
enough. The sum of it must be increased
in some way. and exaggeration is easy.
Hence the distorted accounts in circulation
about the negotiations at Rome. Both sides
are made TO suffer.
The public is asked to believe on the one
hand that Rome is trif1ing with us; that
the question of the Spanish friars is not
being considered upon it's merits; that the
Vatican is endeavoring TO force the United
States into establishing diplomatic relations
with the pope: that the question of the
successor to Leo XIII is operating, and
tha- the religious orders. strong at Rome,
are playing upon the ambitions of the can
diiates for the papacy. This sort of talk.
although It comes from Rome, cannot orig
mate with the friends of the Roman Cath
ole Church.
on the other hand the public is told that
the United States government is making
the question of the Spanish friars a pretext
for forwarding a Protestant propaganda in
the Philippines; that proselytizing Is in
progress through the medium of the public
schools in the archipelago. and American
Catholics are adjured to their influence
to call halt on the whole proceeding. On
Sunday night a meeting was held at Grand
Rapids. Michigan, and the following reso-
lUtions were adopted:
Whereas the friars, as a class. are I'M
justly maligned and are even threatened
with expulsion and the Spoliation of their
property; therefore, be IL
Resolved, That we, the bishop, clergy
and Catholics of the city of Grand Rapids.
Mich. as citizens of the United States. pro-
test against all the wrong and unjust acts
perpetrated against our fellow-Catholics in
the Philippines
That We appreciate the efforts of Secre-
tary Root to investigate and remedy the
evils complained Of"
Now this Tnisconceives and consequently
mistakes. the case. What is being proposed
az Rome by this government is at the
urgent request of the Catholics in the
Philippines'-the Catholics who are to re-
main there and share in the fruits of the
AmericanizajiOn of the archipelago. The
Spanish friars are discredited not as the
result of American charges, but as the re-
suit of Filipino charges. Their religion
does not enter into the calculation The
Filipinos expect and demand new pastors
o. the same communion and the American
government expects to see the field at an
early day titled in the main by priests of
American training and prediction. There
Is II war whatever by this government on
Roman Catholics in the Philippines or any
where else. Under no flag that flies is re-
iiEi'uS tolerance or religious progress
greater than under the stars and stripes.
II IS scarcely necessary to say that the
negotiations at Rome as presented in the
American clss have the Endorsement and
sympathy of many leading American Cath
5!ics who recognize in their government.

The CampanIe.

The fall of the Campanile at Venice
brings 70 a point the reflection that this
country is very young indeed when COM
pared with the old world There stood a
tower erected more than a thousand years
ago. conspicuous during that great period as
one OF the worlds notable monuments Our
chfef veterans of architecture are all the
yeriest youngsters mere infants, indeed by
contrast We point to them not for their
age but for their size or their cost OF
their beauty The Campanile had all four
qualifications however. to commend it to
the attention of the observer 1t had cast
It's shadow upon events that shook the
world. 1t sheltered men whose names were
powers for good or evil-principally evil
while they lived. 1t witnessed transitions
OF great forces. the rise and fall of nations
1t was in a way the watch-tower of a civ
iiizatloH running its gamut of access and
decrease.
But old rs was the Campanile when con-
trasted with u trUctures of the western
world. 1t was itself babe when compared
with monuments looming skyward Just
across the Mediterranean. The Egyptian
pyramids are standing while the Campanile
has fallen beneath its own weight, crushed
BY time. The Egyptians buiIded better than
the NvnetiaEs- They solved the problem IF
longevity for taeir works by following the
simplest NJ natures laws, contenting them
selves with mass rather than height and
placing the largest dimensions upon the
ground.

Mr.. Whitney. Let them pass 1t. 1t will
make no difference. Mr.. Cleveland Is his
own platform No serious effort was made
to offset Mr.. Watterson's brilliant rhetoric.
and In consequence the substitute IVES
passed, and subsequently repudiated by Mr..
Cleveland"
AS the editor of the Register was a dele
gate in that convention he doubtless speaks
from personal knowledge. Could Mr.. Wat
terson ask for a better witness? Does not
the New Haven journalist concede and
strengthen the whole case? According to his
own account. the convention was with Mr..
Watterson. 1t desired the substitute plat
form presented by him. This was SO plain
that Mr.. Whitney, who was in charge of
the Cleveland forces on the floor, advised
against resistance. Let 1t go through, he
said. Mr.. Cleveland is his own platform"
And this proved to be true. Mr.. Cleveland
repudiated the platform of the convention,
became the platform himself and was
elected. And yet when Congress took up
the question of tariff revision, and demo-
Gratis of the stamp of Mr.. German, headed
by MIR. German, showed and expressed con-
tempt for the platform upon which. the
Wattersonians insisted, the party had been
returned to power. Mr.. Cleveland took the
highest ground about keeping faith with
the people, and IN personal letter deliv
cred lecture about perfidy and dishonor.
The democratic campaign of 1892 resolved
itself after a beginning of high pretensions
into mere scramble for the Offices The
offices were secured, but at an appalling ex-
pense TO the country. There was bitter dis
senson from the day Mr.. Cleveland re-en-
tered the White House. and the democratic
party was disrupted. Those men therefore
who are now laboring, as Mr.. Watterson
is, to secure a platform for 1904 which shall
mean what it says, and be binding on the
candidate standing upon it, are performing
not only good partisan but a public SER
vice. The candidate who is platform in
himself is always a failure in office. The
President of the United States should rep
resent the great body of the people, and
not merely himself

means of outlet toward the Atlantic by
means of what the Canadians call porta ges.
The trails to the Pacific are infrequent and
difficult, but large quantities of rubber are
exported from Acre by this means. 1t is
this product which causes the present diff
hculty. The Bolivian government has
leased large area within the Acre region
to a German-American syndicate under
terms which will permit the establishment
of virtual sovereignty over state nearly
as large as Texas. Under right conditions
OF management with transportation provid-
ed through the expenditure of large capital
this territory will become immensely profit
able Since the PRONUNCIATION of the lease
both Brazil and Peru have awakened to the
fact that there is value in sight and in dam
ger of being grasped by others and they
have blown the dust from certain old claims
to this territory. The history of the con-
troversy is somewhat cloudy and there are
mysterious references to the movement of
boundary stones in a manner to shift sew
eral million acres Of territory from one SOW
ereignty to another. The ordinary boun-
DAIRY dispute between two rival claimants
are involved the position of the arbitrator
is not to be envied. Yet the State Depart
ment has willingly undertaken the role of
intermediary. which may later be expanded
into that of umpire should the conflicting
governments so desire. There is some dam
ger of a clash at arms between Brazil and
Bolivia and for this reason the good offices
of the United States are urgently sought
by the latter government which is notori-
ously weak in comparison with it's neigh

Minister WI.
2 New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
The retirement of Mr.. WI Ting Fang
from the Chinese ministry at Washington
will meet with the unfeigred regret of the
whole country. Mr.. WI is highly popular
everywhere he goes. He has been pre-emi-
nently the speechmaking diplomat of
Washington, and his personality is proba-
bly, better known to the American people
than that of any other member of the
corps. Something of this is doubtless due
to difference in race, dress and manners
and the wonder created by celestial in
long queue and flowing robes speaking
fluent English with unlocked for clever
ness and humOr. Doubtless Mr.. WI was
able to speak his mind more freely on this
account. He said and did things which no
conventional European diplomatist would
have thought quite safe. He dared to lee
ture us, even make fun of us-a most dan
gerous proceeding with a people as pecu-
liariy sensitive to foreign criticism as
Americans have been said to be ever since
the time of Basil Hall. But we have taken
Ii good naturally, have been ALWAYS

William and Mary,

William gazed on Mary Jane;
Longed to tell her that her eyes
Shone like sunlit drops of rain
Failing from enchanted skies
But poor William, scant of nerve,
Sought in vain these things to say;
Merely managed to observe.
1T is rather warm today"
Mary Jane will ne'er suspect
What a wealth of sentiment
Flourishing, despite neglect.
In that trite remark was pent.
Vows as steadfast as the pole,
Though as tender as the May,
He is uttering from his soul,
When he says Its warm today"
William tries and tries again;
Baffied in his eloQuence;
Weary quite is Mary Jane
or ridiculous suspense.
But each time, just as of yore,
All his wits grow dark and dim.
William feels that he's bore.
Mary quite agrees with him.

and every member should go. But if any of them have never been in the southwest they should avoid forming q wrong impression from the arid con dition of the country To one not in- formed in regard to the fertility of its soil under irrigation and it's wealth in iron, coal and precious metals, the arid region at first looks unable tO support a large population. But fuller infor- nation reveals the country.
 Statistics ot population, industrial production and natural wealth are the chief matters to consider, and of these there is abundant evidence that all three of the territories named are fully entitled to statehood. They are able tC erect governments of that kind. They are also qualified to govern themselves, maintaining order and ad- vancing in step with the existing mem- bers of the union. To deny statehood to these territories is to violate a fun damental principle Of the American union. for the right Of the people to govern themselves is the cornerstone O. American liberty.
 The people of the territories should be prepared to receive the members of the committee and supply them with full Information in regard to all mat ters bearing upon the question of ad- mission. They should get ready at once to do this, SO that there may be no delay in the prosecution of the case Of each territory when the committee arrives.-Denver Republican.
