President Palma and the Protestants.

The Cuban papers give currency to a
report of an interview recently given
by President PALMA at Jiguani, in SAINT
iago Province. Among other things
Mr.. PALMA is reported to have said APP
pears the following:
Cuba is q Catholic country and should take steps
to avoid the advent of Protrstan.s.'
We feel entirely confident that Mr..
PALMA has been misquoted, and we hold
that position for two reasons. One is
that it is an inconsistent attitude for the
Cuban President. Nothing in his previous
record or words has marked him as either
religious bigot or a strong sectarian
partisan. Even if he was such parti-
san, Mr.. PALMA knows very we'll that n
remark of that kind would carry no
small offence to the millions OF Protes-
tants Of America, and he has every
possible reason to avoid doing or saying
anything which could give such offence
to people of the United States. 1t must
be borne in mind that there are many in
Cuba who privately and even publicly
charge their President with an undue
desire to defer to American opinion in
all matters
The other reason for doubt OF the
accuracy of this report lies in the fact
that the remark attributed to President
PALMA is fatty contrary to the Cuban
Constitution. Article XIV, section 4, OF
that instrument declares that the pro-
fession of all forms of religion and the
exercise of all forms of worship are free,
with no limitation save that demanded
by respect for Christian morality and
public order. 1t lays down the principle
that the Church shall be separate from
the State, which, by such separation,
shall have no power OF subvention in
any case or to any sect,
While this measure was vigorously
fought by one or two delegates in the
constitutional convention, it was car
ried by large majority. 1t may there
fore be taken as indicative OF the senti-
ment and attitude of the Cuban leaders
That Mr.. PALMA, AZ further indicated
by the reported interview, may have ex-
pressed regret that SO many Of Cuba's
rural areas are without priests for tho
performance of the marriage ceremony
with religious rites, that religious indif-
ference prevails in such areas and that
there is an absence of religious influence
in public schools is entirely probable.

The Grssk Catholic Church.

TO THE EDITOR or THE Sun Str; As member OF
the Greek Catholic Church which is In grace and
communion with the Apostolic See, let me add Q
few facts TO the interesting ester OF Mr.. Locke.
We have congregations scattered throughout
the United States which. while nrmly agreeing
with the Roman Church In doctrine, retain all
our primitive rites and ceremonies. Our parochIal
clergy are as rule married men, the discipline IN
this respect agreeing with that Of the solsmasio
Russian Chnrch; the laity communicate under
both forms OF bread and wine: leavencd bread "
used In tho rreparat'on Of the Eucharist: baptLsr,
" given by immersion. aud In the mass the old

\ Diocesan Convention To-day

The meeting to-day Of the Diocesan
Convention Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in New York will be made inter-
esting by the discussion of the question
of providing assistance for Bishop PoT-
TER in the administration of the diocese
and in discharging the spiritual functions
of his office. The direction such discus
sion is to take will be indicated by the
sentiment on the general subject which
may be expressed by the Bishop in his
address to the convention.
Next to the Roman Catholic, the Epis-
copal Church Is numerically the strongest
in New York, and without injustice it may
be said to exercise here the most power
full influence, social and religious, of any
religious communion other than that at
the head of which is Archbishop FARLEY.
The number Of communicates in the
Episcopal Church affords by no means
n measure Of its strength and influence,
for at this time its service attracts and
holds worshippers from all the Protestant
Churches who are not directly affiliated
with it, not having been confirmed
in its membership. This large outside
element in the attendance on It's churches
is made manifest when the congregation
is called to Communion, for usually a
majority Of those present withdraw.
Except the Roman Catholic, the Epis-
copal is also the best organized Church
in New York, not merely enthusiastically,
but also in its charitable and philan-
thropic enterprises. It's parish system
is not carried out so perfectly as in the
Roman Catholic Church, nor is it as much
regarded by the adherents. Instead Of
going for their devotions to the church Of
their own parish or neighborhood, many
Episcopalians pass far beyond 10 seek
some other because Of interest in q
special clergyman or attachment TO
a special church. The roll of men,
bership of st, Georges, for example,
includes hundreds from outside the
boundaries Of its special parish, from
miles away, even from other borougbs

SOCIAL ECONOMISTS BAcK.
DR.. Tolman Says They Have Gained Much
valuable Information in Europe.

DR.. ". H. Tolman, director Of the Ameri-
can Institute of Social Service, arrived
Yesterday on the steamship Rotterdam Of
the Holland-America Line. DR.. Tolman
headed the expedition commissioned for
the institute by Miss Helen Miller Gould.
that since last spring has been making a
tour OF the cities of the old world in a search
for the good 1t has been his mission to
obtain first hand information regarding
the social economy of Europe. This has
resulted In the accumulation Of much velr-
able information which will be inssaned
in tho institute.
Since last spring we have searched
France, Italy, Holland, Belgium, England.
Scotland and Ireland said DR.. Tolman-
an Italy we found cooperation the great
movement. The cooperative societies there
have handled over $4,000 900 francs, using
this vast sum in cooperative movements.
there are two great movements in Eng

The Case Of Foreman Miller.

Whether Foreman MILLER retains his
position in the Government Printing
Office or is discharged on the ground OF
moral turpitude," one important end
appears to have been served by the Miller
incident. That lies in the reported pur-
pose to put our public printing on new
and more economical basis.
That establishment is run at total
annual cost which probably exceeds
rather than falls below TO00,OOO. The
reported figures are somewhat below
that amount, but it is doubtful il they
include all that is properly chargeable
TO such an establishment. While exact
figures are not given to the public, il they
are even known at all, it may be said that
a conviction prevails in the various de-
partments whose printing ia done in the
national establishment that the work
could and would be done by private
establishments for a general average OF
about 30 per cent. less than its cost in the
Government office. Should that or any
thing like that be the fact, it means that
from 81, 500 900 to s., 0OO, 900 year is now
made a needless charge upon the public
for the maintenance Of an establishment
which is admittedly out Of date in it's
equipment and is apparently operated
according to the rules of labor unionism
rather than according to the rules OF
commercial establishment run in the
interests of its proprietors-the general
public.
Should it prove that Foreman MILLER
has been instrumental in effeoting this
much needed reform and very consid-
cradle economy, it might well be in order
to recompense him by giving him place
where his differences with his union
would be OF no consideration, and where
his alleged but improved moral turpi-
tude" would not interfere with his eff
cheney as a public servant. If he can
reduce the cost of public printing. he
might be put in charge Of the depart
ment. If that would not do, he might
be made a Ma or-G General in the army.
At all events, it is interesting to learn
that q commission has been appointed
ito revise the list Of charges, 80 that
all cause of complaint in respect to Gov
eminent work in the Office will be OBJ
Waited If this is really done, the peo-
pie of the United States will stand to
save a million or TWO million dollars a
year on their printing bill.

Of the town. This tendency results In
great strength for some churches and
actual, or at least comparative, feeble
ness for others, even some in populous
neighborhoods.
Another noticeable feature Of the de-
velopment Of the Episcopal Church in
New York since the period of Bishop
PoTTER's elevation to the episcopal
bench, in 1883, has been the steady and
great growth Of the High Church" party
in the diocese. We suppose that the
Bishop himself may be olassed with the
Broad" or liberal, party, tho party Of the
New Theology but that very liberality
seems to have been exhibited by him in
giving free course to the school whose
doctrines and usages have given it the
title Of -Ritualistic." In the philosophio
view OF the Broad churchman, this
tendency to appropriate Roman doctrine
and ritual Is only an expression Of q
oommendable depth and sincerity Of
religious conviction with which it is
both policy and religious duty not to
interfere. And, undoubtedly, DR.. CHRIS
TAN Of st. Mary the Virgins is clergy
man Of the Episcopal Church in as good
and as assured standing as the lowest Of
the Low rectors. When the English
rector from Hitchin called on Bishop
POTTER to interfere with the "Popish'
teachings and ceremonies Of the extreme
Ritualists Of the diocese he was sharply
rebuked for his impertinence and prac-
tically told to mind his own business.
If he undertook to disturb the services
to which he objected, Bishop PoTTER's
advice was that he be turned over to tho
police as violator of the public order.
Under Bishop PorTER's administra-
ton Of the diocese, therefore, Ritualism
has hourished. though we question if its
feeling toward him is not critical rather
than grateful. 1t may not be that DR..
CHRISTIAN will be proposed as Co.
adjutor Bishop, and it is altogether i'm
probable that he would be elected even
II he was put up as candidate: but that
he typifes in his 'Anglo-Catholicity'
perhaps the most earnest and most ag-
gressive sentiment among the New York
clergy is unquestionable. At any rate,
the dominant clerical sentiment is now
High Church to degree which would
have provoked bitter opposition at the
time Of Bishop PoTTER's elevation to
the episcopal bench only twenty years
ago. A clergyman, writing in THE SUN
to-day, significantly commends one Of
the rectors of New York for election as
Coadjutor on the ground that he has
given a more ritualistic character to the
services Of Low" church, to the pas
torship of which he succeeded, following
a brother OF the late Bishop PHILLIPS
BROOKS Of Massachusetts.
1t may be assumed, therefore. that the
Diocesan Convention which begins its
meeting to-day at the Church Of the
Heavenly Rest in Fifth avenue will be
free from disputation and harmonious
in the conclusions it reaches.
