Church Philippine Appointments.

In appointing Bishop Montgomery OF
California archbishop of Manila, and DR..
Rocker of this city bishop of the see of
Nueva Caceres, Philippine Islands. the
pope moves on lines of considerable Inter-
est to this country. Both prelates are
American -born-the one is native OF
Kentucky. and the other of New York
and both have had large experience IN
the affairs of their church in the United
States. Both are comparatively young
men. Bishop Montgomery. Is trtf1e past
fifty and DR.. Rocker forty-two. Both may
be reckoned good therefore for many
years of service in their new posts. Both
will carry to those important posts an ac-
curate knowledge of conditions where
church and state are kept separate. and
where, as one Of the results Of that policy,
both church and state prosper And OF
course we may expect them to apply IN
their new posts the knowledge they have
acquired as prelates in the management OF
church affairs here in the land Of their
birth and training.
The dispatches, for some months. have
brought US little about the negotiations In
progress in the Philippines over the ques-
ton of the holdings of the Spanish friars.
But we may assume that in this case, as
the negotiations ARE making progress.
They are in good hands. Gov. Taft pos
sesses diplomatic as well as executive. tai
ents. and the special representative of the
Church of Rome associated with him in
the work was selected after much cOnsid-
Grafton had been given to the subject at
the Vatican. An early completion OF the
business was not expected at the time ne
gotiations were begun.
1t will be after these holdings have been
acquired by the United States, and the last
vestige of the old Spanish regime In the
islands has disappeared. that the full OPP
portunity OF these and other American
churchmen will come. The field will be
free then for all religious communions.
Catholics and Protestants. as at home here.
will be able to prosecute all legitimate re-
ligious work without molestation by the
state. or temptations from the state to
perform any outside work, or from any
unwise or irregular alliances. The Spanish
government was injured the Church of
Rome was injured. and the Philippine
Islands were injured, by the arrangement
in Spanish days. when the state ruled
through the clergy. and the clergy, in
many cases. surrendered to the tempta-
tons and rewards of almost unlimited
power. All of that is ended. and, happily
for everybody in interest, 1t can never be
renewed under American control

The Dreyfus Affair Again.

Yesterdays proceedings in the French
chamber Of deputies practically insure
that the Dreyfus case will be reopened.
When the unfortunate officer was convict
ed a second time and then pardoned many
people thought the end had come and that
the case would never again become the oc-
casion for agitation. The late Emile lola
was not one of these. and to the end OF his
days he stood for full revision. despite the
fact that mainly by his efforts Dreyfus had
been liberated from his prison. The last
novel which came from his pen was
scathing arraignment of the prosecutors OF
Dreyfus and 1t was expected that the next
one, which was to have been begun the
day Of his death. would. in completing
great series of four novels. continue the
agitation for revision. lola took his
ground upon the sentiment uttered by Abra-
ham Lincoln with regard to slavery, that
question is never settled until 1t is settled
right
Since Zola's death the Dreyfus party has
seemed to lack persistent leader. but of
late M. Jaures, head Of the socialist party
in parliament. has taken a commanding
position with regard to revision. and yester-
day he scored in the chamber in a manner
to leave little doubt that the government
deed. when M. Jaures had concluded a
speech of scathing denunciation. punctuat-
ed by sensational disclosures. Gen. Andre.
the minister of war. assembled the tribune
practically to pledge the government to
thorough revision Of the case.
The most significant Of NJ. Jaures' dis
closures Is that in 1898 General Pellieux
wrote to NJ. Cavaignac, then war minister,
asking to be retired, in the following terms:
'Duped by men without honor unable
any longer to count on the confidence OF
my subordinates without which it is impos-
sible to command. and on my side being
unable to feel confidence in those Of my
chiefs who have made me work with for
gerieS, ask to be retired.
This letter was suppressed. and upon its
publication yesterday in debate M. Cavaig-
nae, who is a member of the chamber, at
tempted to explain his action in 1898. Ac-
cording to the cabled reports his speech
was far from satisfactory. consisting
chiefly in violent denunciationS of both the
government and the socialists. and leading
to the degeneration of the session into a
general row.
The friends Of Dreyfus must take heart
from yesterdays proceedings. The attitude
of the government is apparently fair and
the anti-revisiOnists are now in a minority.
They were threatened with shameful dis
closures in consequence of the proceedings
against the notorious Humbert family, but
thus far the inquiry into the alleged frauds
committed by the Humberts has not dis
closed anything which seriously reflects
upon the prosecutors of Dreyfus. revi
sion will naturally occasion a tremendous
disturbance and lead perhaps to some rad
ical political changes but it is evident that
until the whole truth has been told, the
forgeries exposed. the lies scotched and the
whole criminal conspiracy laid bare, France
will not find domestic peace.

A Suggestion to Science.


OF medicine I've took my share;

Fur the expense so long as
Obtained as good as cash could buy.
I've took the very best that is
Fur headaches. chills an rheumatic;
But nothin' hits the spot fur me
Like Granny Sanders ole yarb tea.
She used to make it years ago,
An when she left this vale of woe
She plunged the neighborhood in gloom
An took her secret to the tomb.
The doctors used to sniff an say
1t warn't much good any way.
But nothin' cured us up. you see,
Like Granny Sanders ole yarb tea.
OF course they 'sperimented round.
But the receipt was never found.
They took the products of the soil,
From jimson weed to penny roy'l.
An stewed EN- up an mixed EN- in,
But the result was mighty thin.
1t warn't the equal, no, Stree.
OF Granny Sanders ole yarb tea,
About lost arts I've often read,
An frequently I've heard 1t said
That modern science is Outclassed
BY things that flourished in the past.
While they are searchin' high an low,
I wonder II them people know
The cryin' need there seems to be

MI. Cleveland and the Race Questio

Says the Kansas City Journal:
Mr.. Cleveland is soon to appear on the
same platform with Booker Washington
The ex-President may yet convince his
party that he will not be its candidate"
Be not deceived. Mr.. Cleveland will
make no new record by this show in public
of respect for man OF color He has re-
peatedly done that. and more than that.
When President he gave some excellent
places to competent colored men. and like
wise received them at the White House
officially. He made no apologies to his
party for his course; and while he was
criticised here and there in the south. the
criticism was Of a mild description. The
fury that has since characterized the at
tacks from the same quarter on Mr.. Nc
kinley and Mr.. Roosevelt for the same
thing, was absent in the case Of Mr. Cleve-
land. The dispenser of SO much patronage
in which the southern democrats were so
greatly interested had a practical claim
upon their forbearance: and the situation
developed their diplomacy.
We may accredit Mr.. Cleveland with alb
solute sincerity In this matter. But the
step would be a wise one II he were simply
playing politics. II the wheel of fortune
should bring him to the top again next
year-and many of his admirers are conf
IDENTIFY expecting that to happen-the negro
vote in every one Of the states where 1t is
cast and counted will be solicited in his
behalf The machine politicians in the
democratic party raise great howl about
the negro vote in the south. where they
have always failed to control It, But they
make earnest play for It, in the middle
states and in the east. and they manage
to divide It. There are colored democratic
clubs IN New York New Jersey. Indiana
Illinois. Ohio. and even in Maryland and
!, Kentucky. Mr.. Cleveland. received many
negro votes in his races for the presidency,

Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis.

Carter Harrison was elected mayor of
Chicago yesterday for the fourth consecu-
tive term. His majority was rather re-
duced. but it was big enough to land him
once more In the mayors chair without a
contest His reelection makes a remark
able record of the continuity of one family
at the head of the affairs of an American
city. His father had been elected five
times as mayor. and now the son is about
to enter upon his fourth term. 1t Is cal
culated that at the close of this term
father and son will have served Chicago
as mayor for one-fourth of the entire Pc
riod of the cty's existence as municipal
ity. The election yesterday was Of no
significance. Both sides were pledged to
municipal ownership, though in different
degrees. Harrison took the more radical
position. and yet in one respect more con-
sentative. He stood for patiently ava !ting
until the municipality could secure the hest
POSSIBLE terms from the corporations now
IN control of the public utilities, rather
than attempting now to take over those
utilities on terms which would seriously
burden the city with debt. as the republi-
cans proposed. Harrison likewise stood for
the referendum for municipal questions.
Party lines. it appears. were in many cases
national Influences in the contest.
BaltimOres primaries for the nomination
of municipal officers resulted in the sur
prisingly easy victory of McLane. candi-
date of the German forces. over Hayes,
candidate of the local democratic machine.
Ex-Mayor Latrobe received pitifully
small number of votes, less than the fourth
candidate. Yewell The primary was a
success In that II DOlled the sentiment of
the people without disorder The republi-
can balloting yielded unexpected results

against the republican machine. and who

reports have not yet been received.
deplorable result followed the munich
pal elections in St. Louis. where 1t was
hoped the city's decent element would rise
in revolt against the corrupt machine
whose evil transactions have been so clear
ly exposed. Despite the revelations as to
the Doodle gangs operations in the fran
chise traffic. the voters yesterday elected
the entire democratic ticket by majorities
approximating 5000. Nine of the crew of
corruptiOnist members of the old munich
pal house of delegates were reelected. 1t
is suspected that the most radical measures
were adopted by the brtberS and bribe-
takers to prevent the success of the hon
est government ticket and disclosures may
later be made to these devices even
more scandalous than the original develop
ments. 1t Is evident that St. Louis has not
yet been awakened to the perils which
await the municipality content to entrust
its affairs to men who make their living
in politics and who fiagrantly defy the die
tates of honesty
