THE POPE AND THE WORLD

Leo XIII was happy in his death. Or per-
maps we might say. if the phrase be properly
understood. that the Roman Catholic Church,
and indeed the whole Christian world were
happy III his death. The time was we'll chosen
when peace prevailed on every hand, when no
great issues were impending, and when thanks
largely to Leo himself. the Roman Church was
i'll the highest estate of influence and prosperity
that it had known for many years Since the
Church had to lose him. it was well to do SO at
such time The manner of his passing was
also fitting, for. agoniZing 1t was in some
respects the POpes protracted illness, with its
alterations of hope and despair, was unuues-
tionably profitable to the Church of which he
the head and to the world at large Be
cause of it sympathies were aroused and ex-
pressed in other circumstances they might
not have been, and the mutual relations be-
tween that Church and the world were ma
terially ameliorated
This latter fact has been observed in the cur
rent news for many days. its conspicuous cul-
minatiOn being in the af1uent records yester-
day accompanying the tidings of the Popes
death. couple Of examples may be cited out
of many At many representative gatherings
of clergy and laymen Of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church and other aggressively Protestant
churches within the last fortnight public
prayers were offered for the Pope's restora-
tiOn TO health and for mis- general wellbeing
OF course; why not? IS the ready comment Yet
what a contrast between those prayers and the
intense andPapal utterances which may be
recalled in the not distant past from the pul-
pits of some of those same churches! Again,
last week an official dispatch was sent out
from the Vatican, In the name of the PapaI Sec
retary of State, expressing gratitude for such
acts of Protestant churches as those we have
just described. in which those churches were
spoken of ''the disSident churches" and as
1.-The American Protestant churches'-terms
precisely like those which one of the Prot
estant churches is accustomed TO apply to the
others. Objectively that may mean little. The
Protestant churches may not care that the
Roman Church at last thus recognizes them.
Subjectively 1t means much 1t is no small
thing for the Roman Catholic Church TO nut
itself thus on record regarding Protestant
churches churches instead of as "schismatic
and heretical sects."
We do not say the gulf between Protestant
ism and Catholicism has been bridged. or even
that its width and depth have been lessened.
Leo himself emphasized its continued existence
and significance In his almost contemptuoUs
and wholly crushing rejection OF the English
Ritualsts' somewhat abject plea for recogni-
ton at his hands. But we may at least hope
that those who stand on the opposite sides of
that gulf will hereafter regard each other in
changed and more favorable light Methodists
and Baptsts and other Protestants will scarce
~ forget that they have prayed for a Pope of
Rome not as for an erring sinner that he might
be converted from the evil of his ways but as
for great and good man that he might be

THE IMMIGRATIoN PROBLEM.

There are undoubtedly many thoughtful Amer
leans who view with apprehension and distruSt
the rising tide of alien immigration. They see
no check in the steady inflow through our gates
Of Europe's surplus population. On the con-
trary. that inflow seems to widen and deepen,
gathering in its current many new and undesir-
able streams of race and nationality The old
thrush from Northern Europe has given way
10 a new one from Central Europe and the
Mediterranean basis; and many intelligent
minds have begun to forecast with some I'M
easiness the effect of this new racial infusion
on our industrial and political life
The Commissioner General of immigration
Mr Frank P. Sargent, declares in his recent an
nual report that an influx of aliens such as the
last twelve months have witnessed constitutes
a genuine peril to national interests. The
year ended June 80 1903 was record break
ing in the history of immigration Nine
hundred and twenty-one thousand aliens applied
for admission at our ports-and only S,769 Of
them were rejected. OF this vast army of ''un-
digested citizens" Austria Hungary furnished
III, $50, Italy 1888 and Russia 107,347. Ire
land sent only 29, 13s. England 1888 Germany
2S.304 and Sweden and Norway 4S.37S. Ger
tainly on this showing some basis can be found
for the suggestion that THE United States is be
ling deluged with 4 horde of Italian pushcart
showers and organ grinders. with army Of
ignorant. unskilled and degraded humanity
from Austria Hungary, and with a band equal
.ly as large and as undesirable from the Rus
sian Empire"
Mr.. Sargent thinks, apparently. that the i'm
migration law passed by Congress at its last
session will fail of its expected purpose unless
il is amended so as 10 impose an educational
test on all intending immigrants Nor does he
feel that the clauses forbidding steamship com
DanieS 10 solicit immigration or TO exploit
abroad the opportunities awaiting unskilled
labor IN this country will ever be effectively en-
forced. As he sees il. the majority of the immi-
grants from Central and Southern Europe go

v-ler. prosperity slackens and the demand for
their labor lessons serious burden on our in

The Commissioner General may be justified
in some Of his forebodings. But we think that
on the whole he undertakes the nations ca
pacity for assimilation. l. country so vast
as ours destined within a century 10 sustain
population ten times greater than il has to-day
we need fear no serious overstocking of our al

COTTON.

Current movements in the cotton market are
ominous It is doubtless fine thing, from some
points Of view, to see prices soaring above
twelve cents pound, as contrasted with the
five cents of not long ago, though II does not
appear TO what extent the actual producers OF
the staple are profting by the increase Inere
is something magnificent, perhaps, to some
eyes, in the spectacle of cotton which hdd peen
exported to Europe being reimported to the
United States to supply the demand in the 40
mestic gnifcent, but not commerce
But there is another side Of the case which
well deserves attention in view of the fact that
these extraordinary doings are suspected 10 De
in a measure the work, not of natural condl-
tions but of artificial speculation
That is the fact that this scarcity OF Amer-
can cotton, real or artificial, is giving an ehor-
nous impetus to the European movement loF
the development of sources of supply else-
where than in the United States. We called at
tentiOn the other day to the experiments In COT
ton raising made by the British and Germans
in Africa, especially in Lagos and the adJaceht
territories. Those experiments are extensive
very much in earnest and largely successful, so
that West African cotton is likely in rev
wears to be an important factor in the Euro
pean market in competition with our own.
Egyptian cotton, too is increasing in quantity,
and bids fair to do so to an enormous extent
through the doubling of Egypts cultivable area
which has been effected by the damming OF the
Nile Cotton growing in India and elsewhere
is also steadily increasing, while Russia'S vast
plantations in Central Asia promise to make
that empire great exporter of cotton.
All these things are menace to the Ameri-
can cotton industry which should not be over
looked. Cotton is no longer king, but it is still
one Of the chief princes of the American indus
trial world. It's coronet, however, is not en-
tirely secure. 1t largely depends upon foreign
patronage. Cut off the European demand, and
our cotton planters would enter upon more
than seven lean years. For that reason, any
thing that imperils the European demand is of
evil omen. For weeks past the whole talk of
the European cotton trade has been Of the de-
veIopment of new sources of supply which
shall enable European mills to keep running
steadily, regardless of bad seasons or of 'cor-
ners" In America, and which shall not be sub
ject to speculative fluctuations OF prices. So
far as our prices and supplies are determined by
actual conditions, they must stand, whether for
good or for i'll. But the artificial manipulation
of them by speculative means must be regard
ed as a short sighted policy, calculated quickly
to provoke and to promote a competition grave
ly menacing to our own prosperity.

congruous and undesirable; but in our race
amalgam every European element can prohtabiy
be utilized. The vicious, the depraved, the
degenerate must be excluded Our present con-
tract labor prohibitions must be maintained
The anarchist and the criminal must De de-
tanned and deported Our shores must not be
made q dumping ground for the derelicts of Eu-
rope But we can still afford to hold the door
open to the immigrant who honestly casts his
lot with ours and contributes with his toll to the
great and as yet only half finished work of
American development
