Harmony Not Unity for Protestantism.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Your
editorial Catholic Unity and Protestant
Unity" in this mornings Sun. strikes good
'hote. 1t Is well said that with Rome there
can be no reunion except at the price OF re-
submission to the Papacy." and that the
tendency at this time seems rather to be
toward Protestant unity"
Now, is Protestant unity desirable? While
union OF Presbyterans with other Presby-
terian bodies and of Methodists with other
Methodist bodies, &c, might be 80, no material
union is desirable in Professionalism. Unity
at the expense Of freedom Is not sign OF the
true Church; because 1t can only be accom-
plishcd by blind submission, or. In the words
Of the Index. when every free man "lauda-
bitter so subject" The sign Of the Church
Of Christ is not unity, but harmony. which
fairly exists among tie free Protestant de-
nominations. In fact there Is more unity
among the Protestants than there Is in the
bosom of Papacy
The free dgInent and searching OF Script:
ure will always be better than an absurd
union, on which people are wasting SO much
ink. The different denominations OF Prot,
estantism will never form such unity as would
destroy their historical path. Only the unity
of Spirit is what they have. Instead Of losing
50 much time in planning unity. let the Prot
estants go to work and do more to propagate
Christianity by fighting their common enemy.
ignorance or superstition. This is the time.

CHURCH TO INSURE ITSELF.
Catholic Diocese OF LOns Island Pays out
Too Much In Premiums.

Bishop Mcdonnell of the Brooklyn Roman
Catholic diocese and his consultants are
formulating plans for the organization
Of an insurance company to Insure the
property belonging to the diocese. which
is valued at over $l0,OOO,Ooo under law
passed by the last Legislature.
In the past forty years over S?,5oo,o0o
has been paid to the insurance companies
in premiums by the diocesan authorities,
and less than $3.50 900 has been taken out.
The raising OF the insurance rates last
winter decided Bishop Mcdonnell and his
advisers to organize an insurance com.
pany of their own and the bill was passed
for the purpose,
The plan which will probably be adopted
includes features Of both regular COM
pany and mutual company. A start is to
be made with small capital, the money
to be loaned on first and second mortgages
at 1 and ~ per cent. Under any circtm-
stances, the period at which the diocese
can carry its own insurance is long way o6.

Our Water supply.

The official announcement that New
Workers needn't fear a water famine,
even though no rain falls before the
middle of August, is in gratifying con-
trast to the scare prophecies with
which our Water Department has ha-
bitually stirred up public anxiety. The
water storage now available is ample,
and that in preparation will doubtless
provide for sufficient margin over the
needs of the nearer future.

from the mother country, Mr.. CHAMBER
LAlN's project would involve Great
Britain in constant tariff disputes with
the colonies which must eventually have
disintegrating effect upon the Empire.
Now let us hear what is said upon the
other side. Naturally. the Right Hon.
HENRY CHAPLIN. a champion OF the
British landed interest, and formerly
Secretary of Agriculture, regards MIR.
CHAMBEBLAIN's proposal with cordial
sympathy. Mr.. L. j. MAxsE, the editor
of the National Rerieu, who has long ad-
vocated an Imperial Xollverein, welcomes
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN scheme as glad
tidings of great joy to all who consider the
British Empire potent agency for good
and a precious heritage, to be preserved
at all costs" The Right Hon. JAMES
LowTHER. another representative OF the
landed interest, proclaims the speech in
which Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN outlined his
plan the most statesmanlike utterance
which the country and the Empire have
had addressed to them for many years
past" Mr.. BENJAMIN KIDD, the author
Of Social Evolution and" Principles of
Western Civilization" is unable to see
in the new proposal of Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
any dire portent Of evil. l see, he says,
rather the phases Of Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN's work, begun long ago in munich
pal Birmingham, expressing themselves
on larger and higher stage of colonial
policy" We observe, lastly, that the
Saturday Reriep describes Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN's proposal as the boldest and most
striking appeal ever made by British
statesman to the imperial instincts ofan
ancient people, For the sake of great
idea the knitting together of scattered
empire, an original and imaginative
statesman calls upon a nation OF shop
keepers to give up some of their profits,
and, possibly, to quarrel with some OF
their most powerful customers This,
says the Saturday Rerier, is magnificent,
but it warns Mr. CHAMBERLAIN against
making too large demand upon the im-
perial loyalty of the average Briton. 1t
also warns him that, if the artisans OF
the large towns are to be won over to a
new fiscal system, not only food staples,
but imported manufactures, particularly
articles Of luxury, will have to be taxed.
So much for expressions of public
opinion We shall soon learn how Mr.
CHAMBERLAIN proposal, indorsed by
Premier BALFoUR, is regarded by their
colleagues in the Cabinet. The London
Daily Neus asserts that not only will the
scheme be attacked in the House by two
former Unonist Chancellors Of the E1-
chequer Sir MICHAEL HICKs-BEAcH and
Mr.. GosCHEN, but that it meets with the
disapproval of the present occupant of
that office, Mr.. RITCHIE, and likewise Of
the Duke of DEvoNsHIRE, of Lord LANs-
DowNE and of Lord SELBoRNE. II this
assertion be well founded the Cabinet
is on the eve of drastic reconstruction.

Homo Again.

MIR. ROOSEVELT Is IN washington once
more, in the pink of condition, happy,
radiant not even tired after journey
of some 1900 miles and 283 speeches.
Such is the blessing Of a strenuous con-
stitution. He has had good time from
start to finish. II he has not added
much to the stock of wisdom, at least
he has said nothing injurious to his pros
poets. He has been received cordially,
with the curiosity and interest naturally
awakened by his career and still more by
his robust, salient and emphatic person.
atty His unconventional and impulsive
temperament appeals especially to the
West and the far West but nowhere can
he be watched with indifference. He is
full of electricity, sharp shocks, attrac-
tion and repulsion.
To speak like a book, he is no dull
numbering history, but sort Of novel
on legs, or shall we say it's hero? very
human and adventurous character full
of animal spirits, caracoling bravely on
his mustang, rattling and brisk. but
tempering the cowboy with the field
preacher and emitting in season and out
Of season the gospel of the strenuous life.
For all this gallant air, he is far from
reckless. Amid the thunder Of hoofs and
drums his ear is keen to catch the faintest
rustic of boom. He looks we'll to his
girths; and he never rides 80 fast that he
fails to take note Of the condition Of the
fences.
He has seen a good stretch of country
and it has seen him. Doubtless the in
spection has been good for both. We
have no patience with the GROWERS who
object to a Presidents progress as an
electioneering tour. 1t is become part
of the business Of President to show
himself In such a wide reach of land
he must 60 to the people since not many
of the people can 60 to him. He is their
servant. They like to see how he looks.
Whatever Of political motive, conscious
or sub-conscious, there may be in the
travels Of President, the political effect
is not likely to amount to much. The
welcome is popular, not partisan; it is
holiday and not canvass.
Still, Mr.. ROOSEVELT brings back
pretty sheaf OF trlumphs or hopes. No
wonder he has grown fat in those sixty
six laborious days that would have nagged
the nerves and melted the flesh of less
sturdy man. In the first place, the miles
of babies that we're held up to his admir-
ing eyes must have convinced him that
his warnings have been needed and that
the race has decided to live. In the
second place. Ohio has subscribed her.
self his most obliged and obedient SER
want, and the Hon. CHARLES W. FAIR
BANKS of Indiana has smiled meekly and
waved away the unoffered crown. All
goes well, so far. Best Of cu, after eating
heartily of hundred st.>nge messes
and impromptu luncheons, Mr. RoosE-
WELT has a sound digestion. Everything
is rosy. The vacation has been a great
success; and now to business.

Here are the official British figures: In 1897
the death list was $4,000. In 1903 1t was

and in 1902 it was 577 ,OOo making the deadly
total for six years Of 1,25s,ooo souls. But that
is not all. During the three 6rst months
of the present year the total Of deaths from
the plague is S3l 900, or more deaths in three
months from that disease than there were
in the entire year OF 1901.
At the present rate: the BLACK death

A Suggestive Analysis OF Urban
Population.

A very careful study Of the ethnic
factors in the population of Boston,
made by DR.. FREDERICK A. BUsHEE, is
published by the American Economic
Association. A somewhat similar analy-
sis of the population of New York has
been made by the Federation Of Churches
under the skilful direction of DR.. WALTER
LA1DLAw, to whose mastery handling
Of social statistics we have referred here
tofore. The subject is of great interest
and importance, and it will attract the
more serious attention from rejecting
people the more thoroughly it is under
stood.
OF the population of New York as
whole in 1900, the percentage OF native
whites of native parentage was only 2l.5,
and in Manhattan borough only l6,s, the
smallest in any city of the Union, with
the exception of Fall River where it was
1873 per cent. Even this small percent
age of native population, however, would
be reduced very greatly il the grand
children of foreigners were deducted.
The statistics of our population as ana
lyzed by Dr. LAIDLAw show:

smallest percentage of these native
whites of any city in the Union, or only
1873.

grafton from Russia too, has received
a new impulse from the recent Kishineff
outrages, though efforts are used by the
