The Times criticises a remark made by us
that nearly all the gold Democrats in the
State OF New York Who are going back to
their party at all went back before this
campaign, and a great part OF them In 1900.
1t takes the poll for Mr.. CLEVELAND in 1892
as the normal Democratic percentage and
deduces the conclusion that many gold
Democrats voted fo MCKINLEY In 1900.
In view Of the changes in political condi-
tions since 1892, the Democratic percentage
OF that election cannot now be assumed a.
normal. The percentages Of the election
for Governor in ls0, into which the cur
rency question did not enter. may more
reasonably be taken They were, Repub-
hcan, %s.05; Democr,tic, E.N. The Ttmes
enumerates fifteen c,unties carried by Mr..
CLEVELAND in 1892, d which only four were
carried by BRIAN in 1900; but In 1902 CoLER
carried only six OF them. A party cannot
go through eight years experience OF
Bryanism without permanent suffering.
Nor Is the taint vt removed from the
Democracy. 1t wa not removed by the
st.. Louis convention, Of which the dorni-
mating spirit was 1ryanite. Accordingly,
there is practically 70 more reason for gold
Democrats to vote with their party now
than there was in BOO, and as reasonable
men that opinion viii prevail among many
OF them next Novenber.

TO SAVE SALMON FISHING.
Tho United States Proposes . Joint Con
ference With Canada.

OTTAWA, Ont. Aug. 2s.-The cause OF the
request OF the United States Government
for conference With Canadian authorities
which is hurryihg the Hon Raymond
Prefontaine home, has just been made
public. 1t appears the salmon canneries
on Puget Sound are threatened with ex-
tinction. owing to the use Of trap nets by
the British Columbia Gamers.
The proprietors have induced the United
States Government to propose a conference
for the purpose OF considering joint action
by Canada and the United States for the
protection OF the sock eye salmon in British
Columbia. The United States despatch on
the subject has just been received through
the Colonial Office by the Governor General.
The Hon, Raymond Prefontaine will con-
slider it when he returns from the West.
The United States assert Canada will
benefit as much as the republic by inter
national action. Canada can protect her
own salmon fsheries, and il she chooses can
prevent the fish from reaching the nets Of
United States fishermen. This Is said to be
the real cause OF the present alarm at Puget
Sound.

Mr.. Bourke Cockran's Prediction.

Mr.. BouRKs COCHRAN, in an address
made by him on Sunday to Roman Cath
Ollie society on Long Island, predicted
the conversion of the United States
to Catholicism within a century. The
very great change which has come over
public sentiment in this country during
the last fifty years is suggested in the
general indifference with which such
remark is received now. II it had been
made fifty years ago it would have pro-
yoked bitter Protestant resentment. No
campaign orator like Mr.. COCHRAN would
have dared to make it in the midst OF a
great political canvass.
Now the disposition will be simply to
question the soundness of Mr.. Cock
RAMS Judgment. II the United States
has not been converted to Catholicism
during the last century, what reason is
there to suppose that the conversion is
to take place during the next? AS
Bishop McFAUL Of Trenton declared
some time since, the conversion would
have been effected already if the Roman
Catholic Church had held all the people
of it's faith, with their descendants, who
have been brought to us by annexation
OF territory on this continent and by
immigration from Roman Catholic coun-
tries. His calculation was that If that
had been done the Catholic population
of the United States would now be- fort y
millions, or about half the whole popu-
lation, though actually, according to
his estimate, the number is only fifteen
millions.
That estimate Of the existing Catholic
population is high; but accepting it, tho
number represents less than fifth OF
the total population and is exceeded
by the Protestant Church membership
and even more by the population out
side of all Churches and beyond their
influence. Ofthe immigration now COM
ing to this country great part Is Jewish
though from Italy the Roman Catholic
Church is receiving many adherents.
The Irish immigration, from which
source came the most faithful body Of
Roman Catholics in the past, has dimin-
ished greatly, and an anti-emigration
bOClcIy Ah ~ lOAobu 10 dbAhG O'OAy
ence to diminish it still further.
The Roman Catholic population Of
native extraction is relatively small
Censuses Of church attendance in our
large towns have indicated that the
great mass of the population are neglect
fulo religious observances. The Church
membership of the Union, Protestant
and Catholic, comprises minority Of the
population-only about thirty millions
out Of eighty millions.
The conversion Of the United States
to Catholicism, therefore, is not proba-
bility Of the future that need excite Prot
estant alarm. The alarm for which there
may be justification is as to the preserva-
ton of either religious faith with the
intensity OF conviction which distin-
guished the period before criticism of
all religious dogrnas began to be as wide
spread as it is now. Instead Of being
enemies, Protestants and Catholics have
reason rather to be allies in the defence
of religious faith, OF supernaturalism,
against their common enemy Of indiffer-
ence and infidelity.

Canada's New Boundary Question.

Canada's New Boundary Question.
For only a small part Of the last hun
dred years has Canada been without q
boundary question. The territorial dis
pute on her far western coast having
been brought to an end last year, now
question appears in her extreme eastern
domain.
The colony Of Newfoundland, politi-
cally distinct from that of Canada, exer-
cises political control over about 10000
square miles on the mainland. the terri
tory thus controlled being known as
Labrador. The population Of this dis
trict is about 1000. The Hamilton
River, which empties into Hamilton In
let. runs inland for several hundred
miles, and marks a portion OF the boun-
Diary line between the Province OF Que
bee and vast wilderness called Ungava
The river is entirely within Canadian
territory. which also appears to include
the western end Of Hamilton Inlet.
For many years Newfoundland. has
collected customs dues on all metchan-
disc entering the inlet irrespective of
its destination in Labrador or Canadian
territory. Canada now proposes to es-
tablish a custom house ON the some
what indefinite border line, collect du-
ties on goods destined for Canadian
territory, and estop Newfoundland from
collections on all goods except thoss be-
longing In Labrador. In 10 doing

From the brotherhood the public has
learned to expect conservative ana
thoughtful action, and in this expecta-
tion 1t has seldom, II ever, been disap-
pointed. Last Sunday MEETING OF the
organization was he'd in thia city, at the
conclusion Of which one OF the brother
hood members, M. NJ. CLAT,p OF Jersey
City, in speaking to a reporter for the
New York Tribune, made this significant
statement:
we wish II to be distinctly understood that the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engiteers take the
stand that, as our forefthers gave Us all equal
rights. we have no right 70 decide bat we will not
work with non union mon. The Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers or Its members as body
never said that they should work with none but
members Of the brotherhood. What We have In.
sisted on and will always lnsis, on that the stan
dard OF union wages be observed all along. whether
the men be union non'unlon. We hold that
non union man has as good a ngN to work ~
union man II he gets the zane wages"
In other words, says Mr.. CIAPP, the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
is for the open cab. The membership
does not hold to the theory that because
a man neglects or refuses to enroll HIM
self among them he IS an aecursed out
cast, unfit to live, an enemy 10 be beaten
or starved to death as circumstances or
opportunity may permit. The organiza-
tion is perhaps unwilling to go the full
length of the road thus pointed out and
acknowledge the absolute right of every
man to sell his labor for price agree
able TO him and to the purchaser; but
Its attitude is such as to throw into strong
relief the viciousness and criminality OF
those labor leaders" who say, "You
shall employ the man who wears this
badge, and none other; and he who does
not wear it shall be done to death.
The policy advocated by this engineer
is not new one. /, is the open shop
policy, in fighting which some organiza-
tions Of workingmen are expending their
strength and substance,
The engineers arenow facing vexing
problem, brought about by the substi-
tuition Of electricity as a motive power
for steam. In solving it they will need
to use all their wisdom and to exercise
all their self-restraiIt. Their broad and
far-sighted policy in sustaining the open
cab will encourage the public to believe
that the solution viii be found by them
in moderation and good sense.
