1,odiessness of New York.

Ray stannard Baker. writing In the June American Magazine. draws atten- tion to the amazing indifference of the people of New York city to any reiig- ious enterprise or church work. He says:
 Rev. pr. Walter Laidlaw of the Fed eration of Churches, has made exten- sive sociological and statistical studies of church conditions in New York city. Dr. Laidlaw estimated that in 1905 there were over a million (1,071.sSD churchless Protestants in the city. By churchless Protestants are meant peo- pie whose antecedents were Protestant and who, if they became interested in religious work, would naturally asso- ciate themselves with some Protestant church. Dr. Laidlaw shows, moreover, that the membership in Protestant churches, in spite of rapidly increasing population. has barely held its own in Greater New York, while on Manhattan Island there has been an actual loss of mem bership.
 Tn the first five years of this decade (i901 -1s06) the population of Manhat- tan Island increased by 300,000. but the number of Protestant church buildings actually decreased by three, the Cath olic churches increased by only five, and the Jewish synagogues (buildingsl in spite of the enormous Jewish immi- grafton, by eighteen.
 "The Roman Catholic Church has felt similar loss of power, not only in New York, but in other great American cities. Concerning this tendency we have the word of no less a parsonage than Archbishop Falconio. apostolic delegate from the Pope, spoken st the first great missionary conference of the Roman Catholic Church in America, held last spring in Chicago. He said:
 In our day spirit Of religious tndifferentism and relaxation of Chris tian morality is permeating the sanc- tuary of Christian families. To check this dangerous tendency we need re- viyal of the true Christian spirit. Be- sides. ia some dioceses numerous Cath olics are in want of priests. churches and schools: there are immigrants who are in need of rligious assistance.
 And the Roman Catholic is not more concerned than the Jew. AL though the Jewish population of New York City Is growing | rapidly, the same disheartenment exists among Jewish religious leaders as o among Chhirstians. The Jews. especially of the younger generation. show a grow
 
 the synagogues and the teaching of the fathers.
 "A clear observer. the Reverend Charles Stelzie. superintendent of the Labor Department of the Presbyterian Church, who sees the church from the point of vie wof the workman, says
 ".'The church today seems to have arrived at one of the most crucial per- iods of her history No one ca successfully deny that the church Is slowly but surely losing ground in the city. Nearly every city in Amer lea is witnessing the removal of its churches from the densely populated sections where the church Is most needed. within recent years forty Protestant churches moved out of the district below Twentieth Street in New York City, while 300.00O people moved in. Alarmed for her safety and her very life, the church has sounded a dismal retreat in the face of tho greatest opportunity which has ever come to her."

Consul General he was receiving 3s.00o d year at Shanghai, while the pay at Vienna is only ss.000. However, that Is preferable to being dropped from the service. to say nothing of having a much more desirable post from a social standpoint.
 What is bothering aspirants for con- dent Taft is going to stand by the Roosevelt order of making promotions. So far there Is no indications that he will revoke that order and permit Re- publican Senators and Representatives to recommend persons for the posi- tions.
 In the appointment of q new Consul General at London the other day. Pres- ident Taft carried out the Roosevelt idea for he promoted teh consul at Liy-. erpool to the oLndon ofiice. As was published at the time, John L. Griffiths, of Indianapolis, was the favored one. He has been the consul at Liverpool since March g. 1905. and the salary there is ss.0oo. It is s12.oo0 as Con- sui General at London. Until the ser. vice was reorganized the Consul Gen. eral at London had with a smaller salary enormous fees that at one time really made the position the best in the gift of the President.
 Fees Cut Down.
 A quarter of q century or more ago the salary and fees at London. togeth- 900 . year, but gradually the fees were cut down, though before Congress re- organized the service H Clay Evans of Tennessee, managed to rake in an av- craze of about s22.o00 year while he was there. and Robert J. Wynne who has just been suppianted by John L. Grifiths, the first year he was consul general at London. is said to have re- alized approximately $25,00o. Mir. Wynne is. favorite of former Presi- dent Roosevelt, who took him from the ranks of the Washington newspaper correspondents, his original appoint ment being First Assistant Postmaster General and for 6 few months before going to London he was Postmaster General in the Roosevelt cabinet. But, of course, President Taft was under no obligations to retain Wynne. Now the politicians are wondering just how many more heads are to fall among the consuls general and the consuls hold ing the more desirable positions, and if changes are to be made they are speculating as to the probability of the Roosevelt order being revoked and what the chances of the aspirants on the outside will be.
 According to the register of the State Department corrected to April 20 of this year, Alabama has not at present a single ambassador or minister to any foreign country nor Is there secre- tary of legation credited to the State. And in the long consular list only two men from Alabama are given. They are Alfred w. Donegan. consular agent at $1,000 a year, stationed at Algiers in Africa. and Samuel Grant consul lar agent at Ceiba In Honduras. His compensation is in fees, and for the last year he received only s459.

When some chiefs of the Basuto tribe of South Africa recently visited England, they were presented by the British and Foreign Bible Society with handsomely bound copies of the Scrip lures in their own language. To their petition that the importation of liquor into their country De forbidden no an- swer was returned by the Govern ment. The Congregationalist remarks that an affirmative reply to this re- quest would seem likely to impress the visitors that the teachings of the Bible had been fruitful in the British rulers.

for the strikers cause prevents the people from attacking the trains used solely for carrying United States mails. All thought of business prosperity it. self appears for the present to be swallowed up in a grim determination to keep negroes of from engines ex- cept as the patrons of the road may dictate.
 Diseontent and Restiessness. At Crawfordville, at Union Point and at Thomson strong parties of men have announced that neither freight nor pas- senger trains shall pass manned by ne- groes. Discomfort and restlessness Is hourly growing. For the first time there is 6 real food shortage, and a few isolated localities today feel the pangs of hunger.
 A hopeful sign, however, is the fact that the white people everywhere in the strike district are showing consid- eration for the feelings of the negroes. The race issue thus far extends only to thoee blacks who are firing Georgia Railroad trains. In many instances the negroes are saying that the white man is right and that c freman's job is white mans work and his by right.
 Taft Pleased.
 Pfttsburg, Pa, May 29.-President Taft received his first information of the settlement of the Georgia Railroad strike while he was at the baseball game here this afternoon when an As- sociated Press dispatch was shown to him. Turning to Secretary of State Knok he said:

 speed. When the news of settlement was flashed along the main line oft the railroad, 1t was within half an hour of time for passenger trains to leave here and Augusta. Engines were standing cold in the yards, the trains had not been made up for a week, the crews were scattered, Augusta was ek- cited over an attack just committed on a negro fireman and tempers were at the breaking point all along the line. Yet within an hour after the time their schedules called for departure the reg ular passenger trains pulled out of Augusta and Atlanta, and were well comed in town after town with hos pitable greetings and some times with cheers.
 That State officials had planned to apply for reeeivership as a means of ending the Georgia Railroad strike in case other resorts failed, was made known tonight. The receivership was to be applied for upon the ground of public safety and necessity and the ap : plicatfon was drawn up several days ago, although never filed.

Firm Against Negroes.

Atlanta. May 2s.-Rioting again broke out this morning In the Georgia firemen's strike. A negro fireman was badly beaten at Augusta, but before there were serious conse quences the police had interfered and settled the matter by arresting two white men.
 The people of North Georgia In the railroad strike district today delivered unmistakably their ultimatum 70 all parties in controversy that negro nIs man shaIl not be allowed to operate engines except on the mail trains. This ultimatum came in the form of strong ly worded protests from nearly every cormunitv along the railroad, voicing indignation against the forcing or ne- a.so arenen onto the trains under cov- CT of the United States mails.

LUCKY GULFPORT.

In another column will be found
some special correspondence from
Gulfport which ought to set our peo-
pie to thinking Why is it that Gulf
port can get such an appropriation,
amounting to almost 100000 more
than Hattiesburg? We think we can
give the answer but it will not satisfy
The News and it should not be sat
isfactory to the people of Hattiesburg
Some one will tell you that it is the
Custom House feature which costs so
much more but when you are told that
ask how many people are employed in
the custom house. AS matter OF
fact the Gulfport custom house does
not need any more room than the post
office inspector for this district needs;
1t is a good excuse, however, but one
that is hardly sufficient to justify
the treatment that Hattiesburg has
received in the matter of postoffice
appropriation.
Now please remember, that we are
not finding any fault with Gulfport.
We are glad that hey got such an APP
Precipitation and they are entitled 10
all they can get. They were not sat
isfied with the first appropriation,
though it would undoubtedly have
built a building plenty large enough
for their needs for years to come;
being wise people down there they
decided to get ali they could and they
have done well.
1t is hard to understand without
living in Gulfport, how the mist from
the Gulf affects peoples eyes, and
they seem to have ''mstified" every
one who has anything to do with CON
gressional appropriations, so that they
cannot see much need for big ap-
preparations anywhere except along
the sea coast.
If we mistake not Gulport got the
first appropriation about the same
time that Hattiesburg was included,
hut since that they have added as
much as the original amount allotted
to our city, and we have no doubt
but that they will be further favored
