a Free Church.

n free Onufcn.
Mr.. Canaleias was doubtless right
in saying the other day that the re-
dictionary clericals who signed the
manifesto against the Spanish govern
men did not comprehend the meaning
of modern liberty. The same reproach
might with scarcely less propriety be
directed against many others, and
We are not so sure that Mr.. Canalejas
and his colleagues, admirable as their
attitude is in many repects, would be
found entirely immune. Certainly the
conception of liberty. particularly
between the state and church, which
has long been commonplace in
America, seems to be little compre-
hended, or, at any rate, not practical
ly applied by even the liberal and adj
vanced governments of Europe.

Cavour's ideal, and his expressive
phrases have been the order of the day
ever since-in Italy, France, Spain,
and elsewhere. In a measure, no
doubt. progress toward the attainm emit

France, Waldeck-Rousseau did not,

jas in Spain The church is still to be

troll; there is still to be a minister of
public worship; the liberty which pre-
walls here is unknown and unsug-
gested.
Perhaps it would be impracticable,
at least for the present. The tradi-
tons and legacies of centuries of or
ganic relationship between church and
state are not to be got rid OF in a day.
We started our national course prac-
tically free from any such handicap.
In that respect we had and have great
advantage over European countries,
which must be taken into just consid-
Grafton when we contrast their clerical
problems with our immunity there
from. But it may at least be hoped
that the real meaning of modern liber-
ty, the meaning of the American sys-
tenn of complete separation of state
and church, with it's confessed and in
disputable advantage to both, will
gradually and irresistibly dawn upon
the European mind until it trium-
phantly prevails. Surely there is no
European statesman, perplexed with
interminable clerical problems who
does not envy the freedom of the
American state from all such compli-
cations; and we believe there are few
observant prelates in the Old World
who do not perceive that greater free
dom, greater prosperity, and greater
real power are enjoyed by the church
here than it possesses or can hope to
posses in European lands under any of
the systems which prevail there

the red men have been treated as if

red mans lands and broke treaty after

OF q popular cigar, skinned the natives
although he was SO smooth about II
that they did not know 1T and called
him their friend. From the time of the
organization of the government 1t has
always been the policy to take the IN
dian reservations and open them for
settlement whenever the land was
needed, regardless of what the Indians
wanted or thought. Originally all Of
this country belonged to the Indians.
Now they are down to few reserva-
lions and the white man is getting
these as rapidly as possible. After the
Indian has been robbed Of a continent

another set of newspapers, represent

statistics to bolster up their side?
The editor of the Globe never prints
a statement unless he believes IT IS

is hard to get at; that many state
