Plain Talk to England and France.

The note from the United States to the Brit
ish and French governments, dealing with the
interference with mails by the Allies, is set in
very plain terms. Approaching the point with
directness that is almost blunt Mr., Lansing
frankly informs the allies their recent reply to
complaints made by the United States is not re-
sponsive, that it evades the question and is not
satisfactory 10 the United States. Equally clear
is his statement of the position Of the United
States to how the rules of The Hague con-
vention and the postal agreement should be APP
piled. He meets the evasve contention Of the
Grey note, in which military necessity is pleaded
in justification Of an intolerabe practice with
this plain propositions
"Manfestly neutral nation cannot permit
its rights on the high seas to be determined by
belligerents, the exercise OF those rights
to be permitted or denied arbitrarily by the gov
eminent OF warning nation. The rights Of neu-
trails are as sacred as the rights Of belligerents,
and must be as strictly observed"
While no date is set for the modification Of
the present practice Of selling and searching let
ter mail, the inference gained from the language
OF the note is that immediate compliance is ex-
pected. II the continuance of friendly relation
with England and France depends on removal
Of cause for complaint, further pursuit OF the
policy adopted in February last can only be con-
strued as offensive.

SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

Philadelphia Ledger; The Presbyterians
are finding out that the World, the Flesh
and the Devil" are modernized in the mo-
torear, the movies and the dance which
goes to prove that even that redoubtable
old trio cannont resist the temptation to
be ultra. modern.
New York World: The term fighting
parson" was appropriately applied to the
late Rev. Edward Anderson who died
Sunday at Quincy. Mass. at the age Of
SO. As chaplain of the Thirty-seventh
Illinois volunteers at the outbreak of the
civil war, subsequently colonel Of an In
diana cavalry regiment and minister of
the gospel for many years after the war,
he won equal honors as soldier and
preacher.
Minneapolis Journal: There is a whole
some tendency in small communities for
those Of similar denominational beliefs TO
lay aside minor differences and unite IN
one strong church to take the place of
several small, struggling, ineffective ones.
In these days, when less emphasis is
laid on faith and more on works, this Is
easily practicable. The world has come 10
judge man more by what he does than
by what he believes. and this is a just
judgement. The good that one strong
church can do In any community, is far
greater than the total Of the good accom-
plished by a number Of small organizations
that are fighting mortgages and starving
their ministers. in order to keep the fres
of ancient faith burning on the altar.
Springfield Republican: The leading
Protestant denominations are all busy
raising funds for their disabled and super
animated ministers. and three of them
have been given handsome lifts in the
will Of Mrs. d. Willis James Of New York
To the proper boards Of the Presbyterians
Congregationalists and Methodists she
leaves s7b0,000 each for their pension
funds. We have already told how we'll the
Episcopalians are coming on with their
fund. and the Roekefellers are not likely
10 see the Baptists fail in this matter.
II is only decent that the Christian
churches should feel as much RESPONSE
bility as business corporations in looking
after faithful employees who can no longer
work. But 10 return TO the James family.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. James were splendid
givers TO many good causes. Since her hus-
band died Mrs. James had been giving to
religious and phllanthropic objects some
thing like $1,000, 900 year. The number Of
people In the world who regard their
money as trust 10 larger than the pes
simists reckon on.

THE 1904 democratic convention at St Louis
J. was "a hot one" in every meaning OF the
word. The control was wholly in the hands
Of the reactionaries by more than two-to-one
majority and there never the slightest doubt
as TO the outcome OF the vote on any subject
brought up, but the brutal majority had to ride
rough-shod over Mr. Bryan at every turn. He
was the central figure OF the show. His protests
and pathetic appeals in the heated debates precpi
tated at several stages in the proceedings were
the only features that lifted the affair above the
ordinary and gave il the semblauce Of excitement
