It is written in the annals of witch-burning in New England that one young fellow procured the burn- ing at the stake of a girl who had rejected his amatory suit because, he said, he was unable to sleep for thinking ot her, and therefore he must be WitCuad, and he probably was, but not in the way he thought Hypn ism has had many things laid at its door.

It is accused of having broken an engagement between two young people! This is the most serious charge vet made against it The course of true love was running as smooth as molasses, when suddenly it became as rough as the breakers on Columbia River and turbid as a slickens-bearing stream, and then in a jiffy it was all off between Jack and Jill, and its centrifugal force sent them apart. There is something, however, more serious than hypnotic force in this case. We who had the simple, old-fashioned training were taught to believe that the domestic relations and the proceedings antecedent to the foundation of a family and a home were so intensely personal that the papers and the public had nothing to do with them. In those wholesome days it was @ sign of decent self-respect to preserve in- violate the confidences of the person, the heart, the home. and the family. All this seems to be passing aw3y. The affairs of the heart are given glaring pub- “city, and the parties most interested in their confi- dential nature blab volubly to reporters and give up their pictures to illustrate the story. Things once sacred are publicly discussed as if they were no more sentimental than the purchase of a chicken in the market or trading horses at the crossroads. ) Tribune Building | be- | THE PAS3SING OF LEO. HE death of a Pope is of a different significance T now irom that oi such an event in pas* ages. While much controversy has been cai d by !the loss of Papal temporalities, and there be those | that believe that the fullness of his spiritual primacy of the world can only be when united to the tem- poral sovereignty of Rome, yet there are others who are convinced that the loss of temporal power has increased the spiritual influence of the Papacy. Leo XIIT maintained the attitude toward the loss of the temporalities that was assumed by his more militant predecessor, Pius IX, but his spiritual and political diplomacy was of a much finer and more gracious quality, and the great bodies of Protestant Christians which discuss feelingly the nnion under one sacra- ! ment of all believers have felt that such a union | would be easier under Leo than any other, | His position in European politics was that of an | arbiter, and it is now a pleasant memory that in his ! last days he received the heads of two great Protes- | tant empires, England and Germany, cach in a way | the head of branches of the Christian faith, and that !he also had occasion to acknowledge the polite and tasteful attentions of the President of the United States, the greatest non-religious state that has ever existed. Times have changed since the Pope was both a spiritual and temporal successor to the Cae- sars, and Kings and Princes resorted to Rome, and in the case of Henry IV even went to Canossa, #hrough fear of the material power possessed by the head of the church. Still Leo, by consent of mankind, by the ! respect accorded his character and wisdom, probably | has influenced the modern world for good as much as any in the long line behind him influenced the ancient world for the benefit of the men then living. Still he seemed to feel hampered in Europe Whether the church and politics were too much blended, by design or necessity, or whether he felt | that worldly ambitions were more potent than spir- itual zeal among his followers, he was never wholly | happy in his European realm. The great progress | of the anti-clericals in Italy, France and Spain, mal ling a campaign that was keenly felt to be personal by the gentle-minded Pontiff, was the cause of anxiety, while the misfortunes that during his pontificate fell | upon the Hapsburgs, the last of the great Catholic | dynasties left among the royalties of Europe, were {10 him in the nature of personal afflictions, for the | concordat will be between Austria and the Papacy ‘:whtn it is nowhere else. So, ieeling himself hampered everywhere else, and | even the witness of frivolities in the body of the | church, it is no wonder that, turning to the New World as a shepherd thinking of his distant flock, he said, “I am Pope only in the United States.” This meant that under our system of absolute religious freedom, in which Rome, Lhassa and Mecca have equal right and privilege, he could devote his highly spiritual quality to the government of his church and was not diverted from things spiritual to things tem- poral. In this country He had the warm and enthu- siastic love of his Catholic people and the sincere respect of all Christians and of Jew and Gentile alike. In his affectionate ascription to this republic one reads his high conception of the Papacy as a spir- itual office only, and so it appeared in a fashion | as his ascription to the division of church and state. Feeling that he was in reality Pope only in the United | States, he praised as none of his predecessors had | the separation of church and state as the best for both. Around him were the ruins of the former | union of church and state, and everywhere built on { them a historic antagonism to the Papacy—England | with the denunciatory clause in her coronation oath, | Germany with the May laws and - France with her | | disestablishment of the orders; all celebrating with f violent effusion the end of that union between church ! and state, which our constitution makes forever im- [ possible here, and here only was the great Leo | Pope in that sense which seemed to him the very essence of the office. | Of course his successor will be an Italian. That is | the policy of the church Originally adopted | keep the Holy See at Rome and emphasized by the %cxi]e to Avignon, it has in later years been seen as | a greater necessity to guard Rome as the seat of the church. All of its traditions are there, and if trans- | ferred it would be stripped of its romance, its high | sentiment, its hoary associations. So a majority of | the Cardinals are Italians, and one hears but little | any more of the contests between the Montanists and | the Ultramontanists over the control of the Sacred College. Leo will have a countryman for his successor, but there may be many Popes before one comes again with. the peculiar, kindly and gentle quality of this riend of mankind. .

R EPORTS published some time ago to the ei- forts at currency legislation during the com- ing session of Congress and would make use of the House and the Senate appear to have been | exaggerations. Cannon believes the present currency tages of a Kansas training. fect that Mr. Cannon would oppose all ef- the issue to bring to a test the relative powers of system to be sufficient for the needs of the country Talk of romance’ She has become 2 painted iade, and will oppose legislation in the way of reform or a mixture of gossip and hussy, discussed by the par. alteration of any kind. He believes in letting well ties most concerned as freely as if she were a milch enough alone, and on the currency question as on cow, a racchorse or a rabbit-chasing hound. All re- that of the tariff will stand pat. It is not true, how- serve is rudely set aside. The down is rubbed off the | ¢¥er; that he will use the powers of the Speakership peach and the bloom from the grape, and vulgarity to oppose the efforts of the reformers, nor will he sits in the blaze of publicity, where once rose the shaded shrine of domestic and personal privacy and decency Hypnotism, odic force, suggestion and astral in- fluence may be pleaded as the reason for this change. But the real reason is the hopeless vulgarizing of life and the sacrifice of all that was once dear because personal and confidential to the desire for publicity and sensation. ‘ General Miles jumped into the saddle the other day and rode ninety miles in nine hours. And still the Jaw decrees that the commandeér of the American | army has reached the age when he must retire to the ease and sloth of grivate inactivity. It is well to know that we have, in time of need, such specimens of sturdy American manhood in retirement. The Legislature of Hawaii, running riot in the full flush of youth, is supplying us with scandal after scandal. Money, of course, is the source of the evil and time and prison bars the remedy. When the Ter- vitory becomes older we may expect much of it as & was caught youmg undertake to make it an issue between the House and the Senate, The correction of the original report clears the situation. It is now evident that the controversy over the currency will be waged upon the merits of the issue and that there will be no outside antagon- isms brought into it. Under such conditions it seems probable that some kind of reform providing for an elastic currency will be adopted. Senator Gal- linger of New Hampshire in a recent speech at Con- cord declared positively that such legislation would be had. He is reported as saying: “Don't get dis- couraged. You are probably business men and feel the pinch of money, but I tell you that when we get back to Congress next November we will pass a cur- rency bill that will remove the pinch.” It is not yet possible to forecast what form of elasticity will be recommended by the committee of gle Senate that is now investigating the.subject. A new plan is reported to have been submitted to the committee and to have found favor with Senator Al- lison. A dispatch from Washington giving an count of it says: “The plan authorizes the issue ‘3 additional currency by national banks, up to 25 per to | HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, W 'MARRIED ! cent of the amount of their capital. On this the Gov- { ernment would place a tax of, say, 5 per cent per ,annum. Because of this tax banks would call for the . additional currency only in times of stringency. That fis, interest on loans would have to be higher than | 5 per cent to induce a bank to go to the expense of | issuing additional currency. As soon as interest | rates dropped below 5 per cent this currency would be retired automatically. The success or failure of i the plan depends upon the fixing of the tax. Its ad- | vocates who have made this a special study say that |5 per cent should be the rate. An issue of $200,000,- {000 of additional currency would be possible under the plan.” | That wide differences of opinion exist among the f advocates of reform has long been apparent. Could | those differences Have been harmonized we should have had the desired legislation at the last session, | for there can be no doubt that reform of some kind :\\'as advocated by a majority in-both houses. It is " to be presumed that agreement on the disputed points | will be reached during the summer and that the bill | to be reported by the Senate committee will have the | support of all who believe in an elastic currency at 'all. Otherwise it would not be easy to understand | why the reformers are so sanguine of success when | Congress meets in November. 2 | e —— | Wu Ting Fang, returned ta his native land after | services varied and brilliant as a diplomat in foreign | countries, is now in total political eclipse.

Or perhaps a few Chinese cuss words would fit the situation better. —— i CHAMBERLAIN'S CAMPAIGN. CCORDING to the Westminster Gazette the A executive committee of the London Liberal | | Federation has submitted to the council of | | ‘ the federation a report on the political situation, slos- | ing with the words: | “There can be no doubt that a | general election is imminent, and every Liberal as- sociation that is worthy of the name should be fully prepared with candidate, committee and programme before the present month may have expired.” It may be that the report is nothing more than an | effort to revive the zeal of the rank and file of the party by raising expectations that an election is at | hand, but there are evidences that the statement is not altogether an electioneering dodge. 'The issue raised by Chamberlain’s proposal for the establish- | ment of a protective tariff for the United Kingdom | has given rise to so keen an agitation that it is quite possible the Ministry may be forced to appeal to the country. It is true that Balfour is doing all he can | to hold his party together and to tide over the crisis by appointing a committee of inquiry ifto the in- | dustrial conditions of the time, but there are signs that the people will not be willing to wait for the committee to report. They desire to pass upon the issue themselves, and as public opinion has a large control over Parliament, the Ministry may be com- pelled to go to the country much sooner than it de- sires. o The Liberals, moreover, are not the only elements |'of the people who are preparing candidates, com- mittees and programmes for an immediate election in | | case one should be called. The supporters of Cham- | berlain are equally active. A recent dispatch from London says: “Enormous funds are being obtained from British sympathizers which wilk enable +Mr. Chamberlain’s candidates to be run in all constituen- cies where the Ministerialist is anti-Chamberlainite. Two hundred Ministerialists, thereforé, who have up to now been hesitating, are faced with the dilemma of having either to accept Mr. Chamberlain's pm-! posals or be opposed by Chamberlainite candidates, who have a good chance of slipping in between them | and the opposition candidates.” When the Liberals are ready and Chamberlain is | | | ready it will not be easy for Balfour to intervene and | | prevent an immediate conflict. Moreover, the issue is rapidly taking definite form. While neither Chamber- | lain nor any one else has presented the public with |2 specific programme of protection, showing to what | extent it is proposed to carry the new policy, the | | ceaseless discussion of the subject is gradually <and | surely bringing the question to one of economic prin- ciple. The Liberals will undertake to represent the | protection policy as a scheme to tax the food of the people. They have alrcady begun to term the pro- tectionists “dearloafers” and to insist that the Cham- berlain policy will increase the price of every loaf of bread consumed in the kingdom. On the other hand, | Chamberlain’s supporters are busily engaged in circu- lating statistics showing how British industry suffers under free trade and how work and wages would be increased under a protective system. The issue, then, appears to have been made up, | and the contending factions are rapidly forming for ithe struggle. Tt is therefore not improbable that the | executive committee of the London Liberal Federa- tion is right and that a general election is imminent. It may even come this fall. Professor Herrick of Chicago, who has shed his intellectual light upon the summer school at Berkeley, is said to be cynical, satirical and unmerciful to the teachers with whom he comes in contact.

F SEEKS TO SHUT A LOOPHOLE TO THE CHINESE ——— 1 A revolutionary proposition looking to- ward the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus without the constitutional cundi—‘ tion of martial law will be made by Unit- | ed States District Attorney Marshall B. Woodworth to United States District Judge de Haven on their return from their vacation. Judge de Haven will be asked to refuse to grant writs of habeu* corpus to Chinese immigrants claiming | to be natives and citizens of the United | States, unless it shall be shown that the Chinese bureau has denied a landing to | the applicants. This request will be made under instructions from the Treasury De- partment. During the recent visit to fhis city of | Frank P. Sargent, Commissioner General | of Immigration, it was found that cer-‘ tain attorneys engaged in the business of | landing Chinese through the bureau am!i’ the courts were in the habit of obtalning writs of habeas corpus for their clients before the officers of the Chinese bureau had an opportunity of examining. much less passing upon, the claims of the im- migrants. The object was to have the applicants taken to the County Jail and | coached. endar of United States Court Commis- sioner Heacock was incumbered with ha- beas corpus cases awaliting trial. In many of these cases, the subjects of which had been denied a landing, Judge Heacock found the documentary and other evidence without a flaw, and often gave expression to his surprise at the action of the Chinese bureau. A case in point was that of a Chinese girl claiming to be a native American returning to this country a short time ago. She had brought with her a “return certificate” made out here on her departure for Chi- na, bearing her ;photograph, her name and description gnd the seal of the bu- reau. It was admitted that the paper and the photograph were genuine, that the photograph was that of the applicant and that it had been placed upon the cer- tificate before the seal of the bureau had been impressed upon it. In other words, the girl had made out a clean cut ecase and Judge Heacock-so decided and al- lowed her to land. Chinese Inspector John Lynch was present on behalf of the bu- reau and on being interrogated by Assist- ant United States Attorney Duncan E. McKinlay as to the reason, if any, why the bureau had denied a landing, failed to glve any satisfactory reply. Such peculiar cases as this gave rise to a rumor several months ago that the bu- reau had decided to deny a landing to all immigrants claiming to be native Ameri- cans, no matter what their credentials, and to compel the immigrants to apply for writs of habeas corpus and thus throw the responsibility upon United States Court Commissioner Heacock. Unit- ed States Immigrant Commissioner Hart North, who has been in charge of the bu- reau since July 1, was asked as to the truth or falsity of the rumor and replied that there was no truth in it, so far as he was concerned. He said he had in- structed his deputy Chinese Inspector, Charles Meehan, to be very strict in en- forcing the provisions of the exclusion act and to require the best evidence in all cases. Mr. Meehan also denied the truth of the rumor. He stated that the cause for every denfal of an application | to land was marked on the records. In June of this year the bureau landed for- ty-two native-born Chinese and eleven in July, he said. The number of Chinese habeas corpus cases in Commissioner Heacock's court has become so large that the entire time of some one of the United States Dis- | trict Attorneys is taken up in their con- sideration. For this reason a recom- mendation has been made to the law de- partment that another Assistant United Btates Attorney be appointed to give his exclusive time and attentlon to Chinese cases coming under the exclusion act. The matter was brought to the attention of Commissioner General Sargent recent- ly and received his approval e s Senator Williams’ Successor. The vacancy in the United States Internal Revenue office, caused by the death of Senator George H. Willlams, has | been fllled by the appointment of G. G. | Boisson, Assemblyman from the Forty- | fifth Assembly District. 'Mr. Boisson had been a candidate for the position before Senator Willlams obtained it.
