The Report Of The Senate Committee On

ioreigu relations recorumending the recognition of Cuban independence aDd affirming the right of the United States to iiiterveno in the case is a masterly document in its historie surnming up of the situation. It disposes in the beginning of those European countries that are inclined to' grumble at what they cali the insolence of the United States in presuming to interfere between Spain and Cuba. It shows that in four instances, bcgiuning with the establishment of the kingdomof Greece in 1827, the powers of Europe have intervened in connection vfith the formation of independent nations, and at various times in a Jargo nurnber of cases where other points aro concerned. A European nation claims emphatioally for itsclf the right to iuterveno in the affairs of another nation whenever the situatinn "tends tocndanger its own eafetyor thepoliticalequilibrium on its frontier." This being the case, there is as much reason today why the United States shouJd intervene to stop tho Cnban war as there is for the powers of Europe to interfere in oase of the Tnrkish atrooities in Armenia. It is merely jealousy of the United States that prompts ;he growl of Europe over a proposod line of action which any one of them would not hesitate a moment to take for nerseu nnaci iiKe circumstances. The politica] eqnilibrinm on our frontier is at this moment seriously endangered, our cotnmerce is suffering grievous losses, the rights of American oitizena iu Cuba are disregarded and their property is rxiined, their lives meanwhile beiug daily endangered. What would a Europeau power do? It was a curious soene in a London church when Rev. Edward Browiijohn rose and publicly mado nu unbeeded protest ogainst the confirrcation of Rev. Frederiok Temple as arch bishop of Canterbnry. Rev. Brownjohu's protest was made on the ground that Mr. Temple aocepted the Darwinian theory of evolntion, which was contrary to the Book of Common Prayer. It appears that the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer had come to assumeinMr. Brownjohn's mind the authority and importance of the Bible itself.
