No Papal Mediation.
great organization of Masonry?
Unwarranted and sensational “news”
has done some harm again in connec-
tion with the proposed mediation of the
Pope between Spain and Cuba, says
the New York Tribune. The statement
has been put forth that President Mc—

thoughtful man must have known it
from the beginning. Yet not a few
took it seriously, and based upon it
criticisms of the President and protests
against his policy. It was the old
story of first making a man of straw
and then attacking him. Usually such
a performance provokes only derision.
At such a time as this it is somewhat
more deplorable.
. The fact is, of course, that there was
never the slightest thought of either
making such a request or of accepting
such mediation. It would be manifest-
ly unfair to ask the Pope to mediate
between two parties whose relations to
him are 30 different. ‘It is difficult to
see how his duty to his religion and to
himself could allow him to exercise en-
tire impartiality between a nation that
is. almost unanimously Catholic. and
that maintains Catholicism as its State
religion and bases its sovereign’s au-
thority upon the sanction of the Catho-
lic church, and one that is Overwhelm-
ingly Protestant—in his view heretic——
and that recognizes no State religion.
it is not supposable that the Pope
would undertake such a task. It is
certain the United States Government
would never ask him to do so, nor agree
to having his performance of it imposed
upon this country.
Such mediation would, moreover,vio—
~iatevme fundamental principle of arbi—
tration and of common justice. There
is no principle better established than

by the principle of temporal sover—

accrediting an Ambassador to his court.
But whatever respect this Government
may have for the Pope as a man and as
the spiritual head of one of the great-
est and most ancient of Christian
churches, it does not enter into politic-
al relations with him as an independent
' sovereign and as its diplomatic peer.
That fact alone wouldentirely bar such
