Editorial Opinion of the Leading Journals upon Current Topics Compiled Every Day for the Evening Telegraph. PAPAL SPOLIATION PROTESTS Of ENGLISII-SPEAKINU CATHOLICS. Front the .V. '. Herald. Such a spectacle as was witnessed on Sun day in tins city and Philadelphia was alto gether unprecedented in the history of the republic; and although the notion of the Ijondon Caiholica at the same time' was not without precedent, it was performed with a measure uf vigor and boldnem unknown to Catholicism in England since the great struggle between opposing religions idea ended with the triumph of the Pro testants in the British Islands. The day was, in fine, rendered memorable by the pro tests then offered, by English-speaking Citho lirw, against the forcible seizure of the Pope's temporal domains by the Government of King Victor Emanuel. For close reasoning and hard logic the protest of the Archbishop of Westminster is remarkable. We have heard the jnstif cation of the Italian authorities for the seizure of Home, sod we now hear it attacked by Catholios. Undeniably the ques tion is a grave one, containing problems insol uble to the ordinary intelligence, but the solu tion of which is as much a necessity to the Catholic world as it is to the social and politi cal future of Italy. The Archbishop of West minster argues with great farce against what he terras the "sacrilegious" spoliation of the Papaoy. He reviews tho question from all points of view, religions, social, and political, and his conclusions are naturally against the act of King Victor Emanuel. If hi3 argament is even not incontestable, it is at leastjerititled to respectful and thoughtful consideration as embodying the views of those who adhere to the doctrine that the temporal despondence of the Pope is inconsistent with his office of Vicegerent of God on earth. But the protest of the Euglish Archbishop was, perhaps, of less significance than the protests of the Catholics of New York and Philadelphia, because in these cities they came from the laity almost without interme diate agency. Every Catholic church in this city was densely thronged to listen to and to approve the address to the Pope, prepared, it is said, by Mr. Charles O'Conor, himself an eminent American Catholic, protesting against tho seizure of Home. It is note worthy that at one church St. Joseph's the pastor, Rev. Father Farrell, was the only person who objected to any part of the pro test, and although his objections were merely to the wording, and were of much foroe, they were voted down by his congregation with marked unanimity. In Philadelphia the move ment was not so general; nevertheless thirty thousand Catholics assembled in and around the Cathedral and protested against the "Ita lian usurpation." Whatever be the effect of these protests, their moral and religious significance cannot be denied and should not be underrated. We have no apprehensions that American Catho lics will ever be called upon to aid, by force of amis, to replace Pius IX on the Papal throne, nor are we at all sanguine that they would respond to any such call if it were made. Our age is too civilized for such a thing as a religions war. But there is a moral fact in the protests which is unmistakable. It is that the Catholics of the United States and of England entertain the liveliest affection and veneration for the Pope; that they believe that the cause of the Christian religion imperatively de mands that the head of their Church be tem porally independent of all earthly rulers. The aliicrity with which they responded to the summons to protest and the unanimity with vhich they protested demonstrate the unity of their minds on this, the most profound, exciting, and important religious topio ot the day. And we may say, without off ering any opinion as to their merits or de merits, that the protests, made as they were, prove that the materialism of the age has not usurped the place of the religions sentiment of humanity to as great an extent as is popu larly supposed. . NEW YORK HOTELS. I'rtm the X. V. World, The transformation which has just been effected of the Astor House, long the recog nized paragon of strictly "American" hotels, into a hotel "on the European plan," is an event in New York life not unworthy of atten tion. The very name of this famous hostelry is rich with memories and associations. The Astor House was the wonder of foreigners who visited our shores at a time when upper Broadway was an experiment, and beyond Madison square the British tourist sought with tremulous eye-glass to discover the tracks of the herded bison and the moccasined Dela ware. From its imposing portal Captain Marryat surveyed the new world which the Yankee had made in but little more than six days, and pronounced it "very bad." Its parlors have witnessed the weaving of many a mar vellous web of political intrigue; the unweav iDg, too, of many a web so woven. Its walls are haunted with the echoes of voices once all potent on the forum and in the councils of the nation silent now forever. It was the favorite resort of the "planets of past days," of Webster and of Clay, and of the busy lights which circled, gleaming, twinkling, Hashing, about those "steady lires." What the old Cock-Tavern of Fleet street was to London, ere time's impartial foot bad spurned it to the ground, the Astor House still is to Broadway, preserving for Americans, as did that for Englishmen, some genial recollec tion of 'The tavern boura of mighty wits, Our elders and our betters.'' And now the Astor House, the grand old American model from which so many hun Ureds of other hotels throughout both conti nents have borrowed hints and takensugges- tions, ceases, not to be indeed, but to be an American notei. its table a note gives way to the dinner a la carte; and, reversing what the poet kings of the progress of the world, within its walls the family henceforth withers, the individual is more and more .' This change bears a striking witness to the upward now of New xoxs. lite, lhe enormous eon centration of business interests around and below the City Hall and the Post Office yet to be, for loDg years still, no doubt, will make it necessary that a oteI of the first class should exist where the Astor House now stands. But it must exist for the travellers of business chiefly rather than for the travel lers of pleasure for them who nit through the great metropolis upon their occasions rather than for them who sojourn in it for thc-tr amusement. Meanwhile it is to be noted that even with our np-town hotels, and for the classes which supply permanent rather than transient ftxusts for our caravansaries, the question between (be two systems the European, m we not quite oonectly call it. and the Ameri can baa by no rueaua been settled. That the table d'hote or American System is best adapted, if on'y it be judiciously and grace lully administered, to the titnte and temper of our pet pie, maybe held, we suppose, to be proved by the unrivalled popularity and reputation of such hotels as the Astor House in its palmy days, or of "Co.zms," at West Point when the gigantic commander of the American armies dispensed decorum and the laws of whist with autocratic grandeur on its ample piarza, or of the New York Hotel, when "Mr. Cranston's salads" found their way to immortality through the pages of JJlack irood't Mabazine. But this system depends for its permaneul success, and for any suc (f 88 at all of the Ingest grade upon the per sonal qualities of the host. Ik is given to but few men to hit the precise tone which shall preserve the self-respect of the host and con ciliate the friendly good-will of the guest, and by so doing infust into the atmosphere of a modern hotel all that made Shonstons say, a century ago, of the road-life of his own day: "He that hm travelled life's dull rount, Where.'er his Journey may have haeu, Mutt sigh to tnlnk he still has found bis warmest welcome at an Ian." Until some manageable transition c;in be effected from the wasteful and costly single house life of onr more prosperous classes into a brighter and more economical way of house keeping, this question of hotels and how to keep them will hold a foremost place among our social problems. The "European plan" hits the need of the hour in one direction, and subordinates the question of who keeps the house to the question of how it is kept. The "American plan" can only hit the need of the hour in the other direction, when the question of how the house is kept is co-ordinated with the question of who keeps it. From the business point of view that favorite popular character, "the man who knows how to keep a hotel," may not seldom be found. From the social point of view he is more rare. For from that point of riew tho only man who really "knows how to keep a hotel ' is the man who knows how to make other men really williDg to live in a hotel. THE PROPOSED CONGRESS. From the A. J. Tribune. There seems no sufficient reason to doubt that a general congress of the European powers will soon meet in London, all the principal Governments having signified their readiness to take part in it; and there is a confident expectation in some quarters that the conference will attempt not only a solu tion of the Eastern question, but a general resettlement of all the great problems of European politics. The course of events, however, during the present generation has made the settlement of the existing interna tional difficulties of the Old World by means of a conclavo of plenipotentiaries a well nigh hopeless task, and there are obvious reasons why the congress may think it wiser to con fine its deliberations to the opening of the Black Sea and certain matters immediately connected with that measure rather than to embarrass itself by starting a multiplicity of issues which it cannot permanently close. The mischievous theory of tho balance of power was the main spring of the former confer ences. It was virtually assumed that every State was the absolute property of the sove reign, and every sovereign had a natural ten dency to increase his possessions -at the ex pense of his neighbors. The doctrine of the balance of power was a system of checks and balances designed to keep these tiniuly kings in order. No people must be allowed to de velop itself too rapidly, and national growth, by any process whatsoever, was a menace to the peace of the world which must be checked, even at the cost, if necessary, of war. But graduallya diff erent view of the rights and con fetitution of sovereign States has come into vogue. The most absolute of governments have recognized the peoplo as the ultimate di rectors of national policy, and virtually ac knowledged them to be the channel of political power. . A State is no longer, as it used to be, the estate ot the sovereign, but an association of the people for tho promotion of their common interests. When Victor Emanuel achieved the unity of Italy, he did it merely as the agent of the popular will of the Italians, lhe great powers which, a genera tion ago, assumed authority -to cut and carve the whole of Europe with reference purely to dynastic interests and balances, and in total disregard of the wishes of the people whom they transferred from ruler to ruler. jnst as Russian proprietors used to transfer the serfs with the land, never ventured to pro test when half a dozen smajl States were wiped out and half a dozen consecrated rulers sent into exile because their subjects preferred to unite under the house of Savoy. When Napoleon III made war upon Germany, he did it, so he tells us, in obedience to the wishes of his people. When Bismarck demands the surrender of Alsace and Lorraine, he does it in the name of the German nation, of whose will he pretends to be merely the mouthpiece; and if it could be established that the inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine wanted to be transferred from France to Germany, nobody in these days could logi cally object to bis demand. . Great Britain surrendered the Ionian Islands to Greeoe be cause the islanders wished to nnite with those who were really their countrymen, and we are not without hope that as the world grows more reasonable she will see the justice of letting Ireland choose her own rulers. Even the autocrat of all the Raasiaa assigns as a reason for abrogating a part of the treaty of Paris that "the national sentiment protests" against its further observance; and this ap peal to the people, coming from such a source, is one of the most significant passages in Prince Gortschakoff s remarkable despatch. It follows from this general acknowledg ment of the validity of popular aspirations that wars to maintain the "balance of power" must be abandoned in practice. A nation which contains the elements of growth must no longer be checked with the iron bands of treaty-stipulations or trimmed and dwarfed with the sharp tools of war. The old idea that great and vigorous Mates should be con fined within certain arbitrary limitations of strength for fear lest they should overshadow their neighbors, is like the ancient fashion of landscape gardening, whose highest triumph was turning a stately yew into a fantastic shrub, or crowding a tree into a nower-pot All these absurd attempts to distort and fetter nature ongbt to be abandoned together. Ger many, Russia, and Italy are, as far as we can discern, the great growing powers of Europe, and any efforts- to dwarf them by European Coneresses wm be vain and preposterous What is there then for the conference at Loudon to do, except to remove the restric tions which were placed upon the Czar after the Crimean war, and which he has declared that he will no longer observe, congress or no congress? If Piushis.Tjt peaoef ul mea sure, can attract to the reviving German empire the separated German subjects of Austria, no congress oan logically interfere to prevent her. If Italy has combined in one monarchy populations whioh have long bean kept apart against her will, it is uot in the province of a congress to any that the new national nnion shall be broken up. If Austria baa possibilities of development in her Eastern provinces, what business have the representatives of England, France, Spain, and Prussia to say thus far ahalt thou set thy foot, and no farther ? If a oongresa indeed could gua rantee to the people of the weaker powers an immunity from lawless conquest, it would do a noble and humane work; but guarantees of this sort have little meaning now that wars for supporting the balance of power, have fallen into disrepute. The plenipotentiaries in London may facilitate the resurrection of France by intervening between the con quered and the conqueror, and may quiet uneasy minds by demanding pledges of mod eration from the Czar; but its real work will only be to ratify established fact, and no agreement which it may make for the fnture is likely to impede the inevitable march of events, to save the tottering empire of Turkey, or to embarra.sfl for a single decade the two great powers whose progress now alarms the whole of Europe. Compacts like the Paris Treaty of 1S.C are only made to be broken.
