The section Of French Catholics who hold fast
to the old strictness of spirit, is represented By
the CHres, which was formerly conducted by
that most versatile politician with brilliant but not
profound talent, Moptslembtrt. Under Louis Phi.
lippe this paper inclined rather to support III IN op
pose the government, but since the February Re-
volution it has become more and more ostile TO
liberty and the popular spirit. 1t is, we think, the
only daily, in which religion is professedly made
more prominent then any other subject. Its crca.
alton cannot bo less than 5,OoO and ia probably
more.
There is large body Of French Catholics who
have adopted the principles Of democracy, and aim
at reconciliDg the progressive spirit oSthe agS 18th
the dogmas of the Church. These men are tho
SUCCESSORS of The Lsmennas and Montsembert Of
former times and accordingly have now, or rather
had two years ago, no very intimate sympathy
with either of those distinguished men. After
February they established the Ere Nonpeile which
for some time wac edited by Father Lacordalre,
the eloquent pulpit orator whose discourses have
often crowded Notre Dame to its utmost capacity.
Tbi, journal deduced Repub icsnl'm from the New
Testament and the principles oil the Church It also
nublisbed MANY excellent articles on the condition
of the DOOR, its life was, however, not long onei
il ceased TO exist if We mistake not, rather more
than year ago.
Next in eye to the Gazette de France is the
Journal des Debats, which was begun Aug ~,
17e9. After the 18th Brumsire Nov 9, 1892 il
passed into the bands Of Louis francois Berlin.
known as Berlin the Elder in whose family 1t still
remains. Berlin, when he began was opposed to
Napoleon and soon had to escape to Italy Ia order
to keep out Of prison. He came back IN 1904 and
resumed the paper under the title Of Journal de
Emrire. He was forced by the police To receive
Fieyee as an editor in whose hands the paper was
little more than an official organ. 1t W" during
this time that Geofroy's feOiletons gave sOlarse
