LONDON, Sept. 20th.--There is an
uneasy feeling that Lord Beaeons-
fields Indian policy will result in
war with Afghanlstan and the re-
opening of the whole Eastern ques-
tion. 1t is not generally believed
that the Russians will evacuaie
Bulgaria as stipulated, or that
Greece will peacefully submit to
Turkeys noncompliance with its
demand.
French Kepnbiieaa Programm".
PARIS, Sept. 2Oth.-Gambetta's
speech at Rouen contains the
complete political programme of
the Left, which includes the dis
missal of the anti Republican
functionaries, the reorganization of
( the army, flOm which politicians
shall be excluded, but where the
law must be respected, even by
those in highest command, the abb
olition of the favoritism now shown
the ultramontanes and the exclu-
sion of all citizens from the priest
hood until they have reformed
military duty. Each point of the
pEOSratutue was cuihusia5ticaiiy
cheered.
9ambstta's speech.
PARIS, Sept. 20th.-The follow
ing is the text of portion of
Gambetta's speech: The clerical
question-that is to say, the ques-
ton OF the relations between
church and state-keeps all other
questions In suspense. Here it is
that the spirit of the church takes
refuge and gathers strength. I de-
nounce 1t as an increasing danger
to society. This runs from the
Ultramontane spirit, the. spirit of
theVatican, of the Syllabus, which
is nothing bat an abuse of ignor-
ance, with the purpose of enslav-
ing it. I have spoken of tho rela.
tions between the church and
state. am perfectly aware that.
to be correct, / should have said
the relations between the churches
and the state; but from a govern.
mental and national point OF view,
it is only Ultramontanism which
persists in opposition to the state.
The clerical spirit endeavors to
filtrate everything into the army.
into the magistracy, and there is
this that is peculiar IN it, it is al
ways when the fortunes OF the
country are falling that Jesuitism
rises. Far be it from me to wish
TO put shackles on liberty. 1 am
an obstinate partiztn of liberty of
conscience, but the ministers of
religion have duties to the State,
and what we exact is the fulfill
ment of these duties. Apply the
laws, all the laws, and then abol-
ish indulgence. If the law is APP
piled order will he restored in
France. without persecution,
by simply continuing the ira
ditions which prevailed from the
aurora Of the revolution in 1889 till
the last glimmer of the revolution
in 1913. They were not abandoned
till IN December. Mitraleurs and
those who blessed mitraleurs COM
bined privileges on behalf of the
power of these men. They live on
public credulity alone. Yes, every
one must be subject to common
law. Obligatory service must be
made u reality. Vocatious must
only be allowed after the first of
all vocations, that of serving the
fatherland, has been fulfilled.
The Republican papers of Paris
generally give unqualified adhe-
sion to Gambetta's definition of the
party's program
lie Journai Des Debats, Leon
Says organ, agrees with his object,
but not entireIy with his
choice of means. lie Temps also
makes some reservations. The
Catholic press regards the speech
as u declaration of war against
Catholicism The Conservatives
generally criticise the speech
keenIy and several of them express
the opinion that Gambetta is try
ing TO run with the Radicals and
hold with Opportunists at the
same time. The speech, however,
has created profound impression
in all political circles.
