Government Will See that Its
Rights are Respected.


PARIS. December 10.-In the Senate
yesterday. NJ. Dide. who Is a Protestant
clergyman, interpellated the government
ON the attitude sof the Catholic bishops.
He described the bishops as attacking the
laws Of the republic and working to estab-
lish the temporal power OF the Papacy and
the priests as evading every obligation Of
the Concordat. 1t was high time. he ad-
ded. that the government put stop 10
such anarchy.
NJ. Goblet advised the government to pave
the way for the separation Of church ana
state by legislation giving further control
to public worship.
NJ. Fallieres. minister OF justice and pub
lie worship, replied TO the Interpolation.
He SAID that the government favored a
policy OF appeasement. rhs provisions OF
the C0neordat were amply sufficient to re-
call the clergy to sense OF the respect
they owe the constitution. Should these
provisions prove inadequate, however, the
government would ask parliament 10 au-
thoriza other measures.
Premier DeFreyeinet said that the atti-
tude Of certain bishops was truly unsup-
portable. fhe government would never
allow II to be said that prelates were not
under the authority Of the executive Ia
temporal matters.
