fruit growers along the line of the rail
road and on the coast to furnish to this
company their entire crops. The steam
ers are to ply direct between Puerto Cor
tez and New Orleans-malzing the trip
in three and half days, saving of one

THE POPE AND FRENCH CATHOLICS
A Striking Document Pertaining to the
Republics Future.

n STRIKING bOcumenb feftainihS 20 the
Republics Future.
PARIS, May 26.-The Paris edition of
the New York Herald Wednesday con-
tanned very important document, the
author of which is person of high
standing in the French Catholic party.
The document is a complete history of
the late Catholic congress, and the
the Catholics refusing to recognize
the pope's right to interfere in French
politics. Indeed, the relations be-
tween the holy see and the Catho-
lies We're so strained that the congress
did not return thanks for the papal bene-
diction which was sent ON the under
standing that the Catholics assembled
at the congress would recognize the ne
cessity of laying down the arms which
they had taken up against the republic.
Moreover at the official breakfast with
which the congress was closed the lead
ers of the Catholic party refused to pro-
pose the time-honored toast in honor of
the pope, and it was an obscure Catholic
who finally proposed the toast.
This attitude of the congress toward
the pope is emphasized in striking man
ner by what took place Tuesday at the
meeting of young Catholic societies at
GrenOble.
M. DE Nun, the leader of the Right in
the chamber of deputies an eminent or
ator, an OK captain of cuirassiers and an
organizer after the war of Catholic
leagues in France, renounced his allie
glance to the old party because it refuses
to obey the orders of the pope. He then
declared his submission to the orders of
Leo, and Conjurcd all the young French
Catholics who are unshackeled by any
ties to the past to abandon their hostile
attitude toward the government and to
work heart and soul for the success of
the pope's policy
This pronunciamento breaks the bond
that has hitherto existed between the
papaCy and the French royalists. More
over the young French Catholics have
come forward ms an opposition party,
with which the government will have to
reckon, unless ii speedily abandons its
trickery and its ridiculous prosecutions
Before ten years are over all France will
have become republican and the repub-
lie will have proved itself to be indie
struCtible.

NOT THEIR COLOR,
But the Crimes of Which They
Have Been Guilty,
The Cause of the Lynching OF
So Many Negroes.

Bishop Fitzgerald, of the Methodist
Church, Says 1t Seems to BE Forgotten
That Whites and Blacks Are Lynched
in All Parts of the United States for
Similar Crimes.
ATLANTA, May Bishop Fitzgerald,
the southern Methodist chairman, says,
with reference to the lynching of
negroes in the south: "With regard to
this question two or three things must
be said. First, that the unspeakable
crime for which they are lynched out
laws the perpetrators, Whether white or
black, in every part of the United States.
Frequent lynchings have occurred from
time to time in the north, but they ap-
pear to be forgotten entirely. The white
man in the south who is guilty of the
crime meets an awful doom as swiftly as
does the black man. 1t is notable that
in all the spasms of Indignation against
the southern people because of these
lynchings no word of sympathy has been
spoken for the white women who were
their victims"
