WATSON RAIDS RELIGION.
The Georgia Populist Urges Orcau-
ization Against Catholics.

Atlanta, Ga, July Tom Watson has
caused a great stir among the Catholics
by an editorial ent tied a Good Catho-
hc," in which he defends the position OF
the A. p. A. Society Several Catholic
newspapers have printed the article for
tn information of their readers, an they
have accompanied it with caustic ediJo-
rials. The Freeman Journal, in an edi-
torial, serves notice on Mr.. Watson that
If ne ever runs FOR a national office again
there viii be three million Catholic votes
against him.
Mr. Watson meets the Catholic assault by
al onslaught on their church, which is
plainly indicative of his intention 10 make
the national conference in Nashville an
A. Z. A demon stTation. 1t shows that
the future Of his wing OF the Populisjs will
be cast along that line. Mr.. Watson says
The difference between one Church II
ganization and another may be a matter OF
extreme political Importance, and We can
not understand how any student, con
vcrsant with political history, can be in
different to the peculiar hierarchy OF the
Catholic Church. No other church organ
izatiOn claims and exercises the right to
say what books it's members shall read:
10 other church openly takes part i'm po-
litical affairs; no other church sends aud
receives ambassadors; no other church holds
court at which royal ceremonial is ob-
served, embassies from foreign govern
p2ents received, and far-reacling questions
OF international policy debated and de
cided There is not a government OF the
civilized world at whose capital the Cath
olic Church is not represented by a resi-
dent representative. No question of ma
ticnal policy. which may directly or indi
rectly affect the Catholic Church, is lie
cIded until the Pope has been heard from.
Throughout the civilized world run the
threads OF papal diplomacy, and the most
prominent feature OF recent political
progress has been the wonderful success OF
Catholic craftsmanship.
Built upon this ia an article Of two col
umns. Mr.. watson goes on to urge the
necessity OF Protestants organizing 20 re
sSt Catholic aggressons and declares his
purpose TO devote his energies to that
cause.

TIRED OF TARIFF TALK.
Senator's Anxious to Come to a Vote
on the Bill.


The prevailing desire among Senators
regardless of party affiliaticD. is TO reach
a vote Saturday Afternoon upon the tariff
till. it seems probable that tie measure
can then be disposed of; but, OF oCuIse, in
a lsp,lv where there il no means Of limiting
debate, and there is no telling when
firebrdnd may be thrown to excite the
Senator'S IL is not safe TO nal Ike predictions.
The understanding is that If vote cannot
I've had on Saturday, Mr.. Allison will Ell
deavor to fix time, and the belief is he
VIII ask that the final vote he taken at 4
O'clock either on Tuesday or Wednesday
Of next week.
1t is expected that considerable friction
i'll arise when the bill goes to conferen oe,
owing to the changes made by the Senate
in the original House provisions. Then,
again, a great deal of pressure will lie
brought to bear by certain Influences to
obtain favors. The manuf acturers OF
grain bags and of cotton bagging, as
well as those who control the cotton tIeout-
put. have their agents here trying to pre-
vent these articles from going on the free
list
The Wilson bill was in conference about
six weeks. 1t is hardly probable, however,
that more than two weeks Will be re-
quired to adjust the differences in the
tending measure.
