MEXICO AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH.
Wice-President Mariscal of Mexico in the
independently

Though Mexico is Roman Catholic in
every fibre, she has firmly and determined
ly put the clergy out of politics and kept
them out. That caused the most severe
of all her struggles for Independence. It's
magnitude may be guessed wheE | say
that previous TO 1860 Il great part of the
cities of Mexico consisted of churches,
converts and other ecclesiastical struc-
lures, many of which have been convert
ed into libraries, stores, warehouses;, rae
tories, or applied to other useful pur-
poses. Previous to the triumph of the Lib
erals the Archbishop of Mexico received
$3.50, 600 per annum and could absolutely
make and unmake governments at his
pleasure. The Spanish high priests rolled
in wealth, while the native parish priests,
who did the real work of the church, were
in the depths of poverty.
When the Liberals triumphed they pass
ed the laws of reform which divided
church and State, and they contiscated all
church property. so that even the houses
of worship are now the property Of the
government. They also confined religious
ceremonies to ediices, and forbade special
religious instruction ia the public schools.
During the Spanish domination the Ro-
man Catholic religion was the only one
tolerated in the country. but later the con-
stitution Established freedom of VOL ships
and Protestant missionaries entered
the field. The ProtestantS claim
that they are making great gains
and that they have now about $4,000 COM
in~unicants, but thoughtful MeXicans be-
lieve that they are deceived by people who
seek them for the loaves and fishes. Prac-
tically the country is as Catholic as it ever
was. But his does not constitute the
danger to liberty hat it once did. Even the
most devout Catholics seem to have ac-
cepted the reforms in good faith, and the
influence of the Pope has been strongly
exercised for peace, reconciliation and the
healing of past differences. This has ma
turally strengthened the church as we'll
as the government.

viii form the basis Of a perfect dlstribu-
ton of telephone wires. They %undoubted-
ly had this in view when by reason of the
teccnt installation of the under-trolley
they took advantage of the opening OF The
streets to lay an elaborate and extensive
system of conduit.
Admission is made by responsible men
who have been identified with certain in
dependent telephone corporations that
they are in negotiation with Mr.. Whitney
and his friends looking for A satisfactory
basis for the absorption of their COM
ranies by the Whitney company. 1t is
also authocitatively announced that ar-
rangements that reed only formal sigma.
lures have been made by which a long
distance service between New York and
Boston can be secured. As there is no
doubt that some of those who are heavily
interested in the ocean cables and in the
telegraph companies are also associated
with Mr.. Whitney, the impression Is that
this new organization Is to be in sym
pathetic alliance with the telegraph cor
roratlons and some of the cable COM
panics.
It is long distance telephoning that this
new corporation undoubtedly has in view.
But in order to perfect a system
that will return a reasonable profit it will
DO necessary to construct n plant that
viii practically connect all the larger
cities and towns of the United States. re
do this will require an enormous outlay
Of capital, so that the cost would be pro-
h%ihitive, except to such a group as Is as
sCciated with Mr.. Whitney. Beside that.
1t Is reasonable to presume that the eX-
