such men as compose the Waldeck-
Rousseau ministry. Yet we cannot
help admiring their audacity in the
lace of 35,O00000 Catholics, who alone
keep them in power. Father Phelan
presents the correct estimate of the
present ministry when he says it is the
longest-lived in the history of the re-
public and the one that deserved to
be the shortest. 1.-THE premier is
trickster; the secretary of war is a
man devoid of the qualities either OF a
gentleman or a soldier: the head OF
the army is a puppet the secretary OF
commerce a forceur in society as in
the political clubs. Yet with this me-
nagerie behind him this man, Waldeck-
Rousseau, has succeeded in keeping
himself in power longer than the giants
that preceded him; simply because he
always managed in a crisis to arouse
the clergy to some overt act of hos
ulity, and then to unite all opposition
in the common defense of the country
against clericalism. All he had to do
was to wave the black soutaine and
all the bulls of the opposition began
to paw.
I'VE feared year ago that the
Catholics of France would finally come
together and overthrow the republic
1t looked as if further endurance of
the hated regime of insolent intidelity
were impossible. We deprecated it; as
We knew that no government brought
about by the clergy would endure in
France, and the work of the revolu-
ton would some day have to be done
over again. The clergy never yet made
good politicians; and the religious or
ders were always freaks as law-givers
for the world. Happily, our forebod-
ings turned out false. The elections
that have been held during the past
year have convinced us that the re-
public has nothing to fear from the
sacristy. That being the case, wisdom
should dictate that the priest should
disappear entirely from the political
field in France and leave the moral
and social regeneration of the country
to the people who are most interested
in its government. There can be no
lasting political reform that does not
begin with the people and is not bound
up with the aspira lions of the people.
We are glad the Pope has taken this
decided stand and feel sure that now
his orders will be needed, The arch
bishop of Paris. one of the most pro-
nounced of reactionaries, has sounded
the retreat of the clerical forces in
Paris, and the other bishops will re-
echo the command. The Church of
France will retire from politics at the
beginning of the twentieth century to
enter it no more forever"

Dealing With Trusts.

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE sent out
letter some days ago to a num-
Der of editors of newspapers of a
representative type, asking them what
they considered the best method of
dealing with the trust question. and
particularly whether they endorsed the
suggestion made by President Roose-
welt in an important speech. In this
speech Mr.. Roosevelt said:
More and more it is evident that
the state, and if necessary the nation.
has got to possess the right of super
vision and control as regards the great
corporations which are it's creatures,
particularly the great business corpora
tions which derive a portion of their
Importance from the existence of some
monopolistic tendency"
twenty-five answers have been re-
ceived and published, with the sigma
lures of the writer's, all but two or
three being western editors. Nearly all
the writer's heartily concur with Mr..
Roosevelt's suggestion, although some
of them think that a constitutional
amendment will be necessary to meet
the requirements of the case. Thus the
editor of the Dubuque Qa.) Times
CRep), thinks that only the federal
government can deal with the ques-
ton satisfactorily, and that it must
have more power than it now possesses
in order to do so. He adds that this
t.
derson. Several of the writer's express
the opinion that the trusts ought to
be under federal supervision in the
same way that the national banks are,
and that they should be subjected to
similar examination and publicity.

Frederick Harrison has been saying
some unpleasant things to his fellow
countrymen. If he reflects well the
sentiments of the people, the present
war and its remote causes do not fur
nish much food for cheerful reflection.
He writes: "In all the fifty-two years
of my memory of public affairs I recall
no time which has filled men of right
mind with anxiety and pain so deep as
the present. We have a cruel, chrome
war, which can end only in genera
tions of bitterness and strife. Parlia-
mentary government has become the
scorn of the civilized world. Our cher
ished principles of military service and
financial economy have been repudi-
ated. Industrial decline and disaster
are imminent The public tone is sink
ing into a low kind of vulgar material
ism The ministers of every religion
almost but one are encouraging much
that is inhuman, coarse and immoral
We still are in the crazy mood of the
Oriental tyrant who would not treat
for peace. but was bent on subjuga-
ton. which can only mean the exter-
or the transposition of an
entire nation

Hartford. COnn-James j. Quinn. q

Rev Walter ]. Stanley, rector of ST.
Joseph's Cathedral of this city of hay
ing started the trouble by complaining
to the supreme officers of the frater-
nifty that Mr.. Quinn was a member of
the knights Of Pythias, which is under
the ban of the Church. Mr.. Quinn
handed his resignation last night To
Grand knight John F. Callahan of
Hartford Council. He says:
Some time ago / was officially in
formed that charges had been pre-
ferred against me. Tt was alleged that
] had become a member of the Knights
of Pythias and consequently was unfit
to remain a member of the Knights OF
Columbus The author of these
charges was Rev. Walter J. STANLEY
of this city. A little later 1 was off
ciauy informed that 1 had been suS-
pended by the Supreme knight of the
order for failure to pay my dues i'm
strict compliance with the rule of the
order. The member of the national
body from Hartford informed me that
the charges aforesaid were the real
reason for my suspension, and that
the question of dues was only a sur
face reason.
Within a few days l have been in
formed that charges will be preferred
against the grand knight and secre-
tary of this council if / am continued
on the rolls of Hartford Council, and
further. if Hartford Council insists on
keeping me in good standing, the char
ter of Hartford Council will be re-
vOked'
Mr. Quinn says he is unwilling to
involve the council, and consequently
withdraws. although he has property
interests at stake in the insurance
fund of the order, and he protests
against being "railroaded out of the
order by snap judgment" because he
Joined the Knights of Pythias.
This act of Mr.. Quinn's is practically
a self accommodation. He is
brother Of Rev. John j. Quinn, a we'll
known priest of this diocese. now OF
Taftville Father Stanley was out OF
town today, but Bishop Tierney said
that, while he knew nothing of the
case of Mr.. Quinn, no Roman Catholic
could remain a member of secret or
der under the ban of the Church, and
at the same time remain member oil

New Light on the Borgias.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH is not of
necessity, deeply concerned in the
rehabilitation of the Borgias. The
Papacy will stand even if it remains
Yeternally proven that Alexander VI was
sixteenth-century man of the world,
rather than an exotic. The heroic sane
tity of Francisco de Borgia is sufficient
proof that the family tree was not en-
tirely rooted in degeneracy, and the
conflicting stories of the public needs
and private habits of Alexander make
it quite possible that we shall have
yet to- revise our notions Of the moral
character of this great, if t good.
Pontiff, says the Catholic Transcript.
Enemies he had, bitter and rerfidi-
Gus. He lived in an age whose ideals
were not those of the twentieth CEN
fury. Money was then a mighty rover.
1t could marshal slanderers as well as
eulogists. 1t worked FOR and against
the great. And malignity itself has
been unable to invalidate Alexander's
title to greatness. He has been assaiIed
by Catholics and defended By Vol
taire. He was as able as he was am
bilious. and one Pope at least ranked
him among the very greatest Of those
who had succeeded to the Throne of
the Fisherman.
The Chronicles of the House of Bor-
gia, volume fresh from the pen of
Frederick Baron Corvo, makes it clear
enough that there is very little truth
in the worst accusations brought
against that family of notable men and
women. The Borgia women were neitn-

THE PoPF,s ADMoN1rroN.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish is
perpetual mission. Let all who truly and
from their souls desire that Religion and
society defended by human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their
liberality to guard and protect the
Catholic press. and let every one in pro-
his money and influence, for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps of this kind. without which their
industry will either have no results OF
uncertain and miserable ones.

have witnesses, the most competent

knowledge, of existing conditions in
the Archipelago is more visionary than
real. What we accept today for faet

eraI plan of the series is carried out IN
this volume. There are forty-three
beautiful half-tone reproductions Oh
the great paintings and two element
airy maps. The book is intended Tor use
in the fourth grade of an eight-grade
school 1t consists practically of the
history of the Old Testament inter-
woven with the catechism- AS is proper
in so low a grade the children are not
troubled with dates and chronology.
The chief events of the Bible are told
in such a way as to inrSrest the pupils
and what is most important are told
in the words of the Bible. a pronounc-
ing dictionary of proper names is
found at the end of the book. 1t may
be an experiment in certain schools to
introduce the Bible stories in so ele-
mentary grade. but the experience
and recommendations of the great cat
echists are that the Bible history
should be made the basis of all reli-
gious instruction. The fourth grade
does not aim to take the place of the
regular Bible histories adopted for the
more advanced pupils; it is rather
