dangerous.
1T Is just and right that men are
given the liberty to gather neaceably
as long as this right is only given tc
adults.
1T is right that we should have free
dom OF the press. because Journalists
address citizens In possession Of their
reason; but when 1t comes to free
dom OF instruction limitation is neces-
sary, because teachers address children,
end children have no right to liberty"
Speaking of the possibility of the fall
OF the ministry, NJ. Pelietan said that
personally he would be only too happy
to be forced out to give room for the

or his old modesty nothing seems to
be left, and Nine. Pelletan is said to be
very ambitious.
The anti clerical policy of the pres
ent French government, as advocated
by Nj. onlbe is causing serious trou-
bles in all parts of France.
The actual removal of the cross from
nearly all public buildings and the in
tended removal of the cross which has
surlnounted the dome of the Pantheon
over since that magnificent structure
was built have given the lower classes
OF the population OF towns and cities
the impression that any one may rob
or violate a church.
In several places mobs have invaded
the Catholic churches In search of val
tables, and seem to W. been surprised
when the police interfered.
One Of he most fragrant offenses is
reported from Montpelier. where the
mob, after having tried unsuccessfully
to break into the magnificent Cathedral
pf st. Matthew, put fire to the church
and tried to drive the tiremen away.
The great majority OF the French,
The farmers and vineyardists, as well as.
the laboring classes outside OF the
large cities, are beginning to feel in
censsd against q government which
ppaniy fights the Catholic church and
thereby tempts to these deeds of vio-
fence, n a sharp protest against the
policy Of M. Combes may be expected
on the floor OF the parliament.
M. Combes had hardly come intoi
power before he provided his son Ed

In the meantime the dissatisfaction
Of the French people with the present
government Is growing SO rapidly that

their heads and ave issued a circular
