WHAT OF FRANCE?

''The monarchy is dead" So declared Rev.
Felix Klein, Phi D., speaking of the French nation
and its troubles to a Boston journalist recently.
Rev. DR.. Klein is professor at the Catholic uni
versity of Paris Of course Father Klein is
thorough Republican. We're he otherwise, those
words would not escape his lips: "The monarchy is
i dead
1t is refreshing to hear such words from
French cleric, and one so distinguished as Father
Klein. He is remembered as the priest who came
to the defense OF Father Hecker against the dis
torted setting forth of his life and ideas by the
Able Maighen.
What such priest has to say touching con-
ditions in France is certain to be accurate 1t
does not come in a roundabout way from Catholic
channels hostile to France in the neighborhood of
Westminster. 1t is first stranded
To the Boston Pilot, Father KIeinn said that
the present dominance of bad men, enemies of all
religion, in the government is due partly to the
apathy of the people to the exercise of their
political rights, partly to tn cleverness of willy men
in clouding the real issue at election. Of course
the remedy for this is in better Catholic leadership
and the propagation among the masses of true Re-
publican ideas. 1t is not the easiest thing. in the
world to educate people who have seen within a
comparatively short space such rapid and violent
changes, into a conviction of the stability of Re
pqbcanism and its benefcent possibilities 1t is
hard to make them associate the Republican idea
from the evil policy of many of it's pretended ex-
ponents.
At the present juncture, he said it would be-
hooye good Catholic in the interests of nation and
religion alike to vote for Republican though he
might be man of doubtful character rather than
for monarchist however personally commendable
The latter would but prolong the doubt and hesita-
ton of the people.
Father Klein denounced the prosecuting spirit
of the Combes government and the hypocrisy of its
defense of its warfare ON the religious orders 1t
is false to speak of these orders as enemies of the
Republican idea.
few congregations i'll past times have been
outspoken in their preference for monarchy but
they inconsiderable fraction of the whole
the republic and NEEDLE not at all in politics. And
certainly the religious women teachers, nurses of
the sick poor and contemplatives cannot be
charged with hostility to the republic The Combes'
ministry is moved by an insane hatred of all things
Christian.
Father Klein, however, blamed those Catholics |
who joined in the anti-Jewish movement He
thinks the end of the Concordat is near, and that
the transition placed between the State-maintained
Church and the Church maintained by the people,
will involve great hardshps, but that religion will |
eventually have the advantage, and the Church in
France time of greater piety and glory than ever

No more copper pennies are to be minted for
at least year Over three billions of this bargain
store money have been coined within the past five
years. Three billion seems almost Incompetent
sible In units of particles. Some arithmetician
might give us an accurate example in computa-
ton, say by starting row of pennies at New
York and laying down penny after penny until
all had been strung out Would that line of pen

millions to spare. They would extend to San
Francisco and then over the country back again
to New York. They could encircle the globe in
like manner, and yet millions remain of the orig
inal three billions. Now we understand how cheap

flourish. But how churches can be built and how
pastors can grow fat copper pennies is a
mystery.

VESUVIUs IN ERUPTION.
Suddenly Throws Up a Column of
Lava and Stones.

Naples, Aug. 26.-The people of
Naples and the environs witnessed a re-
markable spectacle at noon today. One
thousand feet below the central cone
of Vesuvius the volcano opened like a
huge mouth, out of which belched a
fierce stream of lava, which ran down
the side of the mountain and at first
seemed to menace the observatory.
This building, however, is protected
in the direction of the stream by a
mound of lava 200 feet high, which
was thrown out during the eruptions
of 1895 and 1900. The eruption oc-
Cured without any warning whatever.
There was no earthquake, detonation
or rain of ashes, nothing but clear
stream of lava and red-hot stones,
which were thrown to a height of TOO
feet, producing an extremely beautiful
effect seen from Naples. The stream
of lava, which is fifteen feet broad,
at II O'Clock tonight had covered q
distance of 2, 700 feet. 1t deviated later
from the direction of the observatory,
which is no longer menaced. The only
danger is for the new electric tramway
up the volcano, which, however, has
thus far not been touched. The erup-
tion already seems to be decreasing,
and it is supposed that no damage will
result from it.
The spectators far enough away not
to be frightened, stood entranced at
the spectacle, but those nearer to the
volcano were seized by panic when the
eruption began.

Anti-Loafing Law.

The new vagrant law of Georgia is
being strictly enforced. This is true
with respect to the country districts
certainly, for in Atlanta it is said that
many of the negroes who have been
run out of the rural districts have
congregated in that city. But they
are NOT welcome there, and will be
made to go to work or ''move on"
This law will stop tramping and
lettering. The man who is without
visible means of support will be sent
to Jail, but he will not be allowed to
live in idleness there. If no employ
ment can be found for him in the
prison he will be put to work upon the
public roads. Migrants and some
other misdemeanants and felony
prisoners whose term Of sentence does
not exceed five years will be put to
work together in road-making. In
this way Georgia expects to improve
her road system, and, what is more,
she relies upon the law to eliminate
from her population the tramps,
vagrants, idlers, suspicious characters,
and other persons who lead idle and
Improbable lives.
1t appears, however, that where a
county makes use Of felony prisoners
it must surrender a proportion of the
State school fund equal to what those
prisoners would earn were they turned
over to the lessees of convicts.

Shamrock Ill Has No Chance.

New York, Aug. with Reliance
less than mile from the finish and
Shamrock III hull down on the
horizon fully two miles astern of the
gallant defender the fourth race of the
present series for the Americas cup was
declared off because of the expiration
of the time limit of five and one-half
hours, as happened on Thursday last.
Although officially it was no race, the
defeat administered to the challenger
was So ignomirious that whatever
lingering hope remained in the breasts
of the friends of Sir Thomas boat
vanished into thin air. Reliance's
victory was in every way more decisive
than that of last Saturday. Outsailed,
outpointed and outfooted, it was q
procession from start to finish.
The Herreshof wonder beat the
Shamrock hopelessly in the fifteen
miles of windward work; rounding
the outer mark u minutes and 80
seconds ahead Of her, a gain in actual
time Of II minutes and % seconds, and
down the wind she steadily increased
her lead. The real race of the day was
not against Shamrock, but it was seen
in the exciting struggle Of Reliance in
the last half hour to reach the finish
line before the regatta committee
fred the gun which should announce
the expiration of the time limit. Had
the wind freshened twenty minutes
earlier than it did the cup series would
have ended today with three straight
wins for the defender.
