The French government demands
the absolute right to appoint bishops In
that country. This is worse than the
right Of investiture claimed by Ger
many in the middle ages, and if recog-
nized by Rome would place the hier-
archy of France as completely under
the control of the government as is
that Of England today. But it will
not be recognized, says the Western
Waterman.

An obscure journal, calling itself Prot
estant, proposes to export Bibles to the
Philippines in such quantities that
"every man, woman, and child in the
islands should have Bible. The de-
cay of Spain and Italy is due to the
fact that the Romish Church forbade
the circulation Of the Book. Wher-
ever the Bible has been circulated
there is success, spirituality and civili-
zation," says the New Century.
1t is remarkable that such sentiments
as these find utterance now only in
remote districts, far "from the mad
ding crowd" There is scarcely a
Protestant pulpit in the land from
which such stupid and bigoted words
could come-so intelligently have our
dissenting friends grown in the last
twenty-five years, and-unhapply!-
they have learned how useless the
Bible alone is to stem the tide Of in
fidelity. 1t mas made wars between
sects, and it's sacred authority grows
less and less even with those who
hold, with Chillingworth, for ''the
Bible and nothing but the Bible" In
truth, the Catholic Church to-day is
the only conservator Of the Bible. The
other religious denominations see with
horror the old creeds disappearing. The
Presbyterian Of to-day may politely
call the change from the dogmatic
'Bibleism" of his forefathers 'evolu-
tion," but he cannot deny that it ar

was the essence of the best in the

The king Of Italy is making strenu-
GUS efforts to pass the divorce law, In
spite Of the fact that it is execrated
by the great majority Of his subjects.
The efforts that are being made by all
good Catholics to prevent the passage
Of this shameful and Ubiquitous law
are apparently without effect on the

The Scotch boat designed by Scot

sportsman, Sir Thomas Upton, in the

Upton thousand welcomes, thou

blarney; but the cup-a thousand
times no. We have heard Of but never

1t Is evident from dispatches re-
ceived from time to time from Berlin
that Roman Catholicism is growing
steadily throughout the German en-
pire, says the Duluth Herald. 1t is
interesting to note in connection with
the present political situation that the
ulramontanes have gained numerical
ly in all parts Of Germany. This Is
especially true in Saxony, Protestant
state, with Catholic royal house.
While in 1884 the number Of Catholics
there was over $1,000, saxony now
has over 100000. This large increase
is due to immigration coming from
Bavaria, Silesia and Bohemia. Form
erly the ultramontanes had no political
organization in Saxony. While in
1898 the Center nominated candidates
in only four election districts, receiv-
ing only 1903 votes. in the next cleo
ton it will nominate candidates every
where in Saxony. But not only in the
reichstag, but also in the Saxon diet.

THE LAND PURCHASE BILL.

While there is no direct news at this
writing bearing on the action of the
national convention now being held in
Dublin in consideration of the Irish
Land Purchase bill, there is never
theless widespread belief that the
convention will endorse the measure
in principle, leaving to the Irish party
the further task Of securing important
alterations in detail. Similar action
is likely to be taken by the land con-
ference committee and then the two
parties to the controversy will formu-
late and present their cases before
Parliament for further consideration.
Judging from the tenor of dispatches
thus far received in relation to the bill
it is evident that nothing has so in
terested the Irish people in long time
as this important measure. All Ire
land seems to have taken hand in
the general discussion provoked by the
land bill. Men Of all classes and oc-
equations have scrutinized it and each,
in particular way, has been allowed
to contribute his local OF general
knowledge of it's merits. This mental
product, at least the cream of it, has
been laid before the national conven-
ton and it will have much to do in
bringing to the surface the real feel
ings and opinions Of the Irish people
In reference to the measure. Since the
act of the union, nothing in which they
have been allowed consideration, has
so interested them. While the fate
of Ireland does not hinge on the defeat
or passage of the Land Purchase bill,
yet the very earnestness with which
it's people have entered into the general
discussion bodies we'll for Ireland.
Whatever defects the original measure
contained may be expected to be
eradicated. Together with this action
amendments will be offered and adopt
ed, so that when the final vote is taken
it will be on bill satisfactory or near
ly so, in all it's details.
After careful review of criticisms
thus far offered, ChiefSecretary Wynd
ham has expressed the opinion that
no fear need be felt that the measure
will be defeated. In referring to the
large number Of amendments present
ed he asserts that not one out of all
the number conflicts with the real
principle of the bill and this naturally
adds to his confidence in the final out
come which he believes will be the
triumphant passage of the measure.
The chief secretary's reputation is now
bound up in the Irish Land Purchase
bill and to this may be accredited, in
some measure at least, his implicit con-
fidence. However he must be COM
mended for his efforts and if the bill
finally becomes law the Irish peo-
pie will be frank enough and generous
enough to extend to him all the graf
itude and good will the celtic heart is
capable of. Further than this the
same people will not soon forget the
Irish members who have labored so
long and so faithfully that this end
might be accomplished. BY their per-
sistant endeavor the English govern
ment has finally been forced to grant
them recognition. If the Irish leaders
in Parliament had long since ceased
their agitation such a thing as the
Land Purchase bill would be unknown
to-day. TO them all honor is due.

IRISH LAD IN SUBURBAN.
Colt Will Not Be Sent to Chicago for the
Derby.

All rumors concerning Irish Lads engagements IN
the American Derby at Chicago next Saturday and
in the Suburban Handicap at Sheepshead Bay to-
morrow afternoon were set at rest yesterday, when
Herman B. Duryea, who, with Harry Payne Whit
new owns the colt, formally announced that Irish
Lad would not be shipped to Chicago Mr. Duryea
did not say that the colt would start in the Sub
urban but from what has been already intfmated
by his owners there is every TO believe that
barring accidents-he will be g. contender to-Inor-
row. With the penalty which he incurred By Win
ming the Brooklyn Handicap he will have to take
I'D IFS pounds in the Suburban, greater burden
than frequently falls to the lot Of three-year-od

all over the country, it is said, have taken advan-
tage of the possibility of Irish Lads starting, and
have played him extensively. The Drake forces
on the other hand have made the most or the East

and have been backing Savable at any and all
prices. Gunfre and Goldsmith. the two candldates'
