METHODIST IDEA OF GOVERNMENT.

1t is really surprising, with so many able law
yers and sound Jursts who belong to the Meth
odist church, so few of them appear as lay dele
gates in Methodist conference. The proceedings
at Los Angeles disclose the parson in the saddle !;
and if any person claiming to be educated knows
less about the fundamental principles upon which
this government is founded, it is a Methodist par
son. We will not say all, but most of them.
For instance: resolution was passed the other
day calling upon Congress to enact law forever
inhbitng the citizens of a state from voting mon
eys to sectarian schools. Another was passed dis
claiming any violation of law or torture of statute
where the Bible is read in public schools This is
merely incidental, however, and not to the argu-
ment in hand. Now what would be the effect of
law passed by Congress as these Methodists di-
rected. 1t would be blow at the sovereign rights
of the state and the individual liberty of the citi-
guaranteed by the constitution of the fathers
1t would nullify the republican idea and scheme
of government absolutely.
Surprising the people of the state of Illinois
were brought to the. mind of Methodist
bishop there who is pronounced against education
without religion, and therefore, per Sc, against
the public school system carried on now Sup
posing Illinois, through legislative enactment
should agree to pay for secular education no mat
ter By whom taught, and allow the denominations
to pay for religious education. 1t is Just and
square proposition, and no more than the Catholics
are asking for. Illinois would be acting within her
rights as a sovereign state should she consent to
such arrangement. 1t is the money of Illinois eiti-
zens that pays for the education of her children.
Illinois having done this, Eve speak in the flu
ture tense), what right invests in Ohio or Indiana
or any other state to overcome the will of the peo~
pie of Illinois (. Would it not be sheer impudence
to interfere upon plea that Illinois had tran
scended her state and individual rights?
Yet this would be the logical outcome of gov
eminent run by Methodists. 1t seems ludicrous to
take them seriously. Good Methodist as he was, we
are certain Mckinley would not support the reso-
luton adopted at Los Angeles if he were alive and
sat there as lay delegate. We are almost certain
the judge from Delaware who turned down Rev.
King not long ago, voted no.
But a Methodist parson cannot see beyond his
nose

FRANCE AND THE VATICAN,

France, on Saturday last, recalled NJ Nisard
her ambassador to the Vatican. This is the sequel
to the Popes public expression of displeasure over
President Loubet's visit to Rome. The Frenchman
ignored the precedent established by rulers of
Catholic nations His visit to Rome, his conduct
while guest of the royal sovereign his disinclina-
ton to appear the Leonine side of the Tiber.
all conspired TO represent the position of the French
government in its war upon the Church. 1t was
tantamount to declaring the King of Italy lawful
heir to the property and territory of the States of
the Church. seized by force of arms. No other
Catholic nation has formally recognized such
claim.
Correspondents of American newspapers resid
ing at Paris put all manner of construction upon
the Pope's protest and its effect upon the relations
of France and the Church. This was expected
Neither does 1t surprise us to hear of stormy in
terviews" between the French ambassador and Car
dnal Merry del Val; the conclusion of the Iatter's
associates IN the College of Cardinals that his Do
sltlon is untenabe; and grave misgivines among
many OF the prominent members and friends of
the Church throughout Europe that the Pope is
without balance III matters of diplomacy Such
dreams furnish good space copy" for the cable.
The one statement in the whole mess to which credit
may be given is this "The Pope is said to be fear
less OF the consequences that may follow upon his
issue of the protest, as his act was dictated bv n
sense of duty"
That has the right ring to it. The Church has
never compromised in any matter where truth and
It's recognition did not transcend all else. never
yielded the sense of duty to the clamor of temnoraI
advantage The final dissolution of dipIoma+ic re
ations between the Vatican and France had TO come
sooner or later That it came so soon is surnris-
ing, but the onus rests upon the government of
France. Loubet and Combes invited the protest
which Plus X gave to the world.

Without complete separation from the State tbe

BASEBALL AND STUDY.

ITo or three weeks ago, in an article explain
ing the efficacy of debate over stilted oratory in
our schools and colleges, the writer asked: "Why
Is 1t we hear of no debating> contests among the
students OF our Catholic colleges? If such have
taken place the fact has escaped our attention"
The editor of The New Freeman, of St Johns.

Wholesale censure, and invites The Intermountain
Catholic to visit the maritime provinces of his

collegiate debates obtain in.Catholic educational in

The audiences that greeted Miss Maud Adams
in "The Little Minister" at the Salt Lake theatre,
different from those which usually applaud
merit upon the stage; that is to say, the sentiment
controlling audiences assumed another and wider
character. Maud Adams is Salt Lake GIRL in this
city her amateur talent was first perceived; and
although it grew and developed where opportunity
had a wider scope elsewhere, nevertheless it was
Salt Lake talent. Thus the temperance of

came from all over the state to sec and hear the

for everything stamped Utah" that is distinct from
eastern communities. How unlike Chicago where
funeral takes place and the next door neighbor
is unacquainted with the person prepared for the
grave. Long may this love for one another grow
and develop in the hearts of our people, in spite
of the church troubles and the evil designs of those
who strive to make our state a stencil in the nos
trils of the East. The East should look to Utah
for every example of the heart controlling the head

TOM the Coneordat is an ncongruity in ecclesias-
tlcism. There may be some Catholics and perhaps
great many, pious souls whose prayers will go
out in pity for rhe French priests deprived of their
State stipend. They say that the French peasant.
50 long accustomed to seeing the priests butcher
and baker paid by French notary, will be slow to
respond to new conditions resulting from a repeal
OF the Concordat. There is truth in these pess-
mistic predictions. The Frenchman in France, if
he works for living, is thrifty person. He lays
more store TO copper sou than his countryman
here places in silver dime. It is the result of
environment rather than nature, and this Concordat
has contributed to bring about such indifference to
the welfare of the Church.
Pity for the French clergy? 1t is pity wasted
The trenchman is not to blame for his negligence.
Rather blame those placed over him spiritual
advisers for their negligence of spiritual admin
lstration; for their ily-concealed sympathy for
royalty, and for their hostility to the patriotic
tlment of France. But most of all the neglect of
souls has brought about this awful indifference
to religion and made it possible for an inhdel mi
nority to control the destiny of a once Catholic
country.
With the Concordat repealed, and these French
priests going with hungry belly to visit their peo
pie, the apostolic spirit of France will revive What
a lesson old Father De Smet could give these
French curates We're he alive. When we reflect, it
appears these French priests arc not worth their
salt until they sent out on foreign missions
Then they become the greatest arm of the Church
