background, and made the abrogation
of the Concordat paramount. This
has been made possible by the short
sighted policy of many French eccIesi-
astcs who have taken advantage of
its privileges and evaded the greater
number of its obligations. Some of
the violations of this compact, like the
sacrifices of t e liberties of the CALI
can Church. for instance, have been
fundamental, while other are petty and
humiliating. The recent discussions
of the bulls of investitures of the
French bishops is a case in point BY
the terms of the COncordat, bishops are
nominated by the Government while
the Pope gives a bull of investiture. It
was discovered that the Vatican had
inserted i'm the text a notice which
caused the bull to appear as if the no
mination was to be made by the Pope:
The whole moral sense of France pro-
tested against such methods of pro-
ceeding. Then came the incident of
NJ. Loubet's visit to Rome and the
virtual deposition of the Bishops of
Laval and Dion followed by the ces-
satiOn of all diplomatic relations be-
tween the Vatican and the Quay
d'Orsay. The anti-Clerical found in
this the golden opportunity to abrogate
the Concordat. NJ. Combes was prompt
to use the occasion, and if no unforse-
seen contingency affects his supporters,
he will have a majority in both houses
for his proposal.
This is probably the most trouble
some questions every decided by the
French Parliament. What increases
the difficulty is the question of the
edifices devoted to the service of the
Church. By the Concordat they be-
long to the State; although, it must
be remembered, they had belonged to
the Church before the Revolution. The
cathedrals, the churches, the chapels,
the episcopal palaces, the manses, and
innumerable buildings used by the
clergy We're not only considered State
property, but have been improved and
restored at the expense of the State.
In addition to the use of these build
ings, the clergy received emoluments
now reaching the sum of forty-two
millions of francs a year not to speak
of important appropriations to theo-
logical schools, to missionaries, and to
kindred purposes. Several projects
of reparation have been proposed, but
all agree that all State privileges must
cease-that the Church shall no longer
be supported by skeptics, Jews, and
trotestantsi that it shall provide for its
own life be exclusively a religious or
gani2ation, and not a State within a
state. The Church viii continue to
enjoy the essential liberties of religious
bodies-liberty of meeting, liberty of
praying, of teaching religion, Of giving

lie Clericalsme, VOLTA 'ennemi," Of
Gambetta, and "Paix aux cures ct
guerre aux moines," of Paul Bert were
war cries which indicated deep resent
ment against the Clericals on the part
of the French democracy.
M. Combes is now leading this move
ment of secularization. This task is
not an easy one. His party is pledg-
ed to the absolute dispossession of the
clergy from all privileges which are
not essentially religious. Doubtless
these men are very radical in their
purpose, but it must not be forgotten
that, i'm 1852, the Republicans endeavor-
ed to be conservative in their educa-
tiOnal policy. Their programme of
morals was so framed that every re-
ligious man ought to have supported
it but, on the contrary, it met with
the most ineXplicable opposition Of
many of the Clericals. AS a rule, the
supporters of NJ Combes stand for
free philosophy, free science and free
religion. They often draw radical
conclusions from their principles, but,
when allowances have been made for
the violence of present discussions, it
will be seen that they lean on the side
of freedom. M. Combes himself is a
theist, and neither responsible for nor
sympathetic with the iIreligious spirit
of some of his friends. There is moth

aim is to leave religion to itself. He

Gle ON "The Crisis I'm France"
After series of conflicts between
the religious and the civil power,
France is face to face with one of the
gravest crises of her history the par
lilmentary assault which promises to
bring about the abolition of the Con-
cordat and the separation of Church
and state. The Catholics must have
made grievous mistakes, since 1871. to
have come to their present condition
for i'm the early years Of the Republic
they had absolute control of affairs,
and directed every functionary from
the President of the Republic to the
most insignificant constable of the
smallest hamlet. They had their bis
hops in the Superior Council of edu-
cation; thier clergy controlled the COM
mon schools; their catechism and their
creed were taught i'm the schools; their
religious professions had right of way
everywhere. The indices of their pow

fortunately, the establishment of paro-
chal schools was a declaration of war
upon the common schools, which, by
inevitable reaction, became strongly
anti-clerical and sometimes anti-reli-
gious. Yet the greater number of the
books of morals used i'm these schools
incline to the religious side, and the
philosophy taught i'm the secondary
schools is predominantly theistic and
idealistic. When the present struggle
has lost some of its intensity. and ir-
ritating questions are solved, these ir-
religious tendencies will probably dis
appear. They certainly will when lib

Leans unite on this issue.

religious instruction to the young and
preparing the future clergy. 1t must,
however, remain a great association
devoted to religion anu not to other
pursuits,
one of the great obstacles to a salts
factory solution of the task before Par
Lament is the predominance of the
belligerent spirit Rightly or wrong
ly, Catholicism stands thoroughly dis
credited in the eyes of the anti-Cleri-
Gals. They consider the priesthood as
ever ready to carry out "the sinister
designs of Rome" and as signally in
capable of loyalty to the State. The
adroitness of the Jesuits and of re-
representatives. of other orders has done
much harm to the Church by creating
mistrust. The state of mind of anti
Clericals is such that the legislation
following the rupture of the Concordat
is likely to be made against assumed
INSCRIPTIONS lawbreakers rather than
to regulate the acts of free citizens.
Special measures will be taken because
the Roman Catholic Church has a head
absolute in his authority, who is a
foreigner, and therefore not amenable
to the coercive jurisdiction of France.
Notwithstanding the drastic character
of the present policy, it remains true
that the majority of the followers of
M. Combes, and M. Combes himself,
are not the iconoclasas and fanatics
that their antagonists have represent
ed. Notwithstanding their harsh meth
DDS, there are professions in Catholic
villages and even in cities, crucifixes
in the school-houses, nuns in the mfr
maries lycees, State schools taught by
militant Catholics, and Independent in
stitutions whose teachers are seculariz-
ed Jesuits. Religion has suffered much,
precisely because of the signal injustice
of State Churchsm. The movement
headed by M. Combes may yet be reck-
oned as ultimately favorable to reli-
gion. De Tocqueville said that 1t was
rather in appearance than in reality
that the French Revolution was anti
Christian. When disestablishment has
become a fact-if it does-it will be

1t is not easy for Americans fully to

The outlook has endeavored to state
the position dispassionately and frank
ly. Americans are accustomed to a
Catholic Church so radically different
from that in France that it is difficult
for them to understand how eXasperat-
ing a reactionary type of Catholicism
can be. With any honest effort to Sc
parate Church from State, to put all
religions on a basis of equality, to con-
fine all religious organizations absolu-
tely to religious functions, Americans
of all schools will thoroughly sympa-
thize; any attacks on religion, under
any form or under any guise, they will
as unanimously condemn. The situa-

RUMoR OF DEATH IN FIRE.
William F. Bloom Believed to Have
Perished in Hot Springs.

Information has been received here upon
which is based the belief that william F.
Bloom. formerly of the Metropolitan police
department, was burned to death in a hotel
fire last night at Hot Springs. Ark. De-
tails Of the affair are meager and cannot be
confirmed. Mrs. Bloom. who resides at

headquarters today to inquire If any adj
vices had been received there that would
throw any light upon the matter.
It was stated that a telegram was re-

describing the effects belonging to man
whose charred remains were found be-
tween the smoldering walls of the burned
hotel. The man supposed to be Policeman

WOOL MIXTURES.
How to Detect the Ruinous Cotton
Thread in Cloth.

From Men and Women.
The difference between wool and cotton
is very great, and in the case OF separate
threads of each is plainly apparent; yet
when these same threads are closely IN
terwoven some good judges are mistaken
and buy mixed cotton and wool goods
firmly convinced that there Is not q thread
of cotton in the cloth. 1t Is the custom
of all mills that manufacture cotton ana
wool mixtures to run the cotton crosswise
In the looms. thus leaving the wool %
run lengthwdse. This Is done for two
purposes: first, to impart the glossy ap-
pearance which the longer stretch or
wool thread gives when run In the length
of the goods, and secondly, because the
proportion of cotton is necessarily less
and therefore more difficult to detect. The
cotton thread, of course. is much smaller
and very difficult to distinguish in closely
woven fabric. There is one infallible test.

Take q bolt of goods at the cut END
and examine closely the crosswtse thread.

Calls for Nearly 81 900, 900 Less Than

Mr. Ricketts,, the acting public printer.
has submitted his estimates to the Treasury
Department for transmission to Congress-.

duct of the government printing office FOR
the next fiscal year. The total amount car

wear which ended last June was S6.760,-

amount which the acting public printer es-
Inmates as necessary for the coming fiscal
year.
Mr. Ricketts, stated that his estimates
were compiled without reference to any
action which might be taken by Congress
or the executive departments looking TO
further reductions in the printing bill. He
said that IL Congress would remedy the de-
fects in the printing laws, which he regards
IN large part responsible for many of the
wastes in printing, the saving to the gov
eminent would be much larger than that
indicated by the reduction shown In his es-
Inmates.

the opportunities for retreuchment In tho

MIR. PENICKs, DENIAL.
SAYS Binders Are Not Leagued to
Boom Publications.

Mr. Penicks, assistant foreman of the
bindery Of the government printing Office,
was asked by Chairman Lands of the joint
congressional commission yesterday:
do you know of an organization In the
bindery that has for its purpose creating a
demand for documents and having members
of Congress continue having bound the re-
serve copies for members?"
Mr. Penicks replied: There is no SUCH
organization"
Mr. Lands asked: you mean az far az
you know there is none?"
Mr. Penicks replied: II will tell you about
what is a supposed organization. Many
visitors, in passing through the bindery.
would see books that were bound, and
would ask for a copy. They were In
formed that we could not give them any
books and informed them they could get
them from members of Congress or the de-
partments. Then committee conceived the
idea of having a catalogue printed Of the
different publications issued by the govern
ment and where they could be obtained.
This was done, and as visitors would stop
to look at the manipulation of the bindery
they would be handed copy of this little
catalogue. The bookbinders believed that
the government publications were printed
for the people, to enlighten them and help
make better citizens of them. There are
lots of people who would be glad to have
some of the valuable publications that are
stored in the Capitol il they knew how to
get them"
