FRENCH ELECTIONS.

The supporters of the French Repub-
over the elections which will commence
in that country on the 9Th of May. The
Republican forces admit that their
representation will be cut down. The
Monarchists, on one extreme, expect
gains, and the Socialists, ON the other
extreme. also expect to gain. The sup
porters of the Republic have been
greatly weakened by the law separating
church and state. That law has all
ready resulted in the downfall of one
ministry and it may soon cause the
downfall of another The law sepa-
rating church and state provides that
all church property existing at the
time of the signing of the Concortlat
shall revert to the French government.
but provides that church associations
may be formed for the purpose of ac-
uuiring this property at it's appraised
valuation.
So far the Catholics Of France have
resisted the formation of church ASSOC
Citations. Catholics. especially in Brit
tany, have forcbly resisted tho Of
ficalS of the government in making
church inventories. Officers of the
army when ordered to break open
churches have i'm many instances dis
~,
court martial have been promptly ac-
quilted. Matters are becoming serious
for the Republican government "f
France. Government officials did not
reckon With the revulsion of feeling
that has followed the dissertation of
church sanctuaries. The Catholics of
France who, nominally at least, COM
prise about forty million out of the
forty-two or forty-three million inhab-
with the French Republic. The last
move has brought about a change of
feeling. That change in feeling has
infected the French army and now the
Catholic newspapers of France are
calling upon the Pope to condemn the
plan of church associations and upon
the Catholic faithful to resort to force
if the civil powers should attempt to
closes the churches as by law it is
obliged to do after a definite delay
1t is probable that the Republican
forces will still retain majority of the
seats after the next election but the
signs are that their majority in the
next chamber of deputies will be ii
great deal smaller than it is today.

A CHANGE SINCE 1896.

Club of New York City by which it de-
cation so as to become a national Dem
ocratic club, With the nvowed purpose
of fighting radicalism and socialism,
would be Of no great interest We're it
not for the method by which it pur-
poses to fight radic;,ism On next
Monday night the club will give Il
Jefferson Day banquet at which some
of the most conservative Democrats of
the country will respond to toasts
Among the speakers will be Mayor
Mcclellan of New York, President Will
son of Princeton University and
Eourke Cochran 1t is said that the
object of this club is TO boom MIR.
Bryan for the Democratic nomination
in 1905. This in itself is strange
enough to attract interest. The Demo-
cratic club nf New York was one of those
organizations which in 1896 brand
ed Mr.. Bryan us Il radical, theorist
Most of the members voted for his op-
pnnent. Now Mr.. Bryan is regarded
as Il conservative. \ wonderful change
has come over the political thought OF
the country since 1896. The men who
in 1896 thought that the country would
be ruined ii Bryan should be elected
are now fighting for his nomination in
order to prevent the possible nomina-
tion of Il man still more radical The
Democratic Club of New York wishes
to stop the Hearst movement by pro-
noting Il Bryan movement. The atli-
will cause Mr.. Bryan and his friends
to smile.
Bryan will be doomed by the Demo-
cratic club as the only presidential tim
Der in sight at the jefferson Day dim
ner next Monday. 1T is also said that
plans are already on foot to extend to
him rousing reception upon his ar
rival in New York from his trip around
for several months plans for his re-
cepti"n are already on foot. IT is likely
that what Mr. Bryan used to call the
"cnemics' country" a few short years
ago will prove to be an extremely
friendly country upon his arrival.
The changed attitude of the Demo-
cratic Club of New York shows with
what rapidity things political move in
the United States. 1t is not unlikely
that the campaign for the Democratic
nomination in 1908 will have for one
OF it's leading figures William ]. Bryan,
and that he will appear in that cam
paign as the representative of con-
sentative Democracy as opposed to So
cialism and radicalism represented in
the person of Mr.. Hearst. in every
country has already moved around to
the position which Mr.. Bryan assumed
IN 1896. Mr. Bryan never was any more
radical than the man who is now presi-
dent OF the United states. What the
people applaud in Roosevelt many OF
them condemned in Bryan in 1896. 1t
may be true that many who supported
Bryan in 1896 will refuse to support
him in 1908 on the ground that he is
not radical enough. 1t is just possible
that the wave of radicalism which has
been sweeping over the country will
have spent its force before that time,
and that a united Democracy will ac-
cept with enthusiasm the candidacy of
William j. Bryan: and if it does the
man who was Overwhelmingly rejected
in 1900 may be as overwhelmingly Sc
lected in 1905.

Senator ingalls, remarked that re-
ligion in politics was an iridescent
dream, says the Denver Catholic Reg
lister. If he We're living now he might
have reason to revise his opinion. The
great desideratum for society is re-
ligion. If we have corruption in our
public life it is because public serv-
ants are careless about their moral
obligations. They are unreliable be-
cause they do not have lively faith
in God. They are Indifferent to God.
They are unconcerned about His COM
mandmcnts. Religion, to be effective,
must be Of the practical kind. 1t must
be manifested in all the relations of
every day life. st. John tells us we
must live not in word or in tongue,
but in deed and in truth. Mere lip
worship is not sufficient. ST. Paul re-
marks that the law is fulfilled if we
love our neighbors as we love our
selves.

He did not speak of the Church only
in her doctrinal and sacramento sys-
tenn. as the guardian and infallible in
terpreter Of revealed truth and sole
authorized dispenser of the mysteries
of God, for in that sense there was no
institution with which she could be
compared. He merely spoke of her in
her external and mundane and secular
aspect. as the preserver of ancient
civilization. the defender of civil and
spiritual freedom as the fashioncr and
moulder of Christian society. And
from that point of view they would
bear with him if he adduced one or
two additional examples Of what he
meant.

ALDERMEN BAD LOSERS
CITY FATHERS GRuMBLE OVER
TAX LEVY FIGURES -DEPART-
MENT HEADS GRIN AND BEAR

Few Of the aldermen are willing to
accept the Judgment Of the board Of
tax levy as to the proper distribution
Of the current expense funds, and it is
almost certain that several Of the items
in these two funds will not be left as
the board planned.
There is always a little pot left by
the board of tax levy from whic the
aldermen can help themselves N to ap-
ested. One year it was an item for
voting machines which was sacrificed.
Another year it was the appropriation
for paying rebates on special assess
ments which gave the council a chance
to increase items in which it was more
directly interested. Another it was the
good roads fund, and so on. i
This year it is the appropriation of
1000, for lampheads with incandes-
cent attachments which offers fine
field for pillage. This item stands a
good chance 1aees Of fl being diverted into
At least that is the way the aldermen
talk now. The current-expense fund
can hardly be tampered with unless the
aldermen are looking for fierce scrim-
age:

It is understood that the board Of
education will increase the pay of some
of the teachers. No allowance was
made by the board Of tax levy for this
purpose. The school directors are said
to be favorably disposed toward the
proposition and it is believed that $780,
