SUPREMACY OF CIVIL POWER
From The Hartford Times.

Happy is the land in which problem OF church
and state relations exists. Even in England the
most serious question OF the hour IS the right
claimed by the established church to control the
public school system of the country. sooner or
later the supremacy OF the civil power must be
everywhere acknowledged as It is in America Let
Us hope that this may be attained IN France with
out serious injury the state or the church. and
that wisdom ard toleration may soon prevail In
their relations to each other.

BLUNDER IN CRAFTSMANSHIP.
From The Baltimore News.

The refusal of the Pope TO sanction compliance
with the of the law has precipitated the
present crisis. The circumstances are complicated
it difficult for outsiders 70 form an intelligent
opinion on the merits of the case now presented
but il is safe TO say that wise craftsmanship would
seek above all things TO avoid such CRISIS. And
when Il is remembered hat even the powerful
German empire was glad TO retreat from a con-
hict OF the same general character as that in
which the French government has entered the
friends OF the French Republic must regret that
such an issue has been raised.
