FRANCE GETS VERY LITTLE
Receipts From Church Sales Stolen or
Used for Expenses.


Paris, March 11.-No further arrests
have been made in connection with
the scandal developed in the discov-
cry of a shortage Of something like
100000 in the accounts of M. Duez,
one Of the liquidators of the church
properties taken over by the state.
The severe criticism of the judicial
authorities for the lax control exer-
cised over the liquidators continues,
however, and the prosecuting attor-
ney's office especially is being attacked
sharply.
The Journal gives some interesting
figures regarding the deterioration CO

cations and teaching orders which
former Premier Waldeck- Rousseau
originally estimated would realize

mated figures were reduced to $780,
100000 and subsequently to $50,000,-
900 when the church issued a decree
Of accommodation against the pur-
chasers. AS matter of fact the
gross receipts thus far from this prop
erty amount to only $19.000,000, of
which sum 100000 has been ex-
pended in the adjudication of claims
against the property and in other
costs, including attorneys fees, ex-
penditures and commissions to the
JiQuidators.

THE PLATFORM.

The report of the special delegation
APPOINTED by the Republican state
committee, to draft in advance and
submit through the press to the gen.
eral public, platform to be adopted at
the state convention at Montpelier
June 30, is printed in full elsewhere
in this paper. Although not issued
in season to be used in the weeklies
enough in advance to bring about dis
cussion from that source before the
convention, the Monitor, nevertheless,
presents it for the enlightenment of
the public on what the leading repub-
licans of the state believe the party
should stand for and accomplish.
Prob a5lynone of the things .advocat-
ed in this tentative platform will be
severely criticised unless it be by
some one who is bound up in advoca-
ting a certain single doctrine to the ex-
clusion of governmental problems in
general. On the whole the platform
is very conservative and as the Mont
tor sees it there are only one or two of
the planks that are debatable to de-
gree that ought to make their enact
ment in the least uncertain. With
what slight changes may be made ir
this draft before being adopted by the
convention, we suppose the state
officers WILDE nominated on this plat.
form and in this manner pledged tc
carry it out. In reality however the
senators and representatives of the
two hundred and forty odd towns ant
cities in Vermont will be the real pow
er to redeem the pledges on which the
republican party of the state go befor'
the freemen for their votes.
1t therefore becomes essential
that candidates for legislative honor:
tell the voters whether they believt
in the planks of the platform adopted
by their party or not. The day is com
ing if it is not already at hand whe
there will be a general demand for {
declaration of principles by legislativ
candidates and the sooner it comes tn
quicker will there be a cleaner and
better government from the smalles
political division up through to tn
federal government itself.
Judging from the general favorabl
comment and publicity given the Mon
tors previous references to the belle
