GENERAL LEES STATUE.

Judge Eli Torrance, OF Minneapolis,
commander-in-chief of the Grand
Army OF the Republic in 1902, and one
OF the strongest men the G. A. R. has
had in that position for years, heartily
indorses the position taken by Presi-
dent Taft and Attorney General Wicker,
sham as to the statue of Gen. Robert E.
Lee in the national Capitol Asked to
express his views for publication.
Judge Torrance said:
"a civil war must end, and / prefer
to believe that ours ended 40 years ago,
when Grant and Lee sheathcd their
swords at Appomattox. .Theterms OF
the surrender imposed no penalties upon
the living, nor did they call for any
discrediting OF the memory OF the dead.
The war being over, the first duty of
every patriot, north and south, was to
forget as far rs possible the bitterness
OF the strife, to bind up the nation S
wounds and to mutually treas
ure the heroism and self-sacrifce
of the American soldier. Con. Lee
was one of the foremost in this
patriotic duty, and history will ac-
cord him high praise for his sincere
and unqualified acceptance of the re-
suits OF the war. The chief objection
urged against bis statue is the uniform,
but to clothe it in blue would be ridic-
ulous. As history will class him
among the great generals of his age,
it seems altogether becoming that he
should appear in a military uniform.
II not the blue, why then it must be
the gray. Is it not strange that op.
position should be directed against
placing his statue in the hall of fame
and no protest made to the appoint
ment of the two former Confederate
soldiers to the Supreme bench of the
United States? 1t is the duty of these
two justices to construe the constitu-
ton and laws OF the land in cases
affecting the welfare Of all the people,
II the decisions OF these two former
Confederates on the highest court in
the land are accepted as patriotic,
wise, and Just, what possible harm
can come to the republic by placing in
the national Capitol the bronze statue
of Gen. Lee?"-[Newport, r. l., Her

CONFLICT BETWEEN CHURCH
AND STATE.

The Catholic juntasof the Basque
provinces of Spain decided at meet,
ing yesterday to wage a board cam,
paign Sin defense of Catholicism and
to use all efforts to spread the propa-
ganda throughout Spain. As the first
step they named general committee
to organize mammoth manifestation
against the government. Later they
will create militant juntas in every pro-
vince, The Carlist leaders also held a
meeting yesterday but behind closed
doors. The suspicion that the Catholics
and Carlists are working hand in hand
has increased the uneasiness Of the
authorities.
The authorities, despite contrary as
sertions, are plainly nervous, as they
fully realize the blind devotion Of the
peasant population of the Basque pro-
vinces, who had been told by the priests
and monks, with which the country
swarms. that it was their religious duty
to support the pope against the Spanish
government Ill Iuc pciloiilS ColiHiCl.
Sixteen priests and monks were among
the persons arrested Saturday on
charges of attempting to provoke dis
order.
Cardinal Merry del Val, the papal
secretary, has forwarded to the presi-
nent of the junta at San Sebastian the
thanks OF the pope and his apostolic
benediction. The telegram, is as follows:
III the present sad and bitter hour
his holiness sees with particular salts
faction the sister Biscayan provinces
evince their magnificent sentiments of
unshaken Christian fidelity. He thanks
you for your homage and filial love
and sends to you all his paternal affcc-
.tion and apostolic benediction.
Six thousand rifles were seized by the
authorities yesterday at Bilbao on
board n tug which had been chartered
to 60 to San Sebastian, where the great
auti-governmental demonstration was
proposed to be held yesterday, before
the clerical leaders abandoned the
manifestation.
