CHURCH PROPERTY TAKEN FOR FRENCH AUTHORITIES. Ne# York, Dec. 13.—.Many seeking a cause for the warfare between the French government and the Roman Catholic church declare that It was the increasing activity of the church In national politics. A less obvious cause, they say. was the remarkable hold of Hocialistlc propaganda on the minds of the people who gradually awoke to tjie fact that the liberty they so longed for was certainly not to be found under the doable yoke of government and church. In the last quarter of a century the nation has become acutely sensitive to tho touch of the Vatican In the politic* of France, and not only seemed ready for the’ ratification of the separation law, but also for Its enforcement this week. Church Loses France. This act means practically the loss of France to the church. Outside of Spain France has for centuries been the most obedient and loyal duughter of Rome, so that this crisis seems an unnatural blow to the established order of thtng*. It also mean* that title of church property to the value of $200,000,000 Is turned over to the state;* that the Ro man Catholic church in France Is dls established, and that hereafter no en dowed church will he allowed to grow In strength and power beyond certain limits. In fact, it Is as complete divorce of state and church as the most rabid separatlonlst might ask for. Aot Passed*in 1905. The chamber of deputies passed the act of disestablishment, as the law Is known, on July 3, 1905. The senate passed ft on December 8 following, and It was ratified on December 11, 1905. It provided that a year’s time be given to the church In which to complete Its side of the question. At the end of tintt period It was expected that the church would be ready to hand over It* property to the government and continue Its work under the order of things. This new order, as conceived and enacted by French statesmen, re quired the churches to be conducted by public worship associations or In corporations. , After months of agitation, the Vati can refused to establish such associa tions. By so doing, It would virtually be admitting defeat and evincing com pliance with one of the most hostile movements It had ever been called upon to face. It so happened, therefore, that the churches are today like so many ships at sea that know not what port to steer to. Property Held by State. All the church property In the coun try Is now In the hand* of the French government. According to the law there Is still one moro year In which to transfer it to the public worship associations. But the church has not the slightest Intention of complying. The state may sell, rent or destroy every cathedral or church editlce in the land, with the Vatican powerless to raise a Anger. The state has also provided that no church shall accumulate endowments exceeding three times Its revenue the revenue Is more than 5,000 francs annually. The public worship associa tion* are supposed to be the tlnnm'lat managers of the religious establish menu and to be the Intermediary be tween them and the state. As for the charitable institutions and such organ, tsations ns-are not directly associated with the church, the state will take them. Trouble Ovtr Pensions. The matter of pensions gave a great deal of trouble In the period when dis establishment agitation ran high, as enacted that the clergymen who uL spent many years in the church should receive pension* not greater than 1.500 francs and that the younger should derive annuities from the state for periods varying from 4 to 8 years. In the past It ha* been the custom of the state to pay these salaries, and the state will save In this alone $9,000,000 annually. • The revolution not only got rid of re ligion for the time being, but also of the church. Napoleon, however, as soon a* he became Arnt consul, arranged >t concordat with Plus VII, under which the consul nominated and the pope up- Capoleon. however, wished to use these bishops for the glory of France and re. lutred them to swear allegiance to the republic. This several of them refused to do, and were driven from France. They went to Kngland. formed their La Petite Kgfiz. which flourished for a number of years. Pope Wat Captured. In 1109 Napoleon grew less regard ful of the Vatican and published the decree of Schoenbrunn. The pope was captured and Imprisoned at Fontaln- b!eu, and It was there that another con cordat. commonly called "the false con cordat.” was signed in 1813. The main i provision of this was to devolve the ARTISTIC CLOCKS Clocks with nude figure in pose us if rising from the water, surrounded by cattails and leaves. The clock at the base.
