TO BE CONDEMNED BY THE POPE. Paris, May 21.—Paris has heard that the French Christian Democratic movement, known as the “Sillon,” Is to be condemned by the Pope, who has already forbidden a similar movement in Italjr. The originator of it, M. Marc gagnler, an ardent Roman Catholic, is expected to submit to the papal decis ion. The "Sillon” originated for the discussion of the social question. PREACHERS AND POLITICS The Memphis Commercial Appeal fling* out-a few fine thoughts in the following, but like the seed in Lie parable, most cf it will probably fall upon thlstes or on stony ground. How ever, it b worth reading none the Itss: “If the church should lose its In fluence, H will b_* bocauce too many preachers are i;i:l!acd to meddle In temporal air vl.HI terry has demon stratei nu'i a.; r.itr: C3:is!uilve!> thru the f.r.t l-Y.t ike clerical is not i hole some ln.*u:nc3 in politics. 8ucb 'nflucnceTs getd -for neither the church uor ue*sta.o. Wo hav i read the history cf 3pn!n, of Fra ice, of Italy, of England, of Germany and cf the Netherlands to no purpose ,if wo Mnnot dissever therein this pregnant fact. The Catholic church has never been so powerful and £0 fiourshing as it is today, and the reason is that It has turned Its face away from poli tics. “That the preacher should never cease to advocate morality, tempt*:- uncc and charity in the pulpit and takes a hand in the election of local officers, when he meddles In politic*, and draws the circle ef the ch:. around him In so doln?, he is strik ing the deadliest blow at the cause of religion. When an invalid calls In a physician ho doesn't, want a sermon. When a man employs an attorney he Wauts a lawyer to talk to him about his case and not to givo him a dis course on the tariff. Just as certainly dots he look to his minister to ex pound gospel and net go about trying to elect a police court judge or a county registrar. " If preacher#* should continue to meddle in politics and try to run the government they will invariably arouse opposition. Visitor at the Capital—"Is the go ernor In?"

Perhaps Mr.’ Smith Is Retting sorry for some thing. Dr. Broughton had better quit poli tics, come to Waycroas, Inaugural revival meeting and get a X6vi r; subscribers to that defunct paper. SHAME ON SUCH AN ATTEMPT. Among the campaiin documrnir be ing circulated In the Interest of the candidacy- cf Gov. S:n!l . Is ono ad dressed to the "whit*? voters of hooks county,” In which they arc urged to read the accoir.it of fine ban- qit t of the Cosmopolitan club In Now York, “where white girls and women .tied side by side with negro men and women." While the dissemination cf this clr- uitar U nauseating In Itself, wok .hero nothing further, yet when tho same circular adempts to connect t: banquet referred to and the Candida- ey of Mon. Jos. M. Brown for Govern or of Georgia, Its circulators deserve the burning contempt of falrtninded men everywhere. In commenting on this circular the taron Telegraph says: This political circular, strange to say, was gotten out in Lie hopo of arousing race* prejudice in Georgia, for use in a Democratic primary in this state! Think of Social equality being un issue among Georgia Democrats! The mere suigestlon Is . n insult to Geor gians!
