This measure together with to antl-lnjunc tlos law. iirs the two thing that or gantsed labor, will flffht hardest for this winter, according to Samuel Com Bern, prarident of ths federation. ; , ' Tbere Is no doubt tliat when the Sherman law was passed, there was no Idea that it should Include working-men , In It operations.' said Mr. Gompers to night. "Its passage was brought about by public indignation against the trusts . that prer upon the people." But Uve supreme , court - of the United States lias declared that It applies equally to organisations - of worklngmen - banded , together for their mutual benefit, and we toast appeal from that decision to 'the people.'-.' . "As it now exists, the Sherman law Is but a replloa ' of the ancient anU coal ttlotf laws, under which every or ganization of the people was distrusted: and their liberties destroyed.

The more conservative politician are alarmed . at M. Millerand's 1 announce ment of his Intention to introduce a bill Into ths chamber of deputies investing working mines with a share of propri etary rights In the produce of mines. Ths minister has many time within recent years 'advocated this' sort - of profit-sharing as a measure of social Justice. The Socialist deputies are, of course, in favor of the nationalization of the mine. A a Socialist, that is also M. Millerand's view, but as a prac tical statesman he regards It as an Ideal still distant, and concerns him self with any reform, however small, that is Immediately attainable. Ths na tionalization ' of the mines enters Into ths program of a large section of the Republicans In the chamber who . fall short of Socialism. These politicians are rady; to subject all MmnmtoAngtrwa cessions to the application of M. Mil lerand's principle of participation In tho profits. It has been suggested that tho minister himself might propose that ltj should be applied at once to ths new coal-mining district of Meurthe-et-Moselle, which Is about to bo developed.

It is possible that a strong Independent or- j gran last ion of Catholic voter pledged to J support only such candidate as favor th removal of th interdict against re ligious orders, and the restoration of the church schools will be formed. If this be done, it is acknowledged that there are likely to be some big changes in th next chambers of depu ties.

Tbe palace, the place of exile to six popes, French Vatican," as It was called, has been for nearly 100 years an army barracks, and was. superficially at least, ruined both by the work of riptat!irt and by the natural careless ness of generations of military men. of fl'lai and troop.
