To se? cure Its object It always has been allied with the reactionary govern? ment and the despots und even wl?h foreign Invaders. It has showed Itself an implacable enemy to the liberal movement and progress from the first revolution of Ayutla until the presenv time, and has fulminated Its ridicu? lous excommunlcutlons over the most grand and glorious defenders of the country. Hidalgo, Juarex and Ia?ro de Tejada. "Ths pretorlal and clorlcal rulings of Porforlo I>las and Huerta, against which the Meilran people have been struggling heroclally for many years, have had the sympathy und assistance of the Mexican church; the chufrh has had Its benedictions for the crimes and corruptions of Huerta and has unsuccessfully worked to Incite the public agalnt the constitutionalist cause."

Freeman, a lineman in the employ of the local light and power plant met instant death when his hand came in contact with a live wire. Mr. Freeman, who was a resident of Knightdale, N. C, has only been working for the Blshopvllle company a few weeks. While his tragic death was witnessed by a number of people, it occurred so suddenly and unexpect? edly that no one was able to render any assistance. It seems that Free? man had pulled down the light to make the repairs and attempted to hold some part of the inside fixtures with his bare hand, when he receiv? ed the shock which hurled him nearly fifteen feet. Death was instantaneous. It was said after the accident by those familiar with electrical work that if the ground had not been wet the cur? rent could not have collected suffi? cient force to cause Mr. Freeman's death.

It Is the intention of this government to recognize liberty of conscience, not to persecute some while ntberg enjoy guarantees, and for this reason the privilege has l?een accorded tlve Cath? olic churches of reopening their doors in Monterey." i Catholic churches recently have been closed In Saltillo, San Luis Po tosl and Neuvo Leredo.
