THE P4PiCY dND ROME.

There is no confirmation of the rum0r from
Paris that the Pope is about to abandon Rome
and take up his residence under the pTotcc-
ton of the French flag. Reports OF a similar
nature ha c hitherto proved purely sensational {;
and while it is undoubtedly true that there
has been a strong party in the College of Car
dinals and among tie JeSuits urging this course
upon the Pope, it is doubtful whether any
thing of the sort has yet been decided.
But on some accounts we should not regret
its confirmation. The withdrawal of tho Pope
would be the abandonment Of the last element
of opposition to the unity of Italy 1t would be
the end of the conflict at Rome between the
old and the new civilizations, between
the Nineteenth Century with Victor Emanuel,
and the Sixteenth Century with the venerable
traditions of the Papacy, between common
schools. the ballot, and an Italian Parliament
on the one hand, and the Society Of JeSultS'
the College Of Cardinals, and tho dogma Of
InfalIbil;ty on the other. We say no word
against these last. They belong to Il province
on which we rarely trench; but the world
recognjz, the fact that the unity OF
Italy will BE- more firmly established and It's
regeneration under tho liberal institutions
now promised more nearly attained, II the
disturbin,. elements of the Popc's presence in
Rome ard his claim to the temporal authority
he has lost should be eliminated from the
work.
Meantime in France the Pope's claim to the
headship of the Catholic Church would be as
distinct, aad his authority as unquestioned as
now His followers would maintain that, as
heretofore, he was only hinderrd from occupy
ing his riyl,ful place III Rome by tho machi-
nations of the wicked, and that, still Bishop
of Rome with the consequent primacy II
the Church, he welded all the authority OF
the SUCCESSORS of Peter Among the enthusiastic
Uhramoltdnsts he would find community
more sympathzing, and a national temper
more coLgcnial than remain to him in his ma
tive land; though it is certain that the day
when the ardent defenders of the Papacy in
France would plunge into war with Italy for
the sake of the Pope has passed. The
asYlum in France would DO rendered by
faithful Catholics as their pious duty to the
rightfrl Head of tho Church; it would no
longer, however, possess special political sig
niticancc outside of France. 1t would not help
the French Republic, but it could bode no evil
to the hDeiIl Italian Kingdom.

We do not believe that so infamous an IN
junction as that granted by Pratt restraining
tho contestants against Erie from publishing,
reading, or speaking of the testimony in their

he sufficient to convict the Erie conspirators
of crimes that would inevitably destroy
their power for mischief, and thus put
an end to their swindlng. That
evidence belongs to the people, and
public morality and justice demand that
this injunction be dissolved. Judge Brady

TO SMOKERS.

The Great Tobacco Controversy continues to
sgitate Great Britain. The Dublin University
MAGAZINE for September takes mp the subject
saying, by way Of apology, "Our desk is lit
tered with books relating to tobacco" One
thing seems to be sufficiently evident: Few
habits are more expensive than the habit of
smoking Tobacco is shown by official figures
to cost more than bread in Germany, Holland,
the United States, and England. The total
expenditure in the laSt-namrd country in 1868
for tobacco and snuff WAS Ell, 1920. These
figures are important, but two things should
be remembered. The first IS, that all ag%rc-
gates of expenditure by II nation are startling.
1t would be the same with the cost of r0nAtry's
buttons or pins, or friction matches. The cost
of tobacco is not large if its rAc be in any
way seryccable. Il it Qur writer says that
1t is not. 1t is poison. " 1t may call hem
"bane,' he says, "cou1in, and claim kinship
with belladonna.' Blu. even this Fact Ia not
conclusive, because there is poison in bread
or in most other articles of food. 1t
is undeniable that there is poison in tobacco,
but il is not a poison which acts rapidly and
fatally, and it is only in individual cases that
its acts perceptibly at all. However, if the
Use of tobacco does produce morbid affections
Of the body, it is well that everybody should
know it-even the ladies, since this Dublin
writer aflirms Of his own knowledge, that many
ladies' are in the habit of smoking privately.
Now let it be distinctly understood that the
use of tobacco produces lOcomOtOrOtdryi If
We may judge by its impressive name, this
must be frightful disease to have. 1t may
be explained that "locomotOrotaxy means no
more and no less than a general paralysis Of
the nerves supplying the muscles. Therefore,
good Sir, if you will puff your meerschaum

state of ignition, understand that you

moment, and rendered forever incapable
of figuring in baseball matches and other
games implying tho possession of

will smoke you must just make up your mind
to submit to one or all of tho following dis
eases: Gddiness, sickness Of the stomach

Up to o'clock this morning, no further IN
formation has been received from the Russian
fleet, now considerably overdue at tins port
The arrival of the Abrcck, one of the dulle8t
sailers of the three vessels bound hthcr, has
served further to stimulate public curiosity
and uneasiness concerning the remainder OF
the fleet. 1t does not follow, however, that
anv disaster has ovcrtakcn the other vessels
as there are innumerable circumstances which
might favor one vessel to the disadvantage OF
her swifter cOnsorts. We hope, tomorrow or

Another sad story of desertion aud Murder TINS

mrrly a hind husband and respectable citizen took

killed her. OF course. the sympaties of the public

ill-temper The whole matter reduces itself not to
sentiment but to the baldest logic. Either the mar
riage VOW represents solemn truth, or it is but
form of words. If the latter, party to the con-
tract is justified in abandoning the other to the

The appearance of Cholera on ship which
has just arrived at the quarantine grounds of
New-York Fay need not excite any apprehen-
siOns. Tho disease appears to have been of
a mild type, and was undoubtedly aggravated
by Tie inevitable crowding and imperfect ven
tilaton of ship board accommodations Though
forty-one deaths have occurred on the Frank
lin, it does not appear likely that any new
cases will be developed in the pure and frosty
atmosphere into which the passengers have
been transferred.
