WILL HE COMET

VIII tho Pope como to American This In
a question which In just now nn1iously agi-
tating tho Ultramontanes, and tho appoint
ment Of m American Cardinal adds now in
forest to tile question. Ono thing is cortain.
Neither tho present 1'opo nor his successor
can ro1nain muc, longer in Italy. It ia gct-
ting too hot about the papal chair, and mono
Of tho bulls can reduce tho Temperature.
Where will P1us TX. or his successor go? En-
gland once made m offer Of the Island Of
Malta MS choice building lot for nov WIT
ican, but she IL not disposed to do so now.
Tho Pope cannot 60 to Trance or Anstria, rs
TINT would inevitably imply war with Ger
many. Spain Is too much taken up aud used
up to otfer Inducements for permanent rosi-
denco to anybody. Russia won't hayo
him because Rho is opposed to tho
Roman Catholic religion, md especially to
tho dogma Of infalibility, which is driving
tho Russian Catholics by hundreds Of thou
sands into tho Greek Church. What other
place is left hat the United StateH? What
other pfnco is there in the United States cal-
cnlntcd to interest and Bootho tho old GENTLE
man but Chicago? Let him como iloro and
spend the remainder of his days in peace and
quiet. In this country ho will be safo from
tho tolls and snarcs Of tho diplomats. IIo
will be FREQ to sny wliat ho pleascs without
incurring the danger Of boing called to nc.
count for 1t by Germany or any other powor.
I1ssAEcE will no. yonturo to tako Secretary
F1sH to task for any Of tho old gcntlornnn's
utterances. Thero orc none Of tho laws with
which he could Interfere except, perhaps, those
with reference to tho frcc-scilool system, mud
it ho attempted that tho Protostauts and lib-
cral Catholics would unite in some Joint ad-
sico to him which would bo snlutary and sat-
;sfactory. Again, tho Pope has lnid by about
$4,000, 900, which il daily increasing. Tor
man with 90, ,00o, 900 there is no place tiko
Chicago. Our real ostato men would roceivo
him with open arrna, and provide any num-
bcr Of o1celiont sites, on oannl terms, for the
erection Of new Vatican, and, rs noithor tie
County Board nor tho Common Council would
have any voice in tho matter, there would
bo no rings, and no nonsense, and no
stealings in tho building Of it, Besides,
wo want his grand old pictures md statuary
md ancient manuscripts hero to encourage
the growth Of Art and literature in tho New
World. From overy point Of view the
United States is the best p1aco in tho world,
and Chicago ia the best placo in tho United
States, for the Hcad Of the Church, and tho
sooner he comes tho batter. Tho remainder
Of his days would 10 unvoxcd with the at-
tacks Of political and religious foes and the
pestering Of the diplomats. As 1lnancial
Investment also It would be excellent.
There's millions In It for him. Lot linn

for,-whetlar for the chnster OF 1879 or

Parliament Prorogued.

LONDON, Aug. IL.
Parliament was prorogued to-day till the
Goth of October. The queen in her speech
closing the session, says
My Lords and Gentlemen.-I am happy
to be enabled to release you from attend
ance at parliament. The relations between
myself and all foreign powers continue to
be cordial, and look forward with hope
and confidence to the uninterrupted main
tenance of European peace. The visit paid
to this country on invitation of my govern
ment by the ruler of Zauzibsr has led to
the conclusion of supplementary conven-
ton, which trust may be efficacious for
the more complete suppression of the east
African slave trade. l have learned with
deep regret that the expedition dispatched
by my Indian government from Burmah,
with the view to.opea a communication
with the western provinces of China, has
been treacherously attacked by an armed
force while on Chinese territory. This
outrage unhapply Involving the death of
young and promising member of my consul
lar service is the subject of careful inquiry,
and no effort shall be spared to secure the
punishment of those by whom it was nsti-
gated and committed. The condition of
my colonial empire is generally prosper
Gus. Gentlemen of the house Of commons,
l thank you for the liberal supplies you
have voted for the public service. My
lords and gentlemen, it is gratifying to me
to find that the heightened consideration
you have given on various statutes which
have from time to time been passed for the
preservation Of the peace In the Island has
resulted In measure which, while relax
ing the stripgency of former enactments,
is calculated to maintain the tranquility of
the country. Her majesty then refers to
the other principal enactments Of the
session, her reference to the shipping bills
being as follows: "The state of the public
business and the difference of opinion
naturally arising on varied and compre-
hensive scheme have unfortunately pre-
vented you from completing the considera-
ton of the merchant shipping bill, but
rejoice that you have been able, by tenn
porary enactment, to diminish considerably
the dangers to which my seafarng subjects
are exposed. l have every reason TO hope
the progress in the revenue system which
has marked recent years will be fully sus-
tanned IN the present. The arrangements
which you have made with respect to the
reduction of the national debt and those for
the better regulation of loans for public
works will lead to valuable improvements
in our system of imperial and local finance.
In bidding you farewell for the recess l
pray that the blessing of Providence may
fall on your recent labors and accompany
you in the discharge of all your duties"
