sisted The only remedy is the removal of the temp
tation. The public service would gain in every re-
spect from the immovability-save, of course, for
proved il-conduct-of the functonaries in question
In the present case, as have said. the electoral
maneuvers of the party in power will doubtless
succeed in obtaining a-nOt very large-malorlty Tor
the Left But do not think that that result
will suffice to insure long duration to the present
Cabinet. Day by day proofs of differences OF
opinion between the members of it, especially De-
tween Deprets and NicOtera, crop up to the surface
OF course these are all explained away by the minis
teria prints but in fact they only serve 70 confirm
the Impression previously held by those who best
knew the two men. And, what is worse such dis
sensons in the Cabinet do not form the greatest
difficulty with which the ministry of the Left will
have to contend. Like all ministries of the " Lett IN
every country under heaven the leaders OF the Lett
are supported mainly by followers much more "Left
than themselves. The head of the party finds very
great difficulty in preserving it's natural position IN
advance of the tall They are driven on by the
more violent men behind them, who have none OF
the RESPONSIBILITIES of office TO restrain them, and
thus do proceed faster and further than they woud
otherwise have been disposed to do. But the hour
is sure TO come when they will not dare not cannot
advance as those whose support has placed them in
NV own impression is that that hCurwil BOT be long

The hearts of all good Catholics throughout the
world, and all friends of the Vatican, have been
nightly cOmforted and edited by the appearance
of between six and seven thousand Spanish pill
grims" in Rome. We have had many "pilgrmages'
before Il believe Messrs Cook 81 Son would be per-
fcctly ready to contract for bringing pilgrimage,
with all their peas ready boiled, in any number,
from any part of the world to the feet of the Holy
Father) but never one on such scale as this. The
Liberia maciously asks, How it is that the country,
which thus far outstrps all the countries IN the
world in its display of "pilgrims," Is equally ana
obviously prominent in ignorance, lawlessneSs' ana
barbarism of all sorts1 The Pope would probably
reply if it were possible that he should condescehd
to reply at all to such iTeverent remarks, that his
kingdom not Of this world Andin truth that is the
only reply possible.
The reception of this large mass pilgrims in that
mart of St. Peters which was divided off and filled
up with seats for the Gcumenical Council, and
which has remained in that condition ever since,
was an imposing sight. The Pope sat on, or nearly
on the level of the floor and the pilgrims in rows OF
seats rising to a considerable hight behind each
other on either side and in front of him, so that all
conld see him well and conveniently. He was
dressed simply in his usual white cassOck, with a
velvet mantle hanging from one shoulder and
thrown across the other knee in front OF him. ms
pose and get-up was admirably efective-tar more
so than any display of richly embroidered sacer-
dotal garments would have been-and might have
been--very probably was-the arrangement OF an
artist. And wonderfully well the fine old man
looked as he sat there, the cynosure of all eyes,
while his unmatched voice filled the hall with his
resonant periods. l. A. IRoLLoPE'
