We have never heard of any need of Pope's
o having money He lives in a palace which
belongs to the Pontifcate, and therefore has
no rent to pay; he has no wife nor any child
rem to dress and feed and educate; and the
expenses of the papal army are not Of his in
dividual bearing but are paid out of the steady
revenues of the Church Universal The very
fact that he died worth so enormous noun
tain of money is in itself sufficient proof that
there were twenty millions of dollars in this
world that he did not need The queer part
of the story of His Holiness riches is that he,
the head of the Christian Church. deposited
his money with no less world renowned and
powerful Jewish house than that of the Roths-
childs. Money, rs well as poverty and poll
ties, makes strange hedfellows.
Speaking of the Papacy and the succession
to the Pontifcate, it is little singular that
Cardinal Manning should be at the head of
the so-callcd "irreconcilabes, 1t is said he
has following of no less than twelve Cardi
nails. As to whom these will give their sup
port is not minated We may be very sure
that Manning is greatly in earnest in whatever
course he has decided on. We have no hint
yet as to the predictions of Cardinal Me
Closkey We imagine him to be warmly on
the side of the Ultramontanes, that is to say,
the Society of Jesus. The probabilities seem
to be in favor of the election of the Arch
bishop of Verona to the vacant Chair of the
Popes. The most illustrious place in all the
world, is that same Papal Office
If we were the Gar (Which we are not, it is
quite proper to state), and had as absolute an
advantage as he has got over the Turkish Gov
eminent, we know what we would do we
would tell the Sultan to order the return of

pie and the immediate resignation of his com
mand by that erratc and aquatic genius. He
is too much of an Englishman to be trusted
in these parlous times
The question before the world is, will Eng
land prefer to he ridiculous by retiring from
the Sea Of Marmora without an engagement
with the Russo Turkish allies, or take the
desperate chances of war which cannot do
her any possible good and which may bring

andnot Russia who breaks the treaty of Paris if
she forces her passage to the Bosporusagainst
the explicit inhibition of the Porte. Then she
lays herself open 20 attack from other quart
ers; and other quarters means an all powerful
alliance between the German and Russian EN-
pires. Is it to be supposed that the Germans,
Bismarck. Won Moltke, and the rest of the
hard heads, are unacQuainted with single de
tail of the military establishment of their
neighbors! They sleep not, are never weary,
never relax the rigor of their far reaching pur-
pose. The genius of Frederick the Great still ,
lives in the warlike hearts of the Prussians;
and under Kaiser William all Germany is uni
ted to the glorious cause of Teutonic power. {
1t is the dream of the Gar that the Russian /
Empire may one day extend even so far as to
the shores of the Mediterranean. 1t is The :
dream of Bismark that the German Empire g
may one day embrace the Empire of Austria |
Doubtless England could easily form an ALI a
ance, offensive and defensive with Austria; :
but let this be done, and before Austria can 1
be of any avail against the Gar an allied /
army of Prussians and Russians will smash b
the power of the House of Hapsburg in less Il
than a month. Doubtless Italy would not be h
averse to taking part in such an onset upon c
her ancient foe. We cannot but believe that t
if England goes to war against the Gar she =
will suffer the great disaster which comes, h
sooner or later to all nations, and which pre- l
