or, in other words, one opposed to
extreme measures in opposition to
the italian Government. Both the
Catholic Church and the Italian
Government are to be congratulated
upon this selection, as the unseemly
variance between Church and State
which lasted through the latter days
of the late Pope was distressing both
to good Catholics and to good SUBJ
jects of the italian kingdom. 1t has
not yet transpired what title the
new Pope will assume. 1t has been
customary for over thousand years
for the newly elected Pope to assume
one out of a few names, such as Plus,
Innocent, Leo, Paul, Gregory, etc.,
which he bears till death. The late
Pope's name was Mastai Feretti, but
on his conservation thirty years ago
and ever since he has been known
as Plus the Ninth.
Since the above was printed we
are informed that the new Pope's
officialname is Leo the Thirteenth.

THE LATEST FROM EUROPE.

The latest kilograms are not quite
so pacific in their character as those
which dictated our editorial in an
other column, since it appears that
the British feet will not be with
drawn to Besika Bay and Russia
will and probably has one of the
faubourgs of Constantinople. Mean
time the following is the speech of
the man with the lightning rod:
Prince Bismarck said that the re-
cent debates in the British Parlia-
subject. A iudicious regard for her
own interest required Russia to OBJ
tain TIE sanction of the powers for
the terms of peace. If such consent
is unObtainable Russia might be ex-
pected to act on the maxim,l 8. Ut
pOSsidetiS. Germany was first to
| consent to conference, and was in
different as to where it should be
| held but if on German soil it must
havea German President. Whether,
after that principle has been admit
ted, it will be advisable to adj
here to it absolutely will be re
served for Interior decision, accord
ing to the persOnages who attend
| the conference. He hoped that
peace would be maintained; indeed,
could hardly conceive that fresh
complications would arise; but
should they he would not advise the
| Emperor to go to war, except in
| harmony with the Federal Council,
| the Imperial Parliament, the Ger
man nation We're Germany now
| to announce her intentions at the
conference, she would simply render
! it impossible to continue the work
| of mediation. In such case, the
programme announced by Germany
might be adopted by others, when
peace might be imperiled. Accord
ingly, it would be a serious mistake
to aVOw a programme which might
! be eVaded by some and taken adj
vantage of by others. Germany had
no wish to act as arbitrator in the
pending conflict. All her ambition
was confined to the modest task of
a broker who settled a bargain be-
tween different parties. Germany
was on the most friendly terms with
Russia and Austria, and had not a
single interest, except friendly ri
valry in trade, antagOnistic to Eng
land. This enables her to mediate,
and she does not intend to throw
her power into the balance. The
Three Emperors' Alliance which
is based not on written engagements,
but on personal sympathies-is not
strong enough to induce any of the
participants to sacrifice important
national interests, pour les bedlr
ye,tr, of another power. Only for
German interests and German indie
pendence would he advise the En-
perOr to draw the sword.

and pressing interest.
THE BONDS NOR COMING HOME

One of the buggaboos by which
the bulls of the gold market tried to
scare people from voting for silver
money was the threat that all the
American bonds held in Europe
would be returned on our hands as
soon as theiniquitous measure
pass. This talk never scared us
worth cent, for if the bonds were
sent here it would be in return for
commodities produced here and so
constitute some revival of our trade
which we so sOrely need, and if we
are to have bonds out with interest
to pay OR them we would rather
they were held here and the interest
paid to our own citizens than have
to send money abroad to pay foreign
bondholders. But, if we are to be
guided by the following article in
the London Times, they are not
coming back after all:
United States bonds havesurprised
many people by advancing instead
of falling on the news that the silver
bill passed, in manner that will
insure its becoming a law in much
| its present shape. We have always
said the public was not selling the
/ stock to any appreciable extent, and
/ the weakness which has now and
then characterized the bonds was
due, as much as anything, to the
/ passing fears of dealers and to spec
ulatiVe selling, which only made
/ the market harder. Hence. on the
receipt of better New York prices,
and because the worst was now
known, the market naturally rose
! by the mere efforts of those who had
sold to buy back. Besides it has
been noticed that the limitation put
upon the quantity of silver that may
be coined within a given time is
itself tantamount to making silver
a subsidiary coinage, at all events
for some considerable time, so that
there is little alarm felt, and holders
stick to their bonds. The only
thing that will lower the prices of
these or any other high-class stock
just now is dearer money.
While on this subject we may say
that the hopes of the anti-siIver men
now centrein theidea that the House
will refuse to concur in the Senate's
amendment limiting the amount of
coinage; indeed the New York Her.
aid, astrOng anti-silver organ, rather
pats Gen. Ewing on the back like a
town rough trying to get up a dog
fight. 1t won't do. The House con-
tains some noisy members of the
bull terrier type who are ready
enough at all times for row with
the Senate, but that dog-fght won't
come off. The silver bin will be q
law in less than three weeks. and
those who want to make it fuller
and more complete will wait for
further legislation. There will have
to be a subsidiary silver bill in any
case to wipe up the miserable under
weighted fractional coinage which
we are now using. Not quite green
enough, Mr.. Herald.
