n company of capitalists had taken tile contract
to reclaim 100000 acres, or 1880 square
miles, of lake bottom and marsh land in South

twice the area of New-Jersey with another

TIE PRISoNER OF TIE HlrIcAM

IF the little driblets of news which find
their way out Of the Vatican and into the
columns of the Italian newspapers are trust
worthy the Pope is seriously inclined to
recognize the existence of the Kingdom of
Italy, and by so doing to draw the bolts Of his
prison doors and gain for himself the freedom
of movement enjoyed by the poorest inhabi-
tant of the Holy City. 1t is said that IN
animated discussion is in progress among the
Cardinals on the propriety of such q step, and
that the members of the College residing in
the Vatican are divided into two parties, one
insisting that the policy OF Plus TX. shall be
kept up by his successor and the other
arguing that the interests of the
Church will be advanced by the
recognition Of an order Of things which the

pope il powerless TO change. 1t Is also hlnteu
that there is even a still more radical view
advanced than that entertained by the latter
faction. and that Leo XIII. has been reminded
that. inasmuch as Providence directs the af-
fairs of this world, so important and endnr-
ing a fact as the Kingdom of Italy ought no
longer to be overlooked by his Vicegerent.
II is reasonable to suppose, say this class OF
logicians, that if the Almighty had desired TO
restore the Temporal Sovereignty of the Pope
He would have found q way to do so In inc
course of the ten years that have eiapse1
since Victor Emanuel took possession oil
Rome in the name of United Italy.
The Pope it should be remembered is q
prisoner only by his own volltion. The Italian
Government recognizes him as the head OF the
Catholic Church, and permits him, in spite OF lis
declared hostility. to dwell in peace in it's Capltai
city, TO manage the affairs of the Church Win
entire freedom from interference, and to rnle
the household of the Vatican in his own way
His palace is in fact kingdom in miniature,
exempt from all control from the munlclpai
or national authority. Save to enter the
Church of st. Peters, which adjOins the Vati-
cou and is connected with it by n private pas
sage. the Pope never goes outside the walls OF
his dwelling and garden. Italy is still IN
his eyes o robbery. a usurpatiOn and an
insult to the Almighty, and King Humbert Is
an impious wrctch who refuses to re-
store the goods of the II lly See which his
father laid violent hands upon. This persis-
tent "kicl1ing against the pricks" is unques-
tionably derogatOry to the dignity and intiu-
ence of the Pope, and must sooner or later be
abandoned. Leo XIII. cannot feel any per-
sonal grievance on account Of the destruction
of the Temporal Power. He never enjoyed it,,
and he cannot hope to regain what the progress
of liberty and the strength Of the sentiment
of nationality took from his predecessor. de
will be wise if he recognizes the patent fact
that the world can no longer be governed by
pOpes and priests.

to-day that the bill shall be reported at MD
night whatever amendments may be pending
another startling Parliamentary innovation
An early stage In the contest which has leo up
to this proposal is described in the LONDON
letter on another page. In Ireland, Parneirs
popularity appears to have increased, the great
meeting at Clara yesterday showing that his
hold on the people has not been shaken by
the recent incidents. His boast that he has
been able to keep the British Government at
bay for seven weeks in Parliament Is enough
TO make him hero with the Irish populace,
who will hardly stop to inquire In what way
the feat was accomplished.
General Miles has shown his ability to
chastise the Indian, when chastisement was
necessary, on many fields of danger. He has
shown his ability to do the Indian justice on
more than one occasion, and notably III inc
recent report of the Ponca Commission his
views upon the Indian question are therefore
those of q man who is thoroughly pracucai
and at the same time entirely just 1t Is per-
hans a waste of words to direct the attention
of members of Congress to General
Miles's argument in our local columns
for placing the Indians under the con-
troll of the army, or for at least making
an experiment of the policy by putting the
most ungovernable Indians under army CONTROL
and enlareing it or not as the results seem
ito Justify. We say it would be waste OF
words. because Congress seems to have re-
tired from the business of craftsmanship alto
eether and resolved itself into an
association for dividing public money
The judiciOus consideration OF pohcy
in grave matters of government mas
been out of date for some months at
least. With the advent of Republican House
there will probably be return of the disposi-
ton to examine other questions than those oil
the capacity of creeks to swallow up green
backs, and then the wisdom of this new modl-
fcation of long standing proposition Will
perhaps be considered.

cause for remembering his Administration with
gratitude by vetong that River and Harbor bill if
il comes before him IN It's present shape
David Dayls's reason Tor voting to keep the DEM
ocrats in control of the Senate is only another owl
dence that as a har-sptter ne is without rival.
One or two Democratic organs have already
hoisted the name OF their Presidential candidate for
1881. Defeat doesn't seem to discourage them at
ALL They are Just as brisk in setting up candidates
now as they were twenty years ago, though they
have gone to the wall in six National contests.
There 10 probably parallel to their courage, unless
II be in the case Of the Texas widow. On receiving
mild rebuke from the minister, wnen she was about
TO be- married TO her fifth husband, she replied:
"Well | lust want you to understand II the Lord
keeps on taking them shall, tO0P The Democracy
seems 10 be actuated by the same independent
m nTonoses 10 set up candidates just long the
people continue to knock them down.
There will never be Constitutional amendment
allowing the President to veto items in an apprOpri
alton bill so long as there is River and Harbor bill
to pass.
It's little late but still quite time enough to ask
Chairman Barnum whether he received a valentine
from Ii. l.. MOreY.
1t will be only just punishment for those trou-
blesome oflice-seekers who have annoyed Generai
Garfield by their persistence in pressing their
claims upon his notice if the following from
the Mentor correspondent of The CtRclnRGt'
Gazette is true. He says: Men who come here
UNLIMITED to ask for official favors or to prepare
the way for future requests, materially tnJure their

Humpty Dumpty.

Tomorrow night the celebrated Nick
Roberts Humpty Dumpty troupe will
appear at the Opera House. The prices
will be: First floor, so cents; balcony,
rs cents; no reserved seats. In speak
ing of the troupe the st. Louis Repub,
san says "Nick Roberts pantomime
organization has established itself as
the Legitimate successor OF George Fox s
Humpty Dumpty, and the rightful
heir of Fox's pantomime patronage. OF
course, there is no other George Fox,
and while this blank is felt by the
lovers Of dumb show, three excellent
trick clowns in one performance are
the best compensation that can be made
for the one who passed away. 1t is the
strongest, and altogether the best
troupe of pantomi nists and specialists
that Roberts has ever brought here,
and in the matter Of variety it is better
than any similar organization we have
seen in ST. Louis for years. In the per-
formsncs many new mechanical tricks
are introduced, and the performance is
a succession of rapid changes and live
ly acts from beginning to end.
