PoPE LEO NH is becoming a factor in
European politics, and finds himself re-
stored to the dignity of arbiter between
the nations, and that, too, by Protestant
statesman. Bismarck, above all modern
statesmen the representative OF arbitrary
power, is the man who has invited his
holiness to decide between Germany an6
Spain. Well may he feel grstihed that so
much light is shed upon his dignity, shorn
as he is of all temporal power and author
ity. HE will sit," says the London Times
"as his predecessors in the middle ages
did to decide between two great Europesr
States; and he sees the possibility OF the
restoration of that power as judge in in
tesaational questions which they claimed
and exercised. Moreover, no highei
tribute could be paid to his impartiality
and sense oi Justice than that Protestan
statesman has Dot hesitated to invoke
them in question with Catholic State
with which on religious grounds the Pop'
must feel the greater sympathy"

TOLEDO, October l3.-The vote to-day
averages 10 to Is per cent. less than that
of last year. The Prohibition vote was
small in the city and showed scarcely any
increase. Returns are coming in very
slowly on account of the large number OF
scratched tickets, but the indications are
that the Republicans have elected most of
their county ticket by somewhat de-
creased pluralities from last year. The
exceptions are Wade and Puck, the fo,-
mer for sheriff and the latter for Represent
ative. Baumbac K, Republican, for Repre-
sentative, is believed 10 be elected by a
small plurality.
l am.-Returnsr received up to midnight,
embracing only about one-half of the pre-
cincts in Lucas county, show Republican
gains in nearly all those heard from.
WAGE, Democrat, for sheriff, probably has
a majority of 500. Representatives are III
doubr, with the chances favoring the Re
publican candidates. The remainder of
the Republican ticket is probably elected
by small majorities, and they claim the
county for Foraker by 400.
