RELATING TO PAPAL ARBITRATION AND 70
THE BULGARIAN QUESTION.
IRON TIE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF TIE TRIBUNE
PARIS Sept -.
The Pope, owing to a suggestion of Queen Isa-
bella is to resume a function of the Holy See
which has been for centuries in abey ance. In the
good Old times" when violent passions ran high,
and the seShncss Of the great convulsed provinces
and nations, the Pope the great arbter of
Europe. Papal arbitration has been hardly ever
demanded IN modern times. The idea of resort ng
to it now, as a means Of settling the HispaaO Ger
man quarrel was altogether the idea OF Queen isa-
bella he difficulty was to get an arbitrator to
whose judgment the bulk of the Spanish people
would submit and who would be sufficiently
independent of Bismarck to Judge equitaJy. The
Quccn mother with great good sense remarked
that the educated classes IN Spain, though lUcensed
against Germany. are aware of the madness of
fighting with her. All the uneducated people are
deyOut Catholics aud will bow to any Papal de-
cIsion. The Pope also has shown great frmness in
resisting Bismarck IN the matter Of the kuItur-
kampf aud can better afford to give an Independent
sentence than any OF the small, or indeed most of
the Great Powers. AS Bismarck does not want to
quarrel with Spain, but rather to
secure her friendship, both for military
and commercial reasons, he is glad 1t appears
to come INTO Queen ISabcas idea. That the Pope
is able to arbtrate IN such quarrel that about
the Caroline Islands shows how much the Holy
See has gained in real independence, and, indeed,
moral influence, by the loss of the States Of the
Church.
