Out of the Rane.

One of the most popular men in New
York is Mr.. Chauncey N. Depew. He is
popular because he is bright, courteous and,
appa emily, very frank. He always he's
something entertain ng TO say to newspaper
men, and whenever he can he answers
questions about public matters promptly and
ID the point
In an interview a day or two ago he made
several statements which are Of very gen
eral interest. He said that he was not a
Presidential candidate, although it is proba-
bic that he would come as near carrying
New York as any other Republican. He
probably understands, however, that out
side of his State he would not be very popu-
lar, for the reason that he is at the head of
great railroad corporation and the charge
would be made against him that he would
be the President of corporations and mo-
noDohes rather than Of the people.
Icing asked if he thought Mr.. Blaine was
still candidate he said he thought not, but
was of the opinion that if a unanimous
nomination were rendered to him he would
accept it. He based this opinion not upon
any information he had relative to Mr.
''iNAA-OS pun ppocos Dub Dclich
no man living would decline a nomination
of that kind. He thinks also that if no
effort should be made by Mr.. Blaine's
friends in his behalf, and he should he unsn-
imously nominated, the other candidates
would have no ill feeling toward him, but
would do what they could to effect his cleo
ton. If, however, his nomination should
be brought about by the efforts Of his
friends there would be trouble, because the
other candidates would then regard the
Blaine letter of withdrawal as a trick.
MIR. Depew had considerable to say in the
course of his interview about the Mug
wumps. He says that all of them who
agree with the tariff views of the Demo
cratic party, have joined their fortunes
with that party, and will support any can
didate it dominates Those who differ with
that party on the tariff have gone back to
the Republican party, and will remain with
it, even if Mr.. Blaine should be nominated
1t is probable that Mr.. Depew's statement
about the Mugwumps is very nearly cor
rect The great majority of them, how
ever, are tariff reformers, and are, there
fore, acting with the Democratic party.
Doubtless Mr.. Depew will be heard from
again before the Chicago Convention, but
it may be regarded as settled that he is not
q Presidential candidate

An Important Pilgrimage.

The dispatches the other day stated that
party of 800 people had left the City of
Mexico for Rome to visit the Pope. OF the
object of their pilgrimage nothing was said,
for the reason that nothing was publicly
known. The simple announcement of their
departure. therefore, did not attract very
general attention, but, as a matter of fact,
the pilgrimage is one of the most important
ever made from this continent. Its object
is considered to be nothing more or less than
the reorganization of the Catholic church
in Mexico.
In order to understand the matter state
ment Of facts connected with the Catholic
Church in Mexico is necessary. The church
there has long been deprived of much of
its influence by the government, and is
therefore unable to exercise the power for
good of which it is carable. 1t was never
ON very good terms with the Vatican, the
troubles dating back to the earliest times,
and being a continuation of those which
existed in Spain, where, though the Roman
liturgy was adopted and the Pope recog-
nized as the head of the church, many
priests favored a national church. This
feeling was transferred to Mexico, and as
far back as ITO Lorenzano, an Archbishop
of Mexico, attempted to use the MOI
arabic instead of the Roman liturgy. He
was unsuccessful but the sentiment in
favor of national church continued to be
very strong, eliminating in 1857 with the
PRONUNCIATION of the Liberal Constitution
and the passage of the laws of the Reforma,
under which all churches and church prop
erty were confscated by the government
and all church orders and societies forbid
den. Since then a bitter fight has been
going on between church and state, the
laws of the Reforma being so rigidly en-
forced that no one in ecclesiastical garb
was allowed to appear upon the streets,
while by way Of retaliation the church ex-
communicated any one who was connected
with the government.
1t was not until the Diaz administration
that serious and intelligent efforts were
made to heal tho breach between the two
factions President Diaz, assisted by Arch
bishop Labastida, has given much attention
to the work, and under a special permit
from him the churches are now used by the
priests. He has been partially successful
in his efforts, though the feeling on both
sides is still strong.
The pilgrimage to Rome is doubtless to
bring about an understanding between
church and state. As nine-tenths of the
Mexicans are Catholics at heart, an ami
cable adjustment of the differences would
promote the peace and happiness of that
country.

A Bothered LAWYER.

A story is told of Maine Sheriff who was
very small in stature and who started out to
serve writ upon a stslwart Aroostook farmer.
He found his man in the field explained his
business and then was requested 10 read his
writ, which commenced as usual: You are
hereby commanded without delay to take the
body Of" etc.

self back on the grass, I'm ready

left, when he left also. The question which is

A New Story.

The MORNING News will begin the publ
cation of a deeply interesting story next
Sunday entitled, The Painter of
Parma, or the Magic of Masterpiece"
IT is an Italian Story of Love, Mys-
terry and Adventure, and Is one of the
very best of the many stories of that
very popular author, Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.
1t is probably the last long story that Mr..
Cobb ever wrote, and those who read it
will doubtless agree that in style, plot,
dialogue, portraiture of characters it is
fully equal to the efforts of the best writers
of fiction of the present day. 1t is a story
that will bring many pleasant hour to the
households into which the MORNING NEWS
finds its way. The story will appear in the
WEEKLY News.

Mr.. Davis as a Historian.

few newspapers are greatly concerned
about a statement that Mr.. jefferson Davis
proposes to write history OF the war OF
secession. They think he ought not to do it
and that it would be something akin to
treason for him to do it,
But why shouldn't Mr.. Davis write such
a history if he wants to There is no good
reason why he shouldn't, and he is under no
obligation not to do it. He certainly pos
sesses the necessary ability, and he has a
wider range of information pertaining TO
matters connected with the war period tuan
most men. His age is against him and he
might not live to complete the task, but
though physically weak he is mentally
strong
A history Of the war of secession by Mr.
Davis would, of course, be written from a
Southern standpoint, and that is one reason
why it should lie written. 1t would, how
ever, give much inside information about
the events of 1876, and would go far to-
wards establishing correct history, which
cannot be obtained so long as the accounts
of tho struggle are chiefly from one side.
Surely the time has come when
Mr.. Davis can write upon this
subject without being charged
with reasonable motives, and when his
tory by him will be received by the people
of all sections in spirit Of fairness. A few
politicians and newspapers that profess TO
believe the war is not yet ended might at
tempt to make political capital out of it, but
what they would say would have little effect
upon the great majority of people If Mr..
Davis desires to write a history let him ,
it. A history by him would bo a valuable
addition to the war literature.

Mrs Florence Cochenower wants a pen

thinks she ought to have it. To prevent the
bill from being defeated, however, he con-
scented to an amendment fixing the pension
at SIP instead of SIS a month, and with
this amendment it passed the Senate. Mrs.
Cochenower did not serve in the army; she
did not even render assistance to soldiers as
a nurse. She claims to have given valuable

Belleville, Mo, has elected a woman as a
member of the Town Council, and the citi-
Gems are very much surprised thereat. You
see, it happened in this way: The people
put IN their votes Tor T. Robson, suppos-
ing that they were voting for Aaron T.
Robinson. When the votes were counted
it was found that I. Robinson was elected,
and soon afterward Mrs. Tina Robinson,
wife of Aaron T., appeared to take the
cath Of office. The Robinson for whom
the votes were intended had been doing
business under his wife's name, hence the
mistake.
