Supreme Pontiff, Leo XIII, celebrated
the fiftietl anniversary of his ordina.
ton as q priest of the Catholic Church.
The priest is q remarkable one and has
called forth from every portion OF
the world testimonials of regard, af-
lection and esteem. The spiritual
children Of Leo XIII from every nook
and corner Of the Eabitable globe have
sent him substantial tokens of their
loyalty and devotion, but those also
outside of the fold of the Catholic
Church and even Pagan nations have
We'd with each other in sending his
Holiness splendid testimonials of their
esteem for his august person.
1t was meet and proper, that the ru-
Ter of sixty millions of American free
men should honor the Golden Jubilee
OF the illustrious Pontiff. now SO glo-
riously reigning. We take pleasure in
recording the fact that President
Cleveland has reflected credit on him.

sending to the Holy Father q present

which will be most gratefully appre-
ciated by the greatest living states
