Italy and the Pope.

The Italian Government has for
years past endeavOred to avoid a col
lislon with the papal power. and for
the first five or six years in which Leo
ALL wore the tiara the hone was
strong and the prospect bright that
the Vatican would accommodates itself
TO free Italy and regain bv the hal
lot the power it had lost through the
Oreech-loader. For the past three
years, however, the leaders of the
Roman Church have given tbemselves
up to reactiOnary policy which has at
length worn out the patience of the
Italian Cabinet. Premier Crispi's first
speech in Sicily is a declaration Of war
ana his second practically dares the
Papal See to leave Rome-it was greaI
oetore it came there and will be When
IL leaves it. These speeches cannot
greatly change the character of Italian
politics; but they will greatly modify
its spirit and infuse in it the bitterness
toward all clerical sympathies which
exists IN France and other European

There is talk again of private resi-
dence for the President which will
probably be heard many times more
before anything comes Of it. Yet it is
a most commendable idea. Congress
should either provide the President
with home entirely separate from his
once, or should combine the two in a
building large and commodious enough
to permit complete separation between
his family and official life. The White
House does not do that. It is not credit
able to the country that President
should be Oblidged to buy a place for
himself outside of Washington, as Mr..
Cleveland has done, in order to be
able to enjoy little privacy.
