LEO XIII, HEAD OF THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH.
Quite the most important item Of re-
cent European news is that the pope
will leave Rome shortly, aud that all
preparations have been made for his
journey TO Spain. When Germany ad-
Vises Leo XIII. to make the Cancellation
of Italy his policy the strength of the alli-
auce between Germany, AustTO- Hungary
and Italy finds its strongest expression.
As it relates to the head of the Roman
church, 1t means that he can count upon
no aid or sympathy from the great pow
ers of Central Europe which would injure
their relations with Italy. The times
are indeed changed since when, only a
few years ago, Bismarck coquetted with
his holiness. The pope is said to have
received word from the government of
Italy that when he shall leave the vati-
can Its contents must be left undisturbed.
Not long after the death of Pope Plus
*. in 1873, GiOacchino Pecci was chosen
his successor and crowned as Leo XIII.
He is descended from an old patTician
family, and was born at CaTpin5tO,
village of Central Italy, on March 2,
1910. After graduating in law and the
olOgy at the Collegio Romano, he became
in 1887 one of the chaplains in the house,
hold of Pope Gregory XVI. with whom
he was an especial favorite. At thirty
three years Of age he was made arch
bishop of Damiata. Having developed
superior ability as a delegate, he wa s
appointed nUucio to Belgium in 1913.
lie held the Office until 1916, when he
was made archbishop. Pecci received
the cardinals hat from Pope Plus TX,
in 1858, and in this capacity he became
the cherished friend and intimate of
Cardinal AntenelIi. In 1877, the year
preceding his election to the pontiftcai
chair, he became PapaI finance minister.
His coTnation as pope took place March
s. 1873.

OFFICE OF THE GAZETTE,

FORT W ORTIZ. lex, aug. 81, 1859.
To-day winds up the week and month
in commercial circles, and during both
month and week the increase in the vol
ume of trade has been quite satisfac-
tory to both wholesale and retail deal
ers. The order trade of the wholesale
merchants has been steadily growing
and retail men report the best August
trade for years.
Prices have in the main been steady
the fluctuations being fractional except
in few articles. New mackerel ha W
experienced a heavy rise over last year s
prices on account of the smaIIness Of the
catch.
In the East wheat has declined, but in
this market it has advanced 215c per
bushel during the week, the best grades
now commanding 77l5c.
Country produce and feed stuffs have
undergone no change, except that
the latter is weaker than it has been at
any time this year.
Cotton opened at Zoe, and is still firm
at that quotation. Receipts up TO date,
however, are nominal, hardly enough to
base quotations on.
Fhe prices for all leading commodities
at2the close of the market to-day are as
are given below =, -

The men who are responsible for the
election of Anthony Higgins to the
United States Senate are Senator Eli
Salisbury, John f. Salisbury, now Sec
rotary of State, and coterie of Sauls-
bnry followers about Dover They are
ungrateful and not numerous, but are
noisy and turbulent and will make
good deal Of trouble No man whom they
favor will be nominated, and the man
who could be nominated might-marlS,
say might-be defeated, and
the strength which would follow at any
rate might endanger the whole state and
legislative ticket. Now a few level
headed men have looked the field care
fully over. They are shrewd and far
seeing politicians and they are potent in
party affairs In the state. They see the
fight in the party, and they see one man
who can stand up and stem the tide, who
can. If he will, say to his party and to
his state: III you need me | am here.
You have long honored me. Now
| am ready TO show my party and
my state that | am not ungrateful. That
man is Mr. Bayard His nomination for
governor would at once shatter every fac
tional line, and the Salisbury dogs might
give the cry in vain. The pack would not
dare to follow them. That is the solution
Of our difficulties. and il is going TO be
done. No matter what people may say,
Mr.. Bayard has a strong hold upon the
confidence aud affection OF the people OF
Delaware, and no man could defeat him
in popular vote there.
But would he aeceptT
There Is nothing that the ex Secretary
would not do for his state and his party.
He loves his state, and he believes that
the threatened domination Of the Repub.
lican party would be terrible blow to
Delaware He would tell you that such
thing as being a candidate for governor
is as far from his thoughts or desires as
being candidate for .he Bulgarian
throne, but when he is made to see
what such candidacy means, and
that II will save his party and his
state, he will not hesitate. / say
thisAfrom a thorough personal and init.
mate knowledge of the man. He once
said that If Constitutional Convention
were called in Delaware he would resign
his place as Secretary Of State and be
come a member of that Convention IN
order TO save his State. To vulgar minds
this assertion would appear to be mer,
, bosh. Mr. Bayard meant IL. and he would
have done what he said He would anC
