As between the weather in France and
labor troubles in Scotland, the poor of
those countries are in bad way The
severe winter has already cost the people
of France nearly $1,000, 900, and it is es-
timated that the Scottish railway strike
has cost up to date 81, 100000. Thatsum
would have been sufficient many times
over to pay the increased expenses of the
roads resulting from granting the de-
mands Of the men for a ten-hour day.
Official returns from the companies
show that the men have been worked
from fourteen to eighteen hours a day.
The strike is not yet ended, and it ought
not TO be until something like justice is
granted TO the men.

ice POPE sLowLY DYING.

The latest truthworthy news about
| Pope Leo KILL, who again has been rep
resented as in dying condition by re-
cent dispatches, is to be found in the
Secolo XIX, Milan paper. to which its
Rome correspondent wrote Dec. 90, 1890.
The strength of the pope is daily de-
creasing. Not that he can be said TO be
suffering from any definite illness; still
his life is ebbing away slowly and insen-
siblv. What keep him up, more than
anything else. is his energy and his will,
still sufficiently strong and vigorous.
But those who approach him are sadly
struck with all the symptoms of a speedy
bodily dissolution. The pOpe's vote has
become thin-so thin: his body, already
lean and angular. has become almost
transparent, the eyes only are still viva
cious and brilliant. He looks Ike
shadow, ''un 'ombra,' spirit, mourn
full and sad, wandering through the
grand and superb solitude of the Vatican.
Perhaps he il suffering over the idea that
he has not done for the church as
much as he could or would have done.
He had grand conceptions. vast
schemes; and he had the mind
and the heart to realize them. But
These later years OF his pontificate have
not corresponded 10 all the hopes which
ne entertained in 1868: he feels it himself
and is grieved at 1t. Still 1t was less
through his fault than those of others
that his plans did not succeed. At any
rate he continues his receptions. He al
ways has on his lips his habitual smile
he does not miss d single ceremony and
fulfills all the duties OF his high Office.
He wants to prove TO others that ne is
still vigorous. and perhaps be wants TO
prove it TO himself But nobody in the
vatican entertains any illusion in that
respect. Extremely feeble are the ties
which bind him to life, and no great
force will be necessary TO cut them off.
Perhaps one morning. when nobody eX-
poets 1t, the pope may be found dead.
Or perhaps, during one of the ceremO-
MES which he will attend. the old man
will be seen dropping his head, never TO
lift it up again, upon the arm of his holy
chair, the 'sedia gestatoria."

The report that winter wheat would
be a failure had the effect of bulling the
market little, but the reports didn't
come from Kansas, which prompts the
Lawrence Journal to remark that, "a
Kansas man never acknowledges that
his present crop is not the biggest he
ever had until he gets his check from
the dealer for ii. 4" The Journal is slightly
off: the Kansas man is not an exception
to the rule that governs the calling
extant, and that is to magnify crops
until it is known positively that it will
be large and fine. when it suddenly and
often mysteriously shrinks and shrivels
to the minimum, until the surplus is
disposed of. Human nature is the same
the world over.

this photograph reveals, surrounding a

Lsplace and Kant were not very far

scattered over and around the andre

in Orion. In the wonderful photographs
of the Pleiades by the Henry brothers,
Of Paris, one not only sees masses Of
nebulous matter clinging, so TO speak,
to some of the more conspicuous stars,
but in one place long, straight, narrow
strip Of nebula has stars dotted along its
whole length, like diamonds strung upon
a ribbon.

And before correcting the Stars

but he was not at that time and never

This nineteenth century is certainly
one of progress. and even China is feel
ing the impulse of the era to wonder
full degree. 1t seems that, by a recent
imperial decree, members of the royal
family and mandarins of the first rank
will hereafter be permitted to approach
the emperor without knocking their
heads upon the ground, etiquette being
satisfied if they quietly crawl into the
august presence on all-fours Perhaps
before the next century is brought to an
end those privileged individuals may be
accorded permission to approach the
throne in an upright position.

One of the latest, although not the
newest matters pertaining to public
policy, now up for discussion, is the
taxation of churches. The Independent
a leader among church and religious
organs is, we believe, an advocate of as
sessing and collecting taxes on churches
pro rata with their value as property. OF
course there will be division of senti-
ment and we are inclined to believe that
the church as such will resist the pro-
posed innovation, one of the grounds
for such resistance being that property
so dedicated has no revenue value, etc,
and that outside of all moral and relig-
ious considerations the average church
edifice architecturally and artistically
considered is of importance to each
to be exempt from assess
ment and taxation.

The Newton Republican still sticks to
its former asSertion-by implication If
not in so many words-that the brains
of the senate are opposed to the pending
silver bill before congress, or, in a word
against the free coinage of silver. As
we stated before, this leaves ingalls, and
Plumb and the balance OF a majority of
the senatars to be classed as ninnies.
This is another parallel case to that of the
wise juryman's explanation o. why he
jury failed of a verdict: except that il
this case 4 verdict was rendered.
