THE FAILURE OF MGR. SATOLLI'S
MISSION HERE.


Church Authorities in Rome Are Dis
turbed Over 1.-THE Difficulties of
Which Archbishop Ireland Made
Light the Pope's Representative Found
To Be Serious Obstacles.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, December 12.-It is
learned here that there is much con-
sternation at the Office of the cardinal
secretary of state on account of the
failure of Mgr. Satolli's mission to the
United States. France, the eldest daugh-
ter of church, no longer occupies the
minds of Roman ecclesiastics. Their at
tention is now directed to the young
giant of the west. Since the publica-
ton of Pope Leo's encyclical no such
commotion has appeared in ecclesiastical
circles.
Mgr. Satoln has failed to accomplish
what Mgr. Ireland assured Cardinal RAM
polla there would be no difficulty in ac-
complishing.
During Mgr. Ireland's soiourn in Rome
last summer he completely captured the
Vatican. The magnetism of his manner
the eloquence OF his tongue, his earnest
ness and open-hearted iberality COM
pletely won the hearts of the cardinal
secretary Of state and of the holy father.
He assured the cardinal secretary that
there was glorious future in store for
the church in America if certain sbsta-
cles were removed, and pointed OIL. that
these obstacles were the local chickering's
of priests and bishops, and above all the
condemnation of the public schools by
the American hierarchy.
He completely won over Cardinal RAM
polla, the cardinal secretary of state. and
the Pope selected Mgr. Satolli to be the
great pacificator of the church in Ameri-
ca. He vent to America, represented
the holy father at the opening of the
Chicago exhibition, and when the con-
ference of the archbishops of the United
States was held, November II, at New
York, Mgr. Satolli appeared and was in
troduced to the assembled archbishops
by Cardinal Gibbons.

WASHINGTON, December 12.-The
United States Supreme Court, by ma
jority decision today, reversed the judg-
ment of the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Southern District OF Cali
fornia and decided against the Southern
Pacific Railway Company in four suits
brought against it by the United States
to quit the title to the valuable lands ly-
ing between the Colorado river and the
Pacific Ocean. These lands in Southern
California are now much sought after
are said to be worth several million dol
lars, and were claimed by the Southern
Pacific by virtue of the land grant made
to it by Congress. The cases have been
before the court for some time. They
were argued at the last term, but the
court was so nearly divided on the mer-
its of the question involved that it or
dered the cases reargued, and set the
hearing down for special date.
The decision of the court, rem
dered by Justice Brewer, is squarely
against the company on both points be-
fore the court, and deprives it of title in
the lands. The two questions before
the court were whether OF not the South
ern Pacific Railway Company was enti-
tied to lands within the granted limits,
or to lands within the indemnity limits OF
the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com
pany, the maps of definite location of the
two roads conflicting. The court ruled
that the grants to these lands attached to
the Atlantic and Pacific Railway Com
pany, and that this road, never having
been constructed west of the Colorado
river, the nds became part of the
public domain open to settlers.
Justices Field and Gray dissented.

THE PROFITS HERE.
Are profits low in Richmond? No;
for if they were Richmond would never
have had her many elegant stores, larger
and finer now than ever and ground
on Broad street would not be selling for
six, eight hundred and more per front
foot. If profits were not high new mer-
chants would never be attracted to our
streets. and one of the largest retail
houses in the United States would not
now be establishing a branch on Broad
street. almost rivaling the parent stock.
Richmond is Il good place for merchants,
wholesale and retail, for they all make
money; therefore merchants should come
to Richmond.
Is marketing low? No Let yegeta-
bles be low; take the profit out of the
business and then see how soon the
gardens will be neglected, and then
abandoned: and then the gardener VIII

calling. Market gardeners should settle

money in the business.
And so of the dairymen and poulterers;
they can all make money easily. Fowls
and eggs are generally high enough to
satisfy the most grasping, for the blpeds
are rarely less than % cents for the
smallest. up to 10 and 80 cents for
respectable roasters or friers and eggs
range from II to 40 cents a dozen.

and therefore, that those seeking where
money is easily to be made should settle
in Richmond. But we will give other
proofs that Richmond is the place to

Portable living.
RIcHMOND's DEAFNESS.
Another reason why those seeking
money or good living should come TO
Richmond is-DearncsS. This seems
paradox. but it is strictly true. AS Il
rule, low prices and stationary, decaylng
and dead places and high prices and
live, active and growing places are linked
together though sometimes. owing to
scarcity through lack OF production prices
are high in the former. and for contrary
reasons sometimes low in the latter;
but as in the first case, profits, on ac-
count of paucity of transactions are
small. population is not attracted by rea-
son of high prices, 50 on the contrary
rs profits. by reason of multiplicity OF
transactions are large. population Is not
deferred by low prices, the rule that high
prices and growth and low prices and
stagnations arc twin brothers still hold
ing true Free silver coinage, sub-trea-
sury schemes and Farmers Alliance
are but other names for low prices; re-
store high prices and they vanish Ike

Thus what inducements does city
offer 10 capitalists where. interest to
builders where house rent. to mechanics
where wages. to merchants where profits,
to gardeners where vegetables, to dairy
men where milk and butter, 10 pOultercrs
where fowls and eggs are low None.
The live. the active, the stirring, those
who build cities shun such a place. while
ON the other hand where prices and
profits are high thither people flock IN
crowds. Hence, If We wish To bulld up

Is house rent cheap? No; and because

son why thousands of houses have been

probability not half the houses would

IS a good place for builders, because OF
