there will be no grinding Of
sugar cane in Cuba this year,
owing to the rebellion, and
consequently the worlds sup
ply will be decreased by
100000 tons, one-titth OF
the entire production of the
world. A considerable in
crease in prices is therefore
certain. On top of this comes
the information that Senator
Perkins is making strong
fight to secure q higher tariff
on sugar, as he wished to en-
courage the beet sugar plan
ters of California. Senator
Perkins believes that where
the Republicans can secure
control of the Senate protec-
ton will be granted by bounty
or increase of duty. The
San Francisco Bulletin in
commenting on the PROPOSE

has introduced a resolution

The State Capitol.

Annapolis is crowded daily with
delegations from all over the State
AS usual the anxious legions of pOliti-
clans are here looking after their
bread and butter and many of them
have the assurance they have not
pushed their claim for nOught. The
largest delegation since this Legisla-
tive session was here Tuesday plead
ing for the passage of the Local Veto
Bill which they say is the very best
measure that can be passed to put an
end to the ravages of the saloon
The delegation numbered 1873 and
was composed of the very best women
and men che State can afford. The
| joint committee of the two houses on
Temperance heard the delegation
very patiently and two of the com
mlttee, in short but enthusiastic adj
dresses committed themselves TO the
| pass9g of the bill.
! The House is much exercised over
the Civil Service Bill known as the
Bruce Bill passed by the Senate.

The colored brother is also here on
the anxious seat and not a few of
them say they will reach the goal of
their ambition. In the State library
can be seen seated daily Messrs VIM.

and seem to have an ambition to oc-
cupy a seat in the State before it is
recaptured by the old mossback ring

Then, there is that first council held
at Jerusalem to consider a most i'm
portant matter at that time Peter
did not preside. He took part in the
debate with the others, but st. James,
the Bishop of Jerusalem, presided. Ii
st. Peter was Pope why did he not
preside? Why did he not deliver the
sentence?
st. Paul writes his EpistIe to the
"ROmans, " and in the last chapter he
sends any number of salutatiOns, and
yet, from one end of the Epistle to the
other, there is not word about Peter.
He didn't even send his love to Pope
Peter simply because Peter was
neithet Pope nor in Rome.
st. Paul, in Galatians H., 8, uses
this language: And when James,
Cephas and John, who seemed to be
the pillars" et;. If Peter was Pope,
why did he not respect his dignity by
mentioning his name first before
James? Then, again, st. Paul uses
these words (same chapter, 18th verse;:
''But when Peter was come to Antioch
[ aUithSt0od him to the face, because
he was to be blamed" how could st.
Paul speak thus of his superior? I'M

AS matter of fact, it should not be
forgotten that Jerusa iem, rather than

which gave Rome the ospel, the Nj

created nearly all th4 theology which
was not supplied from Africa.
st. t}yprian, in his opening speech
at council of 81 african Bishops in

threats cOmpels any OF his colleagues
to obey him as a duty. seeing that
every ishOp has his private rights
of exercising his liberty and power
freely, and can no more be judged by
another than he can judge that other
himself"

of Universal Bishop, says: ''This title

To an ordinary reader of the New
Testament it must certainly appear
that it was alien to the intention of
our Lord that either one of His
Apostles should be a supreme boss
over the others. They wanted to
know who was to be the greatest, they
were eager to have a decision upon
this matter, but He sternly rebuked
them. He did not say, II have ap-
pointed Peter to be Pope, and when /
AIN no more he will have exclusive au-
thority and supremacy over you all"
He spoke about the for distant future
when the twelve Apostles would Oc-
cupy twelve thrones in His Fathers
kingdom, but he never limited that st.
Peters throne should be over and
above the rest.
After our Lord had assembled into /
Heaven and the Apostles assembled to |
fill the vacancy caused by the treach-
cry OF Judas, Peter did not, as the |
,'Vicar of Christ y designate st. Mat
thias, but all of them had a part in
selecting the successor of Judas.
