LEO is A GREAT POPE.
Marion Crawford Compares Him with
Other Rulers of Europe.

Other Rulers of Europe.
Of the pope's craftsmanship and
Latinity the world knows much and is
sure to hear more-most, perhaps,
hear, when another and smaller man
shall sit in the great pope's chair. For
he is a great pope. There has not been
his equal, intellectually, for n long
time, nor shall we presently see his
ruatch again. The era of individuals
ties has not gone by, as some pretend,
We of middle age have seen in our life
time Cavour, Louis Napoleon, Garibal-
di, Disraeli, Bismarck, Leo KILL, and
the young emperor of Germany. With
the possible exception of Cavour, who
diCd-poisoned, as some say--before
be had lived out his life, few will deny
that of ali these the present pope pos.
sesses in many respects the most even
Unbalanced and stubbornly sane dis.
position. That fact alone speaks high+
ly for the judgment of the men who
elected him, in Italy's half-crazed days;
Immediately after the death of Victor
Emmanuel.
At all events, there stands at the
head of the Holy Roman Catholic and
Apostolic church as wise leader as
any who in our day has welded power;
as skilled, in his own manner, as any
who hold the pen; and better than all
that, as straightly simple and honest
Christian man as ever fought great
battle for his faiths sake.
Straight-minded, honest and simple
he is, yet keen, sensitive and nobly
cautious; for there is no nobility in
him who risks cause for the vanity Of
his own courage, and who out of mere
anger against those he hates squan.
ders the devotion of those who love
him. In sense, to-day, the greater
the man the greater the peacemaker.
And so it should be; for if peace be
counted among blessings, the love OF
it is among the virtues. Blessed are
the peacemakers." Marion Crawford,
in Century.

Two Irish Stories.

An Irish relative OF mine found two
countrymen in the dust of the bigh-
way. The uppermost was humping
the beaten foe severely. The new
conner cried: Let him get up. It's
a cowardly thing to hit fellow when
he's down." The victor painted: Yer
honor'd never be after asking me to
let him up av ye knew the thrubble
twas l had to down him" The same
gentleman tells how he visited wild
beast show, and saw a countryman
come in, bearing unmistakable signs
of having had a glass too much. A
tiger scratched the back of the hand
with which the man grasped bar OF
the cage. The liberation was severe
and the pain great. The sufferer danced
about and twirled his shillalah, cry
ing: "Lct him out, let him out, till
l have me will av him." A companion
tried to soothe the irate dancer with
this neat impromptu: Never mind,
Pat! Sure he only wanted to scrape
acquaintance wild ye!"-WestmiRsteI

Omce-H Holders.

The problem OF municipal govern
ment will never be solved until leading
business men initiate H. Fl. Rogers,
the Standard Oil millionaire, who has
accepted the post of superintendent of
streets of Fairharen, Mass, his native
town.
Just what our cities and towns need
is not form Of government which is
theoretically perfect, but the official
services OF business men whose success
in managing their own affairs certifies
that they have clear heads and good
Judgment; can master details, manage
men, are above temptations and
greedy sslf-seeking Of the political
ofRce-seeker.
Such gifted citizens owe something
to the communities ard the State in
which they live, and that have given
them favoriug conditions by which
they have been enabled to exer-
else their talents successfully. Were
they to accept official service, the ques-
tion which is the opprobrium OF civic
politics would receive gratifying so-
luton. Simple gratitude ought to
prompt this self-sacrifice.
Every member OF the National AS
sembly of 1859 had a perfect constitu-
ton in his pocket; but France went
into sloughs until Napoleon hauled her
out OF the mud and set her upon cor
duroy road. Napoleon was good road
maker when he obeyed first inten-
tions;h but his ambition switched him
of, and France followed him, and there
was collision.
When President Tyler stepped out
and became citizen, the voters of
a Virginia county, where the ex-Presi-
dent resided, in order to annoy, elected
him to the post of roadmaster. He ac-
cepted and began his work by ordering
every planter to send a gang of negroes
TO work" the road bordering on his
plantation.
That was unusual, for the planters
had been permitted 10 leave the roads
to the care OF time and weather. They
wrote the ex-President, requesting him
TO resign. He answered: Gentlemen,
my rule Of duty is never to decline an
office, and never, having accepted it.,
TO resign. You will please work out
your road tax, or will see that it is
done and that you pay for doing It,"
They worked out their road tax

The Norwegian Plan.

The regular courts OF Norway are
authorized by law to throw out any
case that has not been first submitted
for arbitration to court Of concilia-
tion. The effect Of the law is to re-
quire disputants to seek the assistance
of their neighbors in settling their diff
ferenees before calling on the State for
the arbitrary and costly service of the
courts. a Norwegian proverb declares
that "a poor settlement is better than
a fat judgment" So ingrained in the
national character is this principle
that courts OF Cancellation are main
tanned for the settlement Of disputes on
common sense principles, with the re-
suit that 10 per cent. of all the contro-
versies never go beyond these tribun-
ais. The fundamental features OF these
courts of Cancellation is the fact that
disputes are determined on their mer-
its as they appear to the ordinary mind.
rather than by technicalities. The
best men in the community are select
ed to sit in such cases and the plaintiffs
and defendants come before the mem
bers Of these and talk the issues over
informally. The main objects of these
courts Is to persuade the parties to
come to settlement Immediately, and
each is therefore urged to make con-
cessions. In our attempts to expedite
justice it might not be unwise to con-
slider this Norwegian plan Of discour-
aging litigation. 1t is time to turn
the public mind to the consuming and
increasing evils of litigious controver-
sizes and to the uncertainties and insult
fciencies OF the law. Although new
courts are being constantly created in
order to give prompter justice until
how we have, in proportion to popula-
tiun, eight times as many as England,
we are dropping steadily behind. In
civil suits most Of the American courts
are from two to three years backward,
while in criminal trials it takes from
two to FIVE years to reach final deci-
sion. The delay is not due TO the lack
of courts-we have enough for all our
purposes but to the methods prevail
ing In them, which appear to be con-
ceived for the purpose Of delaying and
drawing out cases. Some changes in
our system are needed, and it is hoped
that the suggestions that are being
made will get at something that will
enable us TO shorten trials. Lewiston
