Still, it is the congre cation of the prop
aganda which will choose the successor
of Leo XIII when death claims him, and
of this, as stated, Ledochowski is the
head.
Rarely in the history of Rome has so
great proportion of the men who have
made the present century history of the
Romish church been assembled in the
Eternal City. Rarely has there been
more suspicious time for such an as
semblage. The Roman Catholic world
may rest assured that from the existence
of this fact they may wisely believe that
the successor of Leo, when the time
comes, will be chosen with all the wis

BILE. Unless the situation experiences
tremendous change, the choice of the
congregation of the propaganda will fail
upon either one of the two lieutenants
of the present pontiff whose characters
have been described.
Leo XIII is now in his S9th year, and
though his physical powers are steadily
waning, as is often the case with men Of
extraordinary intellect, his mental pow
ers seem to become brighter as the lamp
of life burrs low. Rarely, indeed, does
he appear in public and never unless ii
is to participate in some extraordinary
ceremonial at st. Peters, the pontifical
cathedral. In the years that have gore
forever he used to take part in the serv-
monial he attended, he keeps utter 81
lence, and with bowed head seems to be
constantly absorbed in devotional
thought.

ROME, Oct. g. Especial Corre-
spondence to The Herald.) The reaper
death stands with upraised sickle at
the side of Leo XIII, sublime pontiff,
pope of Rome. This is the nineteenth
year of the reign Of this frail yet brill
liant man, whose marvellous intellectual
powers have enabled him during his
entire incumbency of the papal throne
TO fulfill the multifarious duties of his
kingly office, while in state of health
which, to most persons, would have been
a condition of almost chronic invalidism.
One hears the story of coming dissolu-
ton talked upon Rome's streets, dis
cussed in the homes of the people and
even whispered in the vatican itself,
where, in one of the plainest of the H.
900 rooms of the great palace. sits the
childish form of the pope. carefully
guarded at all times by Pho Contra, the
man who served Leo we'll when he was
known to the world as Cardinal Peccl
Every day the pope is little weaker;
only a very little, to be sure, but suffi-
cient to make it fact that when each
sunset is over ii is known that his vital
ity is not so great as when the orb of
day rose.
Everywhere the health of the pope is
a matter of exceeding interest, but one
must be here, in the shadow of ST.
Peters. to fully appreciate what the
news of his death would really signify.
It means an entire change for men who
have for nearly twenty years been we'd
ded to given policy, to an established
course, which, no matter how we'll it has
served the church, must with the ad-
vent of new head thereof be changed
ir. various particulars, to adapt itself
in some measure to the views Of the new
occupant of what was once the most
powerful throne the world knew.
It has been the case for centuries that
the. occupant of the papal throne has
been an italian. Heretofore ii has rare
ly been thought of and never seriously
suggested that man of any other ma
tionality should really aspire or be so
bold as to even desire the great office.
This time it is different. We hear two
names names which every Roman
Catholic knows, those Of Rampolla and
Ledochowski. The first is that of the
papal Secretary of state and the seconGj
the name of the head of the congrega- |
tion. OF the propaganda.
Mariana Rampolla is one of the most
able mers in the history Of the Romish
church He is in his fiftieth year, tall,
broad sihouldered erect and vigorous.
His present position is due solely to his
ability, learning and wisdom. To hisl
influence. more than all else, is due the
present rather democratic course pur-
sued at the vatican, and this fact has
brought down upon his head what is |
known as the Reactionary party, COM
posed of those who would not abate one
jot or little of the methods which ruled |
at Rome centuries ago. Like all men |
Of great mental strength he has many |
enemies, but those who have the ad-
of the church closest at |
heart seem TO favor him above all Others |
