THE pUPE As A PRISONER.
The TrIs Explanation OF Why lie Does
Not Leave tho Vatican.

MOI Leave tho Vatican.
Roman Letter in Catholic Standard;
The Catholics are accustomed to speak OF
the pope rs prisoner, and the Protest.
ants insist that this imprisonment Is a
voluntary one. The Rome correspondent
OF the Catholic Standard and Times
writes under date of October &, giving
the reason why from one years end to
another the only change OF residence for
the pope Is from the Aldobrendl Palace
of the vatican to the Borgia tower of the
Gardens. Says the correspondent:
Mark Twain, or somebody like to him.
has told us OF 4 captive who was confined
In dungeon for the greater part OF mis-
natural life, and who one day had the
happy thought Of opening the window
and getting out, To those who have
nothing poniIflcal or regal or grand. for
the matter OF that, in their intellectual
makeup, 1t has always seemed that the
pope was In that plight. lie Is such
charming old man, but why does he stay
in the vatlcanY ladies from England
land AmerlcaO are sometimes heard to
say. Just so. Since he is SO charming,
II may be inferred that his mind, to
which regal tradition, circumstances, en-
perlence and age have added all possi-
BILE enlightenment may be the best to de-
eide, But II the appeal to authority Ia
not satisfactory, there Is always the ar
gumont direct, The body of his deceased
predecessor narrowly escaped being
thrown into the Tiber during his funeral,
as learn from members OF the cOrtege.
Every insult was offered TO II. Is a live
pope better protected than a deal one?
The dead are surrounded with honor,
The live pope Is the symbol OF what the
revolution has made to be sedition, the
symbol Of religion in a state which Is
avowedly non-rellglous, the symbol OF
protest against non-sectarlan antl-cler-
icalism in state which Is formally ant
clerical and In city which has good
ly population OF an,l-clerlcals. Could he
pass through on his way to Castle Gam
dolfo, the only suburban residence which
the revolution has left him?
Even granting that he could do so
without ignominy, he could not do so
either with dignity, or L may say, with
nObleness. His soliiery must not appear
In the streets OF Rome. He could not do
so without guards, because the Corso Is
not Broadway, and because common
sense prescribes the wearing OF hats with
faldonl, not top hats. Accepting the
guards offered him by his guests IN the
qulrinal, he would have TO either accept
them under protest or without protest,
If without protest. then without dignity
or nObleness Of the soul. If under pro-
test, then with exposure to indignity.
This Is the papl dilemma. so forclhle
and so inevitable in It's action that the
popes have preferred twenty-saven years
Of prlyatlOn Of air to its acceptance"

Bradstgeets: The feature of the mar
ket this week has been the free pur-
chase of territory woods by a few Of
the leading manufacturers. The de-
mand for wool has not been general, but

Of oregon, Montana and other territory

woods were bought at market rates, and
the tone Is certainly more strong at the
close. The purchases OF territory, ore

week foot up over 100000 pounds, out
OF total of 100000 pounds domestic

Chicago Record: Evidently there was

young men wearing knee breeches,

It was too late. With horrible roar

London Times: The restrictive cou-
dltlons at present in force with regard
to the marriage OF officers in the Rus
sian army forbid this privilege under
any circumstances in the case OF officers
under twenty threei between the ages
of tweRty-three and twehty-elght years
the dot Of an officers wife must amount
to a sum representing the minimum in
come Of $50 roubes yearly on COM
parlson of these conditions with those
regulating the same question In other
European armies. It may be noted that
in the Austro- Hungarian army the
number OF officers authorized TO con-
tract marriage Is limited by fixed pro-
portion assigned to each grade. and,
these totals being reached, all further
marriages must be deferred pending the
occurrence of vacancies in the married
establishments. The italian army reg
ulations. which fix the income Of the
flancee at minimum OF from LOO TO
1000 lire, would appear to be more ra-
tionnl In their operation; Italian otti-
GERS, however, apply somewhat lb-
eral lnterpretati ton TO this law, with the
result that the number OF marriages oe-
curing under its actual provisions do
not exceed more than an eighth of ale
total number, seven-eighths OF the Oiil-
GERS being united under the conditions
OF the religious ceremony only and thus
exposing themselves to all the incon-
veniences which attend marriage not
recognized by civil law. Similar disa-
billties would now appear to be incurred
by Russian officers, and suggestions
have been made by the press in Russia
that a general revision Of the law Is
becoming necessary, The question Is
assuming some Importance from the
fact that Russian officers reaching a
total of nearly 10000 represent one of
the most important classes in the state,
