Good mt GrowIing.

The democrats are growing now be-
cause the republican administration
raised too much money for war pur-
poses. Perhaps these gentlemen would
do well to go slow in their fault-find-
ing. AS far as the cost is concerned,
the war is not over, and we think that
before the days of spring come there
will be use for every dollar borrowed
and for every dollar collected as war
taxes. In short, 5000 GOO, OGO were bor-
rowed, and there will be raised by spe-
cial war taxes a sum approximating
s12O,OOo,O0O during the fiscal year.
When all bills are settled, our new pos
sessions pacified, fumigated. ETC., all
of the millions will be gone. But, then,
democrats must find fault. 1t is Sec
ond nature, especially when they want
to get into power.-Cincinnati Com

An Original Wedding.

When woman will she will, and
there's an end ont. A fresh illustra-
ton of the old saying is furnished by
the Troy IN. W Times. A rich widow
in town not far from Winter Harbor,
Me-, was making arrangements for the
marriage of her daughter, when the
Methodist conference met in that
town and 20 ministers came to attend
II. She invited them all to the we'd
ding, and, her pastor belonging to that
denomination, she expressed to him !.
wish that the ceremony be arranged
so that they could all participate. The
dominic thought the matter over and
told her that he could devise no scheme
by which her wish could be gratified.
He did not see how the marriage
service could be cut up into % seq
ments, and furthermore-and he en-
pressed it as delicately as possible
he did not think the members of the
WOuld ~
to engage in any such performances
AS the widow was person of great i'm
portance, he had to treat her gingerly
She was the largest contributor to the
support of the church and the parson
expected handsome fee for hitching
her daughter to the most eligible
young man in town. Hence he prom.
Used to consult with some of the
brethren and see her later, but she
did not wait for him. She took mat.
tiers into her own hands and formed a
plan that at least had the merit OF
originality. She went direct to the
presiding elder, invited him to perform
the ceremony and suggested that after
he had pronounced the couple man and
wife all the members of the conference
stand up in row before the pulpit and
recite the Lords Prayer in unison.

advices from members of the diplomatic

she is over the war with the United

that in view of the impossibilfty of nego-
tiating loans abroad there is no means of
raising funds to continue the war except
by an extension of the Bank of Spains
notes, which, however, does not imply a
forced paper currency. He proposed, he
said to convert the treasurys floating
debt, now nearly SOC, 100000 pesetas, into
small denominations of treasury bonds.
He explained the proposed conversion of
the external debt, but avoided any allu-
sion to the proposed tax on the national
debt Senior Puigcerver affirmed the
cessity of 20 per cent increase in all tax
alton, including that on agriculture.

FRUITS OF EVIL.
Pope Deplores and Criticises Disturb
ances in Italy.


Rome, May 25-The Observatory Ro-
man publishes a letter from the pope to
Cardinal Andra Ferrari, archbishop of
Milan, expressing profound emotion be-
cause of the grave disorders in Italy.
The pope says:
These disorders are the fruit of evil
seed, scattered with impunity in Italy,
which leads to the corruption of minds,
the preversion of morals and detriment
of religion.
I'VE have seen that, instead of ex-
orting and calming wicked people, hon
est citizens have been guilty of disord-
ers in a mistaken idea that they are de-
voting themselves to the interests of the
church and the Holy See affecting to
ignore the fact that the church teaches
men to avoid riOting but it was not the
Catholics who provoked the disorders,
the authors of which must be sought
elsewhere"
The pope could have wished, he
continued, that Cardinal Ferrari had
been at Milan at the time of the riot
ing in order to pacify the people and
he declares that he has been greatly
moved by the insults contained in the
manifesto against member of the sa-
cred college.
1T was not against the person of the
cardinal, who has always exempted
great pastoral charity, that the attacks
were directed, but the principles he
presented 1t is impossible to under
stand whittier such a campaign can lead
when the serial authority is shaken"
The pope declares, however, that he
has derived great consolation from the
evidences of devotion of which the arch
blshop has been the object and in con-
cIudlng the letter, expresses his conf
dence that the Catholic clergy at Milan
will remain under the influence of their
anectiOn for their pastor.
