Ing great deal Of attention now, slncn
the recent decisions By Judge s,androd.
He decided that the state could not re-
cover from the receiver Of the bank. In
another suit against the treasurer Of

has held them responsible for tho money
that the county treasurer deposited In
the bank under conditions similar TO
those OF the state trcasurcr's deposit.
There Il suit pending in che dis.

Ing and his bondsmen. This suit IL
based on the theory that, a. sfr. Blunt

plated by law.
10 the meantime there Il talk Of Mr..
Storer aud his bondsmen being released
from responsibility because Of these
suits and the action Of the state auditor
In connection with the account.
IL appears that the state auditor
placed the amount in suspense account
this being done after receipt Of a Ger.
tificate from the clerk OF the district
court OF ADA county that suit had been
started against Bunting and his bonds-
men. The amount was taken out Of the
general fund and placed in the suspense
account. The certificate from the clerk
OF the court was set forth on tho audi.
tors books, and the transfer was made
with the explanatory note that II was
because the money had not been re.
ceived. II is understood that this entry
is relied upon TO relieve the present
treasurer and his bondsmcn.
Asked about the matter, State Audi.
tor Anderson stated that the notation
was made In accordance with state.
ment made TO him at the time to the Of.
feet that the bank failed after the check
was given by MIR. Bunting and before
1t could be collected. Had Il not been
Tor this statement he said tho transfer

The facts In the case are that a check
Tor some s32, 900 on his bank was turned
over by Mr.. Bunting and this was dc.
posted by the new treasurer In the
same bank. The failure did not occur
until some time later. When Il did
occur, batch Of warrants was on Tho

One Coed.

Whatever may be the end Of the
Spanish Cuban troubles, one lasting
good has come from them to this coun-
try. They have ohliterated forever
all sectional bitterness that grew out
of the civil war.
Republican speakers can no longer
indulge in their bloody-shirt oratory
and charge that confederate Briga-
diers" are in the saddle riding to the
destruction of the dearest institutions
of the country. No people, North,
East or West have responded more
promptly to the anticipated demands
of the country than the Southern peo-
pie. They have given every assurance
Of support when the battle comes.
For thirty-two years these people
have borne with wonderful patience
the intimation and oftentimes open
charges against their loyalty; they did
not talk but labored on TO rebuild their
ruined fortunes, but an opportunity Ia
given now TO speak and they speak In
action so loudly as to drive away every
suspicion of disloyalty that lurked
10 the breast of their Northern friends.
The South is ready TO go TO the tented
field. Longstreet, Fitz Lee, Joe Wheeler
and other old leaders have spoken for
IT, and shame be TO him who will again
cherish the thought that an Office IL
wrapped In bloody-shirt, or that there
is any glory, honor, fame or distinction
IN preaching hateful sectionaIism.

tolic visits and prefect of the congre- gation of residences of bishops. He Is besides highly learned and credited with exercising more personal sway in the College of Cardinals than any other member
 Cardinal Satolli, who is bound to Leo XIII by many personal considerations, is also possibility for the papacy, but he is too new a member in the College of Cardinals to have attained that de- gree of influence deemed essential.
 It is not the purpose of the Italian Cardinals, who are largely in the ma jority, to allow any other than an Ital- ian being elected Pope. It has been done, of course, but certainly not be- cause they wanted it so. If owing to strife, policy and unforeseen circum- stances 1t should be found necessary to go outside of Italy for the next Pope, Cardinal Ledochowski, first priest of the college and prefect of the propa- ganda, would be far in the lead.
 It is said that Ledochowski, Ram polla and Satolli have been named by Leo XIII as his executors, and that they are to see that his Holiness is in- tered in the Church of St. John Late ran in proximity to the tomb of Innocent H. Signor Lucchetti, the famous Italian sculptor, Is to carve the tomb from marble from design made by the Pope himself.
 Concerning the war 1t was the Pope's most ardent wish that he should be called upon to arbitrate between the two countries. It is an open secret that in order to achieve this much-deslred end he exhausted every means at his disposal and called into active play the splendid diplomatic machinery of the Vatican, which Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of state, knows so well how to manipulate. In order that the people of this overwhelmingly Protest ant country should not accuse the papacy with wanting to take too much of an interest in the temporal affairs of this nation his Holiness, when he felt the time had come to make such representations as could most fittingly come from him, chose as his mouth piece not his own personal delegate and ecclesiastical ambassador to the church in the United States, Monsignor Martinelli; not the primus of the Amer ican hierarchy, Cardinal Gibbons; not the metropolitan of the chief archdio- cese in the United States, Archbishop Corrigan, but Archbishop Ireland, who has the reputation of being intensely loyal to his country and because he Is so none the less loyal to the See Of Rome.
 To have addressed the President through Monsignor Martinelli on the momentous question at issue between this country and Spain would have ognition for his delegate, and Leo XIII is too highly trained a dipIomat and his advisers are too keenly accom- pliShed in the same art to give occasion for such a faux pas as this. To have used Cardinal Gibbons for this purpose would have been equally an error, and Archbishop Corrigans known repug

time of need and 1t has even been mentioned that the Emperor might with becoming grace cede to the Pope one of the small principa1t1es or his empire, where his holiness could ad- minister the affairs of Catholic Chris tendon uninfiuenced by either temporal or other annoying considerations, for be it known, should the papacy ever change its base of operations, temporal Jurisdiction over the territory 1t occu- pies will be demanded. In this and all other matters pertaining to the church in Germany Emperor William 1nvar- iably consults the scholarly and diplo- matic Cardinal Kopp, Bishop of Bres- lau, who enjoys the distinction of be- ing not only immensely popular at the German court, but is also prime Ia vorite with Leo XIII. Cardinal Kopp Is credited with having said that very nice way to settle the ill-feeling be- for the latter to cede the province of Alsace- Lorraine to the Pope, and the two countries conjointly guarantee it's sovereignty.
 The throne of Italy is resting on the edge of a volcano, and the signs point to dynastic changes and the probable overthrow of the monarchy. The Vati- can has ample means for keeping well informed of public sentiment, and has
 
 the overthrow of the monarchy would involve the papacy it is not possible to estimate but the Pope has taken we'll into his consideration every possible eventuality. If obliged to leave Rome himself 1t has been thought that France might again welcome him on its soil and afford an abiding place at Avignon, which has already been the home of the papacy But those who imagine this possible do not take into their consideration two very important points. First, France is not now the intensely Catholic country she once was and second, the French nobility, they of the Faubourg St. Germain, would not accord an enthusiastic wei come to Leo XIII. Speaking through their spiritual representative, Cardinal Richard they StrenuouSly opposed the Pope's recognition of the French re- public, and they have consequently never forgiven him for according his moral support to the form of govern ment so diametrically opposed to the so-called divine right of kings. France is not thought of, then, seriously as a harbor of refuge for the papacy, and Cardinal Richard is revenged for the manner in which his advice was passed over.
 Until the present war Spain was the most likely place for the Pope to look for home III the event UT Rome De- coming untenable, for by every con- sideration and tradition Spain Is the most ultra Catholic country In the world to-day. Her sovereigns have ever been famed for their unswerving loyalty to the holy see, and the Popes advice has frequently been sought and followed in matters pertaining to the civil life. The Queen Regent of to- day enjoys the special protection of Leo XIII, and his Holiness is god father of the boy King. Alphonso XIII. But viewed in all it's aspects, Spain is an utterly impossible home for the pa pacy. The astute Leo would not care

to cast in his lot with a nation which is tottering upon the very brink or rum and which could not afford the neces- sary guarantee of safety and protec- tion.
 The only other country in Europe which may be taken into serious con sideration is Austria, but for some req son not made plain the Pope has not been encouraged to find a haven there. Those members of the College Of Car dinals appointed from Austria are Tn every sense of the word princes or the church and enjoy privileges not known by ecclesiastics in any other country. Their revenues are enormous; they i've in regal state, surrounded by all the pomp and circumstance peculiar to court life and they make their infiu- ence felt in the civil as we'll as the re- ligious life of the nation. They are in- tense partisans of royalty and sup porters of all measures deemed neces- sary for safeguarding the prerogat1VeS of the crown. But, like nearly every other country in Europe, Austria mas her own internal troubles, not the least difficult of which is the want of thor oughly sympathetic union between Austria and Hungary
 Whether the Pope would be allowed to leave Rome is another phase or tle question which must not De lost slsnl of. As at present constituted the od- cred College or CarOlnalS ls Col1ipl i'oO chiefly of Italians, who firmly believe that it is not possible for the papacy to exist anywhere else except in Rome There, in the imperial city so rich in history and tradition, the throne of St Peter was established and there It must remain. The Italian Cardinals say the existence of the papacy is not dependent upon the machinations or acts of men, and they refuse to con- sider any proposition that shall remove the papacy from the Eternal City. Car dinal Rampolla, Papal Secretary or State, is one of these, and so is Cardi- nal Capecelatro, Archbishop of Capua and librarian of the Roman Catholic church. These men are repr sentative of the older body of Cardinals, ultra conservative in their views and un- swerving in their loyalty to Rome as the ever-to- be home of the papacy. Among the younger Cardinals who hold this same view and one lyho is an

CARDINAL ROnPOLLA
PAPAL SECRETARY oFsArE

~%HE uncertain state of the Pope's
 health is well appreciated in
 Vatican circles, and every pre-
 "A paration has been made to meet
 all eventuaites consequent up- on his death While Leo XIII is not now and never has been particularly robust, he has always lived with such a regard for the most exacting laws Of health which govern his own person that he is said to practically carry his life ia his own hands. By this is meant that if the Pope should lessen his care full watch of his own condition the con- sequences " puld be dangerous. In his zeal to do more than S strength would allow he might undermine his now feeble constitution, but Pic Centra, his personal attendant, Is always on hand to prevent this, and consequently Leo XIII continues to astonish the world with his great capacity for mental and physical endurance. In the matter of food and drink his Holiness has been abstemious to a degree and the most exacting principles of hygiene he has most faithfully observed.
 In consequence of his regular mode Of living, therefore, the Pope has insured for himself a much longer period than the years usually allotted to the aver age human being. Those who belong to the Pope's personal. entourage and who see him daily do not. 1t is said. look for any immediate breakdown of his physical condition, but they do not disguise from one another that the tragic happenings of the present time, the war between the United States and Spain, and the political condition of Italy, and its bread riots and other so- cial upheavals, may have such an ef- feet on the Pope's health as to bring about a collapse.
 That the Pope himself realizes his precarious condition Is evidenced by the fact that for some time past he has been busily engaged putting his house in order for his successor. Who his successor in the chair of St. Peter will be is not possible for human minds to prophecy. It is said that his Holiness, had he the power of appointing the next Pope would assuredly leave the triple tiara to Cardinal Rampolla, who is thoroughly in sympathy with his policy.
 To guide the ecclesiastical ship of state through the breakers of political unrest, which seems to be the national condition wherever the Roman Cath ollie church is the state religion, has been Cardinal Rampolla's difficult task, and for his great success ne mas earned not only the gratitude of the holy father but also the admiration of all parties of his church, and also the statesmen of the various countries of the world. Popular though he is, how ever, Cardinal Rampolla has formi- dable rival in Cardinal Parocchi, one of the most important personages in Vatican circles. Besides being the Vicar General of the Pope, Cardinal Parocchi is also subdeacon of the Sa- cred College, secretary of the congre- gation of the universal inquisition. president of the congregation of apos-
