WnOle-SOuled and hearty, WnO tdlkS eA- actly as *qM7 Dooley" talks, and whose perpetual loquacity, when standing behind his own bar, is source of in finite enjoyment to his guests. Ever since MT. Dunne began to immortalize
 MT. McGarry in his sketches. the latter has pretentded to entertain furious
 animosity against the writer. having
 gone so far as to threaten him with a
 bath of vichy if he should ever enter
 his place lCking as if he nee1ed it. It
 is more than probable, however, that
 the wrath is counterfeit; for the old
 gentlcman was never known to enter
 tain a grudge fer long against d pat
 ron who paid his way" Meanwhile
 MT. Dunne is drawing a hundred 1Ol-
 lars week from a syndicate for h's
 ''DCcley" sketches, and has grown fa-
 nous into the bargain. He can afford
 to let his friend McGarry nurse his
 wrath awhile.
 By his proposal for general disarma- ment the czar has done something more
 than stir up the nations. He has given
 the Roman church an opportunity to
 attempt another astute move toward
 a restoration of temporal sovereignty.

 has been quick to seize it. It is said
 t9 be the dream of Cardinal Rampolll
 to establish in Italy republican, fed
 eration with the pope as pre- ,iGen:. and
 in the furtherance of that object pa
 pal delegate to the coming peace con-
 gress would be of no little assistance.
 If the nations could be prevailed upon
 to receive such a delegate it is s'lr-
 missed that the status Of the holy see
 would at once assume a significance

 Roman question: the settlement of which might result in a recognition of
 the pope's so-called temporal power.
 Unfortunately for the success of this rosea'te example of Jesuit;cal statc- craft somebody 'let the cat out of 1hc
 bag" and Lord Salisbury has thrown ar insurmountable obstacle in the way by notifying Russia that England cannot take part in the psace confer ence fl Italy is excluded. Of course Italy could not send Q delegate if the papacy should be officially represented. and therefore the action O. che English government settles the matter.
 It is interesting to observe that the 
 policy of the Roman aCtholic hierarchy late undergone 6 radical change For merly the pope was full of conciliation and religious reunion, but now it Is all the Roman church CT everything else to the bow-wows. He openly sym palthized with Spain in our war with that loyal aCtholic country and his ar d5nt c0Quetry with France IS enra sing the German Catholics to such an extent that it looks as though the Black Pope" who is a Spaniard, had coun- 5eled his liege lord little tco much.
 Tn a comment upon 'TAe History of Q Man MT. W. L. Alden is moved to remark that If man were to WIite | I true history of himself it would have | an enormous sale" MT Alden's hu- nor is of so serious a nature at times | in which respect he is distinctively | ractive-that one has to be careful | n drawing deIducUiors from his ente" aiming estimates of men and things. In the present instance the idea he ,uggests, aside from his connection with it, opens up a debatable question. He thinks such a history would be ln- -ereSting and also repulstye, though le advances no convincing reasons as D why it should be the enc or the Jther. Perhaps he did nos regard it .s worth Whi,s, but fortunately we al eady possess the means of knowing. to
 m ample degree of certainty, just the lind of an autobiography . nlaE would ,TodUce who was so lost tO reason and Cmon sense as to tell the whole truth lEOut himself. Any 0n5 who wishes o obtain this knowledge can do so in
 well ordered lunatic asylum, for there he psychologist has learned that the hind governs itself by :he exercise of he faculties of consideration, cCTrec- ion and conclusion. If the faculty of erection be impaired, insanity re- ults. Now if a man were to write a rue history of himself ne could Only i've a chronological account of his onclusions, because in the world of bought nothing antacedent to a con- fusion possesses tangi5ilirJ. Since he battle of every mans mental exist nce is the same-merely q struggle for djustment with natural laWs-it fol- -ws that a true history of a man. in Id9r to be either interesting or repGl- i've, must be the history of some par cular man-one who has occupied, or till occupies a position of prominence l the community. Otherwise, the his cry would be stale and uninte"es1ing eoausa in itself it would be merely ] ePetition of what every intelligt Dt tudent of the mind already knows and l fact, has experienced. Thus it is cen that MT. Alden's j1ea is either | ainbow chaser or a su5tl3 humnriom nent the general Publics propensity ) buy trash.
