THE OUTCOME OF IGNORANCE.

The reports put forth from time to
time regarding the affairs of the Roman
Catholic church by certain ill-informed
persons and stamped with an appearance
of credibiHty through being circulated by
reputable news agency are too often
mainly remarkable for their exasperating
inaccuracy and-to the well informed
Catholic-their utter absurdity. OF this
character was the report that certain of
the Catholic clergy had been authorized
by the pope to marry, report winch
Cardinal Satolli recently took the trouble
to contradict Another such report has
recently been put in circulation, which
has no more foundation in truth than
the former report, and Is to the erect
that the pope has designated Cardinal
Gotti as his successor. 1t Is scarcely
worthy of contradiction, and probably
this statement may go uncontradlcteo'
but a report that the president OF the
United States had designated his sue
cessor would be equally worthy OF
credence and just as possible of eXecu-
ton. The method Of papal elections Is
not capable of such innovation as would
be entailed by the designation by the
sovereign pontiff of his successor, and the
adherence of the college Of cardinals to
the rule prescribed and usages followed

PULL TT DOWN AT ONCE.

The discoveries regarding the condition
Of the county jail, made by the building
inspectors office, will occasion but little
surprise. The place has for years been
unfit for human habitation. The portion
of 1t directly given over to the incarcera-
ton of prisoners does not possess ade-
Nquate sanitary provision for the housing
Of cattle. 1t represents, indeed, but little
of an advance In that regard on the orig
inaI lookup which was maintained while
the raising of vegetables was yet q
furnishing industry on the present site
of the city's business center.
There is a certain timeliness about the
discoveries Of the building inspectors Of
flee which is of decided value In itself
The report Of the state commissioner of
charities was effective in calling public
attention to the wretched old shack and
to the discredit which rests on the county
through It's maintenance. Mere senti-
mental considerations are not likely to
be of much account, and many would be
disposed to regard Mr.. Jackson's criticism
on the sanitary conditions of the jail as
being little more than mere sentiment.
Now, that the entire structure is shown
to be in danger of falling about the ears
of its inmates public authority may be
induced to seriously consider the need Of
immediate action. The place is public

The Fashoda incident, as we'll as the en-
tire wretched judicial farce Of Dreyfus,
revealed the mass Of the people of France
to be suffering from the same complaint
as their prominent politicians.
How long the prevailing quiet in France
will be maintained remains to be seen.
French public life is never at rest. The
disturbed and threatening conditions
which may any day be called into exist
ence through the prevailing struggle in
South Africa are fraught with danger
to French quiet. But from all present
indications, unless some outside influence
arises to promote excitement in France,
there is a reasonable assurance that in
it's internal concerns the French repub-
lie, with the disappearance of these few
insignificant plotters, will have entered
ON a period of peace which it is to be
hoped will not be speedily disturbed.

THE SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.


During the past two weeks the situa-
ton in South Africa has changed but
slightly There has been a steady mass
ing Of forces by both British and Boer
at the Modder and Tugela rivers and this
week may see the commencement Of a
desperate conflict. It is scarcely prob
able that Gen. Butler will wait the ar
rival of Lord Roberts before renewing
hostflities, while the Beers are apparent
ly fully prepared for resistance and have
enormously strengthened their position
by extended defensive works. Gen. Bull
Ter is said to have a force of not less than
$4,000 men and fifty guns opposed to Gen.
Joubert who has force not much in
ferior in men and said to be superior in
artillery.
The condition of the towns beleaguered
by the Beers, Ladysmith and Kimberley,
is not improved and cannot be except
by decided British successes, while the
condition of Mafeking is probably becom-
ing desperate for the besieged
South of the Orange Free State, in
Northern Cape Colony and Northwest
Natal, where Gems. Gatacre and French
are operating, greater activity has been
shown by the British and some minor
successes are reported, which, while they
may have a moral effect upon the recall
eltrant Beers in the district, can have no
effect upon the outcome of the struggle.
The British have forced their way TO
Colesberg and probably control the line
Of railroad running east from De Aar to
Stormberg.
Further British reinforcements are on
the way, but cannot be available before
February, so that they will not be of
any service to Gen. Butler, but will fur
nish the means to Lord Roberts to for
mulate new plan Of campaign If the
plans of Gen. Butler, which will be on
their final trial this week, end in failure,

THE END OF THE CENTURY.

The latest contribution to the flood Of
literature bearing upon the vexed. but to-
tally ridiculous, controversy respecting
the time Of the end of the nineteenth
century ard the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth Is furnished by Editor c. H. War
ner, Of the Aitkin Age. 1t is notewor-
thy and highly creditab1e to the common
sense of Editor Warner that his opinion
is Numerically opposed to that of the
Emperor William of Germany and other
high but equally misguided personages.
He holds that the nineteenth century
ends when it enos, and not before, which
proposition Is so lucid that the G
need throw no further light upon it. In
cidentally, the Age reproaches the Pioneer
Press for having badly mixed up the
question after having previously straight

HENRY U. JOHNSON.
Attorney at Law.
st. Louis, Mo.

The name of Mr.. Johnson by this time
has probably been forgotten throughout
the United States, but In the lower house
OF the last congress he cut quite a figure
He represented an Indiana district In the
lower house and during his career as a
member Of congress created considerable
interest, because of his peculiar course
in opposing the policies of the Repub lean
administration. MIR. Johnson was elected
as Republican from the district he rep
resented in Indiana, and upon one or two
occasions, in debate, was able to defeat
every man who stood up against him.
lie tried conclusions with such men as
Grosvenor, of Ohio; Payne, of New York;
Dolliver, Of Iowa, and men of lesser prom
tnence on the Republican side of the
chamber.
1t will be recalled that when resolu-
ticns were pending looking to the recog-
milton of the belligerent rights of the
Cubans then engaged in war with Spain,
the Indiana representative opposed
every measure, every resolution, every
effort upon the part Of the administration
or Its representatives in the house, In
dealing with what was then the most i'm
portant question IN the Fifty-flfth con-
gress. Mr.. Johnson was a hot-headed
member and gave the Republicans any
amount of trouble, caused CONSERVATION
in the administration ranks, and while
he failed In his efforts to defeat the
measures proposed by his colleagues and
the president, he created such stir that
at many times it was believed the
peculiar views he held would be adopted.
Mr.. Johnson failed, however, and at the
expiration of his term decided to seek
pastures new and green, and therefore
located in the Missouri metropolis as a
lawyer, and reports from st. Louis in
dictate that his peculiar abilities are there
recognized and that he Is making sue.

to beat down rivals.
1t is anticipated at this time that Henry
u. Johnson has an ambition to again be-
come member of the United States con-
gress. Whether or not he aspires to any,
thing higher than a seat In the lower
house Is not known by his friends at this
time. Should the Missouri legislature
which will select a successor to Mr.. Vest
be Republican, there is possibility that
the late representative from Indiana may
get something better IN the way of po-
litical Office than was given him at the
hands of the people of the Hoosier state
In view of the fact that Mr.. Johnson
seems to be endeavoring to push himself
forward politically, he will not even sur

PROTESTING FRENCH PATRIOTS.


The conviction of the plotters against
the French republic which has just been
announced will be welcomed by all
friends OF the French people. The SEN
fences imposed will, however, strike the
American reader as being characteristic
of French criminal justice. Had these
men been all sentenced to spend a given
period in prison 1t seems fairly certain
that they and their cause would soon
pass into the oblivion which their foolish
performances entitle them to. The sem
tence Of Punishment or exile is in itself
a rather amusing expression of the ma
tional condemnation. Surely men who
perate plight as these glorious patriots
declare France now to be, beyond their
power to offer any relief, should regard 1t
as in the nature of personal kindness
on the part of the criminal authorities
to order them to foreign climes.
What delightful drollery distinguishes
the addresses delivered by these ardent
patriots! "You have dealt me a blow.
Thank you," exclaims M Buffet. st

not to the ordinary jail, but to a military
bastile, while the other two are made
to quit the country.
This sort of thing has been in progress
since the days of the Orleanist restora-
ton. 1t has been re-enacted time after
time, and the passing victims of this Sen
timental expression of mflitarism have
always reappeared sooner or later in the
Paris cafes inviting their friends to greet
them as heroes and martyrs. And they
have been so greeted. and many Of them
have lived to do some additional mis-
| chief, more or less serious, to France.
| It is surprising what a singular lack Of
| Imagination seems to run throughout all
French political life. There is total
absence of all sense Of the ludicrous.
The French seem in their politics to be
absolutely impervious to humor. The
| French politician who is capable Of ex-
pressing himself without any symptoms
of hysteria would doubtless be regarded
as altogether too tame for liberation.
