THE POPE AND THE PLAY.
For The Tribune.


for Inc tribune.
For fifteen hundred years, and over. the
history of the popeS is the record of
Christianity. Their influence during all
that time was practically paramount IN
the political and the religious world. The
papacy was not exempt from the frailties
of human nature. There We're great
popes and papal mediocrities; there were
good popes, and their lineage altogether
overshadOws If 1T does not oblterate, the
folly. the weakness and the wickedness
of the few pontiffs whose careers have
sullied the lustre of the throne or the
fishermen. A pope is an historical per-
sonage. His reign IL open to inspection.
lie is no more excluded by his character
or pontificial associations from secular
criticism than the sovereign or states
man engaged in the ordinary affairs or
the world. The genius Of the Catholic
church lies in its claim TO an uninter-
rupted continuity through Its popes from
its institution TO our own day. Without
reverting to what some historians regard
as the mythical embellishments or It's
primitive development. no one can deny
that all the sceptres of the modern world
are sapings when laid over against tne
petritied wood that hefts the shepnerd
crook of Leo. 1t Is impossible to doubt
that amid much misrepresentation ana
eXaggeration, the history OF the popes

mankind on the one side, and their set

that if the arrogant pretensions of the
papacy led to the reformation IN the Six
teenth century, 1t was the conservatOr of
civilization from the fall of the Roman
empire until that time, and coincident in
time and predispositlon of circumstances
was the renaissance, which was only pos
sible through the literary and artistic an
tiquities which We're preserved In the
vatican and other religious establish
ments, and owed their preservation
largely to the patronage of the popes.

RECEIVING CITY TAXES.
About $4,000 Day Being Taken in
by the City Treasurer.

City taxes are now being received
by the city treasurer without an added
penalty and will continue to be so re-
ceived until councils fix some definite
date, after which penalty shall be ex-
acted. About $4,000 IA day is now being
paid in.
Aug. 30 is usually the last day on
which taxes may be paid without a
penalty unless councils extend the
time, which is generally done. but this
year the tax duplicates were not re-
ceived by the treasurer until after that
date so that precedent is no guide. 1t
is likely that the date fixed will be
about Dec. 10.

IOWA is o. X.
Will Be No Division in This State
Hepburn Makes Report.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Congressman
Hepburn OF Iowa is in Washington for
few days on business before the diff
ferent departments. Col. Hepburn re-
lterates what has already been stated
by other prominent Iowa republicans
to 1.-THE effect that undue
prominence has been given
to the tariff revision plank
in the Iowa republican platform. The
declaration is attracting much more
attention in other states than in Iowa,
according to Col. Hepburn. "The Iowa
republicans are in splendid shape for
the coming political contest said Col.
Hepburn, land there is no division in
their ranks over the tariff question OF
any other question. l have no reason
to think that any of the republican
nominees for congress will be in dan
ger in Iowa this fall. The democrats
always have me beaten before the
election is held and | suppose they
are still of that way of thinking. The
democrats in Iowa are peculiar to our
state. They fight, no matter what the
outlook against them is.
Page county, my home county, IL
Illustrates forcibly the financial condi-
ton and contentment of the people of
my district and of Iowa in general.
On August 1 the banks in the county,
which has a total population of $4,000,
had individual deposits in their Gus
tody of $2,752 900, an average of $110
for every man, woman and child in the
county. This is four times the per
capita circulation of the United States
in general. Yet the democrats will
nominate tickets and fight along the
same lines. Prosperity has never
been greater. The democrats in my
district have placed in nomination a
Mr.. Davis of Fremont. He is most
estimable and pleasant man."
