CUMMINS CONVERTED.
iowa PrOgressives Fall Back ON the
Platform of 1896.

Platform of 1896.
Some of the Democratic papers are
saying that President Roosevelt has
been converted to the Iowa idea re-
garding the tariff.
The fact is, however, that Governor
Cummins, one of the leading opponents
of the Iowa fad, has been won over to
the presidents side on that question.
According to revelations which have
just been made the president in the
interview which he had with the Iowa
on the platform of the St. Louis con-
vention of 1896, on which Mckinley
was nominated the first time.
That platform set forth: 'We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question of rates is practical
one, to be governed by the conditions
of the time and of production. The
ruling and uncompromising principle
is the protection and development
of American labor and industries"
Cummins acknowledged that he stood
on that declaration.

form expression of 1896 when they en-
acted the Dingley law of 1897. That
act has given the country satisfaction.
No sort Of trade statute can be eter-
nal and some time or other the Dingley
law will be revised by the Republicans.
1t is we'll to remember that this act
was one Of the big factors in the res
toration Of the prosperity which came
to the country very quickly after the
Democrats were turned out of the gov
eminent and the Republicans were put
in power.
The act has not yet outlived it's use
fulness. The president is convinced OF
the truth of this proposition. There
would be no sense in making any
changes in this law at the present time.

Gregory Kill, 1872, abolished the calen-

which has been adopted by all nations save
Russia. Upon hearing of the massacre of
st. Bartholomew, Gregory ordered jubi-

The most dramatic character among popes
was Sixtus ", 1885. He rose from the hum
blest walks Of life to be one of the greatest
Of rulers and statesmen. Under the mask
of pious simplicity, feignipg feeble old age,
he deceived the cardinals, who thought him
one to be easily managed His election as
sured, he threw down the staff on which he
had leaned, assumed the dignity and I'M
perlousness which never forsook him In his
short pontihcate OF five years. monu-
ment of his greatness was the building OF the
aqueduct, p miles long. He compared him
self TO Moses, whose statue he raised,
fetching water from the rock by the potent
touch of his staff He raised the obelisk in
front of st. Peters a feat thought to be inn
possible. There was the penalty of death
for anyone who spoke during the process.
When the vast thing swayed and seemed
about to fall, voice rang from out the
crowd, "Wet the ropes" The obelisk was
saved; for once Sixtus revoked his word
He founded the vatica library and crowned
st. Peters with its noble dome. He despised
Philip H., yet contributed to equip his Ar
mada He admired Elizabeth of England
and Henry of Navarro, but for policy's sake
accommodated both. In his humorous
way, he would talk of mating with Eliza
beth as the only woman who equaled him in
greatness, saying, what d match it would
be-" He was the last pope kings have had
to fear. People, hating him, marveled at
his glory-said he had made contract with
the devil, by whose aid he had risen step by
step, and that the stipulated period having
expired, his soul had been carried away in
O tempest.
Clement VIII, 1891, absolved Henry Of
Navarro, consented to his divorce from
Marguerite. In defiance of the pope, Henry
issued the Edct of Nantes.
In the pontifcate of Urban VIII, 1888,
Calico was confined in the prisons of the in
QUESTION for declaring the earth moved
round the sun. To save himself from tor
ture, upon his Bonded knees before ignor-
ant monks, his hand upon the Bible he re-
nounced his theory. He rose, indignant
with himself, stamped his foot and ex-
claimed, "And yet it does move" which con-
demned him to dungeons for another three
years.
In the pontifcate of Innocent X, 1914,
Louis XIV was persuaded to revoke the
EGict of Nantes.
Clement X, 1870, received into the Cath
Ollie church Christina, daughter of Gustavus
Adolphus, who had abdicated her throne.
Under great pressure from the sovereigns
of Europe Clement XIV, 1859, abolished the
order of the Jesuits From that time he
led life of anxiety, fear and repentance.

Henry Watterson grows more and

No Need of Haste.

The whole question is one on which
we need not act hastily. The pros and
cons of all the schedules need thrash
ing out, and, as tariff tinkering is now
impracticable, it seems to us that
Roosevelt's and Roots programme is a
good one, Let prosperity alone.
Tariff agitation on one schedule natu-
rally spreads over ALL and all schedules
can best be revised after November,
1904, should business conditions then
invite.
At all events, the revision of the
American protective system by its
friends in 1897 seemed to work good
deal better than revision by it's enemies
in 1S93.-BostOn Journal.

Col. Mills, superintendent of the West
Point academy, has a reputation for
sternness even among army men. Years
ago, when he first took command of the
post at Buffalo, he found that station ex-
tremely lax in discipline, and it was no
secret among his friends that he pro-
posed to work some reforms. Shortly
after his installation he was one day an
noyed by the receipt of telegram from
a subordinate off on furlough, which
read "Will not report to-day, as ex-
pected, account unavoidable clrcum-
stances"
The tone of the message was not at all
to Col. Mills mind, and he wired at once
in reply: Report as expected or give
reasons"
Within an hour the following message
came over the wires, from hospital in
New York:
"Train off-can't ride; legs off-cant
walk. Will not report unless you IN
sist"
The colonel did not insist-N. Y. Trib-

The greatest work of Plus VI, ITS, was
the draining of the Pontine marshes. He
had the modification to witness the $50
lutte decay of the holy see. He lost Avignon,
was deprived of all authority in Rome-by
the order of Napoleon was taken to France
as a prisoner, where he died.
Plus VII, in 1900, was elected pope by
French influence, Napoleon astonishing the
world by saying Society without religion
is like a ship without compass" Plus re-
stored the Jesuits. Hoping to save the
wreck of papal power, he reluctantly con-
sented to go to Paris to crown Napoleon,
who crowned himself and treated the pope
with little respect. When Napoleon donned
the iron crown at Milan, Plus refused to
be present. He refused to recognize Joseph
Bonaparte as king of Naples and 70 shut his
ports against English ships, ard even threat
ened to excommunicate Napoleon himself.
On refusing to renounce all claims to tenn
poral power he was taken prisoner, carried
to France and confined in Foutainebleau.
After Waterloo, he was released and the
papal territories in Italy restored.
Plus TX, 1896 began his pontifcate by
releasing all political prisoners. He pro-
claimed papal infallibility dogma of the

Strikes Are For Advances.

In local circles, too, the strikes are
for advances of wages, not reductions
thereof. 1t isn't strictly polite to rub
it in on the free traders in this fash
ion, but the truth is eternal and must
prevail. Compared with the number
of strikes since the Dingley tariff went
into effect, begun because of reduction
of wages. the number of those which
were instituted for increases are as the
seashore to a grain of sand.-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

At Rome, on June oath, occurred
what many believe is last public con-
sistory held under Pope Leo XIII.
When the pope appeared before the
vast multitude he is described as look
ing little more wax-like, a little
more bowed, and his voice somewhat
thinner, than when last seen in pub
lie. It was with difficulty that he
rose from his chair to impart his ben
ediction. For many years Pope Leo
has been. described as a but loosely
imprisoned spirit. He has kept him
self alive not through the strength Of
his body, but through the energy of
his mind. But all agree that, despite
his fast growing weakness, his mind
is as clear and strong as in the days of
his youth, and among the greatest old
men of the present he is to be consid-
cred easily the leader. The esteem in
which he is held extends far beyond
the limits of the Roman communion,
and Protestant has We'd with Catholic
in enthusiastic eulogy of him. The
death of the pope will mean a great
loss to the religious world, for it will
take many years for another pope, no
matter personally how worthy, to gain
such position of moral influence.
