of Paul himself; but this led to bit
ter opposition on the part of the
Jews. So hostile did they become
that Paul was at last constrained to
depart from the synagogue and to
direct his efforts toward teaching the
Gentiles.
The scene of PauTs labors was now
changed from the synagogue to the
house of on Justus. Here the divine
favor was abundantly manifested,
and Crispus, the ruler of the syna-
gogue, believed and many of the
Corinthians also believed and were
baptized.
In the midst of life's battles, God
sometimes vouchsafes to us wonder
full visions of coming victory, which
serve to nerve US to continue fighting
manfully to the end for God and the
right. So to Paul, engaged in active
Christian warfare, there came a Wis
ion from God which encouraged him
to continue faithfully the struggle to
win the Corinthians from their
evil ways to a saving knowl-
edge of the Lord Jesus Christ. And
strengthened by this vision, Paul con-
tinued to labor on, constantly win
ming new souls for the Master, and
prolonging his stay until he had spent
a year and six months in the city of
Corinth.

The Pope,s Humble Origin.


That Plus Y should be of humble orr
sin is thoroughly in keeping with the
spirit of the times and with the mani
fest desire Of he Roman Catholic Church
to impress upon the people that il is in

the contrary as much Of O democracy as
any republic, modern or ancient, sort
OF spiritual commonwealth, in which a

may rise through merit 20 the lofticst
emincnce and TO the most exalted office.
by the election of his colleagues. In
one word. the elevation Of Cardinal
Sarto, brother Of a village tobacconiat.
of a village postmaster. and of village
dressmakor. to the chair Of St. Peter
shows to the world that in the same way
that every soldier is supposed TO carry
in his knaps5ck the baton OF field mar
shall. so every priest may be looked upon
as a possible successor to the tiara.
Both Leo XIII and Plus * belonged by
birth to the aristocracy. Indeed so many
of the PonuTs in modern times have
been of noble origin that very wide
spread belief had been created chat blue
blood was an indispensable qualification
for the office Of PontfT. In fact. / have
heard even at Rome several cardinals
mentioned in Vatican circles as being in

sequence Of the obscurity OF their birth
and the plebian nature Of their parent

Seat; namely. the Sea OF GaHlee fisher

Johnson in the Lead.

Johnson II lAe L5aQ.
There seems to be little. IL any. doubt
now that the Hon Tom L. Johnson,
mayor Of Cleveland, will be the Demo
cratic candidate for governor Of Ohio
his fall. For months there has been
much speculation upon this point. and
politicians have been wondering whether
Johnson would take the nomination for
the governorship or whether he would
concentrate all his energies upon the
legislative fight in the hope of prevent
ing the return Of Senator Hanna TO the
Senate. DOUBT as to his acceptance Of
the nomination is removed by his OH
claI announcement that ii it is the viii
of the party he Will lead the fight this
fall. As Mr.. Johnson controls the party
in Ohio, its will will nominate him.
As the prospects for the success OF the
Democratic State ticket are so poor this
year. there is no contest over the nomi-
nation. practically the only aspirant be
sides Mr. Johnson being the Hon. John
L. Zimmerman, Of Springfield. Since
Mr.. Johnson has declared that he would
accept the nomination II IS quite prob
able that Mr. Zimmerman's name viii
not now be presented to the convention
and that Johnson viii be named by &C
clamation.

Austria and Plus.

II was fortunate from al international
point Of view that Plus Y should De q

in matters Of state. For otherwise the
Auetro- Hungarian empire would have

hending not merely lacI, on his part Of
that sympathy displayed by Leo XII
and by Plus * toward the dual empire
but actual hostility. The fact of tEe
matter is that the new Pope is a native
Of that particular portion Of the king
dom of Italy where animosity against
everything pertaining to Austria Is so
intense that It may be said TO be i'm
libed with the mothers milk. It affects
every relation OF life and people Of
every social grade in the province cf
Venice and fl Is difficult TO believe that
the new POnuT can have remained
wholly uninGucnced by the prejudices of
the people among whom he was reared
to whom he is related by ties Of blood
and Of sympathy.
OF course his long career in the SER
vice Of the church may have in a mea-
sure modified these views with regard TO
Austria while the elevation TO the p0-
sltlon of PontIF gees far to remove The
holder Of that exalted office above IA

Our somewhat irascible and not
over-poEte correspondent complains
Of an article, in the course Of which
we took the liberty to remark that
Mr.. Bryan's coneeit was-not to put
too fine a point on it-monumental.
We also ventured to observe that in
asmueh as Mr.. Bryan seemed to be
dead politically it might be well, per
Laps, to bury the remains and permit
the Democratic procession TO resume
marching That. and nothing more.
To this our correspondent takes
violent exception. He would retain,
i seems, his place upon the mouruerS'
bench He would the wake went
on. lie would shout for -'the peerless
one" first. last and all the time.
We cannot quarrel with our Ches-
terfeldian correspondent over the en-
thusiasn which he displays in discuss
ing the great qualities Of Mr.. Bryan.
Indeed, we have no disposition what
ever TO do it. As well might we find
fault with Titania when, addressing
Bottom, she exclaims:
Come. sit thee down upon hi, ao7yery bed,
While / thy amia5lo checks 40 COY.
It Is too warm, anyway, these days,
for a discussion Of this kind. Mr.
Bryan, moreover, has been kind
enough, as we suspected he would. to
furnish himself, before the ink on the
letter Of our courteous correspondent
was fairly dry. an answer such as we
ourselves could never have hoped to
make TO the structures Of our iudig-
rant friend.

A Picturesque Campaign Assured.

With Mayor johnson at the head OF the
ticket an interesting and picturesque
campaign is assured. and in the end ihe
only question viii be the size of Colonel
Herrick's majority. Not since the Hon.
Jim Campbell was elected governor
have the Democrats been able to chose
a State officer IN Ohio, and they are IN
no better shape this year than they
have been for decade. In fact, It is
not likely that Mayor Johnson has more
than the most remote hope or expec-
tation Of winning, but he will make an
effort to cut down the Republican ma
jority. The principal fight viii still be
on the legislative ticket, and the
mayors friends believe that with him
IS the nominee for governor. there will
be better chance Of carrying the Leg
isIature than otherwise. Although Mr..
Johnson has said that he is not q can
didate fer The Senate, It is quite prob
able that II a Democratic Legislature
should be chosen he would come 10
the Senate. and his interest in the defeat
OF senator Hanna would seem to lend
support TO this belief. The contest Cor
governor will determine Mayor John
sons chances Of obtaining the Demo
cratic nomination. for President, to a
large extent. Should he be elected
which is, Of course, highly improbable
or should he come within few thousand
Of defeating Colonel Herrick. he would
at once be placed in the front rank OF
hand, should he be defeated by a large
majority, he viii be eliminated from
consideration altogether.
