Praise From Nampa.

The business men and progressive
citizens Of Weiser are holding meet
lngs preparatory to raising money
for the purpose of lifting a $500
mortgage on the Weiser Academy.
This Is certainly laudable under
taking and one that reflects great
credit upon the people of that town
The academy is very valuable edu-
cational institution and ranks high
among other colleges of the kind in
the state. No impedimeot should
be left in the way of its further ad-
vancement that the power of gener-
Gus and good citizenship can remove.
That the people of Weiser are justly
proud of this school Is dem onstrated
by their present action -Namps

A Tariff Reform Devotee.

Grover Cleveland seems to have re-
markable capacity for not learning by
experience. He sagely repeats the adj
vice of 1S92-to make tariff reform the
issue-as if nothing had happened dur
ing the last twelve years. With Mr..
Cleveland tariff reduction is the sacred
solvent for everything. He can think
of no sacrifice too great for the nation
to make to secure tariff reform. He
seems to have a genius for curing the
''evils'' of prosperity. Well, he GER
tainly has demonstrated that his doc
trine will do this. He did it success
fully in 1898, and if the people will
only give him a chance he will do it
again in 1904. For curing the evils of
prosperity, demand for labor, high
wages and extension of business he
can be trusted to produce results every
time.-Guntons Magazine.

Would Be FOOlhardy.

At present, the country being ex-
tremely prosperous, it seems to us that
playing with the tariff would be fool
hardy to criminal degree. Such evils
as exist are very inconsiderable, espe-
cially compared with what would fol-
low agitation. Shall a man afflicted
with a corn have his leg amputated?
The one charge brought against our
present tariff is that some few are over
prosperous. Shall we declare, there
fore, that all should be plunged into
poverty? 1t would be foolish to over
look the fact that nearly all lines of
trade are highly prosperous merely be-
cause in few cases the success is in
ordinate and begets envy.-Lowell
Courier.

Rrvan as an Assistant.

Of course it will be expected that
Mr. Bryan will take the stump for the
Republican ticket if Mr.. Cleveland
should be nominated next year. The
Republicans could win without Bryan's
help on the stump, but we presume Mr..
Hanna or the manager of the canvass.
whoever he chances to be, will not put
the Nebraska man off the track if he
wants to aid the Republicans. The
outlook for the Republicans seems es-
pecially bright for the canvass Of 1904,
yet the campaign leaders should be
willing to accept two-thirds majority
in the electoral college if Mr.. Bryan
and his friends are willing to help
them to get it. AS an assailant of the
ex-president the ex-presidential candi-
date would be at his best. He would
be able to attract as big audiences as
greeted him when he was getting his
ovations in 1896 and 19O0.-St. Louis

Mr.. Hoke Smith of Georgia, who
was one Of President Clevelands cab
met officials, said in New York re-
Gently: "Our people are making money
The farmers are making money, and
we want that condition Of affairs to
continue" 1t necessarily follows that
it will not continue if party that has
opposed everything done to bring about
this great prosperity secures power
and proceeds to tear the tariff to pieces
and upset things generally. The fact
that the Democrats are advancing a
revenue tariff while at the same
time admitting the undeniable prosper
ity that now exists demonstrates their
incompetency to govern the country.
Tariff changes can only be made
safely by the Republicans. That is
equally true of the currency and other
important questions. The record Of
the Democratic party on these ques-
lions has been that of disaster. The
free trade and free silver element of
the party controls it. But both fac
tons oppose protective tariff.-Phila-

guardians and departed. Thirty thousand
French went by the way of Marseilles They
were placed on board vessels and sold into
slavery in Africa. Seven thousand Germans
went to Genoa-unable to find vessels, set
tied there, having suffered too much on the
way to try to return.
Gregory X, 1871, established the regula-
tions of the conclave for electing a pope,
which have never been changed.
Martin w., 1882, was the confederate and
ally of Charles of Anjou, conqueror of Sicily,
who, by cruelty, caused the massacre called
Sicilian Vespers, as happening at the hour
of vespers, Easter Monday, when 5000
French fell. Martin bore such enmity to the
German nation as to wish that Germany
was pond full of fish and he pike, that
he might swallow them all.
Boniface VIII, 1898, was another pope
who arrogated to himself the power to rule
kings and emperors. At his induction the
kings of Sicily and Hungary held his bride
on the way to Lateran and served him at
table with their crowns upon their heads.
1t was Boniface who first wore double
crown as a sign of power over spiritual and

passed on, musing how the angelfaces
should be brought to sing it.
The popes had no temporal power till the
days of Pepin. Charlemagne confirmed the
grants of his father and erected the holy
Roman empire, which was never shattered
till Napoleon changed the face of Europe.
Charlemagne journeyed to Rome and was
crowned by Leo Ill. in old st. Peters on
Christmas day, 800.
The greatest among popes was Hide
brand, styled Gregory VII, who assumed
the tiara in 1913. He raised the papacy to
the highest pinnacle it every attained; rem
dered it independent of the imperial power
which made it for ages the great bulwark
of order in Europe. He abolished lay-in-
vestiture and forbade the marriage of
priests, even compelled separation of those
who were married, to insure greater sancti-
ty, he claimed, yet the great prototype,
Peter, had a wife. With his feud with Hen
nv w. emperor of Germany, began that
quarrel between the secular and spiritual
dominions which reversed the positions of
pope and emperor and gave the papacy a
long and triumphant career of supreme DOM
nation in Europe. Henry would not tamely
submit having his imperial power subject
to the papacy The naughty, iron-willed
Hildebrand, from whose countenance every
one recoed as from lightning, excommuni-

temporal things, saying, 81 am Caesar, am
emperor" Seventy years later Urban V
added the third crown as sign OF the
power of the popes in Heaven, on earth and
in hell. Boniface communicated Philip
the Fair of France. Philip defended his roy
al rights-cut off the pope's supplies. 10
gain money, the pope sold indulgences to all
who would make pilgrimage TO Rome.
Two millions visited it in one year. 1t was
the beginning Of pope's jubilee and has
since been celebrated every % years. Philip
sent emissaries to seize the pope's person.
Boniface acted with spirit, donned his pom
tifcal robes and the tiara, took the keys
and the cross in his hand, seated himself in
the papal chair, saying, "Since l am be-
trayed as Jesus Christ was betrayed, will
die at least as pope" He was imprisoned
had such fear of poison he refused food.
He was soon released and died month Ia
ter. 1t was Boniface who exiled Dante, who
wrote of him that he gained the popedom
like fox, lived it like a lion, and died like
dog" Dante assigned him place in his
Inferno-indeed, Dante admitted neither
pope nor cardinal into Paradise, but there
are hosts of them in the Inferno.
On account of the civil wars in Italy
Clement V. settled at Avignon, 1905, and
began what is called the Babylonish captivi-

Fair he abolished the Templars.- The grand
