Pope Leo XIII.

So often have unwarranted reports of the
approaching dissolution of Pope Leo been
sent forth from Rome during the past few
years that the announcements of Saturday
night and Sunday that a serious illness had
developed were received with conservative
incredulity. But soon their authenticity
was made manifest and the world was
brought to understand that the venerable
pontiff was approaching the close Of his
long career.
Pope Leo's personal character has ap-
pealed to the people OF all lands and all
creeds by it's sweetness and strength. His
encyclicals bore the stamp of the scholar
and the friend of humanity. They were
written in a style to command the respect
of the literary world. and in a vein to in
sure a reading by numbers of non-Catho-
lies. They made for enlightenment and
progress. liberation and beneficenoe.
The fragile body of the prisoner of the
Vatican" as he has been called. has been
seen by millions of people of all religious
beliefs during the ceremonies at Rome. 1t
will be difficult for the world to adjust
itself to conception of the papacy in the
person of another than Leo XIII. His thin.
ascetic features. his kindly smile. his bril-
liant eyes are impressed indelibly upon the
minds of the throngs of visitors to Rome
during the past quarter of a century.
His successor will be. indeed a man of
great mental stature and broad character
II he attains the dignity and renown of Leo
Kill As statesman, philosopher. as
philanthropist and as Christian the pontin
now dying not only impressed himself
deeply upon modern thought. but scored
for himself a place among the great per-
sonages of history. He reigned during
period of transition. Wonderful advances
have been made by the world of science
and thought and politics since he assembled
the papal throne His adjustment of the
extreme conservatism of the church to the
new conditions. constantly shifting. was in
itself remarkable achievement. less
comprehensive intellect. less logically
progressive ruler would have failed under
the stress of change. He made history.
and he helped to raise the standard of per-
sonal living. Whether Roman Catholics or
Professionals, all Christians can study the
life and utterances of Pope Leo XIII with
profit. His long life has been filled with
usefulness to the world.

Parker and. Hill.

II WA. inevitable that some eager soul IN
the south should sound Judge Parker DUR
ing his visit on the subject OF the presi-
dency This Is the reply the distinguished
man made to the question of his own prob
able candidacy: IT am in love with my
present work and cannot say that would
care to give 1t up for anything"
Mr.. Cleveland himself Is not fencing more
neatly with the inquistive. Martin Van
Buren, one of the "foxiest' Of the pol1ti-
clans of his day. never made a smoother
reply In close place. Judge Parker Is a
diplomat as well as a jurist- But, clever as
this answer was, 1t could not have lessened
the interest of the man to whom it was adj
dressed in Judge Parker's immediate fu-
ture 1t is plain enough that the judge IS
a candidate for his partys presidential
nomination, and that he will lend himself
in any dignifed way to whatever MS
friends may propose in his behalf.
But this southern trip discloses more
than that We may safely conclude that
Judge Parker In his venture has the sup
port and approval of David B. Hill. That
Is to say appearances go to show that Mr..
Hill shares in the general curiosity con-
corning Judge Parker's strength in the po-
litical field, and that If sentiment sets In
the judges direction he will assist In CIV
Ing 1t effective expression in the democratic
national convention. And that service Will
be considerable. There are few better gen.
erals than Mr.. Hill In the conduct of
convention struggle. and as the leader. as
he Is likely to be, of the New York delega-
ton in next years convention he should
exercise a very considerable influence on
that body.
This we may assume is not altruism on
Mr.. Hills part. He likes power. and keeps
a sharp lookout for the interests of num-
Der one. How would he fit as Secretary of
State in President Parker's cabinet? Diplo-
macy. it may be conceded, is not Mr.. Hill
strong suit. The Department of Justice, or
the Interior Department, would afford him,
one Is tempted to think. a better field for
the exercise of his abilities. But the State
Department heads the list of cabinet places.
and Mr.. Hill Is the sort of man who, de-
MED McGregor's seat. would as McGregors
friend like to sit next to McGregor. And
would not Judge Parker in the role of
McGregor be likely to place Mr.. Hill IN the
chair of the latter's choice at the cabinet
table? Nothing would seem to be more
certain. And this Is one of the reasons why
Judge Parkers candidacy is now so inter-

Though it is no holiday.
We have shown our patriotism
Midst much peril and dismay.
Now that quietude is reigning.

There Is not an eyebrow missing:
Every tooth is still in place.

Once more in a fond embrace.

And he hasn't lost an ear.
Proud and grateful. we repeat 1t.
