GIBBONS, MISSION.

Cardinal Gibbons has been received
with great ceremony and marked con-
sideration at Rome This tribute IS
in part due to the great American con-
stituency which ne represents. and in
part to his eminent qualities of heart
and mind. II is said that Cardinal Glib
bons is at the head of a church party
which desires a more equal distribu-
tion of church honors. doubtless having
in mind the fact that America with its
vast number Of communicates has but
one Cardinal, while Italy alone holds
a majority in the Sacred College.
The Cardinal, If this is his position.
has ample grounds for his contention.
The claims OF Rome as an universal
church viii not have full weight as long
as her government is almost entirely
IN the hands of the Italian priesthood.
In many respects the government Of the
church is a democracy like that Of the
United states, yet she is giving cause
for the old American complaint OF
government without adequate represen.
tation. Unless the present policy is
modified the discomfort is likely TO
grow. II the purpose indicated is tho
special mission OF Cardinal Gibbons It

but Il may in time appeal to the sense

party leaders, mapping out the policy

incidentally strengthening his forces
preparatory to the next Democratic
National Convention. There will be
only pleased interest on the part OF Re-
publicans as they watch the develop
ment OF this boom through the next
few months. Should German be made
the standard-bearer Of the Democratic
party It would mark forlorn hope and
indicate that the organization had de-
termined to rely upon machine politics
for success.
German is to Democracy pretty mucl
the same that Quay is to the Republi-
can party. He has never taken higl
rank as a statesman. but has exemph

THE MAN LEFT BEHIND.

There is general impression that
the man who remains in the city during
the heated term while his family is at
the shore having a good time. is some
thing Of a martyr, an impression which
he does not attempt to dlssipate The
wife sitting on the veranda slapping
at an occasional mosquito is wont to
remark for the benefit OF the other ex-
lies. Poor man: he is working away
In that awful heat. attending TO busi-
ness, while we are having good time"
The role OF martyr suits him well and
he plays it from one summer TO an
other
Sometime since we heard one Of these
martyrs relating his experiences, and
we are led TO believe that It is really
possible to fool part Of the people
an the time" He reviewed his course
OF conduct during the hot months last
year while his family was at the shore.
In the first place, he said there wasn't
much business TO attend TO, since the
hot season is always the slack season.
Consequently he used to sleep late IN
the cool Of the morning. reaching his
Office between . and 10. II wasn't SO
warm either, since there was an cleo
trio fan going. In the afternoon he
would pick up friend and they would
take a refreshing trolley ride out in the
country to one Of the parks, and ther
lie under the trees for an hour or two
and then have n really good supper In
the woods. Then they would sii
around and smoke for time, playing
a few games of pool perhaps, riding
home in the cool night air.
At home there was the ice chest anC
always something cooling to drink
There We're no mosquitoes, and he
could sit in the porch putting his pipe
till midnight with his feet on the rail
in pleasant meditation. lie had goo,
bed to sleep in-no flies. nothing e
bother him. and the dozen things h
needed for his toilet were always a
hand. Before dressing he took a plung

From the New York Press.
J. Pierpont Morgan is old fashioned
IN at least one respect. He is as chiv-
alrous as a knight banneret after the
crusades and believes that women
should not be required to go out into
the world TO work for a living. No wo-
man has ever broken into the Morgan
office. Everything at the corner OF
Wall and Broad is Of the male persua-
sion. and is likely to remain so until
the father of trusts retires. Several
bright girls, expert with the typewrit-
ing machine, able stenographers and of
splendid business ability, have pulled
all kinds of wires to get places In -.
P.'s' office, but their efforts have
proven vain. Mr.. Morgan never uses
a 9rofane word i'm the presence Of a
woman. and inasmuch as there Is a lit.
tie "cussing' sometimes done in his
Office females are hopelessly barred.

In certain Pennsylvania towns they

with a vengeance. At Williamsburg n
crusade has been made recently by the
church people against the druggists

Now the druggists have retaliated by

we see no reason why It may not ex-
tend to ministers. since they are preach

The Home Builders.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
The eleventh annual convention Of
the United States League OF Building
and Loan Associations in Boston de-
serves 20 be regarded not only as rep-
resentative Of a fourishing industry,
but OF a beneficent missionary enter
prise What body Of men or what or
ganization has ever done more for the
State Of Pennsylvania. or for the
United states, than the men who gave
the impetus TO the building and loan
movement? Il would be dificult
question 70 answer. To praise the build
ing and loan idea is simply to commend
thrift, to praise home building and the
foundation virtues on which the family
rests.
Philadelphia originated the building
and loan movement. and Pennsylvania
is still in the lead, though Ohio is con-
testing for supremacy. as the figures
for the two States show-PennsYlvan
1l7S associations, with a membership
of 29l,7 and assets of S113.SS6,O2O;
Ohio, 737 associations. with a member
ship of 296.O74 and assets OF S11O.95I.-
257. The total assets OF associations
in the United States are S577.2SS,O14
and though the annual receipts for last
year were S412.25S,9i2. the sum paid fol
expenses was less than $4,000, 900. Thi,
is the kind of exhibit which explains
in part. the desirability of building anS
loan shares as an investment. No large
force OF high -salaried officers eat III
the profits. the funds are invested n
real estate, and are widely distribute,
in small amounts. The advantage o
this means OF saving has been discov
cred by thrifty women. at least in Penn
sylvania, where the surprisingly larg
number Of 1888 are shareholders.
