guided the selection of pope, nor will
the successor of Leo be chosen by any
boost of Standard Oil, the Chicago

Europe into a cooked hat. Our kind
Protestant friends of the press, who
have written so much that gratifes
Catholics relating to the dying pope
and the American cardinal, need have
no fear that any of the things named
will be considered in the conclave.
American Catholics are not in the
least optimistic about the elevation
OF Cardinal Gibbons to the papacy.
They recognize the fact that there is
good deal of human nature in the
church as well as in the world out
side. The Italians in the college of
cardinals lead by a great majority.
and blood is thicker than water. These
Italian churchmen are welded to the
traditions and customs of the yatiean
handed down from the centuries. Most
OF them are averSe to innovations, and
they certainly have reason to fear
that an American would make some
changes not in harmony with church
aristocracy. In their minds eye they
perhaps see Cardinal Gibbons, as pope,
out the Swiss guards, cross
ing the bridge over the Tiber on foot,
a Prince Albert coat and
Stovepipe hat, and buying a paper
from a newsboy, just as he does in
Baltimore. Perhaps he might effect an
understanding with King
aumbert, who, after all, is not a bad
sort of fellow. No, no, no! an Am
srican must not be considered.
While we do not say that any of
hese apparitions will initiate against
he selection of an American cardinal
or the papacy, they certainly are
more likely and weighty than the 1
rade conditions presented by the Den i
er News and Salt Lake Herald. {

AN OYSTER BAY BLUNDER.

TO make the story clear, let us be
gin by saying that there is no love
lost between Russian and a Jew
never has been nor never will be. The
scattered tribes of Israel have been
hunted down and prosecuted by every
form of tyrannical enactment in near
ly every country of Europe, but more
especially in Russia. Not long ago at
K1shineff, city in one of the prov-
inces of the car, Russian bow was
killed by Jew. There may have been
provocation for the crime. but that
does not count-the hated Jew had
taken the life of Russian boy. That
act fired the heart of the ayengine
Cossascks. The life of the Jew who
committed the homicide did not Stake
their thirst for blood. They formed
a mob and commenced an onslaught
on every Jew they ran across in Kisb-
lneff, and the night fell upon a day of
terrible slaughter The world was bor.
rlned. 1t was crime equal to the
Murder of the Innocents -

russians burned any Jews at the

mpted right of Americans.

DEATH OF MRS. JAMES G. BLAINE

Mrs. James G. Blaine, widow of the
greatest statesman that ever adorned
Republican administration, died at
the Blaine homestead at Augusta, Me-,
on Wednesday of this week. Mrs.
Blaine was rs years of age.
Mrs. Blaine's maiden name was Har-
r1et Stanwood. She was the daughter
OF leading citizen of the state of
Maine. She met her husband while
both of them were teachers in a
school in Kentucky. They were mar
ried at Pittsburg and later came to
Augusta, where Mr.. Blaine became ed
itor of the Kennebec Journal.
The Blaine family is well represent
ed in this state and Montana. Mrs.
Margaret Blaine Salisbury, wife of o.
J, Salisbury, of Salt Lake, is a neice
of the lamented Plumed Knight. Mrs.
Salisbury best sustains the Catholic
branch of the historical name, and her
presence in our midst adds honor to
our city and state.
The death of Mrs. Blaine uncovers
recollections of her deceased husband:
regrets and signs over the tricks of
that cheated him out of
the position occupied since by men of
inferior ability to that of Blaine. The
Blaine family can rightfully hold their
heads higher than the creatures of
accident. Three of Americas greatest ;
statesmen never reached the goal of {
heir ambition. These three were I

ames Gillespie Blaine.

Some days ago the man in the
weather bureau predicted that a hot
wave would start rolling from Arizona
and proceed north. Pretty safe guess
for almost anybody to make during
midsummer. The hot wave is here.
We do not see it, but we feel it, all
the same. But why lay the blame on
Arizona alone? Why not include New
Mexico?. Both territories were denied
statehood and have a perfect right to
get hot about it and start their hot
waves rolling as the surest means of
reprisal.

From Crawford, N. J., comes a little
story about Christian Scientist, DO
liceman and dog. While patrolling
his beat, the policeman was bitten by
a dog belonging to the Christian scien.
fist. The old notion that it is a safe
plan to shoot dog that bites you, to
prevent hydrophobia, got into the DO
hceman's head,,s with his hand over
the sore spot in his leg, he politely
asked Mrs. Bailey, the Scientist, to
trot out the dog. To which request
Mrs. Bailey made reply: There is no
such thing as pain. 1t does not hurt
you; the dog did not hurt you; it is
all right; all you have to do is not to
think it hurts" A dead dog is in evil
denee against the poiiceman's lack OF
faith, and he really believes that the
bullet must have hurt the dog.

CHANGING ADDRESSES

Editor Intermountain Catholic:
My Dear Sir-Replying to your ia.
vor asking my approval of The Inter.
mountain Catholic since its establish
ment in this diocese, 1 will state that
[ consider the founding of a Catholic
paper in Salt Lake not the least of the
many blessings bestowed by Provi-
dence on the Church here during the
past two years. Its birth occurred at
an opportune time. It's zeal in propa-
eating Catholic truth has had, since
Its inception, my hearty though silent
approval I believe with Our HOLY
Father that "a good Catholic journai
Ia a perpetual mission in a parish"
and that it will serve as a question
box, at all times, for anxious inuuir-
ers. In my visitations l shall hope to
dnd The Intermountain Catholic in
the homes of every Catholic family.
Its mission is to espouse truth, Justice
and morality, and all devoted priests
will find in it an able co-operator in
their missionary work. 1t is my wish
shat all my priests and the laity en-.
trusted to my charge should encour-
age your noble effort and that Of the
generous founder of The Intermoun-
tain Catholic. Yours sincerely,
