Political Importance Of Che Papacy.

Political importance OF the EHPeNy'
The international Importance OF
the Papacy is due in large part to the
further fact that the Roman Cath
Ole Church is established by law IN
a number of European countries.
France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal,
Italy, Austria, and several States OF
the German empire, r Catholics in
law as we'll as in fact. The prelates
of the church have legal recognition
and certain legal rights in all these
countries. The clergy are paid from
the public funds. While it is true
that now other forms of worship are
permitted, the Catholic Church IS
the State church. The political
consequences of this union of any
State with an international church
are far-reaching. In u own re-
public church and State are kept
carefully separate. But in France
it was long before the church def
nitely recognized the third republic,
and the acute crisis at present with
relation to the teaching orders could
hardly exist if the French church
were national. In Austria the prin-
ces of the church, are ex-oficio
members of the upper house of
parliament, and the Pan-German
movement which has already made
signal progress has assumed the form
of secession from the Catholic
Church on a considerable scale in
order to pave the way more readily
to union with Protestant Prussia.
Germany has found the Catholic
party a serious force in imperial
politics, and may or may not be
willing to add more millions of Cath
Olics to the empire in case of the
break up of the Hapsburg domin-
ions. Italy has a peculiar relation
to the Pope, and a reversal of the
policy of Plus TX. and Leo XIII.
by the new Pope would transform
Italian politics. It is plain, then,
hat the election of a cess to
Leo XIII. is by no means a matter
of merely ecclesiastical interest.
The political situation Of Europe
may easily be affected by the choice
made.-Chicago C~hristendom.

no more irreconcilable opponent Of
Leo KILLS liberal policy than Car
dinal Oreglia; his election might
thus signalize a r~eactionary Vatican

again looms largest in the public
eye. Though his strength lies first
of all in his forceful personality,
it's also lies in the obligation to him
which many cardinals must feel. as.
without his approval, they might nev-
er have reached their present station.
The campaign for him is now being
conducted by the French, Spanish,
and Portuguese representatives and
is opposed by those from Germany,
Austria, and Italy. The candidate
of the monastic orders is the
Genoese Cardinal Gotti, a magnif-
cent specimen of the "self-made
man." for he has risen from peasant
ranks. Nevertheless, long the head
of the Carmelites, he must necessari-
ly be first, last, and always a monk.
Hence his candidacy inspires a GER
tain d~istrust, for the election to the
Papacy of a monk might unneces-
sarily complicate the relations of the
Papacy with France, Spain, and the
United States, in view Of the pres
ent difficulties with the monastic or
ders in the first two countries and
in the Philippines. During the past
week evidences have accumulated to
show that the choice of the Triple
Alliance is Cardinal Serafno Van
nutelli. His creditable record, both
as man and as diplomat, indicates to
the three Powers how much they
might gain by the ascendancy of
one who understands them so we'll.
Finally, three candidates stand out
more than ever as eminently and ma
tionally italian in their divorce from
"the prisoner of the Vatican" attl-
tude-Cardinals Sarto, CapOcelatro,
and Agliardi, men of democratic
sympathies, liberal tendencies, and
marked capacity for administrative
work. All Protestants hope that
such qualities will distinguish the
next Pope-whether he be one OF
these prominent papabili or some OBJ
scure compromise candidate.-NeW
York Outlook.

The Value Of Bulbs,

Commenting on an appropriation of
$4,000 made the other day by the Lon
don county council for the purchase of
flower bulbs for the parks, the London
Chronicl> says: 1T is impossible to
say how many hundreds Of thousands
of daffodils, tulips, snowdrops, crocus,
iris and hyacinths the county council
will get for the money, but one may
estim .te how few single specimens
might be bought for that sum. Thus,
If the parks committee put all the
money in the large new white trumpet
daffodil Peter Barr offered for the
first time last spring, they would get
only nine bulbs; while If their patri-
otto instinct decided them to invest in
Lord Roberts (yellow trumpet) at IL
guineas head, they would be lucky
