TEMPORAL POWER OF THE POPE.

1t is impossible to point out an anal
ogy for the spectacle that the world
has been beholding in Rome during the
past couple Of weeks. In the tenacity
and endurance OF the venerable Pom
tilt, during the long and exhaustive
and most exciting series Of functions,
there is something almost superhuman.
TO lind Il fragile old man, bowed with
great age, and no more muscular than
an infant, sustaining all the fatigue Of
| these prolonged ceremOnials, receiving
pilgrims day after day, and replying to
addresses without number, answering
! kilograms from all parts OF the world,
and discliarging the multifarious duties
pertaining to his high office, with little
evidence OF physical strain, is fact
uneXampled in modern experience.
Several reports OF Il serious result We're
spread abroad by alarmists, but the

sulting from the almost continuous de-
nland upon the vocal organs. Much
has been written about blind old Dam
dolo' leading his crusaders at eighty,
but his achievement was only one incl
dent, and there is a vast difference be-
tween eighty and ninety-three-as
much, perhaps, conversely, as, at the
other pole of life, between thirteen and
thirty three, so far as the physical pow
ers are concerned. Leo bears up brave
ly, sustained by his high courage as
we'll as by providential strength, says
the Catholic Standard and Times.
Assurances of loyalty to the Pope's
temporal claims continue to pour in
OH the Holy Father. One Of the most
significant of these came this week
from the English Catholic body, repre-
scented by the Duke of Norfolk. No
doubt it seems anomalous that noble
man whose official position recently in
volvcd his participation in ceremony
wherein reputation Of the Pope and
the Catholic faith formed very con-
spicuous feature, should be found sup
porting the Popes claims to temporal
sovereignty, but it must be recollected
that this in no degree touches Eng
lands particular claims to sovereignty
within her own borders.
In the address read by the Duke the
Catholics of England thus declared
themselves:
I'VE cannot forget the noble series
of encyclicals in which you have reg
ulated the affairs of the Church with
the kingdoms of the world, while
strenuously asserting the Independence
of the Holy See, which Catholics
throughout the world will never cease
to claim"
Now, 1.-The independence Of the Holy
See" can be interpreted in no true way
save the exercise of temporal sover-
cignty-at least i'll the city which is
the seat of the Primatial BishOpric.
The Pope is no sense independent
while he is shut up within the four
walls of the Vatican. He has never
ceased to assert his indefeasible right
to the patrimony of Peter-a right far
better grounded than that of the Duke
of Norfolk's sovereign to the crown Of
Britain. lie has Il right to the loyal
support Of Catholics everywhere, in
maintaining his claim in season and
out OF season, ana there can be little
doubt that it will in the long run be
found best for the worlds interests
that his claim be recognized and coll
coded,

Says the Catholic Columbian: The
Wisconsin State Supreme Court has
censured General Edward S. Bragg

New York., 1--WE love him for the
enemies he has made" He is the

WIGS AND LIVERIES.

An American woman recently created CONSERVATION
in London by putting all her ootnen into wigs. The
naughty hunkeys enjoyed their gorgeousness just
week and then the wigs removed. For during that
week London that portion of it which counts socially
refraned from leaving cards the home that guard
ed by the bewigged funkeys. The lady in question: it
seemed had been guilty of of great presumption
She had arogaed to herself privilege that is accorded
to peers and princes only. Indeed, she had offended
more deeply than that The wigs which she purchased
Tor her foomen arranged that five fat curs
ed on either side of each unkeys brow The effect
beautiful but did not appeal to London For if plain
wigs represent peerage prncedom there wigs
arranged in quintuple festoons evidence royalty itself
10 the humble American living in his own country
and glad of the privilege, the oense of the expariated
American woman seems not very great. And the ma
Jor1ty OF these humble Americans will wish that the lady
had not struck her colors readily in other words
had not removed the wigs. For the average Yankee
loves to hear the eagle and there was an
tun1ty to make him loudly and in deah old
Lunnon, too. Moreover if he is neither peer nor
prince the rueborn American likes to feel that he's as
good, II not better than either, and he will fail to see
any good and sufficient reason why in this the lady
should have stood in any fear of John Bull
Wigs and lveres and gold lace and all the other
hxns very little to the great mass of the Amer
lean people For they like think that the plain clothes
their toreathers woreand something of figure in
too, when duty took them to cours-are good enough
Tor them But this American woman had her heart SET
on seeing her servants in wigs the always gallant Amer
lean man would be glad to her little vanity erati6ed
AT any rate he will doubtless wish that she had p I'm
something of a fight and had given those Londoners
some idea OF the stuff of which Americans are made

THE POPE AND THE PUBLIC.

While all the world is watching with respectful ad-
iraon the anful and successful struggle OF Leo All
with the Angel of Death is worth while considering the
enormous Importance attached by the newspapers 10

From the newspaper point of view no event mas oc-
Cured in many years that has demanded and received SO
much consideration Great events in this country not
ABLY the assassination and death of the lamented Mckn
lev occupied for some days the almost exclusive atte
ton of the press of this country The battles OF Santiago
and Manila bay were, from the news point OF view, OF
surprising importance in the United States But these
affairs WERE comparatively of great Importance to the
United States alone OF the foreign press gave
much space them but the interest attaching was vital
in this country
The illness of Leo has been regarded BY The press OF
the world every country where there is printing OF
fee as the important of contemporary events II
has excluded many things of local and normal 1mpor-
lance The boldest types. the most expensive ana at
tractive illustrations the talent of writer's and the GENTS
of mechanics have all been devoted to the one eno OF
giving the world every possible phase OF the pope
life and present condition Diplomats, specialists IN re-
lpon politics and medicine have been pressed into serv
ice lumine the press and public on the lie OF Leo,
the phases of his illness and the possible consequences OF
his death on the church and the world In the United
States thousands columns of space have been given to
the production of pictures and this at expense
the extent of which the public has little coneePtor
Tremendously expensive cablegrams have been or
dered by the great papers and associations without
regard to In every Associated Press office in the
country men have been kept on watch day and night
awaiting the event of Leos illness In every daily news
paper office of metropolitan preensions have been
kept on watch constantly. Printers have stood by

important individual in the world. 4. a4a
