THEIR RIGHT OF VETO.
Claims of Foreign Powers to Intervene in the ConcIave

Ages. when. surrounded by nations at

arch and then of that one against those
invaders who were bent upon depriving
II of its temporal dominions. It was
a concession not definitely granted but
rather tacitly allowed by the Holy Seat
in return for the defense of it's temper
alities. and was never included in any
treaty for the coDcordat-that is to say.
in those agreements devised for the reg
ulation OF the relations between the
Papacy and foreign Catholic powers.
As the latter have ceased to protect
and safeguard the temporal possessions
of the Papacy. the circumstances which
formerly rendered It possible and polite
TO tolerate this concession no longer ex-
lists, and when some twenty years ago
the Holy Seat appealed to the Catholic
powers of Europe to take some indi-
vidual or concerted action with the OBJ
jet of inducing the Italian crown to
restore to the Papacy its former pos
sessions. and met with a refusal alike at
Paris, at Vienna and at Madrid. none of
the three powers caring to approach
Italy about the matter, 1t was decided
at the Vatican that the three govern
ments concerned had forfeited what
ever rights they might have acquired by
custom and tradition of exercising
veto at conclaves.

repudiated and denounced by the Papacy

Protestant, or Orthodox. in the election
of a Pope. there is no doubt that the
so-called Catholic goverpments-that is
to say. those of Austria. France. and
Spain-still adhere TO their pretensions
in the matter. while the Kingdom OF
Italy. having absorbed that OF Naples,
now puts forward a claim 10 exercise the
prerogative OF exclusion formerly enjoy
ed by the Bourbon sovereigns OF the Two
Sicilies. Lest there should be any doubt
about the matter. I may mention that.

each resolved to influence the forthcom-
ing conclaye, and the Papacy equally de-
termined to prevent any Interference on
their part in the election of the next
Pope. France, of course. is interested in
having a Pope who, If not a foe of Ger
many and of the political aspirations of
her various monarchical pretenders, may
at any rate be relied upon to maintain a
strictly impartial attitude. For IT can
not be denied that the French govern
ment has suffered considerably from the
pronounced German sympathies of an in
huentiai element Of the Curia at Rome,
and likewise from the support given by
he church to the monarchical movement
In France.
In Germany the most powerful party
in the imperial parliament is the So
called Catholic Center, which by cast
ing its vote for or against any measure
submitted TO the reichstag decides its
fate. This Catholic party takes its
orders from the Vatican. and should
these commands be issued by q Pope
opposed to German interests as under
stood by the Kaiser, parliamentary gov
eminent at Berlin would become Just
as difficult as II Is at Vienna.

Kaisers Finger in the Pie.

There is good reason for believing
that Emperor William is imbued with
the same anxiety as the late Prince
Bismarck. to subordinate the selection of
a successor to Leo XIII to the consent
of the great powers. and while be does
not go to the length OF his first chaneel-
Tor in planning an international con-
gress at Berlin for the purpose of rati-
flying the choice of the Sacred College
at Rome, II is we'll known that he is
determined to make his influence felt
in the forthcoming conclave, in such a
way as to exclude from the tiara any
prelate not animated by sentiments Of
good will and OF friendship toward the
German empire
On the occasion of his recent visit
TO Rome he came into personal contact,
and conversed, with many of the most
influential cardinals of the Roman
Marshal Count waldersee. who. far
from being a Roman Catholic, is a Luth-
eran OF the most extreme evangelical
type. spent an entire afternoon at the
German college, in conference with
Father Martin. the general OF the Jes-
uits. divine who, although he has no
voice in the conclave, nevertheless is
Justly credited with welding a power
that is likely TO make itself felt in the
choice of a new Pope.
Moreover. 1t is asserted that Prince
Henry of Prussia's recent visit to Mad
rid was for the purpose of effecting
some understanding with the Spanish
monarch and his advisers in connec-
tion with the conclaYe, report current
in the various diplomatic chancelleries

vices to the effect that Germany will

To what extent will the election of
Leo KITS successor be Influenced by
the powers? That is a question which
is just at present absorbing the atten-
ton, not only OF every government. but
also that OF all people. irrespective of
creed. who are interested in the Papacy
as a most important factor in contem-
porary life.
The late Prince Bismarck, at a mo-
ment when. some fifteen or twenty
years ago. the serious illness OF Leo
XIII caused a conclave to appear Inn
minent, inauSurated series of conf
Dental diplomatic negotiations at vi
emma, Rome, and in other OF the leading
capitals OF the Old World. with the
object of subordinating the election Of
a Pontin to the consent OF the great
powers. That is to say, he proposed
that the choice made by the Sacred
College of a new Pope should not be
proclaimed or go into force until the
approval OF the principal European
governments, OF, at any rate, of ma
jority thereof, had been obtained. His
plan did not meet with success, the
governments of Austria. Of France, and
OF Spain taking the ground that their
adherence TO any such scheme would
weaken the rights which they claim

any cardinal against whose elevation to
the chair of ST. Peter they may for one
reason or another entertain objections.

Clergy Dominant in Austria.

Indeed, there is no empire in all
Europe, save perhaps Spain and Portu-
gal, where the Catholic episcopacy and
clergy take so prominent a part in po-
litical life as IN Austria Hungary. Many
of the troubles at Vienna and Budapest
in recent years have been due to con-
ficts between the ecclesiastical element
and the government, the clergy re-
ceiving its instructions through the Pa
pal nuncio. More than once indeed has
Emperor Francis Joseph been obliged
by his ministers to ask for the recall
Of a nuncio owing to the influence ex-
ercised by the latter at the expense
Of the administration OF the day on the
episcopacy and clergy of the dual en-
pire. which Is therefore supremely in
terested in having at the Vatican a
Pope who is friendly to the House of
Hapsburg.
In Spain it is Leo XIII and Cardinal
Rampolla. who. by their championship
of the cause Of young King Alfonso
from the moment OF his birth, have held
in check the Csrlist clergy and even
episcopacy Of the Peninsula, and should
a prelate be raised to the chair of St.
Peter who is less favorably disposed to
the percent dynasty, and more inclined
to promote the interests Of Don Carlos,
who has undertaken TO restore to the
Church in Spain all its former posses
sions and power. We may soon witness
the outbreak of another CRTlist war
and the overthrow OF King Alfonso.
