the Europeans who lived and wrought

century, three men, Leo, Gladstone and

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.

catholic, so genuinely human, that he
found room in his heart for all man
kind, and made a place in his prayers
for those who did not acknowledge his
spiritual headship. No more sanity
man had ever presided as the bishop
of Rome than he whom the world now
mourns.
But it was not merely as great
churchman and a spiritual teacher that
Leo AIII, won the respect of the world.
While exercising no direct temporal au-
thority, he has nevertheless welded a
power in the political world that has
been greater than that of many tenn
poral rulers, and to his credit it may
now be said that peace and progress
were ever Gear to him and received his
support. 1t was the stanch, conserva-
tive republicanism of the head of the
church that made it possible for Arch
bishop John Ireland to be at the same
time Catholic prelate and an intensely
loyal American citizen. 1t is to the
credit of the pope that it has become
possible at this late day to point out
the injustice of the prejudice that was
cherished b. many noncatholics and
which led to the formation of anti
Catholics political societies in this
country.
In his dealings with the nations of
the old world, as we'll as IN more recent
negotiations with the United States in
relation to the interests of the church
in the newly acquired insular posses
sions, Pope. Leo has been just, wise,
and broad minded. His ability as an
administrator of the affairs of the spir.
itual realm which he ruled is shown by
the progress made during his occu-
pancy of the papal throne. When he
succeeded to the papacy he entered
upon term of virtual imprisonment IN
the vatican and he was confronted by
a tangled skein of diplomatic troubles
that gave promise of perpetual humili-
alton and embarrassment. He leaves
to his successor an open field for the
exerci Sc of mis- legitimate functions as
spiritual head of the Catholic world,
the good will of all nations, and pres
.tige won by personal virtue and a
sanity character that will prove to be
of inestimable worth to the new pom
tiff, should he be inspired to wisely
build upon the foundation laid by Pope
Leo.

SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1903.
Whittier Are We Tending?"

On this page of today's paper the
Wisconsin publishes communication
from an experienced business man
who sees signs of danger in the com
mercial and financial horizon. The
pic5 lure which he presents is not over
drawn, and the caution which he gives
is timely.
Undoubtedly the storm in the stock
market is going 10 cause wrecks. 1t
does not follow. however, that general
business will suffer. There was just
such condition in Wall street nine
teen years ago as there is today. Spec
ulative values went DOWNTOWN
down. Weak holders let go. and pru-
dent men with cash considered it a
good time to buy. There was panic,
but it was a stock panic, not a general
panic. When the storm ended the sea
was covered with wrecks Of craft that
had been carrying to much sail. Care
full seamen weathered the gale, and
picked ur from the waves a great deal
of floating property whose owners had
been obliged to throw it overheard to
save their lives. People who bought
St. Paul common in that year at AZ
made fortunes on it by carrying it for
a rise. Many other stocks presented
similar opportunities which were taken
advantage Of. The panic exerted a
SOLDERING effect upon the mass OF men
in business, and instead of involving
everybody in ruin caused the general
ity Of people to conduct their affairs
with such circumspection that general
business continued prosperous for nine
years longer Il was not until 1898
that universal business depression
afflicted the United States.
There is good ground for diagnosing
the present business situation in this
country as more like that of 1884 than
like that of 1873 or 1898. The gale
in Wall street is blowing at terrific
rate Navigators who carry too much
canvas will be sure to suffer. But not
everybody has been recklessly spread
sail, and not everybody is in danger.
With good crops this year, the general
purchasing power of the country will
be adequate to consume literally the
stocks of staple goods which manufact-
ures have prepared. There will be
ample traffic to insure remuneration
business for the railways. Already
the labor situation shows indications
of an improved tone. The settlement
of the strike in the building trades in
New York and of the tanners strike in
Milwaukee furnish encouraging evil
dence of reasonable disposition on
the part of employers and employees.
Prices in the iron trade may sag with
out evil omen, for last years advance
was due to the bidding of consumers
against one another rather than to
increased cost of production, and a
decline which brings prices back to a
healthy level will tend to keep orders
at home which last year went abroad.
After broad survey of present con-
ditions in the commercial and financial
world, the safe word to business men
seems to be, Take care. but don't be
afraid'-The Evening Wisconsin Of
Thursday.

On the Bishop.

The late y, A. Mcneil Whistler op-
posed every sort of cant. He cham
pioned, on the other hand, many pecu-
liar things. He believed, for instance,
in cosmetics, and encouraged women
always in the use of rouge, rice pow
ler, kohl and henna.
He liked, in this connection, to tell
about a rebuff that he once heard a
young girl administer to a bishop. The
bishop, somehow or other, disco vered
the young girl in the act Of curling her
hair with a heated silver rod, and he
said to her:
'My dear young lady, if God had in
tended your hair to be curled he would
curl it himself"
She rejOined:
Gle did curl it when I was little
girl, but now that I am grown up, he
thinks I am able to look after it my
self. boston Post.

WHY Tasted Bitter.

Not long ago a downtown physician
had occasion to prescribe quinine to
patient, an elderly lady who was not
used TO modern ways of administering
medicine. The quinine was ordered in
apsules-twelve, each containing four
grains.
About a week later the doctor was
called to attend the daughter of the
lady, and upon the dresser he noticed
what he supposed were the quinine
capsules he has prescribed. Turning
to the mother he asked why she had
not taken his medicine.
"Sure, doctor do you mean that bit
ter powder? Yes, took it, but had
hard work getting it out of those lit
tie glass things it was put in."
