THE r1AYOR,S VETO.

Mayor Taylor was right in vetoing the
ordinance providing free street car
Transportation FOR members Of the
Council. The ordinance Is clearly IN
conflict with the spirit Of the Const-
tuition, and does by indireotton what It
Is not lawful to do directly
Moreover, it gives Councilman GER.
tain emolument not provided for In the
charter and not contemplated by those
who framed the charter. Councllmen
we'll understood that they were to serve
rratuitously when they accepted the po-
sItion.
we are not disposed to be niggardly
and we think that those members OF the
Council who honestly serve the city
With no other purpose than the discharge
of a civic duty earn much more than w
a year. But we think it q bad prece-
dent, and It may be that Councils to
como will vote themselves other per-
quisites.
1t is proper for Counctlmen to be re-
lmbursed for any expenses they may IN
cur In attending to the public business
but Mayor Taylor has shown that the
actual cost Of street car fare could not
exceed $40 a year to each Councilman
whereas the ordinance provides for $50
It would appear from this, therefore
that Councilmen are to receive $40 for
street car fare and $40 as a gratuty.
We agree with Mayor Taylor that the
ordinance is wrong in principle and dan
gerous In, its tendency, and we say te
Counclmen that the game Is not wortf
the candle. n ~

A WONDERFUL MAN.

Yesterday The Roman Catholic lilo
Church throughout the world solennly
but joyousts celebrated tho completion
OF the twenty-flfth year Of the pantiti'
cate OF Leo XIII,
It Is almost ali Incredible coincidence
that Of the three Popes who alone ~
nearly 1900 years have held that exalted
office for twenty-five years. the hrst
should, according to tradition. have been been
the frat Bishop Of Rome. and the last
two Should come Immediately tosather
NJ the end OF the nineteenth century.
we know that Il Is alleged that the
length OF the biahoprlo OF st, Peter IS
doubtful, and It Il even stated that ne
never was at Rome at oil. but wo arc
not concerned. about this. 1t Is enough
thae the tradition Of the Roman Cntho'
lie Church is that st. Petcr was Bishop
In Rome twenty-five years. and It Is
also historical fact that no other Pope
ever hold that Office from that day to
this who continued in Office as long as
St. Peter is said to have done Until Pope

palcs beside him IN tho great age which
the latter has reached and In the mar
velous power which the Pope has eSer-
cised for conservatism and sound doc
trine on great modern questions.
Not Catholics alone have felt their
admiration for the intellectual achieve
ments OF the Pope. The power OF his
great office has been uniformly exer-
cisod in behalf Of the soundest and SAT-
est principles which relate to property
and government. In this he has given
new emphasis to the conservative power
Of the Catholic Church In times Of tu-
mutt and revolution. It Is certain that
no anarchist or revolutionary socialist
is found In the ranke Of faithful Cath
olcs, though the Pope himself has. IN
respect to the Republicans OF Franco
and the United States, placed himself
a1I,rmauvely on tho side Of popular gov
eminent. His conflict with the Italian
government and his voluntary seclusson
in tho Vatican as a self-restrained
prisoner Is apart from our present oon-

the Catholic Church upon the world
and we have always thought that his
dignity and his boneaclent influence

recognition as q temporal sovereign,
