WHAT THE POPE SPENDS.
Model Admin IstrntOr of
Large Funds.

AS pope, Leo's expenditures are
vast-without counting what he
spends on Catholic missions, on the in
ferior clergy, on churches and on ed
ucation, and upon the support OF the
5000 people who populate the vatican,
he maintains within the palace walls,
the first factory OF mosaics in the
world, while for works Of art, says an
article in Leslie's Monthly, he prob
ably spends more than any other gov
ernment-and though 1T is true the
vatican receives subscriptions Of mon
ey from all parts OF the world, of
which it does not distribute the half,
and that its treasures are continually
increasing, still II must be remem-
bered that after ten centuries Leo
XIII. is the first pope who ascended the
throne without temporal power. The
budget Of the vatican at Christmas il
100000 francs, which are all the Of
ferings OF the faithful, but 1t may be
imagined that an exceptional admin
istration Is needed to obtain this sum

DYE THEIR OWN PRODUCT.
sHed By Recent Experiment.
In France.

Tho following report is made by
United States Consul Atwell at Rou-
baix: Messrs. Conte and Levrat have
recently been making experiments
With silkworms, which have resulted,
It Is said. in the production of CO.
coons of varied shades, reports the
Philadelphia Record.
The ordinary cocoon Is white, yell
low, or sometimes green. The ques-
ton to be solved is why different
colors should be produced by similar
species. and whether it is the direct
result Of the food taken by the worm.
II this coloring matter comes from
the leaves fed to the worms, Messrs.
Conte and Leyrat considered that it
should be easy to color their food
artificially and thus secure different
shades of cocoons, though several
naturalists have attempted to prove
the impossibility of coloring matter
passing from the intestines Of the
worm into the silk-producing glands.
The worms which served for their
experiments were placed on branches
Of privet. washed over with red.
They ate the leaves without prejudice,
and when the larvae began to spin
the cocoon the silk was bright red.
When fed ON leaves colored blue, the
silk worms produced slightly blush
silk. The species that produces or
dinarily yellow cocoon, when fed
upon leaves colored red, brings forth
a deep orange. The original yellow,
It is said, is due to the pigment in
the leaves Of the mulberry.

geographically a maritime country,
and no other country is so largely
dependent ON others for the raw ma
terials which enter into the making

A champion of the red-headed girl

truth Of these five propositions:

The Peonage Pardons.

The letter of Judge Jones of Alabama
supporting an application to the President
for pardon of two white men convicted Of
the peonage practice in that state makes
excellent and welcome reading. 1t shows
the power Of public opinion for good when
properly aroused. and 1t gives promise of
permanent reform in a matter of vital in
terest to the whole south. Peonage Is a
form Of human slavery. and to revive slav-
cry in any form in this country after the
terrible experience of our civil war Is a
crime Of the first magnitude. The Presi-
dent has probably acted wisely in following

Chairman Jones.

dispatch from Chicago mentions the re-
vival of the story there that Chairman
Jones of the democratic national committee
will shortly resign. and then says:
"As the new national committee will not
be created TIL the meeting OF the DEMO-
cratic national convention next year there
could be no necessity of electing chair
man this year unless Mr.. Jones should re-
sign Mr.. Taggart has been mentioned as
a possible successor to Mr.. Jones. and when
he was here Mr. Taggart said he would not
decline the place II 1t were offered to him.
Some OF the local democrats do not be-
Heve there will be any change until after
the national convention They say that the
Bryan men now control the committee, and
that 1t Is not likely they would wish to dis
place Mr.. Jones, who Is an adherent of
Bryan with the chance OF allowing a re-
organizer to be elected. and thus give the
cleveland faction so much of an advantage
In arranging for the next national conven-
ton"
When this story first appeared 1t was sup
ported by some details that secured credit
for It At that time an isthmian canal
treaty seemed on the eve of ratification. and
Mr.. Jones was prominently mentioned for
one OF the commissionerships. He was
s-rongly Endorsed for the place. and his ap-
ointment, II was seen, would require his
tirement from active politics. And so
I re followed speculation about who would

ceived setback and those commissioner
ships seem to be somewhat in the future.
Mr. Jones is still strongly Endorsed for recog-
milton, and his appointment is predicted
by several men of influence, but until his
commission Is made out 1t will not OF
course be necessary for him to make any
changes in his present political engage
ments.
Mr.. Jones served his party in the cam
paigns of 1893 and 1900 with fidelity, but
without success. Failure usually provokes
the jeers of the thoughtless and the insin-
cere, and the Arkansas senator became the
target for numberless cheap jokes and some
genuine and legitimate fun. But 1t has
never been made apparent that anybody
else could have done better in his place.
More votes were simply not to be had for
such a candidate and such a platform. AS
1t was. he put up good fight; and the
large and assorted stock Of confidence
he carried. and displayed whenever chal-
lenged. was simply in obedience to the rules
of the game. A chairman without conf
dence-for the public-is unequipped for his
business
Mr.. Jones is still quoted as a Bryanite.
But 1t does not seem likely that all of the
reorganizers are equally Objectionable to
him. Mr.. German. for instance, Is one Of
his warmest friends; and If the Maryland
senator shall receive his party's nominal
ton next year, Mr. Jones' good will will
probably go out to him as literally as 1t
did to Mr.. Bryan in both of the latters two

The Sixth Alabama District.

Let us hope the report is true that Cap
tain Hobson has at last made up his mind
about running for Congress. We are all
little tired of the subject. Ever since the
gallant young man resigned from the navy
his future has been under discussion.
Would he address himself to literary pur-
suits. or to craftsmanship? Would series
of historical novels flow from his pen, or a
larger navy issue from his mouth in the
House of Representatives? He was repre-
scented as weighing the two propositions
very carefully. If the decision is for states
manship. then We can all take a rest.
Upon his return from Cuba Captain Hob
son became the central figure of some very
foolish demonstrations. He was hardly to
blame for yielding to the Establishments of
the more excited of his admirers. lie was
young. full of fire, and had performed a
feat of very fine quality. People as a. rule
were full of ginger. They wanted to see
the men who had achieved distinction in
the ninety-day scrap with Spain. But in
the case of the hero of the Merrimac curioS-
ity and admiration were pushed to an ex
treme. An older and more experienced
head might easily have been turned. The
young and inexperienced head was turned.
and there were speeches and receptions that
made the judicious grieve. Then followed
protracted and somewhat unseemly
controversy about retirement from the
navy on account Of poor health, and then
Captain Hobsons resignation.
The present representative in Congress
from the district which Captain Hobson
calls home is Mr.. Bankhead. a veteran leg1s-
lator. who has entered upon his ninth con-
secutive term in the House. He has risen
to prominence there. and been more than
once spoken Of for his party's leadership In
that body. The length of his service would
indicate that he has served his people salts
factorily. A man Of solid rather than of
snowy parts. he has exhibited good deal
of aptitude for legislative work But can
he stand up against a younger rival who
has the record of a dashing hero to draw
upon? Does enough OF the fire generated
by the war with Spain still burn in the
sixth Alabama district to light Captain
Hobson to victory? The southern people
have always been fond of heroes, and men
OF dash. with either sword. tongue or
pen. have won many political honors in
that section.

The Race Issue in Maryland.

Surely Mr. German must have been mis-
quoted In the recent interview which made
him declare against giving to the race
question great prominence at this time.
Otherwise 1t Is impossible to understand
the plank in the platform OF the Maryland
democrats which deals with that subject.
Yesterdays convention in Baltimore was
absolutely under Mr.. Germans control
Both ticket and platform were fashioned to
suit him, and If the democrats win in No
vember the victory will be utilized to for
ward Mr.. Germans boom for the presl-
dency. And yesterdays deliverance or
greatest note is that which deals with the
race question, and not only gives 1t proml-
hence in this state campaign, but In effect
supports the demand of Senator Carmack
and Major Vardaman that the question en-
ter into consideration for next years ma
tional campaign.
This delverance is guarded, and therein
is revealed it's paternity. Mr.. German is an
adroit man, who employs no extra words
and rarely emphasizes his meaning. He
proceeds smoothly and cautiously, but al
ways with definite object in view. He
has such an object In view now. He tells
the negroes of Maryland that he means
them no injustice. So does Major Varda
And yet. with the power. Major Vardaman
would close the school-house door in the
face of every negro child in the state. And.
with the power, Mr.. German would close
the polls to every negro IN Maryland. The
English of yesterdays deliverance Is to
ally the democracy of Maryland with the
democracy of all the lower southern states
on the race question.
And yet why? The negro is not now, and
has never been, n menace to good govern
ment in Maryland The white man has
always shaped government there; and 1t
has never been better shaped than when he
was assisted to office by the negro vote.
Lloyd Lowndes gave the state as good an
administration of It's affairs as it has ever
known. Recently, in national affairs, the
negro vote, led by white republicans and
the cream of the democracy acting jointly,
helped to put the state in the column sup
porting sound money and protection. If the
in yesterdays convention had been able to
control the situation, Maryland. both in
1895 and In 1900. would have voted for Mr..
Bryan and all of his policies.
Why. then, shake this spook of negro
domination i'll the faces of the people Of
Maryland. unless by doing so Mr.. German
has hopes of recommending himself even
more strongly to the democrats of the
lower south. who just now appear to be
favorably affected toward his presidential
aspirations?
