THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
' The Democratic State Convention fin
ished Its work Wednesday and Oils Is
the result:
Governor Chaujjcey F. Black, of
York,
Lieutenant Governor R. UnucK
Hickktts, of Luzerne.
Congress Maxwell Stevexsiin, of
Philadelphia.
Secretary of Internal Affairs J.Sijip-kon-
AruicA, of Huntingdon.
Auditor General William J. UiiK-V-JfAX,
of Allephony.
When the delegates woke up to a late
breakfast the undoubted drift was to
ward Illack. The Wallace managers
could not have failed to notlco this, for
they again summoned Wallace bv urgent
telegrams. This time he responded. A
special train took him from Clearfield to
Tyrone, where ho boarded a regular
train and arrived In town at about noon.
He entered the Ilolton House unnoticed
hut was Immediately recognized. A
shout vent up: "There Is Wallace. He
is our man.'" The Clearfield statesman
waved his hand. "No, gentlemen," he
said, "It's notthoman; It's the Demo
cracy." He Immediately went to head
quarters, on the door above, and almost
Instnnllv was surrounded by friends,
who kept him shaking hands for an
hour. The convention which had met
Id the morning had taken a recess to
wait on the committees, and everybody
e.nt to sec him. For a time the other
headquarters were deserted. "There is
no bitterness, no feeling In this matter,"
he told everybody; "wo want harmony
and the strongest candidate."
Then Inquiries began to be made for
Jllack, and the. answer Invariably given
as: "He will notcome." Wallace has
made a blunder. It is a confession of
weakness. The Mack contingent was,
quick to catch the sentiment, and the
itreets were ooon ringing with It. Ran
dall sat In his parlors in the Jones
House apparently not at all concerned,
fittt, nevertheless, there was some un
easiness aniODg Black's Immediate,
friends. They realized that delay might
prove wcakenlng.for Wallace's personal
magnetism Is great, and their obvious
policy was to push a ballot at the very
varllcst opportunity.
The contest over the platform, con
trary to CNpectatlon.wasqulckly settled.
This was becauso IiamlaU's friends had
everything their own way.and they were
ready to report when the convention got
together In thnafternoon. All attempts
at delay were quickly settled and the
Illack men hurried on the vote. Wm.
L. h'cott got In from Erlo Wednesday
morning. .lust what he was going to
do no one seemed to know, bin he was
mill for MeCormick, anil had Ms Con
gressional delegation pretty well In
hand. Afterwards they helped to swell
the Illack majority.
The result shows how closely the
Black people had figured on their can
didate, 'lnesday night thev counted
upon 18(1 rotes on the first ballot. They
lacked 10 or 11 of that number when the
roll had been called, but had enough
wnmlcrjrs to complimentary candidates
within reach to bring the total vole up
to 1113 before the announcement was
made. The Wallace strength was 12!).
His poople took their defeat gracefully.
Thero was no factional bitterness dis
played Wednesday night and everybody
is promising to support tho ticket. Wal
lace gues home to Clearfield conscious
thai, he has lieen just a little too late at
every step he has taken. Itatnlall goes
to Chicago In a very happy frame of
mind apparently.
A BICK JOKE.
The Washington dispatches disclose a
rich joke on the Senate. It has been
the fashion of the Senate committees to
attempt to discredit the sincerity and
pood f.iltb of the President in his re
moval or suspension of Itepubllcan of-
llcials. 'lhey have studiously tried to
make it appear that the President had
made removals for party.purpnses only,
and in disregard of his avowed purposes
and pledges. In order to girt; the sus
pended oftlciils a "pend oil" with a fine
certificate of character and diploma of
martyrdom, the committees have In
numerous cases made reports, and
spread them upon the journal of the
Senate, reciting In substance that the
suspended official was a faithful one
and whs suspended for political reasons,
and for no cause rellcctlng on his char
acter or conduct, personal or olllcial.
A case has come to light which has
very much shaken the value of these in
dorsements. Away back in the eaily
part of Mr. Cleveland's administration
he had appointed one Alonzo P. Sharp
Postmaster at McCook, Neb. Sharp
was appointed as a Democrat. Hut he
followed the bad precedents of too many
Hepubllcan olliclals, anil was soon short
In his accounts. Thereupon Mr. Cleve
Und promptly suspended him, and nom
inated one Thompson to succeed him.
Tho papers wcro sent to the Senate,
showing that Sharp was short In his ac
counts, and was no longer fit for public
trust la a public office.
With these facts and undisputed proof
of their tiuth before them, tho Senate
committee gravely report to the Senate
tho following, which will be found In
the Congrenxional IUcord of June 3,
pae R3S7:
On the lltti itay of February, ISmi, the Pres
ident nominated to 'the Senate I'. A. TIkmiii-
son to ho postmaster at McCook, Net)., Wee
A. P. Sharp, suspended during the recess ot
tint Senate. The suspension ncemi to have
rn-cn nude fur political reasons o.ily, and the
commute e has not found anything lu the case
rellectlng upon the personal or official char
ctcr or conduct of the suspended officer.
Our esteemed cotemporary the Xew
York Star, commenting on this action
of Senators, pithily remarks: So Mr
Sharp, who was kicked out for a Demo
cratic thief, finds himself Immortalized
lu the Senate record as a Itepubllcan
martyr. No sooner had ho been proved
a rascal who ought to be turned out than
the Itepubllcan Senators claimed him as
thtdr own and clapped on his brow the
martyr's crown. Although a proved de
faulter, repudiated by his sureties, the
Hepubllcan Senators found nothing lu
his case "reflecting upon his personal or
olllcial character or conduct."
Several Inferences are Irresistibly sug
gested by this Incident:
Hind Tint a Senate certificate plas.
t'-R.t u,ju ttv- front cf a k! k- 'tut
ofllclal Is a very poor label of character.
Secondly That when a Democrat In
olllce tnris out to be n rogue, lie there
by is proved to bo a spotless Hepubllcan,
and, as such, the Senate takes him un
der the regis of Its protection.
Thirdly That the Hepubllcan Sena
tors consider that when, an officer ap-1
plies to his own use the government t
moneys and becomes tho terror of his 1
own sureties, there Is nothing In such a
state of facts which reflects "upon his
personal or olllcial character.''
As the Senate record must be taken
for absolute verity, thero Is no escape
from these conclusions.
DOES IT COME TOO LATE!
The several gentlemen who addressed
the late Democratic county meeting, at
Mauch Chunk, begged of the Democrat
ic voters of this county to stand as a
unit on election day, because In union
there Is strength, and then no fear need
be apprehended as to the result of what
will become of the county ticket when
tho polls close and the. votes are count
ed. The advlcn is nood, it should have
been given and observed loug ago. How
often have tho members of the lower
end Democracy gone to the polls on
election day, deposited a "straight"
Democratic ticket and workod for the.
success of the party? Kvery election has
seen them prove truo to the cardinal
principles of Democracy the lower end
boroughs and townships could always
be counted on to return their usual ma
jorities, sometimes greatly Increased,
thereby showing much hard work and
loyalty to their patty. Not so with the
upper end, however, Its voters have
proved recreant to the Democracy on
mora than one occasion sacrificing
mom than one. Intelligent and worthy
Democrat, for personal reasons. Is It
any wonder then that the votetsofthe
lower end should bo discouraged? Thev
have seen pledge after pledge broken,
one good man after another defeated,
until they have grown tired of working
for a useless cause. It is not uecessary
to ask tho lower end Democracy to
stand as a"unlt;"when have they failed
to show that they .were not a unit? All
they ask, demand, In fact, Is recognition
of their claims; a ticket fairly nominat
ed, and composed of such material as
will be an honor to ofllcially represent
the county. With a ticket of this kind,
both the upper ond and the lower end
working together, the Democratic ma
jority would reach Its bid standard tide
water mark of six to seven hundred
It Is In the power of tho voters
of tho upper end to bring about an ami
cable adjustment ot past grievances.
Will they do It?
MEXICO'S RESOURCES.
Tho Remtbllc of Mexico, wh Ich some
Americans are now anxious to Invade,
is made up of twenty-seven States and
one Territory, with a population of about
11,000,000, one-half being Indians and
tho other half mainly the descendants
of Spaniards. There are eight cities
having more than 30,000 Inhabitants,
tho largest being tho City of Mexico,
with a population of fSOO.OOO. During
tlio last few years Immigration has In
creased perceptibly, the new arrivals
coining principally from Spam and Italy.
Although Mexican finances aru in an
unsatisfactory condition the wealth of
the mines Is almost fubulqus. Iletwccn
1820 and 1S80 silver to tho amount of
$!l00,000,000 and gold to the value or
vWCO.OOO.OOO were produced. Outside of
the precious metals tho staple exports
of the country are textile fabrics, coffee,
hides, woods, vanilla, dye-stlilTs, sugar
and molasses, drugs and tobacco. There
aro more than twenty thousand cattle
ranches In the Republic, valued at $500,
000,0) . ODurlng the last five years the
railroad mileage has largely Increased,
and the government owns many thou
sand miles of telegraph. The Mexican
army consists of 2,000 men, and the
navy of six gunboats and two torpedo
boats.
As It It estimated that Mexico could
put an army of MO.OOO men into the Held
without much trouble.it will ho seen that
It would be a bloody and costly job for
the United States to make war upon it.
The Ignorance which exists in Mexico
as to tho great Northern Republic is
well supplemented by tho Ignorance of
the majority of Americans as to Mexico.
i'ho United States could march an army
from Sonora to Yucatan If they wanted
to, but somebody would have to take off
his coat and roll up his sleeves.
IB IT JUST 1
Tun jury's verdict In tha matter of
the I.ansford boiler explosion is a very
peculiaily worded document, and either
tho learned gentlemen composing the
jury felt a timidity regarding placing the
blame on the company for its negligence
in the matter or they are in sympathy
with tho corporative power. If the
boiler "was defective by reason of old
ago and much wear," and tho company
hart been considering the necessity of
procuring a "new and better one,"then
In face of tills evidence the company Is
responsible for the deaths of Its em
ployees and the jury should have placed
the responsibility on their shoulders.
Instead, however, It "beats around the
bush" with the explanation that "had
the engineer been with the engine and
holler all the time, and If the Immediate
cause of the explosion was defective
working of the safety valve. It might,
and probably would have been discov
ered In time to prevent tho disaster."
Tho jury may feel that they have done
their duly; In fact, they may have
brought In a. verdict consistent with
their ideas of tho matter, but even
should tills be the case, their Ideas look
and read peculiarly when put down on
paper, and in no way benefit the faml
lies of the men who lost their lives In
the employ of the company. The jury
should have considered the condition In
which the families of tho dead men are
placed and acted accordingly.

Broadbrim's Bw York Letter.
Special to tho Camion Advocate. I
Occasionally revelations of the most
revolting cruelty come to light in New
York ami Ilrooklyn which make ono
sick at heart and doubtful of tho hu
manizing effect of our socalled modern
civilization. Cruelty to mon and women
is bail enough; awful when It falls upon
the aged and tho sick, but particularly
dreadful when the victim Is a little help
less orphan girl.
Several Instances have been before the
courts in the past few years where little
children have been tortured for months
with a fiendish ferocity which reminds
one of the Indian stories which wc read
with terror long years ago. In this
special crlmo of cruelty to children I
think Brooklyn surpasses -New York,
and only last week two fathers were
sent to States Prison foroutraglng their
own daughters, both of the children
being under thirteen years of age. lint
tho caso which has given a shock to the
cummtinltv Is that of n little orphan girl
by the name of Melville. From the best
evidence that can be procured It appears
that the female devil, her aunt, kept
the poor child tied to tho floor by a
strong rope attached to a staple, and
there the poor creature lay all through
the freezing winter and so far through
the summer's torrid heat on the baro
floor with a wooden box for her pillow,
fed llko a beast with the husks that fell
from her aunt's table, till In her dread
ful emaciation the bones cat through the
skin that was too poor to hold them. I
can hardly belle vo It while I write If the
appalling evidence were not before me.
The Indian tortured his enemies; I never
heard of them torturing the children of
their own flesh and blood. The woman
was childless, she had never felt or
known a mother's lovo for her children,
she would make no allowance for their
little childish faults; with her every In
fraction was a crime, and she corrected
it with an Iron hand. Last fall the poor
child picked n few grapes and strung
them Into a necklace; this little playful
mischief, which would have made an
ordinary mother laugh, awakened the
direst vengeance of tho fiendish aunt,
and sho forthwith tied her to the floor
of a miserable little den, and kept her
tied through long and terrible months
of suffering till released by the oillccrs
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelly to Children. There have been
times, I confess, when I have felt In
clined to find fault with the Society for
what I considered Its superservlccable
zeal, but when I think of the holy work
they have accomplished In rescuing
thousands of poor children from the.
most dreadful suffering and misery, I
bow In reverence before them and feel
that men will rise up and call them
blessed.
This poor Utile girl Is now under the
protection of the Society, and her cruel
relatives will have tho opportunity to
torturo her no more.
The case was a shocking one, and will
seive to detract from tho fair fame of
the so-called City of Churches. One
particularly dreadful feature of this case
Is that two men, the husband of the
woman and an adopted son aged twenty
two, sat by for months nnd never
stretched out a hand to save tho poor
helpless little orphan. Many of the
neighbors, too, had talked the matter
oyer for months among themselves, but
what was everybody's business was
nobody's, and the poor child was left to
suffer. The wretch who was the cause
of all this misery Is one of those self
righteous women who Imagines herself
right and everybody else wrong. She
defended her course of punishment and
seemed quite unconscious of her un
paralleled Infamy. It Is to hoped that
an extended residence In the peniten
tiary will give her time for reflection,
and tender such atrocious crimes as
hers impossible for some time to come
In New York and Ilrooklyn.
Tho evil of money was never better
exemplified than Ir the case of John
Halrd, late chief-engineer of our system
of elevated roads Mr. Halrd came to this
country from Scotland many years ago.
his only capital being his industry and
his genius, and for years it was a hand
to hand struggle for lifo. . The necessi
ties of a large family kept John Halrd
hard at work till his conspicuous ability
made him chief-engineer In charge of
our elevated roads. While John Halrd
was battling with fate and accumulating
millions, no one thought he was crazy;
when the owner of hundreds of thous
ands of dollars went about In a shabby
coat and a shocking had hat, no one
questioned his sanity; if he walked two
miles to save live cents on a horse car,
It was regarded as an evidence of his
thrift, and his prospective heirs satisfied
themselves by saying that father was a
very careful man. Hut his life-work
was about completed, and honest old
John Halrd, figuring up the result, found
the trial balance-sheet on the right side
several millions. Not bad for John
Halrd, say you. Then John Halrd, feel
ing that he had made so much money,
thought he had a right to spend some,
ami straigniway mere was a iiitcli in
John Halrd's family. He ordered good
dinners, and what Is more, he paid for
llicm; then ho gave some money to a
poor boy, and this was the father that
broke the camel's back. He did not
play draw-poker, faro nor scvon-up; ho
never bet on horse races nor took a flyer
on stocks, but he did not like any of his
family to get up from the table before
he was through, and he would insist on
reading his Hlble. lie read It at night
and again lu the morning, and occasion
ally ho Indulged In a chapter or two be
tween meals; but It does not appear that
any one was seriously Injured by that
They might possibly have endured his
bible reading, though tho poor old
lunatic declared It to be true.cvery word
of It, but they could not island to see
him spend a few thousands of the
millions ho hail accumulated. One of
the most striking and satisfactory evi
dences of his madness was the fact that
he did not like the wife and refused to
speak to the son who tried to shut htm
up In a lunatic asylum. If he had con
tinued poor no one but Jay Gould would
have thought him a lunatic. If he had
lost a round million on ll'all street
Russell SasnaudlllllConnerinlght have
j thought ho was mad. Tho judge who
heard tho case has taken It under ad
visement, and turned the old gentleman
! 0' er to th tu tody of bis son, Lot n
hope that his Hlble and his charity will
not rise In judgment against him.
Another case before tho courts Is that
of Count Cheesboro, who died leaving
a fortune of several hundred thousand
dollars. Ills daughter appeared to be
the only claimant till Chas. Chcesboro's
brother appeared to contest the will,
alleging that the claimant's mother was
never married to his brother. The
woman traveled with him all over
Kuropo and throughout tho United
States, and was everywhere registered
as his wife. On ocean steamers and at
Innumerable hotels she was known to
everybody as Mrs. Cheesboro. This
delectable brother seems to have but
very llttlo regard to his memory, for ho
knew the woman was living with him
as'hls wife for fifteen years; but for tho
sako of grabbing his money he goes Into
court to blast his brother's reputation,
to cast a stain on his dead wife and rob
the orphan of her heritage. The man
who of all others should have been her
friend nnd protector becomes her bitter
est enemy. Fortunately for Miss Chees-
borojthe proofs of her mother's marriage
are as conclusive as they can possibly be
without the absolute certificate.
Tills so-called Count Cheesboro was
a crack-brained character well known
In New York a few years ago, who was
In turn laughed at, ridiculed and robbed,
as chance played battledore and shuttle
cock with li 1 tu. At his father's death
he inherited a considerable fortune and
straightway went to Europe where ho
soon learned to apo the'ma'nners of no
bility. Somewhere in Germany he
bought a small estate which carried with
tl a title, and he returned to his native
land with the ensign of nobility upon
lilm. nis arms were engraven on his
silver, worked on all his clothes, painted
on his trunks, and he always Insisted on
his tltlo of Count and wore the blue
ribbon of his order on the lapel of his
coat. At times he seemed mad as a
March hare, but as he had plenty of
money and was lavish in his display he
always found plenty of admirers to
eat his dinners and help him spend his
money. Ho was an extraordinary dresser,
and though he lived before tho ago of
the dudes, ho wore stunning clothes
that would have made Harry Wall die
with envy. Henry Prowse Cooper tho
crazy tailor made his clothes, and It was
some of Count Chcesboro's stunnln.
suits that first brought Cooper Into
notice. Hut death came knocking at the
door at last and tho noble Count was
laid away with his plebeian fathers,
leaving behind htm a fortune for which
they are now fighting in the courts; but
as I said, tho caso Is virtually decided,
and there Is little doubt but Miss Chees
boro will recoyer her fortune.
While never enjoying In New York
politics the peace that passeth under
standing, It Is sonio time slneo we. have
had as lively a rattling among the dry
bones. The Hroadway Railroad was
the Hoard of Aldermen's bete norn,
The bribes In the Armory Hoard led
General Shaler to grief. "Now we have
the Commissioner of Public Works, and
ho swears that if he goes down the
Mayor shall go down with him. The
Mayor lias laid himself open to attack;
his connection with Grant and Ward
casts an unfavorable shallow on his ad
ministration, of which his enemies have
been swift to avail themselves. Strange
as it may seem, It is doubted by a great
many pcoplo If the chlefmaglstratc of
tha first city of tho Union Is a citizen of
the United States. The matter has
never been settled satisfactorily, and it
is said that hn has never attcuiptcd to
vote In tlib city for fear he would be
challenged, and ho dare not swear It in.
If we could only succeed In ousting the
whole pack and in having a new deal all
around It might be better; It could not
be worse, for now it Is about as bad as
bad can be.
The dog-days have not Improved our
temper, and we aro looking hopefully
for tho return of our wandering shep
herds, for we need all the grace that
they have got to spare.

Mn. Kiiitoii: The recent announce-
inent of Hon. A. M. Keiley's appoint
ment to an important and dignified posi
tion undei the Egyptian government,
has caused considerable surprise in po
litical circles here. It Is said at the
State Department that Mr. Keller's ap
pointment was decided upon Immediate
ly after the resignation of Judge Hatclic
lor, the former Incumbent of the otlico.
The salary attached to the olllce Is about
$3,000, and is paid by the Egyptian gov
eminent. The Cutting caso continues to be the
leading toplcof discussion. It Is under
stood that the question was very thor
oughly discussed at the last Cabinet
meeting, but nothing of importance re
garding tho matter has been given to
the public. The State Department of.
flclals are more than ordinarily reticent
on the subject and nothing can be
learned at the War Department. It is
believed, however, that although Mr.
Bayard has made no further demand
upon Mexico, that he Is still linn In the
position that he has taken, and that It
has been decided to await tho decision
of the Supremo Court of Mexico, to
which an appeal has been taken, before
taking further steps In the premises,
The Secretary of War left upon his sum
mer vacation on Thursday last, and as
ono of tho olliclals remarked, "That
dousn't look much like war, does its"
Pending the settlement of the Cutting
matter orders have been given by tho
Mexican Government postponing tho
commencement of work upon the new
legation building here, the plans of
which were recently approved, and
work was to have been commenced at
once.
The reappointment of Mr. James C.
Matthews, the new Recorder of Deeds
for the District, afterhls name had been
rejected by the Senate, was a surprise
; tn every one.- As by the terms of Mr.
Fred. Douglass resignation he was to
hold the otlico until his successor had
qualified, he has continued to draw the
salarv regularly until H'cduesday last,
w hen the olllce was formally transferred
to Mr. Matthews.
A prominent ex-United States Sena
tor, who was Interviewed by a rcpoiter
of the H'i(iia(oit tVfffc, made the
statement tlmt whenever the Senate
of tho United State which has equal
and co-ordinate power with tho Presi
dent In tho matter of appointment of of
ficers rejects the nomination of a per
son whoso name has been sent In by tho
President for appointment to a certain
olllce, such rejection Is advising the
Executive that the Scnato docs not con
sent to the appointment; nnd by this
official net' of that body the person whose
name was rejected Is constitutionally
disqualified from performing the duties
and receiving the trusts and profits of
that certain office while the recorded
judgment of the Senate remains unre
versed. That is the whole caso In a
nut shell, and there Is no law oi preced
ent to gainsay It. Tho President must
have acted In theso matters without con
sideration or consultation."
The statute Of General Rawlins, which
was formerly placed upon a reservation
at the Intersection of Now York Avenue
nnd 18th Street, Is about to bo removed
to the smalt triangle at the southeast
corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and Oth
Street. The transfer of the statute was
brought about by tho Army of the Ten
nessee, as It was thought that the mem
orial to so distinguished an officer should
have a more prominent site than had
been afforded It.
Tho President and Mrs. Cleveland
have all of tbclr plans atranged, and
will leave for thcAdirondack wilderness,
In Northern New York, early next week.
They have engaged rooms at the cele
brated summer hotel of Paul Smllh's,
upon the Upper Saranac Lake, and will
probably spend four or five weeks at
least in the woods. II.
KNIOHTS OF LABOR.
THE OltOANIZATION" CONDEMNED AT
HOME AH A SECRET SOCIETY.
Rome has finally spoken upon the
question of the Knights of Labor. The
society is unequivocally condemned by
the. Holy Sec, and the Bishops of the
Church aro cnjolnted to proceed against
It as against all the secret societies under
the Papal ban. Cardinal Taschereati,
of Quebec, has just communicated this
decision to tho public in the shape of a
letter addressed to his Bishops. The
following Is a translation of the letter:
Your Lordship: On the ISth of May last I
repesenti'd to his Eminence, the Cardinal
Prefect of tho Sacred emigration of the I'ropn
ganda, the divergencies ot opinion expressed
by the newspapers of Canada and tho United
Stales on the subject of the society of the
Knights of Labor, condemned In September,
1MI. As It was pretended the effoct of this
sentence stood suspended by an appeal
affirmed to have been carried before tho Holy
See litter inodlflratloiiHliait been made In the
constitution ot this society I begged his
Eminence to make known with certainty the
position of the Church In regard to It. A
letter from his Eminence, Cardinal Simennl.
dated the 12th ot July, informs mu that on
the 27th of .tune last the Sacred Office, after
n re-examluatlon of the question, maintained
Its judgment of 1R84 absolutely hi the same
terms, which arc reproduced In his letter, us
follows :
"Considering tho principles, organization
and rules of the society of the Knights of
Labor as they are set forth, this society must
bo classed among those which have been
condemned according to the Instructions of
this Supreme Congregation on the Mth nf
May, lsst; that the bishops he enjoined to
proceed as well against (his society as
against others nf the same kind, and to em
ploy the remedies ordered or advised In .said
Instructions."
Your lordship will recall that In my con
sultation of the eth ot October. lci, I made
no i ('presentation of mv own ujionthe prlncl
p'es of the organization nnd the rules of the
society, hut I purely and simply transmitted
to tlm Holy Sea an authenticated printed
copy of Its constitution, with a prayer to ex
amine It all the more carefully Ijcc.iush this
society seemed to cmbnice all branches of
work and workers, which, moreover. Its
name clearly Indicates. The pretended np
)ear to the ltolv Sro has hern long Invoked
to create the belief lint, pending the final de
cisions, persons could continue to enroll
thcmseles or to remain hi the society, pro
vided always that they were sincerely dis
posed toobev the final sentence upon the an
neal. If that appeal had been leally made,
It Is impossible that the sacred ofllee shoulil
not have been seled of It, became this matter
belongs to Its exclusive resort. Consequently,
ed tome by his Eminence, Canuiul Slmeoul
