Europe, Poland may play a very important part. Parceled out as she has beers among her three great oppressors, Prussia, Russia and Austria, no unity was broken but that of her geographical lines. The national sentiment never died out, but has rather increased with pression. The leaders of polish na- tional sentiment are to-day the best op- posted men om European affairs on the continent, they are perfectly fa- miliar with war preparations of the three great nations which are watching each other looking anxi- ous for a weak spot in the enemy's armor. Poland staads ready to throw her weight on the side that will best serve her purpose. It will not be a mere choice of masters, it will be one grand move towards the goal of polish ambition, self gov- ernment, nationality. Her lead- ers are in position to dictate terms to either Russia, Austria or Ger- many and they will make the best terms for Poland. It isthe uncer. tiain quanity of the couniry whose geographical lines were outraged by the three great powers of Cen tral Europe that prevents war. Po- land was long since obliterated from the map of Europe, but polish na- tional sentiment is as strong as ever, but waits the chance to assert itself. It may be Austria whose proud Eempress “Maria Thersa,” when signing the treaty partitioning Po. land, said she “prostitued her honor for the sake of a paltry bit of land” that will be the beneficiary of pol- ish balance of power or it may be either of her neighbors, It but re- cently that the Poles have figured as a factior in European affairs, as all the operations of her politi. cians have been carried on with great secrecy. It would be “poetic justic” should Poland assist in the re-formin 3 of geographical bound. ries for her three oppressors, extending over a period of five years, with majorities higher than ever in the history of the party in torn by local dissensions, anfmany direction of a monopoly tariff and styling themselves Democrats while ly to the policy of the fathers of the party and upholds interpreted by the in Congress, platform Democratic majority with struggles among the as leaders, and the grave suspicion that here- tofore the organization has been run in the interests of a single the and his dividual, a tail to = Republican kite, Mr. Kisner | tic can f is a head of them in the In the work of tion faction will be banis! the wm a vague idea of what next paign predicted that f th | defe at of Mr. Randall ie support of its chairman. at Harris | burg is simply notice to that gen. {tleman and to the world that Penn sylvania Democrats are enlisted on [the side of the President and against a monopoly tariff.

What it Means. The election of Mr. Kisner over Mr. Sanders while a defeat for Mr. Randall is no evidence of faction- al differences to arise in the future. It was the natural-outgrowth of the undemocratic policy pursued by Mr. Randall on the tariff and the party had to decide between the Piusident backed up by the democracy of the whole country or Mr. Raadall and his Republican alliance. The party chose to sup port its president and to put itself in line with the national democracy on the great question of revenue reduction and tarifi reform. The action of the committee will be heartily sustained and Pennsylva- nia Democrats will not go into the next campaign handicapped with a doubtful or evasive deliverance on questions of public policy. If revenue reduction and tariff reform do not come at the present session of Congress it will not be the fault of the Democratic party or its ad- | ministration.

The members of the delegation, kneeling before the Pope, received the Apostolic benediction for them. selves and for their people. Dr. O’Cannell, Secretary of the Amer~ ican College. presented the album to the Pope and translated the President's dedication. The Pope listened with the utmost satisfac tion, examined the gift carefully, and expressed his admiration for the exquisite taste and neatness of its execution. It was an especial pleasure, he said to receive a copy of the Constitution of the United States. Dr. O'Connell then read to the Pope a letter from Cardioal Gibbons in which he spoke of the election to the great office which he has so acceptaby filled. Messrs.
