The advent of Archbishop Satolli to the United States, clothed as he is with extraordinary powers, is an event not lacking in probable political significance. Neither is the fact that he has established his court at Washington, without meaning. Thus far there is no positive authority for saying that the Monsignor is to be the political as well as the spiritual representative of the Pope in this country; but inasmuch as it has long been understood that the Vatican desires to establish diplomatic relation with the Government at Washington, it would not be at all strange if, with the soon-coming change of administration, the Pope would renew the proffers of “friendly relations,” and ask that either Satolli or some one else be accepted by Mr. Cleveland as the political representative of the Vatican.
