In a Quandary.

—This is what a London, England, paper has to say: “The poor old pope is in a quandary; he doesn’t know where to place his sympathy in the present conflict between Spain and the United States. Spain is and always has been intensely Catholic, and has times without number demonstrated its faithfulness to the pope, even to the death—of all those not in harmony with him. On the other hand, the pope considers the Catholics of the United States the pick of the flock, and looks to that country as the hope of the church for the future. • Truly, he who in this evil world has the task of posing as the representative of Christ, and at the same time interfering in earthly politics, has a hard lot.”
