r , Oct. 2'J. Interview * with rmincnt
cardinals , who are In a position to know all
the secret. ' ) of political opinion at the Vatican ,
con Jinn the accuracy of the statements ca
bled in these dispatches a few days ago In
regard to the feeling at the Vatican touching
the demonstration of French pilgrims at the
pantheon.
An Associated press correspondent has
had an Important interview upon the matters
referred to with one of the most Inllucntlal
cardinals , n prelate who Is an Intlm.lto friend
of the pope , and In every way qualillcd to
express opinions on the subject. He said in
EUbstnncu :
"Our position In Homo has undergone a
radical ch'ingo ' as n result of thcovcntsand
of the disorders of October 'J. The investi
gation which wo have made Into that inci
dent has proved that the demonstration , jnsti-
lled under a chimerical pretext , was prepared
and arranged In advance by the ( ( cvcrnmcnt
and Monotll Ganualdl , against the raulco-re-
publican demonstration of Nice and ngnin&t
the popo.
"Tho king , tbo ministers and the liberal
monarchical party were fearful of tlio consequences
quences which might arise from ttie alliance
of the republic with the radical republicans.
"Besides , we also know that Iho triple alii-
mice has been Informed of this gamoaiid that
it approved of this manifestation as a reply
to Iho fates nt Nice , and as a direct attack
upon the pope and the pilgrims. U was a
< le ? I red ulllnnntion , premeditated , 01 mo
narchical right against the Frencu republic
nml against the btatu quo at Uoine. It wns
M. Do Lucia , the under secretary of state of
the interior department , and Menottl Gari
baldi , who arranged the terms of this con
spiracy.
"Tho Italian government sent to all the
mayors u circular letter in order to add
weight to the manifestation.
"We have received the most pungent de
tails In regard to the rccopllon given to these
Minitnoiis , M ny of the mayors were em
barrassed and did not know how to reply to
this summons. Wo are In possession of sev
eral cxemplaries of tbcbo conlidcutial
letters. "
'But why has so largo a part of the
monarchical and liberal world Mvorcd tboso
outrages upon French pilgrims 1" asked the
correspondent.
"Tho answer is that the government
wished to give to the world the Impression
that Homo Is opposed to the pope , and that
Itnly will not have any reconcilement with
Franco or any amicable uiiderjtaiiding be
tween the Vatican and the French republic.
Tlio demonstration was tbo prolongation or
the result of the republican and democratic
polloy of the pope ,
"You cannot iim'.gino the anxieties and
fe.ira of our liberal and olllchil world In face
of the Isolation of tbo holy see. Our liberals
had expected that the religious war waved in
Fiance would prevent , all rising of opinion in
this country , and that it would result sooner
or later in u violent rupture with the holy
ice.
Living In a Stale ol' Trouble.
"Sinco ibo famous to.ist of Cardinal La-
vlgorio and the demonstrations of Cronstadt ,
nil our onlcial world , monarchical , liberal and
Buctarl.m bus been llvingln n state of trouble.
It fell its odillcc , so laboriously erected , to
bo cracking and threatening rt > in.
' 'All hopes , all Illusion ! * were vanishing
mid then came the scandals of October ' . ' .
"You may bo astonished at the folly of the
government of the liberals in driving away
the pilgrimages , because this cnurco of
revcnno for Home and Itnly is now ruined In
Hpito of Its economic decadence.
"But It Is necessary to go to tbo bottom of
tbo matter ; it is necessary to know that olll-
clal Italy desired to teach a lesson , to show
that she lias made up her mind to admit all
excesses and to go to all extremes , and Unit ,
fur from adapting herself to the now situa
tion , she would pruier assassination , the ex-
iliiiK of the pope and pillage of the Vatican.
"Such is the threat contained in that crisis
and In tboso blows from sticks bestowed
upon the pilgrims. And , let It bo nddod , Leo
1XIII perfectly understood the meaning it wns
intended to convoy to him. As I have already
told y'ou , and as cabled to tbo United Stains ,
tlio pope said , referring lo these affairs1 :
nui no longer a prisoner ; I aui n hostage. I
nin threatened with exile and qssas.slnalion
If I will not capitulate before the enemy. '
"The pope saw correctly. The manifesta
tions of Homo signify that oftlcinlly Italy de
sires to play scandal between the pope and
the faithtul ; oftlrlally Italy dcalros toboqucs-
li-.ito him , to restrict his liberty , and she de
clares by this that if thu pope iloos not yield
that ho will bo killed or that ho will bodriven
from Home.
"It Is Homo closed to the pilgrims or the
pope expelled from Home.
"Oftlchil Italy sees with apprehension the
progress iho pope Is making , not only in thu
world at large , but in Homo Itself.
Slnco the workliigmen's manifestations on
February S , ISM" " , and tbo explosion of the
powder magazine nt Monte Vords , the In
habitants of Homo have commenced to draw
positive parallels between the consequences
of the statu quo and the policy of the vatl-
ciin. Public opinion has transformed Itself
under iho pressure of events. Ji Is iho now
regime which has brought misery to this
city , when , In dnjs gone by , Home was con
tinually en foto.i
"Throughout ibo summer our populations
have been looking forward to tlm pilurlimiircs
us if they were ihu temporal mcsslaii , spread-
Inir broadcast both gold and silver. Hut
when Iho JIUoral party felt this popular cur
rent spreading , when they saw the people
fraternising with the pllgrims.whuu It found
Itself , above all , confronted by iho Incompar
able. and unnilslaKnblo manifestations of pop
ularity exhibited towards the holy father , it
was afraid.
"It said to Itself that an cud must bo put
to these Insliuctivo speclncles ni.il to the
compromising comparisons made with it.
Itomo In Mourning.
"Tho scandals were not only acts of violence
lence , they were principally nets of weak
ness anil dospair. The population of Homo
l.s In mourning , Kvcrybody rcptola these
P.mthcon Incidents ; but nobody bus tbe cour-
KKO to nravu the anger of thn government.
The Italian pcoplo are u fatalist people. "
"Will the pope accept this now Munition ! "
the cardinal was asked.
"Never , " was the firm reply , "even though
lits life Is threatened , Mnce the Vatican is
denounced and placed in a state of sicgo.
lint the conscience of the pope Is Incorrupt
ible. and Indexible. His energy is imioniit-
ulilo. I'ndcr thoenvelono so frail , under Unit
diaphanous physiognomy , Is concealed a

"Hutvuat will the pope do eventually ! "
said the correspondent , addressing the
highly distinguished cardinal who favored
him with the nbovo insight Into secret vat-
lean matters.
" 1 do not yet know , " was the roplv. "Ho
has caused n diplomatic note to bo sent to the
papal nuncios , touching din-ctly upon the
real slirnlllcatice of the Pantheon scandals.
Leo Alii. , who weighs acts before coming to
decisions , will wait , bnforo taking any slop ,
for the public mind to bo Influenced upon the
origin and the character of the liberal mani
festations. When this work of preparation
Is accomplished ho will act.
"I can say , however , oven today , that the
Incident ( the Pantheon disturbances ) will
have the most serious consequences for Italy ,
for the Vatican nml for the situation In gen
eral. The relations between Itnlv and Iho
pop- ' , between the faithful and Home , and
perhaps between the stain and the Vatican
will certainly bo seriously modified. "
" \VI11 the pope leave Homo ! " was the cor
respondent's next question.
Itcady to Leave the Holy City.
"Nothing is yet decided , " answered the
cardinal , "but ovorythinir is ready for such
a step. Slnco October 'J the ecclesiastical
world has been partly prepared for sucli a
grave measure. But moro recent events nave ,
to nn appreciable extent , clmngod the state
of mind. Kverybody is persuaded that the
adversities will go on to the bitter end. I'bo
occupation of Homo , they say. us I have al
ready Informed you , will bo followed , as In
the case of the commune , by the massacre of
the hostages.
"I showed that it is. above all , the pope
who Is animated by Iho Invincible sentiment
of this radical movement In the ( situation.
Leo XIII has closely remarked the attitude
of the triple alliance. Ho is aware of Iho
secret machinations and ho will act in cense
quence. "
"How about ttio conclave ! " Hnnlly asked
the correspondent.
"The sanm sudden change occurs there.
Our clerical world was dreading an exodus
and nn Innovation , and wo were divided as to
the decisions to take. Hccent events have
caused u long step In the idea of holding the
conclave abroad. Wo all feel that the situa
tion is driftine fatally toward extremes.
"Wo thought tuat in the case of war nlono
should wo bo compelled to seek for a pope
nuroiul , but events have enlightened us as to
tlio last designs of tlio Italian revolution. Wo
r.hall bo obliged to glvo way for a moment to
force and to leave for abroad. "

A. L. Warrlck. The Hemingford brass band

An old-time republican love feast then

out nn occupant leaving Iho hall. Amongtho
mottoes was ono attached to a largo line red
cedar post , "Wo are for Judge Post. " The

GF.HINO , Nob. , Oct. SSpecial ( to TUB
BII : : . ] The republicans of Scotts Bluff
county enjoyed n wuklnir up Wednesday
afternoon , which was also shared by many
others of different political faith. Tlio occa
sion was a grand opening rally , which was
addressed By Attorney General Hastings
and Lieutenant Governor Thomas J. Majors.
The audience was composed of representative
men and farmers from alt sections of the
county und tbo largo hall was tilled and
overflowing ; The mooting was llrst addressed
by the attorney general , who eloquently re
viewed the history of the nation with refer
ence to tlio effect of the various tarilT enact
ments , and then passed on to the financial
questions , showlnir by conclusive argument
the uoncllt of protection to American in
dustry and the American woruingman and
farmer , ana the sound position of Iho repub
lican party as to free coinage of silver. The
portion of tlio speech most loudly applauded
was that wherein ho showed by computation
that the crop of NebinsUti this year was of
vnluo sufficient , if applied to that purpose , to
wipe out the stale debt , the county , city and
municipal debts , and after all that was done
lo cancel tbo Individual Indebtedness of
every man , woman and child In the state and
leave 510,000,000. Tno calamity howler re
ceived n backset in this county-right there.
Governor Majors followed , and although
suffering from a severe indisposilion , ho entertained -
tortained the audience in his inimitable stvle
for some timo. Ho began by narrating his
llrst visit to this section when a member of
the First Nebraska ho passed through en
route to Fort Laramio. From tLls ho easily
carried tils hearers back to the benighted
days of ISHl-O. . , and lauded the republican
party's ' material gratitude to the soldier.
vVhon tlio governor began producing the
evidence of tbo broken promises made by the
independents during last year's campaign , bo
did it so thoroughly and withal so courte
ously that good must follow. The shameful
record of extravagance made by the boasted
retonn legislature was aired thoroughly.
Republican enthusiasm ran to a higher
pitch than ever before in tills city , and tbo
fires of party faith wore rekindled in many a
dormant heart , If expressions made later uro
true.

which Eric Johnson , chief clerk of the lalo
legislature , was the star performer. Ho made
his speech , and while talking MoPhcoly , n
lawyer from Minden , dropped in on his way
homo from a trip to the western part of the
county. After Johnson had concluded there
were calls for McPhooly. Ho arose , and
after the unanimous consent of the mooting
and the special invitation of Caplain John
son , bo opened his batteries and proceeded
lu a gentlemanly nut earnest manner to show
up the fallacy of their positions anil doc
trines. In street parlance , ho completely
paralyzed them , and as ho proceeded
in bis lulk they began to show signs of being
awful sorry they had given him so much
privilege. Ho told thorn truths , backed by
the records , which were unanswerable , nud
made ihem acknowledge that bo was right.
It was a disastrous mooting for the calamity
crowd , and they will know better hereafter
than to invite MePheoly lo reply lo such
demagogues us Krlc Johnson.

or Ills Speech ,
l''iNti.AV ) , O. , Oct. 23. Secretary of the
Tromury Foster nmilo his first speech for the
republican party In the Ohio campaign nt tliu
wigwam In this city tonlK'Ht. Ho wns greeted
by n largo audience. Ho discussed the silver
question mid tlio tariff In the main , devoted a
snmll portion of his speech to state Issue *
and to the gerrymander of congressional dis
tricts by the last democratic general nssetn-
bly.In
In opening tbo speaker dwelt upon the Im
portance of the contest In Ohio. The result ,
ho said , would probably determine for years
to como whether the present nrotcotlvo
policy should ba sustained ; whether n sound
llnancinl policy should bo innintalncd and
whether or not this country should bo gov
erned by the majority as originally intended
by the framers of the constitution.
After discussing briefly the state issues
Involved the secretary proceeded to consular
the national questions enumerated. Ho ad
dressed his remarks first to the question of
majority rule. To begin with , ho continued ,
the south gives Its entire electoral vote to
tne democratic candidate for president. The
solid south had been oolUI by toul wrongs , but
for the existence of which a majority of its
electoral votes should bo given to the republi
can. In the northern states when ) the demo
crats linvo haa control they have en
acted into laws a systematic and atrocious
method of gerrymandering the congressional
districts. The democrats in various of the
northern states ( Ohio included ) contemplate
the election of presidential electors by con
gressional districts. Thus these states
would elect democratic electors although
the republicans were in the ma
jority. This accomplished the solid
Houlh and Tiimmany hull , though
largely in the minority , would rule lito coun
try under the forms of law. Ho put the
question seriously : "How leng can free
institutions cnduro with a system of minority
rule , though under the forms of Jaw , thus
Ins toned upon our people ! " This , ho added ,
was the most serious question before the people
ple at the coming election.
Jan-jern of Free Col mine.
Proceeding to the money question , ho srdd
it was an issue between the two parties in
Ohio , anil in most of the states of the union.
The democrats declared for the free and un
limited coinage of silver. The repuDlicans
stood upon conservative grounds and In
favor of the present law upon the subject.
The means of the people , ho said , favored
the use of both irold and silver as money.
The republican party by conservative man
agement bail been able to maintain both
metals and to keep , 408,000.000 silver dollars
coined since IS'b , in domestic circulation at
par with gold for money uses. The danger
to bo avoided was such legislation r.s would
place the country upon u silver basis.
The free colnacc of silver would place the
country on a silver basis , a basis of measure
ment of values fluctuating with 'tho imiruot
price of sliver bullion. The yard stick or
dollar , by which values wore measured ,
would ho clastic and uncertain.
The great dancer of froa and unlimited
coinngo was that the sliver dollar would bo
worth only Its bullion value , or about 75
cents.
It was an Immutable law of finnnco that
the poorer dollar always displaced the bettor
one. AMlvor basis would exclude the ii'M-
000,000 of gold now In the country from use
as monoy. It would largely go abroad to pay
for the silver that would bo sent from
foreign countries.
Ho know it was disputed by the democrats
that I hero was any silver abroad to bo sent
here. His investigations , however , had led
him to believe that there was in Germany ,
Austrailm and other countries of Kurope ,
more than $ ' 200,000 000 of silver , to say noth
ing of the vast hordes of silver in Mexico and
the South American countries , in tbo shape
of coin , Jewelry , etc. , that would como to this
country the moment the government would
pay $ l.3'J ' per ounce for it or oven a lower
rate.
rate.This Inilux of silver on such a IW.MS , which
would inevitably bo the result of free coin
age , would soon compel this country 10
abandon gold and to put llsolf upon a silver
basis. Free coinage meant that the owner
of 75 cents worth of silver could take
it to the mints and have it coined
into a local tender dollar ; n
dollar that , if this country were able
to maintain gold payments ( as these free sil
ver advocates contend ) would glvo the holder
of 75 cents worth of silver 100 cents gold
value. If we are to have unlimited coinage ,
why not give the profit to all of the people ,
rather than to the individual holder of the
bullion ?
It was tbo edict of the government that
gave the coined dollar the value of 100 cents
in gold.
"Tbo republican party proposed conserva
tive action. It had gone as fur us prudence
would permit in the matter ol sliver legisla
tion , uiul upon that record it stood. I liuvo
made , " continued the speaker , "in a very
quiet way quite a careful investigation of the
fcolingof foreign countries upon thosnbjcct of
an International agreement between then ] and
our country by which gold and silver upon
some acceptable basis can bo maintained at a
parity , I have but llttlo hesitancy in saying
that but for the focllng existing abroad that
public sentiment In this country is such as to
compel the adoption of unlimited free coin
age , wocould make sonic agreement for at least
a bettor use of silver , If not a complete. Inter
national agreement upon this question , ' ' con
tinued the spoakor. "In twenty-four SUKM
the democrats had declared for fv.U coinage ;
in a few s atos that they ban put themselves
upon equivocal platforms and In 0110 state
only had they declared in favor of a bound
polloy. "
The success of the democratic party In
Ohio meant that unlimited free coinage of
silver would bo the p atforin of that party in
18i > 3 , and democratic siicce.ss In the nation
meant that this country must go upon u sil
ver basis ; It meant that in thU respect this
country must be on n par in its money trans-
actloiiH With Mexico and Asia.
"Let us to continue to pursue t'io republi
can policy of conservatism. Lot us convince
Europe that wo uro not going on a silver
standard. My word for It , whou Kuropo is
convinced that wu will not adopt the policy
of free and unlimited ccinuge , or , In other
words , that wn will not pluco ourselves
upon a silver basis , wo will bo able to
como to some agreement for the bailer
use of silver , If not at once to an international
agreement by which tbo parity of the two
moluli upon an agreed ruto may bo main
tained , The republican policy Is tbo pulley
of saftity. Thy democratic policy Is the policy
of demoralisation and disaster. "
\Vliut tlm Tariff HUH Done Tor UN.
The speaker than passed on to the consid
eration of the tariff question. He quoted the
prophesies of several noted democrats of the
dlro disaster which would follow the p.mlng
of the McKlnloy bill , and quoted government
statistics to show that not only had
disaster not overtaken the country , but
an unequalled period of prosperity was
dawning. Tin ) total foreign commorcu of the
