THE LONG-LIVED POPES.
The popular theories of Osler
ism meet with a striking excep
tion in the papacy, ami one that
persists through a long period of
time. Looking back into the his
tory of the Vatican for over J00
years, it is notable fact that popes
are elected late in life and that
they seemingly juslify the prin
ciple by exceeding the psalmist's
limitation of our span lo three
score and ten.
Since 1775, when Pius VI, was
elected pope at the age of 58,
there have been eight popes, in
clusive, and their average age at
election to the'highest office in
the church has bden 63 years, an
age which in American civil and
military life is considered proper
Tor retireinenl. Of the seven
popes since that lime, coining
down lo the present Indy father,
(he average age at death is over
80 years and 6 months.
That there is wisdom in age ap
pears to be Ihe belief of Ihe C.alh
olic church, and whatever may be
the theological differences of
opinion cniiee'niing the church,
its marvelous effectiveness is
generally recognized.
Pius VI. was elected pope a! 58
and died al 8g>: Pius VII. reigned

Vt/iLGOIM IV!AY VISIT SENATE.
Tin. strung position President
Wilsim lias assumed In the cou
<1 tic| nf foreign affairs lias raised
Hie itiIere>l mg i|iieslioii whether
Idle president will use his un
doubted prerogative to discuss
treaties with Hie Semite in its ex
ecutive sessions behind closed
doors.
Washington was-the niil> pres
ident. who ever did that and his
experiences on two days decided
him not to repeat the occasion.
He simply informed the Senate
on Aug. I. I 78!), .that on the next
day he would meet-to advise with
them concerning an Indian treaty.
That tie did. being received un
der the rules, as the “Head of the
Senate," I hough occupying a seal
on the floor. The tradition is
that he liked so little the cross
(juestinning to which he was sub
jected that when tie left the
chamber after the second session,
he muttered to a member of his
cabinet.:
“I’ve been to the Senate, and
I’ll be d-if I ever go there
again."
Excepting Wilson, no president
since Adams has addressed eith
er house, or as far as the rec
ords show, visited the floors of
cither house white in session,
both Grant and Lincoln were fa
miliar figures at the capitol.
Grant confined his visits to the
room of Speaker Blaine, a per
sonal friend. But Lincoln, in the
stress of war legislation, occupied
the president’s room and icon
ferred at close range with his
friends in the Senate.
PROSPERITY IN SIGHT.
Never have conditions in Alas
ka looked brighter for a banner
year than at present. From Nome
to Skagway, all cities are prepar
ing for added business and many
of them are enjoying the resump
tion of traffic which has already
begun. That there is to be an
enormous increase in the interior
business is evidenced by the way
the transportation companies are
starting out to capture it.
One of tile foremost to see the
coining events is the White Pass
railway company. With new
boats on the lower Yukon and new
boats being put into service con
necting Seattle with Fairbanks in
a through transportation service,
evidences I he foreshadowing of
activities to come.
The government is sure to be
gin the construction of railroads
within the next year, which means
I the development of the country
along main lines. Coal mining
has already begun, and gold and
copper mining is increasing by
leaps and bounds.
The increased output of the Al
lin mining district and the new
strikes in the t’eslin is even now
adding to the business that is be
ing done in Skagway. Juneau is
j enormously increasing her min
ing development; the White, riv
er, and Kluane countries are
showing better than ever before,
and there is a promise of a rail
road being constructed tapping
the rich deposits in the districts
back of Haines.
Coining right down to home af- 1
fairs, we hear it rumored, from |
good sources, that the White Pass j
is to standardize their system
and begin laying a broad gauge
track before the closing of anoth
er season. II is with that end in
view that no new equipment is j
being ordered for (lie present sys- i
lorn. Considering all tilings,
there is every reason In believe
in a coining era of prosperity
Ibal will satisfy the most pessi
mist ic.—Skagway Alaskan.
