the announcement of tho honors

Secrecy regarding the appointments
was so well maintained that the great
imme- majority of the people of Rome only
learned ot the selections this morning.
Wannest congratulations have been
the work which most of Its members
are Intended to carry on. On one oc-
casion only are they called upon la
perform a duty which, to one Ignorant
of history and the constitution of the
Church, would seem to demand equal
representation on the part of all the
nations of Christendom. And that is
the election of the Pope.
In olden times the Pope was elected
by the suffragans of the Roman See,
and by the clergy an! nobility ot
Rome. Ho was as much tho head of
the Universal Church then ns now.
He was as much tha head ot the Uni-
versal Church ns If he were selected
by the votes of every Bishop and
priest in the world. His powers and
prerogatives camo with the office. It
is idle to compare the Catholic Church
with any other institution on earth,
and then demand that what is fount!

should, in all fairness, be reproduced
in that world-wide domination.
The Catholic Church has been com-
pared to the Republic of tho United
States, and some appear to think
that wo should have the same repre-

While we eaunot vouch for the ac-
curacy of the reports concerning
prospective elevations to the Sacred
College, the dispatches which we pub-
lish In nnother column, from Rome,
New York and Boston, have an air of
verisimilitude which leads us to be-
lieve that they are substantially cor-
rect. No official announcement has
yet reached us.
The elevation ot three prelates ot
the American Church to the rank anil
dignity of Cardinals will undobutedly
bo gratifying to the fifteen million
Catholics ot the United States, as a
recognition of the growth and Influ-
ence ot the Catholic body and of the
high estimation In which the chief
members of the American Hierarchy
are held. It may be well to explain,
however, that such appointments, if
made, would effect no change what-
ever in the government ot the Church
in this country, and have but little
appreciable effect on the Church ut
Those who have been claim-
ing that the Church In America
should be more largely represented In
the Sacred College than it has been
overlook the fact that the College of
Cardinals Is not and noypr was intend-
ed to be a body representing the
whole Catholic world. Such repre-
sentation la foreign to the ides of its

ning was there, not because he was
addressed ns "Your Eminence,'’ hut
because he was Archbishop of West-
minster. Had John Henry Newman
been a Cardinal st that time, he would
have been permitted to remain nt
home, for he was never consecrated
to the episcopate ,
So there Is no ground for tho popu-
lar misconception that the College of
Cardinals Is. or should be, a repre-
sentative body, and that nil uations
should be equally represented there-
in. To the Pope belongs, and in him
resides, the real government of
Christ's Chundi. The Cardlnulate Is
not a legislative organftatlon, but n
subordinate body of advisers to the
Supremo Pontiff.

Among those who attended the fu-

ter M. Scholastica and Sister M. Con-

uni conditions. The Bishop vial ted
nil pails of the vicariate at frequent
Intervals, and the great hardships lie
had to undergo on many of these
journeys have berm more than once
chronicled in the Southern Messenger.
These privations in lime contributed
Io the breakdown of his health, which
had been in a precarious condition for
lhe last few years. Mis sense 6f duty.
Jiow-Eiver, did not permit him to take u
respite from Ills labors, and It was in
the midst of as arduous tour of Visi-
tation and Confirmation that death
finally overtook him, as elsewhere re-
lated. He died, literally, ''in the har-
jness,1' ministering, to tlie last, to the
spiritual wants of tho flock which
God Imd committed to his care.
Bishop Verdaguer possessed a high
tense at duty and courageously lived
tip to It. His powera of endurance
were remarkable. Frequently, on
Confirmation tours, he would preach
four or ftv» sermons in one day. de-
spite the fatigue ot travel and ot the
lengthy liturgical ceremonies. He
was a true priest and a true Bishop,
ever solicitous for the spiritual wel-
fare of the souls entrusted to bis
charge, and never weary of laboring
to bring tho grace of the Sacraments
to the humblest of bls flock and the
most remote parts ot his vicariate.
With a strongly marked individual-
ity of character lie combined an aml-y
able simplicity of disposition which
endeared him to all who knew him.
He was greatly respected and esteem-
admittance, remained outside in tbe
pluza throughout tho lengthy cere-
monies.

Tbe Church in Texas Is again in
mourning for one of her chief pas-
tors. After a long life, full of rich
service to God and humanity, tlie
Right Reverend Peter Verdiiguer,
Bishop ot Au Ion and Vicar Apostolic
of Brownsville, was suddenly sum-
moned to ills eternal reward on
Thursday, October 2G.
Peter Verdagtier was born in San
Pedro, Province of Catalonia. Spain,
in 1835. He received bls education
partly in the seminary of the city of
Vice and partly in tile seminary of
Barcelona. Having volunteered for ■
the American missions, he left Barce-
lona on September 27. 18(10, bound
for the United States. Tlie first two
years after ids arrival he spent In the
study of theology at St. Vincent's
Seminary. Cape Girardeau, Mo. Hav-
ing completed hit: studies, he was or-
dained to the holy priesthood tn San
Francisco or. December 12, 1862, by
the Rt. Rev. Thaddetis Amat, D. D.,'
C. M., then Bishop of Monterey and
Los Angeles.
Father Verdaguer's first appoint-
ment was as assistant priest nt Suu
Luis Obispo, Cat. A year later he
was made parish priest of Sun Sal-
vador and San Bernardino. He built
the first church at the tatter place in
1865-fifl. in 18(17 he was transferred
to the San Gabriel Mission, where he
remained four years, having also un-
der his charge during that time mis-
sions at Anaheim, Santa Ann, Po-
mona and other places. He built the
first church in Auahelm tn J 8(i9. In
1871 he was sent again to Kan Ber-
nardino, whore he remained till Mgy.
1874, when he was transferred to . .
Los Angeles Here hv was parish cd by his brethren ot the hierarchy,
priest of the whole city until Decem-
ber 29, 1879. when the parish was
divided, in 188(1 lie established a
parochial school for boys, which he
subsequently enlarged. In 1888 he
received permission from hie Bishop
to build a church in East Los An-
geles. He bought the lots, built a
small room tor temporary use and
then turned the property over tc the
priest appointed to be pastor of the
new parish.
Father V,wdaguer was in charge of
the church at Los Angeles tor1 n long-
er period than that served by any
other clergyman tn the city ut that
time. During his Incumbency he al-
so held services from time to time nt
lhe neighboring towns of San Fer-
nando, Newhall, Ravenna and Lancas-
ter. He was widely known through-
cut that section ot California by the
affectionate title ot "Father Peter.”
and he held the respect, esteem and
confidence ot ail classes of people. At
the celebration of tho silver jubilee ot
bls ordination, in December, 1887, fie
■received numerous tokens of affection
and pnnroc" Hon, including a purse

I ’ athor Verdaguer was< large,
nuch needed rest and well’
vacation, with permission to
■ . as native country. It was
while visiting his surviving relatives
and the scenes of bls youth In Spain
that the Holy See appointed him
(July 3, 1890) to be Vicar Apostolic
of Brownsville. Texas. Father Ver-
daguer was passing through France
on his return journey to California
when tbe news of his nomination
reached him. Knowing the extent ot
ills vicariate, aud tbe great need ot
more priests there, be decided to re-
turn to Barcelona, to bo consecrated
there and at the same time to endeav-
or to obtain missionaries. On Nov-
ember 9, 1890;The was consecrated
BIsl.op in the Cathedral of Bafceiana
with great pomp, by the Bishop of
that city, tisslBted by the Bishop of
