That Veto

' The unpleasant incident of the last Conclave,' says the Philadelphia Catholic Standard, ' wherein an attempt was made on the part of one "of the-European powers to revive the invidious practice of the veto in regard to the election of a Pope, will never again be repeated. No Cardinal can attempt to set up a bar against any candidate or favorite of a Conclave, no matter on what pretext, under the penalty of the greater excommunication. This had been given out informally from Rome, but now it is put in positive form.'
