the CiIy or BRUSSELS.

The opportnc meeting of the City of Brus-
sells with one of her sister ships has lifted a
great load from the minds of the whole people.
I'm vain the press echoed the protestations OF
the agents of the steamer that there was no
cause for alarm, that the breaking OF shaft
was one of the common accidents of the sea,
and that every few months some one OF on
great transatlantic passenger vessels was al
most certain TO be detained weeks beyond
her time by the arrangement of the deli
cate machinery upon which her move
mcnts principally depend. in vain the
friends of the missing passengers recalled
the numerous instances Of such mlshapS, IN
yOlying no worse consequences than an annoy
ing delay. In vain they remembered that none
of the incoming steamers reported storms, and
that it was too early in the year to lear Ice
bergs. In spite of all the good reasons to feel
at ease, it is impossible to deny that the public
had become deeply anxious; while the friends
aud relatives of the missing voyagers had begun
TO Weld to the most poignant anguish. The
good news flashed through the country on the
arrival of the City of Richmond yesterday
morning entered like the sunshine OF happiness
into many a mourning home. Ii Will be many
DAYS vet before the disabled steamer can reach
her destination, but apprehensions for her
safety may now be dismissed. She Is much
better rugged than the average steamship, and
has already proved herself an excellent sailer.
The course of her commander, however, in
continuing the voyage under canvas, when the
accident happened only day and half after
leaving Sandy Hook, will occasion some sur
prise. The vessel was disabled 400 miles
from New-Yorll and 2,i00 miles from Queens
town, that is, somewhere near the longitude
of Halifax. If she had been put about, instead
of keeping on her tedious course, many fami-
lies would have been spared week OF SUI
feriug, the owners of the pcrshable part OF
the cargo would have saved a valuable ship
ment, and the pilgrims might have got to
Rome in time for the celebration in which
they sailed to take part. The Inman line,
however, has the reputation Of being well
managed, aud tscaptains know their business.
Il is only fair, therefore, to presume that there
were good reasons for going on, which we
shall know in due time The passengers, at
any rate, appear to De satisfied.

4 False PROPHET.


Mr.. George c. Gorham of California,
Secretary of the United States Senate, disap-
proves of fhe Presidents policy. He thinks
the Presidents oath Of Office bound HIM to sup
nress the Nichols " instruction " III louisiana
and he is profoundly srieycd that he did not
do it. Mr.. Gorham hopes the Republican party
of California will not express any approval
of either the Presidents acts or nten-
lions. and remarks that he shall not
consent to anything OF the kind. II, IN the
face of his objection, they do approve, he
predicts the defeat of the party in the State
so much for Mr.. Gorham and his views. 10
understand how important his disaDprobaton
X. and how accurately he represents the actual
Republican sentiment Of California, it Is only
necessary to examine briefly his political
career i'm that State. His first important
appearance in political life was as the Rcpub-
lean candidate for Governor in 1867. Ills
popularity in his party was strillngly shown
by the vote. The Republican majority of
about 10000 which his predecessor received
disappeared entirely, and the Democratic can
didate was elected by over 5000 majority.
This was so unusual a triumph that he re-
tired temporarily from the State and became
Secretary of the Senate. He opposed the nominal
ton of Newton Booth for Governor, and sub
sequently for Senator, and his opposition has
always been counted one of the elements
of Mr., Booths success in both instances. In
1919 Nh Gorham, aided by Senator Sargent,
succeeded in controlling the Republican State
Convention and in nominating a simply
gr0tcSque candidate for Governor. Another
brilliant success followed. The Republican
majority vanished again and Democratic
majority OF 10000 took its place. Whenever
he takes hand in the leadership, the party
is certain OF defeat Whenever he keeps III
the background, success is easy and assured.
Therefore, when this hero of defeats predicts
that the approval of the Presidents policy will
cost the party the State it is the best sort of
evidence that the way to victory lies in ig
nOling his advice.
Ii does not need this array of evidence to
prove that California Republicans support 50
magnanmouS and generous Il policy as that
which Nh Hayes is SO successfully carrying
out. II is n State in which party ties sit
loosely. and in which the leadership Of a man
with pure convictions and rcsOluta purpose in
their execution is hailed with enthusiasm. Ii
was inst this latter trait which enabled Sena-
tor Booth TO split both old parties, and, taking
the better elements from each build mp his
own party. Mr.. Hayes is the same type Of
man, and is following ont the same line OF
craftsmanship. That Califomans OF all parties
will support him heartily is the most natural
course 10 expect that they should do it after
Mr. Gorham predicts they will not is iney-
liable
