Trenton, Mo-, will now run through to
Atchison and Leavenworth, making this
the shortest, quickest and best route to any
point in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, and
the far west. No other line runs through
coaches to any Missouri river point; palace

palace dining and restaurant cars, for
eating purposes only ARE run Oh all through

other line pretends to offer TO the travelling
public the accommodations afforded by
this line. Since the commencement of this
arrangement the through coaches have
been filed every night, which shows that
this is popular route.

uncalled Criticism.

Referring to the fact that the city coun-
Gil had voted months salary to the family
of the late police officer. Rosenfeld. for
their immediate wants. the Union INDUCES
in the following uncalled and unnecessary
remarks:
We are now informed, on what we con-
slider high authority, that out of this money
the widow was required to pay the priest
$40 for celebrating the service performed
over his remains and $3.50 forcandles, etc.
THE ARGUS defends no form of religious
service, but believes one is about as good
as another, none Of them being of any par
ticular benefit to the dead. But that there
is as much, if not more, satisfaction to the
devout Catholics toihave their particular
service performed over their dead, than to
the believers in any other religious rites In
having their forms observed, there can be
no question. Doubtless the ceremonies to
which the Union sneeringly alludes is
more than meat, drink and raiment to the
grief stricken widow. So long as it makes
her great sorrow lighter and easier to bear,
SO long as it brings peace and consolation
to stricken heart, so that she can find
comfort in these services, be they right or
wrong, useless or not. small must be the
spirit that will begrudge her the satisfac
ton. The allusion to this matter is cruei
and uncaIed. If Catholics believe thai
these services are eficacious according to
the price paid; if this be their teaching
and belief, it is no business of others who
do not believe as they believe, and why
should they invade the sacred precincts
of stricken family to tear down theil
cherished idols, or remind them of their
poverty and dependence.
