Our Little stsisr Republic.
TSt Jouis ReDnblicau


Venezuela is one OF our sister republics
which has had great deal of shaking up by
earthquakes and political revolutions, but
still needs little more of the latter. The
government of Gen. Crespo is making whole
sale arrests of political opponents without
even the formality Of preferring tangible
charges. The most prominent men Of the
opposition are seized and imprisoned in
patches of fifteen or twenty, and their only
safety lies in open resistance to the con5tabu-
larry. The extraordinary condition of affairs
is perhaps best illustrated by the statement
that numerous ladies have been imprisoned
for the purpose of extorting from them poll
teal secrets with which they are supposed to
have been intrusted. There have been cases
elsewhere in which it was held to be neces-
sary to lock up women to keep them from
telling what they knew. but this is way of
making woman talk which has = peculiarly
Spanish-American flavor. It is gratifying to
be informed that the Venezuela women have
thus far proved themselves able 10 keep
secrets in spite of the cruel treatment accord
Ell them. A plague of locusts has fallen
upon the most fertile provinces and famine
is added to the terrors of misrule..

Cor. Clepeland at Buffalo
[Buaalo Special, Oct. Z. ]

:
One curious feature of the campaign in
Buffalo is the strong feeling that animates
social circles. The better element feels a
personal interest in the man who made such
a splendid record as Mayor and Governor,
and social small talk has almost disappeared
before the advocacy of CIeyeland's claims to
the Presidency. Delaware avenue, the Fifth
avenue of Buffalo, in other years almost
solidly Republican, he's swing around and
brought its social force over to the side Of
the Governor. The east side, the home of
the labOring man, is this year more thorough
~ Democratic than ever, and the strange
spectacle is presented OF the two extremes
meeting and shouting for the same man.
This eommingliDg of all elements was es-
peeially noticeable at the Govern or's informal
reception at the Genesee. Every walk in life
was represented and every man felt that be
personally had right to a share of the Gov
ernOrs attention. Senator Warner Miller,
who came with his wife, received no more
attention than did the blue-shirted mechanic
and his wife or any Of tie many ladies who
came in unaccompanied.
BISHOP RAMS VISIT.
When the Right Rev. Bishop RYAN, who
presides over this diocese, called, be
was at once recognized as the head OF the
Catholic Church here and those about the
Governor instinctively fell back, feeling that
the distin guished church dignitary meant
more than an ordinary call upon His ExcelI-
ency. But it was not so. He remained for
some time in earnest conversation with the
governor aud in few minutes was joined
by Rev. Father Cronin OF the Cdlitolie Ujtiou
ana TINES 2 clergyman almost as well known
as theBishoD himself Both revercned gen
tlemeu assured the Governor OF their hearty
Endorsement Of his administration and reit-
Grated the statement made before that they
felt sure be had not used his influence to az
feet the disposition Of the Freedom Of Wor-
ship bill. Il was only when the gath ering
crowd evinee little gOod-natured jealous
i'm patience of the way their friend was being
monopoIized that the Bishop Withdrew, after
cordial congratu lations and warm grasp OF
the hand.

DOWN TO DEATH.
A Passenger Train Tumbles Through
a Bridge---List of Killed and
Wounded.


BATAVIA, o., Oct. 17-At p. IN. the
middle span of the bridge across East river
on the Cincinnati Eastern NArraw Guage
railroad, gave way as the Manchester express
was passing over it, The bridge is fifty
feet above the water. The engine,
baggage car and the first coach
were hurled TO the water beneath, while the
rear car remained on the sound portion of
the bridge. Forty-fve persons were on the
train at the time, and many made a miracu-
lous escape, several leaping to the stream
below. The following is list of those in
jured:
Killed-Engineer Ed WILDER, of SARDINIA.
Fireman Henry Jones, of Manchester.
Wounded-Samuel Carr, skull fractured,
will die.
Dave Hicks, badly scalded and leg broken,
cannot recover.
Ben Moore, bruised about head and shout
ders.
Thomas Taylor, nose broken, bruised on
head and shoulders.
John Mast, brakeman, leg sprained.
Mary Swallun, shoulders bruised
James Mccoy, badly cut about the bead.
Conductor Charles Durham, slightly in
jured.
A number of others received trifling
bruises. The engineer and fireman both
were killed instantly. They leave families
The bridge was being repaired but was con-
sdered safe. Several heavily loaded freight
trains had passed over it a short time before
the accident.
There were twenty-five passengers aboard,
nearly all in the rear coach. Had the coach
followed the first section the loss of life
would have been appalling. Most of the in
jured were section hands.

Unfairncss Of sthe Aaen"','' u Press.
st. Louis Rep blic u.

The Western Associat, u Press would seem
to be trying to utterly discredit itself as a
news-gathering agency and transmitter OF
intelligence. Its recent sins of omission
and commission have been the most ia
grant in its history. The great Democratic
meetings iw New York City on Thursday af-
teruoon and at night, the equals of which
have never occurred before in the metropo-
lis, were not even noticed by the associated
Press. The letters of Mr.. Beecher in an
swer to Mr.. Alger Of Michigan were not dig
nified VITA line. The strong and dispAs-
sionate communication of Horatio Seymour
oU the issues of the day was ignored.
There have not occurred three events in
this cam agn more important as matters OF
news. There was not semblsnce of decent
excuse for the agents of the associated Press
to omit them from their reports. On the
other hand every movement and utterance
of Mr.. Blaine and Gen. Logan are chronicled
to the smallest particular. The letter OF
Alger arraigning Mr.. Beecher was pnt on ev-
cry wire.
This sort of service is simply dishonest
1t deserves the sort OF rebuke which fraud
and dishonesty first or last generally receive
The faults here alluded to are not excusable
They call for decided action on the part o.
those who are most concerned, and who We
venture to believe will not always remain
passive under such provocation.

EGYPT.

DoNGoLA., Oct IA special messenge
has returned from Wady Garna. He reports
the inhabitants declare the steamer which
ran aground some days ago had quantity
of money aboard which belonged to the great
consul. There were forty Europeans and
Greeks on the steamer The steamer was
armed, and carried the booty which had been
captured in fights with the rebels She
had also on board the heads of
the rebels killed at Khartoum.
When the steamer ran aground at Salmal
the inhabitants were terrified. The messen-
ger reports the story of treachery and mas
sacre to which the people on
the steamer were subjected, but says no
whites We're among the passengers.
WADYHALFA, Oct 17.-The steamer Feruz,
with forty row boats on board, has arrived at
Dongola. 0sman Narredn, and inhabitant
Of Kortc, has arrived here from ChartOwn,
having been fourteen days on the way. He
was present at KhartUum during the, whole
of the siege. He saw Gordon capture a
quantity Of guns and rifles of the rebels, and
says the road from Khartoum to SENIOR is
free of rebels. Gordon's steamers, after
bombarding Berber and Djlien, returned to
Khartoum Kashmeil Pasho has undertaken
to occupy Khartoum with force. Gordon
is getting in readiness when
Norideen left. Before starting he sum-
moned the tribesmen and villagers to accom-

rather remain loyal to the khedive.

Two Railway Decisions.
Especial Telegram TO the Globe.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Geo. VI. Bogue, arbi-
traitor of the Northwestern traffic association.
to whom was referred the question Of 'min-
ing in transit and the Omaha Washburn
line, has rendered his decisions. About six
months ago the st. Paul road was charged
with Withholding traffic, which should
be turned into the pool as
competitive. The practice was to
ship wheat from Minneapolis to some
station atfull tariff rate to Chicago at the
stopping place allow the original shipper to
convert the wheat into flour, and then carry
the flour into Chicago free Of charge From
the fact that the wheat was consigned to a
local station the St. Paul people claimed it to
be local business, and refused to report it to
the commissioner. Mr.. Bogue has now de-
cided that the business in question was com
petitive and should be pooled.
The other question in dispute was the
claim OF the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis
6 Omaha for a share of the pooled eastbound
live stock traffic on account of its line from
Minneapolis to Washburn, where connection
was made with Lake Superior steamers. Mr..
Bogue decided that Washburn was not en-
tilted to share of the business claimed.
What effect these decisions may have has not
been developed Whether lines whose claims
were not recognized win consider their griev-
ances sufficient to warrant extreme measures
remains to be seen. It is not believed, how
ever, that any serious consequences will
ensue.

Rosecra,.s,s Position.

Gen. Rosecrans, member of congress from
San Francisco, writes to The Boston Pilot un-
der date of Washington, Oct. 3, in which he
says:
After diligent inquiry and attentive con-
sideration | am assured:
1. That Grover Cleveland is broad
minded, sound, liberal, honest. American.
as ready to defend the rights of Roman
Catholics as those of any other religion, and
with as generous and friendly feeling toward
any others, and all the statements that he is

terly and wickedly calumnious.
B.. That he is a manly, honest, 1aborious.
conscientious citizen-a very able, indepen-
dent, and intelligent chief executive of his
great state, whose election to the presidency
would guarantee numerous and effective re-
forms in the administration, counteracting
existing corruption, abuses, and evil tenden-
cies, which threaten the well-being of our
country.
8. l am satisfied that long since cunning
ly Initiated, and now going on, is vigorous
aud energetic campaign of INSCRIPTIONS and
secret calumny against Cleveland, with a
view of influencing Catholic voters, and that
the same power has been trying to make
bHciu OciltN0 IneG Dtdlne, ID HedrJ ana soul,
is Catholic-or very nearly so. To impress
these convictions upon a few sdiug
Catholics whose sincerity woulc ave them
weight has doubtless required on one side a
confiding simplicity, and on the other a
duplicity OF talk and action worthy of Richard
III, but, with the presidential seat in view,
we have reason to know Blaine has been
equal to the emergency.
4 Catholics know that the Democratic
party has always been the unfinching and
unfailing friend of religious iberty-all
they ever ask or expect from government
and that when know nothings now promin-
ent in the Republican ranks, Blaine amongst
them, in 1856 proposed to make an end OF
that liberty, so far as concerned Catholics
the national Democracy overthrow them and
it is to be hoped forever buried their pro
scriptive party.
The unquestionable fidelity of the Demo-
| cratic party to the principles of religious
freedom to all, consecrated in the federal
| aud in every state constitution by theSform-
al prohibition of legislation on spiritual mat
tiers, is guaranty to Catholics overpassing
all the professions which the Republican par
ty and its adherents could make in thous-
and years.
Mr.. Blaine's personal history offers no
better or more liberal guarantees than that
of his party that our rights would be secure
under his administration. His know-noth-
ingism in 1855, professions of ''the greatest
contempt for the pope,'' ''Madigan circular''
| and contradictory professions of regard ''for
the religion of his mother,'' shows him un
trustworthy.

Go into the chemical laboratory of your

founder we are here to-day-and touch the
two poles of a galvanic battery. What is ii
that thrills through your bodies, and perhaps
even burns the skin of your fingers; or even
if the current be strong enough, strikes you
dead ON the instant. Galvanism. What is
galvanism A force. Yes, and so is light q
force, and heat, and gravitatiou. But when
| am told this | am just as far from knowing
what any one of the forces is as Twas before.
All that you could do. if persisted in ask
ing for fuller explanation, would be to tell
me something of the origin and properties
of the force in question, and in this way
should obtain some idea its characteristics,
and should be in no danger of installing it
for any other force. That is what your pro-
fessor of physics does for you, and, if you
have only profited by the instruction you have
received, you will have store of facts at
your command that will enable you to re-
cognize heat, light, electricity, gravitation,
magnetism, whenever you see them mani
tested. When, therefore, you ask me what
mind is, / answer that it is a force possessing
peculiar properties and developed bya sub
stance constituting part OF the nervous or
ganism of man and other animals, and
known 10 anatomists and psychologists as
gray nerve-tissue. This is similar in all es-
sential respects, so far as its terms are con-
cerned, to the definition that you would give
me of any other force. OF course it can be
made more precise and extensive, but no
enlargement would change its character.
