REPUBLICAN SENTIMENT.
What Some Of Our Exchanges Say on
the Present situation.

St. Louis Republicans can consoli-
dat, cooperate, divide, re-unite, or
eat one another up, as they prefer, for
all we care. We are tired oftheir con-
trarness and ugllness. The republi-
cans of the state are a unit, and cannot
be divided again, by St. Louis cussed-
ness. Put that in your pipes gentle
men, and smoke it.-B5006feld Ga
getts.
We are in receipt OF TIE letter from
CLANCY l. Filley to the editor OF the
Globe Democrat in which Filley de.
precates the present factional condition
of the Republican party in this State
and propose to unity it and indicates
his willingness to make overtures to
this end. But the G.. d. true to It's
past history and TO its rule or ruin
policy, disdainfuliy ignores the repre-
sentatives ftwo thirds of the Republi-
cans Of the State and proposes to keep
up the facuonal fght-in the interest Of
straight Republicanism OF course

of balance between the several mental

In the former case there was absolute

A Pertinent Question Which Priest
Asked.

Some years ago the world renowned
Sam Ward was in the city of New York
with friend whom he had known for
many years. They We're stopping at
the New York Hotel. The friend fell
sick. One night the doctor said he
must die; that he could do no more for
him. Ward sat up with his friend to
watch his life go out. At 4:30 O'Clock
in the morning his friend was very low
He said to Ward: viii YOU please
send for a priest?" Ward had never
heard that his friend was religious and
had not the remotest idea that he was
Roman Catholic. But of course he
asked no questions. He rushed out of
the hotel and around the corner where
a neighboring priests house was pointed
out to him. Entering he found the priest
dressed ready to attend early mass. He
said to him in a bland, suave, deferen-
tjal way: Father, there is friend of
mine lying at the point of death at the
New York Hotel, and in his extremity
he desires the presence of a Catholic
priest. Can YOU come with me and 90
to himp" The priest looked at him.
RTdfelS anu thtu SdIu. Is Ilt al lTlSH-
mani" Ward replied: No, he is an
American" ii will come with you at
once" said the priest, putting on his
hat and coat quickly and the two
walked out. Ward was very curious to
understand the reason of the question.
He kept turning it over in his mind as
they went along and finally Just before
they entered the hotel he said: Father,
if you do not regard it as an impertinent
curiosity would like to ask why you
wanted to know whether my friend was
an freshman or an American Sim
ply enough" said the priest, with a
shrug; IF he had been an lrishman l
should have taken my breakfast before
going with you, for an Irishman with
the bellyache is always at the point of
death and wants to see priest; but an
American never wants for one unless
he is really in the last extremity. Cor.

IL ever, or rather, whenever-for that
the day will soon come we entertain no
doubt-a ship crosses the Atlantic at an
average speed of twenty knots an hour.
it is probable that she will have cost
about half million pounds before she
sails for the first time from Liverpool or
from Milford Haven. ut is the pace
which kills, as all riders to foxhounds,
all drivers of railway express trains.
and all engineers of ocean and river
steamboats, know full well; nor can it
be denied that extraordinary and sus-
tanned speed in hunter, railway 10
connective, and a steam-vessel is attain
able only at heavy cost. Who that
has contemplated the magnificent ma
chinery with which such vessels as the
Oregon, the Alaska, the Arizona. the
SerVia, the City of Rome, and the Ger
manic are fitted, can have forgotten the
note of alarm sounded by Charles
Dickens in his well-known letter to his
biographer, John Foster, which was
written after the author OF The Pick
wick Papers had made his first trip
across the Atlantic in 1912? I'VE
mean, WHITES DlckcilS 10 HIS ITlenu,
ito return home in a packet ship-not
in steamer. When | tell you all that
| observed on board the Britannia |
shall astonish you. Meanwhile, CON
slider two of her dangers. First, that if
the funnel were blown overheard, the
vessel must instantly be ON fire from stem
to stern; to comprehend which you must
recollect that the funnel is more than
forty feet high, and that at night you
see the solid fire two or three feet above
its top. Secondly, each of these boats
consumes between London and Halifax
seven hundred tons of coal, and it is
pretty clear from this enormous differ
ence of weight in a ship of only twelve
| hundred tons burden that she must be
| either too heavy when she comes out of
port or too light when she goes in" 1t
is satisfactory to reflect that during the
two and forty years which have inter
vened since these words were written
| there has been no instance in which a
funnel has been blown overheard upon
the Atlantic, or anywhere else, and that
thousands upon thousands of trips hav
been made by steamers with such Sc
curity to passengers that, writing on
| board Cunarder, Mark Twain once
remarked that he felt rather safer at
sea than he did ordinarily upon land
