was most intimately identified as the asso-
ciate OF John Hughes, the bold and ag-
gresslv5 apostle who sternly and fearlessly
encountered the storms of the Know
nothing period, and lived to rejoice in the
triuuph of liberty and freedom over bigotry
and brutalism. This wss glory in itself
But Cardinal MeCoskey, surviving his
"chief pastor"-she St. Paul of the Ameri-
can Catholic Church-lived to reach the
highest Aonors tbs papacy can confer. and
to witness the rapid extension of his
church to the farthest confines of the
Union. From the seed he sowed the plant
grew to full fruition, sffordipg shelter for
millions. This was his reward, and one
that his i-iends aim was more
highly priced by h'l than the title
which msd5 him the most dis.
'tinguished churchmal on this con.
tinent- Full OF years aud honors, he has
passed away, tie object Of an affection
that had its roots in Knowledge of his
high deservings and lis worth as a citizen

THE conduct of the car strikers in st.
Louis cannot be justified or excused, even
by the admittedly tyrsnnous exactions Of
the street-car companies. The drivers and
conductors when they struck exercised a
prerogative that is theirs unquestionably,
but it is equally the right of other men to
go to work for the wages they have refused,
if they are so minded. This is free
country. That must never be lost sight

The canvass in New York has developed
the fact that Ira Davenport, sr., was ped
der originally, who got good start toward
fortune by marrying the Widow Hor-
nell, whose husband founded Hornells-
vile. Then he invested literally in West
ern lands and founded Davenport, la.
Most of the wealth of the family is no n in
the West, and it is said to mount into the
millions. The present Ira is said to be an
aristocratic man, who does not know more
than 100 of his fellow-townsmen to speak
to them. That is nothing against him,
being more matter Of temperament than
of principle or practice. It is net charged
that he ever wronged any man, though it
is claimed that he is Indifferent to the peo-
