Worked One Day and swore OF.

A tall, thin tramp came down Monroe avenue
last evening. He walked slowly and about
every block, says the Rochester Democrat, he
stopped and rubbed his back.
rs walked along until he reached the corner
OF William street. and then he sat down on the
curb aud buried his face in his hands. He sat
there without looking up or moving for an
hour or two, until q tender-hearted man who
lived across the road. and who thought he was
sick. came over and touched him on the
shoulders: go way" growled the tramp, AZ

He Won on a Bunch.

A frequenter of the Garfield races, says the
Chicago Tribune, relates the following, which
he declares is true and says the man in the
story lives in business way on Clark street.
He went out to the races with party Of gentle
men, all OF whom were strangers By the
time they arrived it was the opinion of all
that Royal Flush was the horse to bet
on that day. The odds were largely in his
favor. By the time the betting began
the man from Clark street changed his mind.
For that he got the laugh from the others
After the race was won he met one of the party
with whom he had gone out and said in disaD-
pointed tone well, l guess am a chump. 1t

and said he was off for town, and that he was

Middle of the Pacific Missionaries


Statesmen rarely hurry. Diplomatic
methods are very slow. But they have
rarely been more tedious than in the mat
ter Of the complaints of the American mis-
sionaries that they have been ill-treeted by
the Spanish government authorities at the
town Of Ponape in the Caroline Islands.
Complaints from there were first made to
the state department from Boston more
than year ago according to the Washing
ton correspondent of a Chicago paper.
Earnest requests have been prsfered to the
government that demand shall be made
that Spain shall cease to permit the out
RACES said to have been perpetrated upon
American missionaries. Inquiries which
have frequently been made at the state de-
partment during the past year for informa-
tion have invariably been met by the reply
that the communication with the islands
is exclusively maintained by mission boat,
that makes the tour Of certain islands in the
Pacific, touching at each one of them once
in year.
When last touched upon in the diplo matte
correspondence that has been published, the
trouble seemed to be one between tae Cath
Ole authorities opposed to Protestant mis-
sions, aud the missionaries supported By
natives, who were more friendly to the
Protestant missionaries than to those of the
Catholic church.
When he was Secretary of State Mr..
Bayard had the matter under considera-
ton. But owing to inadequate communi-
cation he found it difficult to make prog
resi-. AS the report is not denied that the
President has sent demand to Spain for
immediate attention TO the matter, It is as
sumed that the missionaries have been
heard from and that the annoyances to
which they had been subjected were still
continued. Among the Washington off,
Gals it is believed that the President has
made formal demand upon Spain in this
matter.
This doesn't seem to be coming anywhere
near following the scriptursl injunction
which tells us that the brethren should
dwell together in unity of spirit and the
| bonds Of peace"
Apparently the Christian missionaries
have now as they have always had more
reason to apprehend persecution from their
civilized brethren than from the savages
whom they 90 out to enlighten and to teach
their own doctrines of amity and benevo-
lence one to another. But they do not seem
to 60 SO far as to formulate any very def
mite views upon the very interesting subject
of tolerance and lberality of thought.
Therefore It will be seen that Christian
civilization in its very highest state of de-
velopment has some defects from which the
most utterly thoughtless barbarian is free
After the manner Of the politicians these
aggressively unfriendly elements of our
pious brethren should ''get together"-not
with belligerent intent. but amicably.

Prelates strn Con lemn Parnen.

I
In the latest number of the Dublin Cath
! Ollie appears long article accredited to
| Archbishop Walsh, N which the chief pre-
| late of the Catholic church in Ireland is
alleged to have literally followed Leader
PARCEL into the grave with an attack of
the most acrimonious violence of ecclesias :
tical denunciaulan.
According to the cabled report the article
says among other things that "Mr. Parnelrs
death is one of those events which remind
the world of GOD. So far as known Mr..
Parnell died unrepentant Of the offense
against his God and his country. He died
plotting fresh discord. while the champion
or tie tool Of faction, STEPPED in traitorism
to the very lips. By the grave now open,
charity can scarcely find a place. Such
tears rs are shed must be for the memory of
what he had once been"
Continuing the article declares that "the
name Of Parnell and the story Of Ireland's
destinies are forever linked. . The record of
his services must always live. The pity Is
that it must be read through the tangled
veil woven in bis later days of pride, sinful
ness and falsity. ParneIism is dead. 1t is
impossible to say how far Parnells name
may still be used as rallying cry for
treachery. The weeds which grow on the
grave of a dead cause are noxious and rank.
But there is no cause to fear that those
which spring from the tomb of Par
nellism will be able to thwart the
freedom of Ireland. Her feet are
strong enough to tread down the
unholy growth. To Catholics the close
of Mr.. Parnelps career is one of terrible
significance. Death has come in the home
Of sin, his last glimpse of the world unhal-
lowed by the consultations Of religion, his
last memory linked forever with hers whose
presence seems to forbid the thought of re-
pentance. He has passed into eternity
without a sign of sorrow for the insult
offered to morality, for his offense against
the law resting at the base OF society, for
his revolt against his native land and
against the anointed prelates aud ministers
Of Gods church"
Ignoring the said "prelates and minis
tiers" WAS probably in the opinion of those
gentlemen "the head and front Of his offend
ing" Apparently they could not forgive
his refusal to meekly recognize the power
and especially the authority of the church.
But they seem to have manifested toward
MIN degree of unrelenting luminosity that
he could scarcely have surpassed in the most
malignant mood of his most profoundly
implous condition.
Resentment is a very humane frailty and
exceedingly difficult to repress under some
circumstances. Nevertheless when we leave
wholly out Of account all other worthy aud
germane considerations it still appears only
the part of ordinary politeness and in con-
sonance with the accepted theories of fair
play that the prelates OF Ireland should have
fully given vent to their feelings and opin-
Ions while the subject Of their somewhat
acerb antipathy yet remained alive.

According to the estimate of the receiver
that recently collapsed Illinois bank at
Chrisman is the worst wrecked financial
institution in the country to-day. Close
calculations render doubtful the possibility
that the remaining assets will pay the de-
positors as much as 5 per cent. Such a
prospect will not tend to strengthen
financial confidence.
