TAMMANY'S NEW LEADER.

Charles f. Murphy. the new leader
of Tammany Hall. has shown him
self to be possessed of the quality of
firmness. He made up his mind to
support Congressman Mcclellan for
the nominal ton for the head Of the
ticket in New York. and he did so
notwithstanding the threats of the
powerful Democratic organization in
BROOKLYN This firmness is not stub
bornness. for he is slow to make Il
decision and does so only upon the
fullest consideration. He is as reti.
cent as Croker and even more so. for
II" meyer allows reporters to cNaspel-
ate him into an outhurst of rage as
Croker occasionally did. He has car
ricd through his plans for the reorgan-
iMtion of Tammany firmly and with
out noise. When Devery threatened
to run as an Independent candidate for
mayor unless he We're allowed upon
the executive committee, Murphy was
advised by some of the district lead
ers to placate Devery. He listened to
their arguments and said. "Devery
may draw 1000 votes from lis If he
enters the field as an independent
candidate. If we take him into the
executive committee he will cost Tam
many Mt least 10000 votes. Devery
must go" He has gone out of his
way to win back to the organization
those Democrats Of standing and re-
spectability whom Croker in one way
or another alienated, and he has taken
great pains to keep in the background
those persons who in the last few
years have brought discredit upon the
organization. If he elects his ticket
this year he will be as firmly intrench'
ed in power as Croker ever was.

indianapolis went Democratic last
Tuesday, although Senators Fairbanks
and Beveridge urged the election of
the present mayor on partisan
grounds. 1t is customary for Repub-
lican leaders to advocate non-partisan
municipal elections in Democratic
cities and the reverse in Republican
cities. Senator Beveridge thought
indianapolis was Republican. consc-
quently he advanced suc! weighty
arguments to the voters, as the fol-
lowing:
MARROW the question and ask your
self whether Benjamin Harrison ever
voted against Republican city ticket
which an indianapolis Republican
convention had nominated? Did DIV
er P. Morton ever do it? Did Albert
G.. Porter ever do it? And is not the
lifetime practice of these great Re
publican leaders at least a safe prac,
tice for us humber members of their
party to follow now?"
Indianapolis used to go Democratic
quite regularly and with it often went
the state OF Indiana. In those days
men of the caliber of Voorhees, and
Turpie occupied the seat now held

The leader of Il new Gladstonian
Liberal party will certainly not be
Lord Rosebery, whose uncertain
though brilliant character has quite
failed to gain the confidence of his
former colleagues, says Harper's
Weekly. Nor will the mantle Of
Hawarden fall ON either Sir William
Harcourt or Sir Henry Campbell
Zimmerman, whose jealousies are
largely responsible for the long con-
tinued weakness of the Liberals. Mr..
Asquith and Mr.. Morley are both en-
inent men, yet it is not to be disputed
that the most authoritative and
eminent of the Liberals is Earl Spen-
GER, who for years has led the Liberal
party in the House of Lords. Lord
Spencer was lord lieutenant of Ireland
from 1868 to 1874, in Mr.. Gladstone's
first ministry, which disestablishel
the Irish Protestant church, and by
the distribution of certain, church
lands among the tenants struck the
keynote of Irish land purchase In the
second Gladstonian ministry. of 1880

tl,a Liberal policy. and conciliat ton
made way for repression and the
crimes act. Yet during these years
Lord Spencer was converted to home
rule: and he was an avOwed home
ruler in the third Gladstonian ministry
of 1856, which saw the memorable Sc
ccssion of the Liberal Unionists. with
the now divergent Chamberlain and
the Duke of Devonsllire at their head.
In this ministry Lord Spencer was
once more lord president of the coun-

time. Up to the day of Father Rior-

for the protection of the Irish immi-
| grant girls, and when he died lie was

especially around the Battery, where
he was very popular among The steam.
ship officers and sailors. Every day
three directors go down to the Barge
Office and gather up all the Irish
girls who have no friends to call for
them. They are all taken to the
home. Here they receive bath and
new clothes, and can stay at the home
until some person offers them employ
ment, or calls for them. Many Il time
immigrant girls bitterly remark that
they would never have left Ireland if
they had known what they had to go
through. The missions advice to all
the prospective emigrants is: "Remain
at home if you can at all. You may
consider your lot hard and laborious,
but the devil you know is less to be
dreaded than the devil you don't
know" At present there are more
than one hundred young immigrant
girls at the home. They remain there,
free of charge. until their friends are
found or employment obtained. or ar
engagements for journey by rail or
steamboat to their destination is eff
fected. All this is done without any
aid from the city, state or federal
governments. The mission has in the
past relied solely on the patriotic
spirit and public generosity of the
Irish race in this country.

Ex-senator John H. Reagan.

Ex-senator John H. Reagan, of
Texas, urges Texas to remain un.
divided and strong, because he be-
lieves the United States is destined
to become monarchy. He wants
Texas to be strong enough when that
time comes, so that she can become
an Independent republic. He thinks
the population of Texas will be more
than 30,OO0,0OO. In that he may in
deed be right, for Texas is larger than
any country in Europe, except Russia
Germany, which is only three-fourths
as large as Texas, has 56,OOO,OOO peo-
pie. If the remainder of the United
States should some day become Il
monarchy, Texas ought by all means
to strive for her independence, and
when that day comes we hope that
she will be strong and large enough
to set up in business for herself. But
that day is far away. so far that only
the future seekers after antiquities
will know anything about things now
in existence. Senator Reagan had a
dream of this kind about forty-fve
years ago, when he Joined the Con-
federate cause. He was then in his
first childhood being about forty
years of age. He is now eighty-fvc
years of age and in his second child

gresham, United States congressman.

In Memory of Father O'Growney.

In Memory of Father O'GroWney.
The marsllalcd ranks swing into line,
The drum dirge is sounding low,
But save it's song no sigh is heard.
No agonizing wall of woe.
But why this vast funeral train
OF gatherd hosts of eXiled Gael:
Loved Soggarth rests upon the bier
They bear him back to Innisfail!
Ye winds that from the westward
wing,
Pray tell me why this reverence?
You answer Erin loves her dead
And to her breast we bear him
hence!
Oh! place him there with kindred dust
Beneath green-robed shamrock
mound,
And let him sleep, love sanctifed
With Christ, in consecrated ground
He won no wreaths of passing fame,
In CORY field or plague-swept town:
His was nobler sacrifice,
And meet for him his martyrs
He faithful toiled for Erin's veal.
Her ancient language to restore,
And tho he died in foreign field
He'll lie within his native shore,
And posed not he as hero proud
OF plaudits of the populace:
Enshrined will be O'Growney's name
While live the glorious Gaelic race.
Above his bier on distant shore
Here brother clasp brothers hand,
Nor feud nor faction ought we know
But toll, like him, for motherland,
Let other nations to their dead
Build monuments of bronze or
stone;
But Erin with immortal fame
Within her heart enshrines her OWL.
The stone will crumble into dust
The bronze will rust into decay.
The glory of our sainted dead
Will never, never pass away.
AS glowing fire his name will be
In blazoned scroll among our dead.
And Erin for thy Soggarth Son
Exultant lift thy dropping head.
A Requiem chant! Your dear dead
priest
Will sleep upon your loving breast,
Beneath the Shamrocks and the dow.
In hallow'd grave there let him resi-.
