The work on the colossal figures and
groups required for the St. Louis
worlds fair has made excellent pro-
gress. Most of the well kenown sculp-
tors have been busy in their studios
composing and designing and giving
shape to the subjects and ideas which
were given them by the chief of the de-
partment of sculpture, Karl Bitter. The
resulting models show a marked ad-
vance over similar work on previous
occasions and are pronounced by ex-
perts not only satisfactory, but most
promising with reference to their effect
upon the future development of the art
Of sculpture in this country.
Special credit is to be given to the
younger generation Of artists, to such
sculptors as have been working as as
sistants in the larger studios and have
received their education chiefly in the
art schools of this country. 1t is per-
haps a matter of course that the work
of men of national reputation should
be OF most creditable character. An
example OF such work is the equest-
rian statue of De Soto. the Spanish
discoverer of the Mississippi which is

Another is from the hands of Chas.

trian statue of Louis TX. known as St.

bears. 1t is an example of powerful
historical portraiture. Horse and rider
are represented in armor and in the
most dignified and heroic attitude.

Judge Parker is the most available
candidate yet mentioned. His posi-
ton on the bench has kept him out
of the iactional fights OF the last eight
years. He has proven himself strong
before the people OF his own state
without the vote OF which no Democrat
can be elected. His decisions on ques-
tons affecting capital and labor have
been eminently fair and satisfactory
His nomination would leave both OF
the contending factions without any
real objection. II we understand the
spirit OF the Democratic masses Alright
we believe they are determined upon
getting together and fighting real
battle against the party in power. This
can be done with Parker, of New
York, leading the ticket.

made manifest few days ago in Bel
fast, where body calling itself the
ulster Liberal nionist Association"
held meeting, at which resolutions
were adopted similar in tone and terms
to those passed at the English meet
ing,-with the further addendum that
the maintenance of the Liberal Union
list organization in power was the only
guarantee they (the ''Ulsterites") had
for the safety of their rights and privi-
leges; and that the party must be kept
intact, with all its original aims TN
changed, at whatever cost. There is in
this declaration an unmistakable ring
of the old "Ascendency" war-cry, that
indicates the true affinity of those
northern allies of the English Tories.
just now they call themselves Liberal
Unionists; as the weather grows warm
er, few months hence, we shall find
them parading and demonstrating as
"The Loyal Orange Institute" But,
under whatever banner they may ap-
pear, their spirit and intent will always
be hostile to ireland and Irish national
interests; and it was in that sense that
Chamberlain made his desperate ap-
peal to their bigotted anti-Irish preju-
dices. That he found it necessary to
do so, however, is hopeful indication
that the vicious combination is on its
last legs.

tell her I die for my country. I wish
I had two lives to give. Let the Union
flag be wrapped about me and fold
of it laid around my head I feel
proud that God gave me such man to
be my countryman and townsman. I
have very little respect for the Ameri-
can that is not stirred by such story.

the departing soul had received COM
fort from the lips of Thomas Conaty

Here is Senator Hoar's parting sa-
lutte to the apostle of the American
Protective association: ''The American
Spirit, the Spirit of the Age, the Spirit
of Liberty, the Spirit of Equality, es-
pecially what Roger Williams called
Soul Liberty is able to maintain her
self in fair field and in free contest
against all corners. Do not compel her
to breathe the damp, malarial at
mosphere of dark places. The at
mosphere of the republic is the air
of the mountain top and the sunlight
and the open field. Her emblem is the
eagle and not the bat"
Writing to Mr.. T. c. Evans, who
had taken up the cudgels of the Ameri-
can Protective association, Mr.. Hoar
had this to say concerning the methods
of maintaining the principles of civil
and religious liberty: "If you think
they are best accomplished by secret
societies, by hiding from the face of
day, by men who will not acknowledge
what they are doing, and by refusing
public employment to men and women
who think on those subjects exactly
as we do, but whose religious faith diff
fers from OURS, then don't agree with
YOU"

The best that the common people
can hope for in connection with the
spectacular Far Eastern war now on
is that this country will not be drawn
into the trouble by any feats of "high
diplomacy on the part of Washington,
says the San Francisco Monitor. The
taste Of world power politics which our
state department has had during the
last few years has evidently whetted
its desire for further mixing in in
the international game of intrigue. The
present temptation to take hand in
directing the future movements of af-
fairs in the Orient may prove too much
for some Of our diplomatists flushed
with recent achievements in that line.
1t is a great deal easier to break into
the international game than it is to
Withdraw from it when once in. 1t is
not Just the most appropriate form of
activity for government constituted
as ours is. Nor. at best, are the prizes
at stake worth what we stand every
chance of losing if successful.

LONG STRUGGLE,

The war correspondents and other
wiseacres, who have been predicting a
short and decisive war in the East are
bound to be disappointed Everything
points to a long war Russia is pre-
pairing now for the war AMI doing SO
without haste but with full delibcration.
That she was unpreparcl for war is
cvi 'cut. Russia thought war could be
avertcd Tor considerable time. The
war was started with Russia in nor
mai peace condition. Japan, on the
other han. l,al everything in condi-
ton before she struck the first blow.
The initial successes of the Japanese
are not to be seriously considered as
indications oi the FINAL result OF the
war. Russia will play {, waiting game.
She may fall back to Hardin, several
hundred miles from either OF her Paci-
ic sea ports. Giant that she is, she
will not be forced to strike until ready.
With the deliberate patience character
istic OF powerful person she will
ward off any serious blows attempted
to be administered to her Troops
must be transported 5000 miles over
railroad. Time is needed in order
to bring up her Baltic fleet. II Port
Arthur cannot be held, RUSSIA will take
up her line OF defense further inland
and hold it until her forces can be
concentrated. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible to figure out any way in, which
Japan can strike a telling blow against
Russia. In fact the more foothold
Japan attains in Corca and Manchuria
the more danger she assumes. The
world has not forgotten how the Great
Napoleon was lured to his destruction
in European Russia, how the Russians
fell back and back before the advance
of his magnificent army and thus il
went further and further into the heart
OF the empire, only to destroy the city
of Moscow by fire and leave the most
magnificent army Europe ever saw
stranded in the midst of northern
winter. No one should be deceived by
the hasty opinions of enthusiastic par
tisans.i Russia is slow to move, and i:

Protestant ministers arc beginning
to get on record on the side OF Japan.
OF course, heather Japan is preferable
to Christian Russia. Russia is not a
very fertile soil for Professionalism
Protestant ministers who hate every
thing Catholic, can easily prefer, hca-
thenisnl to the Greek Church which so
nearly resembles the Roman Catholic
in belief and ceremony. The Russians
have separated from the Catholic
Church mainly on the question OF papal
supremacy. Catholics will understand
why Protestant ministers fear that
Russian success involves Christian
civilization. They prefer the heather
fatalism of Japan to the orthodox
Christianity OF Russia. 1t is we'll to
keep this feature OF the case in mind
while accounting for the sudden and
unfounded sympathy of your Protest
ant neighbors. 1t must be remember
ed also that there are many millions
of Roman Catholics who are subjects

Our imperialist friends will hardly
be able to appreciate the fine irony and
ridicule contained in the following
clipping from the New York Post: We
cannot find words properly to charac-
terize the ingratitude of the Porto
Ricans. Not content with having a
delegate in Congress of equal powers
with the Representatives of New Mex
leo and our other territories, and with
having the right to enter and leave the
United States freely, these miserable
"dagoes" and "half-breeds" actually
demand statehood or freedom. Such
impudence is really unheard OF. Did
we not free them from the harshest
kind OF tyranny? Have we not given
them many new schools, up-to-date mu-
nicipal charters, electric railways, a
Porto Rican regiment and numerous
other favors? Within a week or two
our courts have even held them to be
citizens of the United States, and yet,
OH Saturday, by vote OF 90 to IS the
Federal Assembly demanded sef-gov-
eminent as separate country, or the
right to enter the Union. This is
Americanization with vigor, and with
entirely too much Yankee hustle" Is
it possible that the Porto Ricans have
not been reading the Tribune's editor
ials? If they had but garnered that
wisdom, they would have known how
hopeless it is for them to demand
either statehood or independence. The
former might debase our nation; for
the latter they are, oil course, totally
unfit. Under the circumstances, they
must be content to remain colonial
subjects forever and day Had they
but a spark Of gratitude they would
thank God for this privilege and put
away their idle dreams OF liberty, of
the right to control their destinies, or
event TO say for themselves when and
how they shall be taxed.

College professors, like preachers,
sometimes find it necessary to do and
say absurd things in order to attract
attention. In the sharp competition
Of the present day it takes real worth
and ability to win merited distinction.
The man who lacks real ability resorts
to sensationalism. Professor Triggs
of the University of Chicago is a case
in point He has attracted attention
by expressing opinions so shallow and
ridiculous that they brought him into
contempt. The University of Mime

hardly call him home to confer an

fessors should have some common

i. In one of our recent issues we had
occasion to note how the present
Chamberlain organization in England,
which styles itself the LIBERAL nionist
party. at a specially-called meeting,
had seriously debated whether the
time had not come when they could
properly disband,-and how they were
only rallied and diverted from that
purpose by Chamberlain, who signi-
ficantly reminded them that the Irish
people were still in the field, and that
the home rale issue was not dead, says
the Irish-American. The true meaning
and intent of that Tory war-note was
