Sudden fame has some disadvan-
tages. Judge Parker is discovering
Door relations. A few days ago 1t was
reported that the judges brother had,
in an interview with a New York re-
porter, taken the Democratic candi-
date sternly to task for certain mat
tiers in connection with his conduct,
declaring that he (the brother) could
not conscientiously vote for such a
man. 1t appears now that Judge Par
ker has no such brother as the man
who was interviewed, and doesn't in
tend to have one If he can help it, says
the Northwestern Chronicle. At Der
by, Conn, the other day, handsome
stranger, who confessed that he was
Judge Parker's nephew, succeeded in
having worthless check cashed by a
hotel clerk, and at this moment, no
doubt, there are forty or fifty other

At the opening of the Cork borough
sessions the recorder was presented
with white gloves. Addressing those
present, he said:
Sessions. after sessions it ha been
my great and sincere pleasure to an
nounce to the gentlemen who &ttend
as grand jurors that there is nothing
for them to do. I almost take the
liberty of calling myself Cork man,
so proud am I Of the community in
which I live"
What a contrast between the con-
ditions in Cork and those in Belfast,
as regards the observance Of law and
order. The Orange rufians who made
such disgraceful record on the oc'
casion of the recent dedication of the
cathedral of Armagh would do we'll to
follow the example given them by the
people Of Cork.

NO plsuNloN.

At a recent conference of leading
Democrats of the state, held at St
Paul, the matter of state ticket to
be voted for at the November election
was the chief topic for consideration.
The daily papers in reporting the
meeting, and particularly those of Re-
publican proclivities, point to the ap.
parent absence of leaders of the
Hearst movement at the gathering,
overlooking the fact that the Demo,
cratic presidential nomination has been
made and that we are all Parker Dem
ocrats now. The partisan press is, of
course, anxious to create as much
strife in the Democratic ranks as pos
sible and would have the public be-
lieve that it was the evident intention
of the promoters Of the meeting at st.
Paul to purposely ignore what they are
the party. This effort has not met
with success. Judge J. R. Corrigan,
one of the Hearst leaders and delegate
to the national Democratic convention
from Minnesota, upon being asked fol
an opinion regarding the conference,
gave expression to the following very
sensible and practical view which
should be shared by all good Demo
Gratis. He said in part:
II have great confidence in the poll
teal judgment Of many of the gentle
men who met at st. Paul in the inter
est of Democracy. Nor should any
Democrat criticise their self appointed
task, as unless some will take upon
themselves to do such work it remains
undone. Nor should I feel hurt that
those who met there favored some
other presidential candidate than did
before the national convention. Such
heart burnings coming from either side
do not help party success.
II consider the suggestion of John
Lind for the supreme court bench an
exceedingly happy one, and to the
gubernatorial candidacy, my first
choice would be in line with my local
pride, Judge Pond, but my second
choice is emphatically Senator John
son. My watchword is that every
Democrat should he for the nominee
unless he is clearly incompetent"

active maintenance will tax the energy
of the country, which is entitled ia
claim aid from all Nationalists, and
to fear hindrance from none. Never
We're the landlords able to stand be.
fore an active and united tenants
combination. They cannot stand be-
\ fore it now. In the face of such a
combination, prices will come down to
reasonable standard, and justice
| will be done to the congested districts
and evicted tenants. To such a COM
bination internal troubles are, as re-
cent history has shown, far more fatal
than outside force. Dissension is the
one danger to be feared. 1t is the
one hope of the enemy.
1t was certainly significant COIN
cidence that on the day on which the
chairman of the Irish party wrote to
the lord mayor of Cork to deprecate
the revival of old controversies and
determinations the same sentiments
should have been so emphatically ex-
pressed at the gathering of the party
which met to do honor to Mr.. Blake.
The eloquent eulogium of the chair
man Of the party was no more than
concise recital of Mr.. Blake's serv-
ices and sacrifices the Irish cause.
Mr.. Blake's speech in reply was not
the least of many services rendered
at critical moment. No man who
knows Mr.. Blake for one moment
doubts that if he ever found himself
in opposition to the views of the great
majority of the party he would dis
play in retirement "the absolute reti-
cence and self-restraint" which he de-
clared to be imperative, and that he
would much rather remain in the
judgment Of the country wrong than
seek to set himself right by proving
his party wrong" '.rhere u.s." he said,
lone other of our obligations to which
also wish to refer-our obligation to
submit to the decision of a National
convention. 1 here endorse that OBJ
legation. 1 do not pretend that the
conventions, any more than any other
human assembly, are infallible. I do
| not pretend that their decisions are
unavoidable. do not pretend that one
convention may not modify the policy
of another. All these propositions are
self-evident, but, while the decision of
convention stands it ought to be
honestly obeyed." Now it is not to
be forgotten that at the last great
National convention the policy which
the chairman of the Irish party (AIr.
Redmondl advocates received an en-
phatic sanction. After full discussion,
the convention, by an overwhelming
majority, condemned the attempt to
pursue past controversies.
The old controversies are dead.
Everything that could be said has
been said on the subject. The peo-
pies judgment was formed on the
plain facts and figures, and is not to
be shaken. 1t would surely be folly,
when face to face with the enemy
preparing for battle, to persist in
| wrangling as to how previous battle
should have been fought. Such
wrangling can only serve to weaken
the National forces and hearten the
enemy. Mr.. Redmond has plainly be-
hind him the party and the people in
his determination to ignore past con-
troversies and pursue forward and
united policy for the future.

Marshall, MIMI, Aug. 13.-Yesterday
an unknown man was cut to pieces by
a Chicago and Northwestern train
here. He was apparently one of the
class known as the hobo and was rid

fell under the wheels and met his
death. He lived about two hours after
the accident. He was able to give
his name which he said was Charley
Cavanaugh. At his request q priest
was sent for, but when he arrived the
injured man was unable to talk.

heard to utter. Kind Catholic friends
gave the remains Christian burial. All

SENATOR VEST.

A few days prior to the death of
Missouri's beloved statesman and ex-
senator, George G. Vest, the following
editorial tribute was penned by Rev.
d. S. Phelan for his paper, the West
ern Waterman. 1t is, parhaps, no ex-
aggeration to say that no Catholic
editor in the land was better able to
pass Judgment upon the earthly career
of the dead senator. Father Phelan's
tribute is most beautiful and comes
from the depth of the heart. 1t is as
follows:
''For weeks the life Of Senator Vest
has been hanging by thread. In
fact, his physicians are surprised that
he still lives. When he goes this state
will have lost the brightest man who
ever figured in her politics. His career
has been one Of ever-increasing splen-
dor, until it reached it's zenith in the
last years of his last term in the SEN
ate. Since the time Of Clay and Web
ster, there has not been a man in the
upper branch of the national legisla-
ture who challenged SO much attention
and so helped to direct legislation into
wise and prudent channels. There has
not been Il question before congress
for quarter Of century in which
Senator Vest has not been found on
the right side. Although senator
from this state in the Confederate con-
gress, his attitude towards the federal
government all through the reconstruc
ton period has been honest and states
manlike. He has been Democrat,
but the silly issues into which the
grand old party has been from time
to time drawn, never found in him an
advocate. He was not a Greenbncker
He was very halting advocate Of the
unlimited coinage Of silver. While not
favoring any extreme measures Of the
party, he. was always good party
man; and the Democracy Of this state
swore by him to the last. Even though
broken down in health and unable to
perform senatorial duties, he would
have been elected two years ago If he
had not positively refused the honor.
This is saying great deal, taken in
connection with the fact that legis-
lature which elected Senator Stone
could not be expected to appreciate
official integrity Of which Senator Vest
| was such a bright exemplar. But
there are men whose purity Of life is
so conspicuous that even the base
must pay tribute.
ut was during the sad years of the
A. F. A. movement that Senator Vest
showed the stern stuff of which he
was made. Although the country
Democracy was drawn into that move
ment, our senior senator never ceased
denouncing it on the stump and in the
press, until he had uprooted the nox-
ious weed from the soil of the state.
When Stone and Stephens and Dock
cry hearkened to the SIRENS song,
Vest steered clear Of the dangerous
coast and listened not to the strains Of
treason. If the Catholics of this state
are not now in the camp Of the Repub.
licans, it is owing to the manly course
u 81 the greatest Democrat Missouri has

ever produced.

ever produced. 1h 70
''In all matters affecting the Catho
l.lic religion Senator Vest has been oul
undaunted champion. Whenever the
sisters wanted friend they found
one in the senior senator from Mis-
souri,. When the Catholics of New
Mexico or any other part of the Union
were assailed Senator Vest appeared
as their defender. When the Catholic
Indian schools were made the subject
of unjust and discriminating legisla.
ton by the government, Senator Vest
undertook the defense of the Old
Church, her policy and her history;
and the words he uttered in our high
est legislative halls will not be for
gotten while truth and eloquence are
held in honor by that body. And so
manly was this championship of the
church that he not only won friends
for her, but he compelled the respect
even of his enemies. There never was
a Aluu III tuc SeLilc Wiz lIOlu luC
first day of his entrance into that
body until his final leave-taking who
enjoyed greater respect among his col
leagues.
1--WE write these lines that Catholics
everywhere in the land may at this
hour of his final struggle remember
Senator Vest in their prayers; for he
is not Catholic. 1t is sad to think
that man who has so many devoted
Catholics among his friends and who
has said so much good of the church,
should die without her pale. Public
men have not time for religion in the
heyday Of their political prosperity.
and they have little taste for it when
they come to die. But the grace of
God is not limited by the perversity
Of man, and prayer can work Won
ders. We ask all our readers to pray
for the conversion and happy soul of
George G. Vest. We ask the priests
to make memento of our dear friend
in their masses. We ask the religious
orders, whose friend he was for half
century, to pray for mercy on his
soul.'

| to have its effect on the nerves of
these good women, nearly all Of whom,
we presume, are anxious to see the
work completed. We clip the follow
ing excerpt from the reports of Tues
days session as published in the daily
papers:
Yesterdays session was devoted to
"a consideration of constitutional
amendments, but there were few or no
changes made in the existing order of
things. The sentiment appeared to be
against revision in any form and most
of the amendments were rejected al
most as soon as they were presented.
THE convention is costing the order
$1,000 day, and many of the dele
gates are anxious that the session
should end at once. Many of the dele
gates are ill and physicians say that
their sickness is caused by the close
confinement in the heated hall and
change in drinking water. On the
other hand, there are those who say
homesickness is the greatest trouble"
While Minneapolis is pleased to have
such a splendid convention of Catho-
lie womanhood and extends the hos
pitality of it's people to them in the
fullest measure, yet it seems a pity
that the delegates representing the
fair sex are so exasperatingly slow in
their deliberations. 1t looks like all
work and but little accomplished for
the amount of money expended. The
delegates, no doubt, are anxious to go
to their homes as soon as possible and
will have but little time to enjoy the
many outside attractions which Mime
apolis offers, including our beautiful
lakes and public parks and many
other interesting features of visit to
the Northwest. Would it not be we'll
for the ladies to take pattern from
their brothers of the G. o. F. and A.
o. H., which organizations are in the
habit of transaeting all the business
that comes before their national con-
ventions, and effecting an adjourn
ment within four days from the time
they are called to order.

sweets as Presents.

Sugar and preserves were fashionable
presents in Queen Bess' time. Every
one seemed to have had "a sweet
tooth" in those times. The dean and
chapter of Salisbury, having a case to
be tried before Justice Hale, presented
him with six sugar loaves, for which
the judge, who was exceptionally
scrupulous, insisted on paying. In
Davenants poem, Madagascar" Oc-
ours the couplet:
Then reconcile the rich for gold fringed
gloves,
The poor for Gods sake or for sugar
loaves.
The sergeants of the house of COM
mons in Lent, 1885, received from
Lord Howard a present of sugar. The
chamber of Exeter in 1910 voted sugar
loaves to two canons for their morn
ing lectures. Sometimes marmalade,
oranges, lemons or even potatoes took
its place, and when sugar became
cheaper the custom ceased. In 1881
