A Tammany leader is reported to have said: “Deep down in our hearts we know that Murphy would not dare to run @ man against Seabury at the primaries under new conditions.” Ten years ago would a whisper of this sort have passed the lips | of any Tammany chief? Or would a man of Judge Seabury’s char-| acter have been confidently hailed by self-respecting Democrats in thie State as candidate whom they could compel the machine to accept? In national politics both candidates for the Presidency presented to the electorate this year by the two great parties are admitted to nd far-reach-| ‘stand upon an extraordinarily high plano of public character, experi- | $ ence and dignity. In the State of New York the most notoriously corrupt and pow- yerful political organization that ever figured in State annals is teduced to @ yet lower position, where instead of giving orders it must take them. New conditions, in truth—of a sort to confute the pessimists. Mr. Hughes says he will not pay party debts with jobs, How will he pay them?

HE occupation of the Austrian city of Goerz or Gorizia, with T the capture of 10,000 Austrian prisoners, is naturally hailed by the Italiani glorious first achievement in their part of the great “ring drive” against the Central Powers. The picturesqug,and charming “Austrian Nice,” as it had come to be called before the war, appears to have been pretty well battered to pieces by the Italian shells during months of repeated bombard- ments and assaults, But its capture opens the way for an Italian advance on Trieste and has been from the first an indispensable pre- liminary to any determined movement of the Italian armies to invade Austria. Since the beginning of the year the Italians have been doing a hard and thankless’ kind of fighting amid snows and mountain tops, and the results have not figured large among reports of the allies’ achievements. The taking of Gorizia links itself instantly and worthily with the Russian advances in the cast and the grinding forward push of French and British forces in the west. Austria will have to put forth desperate strength to dispute the further advance of the Italians into her territories, Meanwhile the iron circle will have to meet increasing pressures at other points.

UGUSTE CHOUTEAU, « four- | A ten-year-old boy, founded St. Louis on Valentine's Day, 1764. | His atepfather, Pierre Laclede Li- | guest, a merchant of New Orleans, had obtained from the Director Gen- eral of Louisiana the exclusive right to trade with the Indians cn the Mis- souri River, and being unable to go @ band of Frenchmen and sent them up the Mississippi to establish @ trading post on a site that had al- | ready been selected, Assisted by his men, the boy built a few log huts and @ fur trader's store and named the tiny settiement in honor of Louls IX, | the Crusader King of France. The next year tho autnorities at New Orleans sent up a Governor to take charge of the little post, for at this time the French colony of Louls- Jana claimed an immense territory, including nearly ali the valley of the Mississipp!, Curiously enougn, while all this was going on St. Li was really Spanish and not French at all. In 17683 by a secret treaty made a year before young Chouteau landed on the river bank France had ceded her en- tire territory west of the Mississipp! to Spain, But news travelled slowly in those days and the Spanish were dilatory in taking charge of their new possessions, 80, though it was on Spanish soil, the place remained a French village until 1768, when Capt. Rios and a few soldiers came up the river to haul down the lilies of France and hoist the gay colored flag of bis most "Catholic Majesty.” When the Spaniards came the tiny trading post did not show the least evidence that in little more than a century it would far outstrip many older settlements and grow into the fourth largest city in the country, Old records tell us that at this time there were in St, Louis but seventeen white men, sixteen white women and seven- sembled around a rickety wagon to which a very thin and dejected horse was hitched.

And then the horse refused to go. “I never seen such a hors the driver and owner. “He's been working hard all week hauling stone, and now when he's got a chance to go to @ picnic he won't take It.” The horse turned round and looked at the loaded wagon, And the driver began to reason with him. “Take a good look, Charley,” he said. “You see, It ain't the cart, and it ain't loaded with stone; it ain't no work at all, We are going on a picnic and you're going to have a good time. The hoi reassured by these words, evidently, coughed a few times and started off at a steady jog. “He's a smart horse, that Charley,” said Gus to Mr. Jarr in admiring tones, “He drinks beer.” “Sure, he drink beer; he'll drink all he can get,” spoke up the owner and driver proudly. “So, you see, I don't tell him no Me when I say it's a pie- nic for him, All he has to do is to haul us down to West Brighton and then back home,” The horse, inspired by the thought of the day being one of pleasure and not of toil, proceeded briskly enough, and fn due time the party reached West Brighton, where on a deserted pler in the hot sun they drank the beer, ate the lunch and fished stolidly until sundown, Finally Gus turned to the man near- est him and asked: “Does nothing bite you?” And the fellow fisher ans ed in the negative, ‘ “Ha, nothing Bites me too!” said Gus. “Let's go home.” And they jogged back to Hoboken, | “But you can't catch any fish at! declaring it a most enjoyable day, See Let him who gropes painfully in the dark or uncertain light, and prays vehemently that the dawn may ripen into day, lay this precept well to ¥ ‘Do the duty which les nearest to thee,” which thou knowest to be aduty!
