The bright green of their national flag is seen on the streets. At 3 o'claek this afternoon a handsome procession was formed on Market square and marched over the line ot march previously published.

TTbe sons of the Emerald isle do not on this? oc occasion - casion occasion celebrate a deliverance fromv the tyranny ot kings, as the French do on the anniversary of the taking ot the baatlle; not such a change of government ait in England marks the final overthrow of the Stuarts, nor an era of national independ independence - ence independence such as was turn in America on July 4. While St r'.rick'j marks no distinctly great national or historical event that, oc occurred - curred occurred on that particular day, it neverthe nevertheless - less nevertheless has reference (o one of the most re remarkable - markable remarkable events of either secular or relig religious - ious religious history the conversion of Ireland from paganism to Christianity. Beyond that it is a celebration which looks to the future as well as to the past and Involves within itself the hope and longing) of every true Irishman for a time to come when the green fljg which his fathers loved will float once more over a self-governed, regenerated and prosperous, it not an Inde Inde-pen - pen Inde-pen lent nation. Many have inclined to think that the celebration of the day espe cially consecrated In the Itoman Catholic calendar to the patron saint of Ireland, Is exc uively a religious festival. This is by no meant the case. Undoubtedly the rail- g ous element enters largely into the affair, and undoubtedly the day is one of the festi val days of the Catholic church. But in the minds of those who will march In proces sions today, aud participate in the other ex exercises, - ercises, exercises, there will be other ideas than those of an exclusively religious nature. St Pat Patrick - rick Patrick Is the" typical Irishman in a national and patriotic seuseas. well as in an ecdesl astical. and tlie festhities of the occu-km, commemorate the glories of the pas t the struggles tinder centuries ot oppression and misrule, the aspirations for a uobler'afad better era. the ..yearnings for freedom and equal aws. and the anient de?lre for all (tut the soul of man holds .dear. Rever Reverently - ently Reverently the Irishman, will put up his petition to his patron saint, but while blessing tiiat saint rur delivering Ireland from ths yoke of heathenism, he will not fail to invoke the saint's benediction upon and aid for that righteous cause whicli looks to the.-e-Hverance of the Green isle from sejtish op oppression - pression oppression and unequal laws. "And eden those who disown tlie claims of St Patrick f us a man whom cauoiiizitien has placed! in a uiguer rang man nis leuows, aim to wnoiu has been given peculiar holiness ami power, will nevertheless remember that Patrick embodied In himself the best and noblest qrtalitles of his countrymen, that he wit a "gentleman" as well as a saint and will be glad that his name furnishes a worthy memory, around which the thoughts and holies of Irishmen all over the globe can cling, keeping them molded together in heart, and feeling for their native laud. ! Considering that St Patrick's day is not an exclusively religious festival, and that Irishmen of all creeds jon iu its celebra celebra-tUin, - tUin, celebra-tUin, the (overs of liberty of ?lutever nationality may well take part in the ere-! monies of the day. The conduct of those ' ceremonies should always be, of course, in ' the hands of St Patrick's countrymen; but a warm interest in tlOse pereiuonies, $ glad participation iu tuciu so far as proper, and a deeu sympathy for the hones aud a-nlra- tions that gather around the day. are per- mined to Americans of other than Celtic blood, and are honorable to men of every nationality or roe. It. is not intended to give here more than a glance at St Patrick's history. .Ilu is spoken of as the "iypical Irishman." al though, in tha narrow sense of birthplace, he was not an Irishman at all: for. If what i seem to be the most authentic accounts can be replied upon, be was born iu Gaul. Nevertheless he i of the same Celtic blood as the inhabitants of Ireland, and Ills subsequent life Identified him immortally ?2Vh tA,"!,M7,p ! Vf fc.ri.n" H.e w" hr,t.U.ke.n ; iiuuiu.ui ui iinauu -sasiarc. nscajuiiB, he went to Home aud rose high in the dig nities of the church. But his residence In Ireland even as a slave had Imbued him with a fervent love for the country and Its people, and an ardent desire to rescue them from paganism. The voice ot Ireland called him in his conscience aud (lis dreams. He obeyed. He went to the favored isle. Immediate and wonderful success crowned his efforts. King after kiug and chieftain after chieftain aban abandoned - doned abandoned the worship ot the ancient gods to become tlie followers of Christ The whole island bowed to the cross. St Patrick con continued - tinued continued a citizen of the land he had rescued and left his bones teneath Its sod. All this was more than fourteen hundred years ago; but the zeal, tlie devotion, the self-sacrltice and the patriotism of St Pat Patrick - rick Patrick still live iu the hearts ot Irishmen and wilt we hope, conduce to a noble future. Let the green Hag be Hung out today and. twined with the stars and stripes, be a tit tit-ting - ting tit-ting emblem of America's deep sympathy for the Irish cause. HESS'S HAPPINESS, And tln It Mas Sliort-LUrd A Ilogus Telegram Alienttlie toui.taua Stte Lot. lerj. Another cruel Joke has been perjietrated on a patron of that great moral Institution and fortune-maker (in the passive voice). the Louisiana state lottery. A miller named Mr. John Hess, formerly of Warder & Barnett's, purchased a one-fifth ticket in t'.ie lottery. The drawing came off a few dtys ago. and last night tlie boys at Lud low's enrrir store.

Hess was wild all night and made the rounds telling everybody of his "success." He probably took 300 people Into his confi confidence. - dence. confidence. It is likely that he has tumbled to himself and the Joke by this time. Ai.otliar Coal Tinu Change.

But the republicans of Springfield cannot think for a moment ot such a step, for It would simply sink their organization. Harry L. Rock fieldEndorse I.udlow? .Well, not by any means. We republicans have no desire to play the tail end to this prohibition kite. It Ls the height of aVurdlty at this stage of the game to think of us backing up the prohi prohibitionists - bitionists prohibitionists and adding fuel to their flames.

"We can, by good work, elect our entire republican ticket this spring, and as this election will have a great influence upon the state election this fall, and that In turn upon the national election, it won't do to give such a proposition respectful attention.
