The District Government.

Governor Cooke, the newly appointed chief
official Of the District Of Columbia, delivered
an address before u Republican meeting in
Washington, on Tuesday, in which he said !:
The Inauguration OF new government for
this DrstrIct-a government Invested with
legislative aud executive powers far more
ample than We have ever enjoyed here before
marks the beginning OF a new era for the
National CBpital. 1t means, under the bles.
sing OF God, the encouragement of Industry,
the revival Of trade, commerce aud manu-
features, the OpeuINg of new railway commu-
nicatiOns with the interior, employ meut aud
good wages for labor, md profitable invest
meuts for capital free schOOls for all without
dNSIlucIlOu OF Discrimination. In brief, 1t
means, in the broadcast sense progress. dvEeJ.
OPment, prosperity. In the furtherance of
these grand objects do not doubt tho new
government will render every aid and proIec.
tiOn but above all. it is my earnest purpose,
SO far rs | can control affairs. that il shall be
administered upon the principles of the Re.
publican party, with which have been iden
tilted from its birth-a party whose first ma.
tiOnal administration, under Lincoln, gave to
the cOlOred man his freedom. aud whose pres
ent administration, under Grant, gave him
the weapon with which to defend that free
dOm-the ballot.

A GOOD PRIEST A


There is hardly a Catholic in Memphis,
not one of the old resident Catholics.
who does not remember the untir-
ing Father O'Brisn. He came here
in 1851, at a time when be was
Provincial of the Dominican Order
in the United States. he labOred here for
some years. He left the impress of his
memory upon the peoples minds by his
aDOTE more han by his preaching. His last
visit to this city was during Lent Of 1870,
when he gave a mission at st. PETERS.
Then an old man, approaching seventy
years, he laDOred almost day and night in
the mission. He was found in the Con-
fessiOnal at five in the morning and at
ten at night. Sickly from his youth, he
had the reputation Of being the hardest
working Priest in the Dominican Order.
He was born in Nenah, Ireland, in 1902;
was in America fOrJy-siX years. He was
ordained by Bishop Myles, of the Diocese
of Nashville, in 1884. Among his first
work as a missionary in the then west
eru country, was a ride on horseback from
the Convent of st. Rose, in Kentucky, to
Saint JOssph's Convent, in Perry county,
Ohio, a distance Of three hundred and fifty
miles "a circumstance characteristic of
his patient, humble spirit, as well as of
the Apostolic simplicity of the times.
Father O'Brien was no self-seeker. He
never preached an eloquent sermon in his
life; but the souls hat be converted are
countless. He never thought of Orna-
ment, or figure, or elOquence in his speech.
He told plain truths in a plain way. His
philosophy was summed up in II
brief, full sentence which ne used with
effect, noe are liHJited-GOd is infinite.
he spent most of his sacerdOtal life
among the poor, in small towns, along the
railroads, and among the dense pOpula-
of large cities. He labOred to make
men good. He died recently in Louisville.
What he had succeeded in accomplish
ing for the benefit of man will not be
known till the day Of general Judgment.
