Because of the good which the
salary will do Mr.. Hodgson and his
family, the TRIBUNE hopes to see
him reelected as county superinten-
dent of schools in Grant county and
we believe he will be. 1t hopes also
Il that he will attend to the duties OF
the office hereafter, so that there Will
be no further reason for criticism up
on him. If, however, Mr.. Hodgson
fails to attend to his duties and there
should be any who see fit to speak OF
such neglect, Mr.. Hodgson should
consider well the "glass house" which
his past actions have built over him,
before he again loses him temper and
emits enough of his native vulgarity
to cover the column in the Herman
Herald supposed to be conducted fol
the benefit of the farmers.

Public sentiment is rapidly growing
in favor of electing United States
senator's by direct vote of the people
and sooner or later this method will
be adopted. It will result In an inn
proved membership in what ought
to be the most valuable portion of our
national legislature. There will be
fewer millionaires, and more states
men. A millionaire with no legitimate
qualifications, can frequently buy an
election from a state legislature, but
none of them have money enough to
buy up the people of an entire state.

The Minneapolis Evening Journal
comments upon the disposition that
prevails to change elective officers at
the end of first or second term, just
when they are becoming acquainted
with the detail work oftheir positions
and able to make themselves more
valuable to their constituents. 1t
says: "Experience and length OF
service count for something in every
trade and profession except In the
profession of politlcs--possibly II 1t
were not for the exceptions there
would be no profession OF politics. In
the purely appointive offices and in
the subordinate ranks of the civil
service business principles are begin
ming to be recognized, but in the
elective offices the simple fact that
man has had an Office is one of the
weightiest reasons, even within his
own party, why he should not have 1t
after he learns to fill it satisfactorily.
Two terms are generally enough to
put him on the shelf and give some
other man a chance to learn a little
about the practical side of public
business ut II public expense for his
schooling. The office will be looked
upon as favor to he given away, or
piece of booty to be carried off, instead
of position of public trust to be filled
by the best experience and natural
qualification obtainable."
| II ought to be the mission of every
newspaper to endeavor to elevate
mankind and to show what is Sc
easily shown, that nobility of charac'
ter and pure life are the only means
by which greatness and usefulness OF
the highest degrees of these, can be
achieved. We could not deny even il
we desired to hide the truth, thai
many who have won fame and LEFT
adorning footsteps upon the sands o
time, have been greatly lacking il
principle and have led immoral lives
But it may be safely assumed that al
immoral life cannot be as useful anC
cannot he as happy as one that Ii
moral. Indeed, if all the results anC
influences of an immoral life could b'
accurately traced, it is quite probable
that It would be shown that th'
world would have been muth bette
off if some of its noted men had neve
existed. One thing is certain: when
ever men fail to be what they can be
highly developed Intellectually ant
morally, they are treading upol
dangerous ground to say the least
Man is endowed with great capablli
ties. He has no business to be brute
The gift of mind and moral sensl
bilities indicates that it was hi
Creators intention that he should b
noble in his thoughts, practices an
: aspirations. Yet few reach the highes
standard, while many reach the leve
of the brute and thousands sink eve
lower. But retribution Is certain.

On the receipt recently of the announce
ment that Archbishop Tascherau had been
elevated to the honor of place in the college
of card mails, the people of Quebec celebrated
the event 10y pyrotechnic displays. Here as
sewhere throughout Canada commence
rative services were held in the churches TO
show their appreciation of their old prelate
The reason for it all is that this kindly old
man has, for the forty -four years that he
has been priest and shepherd among them,
given his time, talents and even offered his
life in their behalf One of his first acts
after his elevation to the minstry was to

among tn. emigrants AM they were dying
by the hundreds in these hos pitals The
young Father Tas chereau begged TO be al
lowed to minister to them His wish was
granted, AMI he himself contrac Ell the awful
malady. His life was spared, though, to
offer it many times since TO the service of the
needy Father Taschereaus self-,acrice was
all the more commendable from the fact of
his distin Iuished family connections His
mother was rom the Panet family, and his
own name is one of the most distinguished in
lower Canada, his father was leading
member of parliament His brother, Jean
Thomas Taschereau, was on the supreme

to be in small grocery in Williamsburg.
He subsequently became ''timeSeeper' at

that firm of iron manufacturers were in

the situation, and although lie knew scarcely
anything of the requirements of the position,
succeeded in obtaining and holding the place
at a salary of IS a week. Within very
short time his salary had been nearly
doubled. His executive ability was speedily
recognized. and when, in 1867, the junior
member of the firm died, the sole manage
ment of the details of the business was in
trusted to young Flynn. Two years later
he was given small interest in the firm, and
on May |, 1870 was admitted to the firm as
an equal partner
