was decidedly grand affair, the house
being Glled by an. appreciatiye audience,
the programme being first class, and
proceeds amounting to $500. Manager
Conklin acted generously in giving the
free use Of this Opera house to the
Club. and the ladies' and gentlemen

s;ises 50 charnlingly gave their services
gratllitously. Danz' orchestra was at
its best and was rapturously applauded
The address of President Cyrus North
rup Of the State University had but one
fault-iJ was too short He managed,
however, in a few minutes talk to say
q good deal worth remen boring. He
spoke of the power entrusted to the
young journalists Of the city. and the
influence they WELD in the moulding Of
public opinion. In the most impress
sive manner he called upon the young
Journalists to bear one CT two things in
mind. He recognized the fact that no
man can conduct a newspaper unless
it paws. but he said no man had the
right to run a paper on a purely COM
mercial basis any more than clergy
man has to preach with tho sole obje ct
OF filing his pews. The man who
writes for a newspaper should have
consideration for his readers aud should
never pen word to injure the mem
bers of a household into which it may
enter. IT should be an aid in the in
culcation Of morality and advocate
what is good and enuobling. The press
wie!ds great influence. The most
popular speaker gets the ear Of but a
limited number of people. The writer
of books has not such constituency
as the writer for the newspapers, which
are read by every one. He therefore
requested his young journalistic friends
TO remember their moral responsibility
Tor everything coming from their pen-
ellis to gointo print. THE IRISH STAN
DAED hopes that the advice of Presi-
dent Northrup will be followed by the
young Journalists Of our city. We
know them to be men who work COLI
scientiously: and reflect honor On their
profession. They are q talented lot OF
young men who are eminently moral
in their lives and highly respectable IN
every sense. They scarcely ever write
a sentence that Catholic journal like
THE IK1su STANDARD cannot approve
from Il moral point Of view, and the sue
cess of their entertainment is sufficient
proof OF the appreciation bestowed on
their labors by the people Of Minneapo-
lis.

that the young Ladies' Of the Holy
