EX-AI.TORNEY GENERAL GARLAND
has accepted a position as resident at
torney for the Northern Pacific rail-
road at Washington. As that road
does not come within several hundred
miles of Washington, of what use can
an attorney be to il there, at salary
of S25, 900 year? Simply this that h6
can if he is well acquainted, and has
ability and standing, do great deal
of successful lobbying for it in con-
gress during the coming winter. That
there will be need for it, is evident,
when it is remembered that at the last
session of that body, a bill passed the
house FORGETTING large body of land
granted to that railroad. The senate
amended, and it went in the closing
hours of the session to Il conference
committee where it persisted.
the forfeiture question will be brought
up again, and a man of Mr.. Garland s
standing can be of great service in block
ing needed legislation against the rapa-
cious road. 1t does not matter that
Garland is a democrat. He has no
more scruples than another at becOm-

STRUCK ny THE BRIDGE.

J.. r. ROsenkrantz, q Freight Brake
man. Killed Near Dunlap Last Even
Ing.
From Percy Noise, who was on the
train at the time, we get the following
facts. AS the north bound freight
train on the Missouri, Kansas 81 Texas
railroad was approaching Dunlap about
z o'clock last evening, and while eros
sing a bride half mile south of that
burg, j. I. ROsenkrantz, a brakeman
who was sitting on the cupola of the
caboose, was struck on the head
by the bridge and instantly
killed. He was knocked from the Gu
pola, and lay on the top of the car.
His skull was fractured and death was
instantaneous. This bridge, which is
said to be two feet flower than the
standard, is death trap. Not a great
while ago another man was killed by it
in a similar manner. Mr.. Rosen-
krantz was young man of so, and had
been for several years a freight con-
ductor. He is said to have been very
popular With the railroad boys. His
home was at Fort Scott, whittier his
remains will be sent for burial. The
o. r. G. of that place, of which he was
member, telegraphed his friends here
to spare nothing in caring for his re-
mains. His parents reside in New

is alive with maggots and worms gath
cred up by the stream of water flowing
out of the alley near by. There is an
almost constant stream of water from
the bath rooms of the Y. NJ. C. A. in
the Fluker building flowing down the
alley back of that building. On
reaching Sixth avenue, it flows
west, and as we said, part of it
remains standing in slight depres-
sion in front of the opera house. There
you can see maggots in all stages of
growth, as well as along the entire
course of the stream. These animals
are not especially dangerous it is true,
but trifle disagreeable should they be
found crawling on one. Besides, their
presence in the water indicates filthy
and disease-breeding condition of
things in the alley and neighboring
precincts. What can be done about it,
is for those whose business it is TO look
after such thingss to say.

A correspondent of the Kansas City
Globe speaks as follows of an obscure
Irish laborer at Kansas City whose let
tiers to the Chicago Inter Ocean of late
have attracted wide attention. The
Globe man says: In the Office of Mr..
Crohn, secretary to the mayor, Sat
urday afternoon. the writer had the
pleasure of meeting Pat Grant. >
He is the writer of the recent vigorous
articles on the Clan-na-Gael and Irish
affairs in general. Such wide extent
of knowlege of classic and modern lit
erature, such varied acquaintance
with men and manners, such a COM
mand of English language and such
an extensive knowledge of men and
manners, with intellectual and liter
airy power to use all these attachments
are seldom found in one combination.
Yet Grant has them and he is but a
railroad laborer. What his name or
antecedents are, he does not care to tell.
If as he says, ''Pat Grant" suits him
it is good enough for the public. He
has evidently been among the highest
of the world, however, his modes of
thought and expression and little per
sonal habits, together with his evident
personal knowledge of the past move
ments of celebrated characters indi,
eating that fact. He was educated at
Trinity college. Grants strong let.
tiers have attracted attention more
widely from the fact that they stood
in such prominent relief against the
material with which they were sur
rounded. Finerty, Ford and all the
leaders-so-called-o = American IT.
ishmen have smarted from the thrust
of this day laborer, who. transformed
the maui of the railroad hand into the

them. They will shudder still more

The New York Tribune was hard
pushed for an argument when the best
it coul do was to say by way Of apol-
ogy for the low wages that caused II
or $4,000 ConnellsvIlle Pennsylvania
coke burners to strike the other day,
that Low wages are better than no
wages at all, as would be the case if
coal and iron ore were not protected >
Certainly half loaf is better than no
bread at all, but is that the theory up
on which the wOrkingman was asked
to vote for protection? Was he not
told that the object of the tariff was to
guarantee him not half loaf but all
the bread he could eat? If it did not
accomplish that result it was certain
ly failure. Consider thu Tribune's
argument and say whether so far as
the coke burners at least are con-
| cerned, 1t is a success or not.

The G:nn.i SnmnrItnna-

EDITOR NEws:-The giving of aims
with Catholics seems to be a religious
office. The voluntary surrender of
gifts, each according to his ability, as
a means of grace, is more prominently
insisted upon among Catholics than
with PrOtestants, consequently sYs-
tematic taxation for the poor is not re-
sorted to in Catholic countries. In
our own country, in many localities
institutions of charity, hospitals for
the sick and unfortunate, without re-
gard to caste or religion, have been
built. These asylums are under
the control of the, Sisters of
Charity, who. by the gentle
ness of their hearts, and the fervOr of
their religion, voluntarily devote their
lives to the care of the sick and infirm.
Fifty years ago there was in France no
asylum for the aged and ailing poor.
The want of institutions for the infirm,
| it appears, was not so severe as to at
tract the public eye. At this time two
Catholic women united with one
Jeanne Sugon secured a little house
where the three women so devoted
| themselves to cherishing the aged and
infirm paupers of the neighborhOod,
as to attract the notice of the
sisters of charity who finally received
them into their order. under the name
of The Little Sisters of the Poor.
These sisters cared for their charges
in the most frugal way, upon the volun
IN fr-iG
for the support of their Intuition,
principally from the crumbs fallen
from the rich mans table. The fares
of these nurses are never better than
the objects of their care. The Little
Sisters, l think, have not ex-
tended their special organization
to this country, but the whole
system of Catholic aims seems to be in
the hands of the sisters of charity.
These good samaritans always appear
to me to wear such bright look of
cheerfulness on their faces as to denote
hearts that are beating to some pur-
pose in the world. Nothing seems to
disturb their pleasant thoughts. They
appear to live to console the sick and
devote their lives to the welfare of
others. The hospital in Emporia is
under the charge of these sisters of
charity. All are admitted whose con-
dition is such as to require the services
of careful nurses, and the
soothing influence of gentle
hands. The question of price.
the differences in religion enter
not into the hearts of these good peO-
