EX-PRE;MIER N0RQUAY DEAD.

Hon. John Norquay, ex-Pramler OF
Manitoba and member Of the provincial
narliament. died last Friday at lis home
in Winnipeg. Mr.. NorQuag has been
more than an ordinary figure in Mani
tot,a politics for many years. lie was
p man of generous impulses, great force
Of charactsr and g, noble statesman. 1t
is said of him, that though poor, COM
z,arativaly speaking, he never allowed
a cas. OF need to pass his door without
extending tue warm hand OF charity.
He was the idol Of the northwestern
lf-breeds, who always ran TO the ex-
Premier for abuse and counsel. lie
was a strong supporter of the Tory
government, which lost its hold in Man"
itoba at the last election, and though
reduced to the level of any every day
CITIZEN he still stood by the principles
of his party. He was man OF great
personal magnetism and succeeded dur
ing life in surrounding himself with a
wide circle of friends, who were very
warmly attached to him. AS an orator
Mn. Norquay occupied the first place in
Manitoba for many years. lie was an
ardent and devout admirer OF his coun'
Try, for which he often predicted a great
and glorious future. He will be- missed
by the people Of Manitoba.

best days behind prison bars, because
they dared to raise their voices in be-
half of their unfortunate country. For
these and many other similar reasons,
says Mr.. Gladstone, Ireland has a right
to be dissatisfied with her condition and
particularly of the total failure Of the
present government to meet the de-
mands of the country, The only hope
of the country, he says, lies in Home
Rule, not in separation as the enemies
of Ireland claim the Nationalist are
fighting for. Local independence is
what will unite the two countries. NO
better example have we Of the truth OF
thejs statement than in the case of our
own United States when the Southern
states attempted to secede and were
defeated, they we're give local indepen-
dence, without which the war of the
Rebellion would have been fought in
vain. Mr.. Gladstone says the Irish
people have been patient to fault, and
it is beyond his comprehension how
they ever bore up under their treat
ment by the English government. He
predicts speedy solution of this great
question which can only be brought
about by moral suasion and moral
force. May the grandest of men Of
modern times live to see his aspirations
realized.

A NOZZLE INSTITUTION

Minneapolis has an institution Which
the Irish in particular and Mime
spoljtaus in general, ought to support
with q will. that is the House OF the
Good Shepherd. The name tells us
what it is, but it does not tel! what 1t
has done. and what it is doing. 1t
would take volumes to tel! that For
many years the Order OF the Sisters OF
the Good Shepherd has lived and
thrived under trying circumstances
Nv degrees it has spread across this
great country of ours, bringing sun
shine and happiness to many an UNI

these holv women came here, they have
lived. as it their custom, in quiet un-
ostentatious way, never showing them
selves outside the cloister unless it is
in search of bread for the needy ones
within. It is there that the fallen are
cared for, regardless Of color, class or
creed, and many one of these poor
creatures have these good Sisters to
thank for their salvation. There are

Mr.. Gladstone's speech at Plymouth,

tribulations OF the Irish people since
the passage of the Act Of the Union,
was one of the grandest efforts OF the

lucldly drew an artists picture OF the
means adopted by the English govern

act he said was "a pretended compact
to which the Irish nation never gave
it's assent" Mr.. Gladstone never
uttered a more truthful statement in
his life, and no one knows better than
he. how the Irish people have suffered
through this union. No nation was

is going to erect monument to the
memory OF the ''Balnmeen Boys" who
were hung some 10 years ago for their
religion. They were charged with
murder and found guilty. and were
hung in the jail yard at Downpatrick
without any ceremony. 1t afterwards
transpired that the real murderer, who
was a rank Ofangeman, escaped to
America, but the authorities never
made any attempt to extradite him.
Six innocent Catholics, in the minds of
the authorities, were not as good as one
guilty O1angeman. Such was British

COL. W. S. KING wrote a. letter to the
Tribune in which he endeavored to
show that when Tom Lowry was given
a franchise to operate street cars in this
city, it was the intention of the council
that he should always have the exclu-
sive right in the streets whether the
motive power was horse, cable or steam.
Anderson & Douglass however came
back with powder and ball at the gallant
colonel, and informed him that it was
queer that IA, 900 people could give away
rights and privileges that now belong
rightfulIy to 100000 and they simply
ask for the privilege of testing this
question in the courts, without any
expense to the city and very reason

America is Father Tolton, but it is not
on account of any disability OF color

such distinction as the Presbyterians,

object to have colored ministers sit in

THE grants to ROYALTY are again dis
tressing the British House of Commons
and the people who are taxed to sup
port that costly list are kicking as of
old. That will avail them but little.
A partial list has been prepared for the
consideration of parliament at its next
session, and no doubt will 90 through.
The first on this list is the Princess
Louise, daughter of the Prince of
Wales and fancee Of the Earl Of Fife.
She asks for the modest sum of $4,000
year until married and $125, 600 year
after marriage. Prince Albert Victor,
the Queens eldest grandson, Is down
on the list for $4,000 year until mar
ried, and $l25,000 annually thereafter.
Several of the small fry are on the list
for promotion, and will, no doubt, get
all they ask, unless some unexpected
change comes over the dispensers Of
public money IN London. Instead of
referring these applications to COM
mittee, Parliament ought to table them.

JOHN L.. SULLIVAN is now the
greatest man in the world. He has met
and conquered he only man who had
any chance of getting first place in the
prize ring. What an honor! Yet there
was not a man, woman or child, from
the newsboy selling off the stuffed
extras issued by the local dailies, to the
chief executive of the city, who was
not as anxious last Tuesday to hear how
the "b1g mill'' came off as they ever
were to know the result of national
election. 1t is queer, but it is fact
none the less, that the lower incli-
nations often get the best of people.
This is one Of the best examples of it
on record. If John L. will now only
keep his word and never enter the ring
again, he may be President of the
United States.

The GABLE FRANCHISE,

There has been more said, and less
done about the new cable car franchise
than the average citizen cares to discuss
just now. A great deal of fault has
been found with the railroad committee
from the city council, because they re-
fused to accept certain amendments
which Douglass, Anderson & Co. offered
to their original ordinance, without be-
ing first referred to the council. This
was the only thing for the committee to
do. The proper place for new PROPOSE
tons, or amendments to ones already
made, is in the city council. It would
be establishing a very bad precedent for
this committee to make any report on
these amendments. or anything else that
had not been referred to them, but they
could have discussed them and made up
their minds, whether in their opinion
as aldermen and guardians of the pub
lie good they could vote to incorporate
them in the ordinance, and perhaps
others as equally important amend
ments would have suggested them
selves, which will not come until later,
if they ever do.
In the granting of this franchise the
city's interest must be watched on all
sides and not string must be left I'M
tied to bind this new corporation down
to Observation-Disclosures that will revert to
the public good. Ten years are too
long TO give these new Corners to occupy
QUE public streets without any revenue
therefor. Why not make it five years?
Then again the council should define in
the plainest English possible what it
understands by 'sthe best Of service
which this new company promises to
give. We all know what promises be-
fore election are, and this company's
word should not be- taken as if it We're
bond. Another provision which has
not been suggested, but which must
certain be Incorporated in the con-
tract is, forfeiture clause. In case
this company fails to comply with it's
contract in any particular, it should be
made to forfeit, say $4,000 to the city.
With few such clauses as those sug
gested herein, added to what has al
ready been proposed, and practically &C
copied, the city would be safe and the
company would know just what it had
to do. But by ali means let there be no
unnecessary delay in settling this i'm
portant question and thus add another
boon to the city's prosperity.

ored to release him, but were beaten
back by the police, who almost killed
several of them. This is nothing new
for the police to do. 1t is the only way
that Balfour can hold his job. The High
Executioner in London would recall
him unless the people were butchered
and slaughtered about SO often. This
is only one of the many cases where
riots were melted to reduce the popula-
ton. If this Irish editor, who has no
fear of prison when his country;s cause
is involved, were only dead, Balfour's
mission would be fulfilled.
