No one believed that there was any

the more of such charges and accusa-

the more will his friends see what is at

THE cable informs us that seven
Anglican clergymen were received into
the Catholic Church the other day by
Cardinal Manning. One of them had
been the principal of the Oxford mis-
sion at Calcutta. The internal troubles
of the churches of the Anglican COM
munion, no less than the trial of Bishop
KING for "Roman1stic" tendencies,
promises to lead as many great minds
into the church as did the movement
which brought in Newman anC Man
ming. The fact that these clergymen
have been received into the Church by a
Cardinal who has himself journeyed into
the true faith from Professionalism must
direct thinking men to the doctrin es
grounded on Christ's own words enun-
ciated through the Church which he
commanded all mankind to hear.

THE treatment of Father McFadden

THE treatment of Father McFadden
of Donegal, by Balfour and his wicked
associates, since the murder of Police
Inspector Martin. is another example
of British hatred against Irish Catho-
lies. Father McFadden was first ar.
rested on bogus charge of conspiracy,
which was afterwards dropped. He
was then committed to Jail half a~doZen
times, without bail on the charge of
murder, which was eventually dropped.
This did not satisfy the hirelings Of the
Castle. The charge of conspiracy to
murder was then preferred, but like
the other charges, fell fiat. Now that
the government cannot hold Father
McFadden, they propose to proceed
against the poor peasants, who are to
be tried before packed juries. Eng
lands claim to justice and right is only
claim, and it will take her many
years to rise from the plane of Russian

the cause of the terrible condition OF
affairs as anything else, but notwith-
standing that fact, IS Nationalist mem
bers Of parliament agreed to accept the
Act Of the Union, provided it was mod
flied by the erection of a statutory par
lament to manage lreland's internal
affairs. During the rising in 'es, Mr.
Gladstone writes. and quotes reliable
authors to bear him out, that the 1nsur-
gents never committed any overt acts.
While on the other hand the Kings
forces committed acts Of incendlarlsm,
plunder, rape and murder by the whole
sale. Their hellish deeds did not stop
at this. When a few thousand of the
insurgents consented to surrender, and
when they had passed over their arms,
some 200 of them were slaughtered
without provocation or excuse; messen-
gers carrying flags of truce were shot
down. BY order of Lord Kingsborongh,
two men who we're suspected of being
rebels, were taken before him, and
while his butchers were drawing the
sharp steel across the backs OF these
men, his lordship passed away dull
hour bv throwing salt into the cuts. On
another occasion, writes MIR. Gladstone,
''some soldiers of the ancient British
regiment cut open the body Of Father
Michael Murphy, after the battle OF
Arklow, took out his heart, roasted the
body and oiled their boots with the
grease which dropped from it. What
wonder is it that the Irish people have
no love for the English government.

prisoners are receiving to-day is not
much short OF the cruel and inhuman
treatment that overlook the Irish peo-

SUPT. BRACKETS VlVIoh4'

to see that Supt w. M. Brackett mas
come out with flying colors from the
wreck in which his enemies sought 10
place him. He was accused OF violating
tbo orders of the police commission,
and with releasing prisoners from the
Central station without an order from
the court He met the charges fair and
square, and disproved them to the en-
tire satisfaction of the board. lie
showed how he had never received Che
orders he was violating, and that the
orders to release prisoners from the
lookup were given after consultation
with the county attorney. MIR. Brackett
satisfied the commission that be was
always ready to obey orders, and tnal
he never showed any disposition TO 90
otherwise. No one is better pleased
with the outcome of the investigation
than is the SrANDARD, for it always
regarded Mr.. Brackett as an upright.
honest and capable man, always ready
TO do his duty without fear or favor,
and for the best interests of good govern
ment and good morals. This is the
kind of a. man every taxpayer OF our
city wants to see upheld, no matter
what the saloon or the brothel have to

good cit,zens that Mr.. Brackett remain
where he IS, though it is doubtful Ii he

DR.. KELLY's MISTAKE.

Investigations are always good when
eyer there is anything to Investigate
but they are cumbersome and expensive
things whenever there is nothing to in
vestigate~-at least nothing tangible on
which to base an investigation. This
is about the proper way to Look upon
the runors of corruption that are now
af1oat regarding the police commission
If there were nothing but honest pur,
poses behind the charges made by ex-
Police Surgeon Kelly, the public would
view the present troubles with alarm,
and believe there was something wrong.
But, a. desire to unearth che alleged
wrong doings OF this local legislative
body--if 1t be SO termed-cannot pos
sibly be the only motive that actuated
the police surgeon in coming out as ne
did, unsupported by any evidence what
ever. DR.. Kelly was a candidate Tor
re- election last spring. He was
defeated, and that having learned, as
he said himself, that there was corrup-
tion in the commission to the extent OF
$50 month, and that he failed to place
his information in the hands of the
proper authorities, shows concluslyely
the animus of his misplaced athd avlt,
IN which he charged Commissioner
Cutie with being paid for his vote. Ii
DR.. Kelly had been the honest man that
he claims to be, he would have called
the attention of the proper authorities
to the matter as soon as it came to his
knowledge. Then again he would not
have so FAR forgotten the date OF the
alleged interview with Commi ssioner
Guile, as to be 80 days astray, and seeing
that he was 80 far off the mark, would
have made a proper explanation when
he changed the date to April 7. Fur
ther than this he swears that Supt.
Bracket, TO whom he reported the case,
laid the facts as represented to him ny
DR.. Kelly, before the county attorney.
while Mr.. Brackett positively denies
having done so. Mayor Babb also den les
having had any report from DR.. Kelly,
as the latter sets forth in bis affidavit.
Here are three points which DR.. Kelly
lost sight Of, but swore to shem just the
same. The inference is, that the ex-
police surgeon was in a hurry to say
/, ,omething. and without that reverence
which should accompany an oath, made
a great mistake and injured no one but
himself. He was evidently sore over
his defeat for Office, and failing to
secure reelection, had to do some body
an injury to "get even," but in doing
this he injured only himself and pre-
vented the unearthing of something
wrong, if there was anything rotten in
police circles. This at least is the view
the public take of what they term a
complete fzzle."

The local dailies are trying to ascer-
tain who it was that sent dispatch TO
the New York Sun, purporting to give
some inside facts on the present hnan-
cial standing of Senator w. d. Wash
burn. Whoever authorized the send
ing out OF such dispatch is not 1T TO
live in Minneapolis. The author OF
that special should have taken pains
to inquire little into his subject be-
fore sending such a message al over
the country. No man has done more
for Minneapolis than Mr.. Washburn,
and certainly none wishes the -four CITY
better than he. Always true to his
principles and his constituents and
never backward whenever the city OF
his adoption called upon him to espouse
her cause. There is no doubt, but that

contend with. The building Of the 500
road has been quite drag upon him.
as also many other business enterprises
that the public know little about, but
he is far from being the financial wreck
that that dispatch pictured him to be.
There is little hope of ever finding out
who the author Of that message was,
but the public are satisfied that it was
manufactured IN one of the two local
newspaper Offices, and the sooner these
correspondents for the New YORK
dailies confine themselves to facts,
which they can stand by, the better.

some of the many disadvantages Of
being a Catholic in ireland during the
penal laws, are summarized by a con-
temporary as follows: Q) The Cath
olic peers were deprived of their right
to sit in parliament: (2) Catholic gen.
tlemen could not be elected members
of parliament; 81 Catholics were de-
med the liberty of voting. and were ex-
cluded from all offices Of trust; ~ they
were fined $500 a month ior absence
from Protestant form Of worship: Isl
they were forbidden to travel FIVE miles
from their homas, to keep arms, to
maintain suits at law or to be guardians
or executors; (6) any two justices Of the
peace could call any man over sixteen
years of age before them and if he re-
fused to adjxre the Catholic religion
they could bestow his property on the
next of kin; (7) no Catholic could en-
ploy 8 Catholic schoolmaster to educate
his children, and if he sent his child
abroad for education he was subject to
a fine OF $500 and the child could not
inherit any property, either in England
or Ireland; (S) any Catholic priest who
came into the country should be hanged;
(9) any Protestant suspectlng any other
Protestant of holding property in trust
for any Catholic might file bill
against the suspected trustees and take
the estate or property from them; (10)
any Protestant seeing a Catholic tenant
at will on a fam, which in his opinion
welded one third more than the yearly
rent, might enter on that farm and by
simply swearing to the fact, take posses
sion; i11) any Protestant might take
away the horse Of a Catholic, no matter
what it's value, by simply giving him
$50; (12) horses and wagons belonging
to Catholics were in all cases seized for
the use OF the militia; (l3) anv Catho-
lie gentleman's child who became
Protestant could at once take possession
of the title of his fathers property.

WHEN the Parnell Commission re-
sumed it's work Tuesday, Sir Charles
Russell Informed the court that Mr..
Parnell had insructed him to no longer
represent him before the commission.
This action, on the part OF the Irish
leader, grew out of the action of the
opposing counsel in postponing Mr..
Parnell's re-examination for three
months. Mr.. Parnell asked the court
in person to have the cross-examination
taken up at once. But no satisfaction
was given him by the court. This is a
point on which all fair minded people
will agree viz: that the Parnell Com
mission was institututed to bankrupt
Parnell and all the Irish members who
syrnpathized with him. For months
this commission has been in session,
ostensibly for the purpose of proving
charges against the Irish Nationalists.
but for no other purpose than to de-
plete the Parnell defence fund. This
body had done its work when Pigott
threw up both hands and left the
country and afterwards committed
suicide. The charges had fallen fat, but
the Government, which was behind the
London Times to smirch the character
of Mr.. Parnell, refused to let go, and so
the case may continue before Justice
Hannen for many months vet. The
people of the civilized world however
have given their verdict and that is
strongly against the commission.

The underground conduit question
is still above ground and it's ghost is
frequently heard in the council cham ber
at the city hall. The Northwestern
Telephone Exchange Company refuses
to go into the Dorsett system, and now
wants to string wires overhead on street
corners and through alleys. There is
an ordinance which has never been re-
pealed, and which says that no wires
can be strung overhead after July 1,
1889, inside the fire limits. This Or
dinance the council committee on
underground conduits has seen fit to
overlook by giving the Telephone Com
pany the right to string wires overhead
for new subscribers. This is wrong.
This company has had as much time as
any Of the other companies to get it's
wires underground, but it refused to
use the Dorsett system because they
said it was no good, and they continued
postponing the matter until the lease
given them by the council had expired.
They had three years in which to get
their wires down, and they did nothing
There is no excuse for such unnecessary
delay, and the company is alone to
blame in the matter. 1t the council
had any backbone, 1t would see that all
these overhead wires disappear after
Dec. l next, as provided in the general
ordinance, or have the poles cut down.
Ii the latter were down the company
would make haste and do what it ought
to have done long since.
