McGolrick last Sunday with appropri-

is in charge of the sisters OF st. Joseph
ia conducted as all such hospitals are.
and the Catholics of Minneapolis have
reason to be proud Of this new addition

begun, however, and we hope that AL
Catholics in the city Will see that their
names are enrolled among the names OF
subscribers to this worthy institution
Here IS where every Catholic can 30
when sick and receive the attention OF
trained nurses and holy women. Money
is needed to complete the addition be-

the enlightened baud of Puritans enjoy.
The Committee of One Hundred is de
signed to save the country from the
grasp of the Pope The one hundred
patriots who thus laboriously sacrifice
themselves to the interests of their
native land, and with undaunted front

DESTROY Catholic schools. but failing

tack the Pope from another quarter.
Their purpose now Is to disfranchise
every Catholic in the land unless he
foreswears his allegiance to the Pope.

DAILY contemporaries.

Minneapolis Times: The increased
revenue shown by Chancellor Goschen's
budget is shown TO have come largely
from the increased consumption OF
alcoholic drinks, and the fact has thrown
the Tories into considerable Of furry,
especially as the chancellor in dlsposing
OF the estimated surplus next year has
favored the saloon element. The liquor
question is becoming the most serious
public problem of Great Britain, and
the remarkable showing of the last
budget will hardly fail to alarm the
morallsts of the nation.
Evening Tribune: The Pope's ex'
preston of friendship for America in a
recent interview with newspaper cor
RESPONDENT will be received with plea
sure by the people of this country. He
commends the freedom of religion in
the United States, and declares that his
only desire is to use his power for the
good of the whole people, Protestant
and Catholic alike. Such words as
these coming from the Vatican indicate
the vast extent and growing power and
permeatlng character of popular ideas.
1t is a power before which church and
state must both bow. .>....
Minneapolis Journal: Mr.. Parnell is
determined to defeat the Balfour land
bill if possible. 1t embodies the same
principle found in Mr.. Gladstone's
measure for the purchase of Irish lands
a few years ago, which Mr., Parnell ap'
proved. Probably Mr.. Parnell has come
to the conclusion, and a Eight one, that
none of these measures for setting up
the Irish tenants as land proprietors by
forcing the landlords 10 sell, are solu-
lions of Irish disabilities. That is not
what the Irish people want, so much as
to be relieved Of the present stupid
government of ireland by English
satraps, English soldiers and royal
:constabulary. There is no shadow OF
hope for Irish content until this load OF
injustice is taken off and the country is
left to manage its domestic affairs as
it sees 6t. The Irish people have
valuable fisheries on their coast; but no
is given them to utilize
them. The English government, which
will cali halt on the futile attempt to
COMPOSE the unrest Of Ireland, by a
continual interference with the domes-
tic affairs of the people, and which will
put them in the way Of industrial self
will have the credit of
solving the Irish problem.

THE Methodist ministers OF Mime.
apolls could not come together, talk and
adjourn without abusing someone.
Last Monday they met and OF course
some one had to get roasted so one
of the brothers turned in and accused
the old soldiers at the Home at Mime
haha of being more interested in card
playing and wbiskey drinking than in
religious observance. This was a nice
way for minister to talk particularly
as his accusation was based on hearsay.
Brother Burgess evidently did not for
get the drubbing Mr.. Vail gave him for
his false utterances the preceding
week, as he had not a word to say. Mr.
Grace, of the Minnehaha church, who
made the cowardIy attack on the poor
old soldiers, should know that if he
made his discourses interesting he
would have q better audience. People
DO not care to go to church and see a
minister read his sermon from manu-
script. Bro Brace YOU must brace up
and paw less attention to finances and
more time to your sermons.

CATHOLIC Columbian: One hundred

on the question Of changing the Pres
.byterlan Confession Of faith. Eighty
two OF them are i'll favor of the revision.
Eighty-six other presbyteries have yet
to express their opinion but the pros

Original of 1.-The Senator

Pittsburg Press Washington Letter.
Any one who has seen Comedian
Crane in "The Senator" would have
recognized the original in the Senate,
yesterday, when Preston B. Plumb, of
Kansas, was making gymnastic exbi-
bition and speech all at once. Crane, in
his play, has copied Plumb even to the
chin beard, but more in the excited
manner in which Plumb does business,
even in making speech. He goes at it
like man breasting the waves or bat
Ting against odds in a fight. All this
has been copied by Crane, and. while
on the stage the comedian is more
stylishly dressed than Senator Plumb
appears in everyday life, the resem-
blance can easily be traced. Yesterday
Senator Plumb was talking for the Okla
homa town-site bill, which had passed
the House, and he used up about TWEEN
ty square feet of the Senate floor in
making his words heard and his gest-
ures comprehended. He is not DELHI
crate, like his colleague, Ingalls,, who
probably never vets a hair while he
makes a speech. But, during the
speech and afterwards, Senator Plumb
absorbed the sweat from brow and neck
with a silk handkerchief, ard was as
much physically excited as if he had
been running foot-race.

Only a medicine possessed of extraordi-
nary merits could sustain itself under
such q business policy. The Golden
Medical Discovery is such a medicine,
and has proven its ability to sustain it's
proprietors, even though sold on such
extraordinary terms.
AS q remedy for all Blood. Skin and
Scalp Diseases, it has won for itself
world wide fame. Especially has it
manifested its potency in curing Salt
rheum, Eczema, letter, Pimples,
Blotches, Eruptions, old Scrofulous
Sores, Ulcers. and kindred ailments.
AS q remedy for the peculiar weak
nesses. distressing Irregularities, and
painful arrangements incident to
women, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription stands alone as the only rem
edy guaranteed to give satisfaction in
eUery case, or money paid for it is

1t is but natural that the people
should bestow their patronage upon
these medicines, since none other are
sold on such fair and liberal terms.
They are manufactured by the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association, of Buff
falo, N. Y, a house whose financial
standing and reputation for fair dealing
is well-known to every publisher, as
we'll as to every druggist, throughout
the civilized world.

ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS.

Frequent shipments Of carload lots
of DR.. Pierces Medicines, to all the
principal commercial centers of this
country, are necessary to supply the
unprecedented demand for these world
famed remedies. No other medicines
ever attained anything like the popu-
larity which they enjoy. No other
medicines possess such superior and
positive curative properties as to war
rant their manufacturers i'll selling
them, as the proprietors of DR.. Pierce's
Medicines are doing, through druggists,
under q positive guarantee Of benefit
or cure an eUery case, on fair trial, or
money refunded.
There are scores of sarsaparillas and
other blood medicines advertised, but
the Golden Medical Discovery" of DR..
Pierce is the only one ever backed up by
a positive guarantee from well-known
and thoroughly responsible house. The
conditions are, that, given fair trial, it
will do all that is claimed for it, or
money paid for it will be promptly re-
funded. A Certificate of Guarantee
wraps every bottle.
To attempt the sale of an inferior, or
even a fairly good, blood-purif1er under
such trying conditions as these. would
mean bankruptcy to its proprietors.
