THE TIMES AT IT AGAIN.

The Minneapolis Times on Monday
agt devoted one half column to another
attack on the Catholics and their sup
nosed position on the public schools.
The Times does not take kindly to the
idea of being called an anti Catholic
organ. and goes on to say that it IS op-
posed to Catholics only because OF their
demands for a share of the public
school funds. TEE IRISH STANDARD
in it's last issue said that the Catholics
have made no demand for share OF the
public school fund, and it says so again.
But the Times thinks that because
some members Of the Catholic Church
have called for such a division that all
Catholics feel the same way. 1t points
with considerable pride to the address
4 Of Judge Dunno on this subject before
the Baltimore congress last winter,
wherein that~gentleman favored divi-
sion Of the public school fund, but very
wisely refrains from quoting from the
address Of William L. Kelly Of st. Paul
on the same subject, who was opposed
to any such legislation. Why then did
the Times not quote from Mr.. Kelly 8
paper? Simply because it did not suit
it's purpose. If the Times had said
that some Catholics Of the United States
favored division Of the public school
fund. it would have published the truth
and would not Lave left itself open to
be termed an anti Catholic organ. The
Catholics do not fear any honorable
criticism from the Times or any other
paper, but when 1t resorts to improper
and untruthful statements to carry its
/ point we deem it our duty to call it by
its right name. when the Catholics Of
/ America make such demand as the
Times says they have. it can publish
the fact without fear Of contradiction.
The Times reasons that because Judge
Dunno favored a division of tbs public
l school money that all Catholics thought
likewise. It is poor logic to argue from
81 particular to a universal, but that
makes very little difference with the
Times as long as ii thinks it can gain a
point. Not satisd I'D with this strange

That Of j. F. Mcclure IN Accepting the
Presidency of the O. 7. A. q.
J. F. Mcclure, Of st. Paul, who was
chosen President, at the Saltwater con-
vention, Of the O. T. a. Union of the
archdiocese of ST. Paul, addressed the
assembled delegates briefly but neatly as
follows in accepting that position:
There is but one circumstance that
could command my presence in Still
water at the present time, and that one
thing is the c. T. A. u. OF Minnesota
I stand in danger of being committed
for contempt of court in st. Paul at the
present time. But that. danger has no
terror for me on an occasion like this,
for this is the occasion Of a life time. 7
will not say that I am surprised at your
action to-day, for, though greatly pleased
I am not surprised. have heard from
many Of the delegates present as we'll as
from prominent men throughout the
Union, that when the time came. and
am sorry thatit came SO soon, when John
O'Brien would no longer consent to act
IN that honorable capacity, that I would
be selected to act as his successor. have
never sought office nor honors IN any
walk Of life, and for these reasons I am
uaore than gratif I'd with your decision.
Toe time is now at hand when it is no
easy task to properly discharge the duties
OF this high Office. After three conse-
cutive years of successful work by my it,
lustrious predecessor, am aware that
much is expected of me. I will make no
promises now and if I make none there
will be none to break. I will simply say
that will honestly endeayor to do my
duty. I believe there is no more inn
portant work for Catholic men to per-
form than is to be done in this T.. A.
Union, believe there is oway 50 we'll

try's happiness, slaughtered in their
own country. and that Zoo BY their own
people. There was a time in England
when to refuse to follow the leader
meant more than it does to-day. This
narrow escape OF the government shows
very clearly the strong feeling that IS
growing in England in favor Of a more
liberal form Of government, and more
Christian.like Irish policy. The people
OF England are not devoid of feeling BY
any means, and they are coming to
understand that the unsettled state of
affairs in Ireland is not due, as Balfour
alleges to the raisiag Of too many chill
dren but to the men who sit in West
minister. The English people for the
most part are anxious for q settlement
of the land question, sand they are be-
ginning to see that that cannot ba ac-
complished By bavonet and buckshot
The Tory government however does not
propose to settle this question. All thew
care for is power. Though pledged to
a land bill and home rule for Ireland
before the last election, they have
studiously avoided both. True they
formulated land bill that if passed
would put the Irish farmers in a worse
condition than what they are to day;
while the landlords would be much
better fixed than they are now. Many
of these landlords are over head and
ears in debt and unless such measure
as Balfour recently proposed is passed
they will be forced to live on the charity
of their friends or go to the poor houses
AS the latter have little charity it is
safe to say that a majority of the bank
rupt ones ould be forced to enter the
poor houses. It the government can
not count on any more than a majority
of four to carry it along, for two years
more, it might as we'll resign and thus
escape the ignominy of being kicked
out in the near.future.

that the Dean and Chapter Of West

Of their brethern Of St. Paul's by res

formation. The Protestant press is
furious over the new proposed departure

THE TORIES MARROW ESCAPE.

The Salisbury government is in any,
thing but a happy state of mind now.
Their narrow escape a few evenings
ago on the lcease bill was an eye
opener for them which thew were ill
prepared for. But like their predeces-
sors, though expecting a falling off in
their support they would not do the
graceful by withdrawing the bill in
time. The leaders of course supposed
that the government whips were too
strong to be overruled, and when the
bill came up for It's second reading the
government found itself in bad shape
with only a majority of four. This
was naturally the signal for long and
boisterous applause which the opposi
ton INDUCED in to It's hearts content.
It was poor news for Lord Salisbury,
and according to cablegrams sent out
the following day. he was much cast
down in consequence. Balfour, who is
credited with having considerable
nerye, could not suppress his anxiety;
and Leader Smith confessed that while
he looked for opposition to the bill in
the government ranks, he was not pre-
pared for such a black eye. When the
result reached the house Of lords there
was weeping and crashing of teeth, =
and MANY ext kessed themselves very
strongly against pushing the measure
any farther None enjoYed the govern
merits discontinue better than the
Irish members. They were peased to
see the great enemy Of freedom and
progress, beaten at its own game By its
own friends. and the result Was every
where hailed with delight. Not so
much because of the virtual defeat Of
the bill, as the disme mberment Of the
government. That was the point that

LORD sALISBUKY'S DILEMMA.

# Following tu0 vlTCudl u6l6dG VI buS
Tory government in England, came the
announcement from Sails
bury that he had coded all the rights
that England held In Hellgoland to
Germany. This was as unexpected as
it was foolish from an English stand
point, and instead of being congratu
lated for his good Judgment as he ex-
pected Lord Salisbury was denounced
on all sides. OF course the denounce-
ment was not universal by any means
for tie men who owe their positions and
rank in England to Salisbury could not
but approve Of the conveyance. This
element however is, SO far as Salisbury
is concerned, in the minority, and can
do but little to counterfeit the bitter
feeling that has arisen against the head
of the government. The opposition to
Sal1sbury's latest move is based on the
fact that there are number of English
people in Helig0land who are opposed
to becoming subjects of Emperor Wills
liam: First because they are English
We know, and secondly because they do
not like the idea of seeing their sons
forced to join the German army. The
latter OBJECTION is very natural indeed.
and we cannot blame the English inha-
bitants of Heligoland from protesting
against Salisbury's latest scheme to
himself and his party. Con-
trary to his expectations the people of
England as whole do not think any
more of Salisbury now than they did
before he made this bad break. On the
contrary they are much displeased with
him. He is being denounced on all
sides, and he does not what to do to
save himself and party. The English
Liberals are makidg the most of this
unfortunate STEP. and they are telling
their friends, and enemies alike that if
Salisbury is permitted to remain at the
khe head Of affairs much longer. their
much talked of empire will soon be
attached to some European power.
The steps we say Was unfortunate for
Salisbury but we must add here that
1t was a fortunate one for the Home
Rule party. 1t was great blessing for
Gladstone and his followers, and
will work to the injury Of the Tory
party. There are many of Sallsbury's
followers who do not approve of parting
with Heligoland, and to ensure their
re election cannot of course stand by
him in this. Torn to pieces as the
leaders Of the Tory party are now. it
will be an easy task to remove them
from their once impregnable strong
hold. Another bright ray of hope for
poor Ireland rests here. She sees her
enemies lighting among themselves,
and naturally enough is pleased. Ire
land has long since learned to look for
nothing while peace and happiness pre-
vailed in the ranks Of the oppressor.
by the result on the second
reading of the license bill, and seeing
her enemy attacked from another quar-
ter she is doubly hopeful of getting
for herself. All friends of
good government aud national freedom
cannot but feel pleased at the dilemma
Lord Salisbury and his party find them
selves in.

POKER FOR BIG STAKES.
