Nebraska Liquor Men Attempt to Kill
Another Sioux City Preacher.
A Sioux City letter to The Lever says;
The contemplate, vulgar depravity Of
the liquor scum of Covington, Neb., the
high license den across the river, which
formerly infested this city, has turned
loose again. Prohibitionists are not strong
enough to enforce the statutes, and they
must become the common prey of the

any violation of the liquor law.

dock, who was shot down.in cold blood
in this city by saloon assassins in August,
1885, because he wanted Prohibition to
prohibit. Mr.. Southwen has been active
in prosecuting "joint'' keepers and is a
'sader in the Law and Order league,
which is the same organization with
which Rev. Mr.. Haddock was connected
at the time of his murder Late last

We regret to see In a st. Paul
newspaper, that has lately joined the
press of our state, a criticism In
terms that simply amount to abuse,
of a new enterprise undertaken by
Messrs. Cautier de st. Croix,
walker & Co., of this city. Mr..
Gautier de St. Croix, who was per.
soually attacked has submitted to
Ehe Herald satisfactory proofs and
sndOrsPnents of the very close
connection and confidence which his
SEFm enjoys of the leading grain houses
ia the old country, as well as pro.
Rfnent firms in our Eastern states.
Ever since this gentleman's drst
visit 30 this state, his efforts have
been devoted to their present object
of getting our splendid spring wheat
nearer to the old country markets.
Certainly such efforts merit decent
recognition here, at least, for their
public service, rather than petty
carping and abuse. Whatever their
measure of success shall prove to be
their aim is surely in the right
direction. For this reason we
account the action of the journal
above referred to most ill-advised
and inhospltabfe in attacking this
energetic and enteTpFising pioneer of
new order of things for the benefit
of the wheat growers of the North
west. Anything in the direction of
reducing the cost of handling and
improving relations between English
markets and Duluth, must naturally
lie of particulars interest to our. city,
for this will more than anything else,
tend toincrease the proportion of the
wheat crop, which will be moved to
onr market. We have only: good
wishes therefore for the success of
tl,e promoters of this good work. -

FATHER MATHEWS DAY.

The Irish Catholic Benevolent Union Jour
nal Calls for Followers.
Many total abstinence societies cele-
brated April 10 as Father Mathews
Pledge day. What did they do that for?
Don't they know that Father Mathew
took the pledge from Protestants? Don't
it seem an odd thing to be remembering
after fifty-two years the taking Of q
pledge of total abstinence by Catholic
priest? Why it was such astrange thing
in Ireland at that time that the whole
island was wonderstruck and fell to its
knees and took the pledge from the first
Irish priest known to have done such q
strange thing.
While the people were on their knees
the religious ones were denouncing the
pledge priest as fanatic, crazy man.
Crank" seems not to have been a known
word then, or else they would have used
it. They took mighty good care, how
ever, that he didn't get to be bishop.
Religion would have terribly suffered,
you know, If such a mind lacking priest
as he was should have been placed over
other priests.
And after all these years and all the
prattlings about Father Mathew it
would be Just as odd a sight to sss
r. st take the pledge Of fetal abstinence
as, it was in Ireland in 1889. They
prsach and practice Temperance" just
as he did Fand with the same result
little. A priest must get dowr N his
knees and show the people how to do. -
A father must show the way to his
children, else talk is tattle and children
don't mind nor respect the advice.
The first lesson Of Father Mathews
public life is: Don't be afraid Of Protest
ants. They and God gave Father Mathew
to us Catholics. So God loves Protestants
and uses them to do his work. They are
his children. They were doing their
Fathers work or he would not have
blessed their efforts to get priest Of his
church to do work for the people most
faithful to that church.
Father Matthew began as temper
ance" man. He became total abstainer.
He got millions to follow him. He be-
came Prohibitionist and declared that
it seemed the only sure and certain
remedy" Let millions follow him. We
have, and we glory in til CD. q.
