THE Behring Sea troubles are still
with us and may result IN an alterca-
ton between the United States and
England. CONGRESS will consider the
correspondence on this matter this
week and take some action. as can be
seen from a Washington dispatch of
July IL which reads: Chairman HIT, Of
the foreign affairs committee, expected
to receive this afternoon in response to
his resolution all the correspondence
bearing on the Behring sea question,
but about 3 O'Clock he was informed
that 1t would be several DAYS at least
before the correspondence would be in
shape to transmit to the house. The
correspondence is volumlnous and con-
tains over 100 pages Of closely printed
matter. Canada is mixed up in the
question and it is about her right that
England is kicking. 1t is serious
question and from what member said

the meeting of the colored Catholics in
national convention July III, resolutions
passed recommending that night
schools be established for cOl0red chill

trade; that the sisters be assisted in
educating colored orphans; that in

men form conferences of the Society Of

TO HONOR LORD RANDY.

The latest news from England IS tha5
Lord Randolph Churchill is to be ap'
pointed leader OF the Commons in place
of w. Ell. Smith. This is regarded as
very good indication Of the govern
ment's uncertain position. "Randy'

Salisbury men some time ago, when
they thought they had strength enough
in the Commons and in the Lords to do

necessary to overhaul the cabinet. and
instil new life into it. Lord Randolph
is to be appeased with the leadership.
and q dozen other changes must be
made to keep the party from going un.
der. The government is working against
great odds. Besides the Irish question,
which the English members OF Doth
houses are anxious to see settled, there
is the knotty foreign policy OF the gov
eminent which is nauseating to all Eng
liahmen. In some foreign matters,
Salisbury has moved very cautiously;
while IN others there has been a grave
lack of diplomacy. 1t is ON the latter
issue that the government is going to
find it difficult to tide over this session
of parliament. The sbreWdest polltl
clans IN England to day admit that the
government is in ''hard lines" and ven
ture the opinion that it will collapse be
fore long. 1t cannot collapse any TOO
soon to suit the liberty loving people OF
America. The Tory party is relic

A TERRIBLE STORM.

The cyclone that visited Lake City
last Sunday was unparalleled in the his
tory of disasters OF It's kind in the
Northwest. 1t was terrible cata-
strophe, and will be long remembered
nv the people Of Minnesota. A few
wears ago cyclones were unknown in
Minnesota, but we naturally look for
them now. 1t may be that there were
destructive cyclones in our state several
wears ago, but owing to the fact that it
was not as we'll settled up as it is now,
they were not heard Of. A great many
naople have so MANY different ideas
about the terrible loss of life and how it
con,d all have been averted had certain
things been done, that we're not done.

MINNEAPOLIS Tribune. ''Old Moral
ity." as irreyerent radicals have been
wont to call the Rt. Hon. William
Henry Smith, is to be translated from
the House of Commons to the peerage.
according to the cable gossip. AS Tory
leader on the government bench he has
outliyed his usefulness. The round
faced. plebian old news-agent has al
ways seemed a curious anomaly as chief
of the conservative host in daily war
fare with a party whose leader is Will
liam Ewart Gladstone. The two men
form strange contrast. Gladstone, the
brilliant figure, an aristocrat by birth,
education and natural superiority,
leads "the Masses in their fight for
equal rights against 1.-THE classes;" and
he has always steadfastly refused to be
made lord. Smith, Of plebian origin,
the very embodiment in mind and APP
pearance Of the commonplace, wholly
lacking in the distinction that is sup
posed to pertain to the nobleman, has
been faithful political lackey on the
conservative side for so long. and has
worshipped the aristocracy so devoutly,
that at last he is to be made lord him
self. Lord Randolph Churchill is
rumored to have been selected as Mr..
Smiths successor. The Marquis OF
Harrington was wanted in the cabinet
and would have been accorded the
leadership of the House; but the noble
Marquis was not ready to take the full
step. He prefers to support the gov
eminent from the opposite side of the
chamber. Hekeeps up the pretense of
a Liberal Union party Of which ne is
chief. and he continues to usurp a seat
on the front opposition bench, with
Gladstone, Harcourt and the real Liber-
ais. It must be proud day for Lord
Randolph. He resigned q place Id this
same cabinet of Lord Salisbury's few
snort years ago. and the Tories thought
they did not need him. Now they are
begging him to take Office again; and
their attitude means a humble surrender
on many points. All this Tory pertur-
baton is sweet amusement 10 the Lib

WE are glad to learn that the state
lunacy commission, consisting of DR..
Fl. w. Brazie. of Minneapolis. DR..
Briggs, of st. Paul, and DR.. Collins. of
st. Peter, have finished an inspection of
thu Rochester and st. Peter insane
asylums. and found everything in good
order. DR.. BraEie's talk on what he
saw is very promising and for the bene~
fit of our readers we submit it here:
The result of our investigation is very
encouraging. In our report, to be sub
mitted to the governor in a day or so,
we have only few recommendations to
make. We shall recommend that the
amusement halls at each asylum be
detached from the asylum proper; that
is to say in separate buildings. The
same plan will also be suggested with
regard to the laundries, with a view to
better sanitary conditions. We shall
also recommend that an extra appro-
priation be made for the purpose of
putting more ornamentation in and
about the building. Those are about
all the improvements we can suggest.
So far as we could determine, the In
mates are treated we'll. The food given
the patients is good enough for any
body. We heard no complaints. 1 was
surprised at the very small number of
patients who are under restriction or
restraint, which, of course, is necessary
in the case of the violent ones. Not
over per cent of the Rochester in
mates are kept under restraint, that is,
locked in their rooms or tied in their
chairs. Less than 2 Der cent of the
patients at St. Peter are so treated.
Such precautions are absolutely neces-
sary in the cases of the raving maniacs.
The present condition of the asylums is
very encouraging" The state however
cannot watch these places too closely
and the oftener such inspectio Ms are
made by this committee the better.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND'S ADDRESS.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND'S ADDRESS.
Our National Educational Associa-
ton has met, done it's work and adj
journed, aud one of the grandest
features Of that body, was the able ad-
dress delivered by Archbishop Ireland.
He took for his subject 1.-The State
School and the Parish Schools Union
Between them Impossible" The ad-
dress was perhaps the most lucid and
instructive that has ever been delivered
on this subject IN the Northwest. The
argument that anti Catholics have used
for long time against us when dis
cussing education is: that we are op
posed to education and the like, was
torn to pieces by the Archbishop 80
effectively that applause greeted him
almost at the close of every sentence.
He showed how fallaclous the argu-
ment that Catholics were the enemies
of the state schools by euJogizipg them
as no mont Catholic has ever done before.
.sI am the friend and the advocate of
the state school. In the circumstances
of the present time I uphold the parish
school. I do sincerely wish that the
need OF it did not exist. would have all
schools for the children of the people
state schools.'' Does this language
sound like that of an enemy of the pub
llc schools? Certainly it does not. 1t
speaks for the state school, and deplores
the fact that the parish school is q
necessity. The archbishop pays his
compliments in direct wav to those
people who have seen fit to publish
broadcast, falsehoods concerning the
position of Catholics on the Bennett
law. According to them the Catholics
of the United States were opposed to
compulsory education, and were there.

THE INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION.

The Minneapolis Exposition, which
will open next month, will be one OF the
grandest affairs of its kind ever seen In
the United States. The principal
feature of this much looked for treat
will be the Edison exhibit-same as was
seen at the Paris Exposition. There.
where the worlds wonders were
gathered together, nothing eqaal;ed the
Edison exhibit. It was simply mar
yellous. and everyone who saw it in
Paris. and those who have since seen it
in the Lenox LYceum, in New York,
pronounce it one of the grandest things
they ever saw. The Electric World
published in New York has splendid
article in it's June number on this ex
hibit. which we will all see next month.
In long article on the treat in store
for us this paper says: "The main
feature of the Minneapolis Exposition
will be the Edison exhibit from the
Paris Exposition. This has lately been
seen to great advantage in the Lenox
Lyceum, in New York city; but at MIN
neapolis it will! be very considerably en-
larged and extended. In the
centre of the great hall Of the Minneap
oils Exposition will DO erected large
electric light tower, IS feet in height,
and of corresponding diameter. Sur
rounding this tower will be a pool of
water, with all the usual effects of
landscape-hills. marsh, lake, etc. A
circular track. constructed either on the
inner or outer edge of the lake, will
give opportunity for running train of
cars by means of Ferret motor, The
tracks will run through tunnels, over
trestles, up and down grade, and on the
level" The tower will be handsome
affair. 1t Will be literally covered with
electric lights of different colors. and
no doubt will be something far superior
to what we anticipate. Manager Regan
has spared neither money, time nor
pains in getting this wonderful exhibit
for our coming show, and the other
electrical displays will no doubt be very
handsome Already is the secretary
crowded with applications for space
from outside parties, and many are ap'
plying for admission that never applied
before. OF course Minneapolis manu-
facJures must not be shelved to obllge
people from outside the city. But the
building is a large one and will accom-
modate large number. Now that the
time is fast approaching when outsiders
will be focking in numbers to see the
opening of our great show, would 1t not
be we'll for the city authorities to try
and have our streets put in as decent
shape as possible? The lluminations OF
Nicollet avenue, which added SO much
in past years TO the success Of the Elk
position, should not be allowed to run
on until the last week Or two. Some
action should be taken on this matter at
once. The city council could do worse
than consider these important matters
at their next meeting. Let the daily
papers punch the aldermen up little.
aud when once started we may look for
something.
