THE lake season opened with rush
last Sunday, and all dav long the motor
line aid a rushing business, carrying
some 5000 people to lakes Calhoun and
Harriet. From the number Of people
who visited the lakes from South Min-
neapolis and who were forced to 90 by
way of Washington avenue, one could
see without the aid of glasses, the neces
s1ty of cross town line. Aid. Hansen
of the Eighth ward was the first man to
suggest such line, and we hope he will
not drop it now. The other members
os the council should support such
resolution without any hesitation what.
ever We would not ask that this line
be built this season, but as soon after
all the present lines are equipped with
electric cars as possible. This cross
town line should be ordered very soon
ana the company given reasonable time
to complete it after the other lines are
in operation. Who will introduce a
resolution in the council ON this at once?

some people are of the opinion shat
the Minneapolis Street Railway com
PAW does not propose to do ANYTHING
on their proposed electric lines this
season. Notwithstanding that the COM
pany is under contract with bonds at
tached to complete the First avenue
south and WASHINGTON avenue lines
this season. There need be no anxiety
about these lines. They will be built,
and work would have been begun
before now had the material arrived
sooner. Work Oh the First avenue
south line will be begun next week
The interurban line will also be built
and will be in operation before the Ex-
position opens. THESE are the only
lines that will be built this season. St.
Paul however will have several electric
lines to her credit when the snow flies.

CDR" Moore's damage suit against
Senator D. NJ. Clough fell through as
we expected. When the case came up
Tuesday the prosecution asked for a
continuance, hut the court saw the
point and then Moere's attorney was
forced to withdraw. No one ever be-
lieved there was any foundation for the
charges, anyway. and of course no one
was surprised at the result. There
should be some law for Furnishing men
who seek to besmirch the good name OF
respectable citizens because they cannot
draw monev out Of them. If there is
no law to punish such rascals there
ought to be. We congratulate Senator
Clough on his backbone in this case,
and only wish that others equally as
wealthy would handle such men as
Moore as Mr.. Clough did.

|: FATHER MCCANNA, of Joliet. gave
expression to very strong language
recently respecting public schools, in
fact we are inclined to think he was too
severe, but he was honest in his convic-
tions nevertheless and did not forget to
speak what he felt to be the truth. Be
cause he did this The Journal, of this
city, has taken him to task for his
utterances and declares he lis as pro-
nOunced an enemy Of our country and
it's institutions as the most blatant
anarchist in Chicago or New York. !"
II there has been any creed loyal to this
country it is that which Father Nc
Gamma espouses aud defends. The
nations history is proof of this, and
only prejudiced writer's, such as the
band wagon hero Of the Journal shows
himself to be, could speak in disparage-
hent>of Father McCanna's loyalty to
American institutions, however much
he may disagree with him upon the
public school question:. It will be time
enough to talk about disloyalty when
the Catholic Church and her schools,
instead OF being denounced by anar-
chists and socialists as they now are,
will be looked upon with favor as these
Two classes now look upon the public
schools. .

THK lowering of the Hastings & Da-
kota tracks is interesting the people of
the south and eastern sections of the
CITY now. This is something that ought
not to be allowed to 90 unsettled any
longer. The longer 1t is delayed the
more money it will cost. Seeing that
the representatives of the Milwaukee
road are anxious to meet the city half
way on this matter let the city do its
duty. It cannot afford to postpone &C
ton any longer. delays are danger
ous," and the aldermen who have charge
Of this matter should not hesitate to
give this question all the time it de-
serves. Let us hope that we will soon
see these tracks down where they ought
to have gone several years ago.

The expected opposition to the
Laurel avenue bridge did not material
ize in the council. That was right;
there was no reason for opposing such
an improvement, and the property
owners in tbs Bryn Mawr addition will
find it very convenient when built. No
opposition should be made to public
improvement. particularly If those ia

money for a number of years without

ADAMsON'S CONVICTION.

The ruling of the supreme courton the
ease of w. Fl. Adamson, the mortgage
loan agent convicted of forgery and sent
snced to the state penitent1ary for fifteen
months, was received with delight by
every one in Minneapolis who were
acquainted with Adamson and his pecu-
liar methods of doing business. A few
years ego Adamson started in the mort
gage loan business with small amount
Sof capital, and in few short years col
leoted enough money to handsomely en-
How university and have enough left to
Joy life with. All this money came
tsof the poor, the people who could
Cord Che least to spare 1t. Exorbitant
ates of interest were charged and paid
,ayold publicity and trouble Many a
3ppy home have such men as Adau1son
roken up and torn to pieces. 1t is a
good thing for Minneapolis that this man
has zone where he should have been
long ago. and now let the officials on
whose hands the prosecution OF these
criminals rest, not stop at putting Adam
som IN Saltwater. Let all these usurers
40 the same way. They are of no earthly
good to any one, but themselves, and
are an injury to the city that shelters
them. Adamson's conviction has broken
up dangerous band of robbers, and we
hope the band will never again organize.
If they do they will have to keep within
the bounds of justice and reason. Let
no man put his name to any petition
asking for Adamson's pardon. Fifteen
months are not enough for him, but as
NJ cannot give him any more, let him
complete his sentence. 1t will do him
gas we'll as others great deal Of good.

THIRTEEN HUNDRED EvlOTED

THIRTEEN HUNDRED EVlOTED.
The curtain has fallen on the last of
the Donegal evictions f>r the present,
and the scene of desolation, want and
death that remains, is too sickening for
any but Bloody Balfour and his band of
soulless soldiery and police to look upon.
Ireland has seen many trying times and
witnessed many heartless actions on the
part of England and her tyrannical gov
eminent, but the Donegal evlctions have
left darker spot on poor Ireland's face
than she has seen for many years. One
eviction is a terrible visitation to q
nelghborhood, but when we come to
consider that thirteen hundred people
have been rendered homeless because
they were unable to pay exorbitant rents,
we naturally ask ourselves the question,
what is going to become of these poor
people? Can humanity look on and en-
dure this much longer? It is surprising
that these people, robbed of all they
possessed in this world. can stand idly
by and not resent the injury. Old men
and women and infant children thrown
into the bitches and highways to starve
to death. How these unfortunate crea-
lures can endure such barbarous treat
ment without retaliating, is beyond our
comprehension. In silence they bear
their sufferings and we hear no COM
plant from them. For the love of the
cause that Par !" and his able lieuten-
ants are fighting for in London, and for
fear that any overt act might 1pjure Ire
lands chances, these homeless ones are
satisfied to suffer in silence and without
complaint. Is this not patriotism? Where
can we fird such noble examples of for
bearance? What pity that the civilized
world could not look down on Donegal
now and see the path of RUN and desola-
ton that worthless landlord has marked
out Landlordism in Ireland would
surely be doomed. Let us hope that the
government will stop evictions at least
until they have passed some measure of
relief for these poor people.

AS THE Canadian Orangemen have
not yet received letter from Emperor
William acknowledging the receipt of

curious, but fact all the same, that
fanaticism is on the increase in some
localities. y

PEOPLE should not be allowed to
throw paper, ashes and other material
on the streets indiscriminatelv as they
do. Such filth spoils the appearance of
our beautiful streets and ought to be
stopped. Minneapolis has very nice
streets and should not be made to serve
as back yards for some lazy people who
prefer throwing their sweeplngs there
to carving them to the rear of the
building where they belong.

BOSTON Republic: Balfour and

out the Wing ''cave" that follows Hart

CATHOLIC rs. PROTESTANT so uOOLs,

The school question continues to
agitate the minds Of some of our nom
| Catholic citizens to an alarming extent.
But there IS not so much fear for the
welfare of the public school at the bot
tom of this anxiety as one would sup
pose at first sight. The real cause of
all those anti Catholic sermons, and
anti-parochial school discourses, IS
simply an innate jealousy that must
come out, or cause blood poisoning. Ii
these non Catholics, who seem bent on
maligning their Catholic neighbers b.
cause of the ]atter's parish schools. had
as much respect for the public schools
as they would have their bearers believe
they have, they would Immediately clese
up their own schools and drive the
children therefrom into the public
schools. IF the Presbyterians of Min
neapolis see fit to MAINTAIN Bennett
seminary at a large expense, that is
their own business, and no Catholic in
MINNEAPOLIS, or Minnesota would dare
to interfere with them in the enjoyment
of it, WHY then will certain non. Cath
olics of Minneapolis and St. Paul, con-
tinua to vilify Catholics because they
see fit to build, equip and maintain
their own schools at their own expense?
We will 20 step further and say that
the Catholic schools, notably the con-
vent schools, are far superior to the
Protestant schools, and portion should
be maintained untraueled and free. as
they will in spite of the SO called pro.
moters Of education who want to see
them closed up. Some of our contem-
poraries may for argument sake differ
with as in our assertion that the con-
vent schools of America are superior to
any others, but we will simply inquire
how it is that so many Protestant
fathers and m others would not think of
sending their children to any other
school than the convent school? It is
because they are better cared for, more
thoroughly instructed in science, liter
allure, music and other necessary ac-
complishments than in Protestant
schools. This is the best weapon that
such schools can use in their defense.
The bigoted Protestant no doubt might
wish things different, but it cannot be.
While the Catholic people of America
are willing to live and let live, there is
40 reason why the Protestant element
should not feel likewise. Religious
bigotry does no good; 1t engenders III
feeling. creates imaginary grievances.
and sows the seeds Of discord. Drive.
il out Of the country; II has no place
here.
