Cardinal Newman Passes Away at His
Home in England.


Cardinal Newman, the famous Roman
Catholic prelate of England, is dead. He
had been in poor health for some time, for
several years being unable to occupy his
pulpit in the Oratory Church at Birming-
ham. He was 90 years old at the time of
his death. For many years he was a
clergyman of the Established Church
of England, but in October, 1S45,
he seeded from the Established Church,
was received into the Roman communion,
and was, after being ordained priest,
appointed head of the OratOry of ST..
Philip Neri at Birmingham. In 1854 he was
appointed rector of the newly founded
Catholic University in Dublin, but resigned
that post in 1858, and established a school
for the sons of Roman Catholic gentry at
Edgbaston, near Birmingham. DR.. Newman
was elected an honorary Fellow of Trinity
College, oxford, Dec. 2S, 1877. He was pro-
claimed Cardinal Deacon by Pope Leo XIII.

PARTISAN MEASURES.

The Republicans will not only afford
the Democrats abundant standing
ground for still more effective work in
battering down the tariff incub us, but
are determined to enact all the purely
partisan measures that promise them
advantage. The committee has in
dorsed, and it is given out as the party
purpose to pass, one of the bills to take
substantial control of congressional
elections. The point about which they
are chiefly concerned is the provision
modifying the late redistricting of the
legislatures in Ohio and Maryland. 1t
is probable that in both cases the
changes were partisan and of doubtful
prOpriety, although warranted by Re-
publican precedents. In Maryland one
more Democrat is expected to be
elected and ten more in Ohio. This
would make change of twenty-five in
the relative vote of the parties in the
house, and that is more than all the
new states to be found can compensate.
They will have but twenty-four major
ity when they vote in all the contestants
they have decided upon. 1t will hardly
be a disadvantage to the Democrats
if this arbitrary measure is pushed
through. 1t will be additional evidence
to the country that the Republican lead
ers have no regard for presidents and
fair dealing when their control is in
volved. The Democrats can gain sew
eral members in Ohio and elect suffi-
cient majority i'll the next congress on
the old basis. But each congress is the
judge of its action as regards member
ship. If state elects by different dis
tricts than those prescribed by congress
the applicants may be admitted to seats
if the next congress sees fit. 1t cannot
be bound by the action of predecessor
in detail of this character. The &C ton
of congress in this matter will probably
be recognizedin the states affected, how
ever arbitrary and unwarranted, but it
will be load for the Republicans in the

A NEW WRINKLE.

The New York World has. in its on
slant attempts to parade new freaks.
struck a feature that has considerable
possibilities in it. Its Interview with
Senator INGALLS, is illustrated with
twenty or more poses of the senator
taken by instantaneous photography,
showing the attitudes and facial ex-
presSiOnS that the facile actor assumes
in varied phases of sentiment and emo
ton. He is contortionist physically
as we'll as intellectually, and this light
ming artist has caught his precise move
ments with fidelity. This is the theor y
at least, but it is quite as probable that
the senator did the posing aside from
the interview, and dictated the labels
for them. The topics presented cover
about all the governmental problems of
this world, with complimentary refer
ences to the Almighty, whom the sena-
tor seems to credit with a degree of
wisdom. There is no intimation, how
ever, that the Kansas oracle has any
limitation to his visual scope.

FUNNY. YET SERIOUS.

The fellow who found himself be-
tween the devil and the deep sea had a
happy lot in comparison with the China
man who is cooped up on the Niagara
suspension bridge, with the Canadian
police on one side and the United States
officials on the other, refusing him adj
mission to either country. Our dis
patches tell how he attempted to pass
over to Canada without certain receipt,
OF the requisite wherewith to obtain
one. He was accordingly turned back
by the Canadian authorities, but having
passed the middle of the river he found
himself outside of United States terri
tory and is unable to return on account
Of the Chinese exclusion laws. So there
he is on the bridge, where he will prob
ably have to stay until doomsday, I'M
less the Chinese government comes to
his rescne. tits funny predicament, and
yet, in spite of its righteousness, pre-
sents one of the gravest international
problems that has arisen in years.
What to do with that Chinaman is a
question that neither the British or the
United States government can answer,
SO queer are the Mclean mans laws.
1t is still more serious problem with
the Chinaman himself what to do with
himself. A single pig-tail arrayed
against the two most powerful nations
of the earth hasn't ghost of a chance.
To precipitate himself from the bridge
and to fall in the seething waters below
at the exact spot where the boundary
line passes, will be difficult job for a
heather who has no knowledge of
geography. But 1t is his only avenue
of escape. 1t is singular instance of
how the operations of terrestist laws
may sometimes hammer Celestial.

UNPARDONABLE.

The custom of paying respect to the
memory Of the honored dead is older
than civilization itself. So strong is
this sentiment in human nature that
even the barbarians observe it. There
fore, it is all the more painful to find a
newspaper in this our nineteenth CEN
fury civilization guilty of such dis
respect to the memory of noble gentle
man as was manifested in an editorial
paragraph in the st. Paul Evening Dis
patch of yesterday, rejecting upon
Hon. EUGENE M. WILSON and his
association with the Democratic party.
There is, or at least there ought to be,
limit to the rancor of partisan journal
ism. To say meaner things of man
when he is dead than was dared
to be said of him while he
was living, is an exhibition OF
ghoulish propensities that is beyond
all federation; and particularly of a
man who was the embodiment of per-
sonal purity and political integrity.
So far from being a figure head" in
politics, MIR. WILSON occupied a pos
ition Of influence in the ranks of the
Minnesota Democracy equaled by few,
and surpassed by none. The recognition
of his leadership in party affairs was
too often attested during his lifetime to
be made matter of dispute after his
death. The malicious slur cast upon
the Democracy of this state by the Dis
patch does not merit consideration, but
the scurrilouS reflection upon the
memory of the late leader of our State
Democracy deserves a singing rebuke.

HE SOLD HIS TEETH.

Having Nothing to Eat They Are
ofNo Use, So He Said.
Philadelphia North American.
A South street pawnbroker was
amazed on Saturday when a poorly
dressed man walked in, and. putting his
hand to his mouth. drew forth nice
looking set of false teeth. which he laid
on the counter.
"Well, what is it," gasped the pawn
broker. when he recovered his breath.
.sWhat can get on Temp? said the man
carelessly nodding toward the teeth.
"What! on your teeth?
Eyes. on my teeth
"Why, man, you won't be able to eat"
II know that
'You do, eh?"
Eyes, perfectly. I can't get anything
to eat. Consequently my teeth are of no
use to me. IT'S true might keep them
for ornamental purposes, but being a
poor man l can't afford that. Then
again. when l get angry l might in
dictate that such was the fact by show
ing my teeth but, alas, that doesn't
pay either"
As the shades of night began to fall

were still negotiating, the man trying to
argue the superior quality of the molars
and the paWnbrOker persuaSively PROV
ing that teeth were really drug in the

A GERMAN STATE.

The discussion in Wisconsin over the
BENNETT law calls out interesting in
formation as to the origin of the
population of the state. The last
census shows 1S9,469 foreign born
voters to 149,463 natives. A great
portion of the natives had alien born
parents, though the number is not
stated. Of the population 91O,073 were
natives and 4O5, 425 OF foreign birth, but
$685. had both parents foreign born.
This is large majority of the entire
population. Germany is very largely in
the lead in Wisconsin. Those born in
Germany or having German fathers
number 63O,96O, but a trife less than
one-half the entire population. Those
of Scandinavian blood count 16S,So3.
Those of British origin, including the
provinces, ale POS. Isl: of Irish, 173, SO5.
The native Yankee stock is of small
numerical account. That state probably

TT DI DN;T PASS.

The statement that the bill intro
duced by the Democrats in the Iowa
legislature TO inaugurate the Australian
system in that state had become law
was unhapplly premature. 1t passed
the house, with all the Democr attic
votes and three-fourths of the Repub-
licans, and there seemed little doubt
that it would pass the senate, although
tire Republicans had six majority there.
1t did not, however. 1t was smothered
by the Republican committee. Per-
haps some paper of that party will find
in this additional evidence that it is the
especial champion of ballot reform and
the Democrats are opposed to it. In
state addicted to high grade principles,
as.the Republican platforms in that state
indicate, there is probably less need of
restrictions upon methods of voting
than in other states: still the Democrats

bowling storm to save a passenger train.
for the bridge had been swept away by
torrent, says the Chicago Tribune.
Poems were written on the episode,
pictures appeared III the illus
trated papers, and innumerabe
paragraphs were written about the her
oine. 1t is said that she saved the rail-
road company $4,000 or more in prop
erty, to say nothing about what they
might have been called upon to pay for
lives lost and passengers injured.
To-day Miss Shelley is the sole sup
port of widowed mother and three
small children. and they are living in a
heavily mortgaged home, which is their
only property. Three years ago she
risked her life for others. and her re-
ward is chiefly the consciousness of
brave and successful deed. The rail-
road company gave her small reward,
less than the value of one of the cars
which she saved, and the passengers,
whose lives were preserved by her act,
have entirely forgotten her.
