JAMES REDPATH.

We publish to-day q we'll merited
eulogy on James Redpath. For many
years Mr.. Redpath represented the New
York Tribune in Ireland. and those who
read his letters on ireland will never
forget the true pictures that he drew OF
the condition of the Emerald Isle. It
was in 1879 that he went abroad in the
interest of his paper. and from the day
he landed in Ireland until the day ne
left, never to return, he was the recip-
lent Of many favors at the hands OF the
Irish people. He deserved it all, for he
was the best newspaper man that the
American press had ia Ireland at that
time He made thorough study OF the
manners. customs and wants OF the Irish
people, and he was not slow to let the
readers of the New York Tribune see
them almost as wildly as he saw them
himself. He was thorn in the side of
the landlords, and had it not been for
the fact that he was ain American citizen,
and represented one of the leading pa
pers of the United States. he doubtless
would have spent more time in prison.

THE Minneapolis street railway COM
papy has got gentlemanlY lot Of con-
ductors and moUoneers, but the com
panY evidently does not appreciate
them. Every now and then the ccm.
pany issues new orders to it's employees
which in some particulars are very
severe. We refer to the order recently
issued to conductors to purchase their
uniforms from the company's tailor,
who by the way charges $l8 a suit.
The boys claim they can purchase as
good suits elsewhere for $l2. and that it
is not justice to compel them to pay $6
additional to the official tailor. OF
course this IS not right. If the conduc-
tors must wear uniforms, they should
be allowed to procure them wherever
they can get them the cheapest. The
company should not force them under
pain of dismissal to go to a particular
tailor when they can do better in some
other place. MIR. Goodrich could revoke
that order and not cripple the service
in the least. 1t looks as if some one
was getting a rake. off. Who IS it?

So WE are going to have a central
market. Well that is good news indeed.
At the last meeting of the city council
the finishing touches were put on the
ordinance. and now all that remains to
be Gone is to let the contracts and begin
the erection of the buildings. r. B.
Walker, Minneapolis most enterprlslng
citizen, is behind the project, and that
is all that is necessary to insure its COM
pletion in the shortest possible time.
We want central market, and now we
are going to have one worthy of the
name. The present market house on
Bride Square has long since become too
small for the demands made upon 1T,
and the only way to remedy the evil is
to build new one. We are glad to
know that we will have that new
market in a short time.

THOMAS LOWRY returned from the
East during the week, and talked more
politics to the square inch than he has
done since last fall. He is confident
that Blaine and Cleveland will head the
Republican and Democratic tickets IN
1872 and that Blaine will be elected; he
also thinks that Major Mckinley, he of
robber tariff fame. will defeat Campbell
for governor in Ohio. We never sup

that he is not, when we see him make
such foolish predictions. If Blaine is

STORMS IN IRELAND.

just aa the people Of Ireland were
about to gather in their harvest terrific
wind and rain storm swept over the
country. destroying thousands OF acres
Of oats, barley and potatoes. In many
places the hay crop was carried away
completely. This is very bad news
from Ireland indeed, and we trust later
reports will put more encouraging
color Oh the state Of affairs. It is un-
fortunate that the best crops ireland has
had FOR many years should be 80 de-
stroyed. Dispatches from Waterford
confirm the report that the River Bar
row overlooked it's banks and carried OFT
large quantity Of grain and hay. Re-
ports from the north Of ireland show
that much damage was done by wind in
that province to standing grain. In
xaany places the potato fields are
inundated and it is feared that before
the potatoes can be got out they will
have rotted. Up to the time
that this storm swept over the coun-
try the crops were in splendid condition.
The fax crop was better than it has been
before in ten years, while the cat, bar
Icy and potato crops were excellent.
The potato blight, that usually appears
during the first week in August, and
sometimes IN July, did not put in any
appearance this year before the last week
IN August. Thus we can see that Che
crop was then safe as far as the blight
was concerned. Farmers looked for
ward to- prosperous winter, and prices
were better than for some time. The
shortage in grain all through Europe
raised prices considerably, and the far-
iners were much elated. But if the re-
cent storm proves to be as bad as re-
ported, the outlook for Ireland is far
from encouraging. We trust, however,
shat the reports already received have
been exaggerated, and that when the
exact facts are known, that the loss will
be nominal. OF course there were many
acres OF grain and the like, that the
oyorhowing rivers could not reach, but
the high winds may have destroyed
them. II the harvest was no earlier this
year than preceding years, thousands Of
bushels of grain must have been scat
tered to the winds. It is said that the
flax crop was beyond the reach Of the
storm having been saved some time ago.
AS we said before, we trust that later
returns will show a more encouraging
state OF affairs.

WHY SUSTAIN MORGAN7

In last weeks issue of the NORTH we
lind the following in relation to Indian
Commissioner Morgan:
'sTo sustain Commissioner Morgan is
to uphold the dignity of the government
of the United States in asserting it's
rights to conduct its affairs free from
the dictation OF cabal. If the cabal is
triumphant, and secures what it is aim
ing at, namely, the removal Of Commits
sioner Morgan, it will show that the
cabal, with the Roman Catholic HER
archy behind it, is stronger than the ex-
ecutlve department OF the government.
There exists in Washington Roman
Catholic cabal called the "Bureau Of
Catholic Indian Missions" It was this
cabal that first dragooned Congress into
making appropriations for these sectar.
ian schools, and it is this same cabal
that brings it's pressure to bear year af-
ter year to perpetuete the policy and to
secure increased appropriations each
year. the amount appropriated to Gath
Ollie schools at the last session beng
$3.50, O0O.'
Mr.. North, we have sorrow for your
stupidity, pity for your ignorant conoep-
tions, and laughter for the ''gopherish'
way yon dig yourself through hills too
mountainous for your ascent. Pray,
what is this Roman cabal you pirate Of,
whose deeds in advancing the moral civ
ilization of nations is a golden frontls-
piece to every record in the worlds his
tory since the renting of the temples
veil? The North seemingly possesses
a decided propensity for punctur1ng heal
ed up wounds. The IRISH STANDARD,
with every journal in America with the
exception of the North), believed the
Indian school question settled, over a
month ago. The settlement OF this ques-
ton revealed to the public the little
preiudices that actuated Commissioner
Morgan in his warfare against the Cath
Ole schools on the Indian reservations,
and which decidedly lowered that gen
tleman in the estimation of every moral
thinking person. He was not the mar
tyr nor the originator of the Jealous
opinions tnat forced him to make this
warfare against those schools, and when
a call for his resignation was threatened
by the president, he gladly and readily
admitted his mistakes, and appealing
for an interview with Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishop Ireland, which was re-
sponded to by these learned prelates,
he, in the interview, consented to fur
ther the interests Of the Catholic Indian
schools in every way consistent with his
authority. We give thus information tor

cent stronger before the country than
he was when, the campaign opened IN

land is made of. and his nomination
would be equivalent to an election.
The Republicans will find it hard to ex-
plain how they came to deplete the
treasury the way they did. Money was
voted out to make votes, and the coun-
try is lust waiting for chance to vote
the Republicans out of Office.

brutality of the police and soldiery.
Though logged by ''peelers" at every
turn, he cared not for them. He went
right along encouraging the Irish peo-
pie as best he could. He showed to the
world what a sturdy, hard-working,
good race of people he found there, and
that it was nothing short of criminal the
way the landlords were treating them.
He was a favorite everywhere he went,
except at Dublin Castle. and no better
proof of the mans kindness could be
had than the fact that he was always at
home in an Irishman's house. In him
the Irish people had true friend. He
way an ardent admirer of Celtic pluck
and generosity, and paid many happy
compliments to the Irish people in his
letters to the New York Tribune. Every
where he went he was hailed as friend
of the down-trodden Irish, and they
should not forget him, for he did more
to excite American sympathy for Ireland
than any other man. He did not con-
tent himself with visiting the principal
cities of the country, and living at the
leading hotels, he put out among the
people, and saw the way they had to
struggle to keep the evictor from the
door. He witnessed evictions, and as
certained their causes, and the readers
of his paper read many descriptive mar
rations of what that remarkable man
saw and heard in Ireland. He made a
thorough study of the Irish question,
and before he left he understood the
disease as we'll as we'll as the Irish mem
bers of parliament themselves who we're
born there. To him, Irish landlords
were SO many tyrants, and he spared no
language in pulling them to pieces. He
was not of the sensational type, content
ing himself with facts, and in this, lay
his wonderful success. His letters were
read everywhere, and it would have
paid the landlords to have raised purse
of million dollars and bought him out.
Though we question whether a million
dollars would have induced Redpath to
desert his post. He YVES so conscien-
tious in the performance of his duties,
that we do not believe money could buy
him. Besides he had mission to fulfill
and he was there to stay. To James
Redpath Ireland is grateful for the many
works of charity he did. His memory
will live forever in the Green Isle, and
the fruits of the noble work he did
brought sunshine and happiness to
many a home. The Irish people should
never forget James kedpath. BE was
their friend when they wanted such a
friend, and 1t will be long time before
another James Redpath goes among
them. He was good writer, a deep
thinker, and a charitable man, and
wherever We find charity we lind ali the
other virtues. When an Irish parlia-
ment opens in College Green, the pic
ture of James Redpath will adorn the
walls of that ancient hosiery,

THE business outlook now is very
promising. Our Western cities seem TO
be recovering from their temporary
lethargy more rapidly than larger cities
farther East. OF course this is not sur
prising when we renew the condition OF
trade for the past year mere, and COM
pare 1t with that Of other cities. "A
reason why we are experiencing sucn a
healthy breeze in the money market IS
because OF our close connection to the
millions of bushels of wheat that viii
soon be millions of dollars in the North
west. The bountiful crops make all re-
joice,s and the business man is not so
close in his dealings with his customers.
