Raum Going co Rush Things.

CHICAGO, July 16.-A local news bu-
reau quotes Pension Commissioner
Raum as saying, in conversation with a
Chicago pension agent, that affairs have
been going too slowly in the pension
department, and he is going to hurry
through 1886, 900 original cases before the
year is out. There is no sense in letting
them hang on, and when they are dis
posed of, he can getrid of lot of clerks
he has, perhaps half the force.

REV J. T. SMITH. NJ. I. J. GRIFFIN.
I'm, editor of The Catholic Historical Re-
searches and The Journal of the Irish
Catholic Benevolent Union, was present,
as he is at every Catholic convention. He
ID man Of brains and force of character,
|, 30 original in his thought and manner that
heis generally In minority Of one, and is
actually tickled at his situation.
N. O'Brien, of The Catholic Mirror, OF
Baltimore; P. Thornberry, of The Church
Jessamine, Of Chattanooga; Milton II.
Smith and William H. Lepley, of the
Washington Church News; John O'F1an-
agan, of the Kansas Catholic; W. j. Wal
lace, of the Trenton IN. J.) Catholic Jour
nal; Edward J. Ryan and A. j. Marakle,
Of the Rochester Catholic Journal, were
among those whose work in committee
made its impress on the convention. The
other delegates had great faith in their
colleagues, heartily approved their schemes,
but were not sorry to get rid of committee
work and see the sights of great city.
A peculiar feature of the convention was
this: The man who as an editor has come
in for general criticism had charge OF
the arrangements, and he received the Wis
itors in manner that would make one
imagine they had been praising him for
years. That man was Rev. John Talbot
Smith, editor of The Catholic Review. He
ts an author of many popular works of
fiction, forceful and graceful writer His
last suggestion-that of a Catholic party
created discussion even in secular papers.
and one idea after another, startling in their
character and ably and clearly expressed,
have made The Review one of the most
prominent Catholic journals in the land.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 31--At a secret
meeting of the state officers Of the two
rival branches of the Ancient Order OF
Hibernians, held in this city yesterday,
steps were taken to harmonic all dit
ferences, and it is probable that within
a very short time complete reconcilia-
ton will be effected. A few enthusiast
tic ones have been quietly at work for
some time, sowing the seeds of har-
mopy, and the indications are that they
are meeting with all the success they
could desire. Complete harmony ex-
listed at yesterdays meeting. and an
other meeting will soon be held. at
which the members expect to fully ac-
complish their purpose by having their
compromise plan adopted. IF success
full in Wisconsin, the programme is to
extend the work until the Hibernian
order as national organization shall be
renovated and endowed with new life
and enthusiasm.

Special correspondence of the Irish Standard.
August 30th, being the fifth Sunday of
the month, late Mass was celebrated
here and we had an unusually large at
tendance. Owing to the push and energy
of our dear pastor, Rev. Father Dwyer,
our congregation is rapidly increasing
and the people manifest much greater
interest than heretofore, as is shown by
the excellent Improvements lately made.
The church has been newly papered and
painted, sidewalk built and rods put
through the building to support it, all
of which was sadly needed. Thanks to
the ladies, the altar is kept supplied
With beautiful natural flowers and every
thing kept neat and clean, so that now
our church is one of the incest and neat

Crime as = Disease.

No man can serve many years as pros
ecuting attorney and criminal judge
without forming very decided theories
as to criminal manias. have watched
the matter carefully, says Mayor
Noonan in the Globe-Democrat, and am
convinced not only that crime is dis
ease but also that it is both infectious
and hereditary. More than that, it is
disease which runs very largely in
grooves and even in nations. Thus
there are emigrants of certain nation
alities who will commit offenses of the
most horrible nature, without apparent
ly any conception Of the crime involved.
but who would starve rather than steal
cent, and there are habitual thieves
who are the soul of honor in all things
save one. Some day, if can find the
time, will write book on manias,
with special reference to- cases which
have come under my personal notice,
and, whatever the literary imperfec-
tions, the work will be a valuable one.
] sometimes think our criminal-court
machinery is based on an exploded or
incorrect theory.

ter accused the mayor Of inconsistency,
in that he 1.-THE mayor some two years
ago wanted SIMILAR franchise to the
one Phelps was after, and that the
mayor at that time argued III favor Of
it. TO This the MAYORS reply is just
the thing, and shows Mr.. Potter, as we'll
as other people who think they have an
interest in the city, the duty public men
owe the public. Here IS what the
mayor said: lit is true that a few wears
ago I was anxious to have a spring
water ordinance passed, but not true
that made speech Or argument in
favor Of it. I was then private citi-
zen, and hopel was too good business
man to throw confessed!y good thing
over my shoulder. II the council at
that tune had been willing TO have
granted the franchise, I would have
been foolish to have refused it. Now,

task Of protecting, 80 far as III me lies,
the best interests OF this city, While
that franchise would have been good
thing for the people who were asking
for it, it would have been poor thing
for the city. l acted accordingly, and
hope have done the city some service
and discharged my duty. Ala. Potter,

motives. ( have been told, and do
not doubt it. that the franchise would
easily be worth $4,000, once secured

MINNEAPOLIS dOss not want any
spring water, at least at the price Mr..
Phelps was modest enough to ask. Min
neapolis has her mayor, P. B. Winston
to thank for the killing off OF this
scheme, which if passed would have
cost Minneapolis great deal. 1t Was
q shrewd move on the part Of G. e..
Goodrich, of the street railway COM
pany. to get the council pass the ordin-
ance in the first place, but Mayor
Winston exposed the ordinance Just as
it was. The people were informed of
this weak points in the ordinance, and
they swooped down upon the aldermen
in time. When Mayor Winston vetoed
the ordinance it was said tnat the alder
men who supported the ordinance
would do all they could to pass 1t over
the mayors veto, but the seventeen
members of the council who voted for
the ordinance had not the sand to run
against public sentiment, and 80 they
accepted the only alternative left them.
So the city was saved from another
haartless monopoly. We know what a
treasure the street railway franchise is,
hut Minneapolis never got cent for It.
The general manager Of the street rail-
way was at the back of the spring
water ordinance, and it. was lucky that
that fact leaked out in time. Such
franchises should not be given away.
They should be sold to the highest bid
der for cash. We hope the council will
not soon forget the lesson taught them
il this.
