STAND BY TIE DEPARTMENT.

STAND BY TIE DEPARTMENT
The local insurance men have at last
got through trying to square themselves
with their respective companies over the
Lumber Exchange fire. AS was to be
expected, they found fault With the fire
department. That is generally the case
with these men. They think that be-
oause Minneapolis has got one of the
best fire departments in the country,
tnat q big fire should not occur here
once in a life time. For that reason
they do not stop to consider the danger
of throwing on any amount OF insurance.
And whenever they get caught, as they
did in the Lumber Exchange fire, they
Immediately Jump on the fire depart
ment, and call upon the citizens OF Min
neapolis TO do the same. 1t was only
last week that Syracuse, New York,
Pittsburgh, and Chicago were visited by
fires twice as destructive as the one the
Minneapolis insurance nlen have been
discussing the past three weeks. The
fire IN Syracuse also destroyed some
$500, 900 worth Of property. According
to Geographic accounts, rs published in
the local papers, the ire jumped across
tbe street. and ign1ted buildings on the
opposite side from where ii first started.
And still there IVES NO wholesale kicking
as there was here. Because the fire
crossed ten foot alley from a building
full Of OIL and paint, the fire department
must be made the scapegoat for other
peoples reckIessness. The people OF
Minneapolis are not going to accept the
report Of this self constituted Investigate
ing committee. IT these men have any
matters to adjust with their companies
let them do so, but let the people OF
Minneapolis stand by their Ere depart
ment that did we'll against desperate
odds.

MIR. GLADsTONE's REOEPTI0N.

Mr., Gladstone received one OF the
grandest ovations of his life last Tuesday
when aboat to leave Charing Cross rail
road station for Hastings. When it was
learned that the "Grand Old Man. was
in the depot, az immense crowd gather
ed to pay their respects to the leading
statesman of England. The crowd liter
ally cheered itself hoarse in It's enthusi-
asm. and when they caught sight of Mr..
Gladstone they trampled over policemen
and guards in their efforts to get close to
the Liberal leader. In their Joy the
people practically lost their heads. and
not satisfied with turning the depot up
side down, SO to speak. they climbed on
top of the cars of the tram that was to
take Mr.. GIanstone to Hastings. The
railroad depot was shaken to the foun-
dation by the cheers of the crowd. Ali
along the road deputations representing
trades unions and the like presented adj
dresses to Mr.. Gladstone, and in many
places was he unable to respond on ac-
count of the cheering of the crowds. 1t
was certainly very aattering reception
to Mr.. Gladstone, and particularly to the
cause of Home Rule, which is the upper
most thought in his mind. He said in
his address to the people of Tunbridge,
that whatever measure of Home Kule
was proposed, it would bring peace and
contentment TO Ireland. That is what
Ireland wants, meas ure that will make
her people content. No people on the
face OF this earth hate and despise
wrapgl1ng and hair.pulling more than
the Irish. They would hail with delight
a truce with England that would guar
antee such liberty as we enjoy in Amer
ca to-day. To place the people of Great
Britain and Ireland where they ought to
be, Mr.. Gladstone would give every
house. holder equal voting powers. That
is right. The people OF Great Britain,
as we'll as ireland are helpless to great
extent when it comes to select their rep
resentatives in parliament. Money is
the great vote getter, and On it depends
the Tory power. Thousands Of desery~
ing men cannot vote, because. according
to the law of the land, they must be
worth certain amount to entitle them
to vote. This gives the moneyed classes
the votes, and We know what chat means.
We hope that khe "Grand Old Man"
WILL live to change this despicable sys.
tenn, and give the poor man the same
voting privileges that the law low gives
his better TODD ne1ghbor.

a HAPPY CELEBRATION.

ST. Patriok's day is past and gone, fo'
this year at least, and 1t was very credit
ably observed by Irisbmen in Minnesota.
The Twin cities, which in former years
practically monopolized everything on
that day, gave way to saltwater this
year, and there were NO regrets ON that
account. The freshmen of saltwater did
themselves proud on that occasion. and
the many visitors from Minneapolis. St,
Paul and the surrounding cities felt
more than pleased with the hospitality
of the Saltwater boys. The entertain
ments in the different cities in the even
my we're well attended, 1t was source
Of much comfort TO the old Irishmen Of
minneapolis and St. Paul to witness in
their respective places Of entertainments
suoh al outpouring OF enthusiasm.
Many OF them recalled the time, and not
many years ago either IN the Northwest,
when iii wonld be difficult to collect as
many Irishmen together as were to be
seen in any of the halls in Minneapolis
on that night. They were proud to meet
one another and relate past experiences
which to many of them we're bitter, but
perseverance and a will bent On doing
what was right. had placed many of
them in positions of honor and RESPONSE
bilitY. England, with her cruel laws,
banlshed many of Ireland's sons from
their native heath, and little did John
Bull think that the poor and detected
Irish enigrant Honld one day become
leading citizen in the New World Well
might every exiled Irishman, who wit
messed the exercises IN the different halls
last Tuesday might, thank heaven that he
was free to commemorate the feast of
Ireland's patron saint; we'll might he
thank God that he lived in country
where freedom of speech, freedom Of
religion, freedom Of thought are extended
to all. The management of the exer-
cises III the different parishes should GER
tainly feel fattered at the success that
their labors. Every parish |

turned out we'll, and none were disap-
pointed. They were all more than
pleased with their evenings enjoyment.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on
those who took part in the different per-
formances.

THE closing of the fake auction stores
by the police last week was the most
commendable act that chat department
Of our city government has done TOR d
long time. These places were dis
grace to the city, and why they were
tolerated so long is q mystery. They
were an injury TO legitimate business,
and the number of men that were daily
euchered out of their hard earnings was
legion. They piled their nefarious
trade too long here, and now that they
are closed up, we hope Chief Henderson
will keep them closed, The chief has
done we'll IN this, aud he should have
lots of credits for it.

THE CITY CHARTER,

| 1t looks now as Ii the new CITY Cnafte1
would become law. 1t passed tbs
house last Tuesday under suspension OF
the rules, and is now in the hands OF tbs
senate, where we are confident it wal re.
ceive very kind treatment. IT is not &C
be expected, though, that it will have az
! clear field there as it had in the house.
The Minneapolis office holders, whose pc.
sitions would be endangered should the
bill become 81 law, are working on Sen
ator John Day Smith with all their might
TO Try and defeat it. The leading Re,
publicans OF Minneapolis are not making
much of an effort to kill it, but the
would-be leaders are making themselves
very busy over it. They are trying to
make the outside senators beliave that
the people of Minneapolis do not want
it; that 1T is political move, and should
be submitted to vote of The people
first. The present charter has under
gone msny changes during the pass ten
years, and all these while Republicans
represented this county in the legis-
lature. They clipped the mayors wings
so close to his body that he could scarce
~ breathe. They deprived a Demo
cratic mayor OF the power II appointing
and disnlissiog policemen, and saddled
Oh the city police commission costing
the city almost S., 600 year. They cut
up the city into thirteen wards when
there was no necessity tor it, and in
creased the number of aldermen by one
half, SO that their party might have a
majority in the council no matter what
way future elections went. And had
they been successful last November they
would have saddled board OF public
works on the city thing that has been
a curse to every city afflicted with it
And during all these political changes in
the city charter, did our Republican
Legislators consult either the people or
their Democrotic friends? Not at all:
they simply went on and did what shey
thought would help their party, without
regard to the clty's interests Now when
it comes to making the chief executive of
the city responsible for the city's doings
the Republicans kick, simply because
the present mayor is Democrat. and
the new charter will enable him to make
q record for himself and the party he
represents, which may be the means of
keeping the Republicans out OF Office for
some time to come. For this reason the
new charter does not suit the Republl-
cans They were accustomed SO long to
things as they pleased, that it
comes little awkward for them to be in
he minority now. They must take their
Medicine. The new charter will go
through and the Republicans cannot
lelp themselves. /

The Minnesota republicans met in
convention here last week, and tried TO
hold love feast. They talked great
deal, and tried to explain away the
rotten legislation that the 51th congress
passed, by telling each other that inter-

with 1t, They tried to keep their spirits
up by giving a big banquet and holding
out big promises. Let the dead bury

THE terrible punishment melted out
to the members of the Malta in New
Orleans last Saturday should be a good
warning to all murderOusly inclined
members of that organization. The
murder Of the Chief OF Police HennesSy
Of New Orleans has Deen avenged by
the people of that city in manner that
will never be forgotten by those who
either witnessed it or participated in
the bloody affair. Public feeling
against these destroyers Of society had
reached Its highest and nothing but
what was done would have satisfied the
people. When Mr.. Hennessy was as
sassinated last October in front ut his
own house by these outlaws. the people
OF New Orleans wisely decided to Let
the law take It's course. But did it?
No. The jury fxer was there and the
susceptible jurvman was there also
and the whole affair was a trsvesty
upon justice. Those whom the jury
did not acquit were sent back to their
cells for another trial, though the evil
dence against them all proved conclu
sive]y that they were implicated i'll the
murder of Chief Hennessy. It was
then that the respectable element Of the
community demanded something more
than mere empty resolutions. The jail
was broken into at monday, and eleven
dagos were shot to pieces in their cells.
The foreman of the jury left town in
fear and trembling. and the balance
of the jury remained in hiding for sew
era! days. 1t was too bad that the peo
pie of New Orleans were forced to take
the law into their own hands, but in
this case it was necessary. Now comes
q demand from the Italian organiza
tions OF Che country to avenge the kill
ing OF those worthless Wretches. Such
and murder pl0tters, no
matter what country they belong to,
ought to share the same fate
whenever the law tails TO DO its duty. |
ANY attempts to ayenge the death of
those nurderers should be met with a
strong hand. i
