The Superintendent of the Wprkhouse is
Requested to Resign.

The superintendent Of the Wprkhouse is
Requested to Resign. A."
The Board of Corrections and Charities
held their hi monthly meeting Wednes-
day morning at which the committee on
workhouse submitted the following re-
port: .="
'ro She Honorable Board of Charities
and Corrections: " ".
your committee to whom was referred
the matter of Investigating reported es-
capes of prisoners from the workhouse
and other matters concerning the gen
eral affairs at that institu tion, and also
the matter of the recent suspension of
Matron Taylor by Supt. West, would
respectfully report to your honorable
body that we have carefully Investigated
the matters referred to us and herewith
submit to the board copy of evidence
taken by the committee on workhouse.
'The evidence in the case of Matron
Taylor shows that she was Negligent and
careless of her duty in allowing the es-
capped prisoner Preston and other female
prisoners to have possession of their
citizens clothing, while confined as pris-
oners under her charge, this action
being contrary to good prison discipline
and tending to facilitate the escape Of
prisoners.
"With regard to the general manage
ment of affairs at the worknouse and
conduct of Supt. West, your committee
would at present submit only that per
ton of our report and evidence bearing
directly upon the case of the superinten-
dent.
"The evidence shows that the escape
OF the female prisoner Preston was due
to carelessness and neglect of duty on
the part Of Supt. West in not exercising
proper. surveillance over the prisoners
while employed outside the prison and
the superintendent house. Your COM
mittee would further report that while
investigating these matters we also
learned that the testimony submitted
herewith shows evidence of conduct on
the part of Supt West that calls for
immediate action on the part of this
committee and tn g board. We find
from the testimony Of citizens outside
the workhouse, from the testimony of
Supt. West himself, and from prisoner
named Peterson that for some time past
superintendent West has been secretly
employing the labor Of at least one city
prisoner for q number of days at work
on his private property nearly a mile
away and in gross violation of the trust
reposed in him as uperintendent Of this
department.
aHe has also employed prisoners to do
work about his residence and perform
personal service for members OF his
family without any permission or author
ity from this board, and he also allows
his family to take the superinte ndent' 8
KEYS TO unlock the workhouse doors and
take prisoners to do sewing and other
personal service for them about the
house, and it was in this way that the
escape Of the prisoner Preston occurred.
All these things indicate 3 bad state Of
discipline az the work house under supt.

most nth . diisso lion 81 the Division.
We have ont of . nembe rship Of bout
175 members . list of something over 80
members il good standing ia the insur-
anoe fund, and Twill say that We find
that nearly all Of this large membership
are willing to continue their mbership
in the division but absolutely refuse to
have any more TO do with the insurance.
By personal interviews with these mem
bers they give the following reasons for
their determination: 1st, It is too ex-
pensive for the amount the beneficiary
receives; End, it is supposed to paw
$1,000, when as matter Of fact it will
not pay anything near the amount (only
between $3.50 to $500; 3rd, they consider
that differential rate should apply to
younger men and larger rate to the
older members; 4th, and the most pro-
nounced reason is the suspicion with
which they regard the stability Of the
whole feature of insurance.
Now, Mr.. Editor, my own experience
has taught me that it would be the
heighth of folly to attempt to make the
members swallow this feature against
their will, it is only an experiment at
best (and will say that it would. be q
good thing if we could make success
out of it). But I seriously question the
ACCESSIBILITY of risking the fate Of the
Order by insisting on and compelling the
members to participate IN the expensive
luxury of determining whether this ex-
pertinent will be success CT not.
We are all aware with what feelings OF
suspicion the people of this country to-
day regard all those new tangled ideas,
and catch-penny insurance fakes which
it is the lot of nearly everyone to have
experienced directly or indirectly for the
past 20 years. Any enterprise that can
now succeed must bear on its face the
stamp of time, experience, stability, and
a reserve fund OF such proportions that
in itself it will be a guarantee of per-
manency and stability. I would sug-
gest that as remedy for this condition
of affairs that the question of the insur-
ance feature being made Compulsory
be changed to Optional"
Pardon me, Mr.. Editor, for taking up
SO much of your valuable space and
hope you will kindly permit any replies
to this communication, in the hope that
some valuable suggestions may crop out
that will assist in solving this problem.
Yours Respectfully,

Sss.sAs
says: . u. u
The building up Of the priesthood
Of the Church is the chief act Of Chris
tian pietY, the most meritorious before
God and the most fruitful IN holy results
that We can perform. The priest is con-
secrated in Christ's name to be the
teacher Of divine truth and the dispenser
Of divine grace. He is the ruler and the
leader of the people, who look up to
him for guidance and inspiration. The
action Of the Church of Christ upon the
world is through the priest, in whom her
power becomes active, and upon whom
she relies for the exercise Of this power.
The diocese which possesses numerous
and we'll trained clergy finds all heavens
blessings showered upon it.
'.The expense OF the clerical educa-
ton of young men are heavy and parents
usually are unable or unwilling to bear
them. The nation educates its military
officers, and so the church must educate
the priests who are to serve her and &c
devote to her in love their strength and
life.
Sufficient means in our hands, We
can in a few years easily supply all the
needs of religion in the archdiocese
having given, meanwhile, to our levitei
the extensive and thorough instruction
that will permit them to exercise sthe
holy ministry with greatest honor to thu
Church and greatest good to souls
Are these means to be put at our dis
posal? This is the question which VI
submit to the Catholics of the archdio
| cese. We ask are the Catholics Of the
archdiocese of ST. Paul sufficiently con
scious of the great work which God ex
poets of them, and sufficiently generous
| to respond in the fullness of the measure
of the work? We know our priests anc
people, and we can. we are confidently
give answer that they will not be founc
wanting"

To the Editor of The Irish standard.
DEAR S1R,-Will you kindly permit
me the use OF some space in your valu-
able paper, that may present some fea-
lures in connection with the Ancient
Order of Hibernians in Minnesota. ]
will state first that I am what may be
termed stnew member" in the Order,
and as such have not formed any biased
ideas or opinions in connection with
matters in relation to the Order. ]
will present the insurance feature of the
A. O. III in this issue and attempt to be
as brief as possible. First, is the insur-
ance feature of the A. O. H., as it now
exists, success? [ contend that it IL
not; and my reasons for this decision are
based upon my Investigation of facts
which bear me out. At the state con-
yention of 1886 it was made compulsory
for sill members joining after August Let,
1886. to also join the insurance feature.

This has been done but with what sue.
cess is question Of serious considera-
ton. I find that by glancing over the
state insurance secretary s report that all
the old divisions have shown most de-
cided falling off, There are several fea-
lures which enter into the consideration
Of this matter which leads me to present
these suggestions and invite discussion
on the subject. First among these are
the enforcem ent. Of the constitution and
by laws on those members in arrears in
the insurance fund. Under the rules
they should be denied the privileges
and benefits Of the Order and after 9
certain specified time should Be suspend
ed from the books off the Division. 4

From Our Daily Contemporaries

| Globe:-John Mccarthy, the popular
Saltwater postmaster, was at the CAPT
tol Saturday. He interviewed the state
officials upon the effect Of the elections
of last Tuesday. -
II find the Republicans insist that
they won signal victory" said he,
'tand, On the other hand. the Democrats
claim they carried three out Of four Re-
publican states. But how the RepubE-
cans can, by even their most shrewd
sophistical legerdemaip, figure much
announcements, I can't conceive. 1t
reminds me Of a story. An Irishman
and a German had fight, and the Ger
man was pretty badly whipped. Still
he wanted to explain that everything
hadn't gone against him. q
IL had rhe best Of him in one respect,
said the German; / successfully got my
nose in the Irishman's mouth; and 1t
occurs to me that the Republicans of
Massachusetts. New York and Iowa
got their noses very successfully into
the Democratic mouth
Tribune;-In sentencing the motor
ious Madame LLOYD to ten months in
the penitentiary, Judge CAVITY delivered
little lecture which should be conned
by all officers of the law and accepted
as guide in the discharge OF their duty.
TO conduct such a resort as the one
over which Madame Lloyd presided is
an Infinitely graver crime against So
cietY than that committed bv the aban-
doned woman Of First street, the char
acter Of whose house is notorious and
offers no tempting bait Of concealment
TO the mind or matron who hesitates at
the dividing line between decency and
degradation. Establishments Of the
Lloyd type are recruiting posts for the
legions of the lost and against them
should be ]eyeled the heaviest ordinance
of the law.
Pioneer Press:-Lady Burton has
lost a lot of money in her expurgated
edition Of her late husbands transla-
ton of the arabian Nights" The
long, pendulous ears of the readers who
buy books because they hear they are
unusually nasty will not prick up at the
offer of thistles deprived of their points.
The book as her husband printed it was
bad enough to please everybody and
sold we'll.
Journal: The election of Flavin, the
McCarthvlte candidate for Cork to the
British commons by 1872 plurality over
John Redmond lParnellite) and sars-
field (Unionist), is sufficiently pro-
nounced result to show the stronger
tendency of the Irish mind to reason
and common sense The Redmond fac
tion are the eruelest enemies which Ire.

titled with dynamite brigades, they are

Another Mystery.

Is that every evil, all violence
and all crime is by law prohibited,
yet the rum shop, the fountain OF
three-quarters of all violence and
all crime, is by law licensed. Thus
indirectly murder and other crimes
are licensed.
1t is we'll known by all who
grant saloon license that crime and
debauchery are it's legitimate fruits,
and hopeless drunkards are the
saloons finished product.
1t is a further mystery how men
who love their kind and their coun-
try's welfare can quietly submit to
ace drunkard-factories multiplied,
with all their evil effects upon So
ciety, and not exert themselves to
prevent it.
A Judge recently, in pronouncing
the sentence of death for murder,
added the following:
Nor shall the place be forgot
ten in which occurred the shedding
ofsblood. 1t was one of the thous-
and ante-chamhers Of perdItIon
