THE street railway company OF MID
neapolis has got more nerve TO the
SQUARE inch than the rest Of the city
combined. This COMPANY was not
satisfied with getting a monopoly OF
street railway business here, but 1t
wanted the use OF all the streets IN the
CITY that it saw fit to use. Mr.. Good
rich would like to string feed wires
wherever he thinks they would benefit
his railway system. Last week he tried
to get some feed wires along certain
streets in East Minneapolis, but che
building inspector, under whose super
vision such work comes, ordered the
men to stop under paiu of arrest. Inc
order was obeyed, but very reluctantly
An effort was made at the last council
meeting to have this power now vested
in the building Inspector transferred To
the city engineer, but it failed. MT.
Goodrich was not satisfied with naming
the council committee on railroads, but
he wanted the use of all streets and al
leys in the city that he saw fit to use.
Keep tae wire ordinance where 1t Is, 1t
will be better for the city in the end.

IRISH AMERICAN: The mineral sta
tistics of Great Britain and Ireland for
last year have been issued in the form
of a Blue Book by the Home Office.
Unfortunately it has to be recorded
that the Irish part of the return might
be contained in few modest pages;
for the mining Industries of Ireland, as
too many krow to their cost. are far
from being in t1our1shing state. The
total value Of Irish products belonging
to this category IN 1890 was 9406, 512,
and Of this sum nearly three-fourtbs-
or, to be exact, e286, 1924 must be placed
TO the credit Of slate and slate slabs,
clay, sand, and gravel excavated from
open works. Coal OF the value OF az, O57
was mined, and the iron ore aud iron
stone produced was estimated to yield
e32. 40. Last year the English mines
produced minerals valued at e66 651 ,S442;;
the Welsh, 9l4 1853, 1873, and those of
Scotland gave gross return of GlO,-
705, $50. The coal production of Eng
land was worth e553, $40, 593, that OF

during the week with visit from that

that reporters were too small to be 40

Omaha that above all men living the

AN IMPORTANT GATHERING.


The leading Democrats of the State
held very important meeting: in Min
neapolis last Wednesday. The meeting
was significant in view of the fact that
it was called to adjust any differences
chat might exist or hereafter arise as to
the best methods for state organization.
1t was important to get together in
time, and the Democracy felt 1t their
duty to come together early and map
out the prelimina1ies. Though the
Republican press has done all it could
70 make the meeting Cleveland boom,
there was practically nothing said on
this question at all. Mayor Winston
explained the object Of the meeting
when he said that they were there for
the good of the party Of which they
were so proud, and that it was the duty
Of all to preach unity everywhere. ALI
through, the meeting was decidedly
business like, and the Minnesota
Democracy are to be congratulated on
having accomplished 50 much in such a
short time. We may expect to hear
from the committee in chargesof affairs

we'll that such tyrants as the Kaiser
realize sometimes that they too are

this same emperor said at a banquet
that he was the owner Of Germany, and
he alone was master of the same. Be-

heartless policy towards his subjects he
will soon be as thoroughly detested as

THERE is the usual amount of trouble

THERE is the usual amount of trouble
on tap for the dog catcher these days,
Each wear brings it's quota Of "tales Of
woe" and the like. If dogs are to be
licensed the ordinance covering the
same should make it obligatory on all
owners OF dogs to procure license for
each dog he has, under pain of a reason
able fine. That is the proper way to
enforce the ordinance. The present
system is productive of too much noise
aud bad blood between the deg catcher
and the owners OF unlicensed dogs.
Make it misdemeanor for any owner
OF a dog to keep the same without first
having procured a license, and instruct
all police officers to bring such people
into court wherever they find them. In
this way will get rid ct many useless
ours, and the city will be better Off.

THREE young men-mere boys-tried
hard to get a worldwide reputation for
themselves last week by burglarizing a
hardware store. AS might be expected
they were caught, and now they are on
a fair way to get long term in the
state reformatory, if not the state
prison. These boys no doubt regret
their bad work now, and we hope those
of their class who have so far succeeded
in escaping arrest will mend their ways
and not send their parents to an early

WHAT WILL BE DONE7

Weregret to see the Minneapolis Labor
Temple about to pass into the hands OF
receiver. A few years ago the labor
ing men of Minneapolis conceived the
idea of erecting building for them
selves. and to 5his end they worked very
1ndustriously. They spared neither
themselves nor their families to get a
foothold. Generous hearted citizens
came forward and subscribed TO the
fund, some taking stock and others
nothing in return for their money. A
lot was secured on Fourth street and
Eighth avenue south, and handsome
building erected. This was the first
temple of it's kind erected in the West.
Even Chicago with all it's wealth could
not say it was ahead of Minneapolis in
this particular. Stock was sold without
much difficulty, but number Of these
purchasers forgot their duty to the asso-
citation, and so the funds grew less until
little or nothing was left IN the treasury.
To consider what WAS best to be done q
meeting was held last Monday night at
Labor Temple hall to consider ways and
means. There is mortgage on the
building of $25. 600, upon which $4,000
is now due. The gentleman holding the
mortgage has kindly agreed to let the
receivershlp continue eight years if the
association will pay the interest now due
and pay $500 annually On the principal
The association decided to sue all delin-
quent subscribers. This may do some
good and it may not. We would sug-
gest that the labor organizations of the
city hold meeting as soon as possible,
and decide on picnic to be held some
time this month. Such picnic as was
given few years ago at Lake Harriet
would pay the association we'll, provided
of course that they got . percentage Of
the street car fares collected on the lines
leading to the picnic grounds. The
street railway company would no doubt
agree to some such arrangement. The
association could furnish the visitors
with refreshments at reasonable prices,
and these refreshments could be donated
by those interested in the association.

THOUGH we in Minnesota have had
more rain in the past two weeks than
we really needed, Wisconsin has been
sighted considerably by Jupiter
Pluvius. The crop bullatins issued by
the great ~ crop prognosticator at

ing outlook for certain sections of Wis
consin. Though there is a good i'm
provement reported still Shat state has

cause Of a lack of rain. Here is what

quite marked Improvement. Gener-
ally throughout the eastern half Of the

Michigan, the rains Of the last week
ranged to one fourth to one nalf of an

Inc call was pIOuuclV6 Oh Rdtu6IuR HI
some two dozen new members whose
private lives were not considered. All
that was necessary for their admission
was that they swear by the bigoted prin-
ciples of the society, and learn to hate
Catholicism more than ever. One of
the great moving spirits in this call was
Decobain, who seemed to dote on the
success of Orangeism Now we see
what the man is made of. But it will
be difficult matter to convict him, par
ticularly if he calls for jury trial and
gets it. He will get enough scoundrels
of his own make there who Will see that
no verdict Of guilty is brought in. Un-
less the prosecution can show as good q
case as 1t did in the case of Capt. VeaseY,
Deeobain Will escape. There will be
desperate effort made to quash the in
dictment, and all the influences that
Orangeism can collect will be used in
his behalf. It may be that he will en-
deavor to settle the case before it comes
into court, but we hope not. The Or.
angemen at Belfast, as they are every
where, are degraded lot OF men. We
have only to go down to Toronto and see
for ourselves what a despicable, coward
ly, ignorant lot they are. A body of
men banded together under any name,
who would wantonly attack any citizen
on the public streets of city without
provocation, are ruffians of the worst
type. The Orangemen OF Toronto, not
long age, gathered IN large numbers on
the streets OF that city, and attacked
Archbishop Walsh carriage i'll which
the archbishop was seated at the time.
They threw stones at ii, and had it not
been for the police and citizens who in
terfered, the archbishop would have
been killed. Yet these same scour drels
every now and then rise in their dignity
and tell Canada what must be done to
save the country. How often have they
done the same in Ireland? They have
met and held meetings in which they de-
nounced the idea Of home rule, and
pleaded with the government for the ex-
termination of all Catholics. They
knew if ever home rule was gwen Ire
land they could not influence the judges
and juries as they do now. They know
shat their days Of plundering would he
at an end. No longer would Catholic
bishops, priests and laymen be forced to
taIze insult from them without redress,
But thanks to such men as Decobain the
world is gradually getting peep be-
hind the curtains. The true character
OF these miserable scoundrels is being
shown up, and in short time they will
be unheard of as we'll as their organiza-
tion. We Will watch the trial in Deco
bain's case with much interest, and if he
is convicted Of the crime charged, the
Orangemen OF Ireland will have received
set back from which We hope they will
never recover. Now fer the verdict.
