THE Northwest is having it's share
of snow these times. The farmers, who
feared 81 short time since that the win
ter would close without the customary
falls Of Che beautiful are In much bet
ter spirits now than they were two
weeks ago. From accounts published
in the local press we cannot but infer
that the past two weeks have done
much to encourage the farmer and make
him confident Of a good crop The com
ing season. The Red River Valley has
been especially fortunate in getting
large quantities Of snow and if the
weather bureau at Washington will
but hold out a little while longer, all
will be more than well.

CHURCH PROGRESS: Commissioner
Morgan refused to allow the correspon-
dent at a Catholic journal to interview
the Sioux delegation in WASHINGTON,
Morgan seems to be very much afraid
of the truth. ButMo1gan's record is
we'll known. It requires no interviews
with Sioux delegations to get at it. 1t
has been made public enough. and we
can t imagine that anything the Indi-
ans might say would add in the least to
the Commissioners reputation.

ROBERT EMMET'S ANNIVERSARY


We are again on the eve of the com
memoration Of Robert Emmet's birth
day. and we'll might We bow in rever'
once and respect as we mention that
name, No name in Irish history to-day
is nearer the irish heart than that OF
Emmett. Year after year We call to
mind the noble deeds Of that young and
illustrious martyr, and with each sue.
ceeding year does our love and venera'
ton for him increase. We cherish his
memory because his motives in life were
for his country's good, He was young
but ambitious; patriotic to a fault but
indiscreet, and still withal his love fo1
ireland was so great, so deep rooted
that even his enemies were forced to
admire him. From early life to the
day of his execution, III Thomas street,
Dublin, his ambition was his country s
freedom. Born with the spirit OF revo-
luton in his veins he devoted his school
DAYS to the study of his country Is
wrongs, and so we'll did he master his
task, that he foand it necessary to give
no his life in sacrifice for the cause be
loved so we'll. His religious training
though nom atholic, did not blind him
in the cause that called for his life and
which he willingly gave up. Unlike
many of the young men of his time he
was always working out some theory
whereby he could lift that terrible load
from Ireland's shoulders, that has more
than once pressed her to the earth His
attempt at revolution was dismal fall
ure and he suffered, Had he sacrificed
bis love for one of Ireland's fair daugh-
ters Emmet might have succeeded in
making his escape, but true to his
promise, he came to bid her long
farewell and was arrested. We are all
familiar with what followed. His trial
and subsequent conviction. 1t was then
that he delivered his celebrated speech
that Will live in history as long as his
tory lives. No better example: OF g
patriotic freshman can we find in all
history than Emmett. He lived for his
country, and died for his country, and
we only wish we could write his epitaph
now. But as he requested, that cannot
be done until Ireland has taken her
place among the nations of the earth.
Then and not till tt en- should his epltaph
be written.

parallels TACTICS.

MIR. Parnell is making good use of his
time Just now from Parnell standpoint.
Last week he made several speeches to
his admirers in ireland on what he pro-
posed doing. Though very determined
in his manner he was not quite SO violent
or abusive as on former occasions. Al
Roscommcn last Sunday he delivered
an address to large crowd in the course
of which be said would adopt SIN atti-
tude of EARNED observation" until he
saw what solution was offered on the
police and land questions. These Of
course must be two of the main features
of any proposed settlement of the Irish
question. The land question is the one
that the people have been trying to
effect settlement on for a number OF
years. The people of course want to
get rid of landlordism. They can never
succeed as long as they are compelled to
pay exorbitant rents. The government
may build railroads, found 9 dozen
charitable institutions in each county.
and still the people will not be satisfied,
The Irish people do not want charity,
they want to live and let live, and to
this end they will labor for the Danish
ment of landlordism. But they could
not be satisfied with this as long as the
police are under the immediate control
81 the imperial government. They, as
ws do in this country, believe in the
right Of selecting our guardians Of the
peace so long q they are directly taxed

at least meet these two men half way

Irish party might solidify their ranks

possibly the coming summer. We were

He is certainly not coming here for the
benefit of his health. He should be
careful not to spread discussions here
as he has been doing at home. He is
