us to do is wait and see if the commit

BOSTON REPUBLIC: 1t is too early TO
speculate upon the nome rule bill for
Ireland which MIR. Gladstone, in con-
Junction with the other leaders Of the
Liberal party, is said to have prepared.
1t will be published 10 few days, and
then it will be seen whether or not the
party intends to make Ireland and it's
affairs the prominent plank in it's plat
form, as the recent Newcastle conven-
ton declared it would. Though early
speculation may lead to error Oh vital
points, the impression of the frame
work of the bill obtained by journalists
Oh the other side and cabled over here
is probably correct. They represent it
as Home Rule measure of radical
character, providing for an Irish Parlia-
ment of two Houses, vesting the ap-
pointment of the judiciary in the Irish
executive. and bestowing upon Ireland
a larger representation in the imperial
Parliament. 1t seems to establish
about the same relations between Ire
land and the empire as now exist be-
tween Canada and Great Britain. This
would signify that the bill is fashioned
on lines that will confer upon the Irish
people everything short of complete in
dependence.

CHURCH PROGRESS: Clerical influ
ence i'm elections is always a red flag for
the bull of bigotry. Politicians know
we'll how to use the rag to stir up the
rage of fanatics. The -Parnellites
are raising this disgraceful issue out Of
sheer vindictiveness and utter despera~
ton. The Tories, we are told, hail the
contention with delight. They hope to
use it with effect In the English cleo,
tions. They believe that all they have
to do is to tell the John. Bull bigot, than
whom there Is none more obstinate and
insular, that the Irish are under priesrlv
domination. and that if Ireland gets
Home-Ru]e she will b. in the bands of
the Pope ten minutes after. This 10 the
material Redmond and his remnant are
supplying, with all the acrimony of un~
dying hate to Ireland's enemies. These
are ''patriots'' Of the Pigot stripe.

gRAOEvILLE's NEW CHURCH.

It is with feeling Of great pride that
we publish to-day full account OF the
dedication of Holy Rosary Church.
Graceville. Though small town when
compared with several others in the
state, still it can boast of one OF the
finest Catholic churches in the North
wess. Handicapped IN many ways, but
determined 70 build handsome church,
the people OF Graceville have certainly
done nobly. The church is a beautiful
structure, and shows all abundance OF
good taste. The people Of Graceyille
have reason to feel proud of their new
temple, and their worthy pastor,
Father GEMS, who worked so hard and
so untiringly to get this handsome
building erected, deserves much praise.
In Father GEMS the Catholics OF Grace
vale have treasure, and The IRISH
STANDARD congratulates both pastor and
people in their great achievement.

THE Minneapolis city council is a
great body l. g., it thinks it is. at the
last meeting of that body Aid. Brazie
presented a resolution censuIing the
Board of Corrections and Charities for
inviting John West to retire from the
superintendency of the workh0use. All
the Republicans, with the exception of
Aid. Bradish, voted for the adoption of
the resolution, and of course it was
adopted. 1t seems queer to us that the
Republican members of the council do
not understand that they have no bust
ness to interfere with the Board of Cor
rections and Charities any more than
with the park board or chamber Of
commerce. Aid. Braze was once a
digni6ed (?) member of the committee
on health and hospitals, and as the
new board relieved him to a great eX
tent of his onerous duties he feels hurt
in nsequence. It will not hurt these
Republican aldermen any if they look
after their own duties as carefully as
they watch others.

BOSTON PILOT: The talk of Cork 8
election having been decided BY ''cleri-
cal dictation" is nonsense. The vote
was light, doubtlesslY owing to the ill.,
difference Of electors who were dis
gusted with the rancorous spirit Of the
campaign. Only about As per cent. Of
the total vote of the city was cast. At
the previous (contested) election, in
1885, the percentage was 55-the1e was
no contest in 1885. In 1880 when, the
cable int1mates, the ''clerical." were
opposed to Parnell, only 500 votes were
cast for Mr.. Murphy, a well-known
Catholic Liberal, against 1,505 for Par
nell. 1923 for DAILY, Houe Ruler, and
1897 for Goulding, Conservative. The
recent vote OF Cork represents the will
Of the Irish people as nearly as any pop
ular vote could do so, and the talk Of
Vatican control may ba dismissed as
idle words.

THE LATE STuRMS.

The storm that prevailed during the
week throughout the West and North
west has been exceptionally severe for
this season of the year. The majority
of Northwestern towns reported severe
losses to farmers, as they were totally
unpre pared for this cold snap. Last
Tuesday a report came from Blunt,
8. D.. TO the effect that farmer named
David Hall, of Sullv county, had lost
5000 head of sheep. This was, indeed,
very serious loss, and we regret that
this storm should haye proven SO DIS
astrous. The farmers in the Northwest
must not take too many things for
granted. The past four or five winters
have opened rather mildly. and then not
near so early as this. We all had an
idea that future winters would be mnch
the same as the past few, unfortunately
forgetting that a genuine Minnesota
winter means cold weather and lots Of IT..
Our farmers who have much stock
should not await until heavy snow
storm covers them all up before he
prepares to erect his winter sheds for
them. Sheep cannot stand great deal
of exposure, and they should be care
fully watched at this season of the year.
This storm came like thunderbolt out
Of clear sky upon Minnesota people
generally, and now that the effects are
beginning to be realized we all see how
important it is to be ready for winter
anytime after the first Of November. The
weather bureau men say we are going to
have abundance of rain before Christ
mas yet, and that mud in the Red River
Valley will be deeper than ever. 1t may
be that winter has not come to stay, but
to man who knows anything about
Minnesota winters, it looks as If it
would not leave for three or four months
to come.

to secure the next national Republican

one real Republican state now in the

that convention, it need surprise no Que
if Cincinnati should quietly Carry away

THERE vas a small strike among
some of the yard hands of the 500 road
last week, and several of them were ar
rested and convicted on the charge of
conspiracy. The court, however, did
not impose heavy fine, only SIS IN each
case. Strikes should be avoided, and
whenever undertaken there should be
at least moral certainty Of victory on
the part of the strikers, otherwise no
attempt at strike should be made. It
is foolish to throw ones job away, ua-
less a greater benefit is TO be gained

BISHOP M'G0LRlUK's RECEPTION

BISHOP M'GOLRlOK'S RECEPTION.
We were glad to see that when Bishop
McGolrick returned to his home in Du-
luth he was most enthusiastically re-
ceived by the people Of that enterprlsing
CITY. On arriving at the depot he was
met by the members of a number Of
Catholic societies and band, and es-
corted to the opera house where he was
greeted with all the welcome possible.
He was presented with an address, and
IN responding, thanked the good people
of Duluth for paying him so much honor.
He gave his audience a short history of
his six months's stay abroad, and
dwelled at great length on the elections
held in ireland during his stay there.
He characterized the accounts of the
events preceding the Cork election as
wilful misrepresentation He said the
reports sent to this side of the Atlantic
were gross exaggerations, and were not
true by any means. Now which Of the
two will the American people believe?
Bishop McGolrick or the man in the
employ of the London Times who sends
out these reports. The American peo-
pie will some day understand that every.
thing that comes over the cable is no
more reliable nor half so near the truth
as what our own Associated Press fur
nishes US with daily. We know that
day after day our newspapers publish q
large quantity OF telegraphic news which
is not exactly correct, and q great deal
of it very incorrect. It cannot be other
wise with such an army of men at work
ali over the country, and often limited
to one half the time necessary to do the
work right. Is 1t any wonder then that
when reports come from England. and
as they are gotten up in much the same
way, are far from being correct? But
when we consider that these same re 4
ports are dictated, or at least approved
by the London Tunes through whose
Office they are transmitted. we must not
wonder at the falaity off them, Every

ONE Of the widest stories that ever
appeared on the political horizon came
over the wires from New York the
other day. 1t was nothing more or less
than a compact between OK President
Cleveland and Roger. q. Mills, whereby
the former was to get the presidential
nomination and the latter become
speaker of the next congress; that the
editor of the New York Times was ap-
preached and Informed by Mills that in
case the latter should be elected speaker
he would appoint men on the silver
committee who would be opposed to
the free coinage Of silver, and on the
strength of this promise the editor
ceased opposing either Cleveland OF
Mills for the places in question. = Thie
of course is q good political yarn, and
does much credit to the imagination Of
the man VINO wrote it. Every one
knows that ex- President Cleveland liz
not Obliged to 20 to such extremes to
get the nomination for president; that
it will come to him without any opposi-
ton, and he will be elected too. Hao
the ingenious writer Of that article
named some one else but Cleveland the.
public might have been led to- bellows
that there really was something to the
story. Senator German was credited

ANOTHER FRESHMAN MURDERED


Another political prisoner has gone to the
great beyond, and the English govern
ment will have to explain why he died
so suddenly. Poor P. w. Nally, who
was sentenced in '83 to ten years penal
servitude, and who up to short time
ago was confined in Milbank prison,
London, died few days ago from cruel
treatment received at the hands of the
prison officials. The charges of cruelty
made against the prison keepers are. it
appears, we'll substantiated by the facts
brought out at the coroner's inquest.
Before Nally died, and when it became
evident that he must die. he was trans
ferred from Milbank to Mount Joy pris-
on, evidently for the purpose of shifting
the responsibility for ,he unfortunate
mans condition and death to the keepers
of the latter prison. The ooroner's jury.
however, made thorough investigation,
and here is what the cable says they
reported back:
1.-The charges made are the report of
careful inquiry into the facts by an
unbiased coroner's Jury, who, after hear
ing great deal of testimony, after ex-
aiming the keepers of the two prisons
and eliciting from them some most start
ling admissions, yesterday rendered a
ll-considered verdict to the effect that
P. W. Nally, instead Of dying from
typhoid fever as announced by the prison
officials, died from the effects of the
harsh and most cruel treatment the un-
fortunate Irishman had been compelled
to endure in Milbank prison. This
treatment, according to the verdict of
the coroner's jury, SO shattered Nally's
health that he was practically IN dying
condition when transferred to Mount
Joy prison."
Gladstone's attention has been called
to the case, and he promises to make
the Government blush for it's murder Of
Nally 1t was nothing less than murder
and the man who would dare rise to de-
fend the prison keepers for their terrible
treatment of Nally, would deserve life
sentence himself. We hope to see this
matter probed to the bottom, and the
responsibility placed where it belongs
There have been too many such murders,
in the past, and it is shame that such
barbarous treatment should be allowed
in any prison as was inflicted on poor
Nally. It is a good parallel of the
Cars worst treatment of his prisoners.
