cleaning that surprised even his most
intimate friends. Democrats as we'll as
Republicans were called down when
ever they deserved it, and he was man
enough to keep up the fight. He was
there for the good Of the state. and in
deed the state has much to be thankful
for to her noble. conscientious, fearless
governor. OF course he will be his own
successor, as Major Mckinley does not
expect to be elected. Mckinley was the
father of the most Ubiquitous tariff bill
that ever was passed, and the people OF
Ohio know that too we'll. We here IN
Minnesota can see how the necessarles
in life have increased in price, while
wages have been on the decline. Some
may say this is not SO, but let US ask
those people who dispute our statement
why it is that eggs alone are from five
to ten cents a dozen dearer now than
they were year ago? Flour is also
dearer, and the same can be said OF all
the other articles in the grocery store
except sugar. Mckinley will be beaten
for governor in Ohio, and we hope to
see him buried 50 deep that he will
never again be heard of in the world po'
litical.

THOUGH Minneapolis had more
strangers in her midst last week than
at any other time in her history, still
there were fewer cases of pocket pick
ing reported than when Forepaugh' s
circus was here. This was due to the
splendid work done by the police. who
gathered in all conspicuous characters
as they came along. The visitors too,
were careful and watched their valua
bles. In such a gathering as was at
the exposition during the week we are
surprised that so many escaped "un-
touched" Pickpockets invariably Sc
lect such places and gatherings to op-
crate in, but the watchful eye of the
ubiquitous police struck terror into the
hearts of the boldest. The police de-
partment deserves much credit for the
able way it handled so many people in
and out of the exposition building and
the visitors bestowed much merlted
praise Oh the boys in blue.

IRISH WORLD: The latest steamer

lea brings us the Uhilian papers con-

Republic and OF the negotiations for
the restoration Of peace, in which
United States Minister Egan acquitted
himself with such credit to himself and
to the United States. The Chlllan
Times of Valparaiso. of date OF Nav

has just set in," which suggests the al
tered course of the seasons below the
equator. We give elsewhere its ac-
count of the peace negotiations IN
which Minister Egan was selected as
the custodian Of the documents. 1t
shows the high regard in which the
United States government and our dis
tinguished representative in Chill are
held in that country in spite OF the in
fiuences which were brought to bear on
MIR. Egan's arrival in Chill by British
interests to create estrangemet and dis
trust. We congratulate Minister Egan
upon the signal ability which has mark
ed his guardianship OF the interests of
the United States since bis acceptance
of it's high and responsible trust.

at any time, the renaotest intention Of
giving up the leadership Of his party,
bat on the contrary, he intends to take
up vigorous. personal part in the next
struggle for party supremacy in the
house of commons. The letter was
written by Mr.. Gladstone himself, and
shows, neither in phraseology nor CHR
ography, the slightest sign of the wan
ing power ascribed to the writer by
those who would gladly see him aban-
don the field and cease the activity with
which he has hitherto INSTRUCTED their
political path" Indeed Ireland has
much to be grateful for IN this. There
is no man in the Liberal party in Eng
land capable of leading the party as
Gladstone has. We know that Mr..
Morley is very able man, and means
to do what is right. but when it comes to
leading English Liberals he would be a
very light weight compared with Mr..
Gladstone. The people Of England
have more confidence in Mr. Gladstone's
ability as statesman than in any other
man there. He has demonstrated be-
yond question that he is the
greatest statesman in Europe He was
always above the plane of the English.
man in that ne always refused to accept
any titles that the Grown on more than
one occasion saw fit to honor him with.
He wanted to be plain William Ewart
Gladstone, and the world honors him
the more for it. He will soon return tc
his seat in parliament where he will
fight the old battle of Ireland's rights
over again. He, like every other liberty
loving man, is anxious to see ireland
get her rights, and to that end will the
Grand Old Man labor. He is confident
that the coming general election will re-
turn the Liberals to power, and then

MINNEAPOLIS took rest last Thurs
day long enough TO lay the foundation
stone of the new city hall and court
house. There was grand parade, and
Chief Henderson of the police depart

he honored the occasion with no less
than $50 patrolmen. Mayor Winston
rode in the same carriage with Governor
Merriam, and Mayor Smith of St. Paul,

the Judge and congress except his poll
tics" Editor Wardwell does not know
what is good for the county when he
takes exception to democracy. Judge
Copmy is a good Democrat, an able
lawyer, and will some day in the near

GLADSTONE WILL REMAIN.

We are glad to learn that Mr.. Glad
stone does not propose to resign the
leadership OF the Liberal party as pub
lished by the Tory press few days ago.
We know that MIR. Gladstone was much
downcast and is still much depressed
over the death of his son William, and
we would not have been surprised to
have heard that the Liberal leader had
resigned. But Mr.. Gladstone knows
that he owes debt to his country and
like an honest man he wants to liquid
ate it before he passes to his great re-
ward. That debt is nothing less than
the giving OF home rule to Ireland. MIR.
Gladstone sees the impossibillty of re-
storing prosperity to Ireland without
giving Ireland the power to make her
own laws. Until he has seen such bill
passed and approved, he will not re-
sign the Liberal leadership. A London
cable of 18th ,nst., has the following
to say on the recent rumors regarding
the "Grand Old Man's' political future:
For some time past reports have been
in persistent circulation alleging that
Mr.. Gladstone. because of his advanced
age and failing health had determined
to abdicate the leadership of the Lib
eral party in favor of some younger and
more vigorous man, and much specula-
tion has been INDUCED in as to which of
the more prominent among The lieuten-
ants of the ex-premier would succeed
him. The rumors gave rise to such con-
fdent predictions on the part of the po-
l1tical opponents of Mr.. Gladstone that
he would never lead the Liberal party
in another general election campaign,
that many of his followers were induced
to accept the statements as based upon
personal information to that effect. Re-
Gently close personal friend Of Mr..
Gladstone wrote TO him calling atten-
ton to these reports and asking him to
say what part, if any, he would take in
the coming campaign. On Saturday q
reply was received which is given to the
public this morning. Mr.. Gladstone
writes that he has not, nor has he had

LAST week the national convention
of the Christian Endeavor was held III
this city, and fully $4,000 delegates were
here. The convention was held in
the exposition building and though sew
eral thousand people from the CITY WIS.,
tied the hall during the different ses-
sions there was room to spare. This
shows conclusively how we'll we could
accommodate the delegates TO the ma
tional Republican Convention, it the
committee should see fit to give it to US.
Our hall is large enough, and for hotel
accommodations our city cannot be
beaten. We took care Of $4,000 strang-
ers last week and the hotels were not
overcrowded either. The visitors we're
all loud in their praises of Minneapolis
and her citizens. Hundreds of these

pie Minneapolis citizens are. Now we
are ready to entertain the delegates to
the Republican National Convention.
Though that convention will not meet
for Year yet, still we are in a position
now to say to the world that il $4,000
people should come to Minneapolis IN
one day we could accommodate them.
Thousands Of rooms that had been en-
gagged prior to the meeting Of the En-

The Minneapolis city council is a
queer body. At it's last meeting it par
TALLY abolished the Office Of dog catcher
by tabling new ordinance prepared at
the request of dog catcher Hidden.
which placed the dog catcher on a sal
ary. Now what does the council mean?
The Office of dog catcher is of more ina
portance to the people of Minneapolis
than it is to the man who fills that Office.
The council would have the Office abol-
ished altogether, and let the city be
overrun with a lot of dangerous as we'll
as useless ours that ought to be killed.
That will never do unless the council
adopts the suggestion given short time
ago by THE IRISH STANDARD to pass
an ordinance making it a misdemeanor,
punishable by fine of not less than
$40, and not more than $500, with the
customary alternative in the workhouse
for the owner of any dog to allow the
same to run at large without first nav
ing procured a license fOr the same.
Now such an ordinance we believe
would hold good in the supreme court,
and would do away with all this trouble
attending the catchiag and killing Of
unlicensed dogs. Mayor Winston will
devise some scheme OF killing Off these
miserable, homeless dogs if the city does
not do something soon. The CITY coun-
Gil spends lot of valuable time wrang-
ling over nothing, and the sooner they
get down and give us a little sensible
legislation-if they can-the better.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Already the governments Of the differ
ent European countries are beginning to
talk Worlds Fair, and think that they
should best1r themselves in time SO that
their exhibits will be worthy OF the
country they came from. Well, we do
not care what the motive is that actu-
ates these foreign countries in taking
an interest in our great fair, provided
they will do 80. We want a great fair
here. enc that will eclipse anything chat
has ever been held before. The exposi~
tiou held at Paris last year was perhaps
the finest affair of the kind ever seen.
when we come to consider that out
side of the E1ffal tower more interest
was taken in the electrical departments
than anything else. The electric ap-
raratus that was seen there was simply
marvellous. and it all bore the trade
mark OF our country. The electrical
display which this country exhibited
was so far ahead OF anything Europeans
expected that they simply gazed in ut
fer aston1shment on what was there.
now that we are going to have great
fair, Europe Of course will be anxious to
show us what she can do. England is
already preparing to present herself for
admission, though we must confess-lf
the London Times tells the truth-that
she is actuated by considerable selfish
ness. When was it that England was
not selfish? a London cable OF July
18th has this TO say on the fair: ''Ihe
Times to-day, in long article On the
worlds fair, says thut it is not doubted
chat the exhibition will in many re-
spects surpass all exhibitions previously
held, Concerning the advantages to
English exhibitors, the times says that
"while it is not doubted that no advan-
tage can accrue to some traders, 1t must
be remembered that the exhibition is
likely to attract visitors from many
countries, including China, Japan,
South America and Australia and from
many markets in which American and
English manufacturers are now, or soon
may be, in competition, while even in
America itself, the perhaps only tempo
rary existence of high import duties
may not induce the weather. portions
of the community to deny themselves
the luxury of English manufactures IL
those departments in which England
stands without rival. The moro they
see the wares England can produce, the
more certain they are to become i'm
patient at the system which loads these
wares with almost prohlbitorY dutles.'
The Times, We can see, wants the gov
eminent TO do its part because, as it
says, many countries will be represented
here, particularly those South Ameri-
can countries whose trade relations with
us are very promising indeed. The
Times hopes to have England build her
self up in South America by making a
good display at the Worlds Fair. But
that day is gone when England can
compete with thu country for South
American trade. We will be glad to see
her exhibit here just the same, and we
hope if she puts any Irish manufactured
articles in her show window she will
label them ssIrish Manufacture.
