is given with emphasis. The Irish
question is not 1nsoluble. But the
writer declares distinctly that Balfour
and his predecessors in Office took the
wrong tack. lone TRUTH SAYS Mr..
Hannigan, sis writ large across the
sombre pages of Ireland's history. and
it is this: that the Irish people cannot
be governed by the strong hand. and
cannot be compelled to respect, nor
even to obey laws which appear to them
supe1f1uous or tYrannlcal. It is posi-
BILE to grind down people by sheer
force of arms. and thus to make them
apparently submit, as Oliver Cromwell
did. but the methods of that great Eng
lishman failed to subdue the indcmita-

singular combination of LOYALTY and
revolt, of childlike faith and fierce in.

THE IRISH QUESTION.

The Irish ENJOYS, who spent the past
week in Chicago. do not intend to re-
turn to Iceland for some time. These
gentlemen are in this country IN the IN
terest OF Mr., Parnell and of course are
meeting with such receptions as Irish
men from abroad would naturally re-
cieve at the hands Of their countrymen
here. We have. for the uost part re.
Trained from criticising Mr.. Parnell for
the course he has taken, believing that
differences such as now exist IN the
Irish parliamentary party would adjust
themselves much sooner if left Were
they belong-in Ireland. But We can
not see what good we can do by remain
ing quiet, when We accomplish nothing
in the way Of restoring harmony in the
Irish ranks. We believe q mistake was
made when the representatives Of either
action we're received as toey were here

then pending. The republicans were
successful and we all know the kind Of
tariff reform cKinley and Reed gave
us. 1t was tariff increase, and though
these same gentlemen have labored we'll
and industrious to convince the people
that the Mckinley tariff bill was just the
thing. they have made no conversions.
Mckinley is high tariff man, and
therefore an enemy to our prosperity.
He is the friend of the manufactures and
an enemy of the consumer. No matter
how industrlously he may labor in the
interest of Mckinley from now until
election, he will find when the votes are
counted that he has greater opinion of
himself than the people of Ohio have.

to Ireland to settle their differences first.
BY encouraging one or the other fac
ton we merely add fuel to the flames.
Better let US pour oil on the troubled
waters and quiet the excited ones. 1t is
well to talk IN this strain, but such adj
wise has little effect on the Parnellite
delegates now in Chicago. To add to
the confusion of the hour Mr.. Parnel
has decided to come to this country in
August and remain here until after the
Brlt,more convention. which will con-
vene in November. His representatives
here say that he will fight for the leader
ship to the bitter end. Here is Chi
cago despatch CT few days ago which
covers the situation from Parnell
standpoint: 81. j. O'Kelly, M. F.,
chairman of the Parnell ENJOYS, denies
that it is the purpo.e Of the ENJOYS to
bring their mission to a close being
hopeless of making any Roadway in this
country. He says be will form COM
mittee of prominent Instantaneous in
this city to assist in the work here and
will then go from this city and organize
similar bands of determined men who
will stick to Parnell to the end. He
says, furthermore, that the rumor that
the work is to be abandoned grew out OF
the fact that Parnell himself has made
up his mind to come to America month
after next to attend the Baltimore con-
vention in November, and wishes to
have q consultation with VIM. Redmond
before he leaves Ireland. Redmond, at
ParneLPs request, will go to Ireland and
report to Parnell. The leader wishes to
leave Redmond on the other side, in Ire
land, during his own absence in Amer
ica." We regret very much to see this
fight transferred from ireland TO the
United States. The people of Ireland
should settle this question among them.
selves and not ask America to interfere.
1t may be good generalshlp on Parnell's
part, but it Will be death to the cause,
Once the IRISH people in this country get
mixed up III the squabble there is no
telling where or when it Will end. It is
like spreading the disease for Farnell to
come here now. Harmony cannot be
restored by quarreling. and We trust
the people Of Chicago as we'll as the
United States, will not encourage h
continuance Of the present troubles.

THE jury in the personal injury case
of Chas. Gibson VS.. the Minneapolis,
St. Paul Il isault Ste Marie railroad,
brought IN verdict in favor of the
plaintiff at St. Paul Friday morning,
assessing his damages at $4,000. This
is the largest amount, with one excep-
ton, ever given in such case before in
this state. Personal injuries if serious
cannot be cured by money. but the vic
Tins can be made reasonably comfort
able by it. A few more such verdicts
would make railroads understand that
they cannot cut and kill as they please.

The Omaha Recorder has this to say
of Archbishop Ireland VIII IN we think
is very appropriate: The people of the
northwest are to be congratulated on
what appears to be reliable news that
Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul is to be
made cardinal at the consi story to be
held in Rome next December. The
Catholic people Of the northwest love
and admire the distinguished Prelate of

patriotism as citizen. Nor is respect

lies or to the northwest. 1t extends
beyond the pale of the Church. and be.

CATHOLIC MIRROR: There is no
abatement OF the cigarette nuisance

Of the indescribablY malodorous and in"

the increase, especially among the jul

is frequently directly traceable to addic-

to exert any influence upon the minds
Of its slaves. Parents who have intel

most active crusaders against the de-

The result Of the erich Tribune dam
age suit was something very different
from what the public expected after
they had heard the evidence. The jury
went out of its way when it considered
the possible results of a verdict for the
defendant. 1t was not the province Of
the jury to consider what would likely
follow should erich fail to make out q
case. It was their business to return a
verdict in accordance with the evidence
without any regard to whether erich
and others associated with him should
be called on by the state authorities to
answer to the charge of arson. If erich
burned his home to get the insurance
thereon he should suffer for that crime,
and no consideration. either family or
pecuniary, should nave entered int O the
minds of the jury in deciding The case.
If he did not burn his house then he
should have been awarded heavy dam
ages. Orr jury system is fast becoming
dangerous affair, and unless some
thing is done very soon to change
things considerably. the law-abiding
element in the community will be
forced to teach jurymen what their duty
is. Mayor Winston did not wait long
after the jury returned their milk and
water verdict before he removed erich
and Griffin from the force. For this he
deserves the thanks of the community.
Both men are better in the position
they occupy now. than when they were
before Mayor Winston removed them.
The police department could not
afford to have men of their reputation
there, The efficiency of the department
would be seriously impaired had they
been retained. The public can rest as
sured that as long as Mayor Winston is
at the head of municipal affairs. no
police officer will be allowed to do as he
pleases. The mayor has the thanks of
the people irrespective of party for the
impartial way he is running things. 1t
is said by those who seem to know that
there are other removals to be made in
the near future in the police depart
ment, and if these officers deserve dis
missal. the public NAV rest assured
that such removals will be made, The
possible cases are said to have grown
out of the erich case.

MANOR WINSTON has demonstrated
more than once during the past six
months his fitness for the Office ho holds.
He has vetoed several measures passed
by the city council, and in not one case
have the fair minded people Of Mime
apolis disapproved of his course. His
desire is to do what is right, and to &C.
complish that he has only, to fall back
on his own sound judgment. His latest
veto came in good time. Some MEM
bers of the council committee on fire
got it into their heads that thev must
have new fire headquarters, and to
that end got resolution through the
council legallzing the sale o. $4,000
worth of bonds. Already the city has
all the bonds out that it can take care
of, and the idea of issuing more was
foolish. Though the people of Mime
apolls who keep tab on local affairs
asked certain members of the council to
vote against this 100000 resolution, it
passed just the same, but Mayor Wins
ton planted his little veto on it, and
that was the last of the resolution.
Minneapolis IS to be congratulated on
having mayor like Mayor Winston.
He is honest, intelligent and fearless in
the discharge OF his duties, always
watchful OF the city's best interests and
above the plane of the politician. Min
neapolis has had many elegant gentle
men at the head of affairs, but not one
Of thom proved so able for the Office as
Mayor Winston.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.

There is no good reason why Mime"
apolis should not get the Republican
National Convention, and there are
many reasons why that convention
should be held here. The great terri
tory lying west Of Chicago has done
many good things for the Republican
party, more than we hope it will ever do
again. This convention should not 60
to Chicago, for that city got enough
when the people Of the United States de-
cided to hold the Worlds Fair there.
The Northwest worked and voted with
Chicago TO beat New York, and for
these valuable services Chicago practi'
calIy agreed to stand by She Northwest
in the fight for the Republican National
Convention. Since then Chicago has
evinced rather hungry spirit in this
convention fight. II wants to get all ia
sight. For MANY years past Chicago
has had the conventions of both parties
and it is time that some other city with
as good hotel accommodations should
get chance. Minneapolis has just as
COON hotel accommodations as Chicago
and better in some respects. Our con-
vention hall is larger than any hall in
Chicsg go that convention was ever held
n, and what more do the people OF the
country want? But Notwithstanding
Chicagos greed we will still continue
the good fight. Democrats Of Mlnneap-
Oils as we'll as Republicans are interested
in getting this convention, and we are
glad to see all, irrespective of party put
ting their shoulders to the wheel in
time. Minneapolis could not get bet.
ter advertising card than that same Re-
publican convention. Thousands OF
people would be here from all parts of
the country, and they would see the
liveliest city in the Northwest Many
of them would, no doubt. be induced TO
come here permanently. These conven-
tons do more for city than anything
else could possibly do, and now our peo-
pie should not let up in their struggles
for success. We conide IN the abili.
ty of our people, irrespective of party to
get this convention, and all should do q
little. A sum Of money large enough
to defray all expenses and the proper
entertainment of the delegates must be
secured before we can go out boldly and
demand this convention. A committee
has this matter IN hand now, and are
meeting with very good success. We
should all contribute what little we can
to this fund, and if we do, there is no
doubt about Minneapolis getting that
convention.

The ruinous high tariff, which the
Republicans Of this county have i'm
posed on us, Is now going TO cost Uncle
Sam IN only few cases no less than
$50 100000. A Philadelphia dispatch
covers the case fully, Here ia what 1t
says: *'The jury in the suit OF Meyer &
Dickinson against the government to
recover excess of duties levied on ma
terial used as hat trimmings, returned
q verdict of 1882 30 for the plaintiffs.
The government will appeal the verdict
TO the supreme court. BY tbs verdict OF
the jury in the case, the government is
made liable for from $50, 100000 to $780,
600 600 which it has collected III duties
from importers of millinery materials
IN various parts OF the country. The
present case was a test one to fnd out
the right of the government in the mat
ter of collecting duty on goods IN dis
pute. The government claims the
goods were dutiable at so per cent ad
valorem under the clause OF all goods,
wares and manufactures Of silk Or Of
which silk is the component material OF
chief value" The robber tariff costs
the country millions Of dollars every
veal. and still the people will so on
voting high tariff men into Office. How
can these poor delQded fools satisfy
themselves that the higher the tariff
the better for them? Taxing people
to make them rich is the way to put it,
and if this theory is the correct one
why not double the tariff and make US
heard Of Another year and things will
be different.

W0ULD-BE GOVERNOR MCKINLEY.

Major Mckinley, the father of the
robber tariff bill now in force, has been
nominated by the Ohio republicans for
governor. OF course someone had to
make the sacrifice, and as Mckinley was
there last fall he thought he could do
worse than come forward for another in
terment. Of course he does not expect
to be elected, but merely figures on
making himself as much an object Of
sympathy as possible. No honest man
who understands the nature Of the no.
to1ious tariff bill he pushed through
congress last year, could conscientiously
vote for him for governor, and particu-
larry when such an honest, clean and
fearless man as Governor Campbell is
looking for a Reelection. Governor
Campbell will be his own successor aud
Mckinley will have more time to ex-
plain how it happened. There is how
ever. some feeling in the democratic
ranks against Gov. Campbell, but it will
not amount to great deal. The cause
Of this little feeling is due to the stand
the governor took on matters generally
when he assumed the responsibilities of
chief executive of Ohio. Campbell
made good governor. He spared
neither pains nor time in unearthing Re
publican rottenness wherever ne thought
it was IN hiding. We all well rernem-
Der the able and fearless manner he
went about the smashing Of the board
OF public works in Cincinnati when he
found that jobbery and corruption were

again. Now what has Major Mckinley
to commend himself to the people of
Ohio IN his ambition to be governor of
that state? The answer is simple. We
all know he is very ambitious man bat
ambition without Judgment only serves
to make the man more ridiculous.
What worse spectacle could any man
make of himself than Mckinley made of
himself in Washington last winter?
And for all that he had the nerve to ask
his constituents for an Endorsement, but
they wisely decided that private life was
the better place for the major, and so he
was not reelected. But to make mat
tiers worse he came forward a few days
ago and begged through his friends for
