PUGILISTIC.

ST. PAUL, March 24.-The fight
between Australian Smith and
Denny Kelliher, heavy weights, last
night resulted in favor of Smith in
eight rounds. 1t was one-sided
from the first, Kelliher being over
matched. In the eighth round,
Kelliher was knocked down six
times. Starting to get up again,
Smith struck at him and Kelliher
dropped as he was hit, and at once
claimed foul. A free fight ensued
among the spectators. In a little
while the police cleared the hall and
arrested the pugilists, and the ref
cree, Jimmy Manning, declared
Smith the winner.

SCANDALS IN HIGH LIFE.

Social scandals are becoming quite
common in high life in Englar j now.
Not very long ago the Prince of Wales
had to send one of his sons to India TO
avoid the disgrace Of being held up to
the people of the world as a member of
one of the most abominable societies in
existence. Others were forced to follow
the example of the princes son and quit
the country for time. But the moral
elements of London society were not long
to be left to reflect on this shocking state
of affairs, Scandal after scandal followed
one another in rapid succession, and now
comes Capt. Edmund Hope Verney,
member of parliament for North Buck

member of the London county council.

learned that warrants were issued for his
arrest. Crimes against women are be-
coming very commonplace affairs in Eng
land among the upper ten. This man
was magistrate. sworn to enforce the
laws without fear or favor, and yet be
has openly trampled the most sacred of
them under foot. He is good sample
of the Irish magistrates, who send Irish
men to prison for refusing to pay their
rents, while the landlords can wantonly
crush the peoples lives out by starvation
or have them shot down by the police
and soldiery if they refuse to relinqujsh
their homes at the landlords request.
There are a few magistrates in Ireland
whose reputation are everything that
could be desired. They are honest, up
right and just IN all heir dealings, but
they are so very few that they could be
counted on the fingers Of one hand. The
balance are bloodthirsty, heartless men,
whose ambition and chief aim in life are
to inhict the seyerest penalty the law al
lows on all men and women who come
before them, no matter what the offenses
are. Verney was such man. He was
most severe in his dealings on the bench
with the people who came before HIM,
and never lost an opportunity to lecture
prisoners on how essential good morals
we're for the we'll being of the commu
nifty. Yet during all this time he was
committing the most horrible crimes,
and though the Tory press knew of his
w.ckedness they had not the courage to
come out and expose the villain. It was
not until Truth got onto the case that
VerneY was obliged to osuccumb. Truth
spent time and money IN hunting down
this man who had apparently under
taken to ruin every home in London
and, to this papers credit. it succeeded
in gathering evidence sufficient to con-
vjct him hundred times over. We hope
the wretch, if he ever returns to Eng
land, will be punished as he deserves.

Indian children attending 58 Catholic

TO Washington or the Indian agencies in

q snap of his finger for them. Like q

vary church in this city. What justice
or fair play can Catholic Indians expect
from sGolightly' Morrill's professor of
history, Mr.. Morgan? Archbishop Ire

can, the work Of anti Catholic bigots like
Morgan and his satellites. As for the

versity. IN which he says. "A case might
arse when Catholic would obey the
Pope of Rome instead of the civil power,
but there is no way in which the body Of
Catholics can array themselves against
the civil power. Whenever the interests
of the United States are at stake, the
Catholics Of this country will rise up as
one man to defend our rights. Ap-
plause. There will never come from
the vatican measure calculated to lp-
jure this country"
DR.. Burrell has often run his head
against such stone wall in this city be-
fore. He is the last man in Minneapolis
chat should talk about selling faith for
merchandise. It Is we'll known fact
that during the past year, ever since he
told Westminster people that he would
not leave them, that he was In clandes-
tine correspondence with the Dutch Re-
formed church. He Was opposed short
time ago 10 8 revision of the Presbyterian
creed, but he now goes to occupy pull
pit that in many particulars is different
from the one he filed in Minneapolis.
No sane man can stand up and say that
DR.. Burrell is religiously interested in
this change. It Is money. good sound
worth 100 cents to the dollar
that he is working for, otherwise he
would not abandon his faith to take up
another. IF DR.. Burrell will tell us how
he can harmonize the creed of the Dutch
Reformed church with Presby yterian1sm

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL NETTING.

THE executive council of the Irish Ma
tionai League of America met III secret
session last week in Cincinnati. and con
sidered matters of interest to the Irish
cause, This was perhaps the most I'M
portant meeting that the committee has
held for some time. President Fitzger.
aid, who attended the meeting, expressed
himself as we'll pleased with the commit
tees work. Among the many things con-
sidered was that of restoring harmony
among the Irish members Of parliament,
and 10 that end the committee devoted
much time. AS to the probable outcome
of the committees good work ii is hard
to say just at present, as MIR. Parnell
must be communicated with. President
Fitzgerald is. however, very hopeful OF
q compromise and has written to ireland
on the matter. We ale very glad to
know that the executive committee
touched on this matter. There will be
no hope for Ireland's cause as long as
her representatives in parliament keep
wrangling over the leadership. IF Pres
ident Fitzgerald succeeds in bringing
the two factions together he will have
done we'll. 1t is very important that
something in this direction be done at
once, as the Irish people cannot be TOO
we'll prepared for the general election
which may be announced at any time.
There are now few bills before parlla-
ment, such as the Irish land bill pro-
posed by Balfour, that the government
is very anxious to pass, and after that
they will likely consult with Lord Sails
bury on dissolution. Should Salisbury
dissolve parliament at the close of the
present session, and should the Irish
parliamentary party find itself in it's
present disoreanjzed state then. there
will be more Tory mem bers returned
from ireland than that unhappy country
can afford to send to Westminster. It
will be terrible blow to e;and's fight
for independence if another Tory govern
ment is put in power. Salisbury and
Balfour are doing their duty by their
party. They are strengthening their
weak points all over the country, and are
SO pleased with the outlook that they
are making converts in Ireland now by
distributing free soup and paying their
laborers 25 cents day. 1t certainly be-
hooves the Irish members OF parliament
to come together, and bury their differ
ences. Unless they do good many
seats in the next parliament will be filled
by Tories. We hope the step taken by
the executive committee in Cincinnati
will be productive of much good; that
Parnell and MCCARTHY will come to-
gether and forget the past, and unite as
of old on the one great subject, home
rule for Ireland.
