latest productions of the most reliable
manufactures in their respective lines.
Our business men are composed of the
material that enable them to success
fully meet competition from any
source, therefore they have established
a reputation for Redwood Falls as
trading centre, that brings trade from
a very large section of the surround
ing country. The court house is an
imposing structure which was just
completed only few months ago and
would not suffer by comparison with
the best in the state. Of the numer-
GUS pretty cities of which Minnesota
can boast, none is smore noted for
beauty than the city Of Redwood Falls.
Among the many things which go to
make beautiful city, the most i'm
portant is the site selected for its loca-
ton, and mistake, once made, in the
natural lag of the land selected upon
which city is to be built, can never
be overcome py artificial means. A
city may attain large growth and be-
come an important and commercial
emporium, but it can lay no claim to
being beautiful unless it has been built
upon beautiful site. In this respect
Redwood Falls is particularly

favored, and there IS, perhaps, no one
thing that creates more Favorable i'm
preston upon person visiting the
city for the first time, than the beauty
of it's location. 1t is built upon the
gently rising hills from the river, Civ
ing scope of observation that pre-
sents most picturesque view, and is
surrounded by undulating hills and
shady woodland.
The Redwood Falls from which the
city derives it's name, and has done
much to give the name of Redwood
city to the world, is a most charming
waterfall, and elicits the praise and
admiration of all who are privileged to
gaze upon its foaming and ceaseless
roar, as it wildly leaps over the rocky
edge into the boiling abyss below-a
most soul inspiring scene. And as
one gazes upon its pure sparkling
beauty, lost in the depth OF thought,
the words of Byron fit through
his mind, "Not that 1 love man less,
but nature more
Another principal charm of Red
wood Falls, however, lies in the loca-
ton of her wealth of beautiful homes,
which reflect not only the ability of
the architect, but likewise the culture
and refinement of the inmates. Red
wood Falls is noted as city of home
owners and many of the residences
are models of architectural beauty,
while their surroundings and furnish

ture among its people. Nor is this

pride of every community, and often

done in the essential branches will

NTN0 which the caprici-

permitted to drift
down to us. Nor is it one of the treas
ures which lie buried beyond recovery
under"T tide whosewaves are years.
There is no spirit of Attic breathing
through the records telling of the yalor
of barbarian founders; no pre- historic
ruins or relics of dead ages cucumber
this fair and fertile country. The
story of the rapid development of
Southern Minnesota is but chapter
of American life with it's push and
restless energy. The pioneers, many
of whom are still living happy in the
retrospect of labor we'll done, were not
the "sons of holy gods culling the
fruits of illustrious wisdom from I'M
harried land,' but were the sons of the
unconquerable Anglo Saxon who gave
to the world the Magma Charta, polit-
ical and religious liberty, and whose
onward march has planted civilization
and the cross wherever it's sturdy sons
have gone. There is but little ro-
nance connected with the infant DAYS
of this prosperous country. Its early
history deals more largely in the mod
est yet manly experiences of the ones
who toiled and laid the foundations of
prosperity that has continued and
widened and will continue to grow un-
til the brightest dreams of the most
hopeful have been realized. There is
probably no part of the great west that
affords such an unlimited field to writ
ers as does this prosperous and
wealthy section. Even a modest re-
cital of her many advantages may
seem to strangers an overdrawn tale.
Yet to the ones who have lived here
and enjoyed her prosperity and have
witnessed her growth, the following
comprehensive review of this favored
spot will be recognized as truthful
description.

concise writer and is a frequent con-
tributor to the press. The church has
a very large Sunday school which has
membership of 140, superintended
by Hon. O. B. Turrell The Christian
Endeavor society is an important
auxiliary to the church and is largely
attended by the young people of the
town. The present pastor makes a
speciality of work with the children
and the young; exhibits great tact in
working among them, and has been
very successful in welding already
strong influence over them.
THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
The Christian church was organized
more than fifteen years ago, located in
the eastern part of the city and is the
church home of many of our best fam
lilies. Since the date of its existence,
it has steadily grown until to-day it is
one of the strongest religious institu-
tions in the city, and has done its
share in gathering the "wanderer"
home. Prof. M. H. Upton is its spir-
itual adviser and instructor and he
has earned the reputation of being one
of the most forcihle and fluent speak
ers in the city. The church offers a
pleasant home and abundant oppor-
tunities for active usefulness to incom-
ing citizens, who will receive cordial
welcome from an earnest pastor and
warmhearted people. During his
brief ministration here, Rev. Upton
has got a strong hold on the commun-
ity by the sincere enthusiasm he
brings into his work.
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST.
The Seventh Day Advcntists have
quite strong organization in the city
which contains some of our worthiest
citizens. Their church is a frame
structure and is located in the eastern
part of the city, and is entirely free
from indebtedness. They cordially in
vite strangers who may be sojourning
in the city to attend their services
which are held at 12:l5 on the Sab1
bath, prayer meeting Wednesday ey1
enings. All arc kiudly invited to att
tend these devotional exercises.
CATHOLIC CHURCH.
The Roman Catholic church has a
small congregation in the city, yet it
is growing and has a nice frame
church. Father P. Rosen is pastor.
W. It. T..
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union is in a fourishing condition, and
has fine suite of neatly appointed
reading rooms and parlors, provided
with all the current literature of the
day. Strangers receive a cordial vel
come. Mrs. Lusk has been secretary
for the past two years. They are
body of earnest workers, active chris
tians and greatly interested in the re-
form of the universal social evil, and
the w. G.. T. [. are doing as much or
more than any other organization
toward ushering in the millennium.

CIVIL WAR IN IRELAND.

The news was flashed from London the
other day that civil war in Ireland is inc
yitable. The Orangemen of Ulster are
preparing for a monster demonstration
in Belfast next month ard are threaten
inc to resist Home Rule by force of arms,
if it is ever granted by the British parlia-
ment. The Marquis of Londonderry, a
late viceroy OF Ireland, and the Duke of
Devonshire, better known as Lord Hart
inpton, have made incendiary addresses
urging the Orangemen to resistance
The Marquis declared that if Home Rule
Is carried, there must be civil war in the
island. The Duke reiterated the hack

occurred as the giving Of Home Rule to

SAYS writer in the Buffalo Union and
Times: It is a strange fact that the best
of the standard plays in the English Ian
guage and the browning glories OF the
English lyric stage came from Irish
pens. OF course the immortal Shakes
peare must be excepted, for his peer has
been produced by no land or place. But
since his day the most prolific, the wit
test, the most ingenious and original
writer's for the stage have been of Irish
birth or parentage. The poems of Eng
fish opera came from the pens of Kelly,
Rookie, Barnett, Wallace, Balfe, Sullivan,
Collier and Kelleher; but where are the
home productions to equal the dramatic
works of Goldsmith, Banim, Griffin,
Lover, Brougham, Boucicault, Knowles,
Sheridan or Wills? They exist not nor
is there any sign that any writer now
living can equal them in beauty of die
ton, poetic fancy, human interest and
caustic wit The sons of the Gael sank
their identity in the whole absorbing
term British, but their works have a
character that will stamp them Irish"
in the manufacture, no matter how the
world may seek to deny the fact.

ter, but the followers OF Knox (another
suspended priest having detected him
in snme swindiing transactions, he was
rejected by them and compelled to seek
''new fields and pastures green" Again
he returned to Illinois and got into hot
water, but unfortunately he succeeded in
carrying with him large number Of
French Canadians whom he induced to
apostatize from the faith of their fathers.
His book entitled FIFTY Years in the
Church of Rome" is a tissue of falsehood
and Misrepresentation from beginning to
end, and his TRADES against Rome on the
lecture platform are of the same charac-
ter. It is much to the credit of the law
abiding Catholics Of every nationality in
this city that no attemps has been made
by them to interrupt this lying black
guard in his crusade AGAINST Catholicity.

LAWRENCE HgYroN, in recent article
in the Forum, draws in his review a
striking parallel of John L. Sullivan go
ing through the southern states upon
professional tour, lodged in the best
apartments Of the best hotels, riding in
parloc cars; and of Frederick Douglass
travelling over the same roads and visit
ing the same towns but a few days later
and compelled to accept seeond-class &C
commodations and to dine, like leper,
in den set apart for q contaminated
and communicating race. Mr. Hutton
calls the former ''the incarnation of bru-
tality," the latter "a talented, educated,
and refined gentleman, whose name will
grow in the history Of the Nation as a
heroic figure, while the other will only
be known for short time after his de-
mise as acrunkard, ruffian. slugger,"
who knocked out for money several other

For the first time in twenty years the
city of St. Paul + as turned its back on
the Democracy in a municipal cam
paign. Tuesdays election proved veri-
table Waterloo and for the next two years
our Republican brethren will undonbt-
eddy give the people of that city such a
government as they have never had be-
fore and perhaps never will have again.
It will prove hummer in every respect,
il campaign promises shall be fulfilled -
so much SO, in fact, that people in our
sister city will soon have occasion to
doubt the wisdom of this radical change.
Perhaps there were a few among the
"gang," as they have been dubbed, who
deserved defeat-unquestionably there
were-but it is to be deeply deplored that
the party as whole should suffer d feat
because few were lacking in civility or
integrity. OF this we feel assured, how
ever, the defeat of last Tuesday will prove
a blessing in disguise to thu Democracy
of st Paul.

FATHER MALONE, the "fghting' editor
of the Colorado Catholic, has challenged
any champion of the P. o. S. A. to meet
him in public debate to discuss the merits
of Myers history which is used as text
book in the public schools of Denver.
The book lis full of Misrepresentation
against the Catholic Church, and Father
Malone is ready to prove it before five
Protestant judges to be selected for the
occasion. No champion of the anti
Catholic organization has yet taken up
the challenge The same book is used in
the Minneapolis public schools, but no
Catholic priest or layman has objected to
it, or brought the matter to the attention
of the Board of Education.

give boldness and courage to the cow
ardly Orangemen. The Irish people need
not be alarmed, and apparently they pay
but little attention to the menaces OF the
Orangemen and their Tory sympathizers.
It is futile to resort to the sword at this
late day. The Irish people are eminently
able to cope with this contemptlble fac
ton, if England keeps neutral. They
know the character of these b'ood-thirsty
fellows for cowardice in the battle field.
At the Battle of the Boyne the Irish fol-
lowers of King William fed in confusion
from the steel Of Irish patriots, and the
brave king could not prevent the stam-
pede. He publicly branded them as COW
ards on the fatal day Of that historic bat
tie, and they have not redeemed them
selves from the charge unto this day. Ii
the Ulster Orangemen cannot live at
peace with their Catholic fellow country
men under native parliament, which
their forefathers once battered for Brit
ish gold and British honors, the best
thing they can do is to emigrate from the
country and 60 elsewhere. Ireland can
we'll afford to lose them. They are
transplanted stock who have never taken
deep root to become racy OF the soil
Though born in Ireland they are exotics
The country has had no peace since their
forefathers crossed the channel two CEN
turies ago to occupy the lands confiscated
from the Irish owners. Notwithstanding
their loud boasting they are an inferior
people who have never produced a great
man in the field, form or senate. They
have been barren in intellectual achieve
ments and fall far below the English,
Irish and Scotch in mental fecundity
They are only a manufacturing people
encouraged by British legislation at the
expense of the rest of the inhabitants
When Home Rule comes there is no dan
ger to be anticipated from the Orange
element. The Irish at home can keep
them under proper control without ask
ing any assistaaee'f from their"e1patr1aatted
country16en in other lands.

The Rev. Gu1ian L. Morrill,, better
known as Goligh'ly Morrill,, Was the right
man in the right place when he presided
at the meetings in the Swedish Taber-
nacle and introduced the seni'e ex-priest
Chiuiquy to his Orange and Know-noth
ing audience. Chiniquy and Golight]y
would make a good team in travelling TO-
gether to abuse the "Romanists." They
both have the same regard for truth and
decency, and they would not damage the
character of the ancient church in the
eyes of those who know what good work
it has done through the instrumentality
of Archbishop Ireland and other prelates
and priests in this state.
