| The Sank Rapids Free Press pays this
we'll deserved compliment to distin-
/ guished citizen of Minnesota: The re-
election of Hon. NJ. Doran to represent
Minnesot on the Democratic national
committee, is IL fitting recognition of the
herculean efforts that old Warhorse has
done for the advancement Of Democracy
in this state. Under bis guiding hand
Minnesotas old 10000 Republican ma
iority has come to be ancient history,
and the state is now classed among the
doubtful ones. Two years ago three
Democratic congressman we're elected,
and counted on the basis Of the congress
sional vote we carried the state by 10000
majority. A Republican legislature has
been wiped out, and With Cleveland to
head the ticket this fall we believe a
legislature will be chosen that will elect
Democrat to succeed G. X. Davis in
the Senate.
The Episcopal residence and Pro
Cathedral Of Bishop McGolrick, of Du-
luth, were totally destroyed by fire last
Saturday evening. The fire originated
in the organ loft and had gained consid-
erable headway before it was discovered.
The buildings were valued st S4O,o coo
and insured. The Bishops private
library, one OF the finest in the country,
and valued at $4,000, was consumed by
the flames. This is an irreparable loss,
as it contained many rare books Of great
value. Many relics and curios were
burned to cinders, among them beng a
piece of the cross on which Christ was
crucifed. It was encased in a rich
jeweled casket and was presented to the
Bishop by the Pope. A new Cathedral
to be constructed of brown stone and
brick will be erected at once on the site OF
/ the Pro Cathedral destroyed by the fire,
and an episcopal residence will also be
built of the same material, both build
ings to cost about $4,000.
