The Irish standard., 1893-06-10
was The, feature offs ttll1ea eysning. The ba-
NJ has already Melted "a 800 10 the

footsteps of bis illustrious predecessors
ID appointing members Of the school
board The Catholics Of this city have
been for more than 8 year completely
without representation on the board.
Mr.. Kennedy filed three vacancies and
appointed all Cath lics except three.
The members of that communion, consti-
ttuting as they do one third Of the popula-
ton, did not expect such splendid recog
milton. Mr.. Kennedy certainly displays
considerable iberahty towards all classes
Of our people and he seems to have an
especial regard for Catholics as evidenced
by bis appointments OF school commits
sioness. We sincerely hope that after
the election next spring this august per-
sonage known as Edward Cock Kennedy
may be referred to with some degree OF
propriety as Edward s'Cooked" Kennedy.
Superior sent some delegates to the
reciprocity convention. They were ap-
pointed by the Mayor. What figure
they cut at ST. Paul! One of them was
elected .vice-president. We don't know
Of any members Of the convention that
were not elected to office. What makes
your correspondent very weary is to see
q lot Of fellows get together during these
dull and piping times Of peace pirate
about reciprocity and elect each other
vice presidents Of self constituted con
vention. Who wants to reciprocate with
a community living in the shadow OF
this great republic out without sufficient
public spirit to break loose from the
bonds of foreign power. Canada ie
nominally free Of course, but clad never
theless in the unmistakable garments Of
q slave. Our neighbours political status
reminds us of an Australian ticket Of
leave man. Yet we find concouree Of
celebrities from Grand Forks, is it? from
Duluth, of course she hnd to b. repre-
resented, from st. Paul, quondan great
city, and from Superior, a would-be grea
city, trying to distinguish themselves in
an exchange of courtesies with ali agsrpS
cation from Winnipeg that could no,
reciprocate with nybody without con-
sulting Her Majesty. Yea, they dit.nt
even have any recognition from the Can.
adam government, such as It; is. 1t Su-
perior wants to be great city she will
keep away from reciprocity conventions
and try some other method OF advertis
ing. She ought to get after the railroads
that carry freight to and from the head
of the lakes to ST. Paul and Minneapolis
for nothing. We refer of course to east
err through rates, which are the same
from New York or Buffalo to st. Paul as
to Superior and vice versa. No wonder
this city experiences financial squeeze
when our council appropriates the peo-
pies money to defray the erpensesaofa
horde of lackeys to st. Paul to have q
good time and incidentally play
fiddle to the representatives Of rival
cities. ii'.15ea:sss
