"A dozen years ago, then having served
his country Tor hall 8 century, this great
man might have laid down his burden
bleet and honored BY al the world. He
chose not to rest ] the one lofty ambition
OF his life was to redeem the fame and
characterized his country and Of its pollti-
cal genius frem an old and inYeterate
dish nor and to increase and to enhance
anil magnify the strength, he greatness,
the glory and the union of the Brit
lsh empire.
The measure Of that labor that has
been accomplished toward this end we
may we'll consider to be the mighty SYM
pathies that ireland has gained IN Eng
land; the suffrages of Scotland and of
Wales, and that she has in the short space
of seven years changed the majority OF
over two hundred against her from Eng
land to majority of one third that num-
ber
It is as much as we can reasonably hope
that our grand old hero may live to see
his measures become law. What more
fitting close to life spent for his coun-
try and it's good, than to sec his ambi-
tions GRO xned with initial success and to
feel as the sun of life goes down that
through honest endeavor the emanoipa-
ti0n of his kindred race from constitu-
tional slavery and worse, had begun.
"All prospects frightening to the last,
His heaven commences ere the world be
past"
When the summons shall come, as
soon it must, and the noble spirit shall
approach that shore from whence it can
never again return to US, great will be
the rejoicing there. The world will have
lost universal friend, but Heaven will
be blest.

and accompanied by the Catholic Socie-
ties of Ironwood and Hurley and their
bands, participated in grand street par
ade, Bro. Ed. Riley acting as grand mar
shall, assisted by Bros. Con Louney and
Walter Walsh. The entertainment at
the opera house in the evening was at
tended by large and appreciative audi
ence, P. G. Lennon, president OF the di-
vision, acting as chairman of the evening.
John r. Barry made the address OF well
come, and the speaker of the evening, z.
H.O'Brien, of West Superior, delivered

the wastage of the best human intellect,
all the blood that need never have been
split, all the weary years dragged
out in prison, all the young lives sacri-

consuming anarchy denial of the rights
of citizenship resulting in such poverty
and political bondage as no other nation
ever suffered since the world began.
True the gloom has occasionally been
broken by some noble patriot OF that
land, but ere the sunsof his ambition had

penalty, or he had been cast into some
dungeon to waste his days.

heads. The rupture arose over the in
vestigation of the "coal combine" by a
Joint committee of the senate and house.
The heat for few days was intense,
Notwithstanding the fact that the pre-
cious mineral was wholly absent. The
coal combine is an institution established,
contrary to law, by the wholesale dealers
to raise the price to the consumer OF that
much needed aud much used article.
The existence Of such thing in our
midst was brought home to the law max
ing body by MI. Walsh, member Of
the house from Ramsey. In the investi
CATION John j. Rhodes, manager Of the
combination, was summoned before the
committee to testify He appeared, but
his answers were so evasive and savored
so much Of falsehood that the committee
called for the books Of the concern.
Upon failure to produce the same, the
sergeant alarms with his new assist
ants betook themselves to the headquar-

he admitted that many Catholics had availed
themselves OF lts privileges and had proved thern-
selves good citizens For these he had great resDect
He was also willing to concede to them religious
freedom and the right to worship God as they

But" said Mr. scudder. when the Pope de-
clares that this Nation has right to- educate
its children outside the pale of the church, and

superiority Of Italian across the water and

Mr.. Scudder then went on t. relate the enorts
made by Catholics to secure division OF the

be amended so as to settle the question at once

also recited what Father COrrigan had done 10
