Few servants of the people have Ia
bored harder to do their duty than Aid.
Joseph Kilchil, candidate for the senate
in the Twenty ninth district. Mr.. Kiichli
has been a men Der of our city council
for the past four years, and during that
time has done more than any other man
in that body for the public. He was the
father of the 1Palled Harvey ordinance
which compelled the Street Railway
company to issue transfers to passengers
at all intersections without any regard
to parallel lines. 1t was he who got up
the ordinance, but at that time the city
council was reorganized and he was
made president, thus preventing him
from personally supervising it's passage.
To him, however, is due the credit OF
bringing the matter to the attention OF
the public, and if the voters of the
Twenty ninth district appreciate his
services in the council, they will send
him to the state senate, where wider
and broader field of usefulness awaits
him.

r. j. BUXTON, the Democratic nominee
for county treasurer is no stranger to the
voters of Hennepin county. For the past
three years Mr.. Buxton has served the
county we'll as treasurer, and no one
knows this better than the people who
entrusted their m 'ney to his care. The
Republicans recognizing how popular he
is with all classes nominated strong
man against him, bat in point of ability,
very inferior. Two years ago the people
of this county, appreciating his valued
services in the Office which he now fills
60 we'll, elected him with handsome
plurality. They voted for him because
of his peculiar fitness for the Office. His
long experience as a fnancier Of consid
cradle note made him votes on all sides.
He was city treasurer for many years,
and has been at the head of the City
Bank since it's organization here. The
success that attended this bank. one of
tie leading houses of it's kind in the
state. speaks volumes for the man that
the Democrats have selected to care for
the county funds for the next two years.
Mr.. Buxton will be re- elected as he de-
serves to be.

SOME time ago the A. P. AS published
and circulated bogus encyclical from
the Pope calling on all Catholics every
where on certain day to rise up and
massacre the Professionals, says the West
ern Waterman. So many foolish people
believed it that military companies OF
minute men we're tormed in all the chief
cities to meet the threatened uprising.
That st ,ry having outlived it's usefulness
another has been started at indianapolis,
to the effect that the Pope has ordered
all Catholic servant girls within certain
time to poison at least one member Of
every Protestant family in which they
may be employed. Professionalism is the
parent of credulity.

TIE annual conference of the arch,
bishops of the United States was held
Wednesday at the residence of Arch
bishop Ryan, of Philadelphia. Cardinal
Gibbons presided and there were present
nearly all the prelates who have attended
the dignity of the archbishopric, says an
associated press dispatch. These were
Archbishops Ryan, of Philadelphia; Cor
ngan, of New York; Williams, of Boston;
Feehan, of Chicago; Elder. of Cincinnati;
Ireland, of St. Paul; Chapelle, of Santa
Fe; KAN, of st. Louis, and Hennessey,
of Dubuque. The absentees were Arch
bishops Gross, of Oregon; Riordan, of
San Francisco; Jansen, of New Orleans,
and Katzsr, of Milwaukee. Jansen was
represented by Bishop Fitzpatrick. The
conference was conducted with the ut
most secrecy and at it's conclusion the
prelates were not disposed to talk. It
had been understood that several ques-
tons of much Importance to the church
of America were to be discussed. Arch.
bishop Ryan, however stated that the
conference had considered only matters
of discipline, but added that they had
decided to recognize the Ancient Order
of Hibernians as most admirable soci-

SENATOR David B. Hill opened his
canvass for the governorship at Syracuse,
Thursday evening, before an audience Of
5000 people. AS many more were I'M
able to gain admittance to the great hall
in which the keynote of the campaign
was sounded, and never before in the his
tory of the great state of New York was
SO much interest and enthusiasm dis
played at the outset of great political

THERE is a rumor abroad that Patrick
Ryan will eithdraw from the canvass az
an independent candidate for alderman
of the Ninth ward. His sense OF honor -
which has become somewhat clouded, to
say the least-ought to force him to such
a conclusion. John Mcclure has made
an excellent official and he has the good
will of the voters of the ward regardless
of political persuasion, and any attempt
to defeat him by the placing Of an inde-
pendent candidate in the field-whether
it be Patrick Ryan or somebody else
can only result in dire disaster to the
future political hopes and aspirations of
he who thus allows himself to be used as
a cats paw to the Republican party.

II Is said that women would purify the
ballot, but IN 60 doing she would neces-
sarily lower herself It is law OF
physics that reaction Is equal to action
and in the opposite direction. Thus wo-
mans influence at tie ballot box would
be attended with another and opposite
influence. TO quote the words OF an ex
cellent writer, MAN and the ballot box
| might gain, but woman would lose and
| man and the ballot box would lose in
the long run
To talk about the oppression OF
| women is the merest chatter. Woman
votes to day in more potent and natural
way than the privilege Of ballot would
enable her to do. No better illustration
Of that fact could be had than the recent
conflict in Kentucky. It was the pray
ers OF mothers, wives, SISTERS aid daugh-
ters that overcame the bitter feelings Of
craftsmanship and consigned Col. Brock
inridge to a deserved defeat. The true
woman, the woman who compels admira-
ton is not asking to live the life Of mon;
she finds enough to do in the realm con-
signed to her by nature. It is the So
called strong minded woman that il
seized with the mania to prance athwart
the public platform and talk about her
rights. Having no home OF her own or
If she has, abandoning 1t, she is neither
fit to vote nor to keep house. -~
To the disgrace of the Democracy of
this city it has given woman the op
portunity to huniliate both sexes. Who
would want to live under the laws that
such woman would enact or to have
cast upon them the children she would
raise? Home is above the ballot box and
the true woman is oorrespondingly above
the strong minded woman. When woman
speaks about her right to vote, her right
to practice law, etc, she ofends. There
is weak place in the nature of every
woman who forsakes the sphere for
which she was designed aud bowls be-
cause she was not born man. The best
rights she could have woman now has
and it is credit to the perfection of
human nature that as rule she is salts
fed to leave mans work to himself.
Cardinal Gibbons can stand the criticism
which will be hurled at him by mis-
guided persons calling themselves liberal.

The conducting of municipal govern
ment upon purely business principles
entirely divorcing politics from city
governmental affairs, is an end to be
earnestly sought for by all who are anx.
+ious to secure the greatest good to the
community, but the ideas of the reformera
are not yet sufficiently we'll understood
to make realizati n of their plans pos
sible, says the Northwestern Catholic.
But it is highly encouraging to note that
the cause is making progress and that
the masses are being educated to the
point where the great reform will be de-
mand as a popular right The reformers
are on the right track and nothing
should be permitted to divert their at

rHELoRDs AND BISHOPS.

:
The House of Lords and it's organization
is the absorbing question before the PEG
ple Of England and Ireland at the pres
emit time. Much as we condemn on
Senate for it's actions at times it must b'
admitted that the House Of Lords il
infinitely worse. Historians in thel
efforts to condemn the action of thu
Catholic Church have had much to Say
about the "priest in politics" But j
must be admitted by all that the Catho
lie priest has always been with the poo'
and oppressed. To-day there is in tht
House Of Lor6s body OF men, who, BY
virtue of their religious offices hold
seat in the Lords for life. In the pas
they have opposed every measure FOL
religious emancipation and to. day they
arc as obstinate]y resisting the politica
em Emancipation Of the Irish people. The
Protestant Bishops never fail to flock te
the House of Lords and vote against any
proposed innovation. They have not only
fought the Irish people in their efforts
to secure religious and political freedom
bat they have opposed the masses OF the
British people.
1t used to be in England when the
Catholic Bishops we're members OF the
House of Lords and long before there
was any such thing as Protestant
that the clergy were the ones who fought
the battle of the massee for freedom
against the powerful arietocracy OF tbs
barons. IT was the Catholic clergy who
forced from King John and the barons
the Magma Charta. It was the eccleei
astical courts Of the Catholic Church
working out principles of equity that
has given to England and the United
States the equity practice which has SO
greatly modifsd the rigidity and in
Justice of the common law Thus it will
be seen whatever may have been ths
faults of the Catholic clergy they were
never opposed to the interests OF the
common people.
The Protestant Bishops who have
taken their places are constantly found
in opposition to the masses of both Eng
land and Ireland. Il is mockery on
legislation to allow such mon to veto
the expressed will of the representatives
IF a great people. The first step Of the
reform movement should be to exclude
;he bishops from the House of Lords.

papers against the candidacy of Nelson
is the most surprising incident of the

Scandinavian newspapers in the state
have deserted and the other one might if
it's proprietor did not hold office under
Nelson. The last to desert is the 'Pos-

mann, giving as it's reason that "Knute
Nelson is nothing but tool in the hands
of the corporations" Owen will bother
Nelson great deal IN the next three

The speech of Henry George at the
Exposition tonight ought to draw an
immense audience. While we can not
subscribe to the doctrine preached by
him, he is nevertheless no demagogue.
He has gained greatly in popular estima-
ton Of late. During the height Of last

strikers that strikes would never solve
the labor question. Heis at least honest
in his convictions and right on many

RosEBERY is pretty shrewd states
man, but he is evidently not great man
says the Morning Star of New Orleans
He cannot bring himself up to grea
emergency when it involves a new de
parture. It is, unfortunately for him
during his premiership that the gravest
political question Of modern times, fol
England, has come to the point of prac
tical pre- eminencs. The question of the
status of the House of Lords has to be
met and answered. Shall that status be
mended or ended. Rosebery has the
title "Lord" prefixed to his name. Some
how or other he has drlfted to the pop-
nlar, or Liberal, side of politics, but his
situation is that of house divided
against itself-a man divided between his
mind and his heart, his judgment and
his feelings. Lord Rcsebery's judgment
says Manhood; bis instincts Of birth and
education and association say: Caste.
He hesitstes. But the tide does not
hesitate. He must ride along on the CEN
tor OF it's current or be swept aside and
stranded on the shore. His alherents
do not like his hesitation. It smacks Of
lukewarmnees in the cause, perhaps Of
unfaithfulness to it. Il he cannot make
up his mind to dispense with the fossil,
modern England will dispense with him.
Defeat and dissolution of the administra.
ton may result in the temporary eclipse
of the Liberal party at the ensuing alec
tion, but it will be only pairing the tree

woMAN'S RIGHTS.

Cardinal Gibbons is reported to have
spoken in opposition TO woman suffrage
in a recent sermon. No doubt this will
be the basis of another onslaught against
the pretended unprogressive character
of the Catholic Church. The fact that
the Church Is opposed to the different
forms of fanaticism, often called liberal
ism. is one of it's most commendable fea-
lures. To most. people the discussions OF
the subject Of "Woman's Rights are as
tiresome as they are uncalled for.
God, who can make no mistake, made
man and woman for specific work.
Suffrage is not right, it is a privilege,
privilege consistent only with mans
realm and in entire djscord with wo-
mans sphere.
