A NEW telephone company is among
the possibilities for Minneapolis. There
is plenty of room for such. It is about
time the people Of this city were secur-
ing some relief from the impositions OF
one of the most tyrannical trusts ever
fastened upon them. The enormous
profits secured by the present monopoly
is little short of legalized robbery.

Jersey City, and Albany. i the foreign
born population of the cities be multi
piled by three, the approximate natl g
born population will be determined, and
il the latter be again multiplied by two,
the total population of recent foreign de-
scent can be ascertained. Under these
circumstances the writer in the Sun does
not think it strange that lrishmen or
men of Irish parentage should be prom
inent in the aft IRIS Of American cities,
'though their proportion of office h .lders,
is no greater than their percentage as
factor in the population warrants The
writer thinks that Americans OF British
descent have the lions share OF the
Offices, despite the allegations OF maya
zine contributors like Bocock who mby
have imbibed the logic OF the A. P. A.
and insist that an undue proportion OF
Irishmen hold Office in our municipal
tiles. He then says that about 70 per
cent of the people Of the United States
are foreign born, and yet in the United
States Senate, composed OF IS members,
there are but two men of European
birth, and both OF these were born IN
England.
In the House of Representatives, OF 356
members, instead of foreign born citizens
having the percentage to which they are
entitled according to population they
have only %, of which were born IN
Ireland. The same proportion prevails
in other legislative and aldermanic
bodies, and in the executive departments
of the Federal and State governments,
but it is none the less fact that Irish
| men make the most successful politicians
He then proceeds at considerable length
to explain why Irishmen are better poll
ticians than mon of other nationalities.
"They have tact, great executive ability,
the power of seeing clearly the end to be
attained, and of rightly estimating the
difficulties to be overcome. They enjoy
decided advantage over other foreign
born voters in that they are perfectly
familiar it'll the English language
The reason they are most prominent
in municipal government is owing to two
causes: First, the various advantages
outlined can only make themselves felt
! in compact communities; and second
native Americans will not as rule in
terest themselves in local politics. And
another fact which contributes to the
prominence of Irishmen in city politics
is that they are broad and liberal in their
treatment of the various composite ele.
ments of the voting population, whereas
many others, but more particularly the
Germans, are unduly clannisb, excluding
others from reasonable participation in
the conduct of public affairs. The writer
asserts thai Irishmen are "born poll
ticiane," and that in New York they are
more successful than othars from the
fact that they observe the rule OF equal
race recognition. A minority is not in
control as Bocock alleges, but the Irish
men in office are justly entitled to the
positions they occupy from numerical
strength, ability to discharge their du-
ties, and liberal consideration for the
rights of citizens of other nationalities.

Methodist pulpit the other Sunday as
the champion of Apaism and Protestant
lem, has achieved an unenviabls notoriety
by his Incorporate and injtldicious Ian
guage. He has brought down upon his
empty little head the honest indignation
of every true Protestant. One Protest.
ant clergyman has described him as
man who is small in stature and small in
brain, and who is deficient in common
sense. A Methodist in ST. Cloud con-
dennis his utterances in communication
to one of the daily papers, and the liberal
editor of the Progressive Age, of this
city, pays his respects to him ina scath-
ing article, and defends the Catholic
priests from his foul accusations. In re-
ply to the charge that Catholic priests
do not feed and clothe the fallen women
of this city, the Progressive Age says:
"We would like to ask Mr.. Newhouse
how many of those women he has clothed
and fed? How many have been fed by
the Protestant clergy Of this city? II
there is church organization on the
globe that is kind to these unfortunates,
both in feeding and clothing them, and
striving to lead them to better life, it
is the Catholic Church." In reference to
the confessional the Progressive Age
correctly says: "The confessional is the
capitalization Of the yearnings Of an
evolving humanity. The priest is the
devout Catholics mediator, and the con-
fessional simply the place where the PEN
itent soul seeks council and guidance,
and where, obedient to mysterious law
q human nature, it realizes comfort and
strength by pouring out Ito SORROWS ct
the feet Of ito religious mentor"

an effusion TO last weeks issue of the
local A. P. A. organ, reiterating the false
statement that the New York Sun is au-
thority for saying that Y par cent Of the
assertions from the Union army during
the late rebellion we're Irishmen. The
New York Sun emphatically denies that
it ever made the statement attributed to-
it, and says it is absurd on the face Of it
to make such charge against the 10y
atty of Irishmen. 1t then shows that if
the allegation were true, no more than
945 Irishmen out of all the regiments
would have remained true to the end.
That conclusion would be false, for the
Irish Brigade alone lost over 1000 men
in killed and wounded. Let Claiming

published roster of the enlisted soldiers
in the Minnesota regiments during the
war, and they will find that men bearing
Irish names fought valiantly in defense
of the Union, and that those who did not
die ON the battlefelds and in the hospi-
tails received an honorable discharge at
the expiration Of their terms of enlist
ment and when peace was proclaimed at
Appomattox It would be- difficult for
them, however, to find a so]ltary Orange

distinction of paying glowing eulogium
to the late Henri Caron, the infamous
British spy. In the estimation of Small.

the estimation of Cyrus w. Field, who
raised monument to his memory on
American soil; but an indignant Ameri~
can blew the shaft to atoms with dyna
mite. When such distinguished Ameri-
can as Cyrus W. Field, of Atlantic cable
fame, considered the companion Of Bene-
dict Arnold entitled to honor for his dis
reputable attempt to defeat Wash
ington and his troops by treachery,
it would not surprise us particle
if Smalley, the obsequious syco-
plant of the British aristocraoy, would
like to honor LeCaron in similar man
ner for his treachery to Irish-Americans-
The proper place for a monument to. Ma
jor LeCaron would be the Phoenix Park,
Dublin, and if Smalley has the courage
of his convictions he will suggest it's cree

mite explosion that would shake the
vice. regal lodge and Dublin Castle to
their foundations.

THE FAIR SCHOOL MARMS
THEY MAKE AN INVASION OF CITY
HALL.
A Host of Applications Filed with thu
Teachers' Committee Yesterday
for Positions in tho City
Public Schools.

There was bewildering exploitation
of types of Southern California feminine
beauty at the rooms of the city board of
education yesterday afternoon, and
maidens dark and fair formed q galaxy
in which the charms Of youth were
blended with the accomplishment ei
maturer years.
1t was the day of meeting of the teach
ers' committee of the school board, al d
the ladies made up part OF tho large
number of applicants for positions to
teach in the public schools. The hall
ways, corridors and ante rooms were
filled with school msrms, W no were there
for the purpose of passing in review be-
fore the committee, and blondes with
amethyst eyes and golden tresses were
packed in close contact with the girls
whose dark and soulful eyes and raven
ringlets spoke Of sunny southern ma
tivity. Incidentally there was hope
full rsd-haired girl in the crowd, and q
sparse sprinkling of pedsgogues of the
male gender. There were at least loo
applicants on hand, and last week $50
more marms passed through the inquis-
itorial chamber. Altogether there are
252 positions to be filed, and az the
present teachers do not come up for ex-
animation. it is case of having on hand
532 teachers to fill only 252 places, go
while many are called but comparatively
few will be chosen. 1t is likely, too,
that at the next meeting Of the commit
tee on July 9TH there will be fully $50
applicants on hand, ready to teach the
young idea how to shoot and other &C
complishments in the Los Angeles pub
lie schools, AS rule the army OF ap-
plicants is made up OF young women
fresh from the normal schools, although
here and there could be seen the thought
full countenance of veteran teacher,
lined with the marks OF years of toiling
in the halls OF learning.
The members of the committee pres
emit were Mrs. Hughes and Messrs.
Trask, Platt and Stein, and they are re-
quired by the school law to submit at
the meeting OF the school board on July
9th q complete list of the teachers for
the schools for the coming year. Each
applicant is required to appear before
the committee and is put through gem
ersl category OF queries, first having su b.
mitted q certificate to the effect that
they have graduated ut some normal
school. They must tell what class OF
teaching they have been engaged in,
where they have taught, and give some
idea OF their method of teaching, what
former positions they have held and why
they have left them also as to whether
they have done any work in calisthenics
and the character of the work. In fact,
the examination is a mest crucial one,
and after 1t is all over the applicant still
has very little chance of securing q posi-
ton this year, for it is claimed that but
few changes will be made among the
regular teachers now in the employ of
the city.

MISS MARsH's SCHOOL.
A host of friends was present on last
Thursday afternoon al Miss Marsh'f
school for young ladies, on Hope street.
the occasion being the annual pro-
gramme given by the older young
ladies, the senior and junior classes.
The large school room, where the en-
tertainment was given, was handsome ely
decorated with cut flowers aud vines
and general air OF festivity was notice
able in the handsome toilettes OF the
girls.
Many of the mum bera of the programme
were particularly good, especially q
violin fantasia by Mas Bessie Epperson,
pupil who is making the violin her
especial study and who evinces a de-
cided talent for it. The vocal solos Of
Mise Levy we're beautifully rendered. A
duet by Miss Rie Anderson and Miss
Ethel Mullens was received with great
favor:
OF the literary numbers, the Advice
to the Undergraduates. by Miss Levy OF
the class of '94, was very spicy and full
OF those delightful references to the fun
and frolic of school days that is espe'
cially dear to the youthful heart.
History of the School was one of the
bright papers of the day. 1t was the
work of Miss Anderson, who reviewed
the six years Of the life of Miss March g
school with the true alma mater spirit.
She painted pretty picture of the events
OF the last years, and gave a touch OF
humor to her "reminiscences that 0blit-
Grated the sadness felt by the eulogy of
the pupils who have left the schoolroom
forever. The paper was gracefully writ
ten and we'll delivered.
One OF the best productions was the
essay of Miss Lolita Bower on The Word
Painting Of Virgil. Part OF the paper
was in original Latin prose, and was
finely phrased. The imagery used by
the poet in his description of The Cave
of the Winds was told by the essayist in
most happy choice of language.
Among other good numbers was q
paper on A Trip to the Yosemite Valley
by Miss Hilda Brode. The writer, who
has travelled abroad, gives the palm to
this grandest specimen Of American
scenic grandeur, and her paper was o
graphic description of its attractions.
Miss Gertrude Bigelow was>very happy
In her recitation of Sans Letter, which
was given with all the vacuity and
humorous expression associated with
the great Duudreary.
Miss Bessie Bonssll showed herself at
home in the histrionic line by her reci-
tation of The Car Conductors Mistake.
The speaker was so enthusiastically en-
oored that she responded with bright
bit of verse entitled A Similar Case.
Mise Bonsali, Miss Mullens, Miss An
derson and Misc Louise Mccormick
were the cast which presented a clever
farce entitled, circumstances Alter
Gases.
Many of the young ladies were hon.
ored by forals.
The commencement exercises OF the
school will be held on Wednesday even.
ing next at 8 O'Clock.

are scattered about. There are easy re-
clining chairs, sofas, revolving book
cases and q handsome writing desk.
The decorations are very rich. The
ceiling is after the Renaissance style,
with allegorical panels appropriate to a
library painted upon them. Around
the frieze. which drops down about four
feet, are also panels with allegorical
subjects, such as Europe, Asia, Africa
and America. The wslls are covered
with lincrusts and treated in olive
tint and gold. All the woodwork is
covered and everything is in the utmost
harmony. The ges fixtures, especially
made by Thos. Day & Co., are OF antique
copper and ie q combination Glide, fitted
for six electric lights and nine gas
burners.
The next room, across the hall, is the
reception room, and no doubt will
be considered the most recherche in the
residence. II will certainly call forth
many encomiums from the ladies. 1t is
pure Louie XVI style, in ivory and
gold with WALLS hung in satin damask.
The furniture 10 upholstered in the same.
The carpet is OF royal Wilton, with plain
center. From the ceiling 10 suspended a
chandelier OF gold gilt cast in open work
1t has eight gas and four electric lights
and Is one of the most handsome manu-
featured. Anton Stoelzsr. the fresco
artist, has also exerted himself in the
decoration OF this room. The estin
damask for the side walls has been ina
ported expressly by the Los Angeles
Furniture company from Paris. The
effect is something handsome in the
extreme.
The sitting room is also very hand
some. The decorations OF the ceiling
are in French renaissance, OF rich design
