A LAKE SUPERIOR FRESHMAN.

John Power is Appointed United States
District Attorney in Northern Mich, gan.
The Office Of United States district at
torney for the western district of Michi-
gau, to which John Power was appointed,
is fitting crown to a career that has
given Mr.. Power high rank in upper
peninsula politics, says the Calumet
Conglomerate. He is now in his 18th
years, having born in Ireland. When
scarcely II years Of age he came 20
America, and at once enlisted in the 10th
New York, serving until the close of the
war. He then joined the regular army
and was assigned to duty with his COM
pany repairing the levees on the Missis-
sippi. In 1866 he was transferred to
Fort Wilkins, Ontonagon county, Mich,
where he remained until the term OF his
enlistment had expired. He was ap
pointed lighthouse keeper at Copper
Harbor, and taught school at the same
time. During his leisure hours he stud
led law, and was soon afterwards ad
mitted to the bar. He removed to Cslu-
! met, afterwards to Escanaba, and has
enjoyed lucrative practice from the be-
ginning.
AS criminal lawyer and orator Mr.,
Power takes first rank in the upper pen
insula. In 1879 he was nominated for
congress, but the district being almost
! unanimously republican, hew defeated
by j. A. Hubbell tie was again nomin-
ated in 1884, 1886 and 1888, and although
he met with inevitable defeat, he sue
ceeded in greatly reducing the repnbli-
can majority every time he made the
race. After Mr.. Clevela1d's election to
the presidency in 1884, he was candi-
date FOR United States attorney for the
western district of Michigan, but the
place was given to Mr.. Goodwin, OF Grand
Rapids, now deceased.
Mr.. Power was several times honored
by being chosen delegate to national
Democratic conventions For many
years he was the sole representative OK
the upper peninsula in democratic state
conventions, and it is chiefly through his
zeal and enthusiasm ana great love for
his party, coupled with the efforts OF 8.

pointment as district attorney. He has

business three times since the 4th of

HENRY GRATTAN EUL3GIzF,D.

FrOt John Il. Kenny, OF ot. 1nOmaS Sem1u-
airy, Lauds the Irish Patriot
At recent meeting of the St. Paul
Crusaders, Prof. Kenny, of st. Thomas
Aquinas Seminary, delivered an interest
ing address upon the life of Henry Graf
tan, in which he said:
I'm the heart of the city Of Dublin
there is, as you all know, an open space
called College Green. 1t is q spot hall
lowed by the sorrowtul memory of IRE
lands legislative freedom slain and en-
tombed in the houses Of parliament
which stand within it's precincts. But,
if it be the grave of nations liberty, it
shall also be the mount If a nations res
direction. Therefore, though sad
thoughts cling to it, yet the name Of
College Green is to every Irishman the
embodiment of his country's hope, the
pledge of his countrY's prosperous and
contented future. Gould, then, any
other spot in all Ireland have been So
lected as more fitting site for statue
that was to perpetuate in enduring
bronze the ineaments and the fame Of
the patriot whose eloquence once blew
into fame the smouldering love of civil
and religious freedom, whose unbought
integrity, unsullied honor, unblemished
patriotism are, as 1t were, the refulgence
of pillar OF light that Providence has
designed to set before the steps Of the
children of Erin in their passage from
servitude to the complete and untram-
melted possession of their pational rights?
Henry Grattan was possessed of such
elevation Of thought, nobility Of purpose.
sublimity of talent as lifts one out of
ones selfish pettiness Of spirit to con.
template; and he exhibited in his public
conduct as citizen such a degree Of
freedom from prejudice, stability of
character, disinterestedness Of motives,
and sacrifice Of self as to rouse us with
our wider opportunities to q livelier ap-
probation, and to the practice Of the vir-
tues that purify and ennoble all the du
ties Of citizenship. In spite Of the cor
ruption OF politics in his day, Henry
Grattan's generous, chiyalrous mind
prompted him to trust in human nature.
Far from standing aloof from public life,
because he distrusted his own rectitude,
or because he distained to mingle with
the common run Of mon, and be jostled
by the politician that hungered for office,

as to language; second, @ to meaning
IL is interior in tho first sense whom it 10
not pure, idiomatic Engliah. It is.ln
ferior in the second sense when It does
not give the meaning Of the original.
Now the Duoai and Rheims transla-
ton 1.-THE Catholic is inferior to the ki'5g
James translation in as much as it's Eng
llsh is not 90 idiomatic as the latter.
The reason Of this is q standing reproacb
to the intolerance Of English Protestant
ism under Henry VIII, Edward VI,
Elizabeth and janice. Under these
monarchs Catholic schools aud colleges
were forbidden to exist in Great Britain,
and Catholics were compelled to seek
education abroad. As result their
English became Latinized;a land the Cath
Ole translation OF the Bible is in the La
tinted English, while the Ri g James
version uses more Anglo Saxon words
aud follows closer the English idion.
But when we consider the two transla-
tions in the second sense, that is, as to
correct reproduction Of the meaning Of
the original, the Catholic trapslation is
far superior to the Protestant version.
This is generally admitted by Biblical
critics. The evidence Of this is found IN
the fact that in the revised edition gotten
out few years ago all the changes from
the King James version W re made to
conform more closely to the Catholic
translation. This fact is confession OF
Judgment. ..-
1t must be observed that when the
Protestant Bible is spoken Of the King
James Bible is always referred to. For
pure, rugged, idiomatic English there is
no book in the language, except Shake
speare, that can compare with 1t. But
as a correct rendition Of the meaning OF
the original it cannot bear criticism; can
not compare with the Catholic version,
In what concerns Divine revelation truth
is to be preferred to idiom.

visit was to locate q colony of their coun'

being the syndicate which they repre-
sented, and is known as the National Po-
fish Alliance, an organization in their
native country having for it's object the
colonization of the Polish peasantry.
The agents Of this alliance had travelled
over the states of Nebraska, Wyoming
and Oregon, and in all the country OF

The purchase Of the Troy farm is only a

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BIBLE.

The Translation is Less Idiomatic but More
Truthful Than the King James Version
Father Lambert gives the following
comparison between the translations OF
the Catholic and Protestant Bibles in the
Philadelphia Catholic Times:
A querist asks the outlook ~ What is
the special feature in the Roman Catho-
lie Church? (2) What is the difference
between the Protestant and Roman
Catholic Bibles? That journal replies
to the first question thus: ''The special
features of the Roman Catholic Church
are in it's doctrine of Papal supremacy
and the mass"
The correct answer is this: ID The
special features Of the Roman Catholic
Church are that it is Church founded
by Christ, possessing by reason of His
commission authority to teach infallibly
what He revealed and commanded it to
teach. ~ That it's head, the successor
of st. Peter, the Pope Of. Rome, is the
supreme governor of .Christ's Church,
and the infallible teacher Of faith and
morals. 81 That it is Catholic.
To the second question the Outlook
answers; seThe Roman Church's Bible is
an inferior translation. It also reckond
the Old Testament Apocrypha as an IN
teRral part Of the Holy Scriptures.'

lion may be interior in. two ways tiLr'st
