Collector Harries Names the Successor to
Frank l.. Stetson.
Last June Capt W. Fl. Harries, collec-
tor of internal revenue for the district OF
Minnesota, appointed Frank l.. Stetson
deputy collector at Minneapolis, to sue
coed s. l.. Trussell, whose term of office
had expired. Mr.. Stetson held the posi-
ton until his election to the position OF
chief OF the fire department, January Z,
when he rendered his resignation. Since
then there has been lively contest for
the place between nine or ten candidates.
On Tuesday afternoon Collector Harries,
summoned to ST. Paul, Capt. Michael
Whelan, formerly assistant superintend-
ent of the work house, and rendered him
the appointment at Minneapolis, which
was accepted, MIR. Whelan entering at
once on the discharge of his duties.
Capt. Whelan was secretary of the Dem
ocratic county committee during the
"late unpleasantness," and has been q
Democrat since the days of Andy Jack
son. Such loyalty to party principles
The IRISH STANDARD is always pleased
to see rewarded, and we extend our con-
gratulations to the new deputy collector.

LORD DENMAN once declared that trial
by Jury in Ireland wwas "a mockery, q
delusion and g snare" for no matter how
ably political prisoner was defended he
was sure to be found guilty by parti-
san Judge and a government packed jury.
In this country jurors are not SO easily
influenced by venal judge as in Ireland,
as was evidenced the other day in Chi
cago in the case of Miss Cahill against
the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
railroad, when Judge Seaman instructed
the jury to render verdict for the de
fendant. The twelve men demurred and
Juror Clayton arose and bluntly said he
could not obey the judge. The judge
and juror argued the case at consider
able length and finally the case was dis
missed. The question arises, what is
the use Of jury trial, if the judge can die
tate the verdict? The jury is sworn to
give verdict according to the law and
the evidence, but the Judge decides what
the law is and has the power Of impris-
oning any recalcitrant juror, In the
case referred to, however, the Judge did
not exercise his authority in furnishing
the juror for contempt OF court. On
the contrary he argued with the juror,
but without avail. he evidently did not
believe in his own infallibility as an In ]

The scuffls between the men had ceased

the combat. The attorneys for the
defense did not expect an'acquittal and

The new year has opened inauspicious
ly for the Apaists, and the outlook is
good for the virtual extinction Of their Or
ganization before it's close, says the
| Catholic Columbian. Up in Michigan
the proscrip tionists have been signa]ly
eaten in their efforts to prevent the re-
turn of Senator McMill an, Republican
who had been honored by their antagon-
& ism, to the United States Senate; and at
the other end Of the country, down at
,Fitchburg, Mass, nearly every promin-
ent citizen in the place protested the
other day against allowing an A. P.
"A. lecturer, who was billed to deliver a
characteristic harangue, the uee of the
city hall, declaring, in Petition I'D
dressed to the municipal authorities, that
"'the presence of this man for the purpose
advertised by him is an insult to loyal
citizens and a disgrace to an intelligent
community" The present year will win
itself enduring fame if it puts an end to
this pestilential proscriptive association,
aud relegates all those who are con-
nected with it to the infamy and obliv-
ion they so richly deserve. And it
looks as If 1895 was determined to achieve
that fame.

UNLIKE Grant, Gen. Lee used no Sum-
ulants,say the Buffalo Union and Times.
It is related Of the latter that when, at
the beginning Of the war he took the
field, lady friend gave him two bottles
Of French brandy. The Confederate
chief carried them untouched through
all his battles, and returned then to the
surprised donor when the banner OF the
lost cause was furled. This may provoke
some bibulous wretch to remark; that if
Lse took q little of Grants whiskey
things might be different.

I; SPEAKING OF the ecclesiastical hi .ker
=ings which mark the church OF New
York, our esteemed contemporary, the
Rochester Post Express, very pointedly
expresses an opinion that has found g
place IN the Protestant mind, as follows:
''One fact stands out YER clear, and that
lis that if Archbishop Satolli has any au-
;thority he ought to exert it at once and
suppress ecclesiastical chickering's; and if
he has no authority he ought to go back
to Rome, and no time should be lost in
giving the Catholic Church in this coun
Try constitution, under which the reli
gious rights of bishops, priests and lay
men may be plainly defined, The Cath
olic Church here has outgrown the old
notion that it is a missionary body with
a go-as you please organization"

At 1870 it was announced that the pre-

Gen. Grant and the circus Hors-.

The following is an extract from a
curious Japanese Life OF Gen. Grant,
portions Of which are printed in the
Century for July:
A year and a half later a circus-rider
entered his village. Desiring to
zee the show, Gurando Kuen, on his
fathers arm, entered the place. Point
ing to the horse he insisted on riding
1t himself. His father consequently
asked the circus-rider to let mis- boy
ride. Gurando Kuen, showing in his
face perfect satisfaction, rode on the
neck of the horse and appeared to be
persuading the horse to go. One day,
when he was older, he was playing ball
by his own house, and he accidentally
broke glass window of his neighbor.
Having regretted what he had done,
he made up his mind, and went into
the neighbours house, and excused him
self to the lord of the house. saying:
Il accidentally broke the window of
thy honorable house. / have no word
to excuse myself. The only thing can
do is to my father TELL a new glass win
dow buy, this loss repay. Please ex-
cuse." This house lord, having been
much pleased with this child's unusual
thoughtfulness, without any condition
excused his sin. Indeed, Gurando
Kuen's heavenly nature is like SER
pent which has its own nature when
it is but one inch long.
