An Old IRISH NAME. !.
That Of O'Kiervan Which Has Been
Anglicfsed Into KirWafl.

The O'Kiervans or O'Kerwans were an
ancient Irish sept OF Connaught. The
name has been Anglicised into Kirwan,
under which form 1t was known in the
County Galway from the 18th century.
Thence 1t extended to Mayo, and at q
later period to Waterford and Tipperary.
In 1901 the Shrieyalty OF Galway, then
an important town; was held by K!rwan,
as also the Mayoralty. In 1882 Stephen
Kirwan was Bishop Of Clonfert, and Fran
els KitWan Bishop of Killala in 1916. in
1852 Patrick Kirwah, Of Galway, received
the thanks Of Gen. Ireton for the protec-
ton he had afforded to the Protestants
during the year mmediately preceding
the Civil War. Sir John Kirwan was
Mayor Of Galway in 1886, and Represent
alive in Parliament in 1889. He is cred-
tied with having introduced to that town
the modern style OF. glass windows ill.,
stead Of the small leaden lattices before
used. In the Brigsdes, too, the family
acquired fame. A son Of Captain Patrick
was sent at an early age to study Ia
France. Preferring a military life, he
obtained a commission In billions brigade,
and fought at Fontenoy in 1745. He was
q great favorite with Lord Glare and Mar
shall SAKE. A nephew Of Richard Kir-
wan, styled pre- eminently the Chemist,
was accounted one OF the greatest philos-
iophers Of the day, and was , member Of
most of the literary societies of Europe.

There are conflicting reports from
certain rural districts in the Northwest
relative to the number Of farm hands re-
quired to harvest the crop. There seems
to be q surplus Of labor In the wheat
fields Of this state and the Dakotas. The
Fargo Federation Of Labor has issued a
circular, in which it calls attention to the
overrHocked labor market In the Dakotas
and advises all persons seeking employ
ment in the wheat fields to keep away
from Cass and adjoining counties, as
there Is not enough work for the men
who are there now. Manitoba will re-
quire 5000 additional farm hands 70
gather the harvest there, but Ut is prob
able that these can be secured in the
provinces Of Quebec and Ontario.

A TRUST WRECKED d

FIG line WHISKY fITuSL, one OF ftne greatest
schemes ever concocted in this country
for making Of money fraudulently, is a
thing Of the past. Having got into the
courts it's methods were exposed and as
result 1t went down a gigantic wreck.
The stockhold ers themselves were swind-
led by those who were more shrewd Or
/ more INSCRIPTIONS and who had the di-
rect management Of the concern in their
hands. The stock was Watered Ia a scan-
dalous manner and every means. known
to tricksters Ia business was resorted to
In order that the public and those who
had any Immediate business connection
with the concern might be systematical
|plundered. When the head officials were
accused Of suspicious practices they grew
highly indignant that their honor and
probity should be called into question.
But the air Of injured innocence grad
ually deserted them and step by step
these jackdaws were stripped Of their
borrowed plumage and they stood before
the world In their true light-that Of
magnificent swindlers, magnificent be-
cause everything was done on colossal
scale. .y sd 81 .3
The headquarters Of the business was
in Peoria, Ills, a district that manufaot-
ures more spirits than any other in the
country. u. IL
Mr.. Greenhut, who was the moving
spirit in the enterprise, was ostensibly
the pink Of perfection in all that relates
to social and business integrity, but his
sins had found him out. .$.

BUILDING AND LOAN ELECTION

Last week we devoted much space to-
review OF the situation as it exists in
the Hennepin County Building and Loan
| Association, and among other things.
suggested that the discordant element
get together and arbitrate the differences.
TO that end one would suggest to the
members that they lay aside their per-
sonal prejudices and elect the best men
to office at the coming meeting. what
the association wants is a little more
brains in it's management and less vim
tlictiveness. Put good, cool-headed men
in the different offices to be filled and
give them the support that they are
worthy of and we have no fears for the
result. The trouble has been in the past
that men with axes to grind have been
elected without regard to their business
ability or fitness for the position they
were elected to- This, Of course, does not
apply to all Of the officers, but it IS an
open secret that one belligerent official
can do more mischief than four times as
many can rectify in twice the time. There
are some men nominated for office, who.
il elected, would bring credit and honor
to the association and i their presence in
the management Of affairs would create a
feeling Of conf dence that Is sorely needed
lust now. Our advice to. all members Of
the association is to elect the best men
without reference to the ticket they were
nominated on, and the result will be en-
tirely satisfactory to all. "a concillatory
policy is what is wanted most, and we
hope this advice will be taken in the
spirit in which it ds given.

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

There seems to be q great deal too
much noise and buster over the present
system Of managing the fire department.
In former years, when the city was no
larger than an ordinary country village,
Minneapolis was ever ready to sound the
praises Of the fire depar tment. But as
the city increased in population and area
busy ones have been at work to see how
much noise and disturbance they could
raise in that noble branch Of our city's
government. While a. sH. Runge was ct
the head OF the department there was
3dlssension on all sides, and matters along
that line refused to adjust themselves I'M

The advocates of gold give It out very
often that the silver question has come to
an end and yet q large portion Of the
newspaper space is taken up with discus
sion Of the matter. Instead Of being dead
the discussion looks as Il 1t were on the
increase. Horr and Harvey are still in
the throes Of argument in Chicago and
both sides are claiming victory. The
fact is, however, that Harvey has in no
material particular lost any ground while
Horr, has on more than one occasion.
When the arguments on both sides are
summed up and compared, q more intel

The vigorous contests promised by the
Parnellites do not appear to have ma
terialized in a very pronounced way.
The McCarthyites have swept every
thing before them III comparison to the
other side. But the Tories and Liberal
Unionists will have such majority that
the others will count for little so far as
strong opposition is concerned. The last
election should teach the adherents OF Ire
lands cause lesson which they should
rot forget very soon, but the question is
will they heed it? Matters political will
not remain great while as they are at

Bishop Spald1ng, OF Peoria, VINO IS
strong advocate of the higher education
OF women, isn't prepared to let them
vote. In a recent address he said;
s'Should women vote The rule OF the
people is good only when It is the rule
Of the good and wise among the people,
and Of these women in great numbers are
part. The leadership of the best comes
near to being the leadership Of God. But
the question of the outrage for women
is grave; it is one on which an enlight-
ened mind will long hold. judgment in
suspense. Does not POLITICAL life, as it
exists in our democracy tend to corrupt
both voters and office-seekers? Is it not
largely a life of cant, pretense and n.y.
posrisy, Of venality, corruption and self
ishness, of lying abuse and vulgarity?
Do not public men, like public women
sell themselves, though In a different
way? ]Is the professional politician, the
professional caucus manipulation, the pro-
fessional voter, the type of man we can
admire or respect even? The objection
so frequently raised that political life
would corrupt women has at least the
merit Of a certain grim humorousness.
Could It by any chance make them as
bad as 1T makes men? Tell them they
are the queens Of the home, to whom
the mingling with plebians is degrading,
IS am insult to their intelligence. We
have forsWorn kings and queens, both
in private and in public life, and at home
women are for the most part drudges.
What need is there OF a hollow phrase
when the appeal to truth is obvious?
Active participation in political life Is
not a refining, an ennobling, q purifying
influence. IL 1t desirable that the halt
Of the people to which the interests Of
the home, Of the heart, OF the religious
and moral education Of the young are
especially committed, should be hurled
into the maelstrpm Of selfish passion
and coarse excitement? @ ISL 6.

II Republican success last fall In the
First and Third wards Of this city was
due to Democratic votes this was the
senatorial district which chose w. p.
johnson then all the other districts in
the country were carried by the Repub-
Hcans in the same manner. And yet
there are no Democrats outside OF Senator
Johnson's district Claiming reward for
services performed IN this city or county.
Looking over the entire Hennepin legis-
|lative field, was Mr.. Johnson's success
more wonderful than many of his fellow
Republicans who were also chosen? 1t
seems not. Either Johnson has no Dem
ocrats to reward or all the other Republi-
can members from the county have. That
was a tidal wave that hit the Democratic
party last fall and If Democrats are to be
rewarded by Republicans for carrying
one legislative or senatorial district, why
1t should apply to all with equal force.
