The appellate division of the Supreme
 Court at New York has affirmed the
 judgment in the case of William R. Laid
 law against Russell Sage. The judgment
 is FAC, ,O00 with allowance for counsel fees and costs amounting to $3,000 The de- cision was unanimous. Laidlaw's famous suit arose from the injuries he received from the explosion of a bomb in Russell Sages ff1ceson Decem Der 4, 1891, when man named NOrcross demanded $1 ,20O,- 900 from the millionaire after threaten ing to blow him up with a bomb. Laid laws contention was that Russell Sage drew him between himself and Norcross so that he became'a a partial shield for MT. Sage's body in the explosion that followed, Laidlaw was badly injured by the ex- plosion. Upon his partial recovery, he began suit against Mr.. Sage for S1OO,- GOO damages. The case was dismissed at the first trial hy Justice Andrews. At the second trial in March, 1894, jury awarded Laidlaw verdict of $25, 1000. The decision was reversed by the Su- preme Court general term, in October, 1894. Third and fourth trials of the suit followed. Finally Laidlaw secured verdict for $4O,OOO.

ALTdELD CHOSEN.

Gov. Altgeld has been nominated by
reclamation as governor Of Illinois to suc=.
coed himself at the Democratic state con-
vention this week. The money plank in
the platform is uncompromisingly for
free silver. The governor did not seek
the nomination, in fact, he said that his
health and his business interests would
not permit him to accept it, but the peo-
pie would have it otherwise, and in the
convention there was not one vote OPP
posed to him. 5:.
This is the anarchistic governor that
we have all heard so much abolt-a gov
ernor that stands 50 close to the people
that the libels Of his enemies do not in
the slightest affect him. TWAS Lincoln's
motto to stick to the people; and Altgeld
has found out its benefcent truth.
The race for governor in Illinois will
now be between Gov. Altgeld and John r.
Tanner. Tanner is professional poll
tician who is ever found nibbling at the
loaves and fishes in the public crib. He
has done nothing else during the greater
portion Of his career. Although he
sprang from the lowest walks in life he
has no sympathy with the struggling
masses, simply because the masses are
not In possession of the earth, and the
fullness thereof.
The voters Of the state should lay out
Tanner.

The Colorado Catholic says: The gold
bugs tell us that the free coinage of silver
at 16 to / would result in robbing labor of
its just reward: yet they tell us that they
favor free silver If an international agree
ment could be secured. Now, free silver is
either right or wrong, wise or unwise. II
It Is wrong how can it be made right by in
ternational agreement? If free silver will
rob the laborer In America, why not in
England, Germany. France or Italy? Are
we to infer from the position Of those who
yell for an international agreement that
the robbery of labor is all right and wise,
provided it Is done on a sufficiently large
scale? 1t won't do. The American people
never can be deceived by such fimsy
logic. The demand for an international
agreement is the means by which hypo-
critics seek to misleadsth people. None
but fools will be deceived thereby.
II victory is to be achieved the silver
forces must be united Patriotic Republi-
cans, Democrats and Pppulists must sink
all minor differences and present q solid
phalanx to the goldbug bondholders.

Last Sunday afternoon, Rev Father D.

most beloved priests of this state,

Father O'Sull!van was born In County
Cork, Ireland, 43. years ago and came to
the United States with his brother,
James, q we'll known policeman Of this

Minneapolis about Is years ago Father
O'Sullivan was appointed. assistant to Rev.
Father Felix Tfssot, at the Church of st.
Anthony Of Padua, where he admins
tered his sacred duties to the entire sat

the highest regard for their beloved pas

that he was called upon to leave them

labors for the past 10 years and up to
the close of his busy life were enacted.

which was to him the browning glory of
his career. In this work he was assist

II is impossible to attribute a desire

Mr.. Gladstone concludes that one of two
things villa happen. The examining
tribunal will ALLOW Upon all points the
preponderance of the contentious on be-
half Of the validity OF the Anglican or
ders; or else 1t will pronounce favorably
on, one at least of the three heads I'M
der which the controversy may be divided
and refrain from giving judgment ON the
other points ~
Should the case for the validity OF the
Anglican orders be adjudged to be but
partially made good, it Is evident that no
substantial progress would have been
made toward the reunion Of the Anglican
communion with the church Of Rome.
Suppose, however, that the validity OF
those orders should be- fully recognized.
There would still remain almost insuper-
able obstacles to reunion in matters OF
faith and in matters of government and
discipline. Will that great majority OF
Anglican clergy and communicates who
are classified as belonging to the Low
Church or the Broad Church ever ac-
cept the dogma Of the immaculate con-
ception or the dogma of Papal infalli-
bility? Will they ever acknowledge the
supremacy Of the pope, or acquiesce in
the celibacy of the clergy. 1t is improb-
able that the great body of those includ-
ed in the Anglican communion will do
any OF these things. On the other hand,
it is quite possible that the recognition of
the validity of Anglican orders, which
Mr.. Gladstone hopes for, would accelerate
the gravitation of the High Church party
in the Church of England toward the
church of Rome. For that reason, II for
no other, the pronoun cement of the Holy
Office on the re-opened question will be
waited with keen interest.
