The correspondent of the, Irish Stand
ard, by courtesy of Dean Corbett, re-
Gently inspected the beautiful little al
tar of Irish design and manufacture,
which Bishop McGolrick imported from
Ireland for the chapel in his spacious
residence adjoining the pro-cathedral.
The Bishop of Duluth is an ardent Irish
patriot, and corner in his great library
of some 10000 volumes contains a
choice selection in prose and verse of
rare and valuable works pertaining to
the Emerald Isle. The young Irish.
American in Duluth who grows Up in
ignorance of Irish history and literature
has himself to blame, for it would at
ford the bishop the greatest pleasure to
have him borrow from his collection.
AT the last meeting of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, the following reso-
buttons in reference to the arbitration
treaty were passed: ..:.>.,.oe.,
Whereas, it is admitted that war is
great evil, and yet there are greater
woes that may come of cowardly
peace, and .- -
Whereas, an arbitration, treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain is now pending before the senate Of
the United States, which, if adopted,
may In the future subject our country
to humiliating position in some I'M
foreseen emergencies, and, .>,.r.s.. i.
Whereas, England has never proposed
arbitration with any country when she
deemed herself physically able to en-
force her demands and has never failed
to break treaties made when self-inter-
est demanded it, now, realizing. that the
United States is greater nation in
peace or war, seeks to hide behind ma
tional treaty, while at the same time
she is building Notifications to-; the
northwest, northeast and south of us.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we, the
Ancient Order of Hibernians of Duluth,
Mimi, protest against the passage of
any such treaty with England.
Resolved, that since it is not, and
never has been, the policy of the United
alliance" or to interfere with the af-7
fairs of other nations, it is unnecessary
to enter into any such treaty or to bind
ourselves to the arbitration of wrongs
wantonly perpetrated upon us, or to the
interference of any nation with our az
fairs. -
Therefore we urge upon cur senator's
in congress to prevent. by. their vote
and influence, the passage of such treaty
and that copy of these resolutions he
forwarded to them. .'
