Increase OF Revenue.

1.-The bill has two purposes, namely, to
raise additional revenue ana to encourage
the industries of the United States. On the
bas!s or the importations Of the last fiscal
year the bill would increase the revenue
about $112.000.0 900. divided among the several
schedules roughly as follows:

representatives, intended to be only the
presiding officer of the lower branch OF
congress, has developed. by a simple
process of evolution, into a master who
controls, in great measure. not only
the revenues, but the expenditures OF
the government; whose authority over
wide limits not originally contemplated
is that of an autocrat.
The merits of the two questions in
volved-the Cuban war and the Mic
araguan canal project-do not enter
into the present question. 1t may be
assumed, for argument, that Mr.. Olney,
in speaking for the president, mistook
the temper of the country, and that
Mr.. Reed, in spite of the fact that
majority of the members of the house
petitioned for a hearing, was correct
in assuming that consideration of the
canal matter would be a waste of time.
All of this does not alter the fact that
Mr.. Cleveland was strictly within the
rights and duties of the executive as
laid down by the constitution; and
that Mr. Reed, acting as dictator, placed
himself in a position never dreamed
of by those who created the position
he has the good fortune to fill. 1t is
questionable in the extreme if one Of
the acute dangers which the people of
the United States will ever be compelled
to meet will be "one-manism" in any
department of the government; but,
granting that such a peril exists or
may exist at any time in the future,
those who are keeping an anxious eye
on the president, watching for symp
toms of despotism, would do we'll to
keep the disengaged optic trained care
fully on the speaker of the house of
representatives.

G o b e has already urged, is such an
adjustment of revenue collection
to treasury disbursements as would
prevent the accumulation of so large a
sum of money in the state treasury at
any particular time. The state ought
not to have a large amount of cash to
dispose of, and it's deposits should be
cut down immensely by so fitting tax
collections and disbursements to each
other that small working balance
would be all the state possessed in the
shape of ready cash at any time. This
kind of reform is worthy of legislative
consideration. The idea of making a
state strong box, to reduce the re-
sources of the people and help impov-
erish the community, is just as absurd
upon it's side as would be the PROPOSE
ton to invest the funds in banks with
out any security or promise of return.

THE REAL DICTATOR.

The critics of the president, who. in
the past few days, have been bowling
themselves into a frenzy over the sup
posed desire Of Mr.. Cleveland to trans
form the government into a one-man
power would do we'll to note an Incl
ence in the Washington dispatches. The
united delegations of tne coast states
in congress called upon Speaker Reed
and requested of him, humbly and DO
litely, that time might be given in the
house to the consideration Of the Mic
araguan canal bill. The reply of the
Car was, in effect, that he had already
decided to give the time requested to
other business. It is intimated on be-
half Of the president that he will not
allow the country to be hurried into
war, and lingo" senators start back
in terror before a spectre Of one-man
despotism. The speaker of the house
Of representatives assumes to dictate
what congress shall do, and there is
not ripple of excitement
AS a matter of fact it is probable that
the powers of the president have seen
less extension in the century during
which the constitution Of the United
States has been in operation than either
those Of the judicial or legislative
branches. 1t is well known that the
supreme court, properly enough per-
haps, has, through a long series of prec-
edents and decisions, extended the
scope of its activity beyond it's original
limits. The speaker of the house of

aware, from what he had read in news

Cushman K. Davis-but at present he
had no hope that Minnesota would be
given a cabinet position.

VETERAN PRELATE ILL.
Archbishop Grace Is Threatened
With Pneumonia

Most Rev. Thomas L. Grace formerly
vicar general and now archbishop Of
the titular see of Siunia, is lying at ST.
JCseph's hospital in a critical condi-
tion, the result of a cold contracted a
few weeks ago, which threatened pneu-
monia. At 3 o'clock this morning it
was stated at the hospital that his
condition showed no marked recent
change.
For a number Of years the archbishop
has taken no active part III the affairs
Of the diocese, but has lived quietly In
the serenity Of old age at St Thomas
seminary, having removed from the
archiepiscOpal residence at the time
that Archbishop Ireland moved to his
new home on Chatsworth street.
Most Rev. Thomas L. Grace was born
in Charleston, 8. c., No. 16, f814 In
early manhood he evinced a strong de-
sire to enter the ministry, and in his
fifteenth year he commenced his pre-
paratory studies at the Seminary of
Cincinnati one of the oldest institu-
tions Of the country. A year later he
went to Kentucky and became a men,
Der Of the Dominican order, entering
the ministry Of ST. Rose, where he re
manned until 1887. He went to Rome
and studied at the College of Minerva
for seven years. He was ordained a
priest Dec 81, 1889. He returned to
America in 1874 and entered immedi-
ately upon the exercise Of his duties
Of the ministry in Kentucky. From
Kentucky Father Grace was trans
ferred to Tennessee, and for over thir-
teen years, or until he was raised to
the episcopate, he had charge of a pa~-
ish In Memphis.
In 1859 the pope appointed Father
Grace the successor to Bishop Cretin,
of the discese Of Minnesota, who had
died. The ceremony of consecrating
Father Grace ss bishop took place at
ST. Louis, July "a, 1859, Bishop Ken
rick being the cOnsecrator. On the 18th
Bishop Grace left for his new see by
the steamer Northern Belle. At st.
Paul he was met by a deputation Of
clergymen and laymen.
When Bishop Grace took hold the
new diocese, which included Minnesota
and the Dakotas, contained two Catho-
lie churches and twenty-seven priests,
who administered to g. Catholic popula-
ton Of $4,000 From the Missouri to
Lake Superior there were thirty-One
churches, ninety-seven mission stations
and four schools
In 1875 the vicar1ate of Northern Min
nesota was created, Bishop Seidenbush
being appointed to that see. and at the
same time Father John Ireland was
appointed coadjutor bishop to Bishop
Grace.
Owing to old age and the weakness
Incident thereto, Bishop Grace resigned
the see of St. Paul, April 81, 1884, and
was appointed to the titular see of
Mennith, Nov. Is, Of the same year.
About five years ago, largely through
the good offices of Archbishop Ireland,
the pope promoted the aged prelate to
the dignity of archbishop.
When Bishop Grace voluntarily re-
