Minneapolis Times: The neces-
sity for a more effective tariff and
revenue law IS so apparent that
even the opposition senators will
hardly have the face to make any
very strenuous opposition to \ fair
measure pr, s>ntcd by the Repub.
l,cans at an extra session. The
deficit for January was in round
numbers $6,OO0,000. The old ad.
ministration is going out of otfice
with government expense exceeding
it's income ut thu rate of $72, 900,
900 a year. And whether the
administration and it's friends will
admit it or not, this deficit, rs well
AS. the general business prostratlon,
can b. traced almost directly to
the tariff policy which was pro:
claimed with such flourish Of
trumpets in 1892, and which the
administration and the Democratic
majority in congress str.'i I'd
every nerve to effect uate in 1893.

DRESS SUIT. ADMIRAL SUIT. SERVICE COAT.
est is made of blue, rough finished serge
and has either long or short trousers. If
short, they are full, like golf trousers,
but are not finished with the golf cuff
at the knee. The blouse is closed in
front and has a yoke effect. A white
serge shield, a broad collar aud deep cuffs
trimmed with white braid give the fin-
ishing touches. Another new style is
the admiral. 1t is intended for boys up
. to 10 years and is favorite with the
little chaps. -: ~. 49,.
The vest Of this suit fastens behind
and is finished round Mt the bottom. The
coat is short, something like an Elton
coat, and is cut away so as to show q
good deal of the vest. Cheviot finished
blue serge which has rough finish
and fine quality blue diagonal make up
best in this suit. though the dark brown
mixed serges are worn. The new year
/, finds the Elton suit somewhat modified.
It is popular for dress. This Elton suit
is not worn by boys under 8 and is de-
signed for full dress: It is made in black
only, with trousers or kniokerbQDkers.
The jacket il short and has long, narrow
reversible lapels that fold back nearly
down to the waist With this suit small
boys wear stiff white linen shirtwaists,
while! those from II to IA wear shirts
with standing collars, Tuxedo suit are
more in demand for full dress this year
than ever before and are worn by Swear
Odds with short trousers. They are made
of black imported satin finished wor-
steds, silk lined and faced. Black vel
veteen suits handsomely braided are al.
ways good form for full dress. The swell
est design has vest cbuttoned straight
from the chin down and square cor
nered jacket. Boys over 10 do not wear
velveteen suits, and long trousers in
velveteen are considered very bad form.
For school wear the plain double
breasted sack suit is the style for. boys
from up to 16 years. Plain. fancy,
mixed and checked cassimeres and chew
lots and gray corduroys are the best
materials for ordinary wear, though
the last is more used for outing suits.
These suits have 10 vests.
-. While boys suits run rather to the
navy, their overcoats are military in
style. One Of the novelties Of the season
is the military cape, with a hood, for
boys from 4 to 10 years old. Another
novelty, and one Of the most popular
listers ever brought out, is the United
States service coat for boys from 4 to ~
years old. 1t is made Of blue kersey and
comes almost to the ankles, fastening
on the left side with handsome black
frogs. The back is full and belted in at
the waist, with pointed hood. Refers

PluRnnef, says that st. Patrick meter
existed at all. He says that the belief
in the existence Of the Irish apostle
dates from the publication Of the Vener-
able Bedes' Ecclesiastical History" in
which these words occur: "Qui ct patri-
cius fuit" The translator, says Rev.
Plummer, assumed that "patricius" was
proper name, though in tho original
manuscript the initial letter is a small
"p" and he translated it accordingly
According to him the Latin words mean
Whose name was Patricius" or Pat
rick; but Mr.. Plummer tries to show
that the word is an adjective and sim.
ply means that the gentleman referred
to was noblY born and held high rank
in society at that time. OF the existence
Of st. Patrick he finds not the slightest
trace, and he insists that Erfn's favorite
hero would never have existed had not
a careless or ignorant scribe wrongly
assumed that "patricius" with a small
"p," mind you'll meant "Patrick" or
"Patricius," which is the Latin form Of
the word. Very likely on next st. Fat
rick's Day we will hear from some Of the
Protestant ministers and learn OIL the
authority of Dr.. Plummer that St. Pat
rick was a myth; as In the past we have
heard from them on the authority Of DR..
Todd that he was good Protestant who
did not knuckIe to the Pope IF Rome.

the affair at Carson City.
The artist had no sueh thought IN
mind, and the Journal would not have
permitted linn to express such an idea
If he had been disposed to. It has
learned since, however, of one fact
which it was not aware Of when the
cartoon, was made, and that is that con-
siderable feeling had already been
aroused among the Irish people of the
Catholic faith over the fact that two
men, both of whom were supposed to
! be Irishmen and claimed to be Catholics,
should have selected that day, honored
in Irish Catholic circles everywhere, for
80 disgraeeful an affair as prize fight,
and the seeming connection in the car
toon of St. Patrick with the prize fight
was regarded by many as adding insult
to injury.
The Journal sincerely regrets having
wounded the feelings of race and re-
1igion of any of it's fellow citizens, and
hopes that this explanation, while 1t
may not justify <he taste which the
paper displayed in using cartoon of
that kind, will at least acquit it of any
intention to show disrespect to name
so honored by all Christian people,
whether Catholic or Protestant, as that
of St. Patrick.

The following extract from the Gre

to the rejection Of the Anglo-American

Possibly the real ground of the de-
feat is to be discovered in that dis

Of the total change that has come
about in the theory of the British
empire. Nothing so novel or So for

the large arena Of world ,litics since
Napoleon undertook to realize his drea...

directions to procure concessions and
establish claims which may gradually,
at the opportune moment gave color
for a new British conquest. The pes
pie of the United States see no prospect
of differences with Great Britain ex-
cept such as may grow out of acts 70,
which Great Britain is responsible. Th...
is in no sense the fault of the average

Recently distinguished representative
of the British government waited on
President Kruger, of the Transvaal,
saying that he had come, not in his
official capacity, but as a citizen, to
plead OH behalf of the two reformers
still in prison. ''Let them sign the con-
ditions the same as the Others" said
Dom Paul, land they will at once be
liberated. It lies in their own hands. !"
"But," rejoined his visitor, II want you
to show them mercy" The presidents
reply was, ct lies entirely in their own
hands," "Do you expect them to ask
you for mercy?' asked the British OFF,
eiaE. EDO you remember that OF the
two thieves on the Cross one asked for
mercy and received it, the other did not
and was damned?' asked the president.
"B,1t," answered the official, eft is the
custom for civilized states to pardon
political offenders after certain period
of punishment els that so?" rejoinad
the president. Glow is it then that
England still keeps the Irish political
prisoners in Jail after Il years punish
ment?'' The conversation stopped right
there, the English official having no re-
ply to make.

the disgust Of the loyaAsts and their
sycophants. -
In Belfast, Derry and other northern
cities, where orangemen predominant,
the corporations passed resolutions Of
adulation and loyalty to the woman
whom they despised in 1887, and tried
to keep from ascending the throne at
all. In 1870 they threatened to kick
her crown into the Boyne for signing;
the Irish church act which Mr.. Glad
stone passed though fear Of Fenianisnl,
as he candidly admitted himself. TO re-
heve the Catholics and Dissenters Of
Ireland from supporting the Established
church, of which Victoria was the fe-
male pope or head.
! Orangeism and British officialism In
ireland can be relied on at all times
and in all places to display their loyalty
to England's queen and government.
They would be ingrates il they did not,
and the least they can do is to show
their gratitude for favors received is to
celebrate the jubilee of their queen on
the Goth of June.
The real Irish people who have been
plundered, prosecuted, imprisoned, ex-
patriated and starved for their benefit
cannot be reasonably expected to join
them in the glorification. They would
be devoid of manhood and self-respect
if they did otherwise than what they are
doing. They have risen many degrees
in our estimation and the exiles of Erin
in every land to which British tyranny
has consigned them will be proud of the
dignifed attitude they have assumed on
the occasion of the queens diamond
jubilee celebration. -
Let them now reunite in their love
for Ireland and drop all dissensions, and
then they can reckon on the moral and
financial support of their expatriated
countrymen from the old land.

The Tribune gets into q facetious
mood over the Journals apology to the
Irish people for its cartoon Of ST. Pat
ticks day, and truly says: "There is
nothing like the steady sloughing OF q
subscription list to make the apology
department earn its money" The
Tribune knows whereof 1t speaks, from
sad experience. It's former manager,
Alden J. Blethen, informed the writer
that the Tribune lost $4,000 as result
of it's virulant attacks ON the Irish RAGS
in 1886. In justice to the Journal, we
will say that this is the first time it
was necessary for it to apologize to the
Irish people for anything appearing in
its pages. The same cannot be said Of
its morning contemporary.
