"TRAvEsTY UPON INTELLIGENCE.
Says All EnG1ishman of the Irish Res
O1nfionS,

To The st. Paul Globe:
I note, with much disgust, the action of
the Irishmen Of st. Paul, in denouncing the
coalition of the English-speaking race
These are the men who claim to be such
conscientious followers of the Christ who
gave us the Lords Prayer, which teaches US
to forgive them that trespass against u.s.
They can themselves Christians and refute,
by their actions, every tenet of the Chris
tan faith.
1t Is religious intolerance ana not love
for humanity that dominates their every ac-
ton. Why, the great majority Of the la
boring masses of Great Britain are as in
nocent of any crime against the Irish race
as are the people Of these United States.
Talw about the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood Of man in the face of such
resolutions as the ones passed on Thursday
night is a trvesty upon the intelligence Of
the human race.
If the Irishmen in America ever expect to
achieve anything for their brothers in the
Emerald Isle, they want to drop their bigotry
and hate and prove by their own example
that they are worthy the respect of honest
Englishmen.
For a priest to participate in such UNI.
Christianlike proceedings is a disgrace to the
cloth, and I trust that the American people
will place a proper estimate upon such con-
duct. l am. Yours truly,
AN English-American, and All That tho
Term Implies.

The gentleman, accepted as such by
his time, is never the same in each
succeeding epoch, but he is always the
highest ideal of his day. He is the
product of that evolutionary process
that has brought mankind thus far on
the upward way, and which must take
him still farther before the universal
man becomes the gentleman; a process
which Mr.. Crothers terms "a cosmic
play of Pussy wants a corner Each
creature wants to get into a snug cor
ner of it's own; but no sooner does it
find it than it is tempted out by the
prospect of another Then ensues a
scrambling for the coveted position;
and, as there are never corners enough
to go around. some one must fail
Though it is hard on the disappointed
players. the philosophers find it easy
to show that it is an admirable ar
rangement. If there were corners
enough to go around, and every one
were content to stay in the corner

would be over. That would be an end

And then our sedate minister on his
vacation with humor, goes down the
ages tracing the evolution Of the gen.
tleman, through Abraham and COnfu-
cius, and Marcus Antoninus and Laun-
celot, through the age Of gallantry
into that of chivalry, into the sixteenth
century when "old ideas disappear to
come again in new combinations" and
the scholar, the poet and the artist
cease ministering to others and become
centers of admiration. AS the Hun
and Goth and Vandal came to sub
merge the old Roman gentility, so, lat
er, came the uprising democracy to
demolish the feudal gentleman and
evolve yet another and a truer type.
What is unessential drops off; what
is essential remains. Under the influ-
ence of democracy the word gentle
man ceases to denote privilege, and
comes to denote character" But the
latest type defies definition, except
negatively; it is easier to tell what our
democratic gentleman is not than what
he is. But he is not what his prede-
cessors were; he is something more
manly

The Rise of the Gentleman.

Those OF us who have not ceased
to mourn the greed of Cambridge for
the best and his sense of duty-doing
that took Rev. S. M Crothers from
among us find some solace in his an
pearance with us in the pages Of the
May Atlantic, where he discourses on
"The Evolution Of the Gentleman" with
that delightful humor which runs in
so deep and rich a vein through his
intellect, and which the gravity of the
cloth could hardly suppress even in the
pulpit. There is also, now and then,
the CLINT of that sarcasm, edged with
humor, that smites without pain. We
congratulate the Atlantic that there
has come to it, after many years of
absence, the spirit of kindly, gentle
humor that made it's pages so charm
ing when Lowell and Hawthorne and
Holmes made the monthly visits of
that magazine rich treat to be long
ed for and relished when it came.
Mr.. Crothers abandons the attempt
to define a gentleman" when he dis
covers that that encyclopedia of all
possible definitions, the Century die
tionary, covers with the word at once
"a man Of good family; of gentle BIRTH
and also IAN apparatus used in SOL

himself with the reflection that latter
all, definitions are luxuries, not neces-

Railroad Earnings Undiminished.

Railroad Earnings Undiminished.
From Bradstreets.
The railroads of the country appear to have
been in a class by themselves during the
month of April. Their earnings returns GER
tainly show few effects of the dullness and
depression complained of in some sections of
the country. The admittedly good business
they have done has been to some extent. of
course, qualified by the very low rates at
which much of the traffic was handed. But
in spite of the depression in general business
and in face of the cutting of rates, feature
so long complained of, the April exhibit
proves to be the best made since the begin
ming of the year, so far at least as the per-
centage of gain shown over the corresponding
period year ago can be regarded as indica-
tive. In some sections, indeed. the railroads
appear to have done the best business report
ed for very long time past, this being es-
pecially the case among the grangers and
the central Western lines. Furthermore. 1t
should not be forgotten that, while there
were some unfavorable features present dur
ing the month, those features were not of
kind to be Immediately reflected In railroad
earnings, and some circumstances, notably
the concentration of the bulk Of the regular
army on the seaboard. with all this i'm
piled, actually proved a very profitable
feature for the roads concerned in its trans
portation.
The total earnings of ITO railroads for the
month of April aggregated $4S,Os5324, gain
over April, 1897, Of $5,7S7,OO or 15.5 per cent
This gain compares we'll with most preceding
months this year and last.
The gain shown in April was the largest for
any month this year, and with one exception.
that Of November last year. was the heaviest
reported since the setting-in of the late de-
preston. The showings made by the groups
of roads are likewise good ones.
The Pacific roads come first in the size OF
the gains shown, with an increase of 81 per
cent, over the corresponding month year
ago. This is hardly as good showing as
that made in March, but the granger roads
show a gain of 21.4 per cent, against smaller
gains in recently preceding months and the
same holds true of the central Western group,
which reported gain for April OF 1915 per
cent. Among other good increases might be
mentioned the Southwestern roads. with
gain of 154 per cent. while the increases on
the trunk lines, the coal roads and the South
ern roads vary between and 10 per cent
The large increases are numerous, as may
fba fo11 table.
