legally notified ten years ago to put
up fire escapes as required by law,
but failed to do so, and are liable to
indictment and prosecution for
manslaughter. 1t may also be
suggested that the officials, whose
duty it was to enforce the law, are
likewise liable to indictment and
prosecution as accessories before the
fact,
But why dilate about New York;
1t is not the only city with death
traps and negligent officials. Every
city i'll the country has them,
Louisville not excepted. We have
here hotels, boarding and lodging
houses, tenement houses, public
halls, stores, factories, and even
fashionable flats, without adequate
means of egress, the occupants of
which are in constant danger of
death or serious injury in case of
fire, and we have a rigid law pro-
hibiting such conditions and regu-
lating such buildings. Why is it
not enforced? What official is
neglecting his duty? The Mayor?
Chief of Police? Building In
spector? Who? Must we have
holacust to arouse our officials from
their lethargy? We hope simple
reminder will suffice. Make the
death traps safe, or tear them down.
That is the object and purpose of
the law. Enforce it.

RARE TREAT.
Such Was the Lecture by the
Rev. Father McFadden
Last Wednesday.

The lecture of Rev. Father McFadden,
of Gweedor, Ireland, Wednesday even
ing, was attended by fair-sized but very
appreciative audience. He was Introduce
III a most complimentary way by Hon,
Matt O'Doherty, and for an hour held his
audience spell-bound at times causing
great enthusiasm and laughter. Upon
the conclusion of his lecture he was
warmly applauded, and those who failed
to hear him missed rare treat. Many
were kept away by the inclemency of the
weather.
Before the lecture the Orient Mandolin
and Guitar Club were introduced to the
audience by President V. B. Smith. They
rendered several very difficult selections
in a masterful manner, and were the re.
cipients of several encores.

in the South. He served as United States
Senator from Georgia, Mayor of Augusta

DR.. McCook, who was sent to
Santiago by the War Department

that on the battlefield of San Juan

is at the foot of a tree shattered
and stripped by shot, to which is

Two weeks ago we referred to
the suit of the dissatisfied share
holders to have the Dispatch Pub
fishing Company declared insolvent
and placed in the hands of a re-
ceiver, and expressed the opinion
that the testimony of plaintiffs was
mostly incompetent, would be ruled
out by the court, and the petition
dismissed. Last Saturday Judge
Miller so ruled, and, in addition,
fined the plaintiffs, their attorneys
and the Notary S. each for taking
the dispositions in violation of the
rules of the court. Judge Miller's
opinion is able, and clearly defines
the relation and rights of share
holders and corporations. The Dis
patch is, of course, happy over the
result.

UNJUST CRITICISM.

We regret to note tibet one of
our contemporaries ridicules and
denounces the Hon. Bourke Cock
ran, of New York, because he at
tended the farewell banquet to Am
bassador Choate, and said some COM
plimentary things about Choate and
England. We have not always
agreed with Cochran or Choate, but
they are both men of the highest
ability and character, respected and
deserving the respect of all men,
even though we may not always APP
prove of the views they express.
Both are men of worldwide repu-
tation, and it is in no sense an I'M
enviable one. We do not know
that either have ever said or did
anything to merit the enmity of the
Irish people, unless it be that
Choate, in the discharge of his
duty as a commissioner, or in other
capacity, representing this govern
ment on international issues, has
not always decided to the detriment
of England, and that Cochran, on
the proper occasion when the cir
cumstances made it proper to do so,
dared to speak in complimentary
terms of Choate and the English
people.
To denounce public men for
this indicates a narrowness of
view and national hatred against
which Ireland has justly COM
planned as prompting the rul-
ing class in England, in their
government of the Irish peo-
pie, and its manifestation by the
advocates of Ireland S cause will do
Ireland only harm, especially in this
country. Hatred of England and
everything English as a test of
Irish patriotism or friendship for
Ireland may suit some, but it will
never do as an incentive to Ameri-
can sympathy or favor. The
American people are far too liberal
minded to even approve such vitu
peration, and indulgence in it only
excites their disgust, and when, as
i'll the present ease, an Irishman is
condemned by Irishmen, the Ameri-
can is not likely to be moved to
higher regard for the Irish
character.
Bourke Cochran, is a native of
Ireland, one of the few great ora
tors of this country; a man of
ability, learning, integrity, purity,
respected and honored by people of
all classes and opinions for his
worth; such a man as any people
should be proud to claim as their
own instead of repudiating and
denouncing him because those who
may be enemies of his race praise
and honor him for the same reason
that others do-his greatness of
character, sterling talents and good
ness of heart. To do so is only to
give Ireland's enemies another
chance to charge that it is only the
Irish who are ungrateful and always
condemn their great men.
