DOOLEY OF REAL LIFE.

A distinctive part of the great west
side of Chicago is st. Patrick's parish
1t lies near the river. and was built in
the early days of the city by Irishmen;
and the Irish have been the dominant
part of its population ever since, says
the San Francisco Examiner. The fu-
nerals have been of the longest; the
christenings and wakes have been con-
Quoted with the old-country fervor
ward politics and the ST Patrick's day
parade has always been reviewed
there.
In this district Finley P. Dunno was
born a little more than thirty years
ago. Today he is Importing its color to
the weekly observations of Mr.. Dooley,
the Archey road saloonkeeper.
DUNES understanding of Irish phil
osophy was not expressed in print I'M
til years after his literary ability in
other directions had been shown. AS
a youngster he did his first newspaper
work for a small sheet published in
the building that has since become the
home of the Whitechapel club. His
duties We're numerous as a member of
a very small staff, and he had to take
a shy at everything from editorial lead
ers up and down. Work on large
evening paper developed him so rapidly
that he was made city editor of the
Times at 81. and he became Sunday edi-
tor of the Tribune not long after. But
his ambition was to write, and he glad
ly gave up desk work.
The first of his Irish sketches told
how the news of the Sullivan Corbett
fight was received in a large hall in
Chicago. The central figure was Colonel
Thomas Jefferson Dolan, a widely
known local politician, now dead The

ST. PATRICK REMEMBERED.

Yesterday was a great day for the
Irish everywhere. In all the larger
cities of the United States and in MANY
of the towns there were parades and
cavalcades and lots of fun. Green rib
bons fluttered in every breeze and the
underlying enthusiasm of Eibernians
makes it one of the hveliest days of all
the year.
st Patricks is about the only for
eign national holiday that is generally
observed in this country, and no one
doubts for moment the loyalty and
the Americanism Of the adopted citi-
zens or their descendants who celebrate
the occasion.
While the Irish seem to think as
much of the 18th of March as we all
do of the 4th of July, it is with differ
emit emotions the days are kept and with
different ideas they are celebrated.
Upon st. Patricks day in the morn
ing the old-fashioned Irish gentleman
takes out the high hat that his three
ply great-grandfather wore in the good
old days of village fairs, and picks up
the blackthorn that the old man car
ried through many a rough and tum-
bic fight, and he sallies forth to dance
a breakdown on the sidewalk or to fol-
low the emerald flag through all the
evolutions OF a street parade.
Others who are without the treasured
heirlooms content themselves with
shamrocks and ribbons of the color of
springtime.
The day is one Of jigs and jags and
joy And why shouldn't it be? Isn't it
observed in honor Of the patron saint
of old Ireland-the blessed st. Patrick
who drove all the snakes from Erin?
1t is related Of him that he banished
the Druids first. Then the serpents be-
came so bad that the people applied
to him for help. They were so thick
that every Irishman saw snakes. And
the legend goes on to say that the saint
called all the serpents to the top of a
hill and compelled them to swallow
one another till none was left Another
account is to the effect that Patrick
drove them out by beating a drum, and
that he struck it so hard as to knock
a hole in it, whereupon an angel, lest
the accident should Illustrate the saints
object, appeared and mended the rent
in the instrument, which, patch and
all, was shown as a holy relic in COM
paratively recent years.
Scores Of stories as marvellous as this
one of the snakes are told Of st. Pat
rick. And one of the very newest is
that he was an Italian.
Pity that with the snakes he couldn't
have banished from Ireland the woe,
and the famines. and the oppression
and the distress that the people have
had to endure for SO many long and
weary years.

HIS SENSE OF DUTY.

Our morning contemporary PUSHES to
the defense Of Chief Pratt No one ex-
poets anything else. The public under
stands the connection.
During the last city campaign this
same contemporary gave out the i'm
preston that Arthur Pratt would not
receive an appointment. Still, subse-
quent developments have confirmed the
suspicion that it would not have taken
the position it took in that fight but for
some sort of understanding in relation
to the appointments
It is trying to cover up his peep-hole
exploits and give them the appearance
of public duty, rather than personal
hostility. But it won't do. The people
of Salt Lake City generally understand
the motives which actuated the head
Of the department.
According to Mr.. Law the chief had
been planning q, Montana sensation
himself. He was as anxious to defeat
McCune as was Law. In fact, he had
been trying to get a peep hole case for
some time, but the men selected as de-
coys failed for the lack Of nerve.
These are Laws statements. If our
neighbor disputes them it bellies Mr..
Law. 1t must choose between these
peep-hole politicians, If Pratt was ac-
tuated by a sense OF duty, why was he
in one senatorial headquarters plotting
against another? Why had he been
looking so long for such case? Why
was he so anxious?
If Chief Pratt has no higher concep-
ton of the duties of his office than to
lend aid and encouragement to con-
fessed conspirators, if he thinks the tax
payers of Salt Lake City pay him and
the men under him for the purpose of
assisting a badger-trap decoy to carry
out an oft-repeated threat or to work
q cherished grudge against a citizen
whose only offense consists in bringing
riches from a, foreign land and adding
it to the wealth OF Utah, he ought to
be enlightened Immediately by the
mayor.

Abraham Lincoln was Medilrs great
friend, and one of the EDITORS early ex-
periences was on the occasion of a
speech by Lincoln which Medill forgot
to report because he became so abb
sorbed in the speech he forgot to make
any notes of what the orator was say
ing.
Although Mr. Medill was unable to
talk socially with his staff and subor-
dinates, few men have ever had more
loyal service and genuine affection than
the Tribune men gave to their chief.
They knew he appreciated good work,
because he took pains to approve it

If they were right, he would stand by
them, no matter what it cost him or his
paper. And that was the key to his
successEa success paralleled only by
the achievements of the elder Dana,
whom he resembled in many ways.

GARNiSHMENT LAWS.

The new exemption law is one of the
most popular measures passed by the
last legislature. It is looked upon by
the laborer and by victims of financial
misfortune as needed relief from the
threats and prosecutions of persistent
collectors who sometimes drive men out
of employment without accomplishing
anything else.
AS the law is changed married men,
and single men with families depend
ing upon them for support, are exempt
from garnishment to the full amount
of their earnings for period of sixty
days next preceding the levy of execu-
ton.
In both houses the committee reports
We're unfavorable, but friends of the
measure and of the masses worked for
the passage Of the bill until success
crowned their efforts.
1t is an act of charity for families in
straitened circumstances more than a
protection for judgment debtors, and
for this reason it will be generally
looked upon as a just and equitable
law

NORWAY AND SWEDEN.

The open insult offered the Swedish
crown prince in the storthing indicates
that a war for separation is near at
hand.
The covert insinuations of individual
officials of Norway, the rudeness of the
rabble. and the discourtesy of Norwe-
gians generally to the regent of the
Scandinavian union, might all be over
looked.
But when sixty Leftists, members of
the storthing, the legislative assembly
of Norway, declined an invitation to
dine with Crown Prince Gustaf, who is
acting as regent of Sweden and Nor
way during the absence of King Oscar
II, is very significant. 1t is a, sort of
climax to the outbursts of disapproval
all over Norway since the appointment
of Gustaf as regent.
A measure of strength in the near
future need surprise no one; and the
result viii be a permanent separation
of the two countries.
