The land case Just decided In favor of
Archbishop Ireland by the secretary Of
the interior has been pending for a
number OF years, and involves the
homes of a large number of settlers.
The archbishop secured the lands Tor
the purpose of locating settlers, an Irish
colony being established, and most of
the lands have passed to these settlers
There still remained. however, a good
many acres not sold or only partially
paid, for, and on the plea that the arch
bishop had simply contract to dispose
of the lands as an agent, an attempt was
made to prevent transfer. The con-
tention of the archbishop is sustained.
and he will receive all the lands I'M
der the second contract Title to the
lands has been unsettled because of
these suits for good many years. and
this final decision of the matter will
come as a relief not only to the settlers
on the lands. but to all residents about
Graceville, where most of the lands are
located. ...--

schools shall have equal treatment from
Mrs. Cooley and others placed in AL.
thority over them, that they shall not
be discharged from the positions they
occupy without an impartial investiga-
ton by the city superintendent and the
board OF education, and that they shall
not be the victims Of personal repug-
nance, prejudice Or caprice on the part
of principals or quasi-superintendents
who draw their salaries from the public
funds.
1t is remarkable fact that but one
lady bearing a Catholic name fills the
position Of principal in the city I.ools.
Whether 1t is owing to lack of educa-
ton and training for the profession we
know not, but Catholic teachers in Min
neapols never get to the top as they
do in the leading cities of the country.
Some of them, to our personal knowl-
edge. are brilliant graduates Of high
schools and normal schools and though
| they have taught with success for many
years they have given up all hope of
ever rising above an assistant. 1t is a
matter Of some consequence to the Cath
Ollie taxpayers to know if their daugh-
tiers who attend the public schools are
Disseminated against as teachers after
spending years in preparation for peda-
gogic work. They now consider them
selves fortunate if they can retain
subordinate positions and escape the hui
initiation of being called incompetent"
pillar by Mrs. Cooley, who seems 10
have no sympathy for the unmarried
members of her own sex whom she de-
prives not only of their bread and butter,
but of what is more valuable to them
their good name as teachers She fol-
lows them relentlessly and keeps them
| from permanent employment, notwith-
standing the fact that they may have
taught successfully for years.
We regret exceedingly to be compelled
by sense of duty to draw public atten-
ton to this disagreeable matter. We
have endeavored to avoid it by commu-
nicating directly with SuptJordan: That
worthy official seems to be the subject
of petticoat government, and appar-
emily forms his opinion from what is
told him by Mrs. Cooley and the prin-
cipals instead Of exercising his jurisdic-
ton Independently of them. If we are
to have a primary superintendent at all,
why not have man? And why, may
we ask. are married women employed in
the public schools when they should be
at home attending to their household
duties? And what superior qualifca-
tions does Mrs. Cooley possess? Who
pronounces upon her capabilities for the
position she fills? Does she get - by
competitive examination or through the
influence of some church organization?
Is she appointed by DR.. Jordan or by
the board OF education on his recon-
mendation? What services does she
render for the salary she draws from
the city? These are pertinent questions
which require satisfactory answers from
the school authorities, whom we highly
esteem.

Chauncey NJ. Depew, the newly elect
ed senator from New York, is GLAD that
Joseph H. Choate has been, appointed
minister to England, for he was his
rival for the senatorial toga. Now that
Choate is gone away and Depew is
elected to represent the New York Cen
trail at Washington, he has nothing but
words of kindness for the Anglomaniac.
He says: 'On the platform Mr.. Choate
and have often crossed swords. When
we meet there is always struggle, and
has been for a.quarter of century, as
to which shall get the last word. II he
obtains it am flayed alive,and if 1 get it
l try to hang his hide on the fence"
Chauncey, of course, talks in lgurative
sense. He has reference to the repar-
tees that passed between them at ban
quets when they were setting the table
in a roar.

Last Tuesday Speaker Dare announced
to the house of representatives the ap-
pointment of Miss Mary D. McFadden,
of Minneapolis. as official stenographer
for that body. Miss McFadden llled a
similar position during the last legis-
lative session. She is bright young
lady, who is we'll known in Twin City
newspaper circles, having been engaged
in special work by the Globe and Times.
Her descriptive writing is of high Or
der of literary merit. Miss McFadden
has followed in the wake of number of
her brother reporters, who have sue
seeded in securing good positions at the
capitol during the present session. She
has surmounted many obstacles in her
path by indomitable energy and perse-
verance, and the Irish Standard pre-
diets for her bright future in the
newspaper profession.

That pro-British sheet, the Chicago
Tribune, brazenly declares that mo
one can say that the natives of India
have been robbed of any of their liberty
and happiness by British rule" What
an audacious statement! The Anglo
Saxon scribe should Immediately read
the trial of Warren Hastings and the
prosecuting speeches of Burke and Sher-
idan. He should then read the life Of
that British tyrant by Lord Macaulay,
who says that the fate of the brave peo-
pie of India was decided in manner
which has left lasting stain on the
fame of England. 1t is too late in the
day for any anglo-maniac to praise
British rule in India. The natives

sessed, as we'll as Of their liberty and

A Pretty Cool World.

This worlds pretty good sort of world,
Taking it altogether
IN spite of the grief and sorrow we meet.
IN spite of the gloomy weather,
There are friends to love and homes tn
cheer,
And plenty of compensation
For every ache for those who make
The best of the situation.
There are quiet hooks for lovers Of
books,
With nature in happy union;
There are cool retreats from the noontide
heats.
Where souls may have sweet COM
munion;
And if there's spot where the sun
shines not
there's always a lamp to light it.
And If there's wrong, We know, ere
long,
That the God above will right It,
So it's not for us to make a fuss
Because of life's sad mischances.
Nor to wear ourselves out to bring about
A change in our circumstances.
For this worlds a pretty good sort OF
world,
And He to whom we are debtor
Appoints our place, and supplies tie
grace
10 help us make it better.

Says the Northwestern Catholic: Can
Catholic be president?" is question
now under discussion in some of our
Catholic exchanges. The answer OF
an American majority is that he can,
but he shall not be: and the answer is
final as far as we can see. We may
call 1t unjust, illiberal and bigoted, but
1t is the unwritten law, inflexible as the
laws of. the Modes and the Persians.
Go, ask Dick Bland, Of Missouri. Go,
ask the shades of Blaine and Sherman.
These men were not Catholics. but they
had Catholic wives or relatives.

The famous Sixty-ninth New York
volunteers, commanded by Col. Duffy
will soon be mustered out The gallant
men of this Irish regiment never got a
chance to fight. Three times they were
ordered to start for Cuba. and just as
they were ready along came counter
handing orders. They have been kept
in camp in Florida and Alabama, and
now they will not be allowed to reach
home as they left tin military ar
ray. The citizens of New York, how
ever, will pay them more respect than
the war department, and give them a
grand ovation on their return. In
future wars the Irish will think twice
before they respond to the call of Nc
Kinley.

Rev. Lyman Abbott is going to quit
preaching in Plymouth church. Ever
since he said that the whale didn't
really swallow Jonah. we have expected
something awful to happen to him or
to the church where he said it.--New

Why any calamity should befall Dr.
Abbott or his church for saying that a
whale did not swallow Jonah our es-
teemed contemporary does not explain,
The fact is that whale did not swallow
that parsonage at all. 1t was a biz
fish, according to the Bible story, that
gobbled him up. A whale is not a fish
which is cold-blooded, but a warm
blooded animal of the mammalian order
which comes to the surface of the water
to breathe, while fish can respire un-
der water by means of gills. 1t is said
