The Milwaukee Citizen is publish
ing interviews with managers of lead
ing Catholic journals on 'the pros
poets and the future of the Catholic
press" The managers, of course, are
like doctors, and differ widely in their
views. One says that the younger
generation supports the press better
than did the older ones now passing
away, while another is of the con-
trary opinion. The manager of a
wide-awake New York paper declares
that the average Catholic young man
does not read Catholic paper at all,
and is wont to sneer. at it. In our
opinion, the Catholic paper, as a rule,
contains too much religious news for
the young man. The priest-editor gen.
orally runs too much to church mat
tiers and appears to be more anxious
to please the clergy than the laity.
Why not vary the contents, and give
the young layman change Of mental
diet once in while? The Catholic
young man is all right if he is catered
to in the proper way. Some Catholic
papers are very popular with young
men. We could name dozen of them.

Demand Tor Celtic Works.

Editor of the Irish Standard
Through your valuable paper 1 de-
sire to call attention to the want, or
rather the entire absence of Irish or
Celtic works in our public library. It
seems strange that the library board
has taken no action in satisfying the
demand for this class of literature, al
though their attention has frequently
been called to the subject. 1t. was
known that Mr.. Putnam, the former
librarian, was favorable to the pur-
chase of these books for the library.
He pleaded delay, however, in taking
Immediate action on account of the
limited funds on hand and the more
pressing demand for other classes of
books. DR.. Hosmer, the present libra
rian, while also expressing himself
friendly to the idea, offers substan-
TALLY the same reasons as his prede-
cessor. Let it be understood that a
collection of Celtic works, in the sense
here used, would not mean simply
number of works exclusively in the
Irish language, which only a few of
the Irish themselves are able to read
or understand. While the collection
would contain books purely in Irish, it
would, on the other hand, comprise
TRANSACTIONS in English from the Irish
in some instances, side by side with
the originals; commentaries from Eng
fish sources on Irish annals; history,
topography and antiquities; in short,
everything considered of special inter-
est to the student, or of curiosity to
the general reader. If this line could
not be fully carried out, list, at least,
of the more important Celtic works
should be placed in the library. Min
neapolis is the seat Of our state uni
versity, besides having many other in
situations of learning within it's lin
it's. For the benefit Of such students.
attending upon these places of educa-
ton, as might desire to investigate
the claims of Celtic learning and civil
tzation, it would seem no more than
In accordance with the enlightened
spirit of the age that this privilege be
opened to them through our public
library. If the library board will do
nothing in this regard, let a subscrip-
ton fund be opened in the Irish Stand
ard, and the money thus raised be ap-
piled to placing a collection of Irish
works in the public library of Mime
apolis. Respectfully,
MARTIN f. McHALE.

stronger than in Stearns and Benton
counties and in the more northerly
parts of the state; and, had no other
than the ordinary methods and resorts
been adopted, the Lind majority i'll
Stearns county would probably have
reached $500 or more, instead of 1900
and in Benton county 500 instead of
81; and with results in the same direc-
ton in many other of the northerly
portions of the state. The tide of
votes toward Lind was counteracted
by skillful efforts"
In his valedictory before the house
and senate, Governor Lind referred to
Republican tactics as follows:
"In view of the fact that in the last
three gubernatorial elections in this
state, certificates of election have been
issued in two instances to candidates
who only received minority of the
votes cast and that the integrity of
the result as declared has been uues-
toned by large body of our people,
feel it my duty to call your atten-
ton to the fact that our statutes pro-
vide no method for reviewing the cleo
ton returns for state office or the
result declared. This is not in har-
mony with the general spirit of our
legislation on the subject of elections,
nor with the principles of sound gov
ernmental policy. There should be a
remedy for every wrong. If a candi-
date for state Office is deprived of
This election certificate by fraud or er-
ror, he is entitled to a speedy remedy.
Denial of this, it is readily conceived,
might bring on the same complications
in this state that have arisen in other
states, and we should not invite dan
gers by denying what seems to me a
plain matter Of justice 1t is needless
for me to say that l do not ask that
legislation in this behalf be made ap-
plicable to elections already held"
The Irish Standard dislikes to ques-
ton the honesty of Republican man
ayers, but it is firmly convinced that
in gubernatorial elections in Mime
sofa they are not above suspicion, and
therefore it favors the suggestion of
the outgoing governor in regard to
providing for the reviewing of cleo
ton returns by the passage of stat
ute by the legislature now in session.
We elsewhere give the inaugural adj
dress of Governor Van SAINT and the
farewell address of Governor Lind.
They are both worthy of careful pc
rusal by the citizens of Minnesota
We wish Governor Lind every success

nor Van SAINT the same in his official

state. The people know what John
Lind has done and tried to do, and he
goes out of office with their respect
and esteem. If Governor Van SAINT at
the expiration of his term merits the
approval of the people in the same
degree as John Lind he will have given
q satisfactory administration,

The Providence Visitor refers to
the praise bestowed on Miss Elder by
the New York Independent for her
censorious article on Catholics, and
says: 'It is the same old story. Any
suggestion from any Catholic source
that Catholics are in any way inferior
to Protestants is sure to be exploited
as a tribute to Professionalism and re-
proach to the faithful. Had Miss Elder
confined herself to exhorting her CO.
religionists to increased activity on
behalf Of the poor, without indulging
in odious comparisons, her article
would have shared the fate of such
exhortations generally" Had the old
spinster of New Orleans been anybody
else but the niece Of Catholic arch
bishop she never would have been
heard Of in the newspapers. Count
VIM. J. Onahan, of Chicago, is re-
sponsible for bringing her before the
public for the first time at the Cath
olic congress of religions during the
Worlds Fair. Notoriety is the breath
of her nostrils.

In an editorial on Mayor Ames the
St Paul Globe says: Were a Demo
cratic executive to do such an act as
that which Mayor Ames has just ac-
complished there would be no end of
denunciation, not only of the executive
so acting, but Of the party with which
he was identified. Mayor Ames has
laid the foundation of his personal and
political machine. He has thrown out
and will continue to throw out of Of
flee where he is allowed to do so by
law every man, no matter what his
politics is, who does not worship at
his shrine.

When an anti-1rish paper, like the
London Spectator, drivels eulogy all
over Tim Healy, it is time for that
gentleman to examine his conscience
and having discovered wherein he has
offended Ireland and Ireland's God.
to make hearty act of contrition and
purpose firmly to sin no more.-Father
Cronin in Buffalo Union and Times.
Whenever Daniel O'Connell elected
approval from the London press he
usually examined his conscience to
find out what he had said or done to
injure the cause Of Ireland, and then
resolved to change his tactics. But
Tim Healy bears no resemblance to
O'Connell except in the gift of vitupe-
rative eloquence.

Gen. Viljoen, Of the Boer army, is
paying back the British in their own
coin. By way of retaliation for de-
struction of farming property in the
Transvaal and Orange Free State, he
has destroyed with dynamite mining
property in Cape Colony to the value
of $250,000. The colonial troops under
Brabant refused to apply the torch to
Boer homes and We're threatened with
death for disobedience. The artillery
was ready to fire on them when they
took up their guns and muttered ven
geance. The Tommy Atkinses now
carry on the incendiary work under
orders from Lord Kitchener, the butch
er of Omdurman. Viljoen's tactics
may cause change in the British pro-
gram of determination.

A GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.

In the retirement of John Lind as
reform governor of Minnesota the
state has lost an honest, capable and
conscientious official who during his
term Of office had an eye single to the
best interests of the commonwealth.
His political opponents in the last
campaign made no attempt to impugn
his integrity, and reluctantly admitted
that lie made good executive. The
people of the state, irrespective of par
ty, recognized his superior qualifica-
tions, and the vote they cast for his
reelection testified to his popularity.
While President Mckinley received
plurality Of over $4,000 votes, S. r.
Van SAINT, the Republican opponent of
John Lind, received only 1854, thus
demonstrating that some $4,000 Re-
publicans supported the New Ulm
statesman.
That many more voters cast their
ballots for John Lind is n well estab-
lished fact The trickery of the Re
publican managers, however, succeed
ed in defeating him. One Tom Lucas,
blatant demagogue, was the Social
Democrat candidate for governor, and
the ballots cast for both Lind and Lu-
cas- to the number of some 10000 were
thrown out without being counted at
all, and did not appear in the official
figures for either Of them.
Ii Lucas had been placed on the
ticket as Social-Republican and vot-
ers marked after his name and Van
SAINTS, the Winona navigator would
not. be governor of Minnesota today.
Hence it is an undeniable fact that
the choice of the people for governor
was counted out while the candidate
they did not want was counted in.
The Irish Standard, however, does
not charge Van SAINT with either
trfckery or fraud, but he is governor
by the reprehensible methods of his
campaign managers. The Sank Rap
ids Sentinel, strong Republican pa
per, which supported him, is candid
enough to say:
"The tendency favorable to the cleo
ton of Governor Lind was nowhere

The esteemed St. Paul Globe has an
eulogistic editorial on the death of
Lord Beresford, in which it refers to
him as Admiral Beresford, ga great
sailor" 1t enormously takes Lord
Charles for Lord William, the gallant
soldier who won the Victoria cross in
the Zulu war. It is William and not
Charles who has shuffled off the mortal
coil. 1t is Charles, who wrote in the
December North American Review on
1.-THE Future of the Anglo Saxon
Race" and he is still in the flesh.
The dead Beresford performed gal
liant feat in the Zulu war by lifting a
wounded soldier to his saddle and cut
ting his way through horde of saw
ages. Sergeant O'Toole came to his
rescue and Beresford refused to &C.
cept the decoration unless O'Toole re-
ceived it, too. He was the third son
of the Marquis of Waterford, and the
descendant of a Cromwellian soldier.
He was un-Irish in everything but
bravery. The Beresfords could never
go to parliament from Ireland on ac-
count of the cruelties of their ancest-
ors in 1898. Three of them We're men,
bers of the Irish parliament and voted
for the legislative union. J. Beresford
was commissioner of revenue; J. Ber-
esford, Jr., was purse-bearer to Lord
Glare and afterwards a bishop; and
Marcus was a colonel in the army.
The Beresfords have always been
anti-Irish Irishmen and pro-British to
the core.

proves of the first unofficial act of
John Lind after stepping out of Office
The "hero of the arnlless sleeve" has
the blood Of the Vikings coursing
warmly in his veins and he was more
than justified as a citizen of the COM
monwealth in resenting the imputa-
tion cast upon his loyalty as an Amer
lean citizen. When the war for the
independence of Cuba was proclaimed
John Lind left his family and home
and went away as quartermaster Of
| the Twelfth Minnesota Volunteers,
willing to lose his life if needs be, I'M
der the starry flag Of the land he
loves.
| When branded as TRAITOR by the
INSCRIPTIONS Dispatch he preserved
his official dignity, and simply asked
a retraction. When once more plain
citizen he determined to resent the in
suit i'll the only way left for an honor
able man when patience ceases to be
virtue. He had read Grattan's reply
| to Cory in the Irish parliament, when
the patriot declared if the government
| official only stepped outside the house
he would answer his argument "with
blow" John Lind explains his ac-
ton by saying:
"Last summer the Dispatch, at Il
time when there We're no political
questions at stake, called me traitor,
and I will whip any id man who
calls me traitor. When one becomes
so effeminate that he will not fight
when called traitor it is time for
him to sell up and get out"
The whipped cur who said he
thanked God" that John Lind was
out of office, and that no retraction
would be made to him for stigmatiz-
ing him as "a traitor" will be more
careful in future about what appears
in the Dispatch. 1t is high time that
public men should adopt such methods
with INSCRIPTIONS newspaper ghouls.
who have no regard for veracity and
spatter muddy ink indiscriminately on
the fair names of reputable citizens in

ministered to Editor Black by ex-Gov-
ernor Lind may have salutary effect

is to be regretted that the chastise-
ment inflicted upon Black was not also
inflicted on his confrercs-Thompson
and Vandiver.

Thousands of. British soldiers who
have been wounded in the South At
rican war have never seen a Boer.
They have not been able to come close
enough to see them. They felt their
bullets, however. The cavalry now
going from England will discard the
lance and carbine for the rifle and
saber. They may also discard the
bayonet, for it is practically useless on
the yeldts. The lancers have kept at
a safe distance from the Beers since
the 'pig-sticl1ing" of Dutch. prisoners
at Elandslaagte. The word went. forth
among the Beers not to give any quar-
ter to the murderers of unarmed pris-
oners.

The Duluth Herald says: In his es-
say on Oliver Cromwell, Governor
Roosevelt points out that excessive Sc
verify by a victorious party toward a
PROSTATE foe never hastens the end of
hostilities, but rather prolongs the
war. Cromwell's harshness toward the
Irish in his infamous Drogheda and
Wexford campaign furnishes the gov
ernor an excellent illustration of his
point. After all his massacres Crom-
we'll saw the Irish war drag on for
two years more. The lesson seems to
be hard to learn. There can be no
doubt one reason for the great revival
of the Boer resistance in South Africa
today is the evaporation and rage of
the Dutch over the British brutality
in "pacifying'' the two republics.
