In what respects, let us ask, were

what is set forth in this document? In
our view the sort of government that
King George was willing to concede to
the COLONIES" was much nearer justice
and freedom than the system here or
dered by President Mckinley and Eli
HUI Root. If history do not mark this
action Of these men-the present United
States administration-as tyranny,
then the judgment Of history on King
George III. in respect to his conduct
toward America ought to be reversed.

abundance Of crops in Nebraska. What
does he mean? 1t was said during the
campaign Of 1900 that Mr.. Bryan was
getting rich by an abundant crop Of
oats which he sold at high price.
Perhaps more farmers began the cult
Walton Of oats this year, and that the
supply may exceed the demand. In
that case only could the abundance of
crops injure Bryan in pocket. But
Thurston may credit the Republicans
with producing bountiful crops in Ne

consequence.

bishop and his attendants on their az

them to the episcopal residence, an
humble structure in keeping with the
huts that then abounded in the village.

THE cREr1N cELEbRArIor.

The greatest event in the history Of
Catholicism i'm the Northwest was cele-
brated last Tuesday and Wednesday at
st. Paul Seminary, Groveland Park.
Fifty years ago on July 2, Bishop JOS
eph Cretin arrived in Minnesota's CAPT.
tai when it was mere village, and be-
came first bishop of this diocese. Ten
years before his arrival, Father Lucien
Galtier, countryman of his, built the
first house of worship in the Northwest
and called it after the great apostle of
the gentiles.
1t is after the name of the humble
edifice dedicated to the services of AL
mighty God that the city of st. Paul
was called by the first settlers. Like
Tarsus, the birthplace Of Paul the
apostle, the capital of Minnesota today
Is mo mean city," and it is proud of
the name it received from the little log
church erected by the French priest
on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
sixty years ago.
When Bishop Cretin arrived in st.
Paul half century ago he found only
two other little churches in the entire
Northwest. One was at Mendoza, the
Oldest town in Minnesota, at the conflu-
ence Of the Mississippi and Minnesota
rivers, where Fort Smelling was erected
by the government; and the other was
ut Pembina, in the Red river valley,
close to the Canadian line. There were
only two priests for the three churches,
both Of whom are yet living-Father
Ravoux and Father Lacombe-and both
OF whom were present at the semi-cen-
tennfal celebration Of Bishop Cretin's
entry into st. Paul.
Bishop Cretin was 81 years old when
he entered upon his episcopal duties
A native of Monteluel, France, he had
been ordained a priest at the age Of "a.
His first pastorate was at Ferney, a
place which was the home at one time
of Voltaire, not far from Geneva. Fa-
ther Cretin's first service in America
was among the Winnebago Indians in
