Ignatius A. Sullivan, a dry goods
| clerk. member of trades union and
president OF the Connecticut branch of
the American Federation of Labor, was
elected mayor of Hartford on Tuesday
last. this making the third labor candi-
date elected to the mayoralty in that
state. In his inaugural address the
new mayor said: 1T is teaching of
our league as workingmen 10 be cour-
teous to all men, to comport ourselves
as the Christian virtues exact. We
wish TO respect all men and TO respect
the property rights of every one. 1t
makes no difference to us whether
man is a union man or not. Is he de-
serving? That is the only rule we shall
apply" If these are the principles
which Mr.. Sullivan as mayor will rec
cgnize then Hartford is fortunate. It
has, all other things being equal, elect
ed the right man. 1t is to be hoped that
he will be able to carry out his pro-
gramme, and that at the close of his
term he will receive something more
than credit for good intentions. 1t will
be a strange thing if no pull is use
full in securing the attention of the
new mayor. His administration will be
watched with much interest. 1t may
be that an industrial millennium is
da wning in the Land of steady hab-

In reference to an assertion of a
Protestant Irish church" missionary
that he had been prosecuted by the
Roman Catholics of Limerick" Pro-
testant resident of that town, Mr.. Rob
ert Gibson, writing in reply to an in
curry from a friend in England, says:
II have lived for fifty-eight years
among the Catholics of the south OF
Ireland. where we are in a minority of
about one Protestant to forty Roman
Catholics. l am we'll known as being
a Protestant and a Freemason, yet L
have never been prosecuted, insulted
or annoyed about my creed by the
section of my fellow countrymen who
are supposed by those who don't know
them, to be base. bloody and brutal
Papists, nor by the 'tyrant priests
The more I know of my Roman Catho-
lis countrynlen and women the more l
learn TO esteem and respect them. If
the Irish Church Missionary society
want work, let them work among their
own. .sects. If they want Irish Roman
Catholics made Christian men and
women, as they say, let them sub
scribe to the Christian Brothers, or to
ST. Ita's house Catholic institutions),
where boys and girls are taught to be
not only Christians, but useful men
ana women. The Christian brothers
work and the st. Ita's house work is
more truly Christian work done in
Christian spirit, and does more real
good in a year than all the work of the
that ever tried to pervert
their fellow Christians who differed
from them in matters of doctrine

Neither religious sentiment nor preju-

unfair for our cotemporary to mention
such reason for the assumed slight to

Through congressional enactment the
custom Of the department has been fol-
lowed from the start of the new navy
by naming battleships after states of

cipal cities. Can the Church Progress
mention any first-class vessel in our
navy named after General Washington?

ASKED ABOUT REPORT
MAJOR HUNTER MUST SAY IF HE
CRITICISED GEN. sHAFTER.
Published Interview Represents Max
ing DerOsatOry Remarks of the
Commander Mt Santiago.

The Secretary of War has called on Maj
George K. Hunter, 18th Cavalry, for re-
port as to the truth of statements pub
lished in dispatches from st. Louis in which
he is represented as making certain derog-
atory criticisms of Gen. Shafter as the
| commanding officer of the army at Santf-
ago, as well as rejecting generally upon
the military establishment. The remarks
attributed to Maj. Hunter are alleged to
have been made during an entertainment
at the Contemporary Club in st. Louis
According to the published story. Major
Hunter in the course Of his remarks said:
West Point should be burned, as we have
a system of running our military affairs by
politics. which renders West Point men and
the training of that institution unservice-
able. At Tampa the whole management OF
affairs was so tainted with politics as to
render efficiency impossible. Shafter and
other high officials sat about the piazzas
and hotel bars, unable to relieve the stu
alton.
I'm Cuba Roosevelt's Rough Riders
shouted a the wrong place and had to be
showed into line by two regiments of reg
ulars.. The trouble with us in the late
war was that there were too many soda
water colonies.
In subsequent interview he is said to
have remarked: Yes. 1 did say that Cen
mopped sweat from his brow. All army
officers know it to be true. 1t Is history
and why print it now? Yes, L also ap-
proved the majority of criticisms made by
Mr.. Bigelow:
cit is a fact that the military arm of the
natonsneeds improvement, both as to COM
missioned and on-commissioned officers.
The time of service for the latter is too
short and their pay too little. Then in ac-
ton there is disposition on the part of
the officers to plead with the men instead
of giving them orders. What has crippled
is h.
shown in appointments to West Point and
to other positions in the army. Again. too
many uneducated men are given COM
mands."
Maj. Hunter is a native of Ohio and
graduated at the Military Academy in the
class of June, 1877

LONDON, February S.-A dispatch to the

the firmly rooted belief in influential cir

that the advocates of constitutional meth
DDS are slowly but surely giving way to the

fore the Junior Constitutional Club. leads
people to hope that the government has at
last learned the lesson that home rule cam
not be killed with Kindness and that the
ministry has become aware of the terrible
havoc being worked by the league through
out Ireland"
The correspondent adds: "Irishmen who
have just returned from the United States
aver that no support will be given to the
disloyai cause unless the discussions and
scenes in parliament give place to some
thing more active in Ireland itself. The
American end of the campaign is being run
by men who are all of the same stamp as
Finerty, who recommends dynamite and
rifles. Young Ireland is being taught to be-
lieve in the coming storm and to openly
speak thereof with enthusiasm. The policy
of Kindness has convinced the peasantry
that the reign of the British is almost at
an end, and in truth the British statute
book Is already suspended, and the court
or the league is supreme"

Want. Water Main Extended.

: r. b. Buckley OF Anaoostia has written
to the District Commissioners requesting
the extension Of water main to serve his
property in Jefferson street. The superin-
tendent of the water department, Mr. w.
A. Mcfarland. holds that such extension
would necessitate the laying Of 1.095 feet
of six-inch water main. The premises can
not be served by the present pumping SER
vice unless the pressure is increased. Mr.
Buckley informed Mr.. Mcfarland that the
Improvement asked was not desired espe-
cially for his property but for the general
Improvement Of Jefferson street The wa
ter pressure Is insufficient to deliver water
at the upper end Of the street and sewers
are not available FOR the greater part of the
distance. Under these circumstances the
recommendation Is made that the extension
be not made at the present time.
