EXCITED COMMONS.
Serious Charges Against One
of WYndham's Irish
Hirelings.

Sergt. Sheridan, lately of the Irish
Constabulary but now living in Boston,
was the subject of the most exciting de-
bate of the session in the House of Com.
mons Thursday night, cables the Worlds
London correspondent. The Irish Ma.
tionalists made in their speeches these
charges:
"That when stationed in County Clare
some years ago Sheridan, conspiring with
several of his subordinate constables,
committed series of agrarian crimes,
for which they arrested and convicted by
perjured testimony innocent men in that
locality connected with the Irish Nation.
alist organization.
"That those convictions were obtained
through juries from which every Catholic
and Nationalist was excluded by the
Government prosecuting lawyers.
"That in one case alone Sheridan got
four men convicted of crimes it has since
been absolutely proved he committed
himself.
"That those four men were sentenced
TO three years penal servitude, and one
actually died in prison of broken heart.
THAT about year ago John Dillon
got information which enabled him to
compel Irish Secretary Wyndham to in
quire into the charges against Sheridan,
Wyndham promising that if the charges
we're found to be true full punishment
should be meted out to all concerned.
THAT Wyndham's inquiry fully estab-
lished the guilt of Sheridan and his
police accomplices, but Sheridan threat
ened that if the Government dared to
punish him he would expose superiors
who had connived at his deeds in order
to create prejudice against the Irish
Nationalist organizations.
"That, therefore, Sheridan was not
only allowed to leave the country, but
got a handsome contribution from the
Government Secret Service Fund to start
him on a fresh career in the United
States"
That was the case made out against the
Government of Ireland by the Irish party,
and every allegation, except that respect
ing the Secret Service money, was adj
mitted by Wyndham and his Attorney
General. The Irish party intends to re-
new the subject later, pressing for pub
lie inquiry into the whole system of sub
sidized police and criminality in Ireland.

FROM EMERALD ISLE.


Michael Kelly, of Dundalk, County
Louth, ireland, arrived in this city
Wednesday, and is the guest of his
brother, William Kelly, with the Louis
vile City Railway Company. Mr.. Kelly
is frst-class engineer, aud proposes to
make Louisville his future home. Speak
ing of the old country he declared the
war taxes imposed on Ireland as awful
high and ubiquitous. While there is
plenty of work and promise of high
wages the exorbitant rents for land in
the rural districts make it impossible for
the tenants to realize adequate returns
from their holdings. The United Irish
League, he said. was daily becoming
stronger, and the people are firm in the
belief that only through it and the
Nationalist party can Ireland secure any
laws containing any semblance of justice.
Before departing he visited the Cork
Exposition, where the exhibits of Irish
workmanship and industry are a great
surprise to foreign visitors.

BALFOUR is PREMIER.

Lord Salisbury surprised the
British public by resigning the
Premiership last Saturday, which
was announced with the King S
selection of Mr.. Balfour as Premier
to form a Ministry. Salisbury's
resignation was expected, but not
so soon. Who will constitute the
new, Ministry, what will be the
changes, if any, in the Govern
ment policy, and the effect upon
the affairs of the empire are mere
surmises thus far. That Chamber
lain and his friends are disap-
pointed, as we'll as surprised, is lily
concealed, though 1t is claimed that
he and Balfour came to an under
standing, and the Chamberlain fac
ton will not oppose the new Min
istry. The prompt resignation of
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Chamber
lain's rival, gives color to this view
of the situation. Mr.. Balfour, in
his utterances since accepting the
position is guarded and gives no
clew as to whether there will be
material changes in the personnel or
policy of the Ministry. He seems
to be feeling his way with the de-
sire to harmonic and unite his
party and the friends of the Gov
eminent.

JUST AS WE SAID.
Frank Cunningham Succeeds
to a Higher Railway
Position.

When Frank G. Cunningham left
Louisville to accept a higher position
with the Air Line railroad at st. Louis,
and shortly afterward was made City
Passenger Agent for the Louisville &
Nashville there, the Kentucky Irish
American then predicted that it would
not be long before he went still higher.
Mr.. Cunningham's many Kentucky
friends will be pleased to learn that the
prediction has come true. From trust
worthy source we learn that he has been
successful in landing the responsible and
desirable position of Western Passenger
Agent for the Louisville, Henderson &
st. Louis railway, succeeding Mr.. ]. f.
Cox, who recently resigned. The ap-
pointment becomes effective August |,
and the general Office in this city will
soon issue a circular giving this an
nouncement.
Mr.. Cunningham's previous positions
were but stepping stones to this, his first
though by no means last, official position
in the railway world. He will have en-
tire jurisdiction and charge of all the
passenger business of the company in st.
Louis and throughout the West. He
will also have much occasion to travel
and visit the various Offices throughout
its immense territory. Few young men
have brighter future before them than
Mr.. Cunningham, and the L., H. & St.
L. made no mistake in securing him for
the position. That will hereafter be the
road his friends will seek when visiting
the great St. Louis Exposition.

POSTPONED.
Last Act In the Canonization
of the Rev. Father de
Andres.

The elimination of the remains of the
Very Rev. Felix de Andres, first Vicar
General of the St. Louis diocese, which
is the last act in the local proceeding of
the canonization of Father de Andres,
has been postponed, in obedience to a
letter received from Rome. 1t was the
intention when the court OF inquiry into
the life of Father de Andres held its last
regular meeting to have the exhumation
take place last Sunday.
The letter was sent by the Promoter
General at Rome to the Very Rev. F. "
Nugent, c. NJ, President of Kenrick
Seminary, who has charge of the arrange
ments of the inquiry. 1t was regarded
that there is not sufficient time in which
to have the exhumation made, and pre-
pare a report before the departure of
Father Nugent for Rome in the early
part Of July. Father Nugent stated that
he expected the exhumation to be made
after his return from Rome next fall
He will take with him to Rome the
report of the proceedings of the court of
inquiry, which is the first step in the
canonization..
The next proceeding, which includes
the exhumation. is called the non cultus
process. 1t is expected that the new
body will be composed of the same
priests who composed the court of
inquiry. The purpose of the exhuma-
ton is to complete the chain Of evidence
in regard to all particulars obtainable of
Father de Andres, dead as we'll as alive.
1t is stated that cases are on record of
persons who we're known to have lived
holy lives being exhumed many years
after death, and the body found in a
perfect state of preservation. This is not
necessary, however, for canonization, nor
would it without other circumstances be
sufficient. 1t is taken for what it is
regarded to be worth. The sessions of
the court of inquiry were begun last
July, and the taking of testimony was
finished few weeks ago. In this time
about seventy witnesses were examined.

SEASONS BANNER EUCHRE.

The principal feature of the Cathedral
outing next Wednesday afternoon and
evening at Riverview Park will be the
two euchres arranged by Mrs. Larry
Cato and Mrs. David WEIGH. These
two popular ladies have secured for this
affair the handsomest and largest number
of prizes ever offered in Louisville. Both
games will last two hours, and unless
the players run up into the thousands
there will prizes for nearly all who enter.
Mesdames WEIGH and Cato will be as
sisted in receiving their player friends by
a number of we'll known young ladies,
who want this to be the biggest and
most successful euchre ever given in this
city. It will be long time before an
othet to equal this one will be seen.

BUYS BIG LOTS.

During the past few weeks the COM
mission men were several times surprised
at the large purchases made by Pat
Howard, the successful and enterprising
young grocer at Twelfth and Kentucky
streets. 1t was only last year that Mr..
Howard engaged in the grocery trade,
but by his gentlemanly demeanor and
strict attention to business he has built
up remarkably large trade for that
locality. His stock embraces everything
to be found in 6rst-class grocery, and
besides he has nice annex stocked with
the best brands of wet goods, cigars, etc.
Pat has a host of friends, for whom
there awaits cordial reception when

to shield the child and family from

to shield the child and family from a
blot on their reputation to mar
their future in life. If the attor-
ney's contention that such proceed
ings are illegal and void, and those
so confined should be released, our
reformatories, houses of refuge and
the like would be emptied of their
inmates and be only useful here
after as penal institutions-no
longer reformatories to save the
maynard and unprotected from
crime, but simply prisons to pun
ish those guilty of crime.
The courts, however, in this
State, and, indeed, throughout
Christendom, do not agree with
this attorneys ideas of law, and
hence there is a mode of procedure
in reform cases distinctly different
from criminal cases, and laws gov
erning wards and reformatories dis
tinctly different from those govern
ing criminals and penal institu-
tions-a distinction and difference
which this attorney does not seem to
understand, or will not concede,
especially where a convent is in
volved, the character and purpose
of which he likewise misunder-
stands.
But, after laundering as to the
law and procedure, publicly de-
nouncing the agent of the Humane
Society, Judge of the City Court,
the Board of Children's Guardians,
County Judge Gregory, slurring
the Sisters of the Good Shepherd
and their institutions for reforming
and saving the unfortunate, and
publishing to the world the dis
graceful associations of his juvenile
client, this attorney seems to have
concluded to consent to the proper
course. Parties agreed to adopt
the child. Their character being
satisfactorily vouched for to the
child's custodian, the Board of
Children's Guardians-not the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd-the
President of the Board, agent of
the Humane Society and the child's
attorney went before Judge Miller
on Wednesday, where the necessary
papers were signed, legal formal
tiles complied with and the child
turned over to her adopted parents.
This could easily have been done,
as is frequently the case, without
publicity and scandal, had her attor-
ney pursued the proper course at
the outset.

The bright dream of English
iron and steel manufacturers of a
harvest after peace in South Africa
is obscured by a cloud. Their
advance agent reports that agents
of American firms have already
covered the field, secured contracts
for large buildings at prices that
stagger the English iron masters,
and worse than all, guarantee de-
livery on the spot aud erection
complete in less time than the
English could get the iron work to
South Africa. The British Trade
Commissioners report an immense
business in steel building material
offering in South Africa and ex-
press surprise at the hardness of
the English firms, who are allow
ing the Americans to get all of it
worth having.

Young DIR. Bernard J. O'Connor, who
was graduated from the Kentucky
School of Medicine last week with the
highest honors, has been appointed in
terne at St. Anthony's Hospital. This
news will give much satisfaction to his
numerous friends. DIR. O'Connor, who
is the son of the late lamented James
O'Connor. for years the leading coal
merchant of Louisville, is also a gradu-
ate of St. Mary's College, where he re-
ceived the degree of M. A. The medical

SUCCESSFUL YOUNG ATTORNEY.

success in Washington. Mr.. McDonogh
left Louisville for Texas in January, but
after a months travel in the West re-
turned to Washington, D. c., where he
opened an Office for himself. His most
important case from legal standpoint
was. that of United States VS.. Robert
West, who was arrested on a charge of
house-breaking. Mr.. McDonogh worked

The Cincinnati Traction Com

spend the night at strange lodg-
ing house TO which the men take
them, where they are found and
taken in charge by the police; and
when the widowed mother can not
or will not prevent such roaming
by her twin daughters, indeed, does
not consider such conduct as way
ward, it strikes us that it is time
for the proper authorities to deprive
even a widowed mother of the con-
troll of her twin daughters and
place them somewhere that their
liberty may be restrained for their
own future well-being. With the
foregoing facts admitted, the order
of Judge sending those girls to an
institution, despite the protest and
entreaty OF the widowed mother, II
not commended, at least should not
be condemned, pending an appeal
by the widowed mother in habeas
corpus proceedings, had the Judge
not ordered the girls "imnured in
convent" Horrors! And this
in free country and the enlight-
ened Twentieth century!

Never has a more deplorable
tragedy occurred in Louisville than
that in which Robert Murphy lost
his life at the hands of John Leis-
ter, bringing grief and shame to
two families and many relatives and
friends. The unfortunate victim
was popular young man, ex-
in his habits, while his
slayer was regarded as inoffensive
by those who knew him best. This
lamentable affair should prove a
warning to young men-wbo should
never carry deadly weapons or drink
to excess, lest they, too, should
cause shame to their relatives and
sorrow to their friends.

Mr.. Dillon got the best of the
debate with Secretary Wyndham
on Irish conditions in the House of
Commons. Backed by records and
official reports of the absence of
crime in Ireland, Dillon held
Wyndham to task and asked why
the Crimes Act and coercion were
being enforced, people arrested and
jailed, the constabulary patrolling
the highways, menacing the peace,
in districts where the court records
show there has been no crime for
months. Mr.. Wyndham's reply
was evasive, indicating he was TN
prepared for such direct queries,
and without attempting denial of
Dillon's charges against the con-
stabulary acts, he pleaded time,
promising to give the matter his
serious consideration.
