Park City In Mourning.

N EATH from any cause brings
gloom and sadness to the home.
The sad disaster that has befal-
len Park City is one that appeals to
all citizens for sympathy. The whole
sale massacre of the best citizens COM
ing without warning as their nights
work was about completed, hangs like
a dark cloud over that prosperous
mining camp and brings sorrow to
many q happy home. The children's
cry; the mothers wall and wife's
heart-rending shrek will cause many
tear to be shed. The sister who has
lost a fond brother is plunged in
mourning; the brothers sad parting
will change the whole tenor of his
future life; the mother dazed by the
shock, cannot realize her sad fate.
The wife, with her little helpless chill
dren, thrown adrift on the world, be-
comes unconscious. Her loss is ire
parable and as she glances with
bIanched face ON the object of her love
her pitiful crys for a reunion is heart
Fending. Sympathy cannot stem the
swelling tide of misery that flows over
the souls of these deeply afflicted and
sad hearts whose brothers or husbands
were included in the great massacre.
All the rich treasures in the two mines
where the disaster occurred would not
compensate for the sorrow and grief
of one life lost by the explosion. Who
is responsible for the sad accident? Is
it necessary that an arsenal should be
buried in some dark cave, and stand
as a menace at all times against so
many lives? Is there no protection for
those who risk their lives daily in the
bowels of the earth? Away from sun
shine, delving in hard rock with death
lurking beneath their feet, the respon-
sibility should be placed where it be-
longs. Ordinary precaution is not suf-
fieient In all such cases where so
many lives are at stake there should
be extraordinary precaution. The fact
that the explosion did occur should
make it a criminal offense to store
combustible material in any mine.
Whilst there is no statute to that eff
feet, it is a warning served on mine
owners that every possible precaution
must be used to prevent a REPETITION of
Wednesday mornings sad catastrophe.
The mine owners. we are assured, are
deeply affected by the tragedy. They
are nearly all local capitalists whose
broad western views and generous
hearts will go out in sympathy for the
and orphans that are sad and
desolate. A kind word and generous
will be appreciated and re>
ceive its reward. The Intermountain
extends its coincidence to all bereaved
sufferers

Archbishop Feehan.
THE death OF Archbishop Feehan in
Chicago last S.+,,r6.,-

| THE death OF Archbishop Feehan in
! | Chicago last Saturday removes
from the Catholic heiraehy in the
United States one of the most vener-
able, prudent and distinguished pre-
lates. The event, though not unexpect-,
ed, has brought sorrow and gloom to
the great archdiocese of Chicago, where
he has labored quietly and efficiently
since 1880. The Catholic population Of
the archdiocese of Chicago is next in
numerical strength to that of New
York. The official census give Chicago
SeO,0o0, whilst in the archdiocese of
New York the Catholic population
numbers 100000 souls During the
archbishop's administration the Cath
Ole population has more than doubled
itself, whilst the number of new par
ishes erected would average half a
dozen each year. This steady growth
required a great deal of care and at
tention from the chief pastor, who by
his wisdom and transformations manner
was equal to the emergency. All ma
tfonalities were represented in his flock,
and his relations with all were the
same, namely, that of a loving father.
who knew no distinction. He aimed to
be just, and when an occasion required
severity, it was always so tempered
with mercy that he was considered on
many occasions to be over-indulgent.
But with him "the quality of mercy
was never strained, and in looking
over his long and successful labors the
marvel is that there was so little fric-
ton or difference of opinion in eccle-
siastical matters. His quiet, unassum-
ing nature shrunk from public notorie-
ty- Seldom was his name heralded in
the public press. The secIusion which
he sought and the reticence which he
practiced increased his ardent zeal for
the spiritual advancement of his flock.
He was appointed bishop of Nashville,
Tenn, in 1866. His successful admin
iStration in the south won for him the
esteem and good will of all classes, as
well as the honor of being worthy to
be promoted the first archbishop of
Chicago. Full of years spent in the
service of God, beloved, by his people |
because of a well-spent life, and vener- |
ated by all classes. his memory will be |
always cherished, and his good works !
viii stand as an enduring monument |
of his zeal and sanctity. To his sue |
cessor, whoever he may be, he leaves |
an inheritance more precious than gold, |
and that is wise administration of |
the archdiocese of Chicago. prudence |
in directing his flock, the example of a |
jealous, devout churchman and the |
love and loyalty of 100000 Catholics.

erous feelings of race, ever subjected
to prosecution and to tyranny by our
English masters, broke the bonds Of re-
strafnt, and even the most patriotic of
our sons and daughters were heard to
express sympathy, not with the gov
eminent, of which he is head. but with
the man tossing restlessly on his pillow
of pain and fighting for sheer life"
And then they tell her grievance:
While this feeling of sympathy welled
from generous Irish hearts and kindly
Irish breasts, let it be understood that
it could in no. way be attributed to
anything in the way of loyalty to, or
even good feeling toward those who,
today, as in the days of the halter, the

in vain, to rob US Of our most cherished
heirloom, our grand, inperishable, in
destructible faith, and who have al
ways endeavored to keep knit firmly
around our country's neck the CALLING
emblems of slavery and serfdom''
Poor Ireland! we misjudge you, be-
cause we do not understand, much less
realize your grievances.
Whatever may be thought or said or
may appear to the contrary, Ireland's
sorrow and expressed sympathy with
the king in his illness, we have no
doubt, was genuine and sincere. Ire
land loves her king and prizes him for
what he is as man; with him she has
no quarrel She loved him as Prince
of Wales, and in his visits to her shore
showed and proved it. He loved and
priced her, too, and took no pains to
conceal it. Has the accident of his ac-
cesslon to the English throne changed
their mutual relations? There is naught
to prove it. Aye, if all were known. if
the mask enforced by circumstances
were torn from the face of every honest
Englishman and the letters of social
slavery from every heart, none would
be found more favorably disposed to-
ward Ireland than Edward VII now. as
no more ardent supporter of w. E.
Gladstone's Home Rule bill for Ireland
was found than the then Prince of
Wales. Well might Ireland love and
revere such a man! Well might she
feel and express sympathy for Ed
ward. the man, not only in his
throes of physical pain and agony, but
for him chiefly and principally in the
mental agony and thraldom of that en-
forced social slavery which keeps a
noble spirit bondage to the whims of
Court.
