Wisdom exceeds strength.
Wine is sweet; to pay for it bitter,
Sleep is the image of death.
Enough is feast.
Present good is better than past
good.
Satire wounds great character.
Death is the physician Of the poor.
Every tlatterer is not friend.
There is no nobility without virtue.
Never too old to learn wisdom.
There is no one without fault.
Gold is the idol of the covetous,
That weather is bad which is not
good for some person.
An ignorant king is a crowned ass.
Wisdom exceeds riches.
An empty vessel makes most noise.
Wine pours out the truth.
Sunshine follows rain.
From education comes conduct.
A good beginning is half the work.
Wine to-day; water tomorrow.
1t will be seen from these literal
TRANSACTIONS the extent to which many
commonly used English proverbs owe
their origin to the ancient Irish.

THE CATHOLIC PRIEST
A Friend When All the World is
Found Wanting.

No hour of the night is sacred to his
repose. No message is inopportune
No avocation forbids his immediate
attendance at the sick bed. No gain
or profit can divert his feet from the
way which leads to the dying couch,
says the Catholic Transcript. He is
the friend when all the world is found
empty and 1eeting. The man of faith
will not quit this life without this alb
solution. His own sacerdotal heart
will not suffer him to withhold his
benediction. Dying sinners fear his
approach, but they kiss his hand as
it is lowered after absolution. They
bless him as he recedes from their
repentant couch. They count the hours
till his temperance, and weep with
joy that he does not abandon them
In the supreme moment. Nevertheless,
happy, thrice happy. they who delay
not the day Of his visitation till death
is near.
If the priest is intrusted with power
from on high it is not for himself
but for the people. Those who refuse
to draw water from this we'll Of life
have eaten from the insane root which
leads the reason captive and makes
the life of the unfortunate recusant
living spiritual suicide. The priest is
set apart for the people. If they do
not realize his benefcent mission let
them know that God has placed
among them fountain of living water
from which they must drink or forfeit
what is sweetest and most salutary in
this world.
II the staggering infidel sets the
priest in category by himself, it is
primarily because God Himself has
wrought the separation, a separation
which only His wisdom, His mercy
and His power could devise and oper-
ate. The life of the priest is life
of miracles and all miracles are from
God. The age of overt miracles is in
deed past. But the secret wonders
wrought by the absolving and conse-
Grating power of the priest are I'M
known to the unbelieving world. They
are little known to the faithful and
to himself. They are realized no.
where outside of heaven and hell. The
angels look on with wonder and
thanksgiving. The demons look on in
impotent rage.

>. FAST DYING OUT
Major Mclaughlin Predicts Extinc-
tion of Red Man.


1--WE just come from trip among
the Turtle mountain Indians, which is
right adjoining the Canadian borders,
said Major Mclaughlin to a Globe
reporter while on visit to st. Paul
last week. Indeed, there are Indians
OF that name on each side Of the line.
While there, and when my work was
just about finished, received orders
to proceed to st. Paul and await in
structions as to my next work. I was
certain that it would be all cut and
dried for me to go to Arizona, among
the Cheyennes and Navajos, but I'm
now rather of the opinion that will
be told to go up to the Red lake region
to endeayor to get from the Indians of
that reservation a ratification Of the
measure passed by congress at the
last session, which, if ratified will
open up to the white settlers 256,OOO
acres Of the reservation, still leaving
ample land for the Indian.
"How is it that the government
would lay aside so much for the In
dams and then take part of it away
from them? Well, it was not consid-
cred too much for them when given to
them, but the years have created such
havoc among them, so decreased their
numbers that it is plainly seen that it
is but matter of few years until
there will be no Indians to speak of, at
laest that's the way look at it, and
speak as one who has spent thirty
two steady years among them.
I'm quite certain that 1 will first go
to Red Lake and then to Arizona.
Last year, at just about this time, 1
made the entire circuit of the Indian
country in two months. From here 1
went to Oklahoma, then to Arizona
and New Mexico, from there to Cali
fornia, up the coast to Oregon and
Washington, and home through Idaho,
Montana and the Dakotas. Yes, 1 like
the work, indeed, it's about the only

N WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Situation In France as Viewed
By q Correspondent.


1t would seem that the French gov
eminent was having it's own way with
the religious orders, and at present #
unquestionably has. At the same time
1t must be noted that their maiorities
IN parliament are not as large as they
We're a few years ago, and that they
are becoming gradually smaller. This
may be the reason why the govern
ment IS hurrying its hostile measures
against the orders. The French peo.
pie are proverbially tickle, and the
turning point in affairs may be at
hand at any moment. 1t is certain
that the government has gone to the
limit. The abrogation of the Con-
cordat would be Of no benefit to If and
would please no one except the rabble
Oh the large cities. The present situa-
ZION is very peculiar. By the expul-
sion OF the congregations the govern
ment has really overstepped the
bounds of prudence, it has gone too
far in its efforts to please the OK
tremists, and even now indications
point to reaction among the people,
what this reaction will amount to in
France is difficult to predict. In anv
other country the result could be fore
told to nicely.
The French people are Catholic to
the core, and as whole are devoted
to the Church. This last crownine in
fanny on the part Of their government
has cut them to the quick, But why
are they silent, why inactive, when
such course gives the enemies Of the
Church encouragement to 60 on with
their prosecutions? 1t is not necessary
TO go far for an answer. The people
need Windhorst, leader. The
French clergy have the confidence of
the people in spiritual matters, be-
cause they are deeply religious body
of men and have given the people re-
peated proofs OF their devotion to their
interests. On the other hand, the
French people are devoted to the re-
public and will tolerate nothing that
even squints toward a monarchy. The
French clergy, by it's stupid conserva-
tism and pertinacious adherence to the
cause Of the kings, has not alone lost
for itself the natural and inherent
leadership of the people, but has
placed into the hands Of the enemies
of the Church the most powerful
weapon that could be used against it,
the fear Of return of the kings, in
case the clerical party We're sustained
at the polls. The fact is, there is nO
leader no man towering above the
rest, to lead the French people out of
the wilderness. So long as this leader
is wanting the people will be inactive
because they will be helpless. Even
the advice Of the holy father had nc
effect for there was 10 one to take
it up and act upon it.
Altogether, the situation is most dis
tressing, with 10 relief in sight. 1t is
true that there are signs of reaction
| What else could be expected under
the circumstances? But what good is
the spark, when there is not one tc
fan it into flame. with tongues long
enough to reach the conspirators? TIT
situation demands Il Windhorst ant
until he appears there is no hope.

OLD IRISH PROVERBS.
Modern Sayings Come from the An.
Gent hailesian Maxims.


1t is no new assertion that the an
Gent kings, Brehons and Fileas, Of the
NIilesian Irish, We're men of great in
telligence and wisdom, and that the
sayings of "Allamh foehla," Fethil the
Wise, Moran and Cormac MacArt were
so many terse lessons of human wis
dom; but it may be information to the
majority of the Irish public of the
present day to state that many of our
proverbs in present use are nearly
paraphrases Of the old Milesian say
ings. Annexed we give list Of genu-
inc Irish proverbs, principally trans
lated, and literally from Hardman's
Irish Minstrelsy, which will show the
similarity between them and modern
English proverbs:
The rare jewel is the most priced.
A blind man is 10 Judge Of colors.
When the cat is out the mice dance.
Even fool has luck.
A mouth Of ivy, heart of holly.
The historians food is truth.
Fierceness is often hidden under
beauty.
There is often anger in Il laugh.
A good dress often hides deceiver.
Fame is more lasting than life.
"A foolish word is folly.
The church that has no music is
poor indeed.
Lay up In time.
Mild to the meek.
Cat after kind.
Force overcomes justice.
Hope consoles the prosecuted.
The satisfied forget the hungry.
IOEg sleep renders child inert.
Hurry without haste.
Drunkenness is tbs brother of rob-
berry.
Hope is the physician OF each mis-
cry.
1t is difficult to tame the proud.
Idleness is the desire of fool.
LAWN peloie you reap.
The end Of feast is better than the
beginning Of quarrel.
A wren in the hand is better than a
crane out of it.
He who is out. his supper cools.
The memory Of an old child Is long.
Everything is revealed by time.
A cat can look at king.
Patience is the cure Of an inveterat>
disease.
Learning is the desire Of the wise.
Character is better than wealth.
Without treasure, without friends.
"A hungry man is angry.
No man is wise at all tunes.
Every dear article is woman's dc
sire.

CERTAINLY.

"Are you candidate for Rep
resentativeg" is a question being
asked from all parts of the coun-
ty, and in order to satisfy all en-
quiring minds, I here now answer,
"Yes!" One among the noblest
young men in Lincoln county liv-
ing in beat 2, writes me as fol-
lows:
II have been solicited to run
for Representative, but if you
are in the race, will do all in my
power for your election. ;"
This is a fine hearing from this
noble young man, and were he to
enter the race now it would be a
difficult matter for me to get my
consent to defeat him. However,
l have no monopoly on the office
of candidate" The horse that
has his head in the. trough al
ready, has decidedly the advan-
tage of all the other horses, be-
cause he can eat and kick all at
the same time. AS far as the
office of Representative is concern
ed, if any man has his head in the
trough, | know not of it. But,
as many people in our county
know, | have been hankering
around for four years. 1t mat
ters not who my opponents may
be, as far as / am concerned, the
race shall be a clean one. May
God grant that this sentiment
may control the actions of all the
candidates for the various offices
throughout the county and State.
Let the mud-slinger and the man
with bloated face, thick tongue
and tangled leg be relocated to
the rear. Let him ''go away
back and sit down." As far as
my qualifications to fill the office
for which | seek are concerned,
l am willing for the sovereign
voters of Lincoln county to be
the judges in the matter. As far
as my literary qualifications are
concerned, l will say that l am a
full fedged graduate from two
great institutions of learning. I
graduated first in the great
School of Experience; after which
| took thorough course in the
University of Necessity. | am a
Democrat. Have never been any
thing else but a Democrat; but l
have never been a stick the
nominee-if-he' s-a-y ellowdog, kind
of a Democrat. Like Mallard's
ram, | always butt with my own

hibition and if | am defeated on

not be satisfactory, that's all.

las. A. White.

A telegraphic dispatch in the
Post a few days ago announced
the fact that J. A. White, form
er citizen of Edna, had shot and
killed a man at Cordell, Oklaho-
ma, created quite an anxiety
among his many friends. No
better, more honorable, or upright
gentleman ever lived in jackson
county, or was more universally
respected than Mr.. White, and it
is deeply regretted that he was
forced to commit this act. Mr..
White was elected Justice of the
Peace for Edna precinct in Jack
son county, and two years after
the people were so we'll pleased
with his official acts that they
chose him for their prosecuting
attorney, which position he most
acceptably filled, discharging his
duty without fear, and with credit
to himself and the people as a
whole. Mr.. White is talented
young lawyer, and very able
writer. He resigned bis position
here as prosecuting attorney and
left for the prosperous Territory
country to engage in journalism
taking with him the kindliest
feelings and best wishes of every
good citizen of Jackson county,

White capper Arrested in Jefferson,

jackson, Jan. 16. That the
citizens of Jefferson county are
determined to suppress whitecap-
ping is evidenced by the arrest of
Eugene Brown, a white farmer of
that county, last week on the
charge of whitecapping. Brown
has had a preliminary examina
ton and was placed under a bond
of 1900 to appear before the
grand jury to answer to the
charge. After the trial of Brown,
a mass meeting of the citizens OF
the neighborhood was called and
strong resolutions we're adopted
condemning the policy Of the
Whitecappers in driving away
labor. Labor agents were also
warned against entering the
county and interfering with the
negoes. The resolutions adopted
were signed by 500 of the most
prominent citizens Of the county.
