NJ. Jules Huret. who has been travel
ing through tho United States for the
purpose of writing his conclusions
about the people of the United States
for Il Paris publication. is of the
opinion that New Orleans is by all
odds the finest city in the United
States. He says:

animated uuays. it's blue heavens. its
radiant sun. and the number of laugh

so many races.
New Orleans is Il mixture of IL Spain

ly influenced no doubt by the fact
that there are more French i'll New
Orleans than any other American city.
The brother of the German Emperor
thought Milwaukee had the best peo-
pie of any American city. No doubt
the Irish emigrant finds the people of
New York, Boston and Chicago con-
genial. Perhaps if we could persuade
some Swedish writer to visit Mime

of Minneapolis.

HONEST ATHLETICS.

The immense hold which the game
of football has upon the public is
due primarily to the fact that foot
ball as now played in the United
States is honest sport. 1t is free from
the mercenary considerations which
prevail in the Infringement of some
other sports such as baseball. Peo-
pie know that IL foot -hall contest rep
rcscnts the hardest efforts of the con-
testants. They know that the play
crs receive no compensation and that
the only reward is the honor which
victory brings. \ football game be-
tween two such institutions as Mime
sofa and Michigan universities crentcs
Il healthy rivalry. not only between
the men engaged in playing the game,
but between the seven or eight thou
sand students of the institutions.
Football is popular because the con-
tcstantS are all amateurs selected from
the students of the institution which
they represent. 1t will always be pop
ular if maintained as an amateur
sport. Too much StrictnrSS cannot be
employed in keeping out all persons
who are not bOnl-tide students. 1t
would never do to allow men to enter
their names as students of an inStitu-
ton for the sole purpose of playing
football. The public is well satisfied
that the efforts of the faculties of the
different colleges to maintain purely
amateur athletics. are honest. and in
the main. successful efforts. Because
it is an honest sport it has IL good
effect upon players and spectators.
No weakling in body or mind can ever
become IL successful football player.
Neither can IL young man of bad Mab-
its hope to succeed ut the game. The
rivalry created between members of
the same college for a place upon the
team is a healthy one. because every
one knows that the best man will
succeed. The reputation of coaches
and the honor of the institution will
allow of no other result The public
likes football because it knows that
manipulators and gamblers cannot fix
results. TO he sure. there is Il great
deal of betting on the results of foot
ball games. But football betting Is
honest betting. so far as betting can
be honest. No such scandals have
ever been connected with football
such as is often found in connection
with the race course. 1t requires
severe methods at times to maintain
honest athletics. but it is worth the
effort. College athletics can he kept
pure because the faculties OF the dit
ferent schools have complete control

the responsibility of a joint canvass

is not so strong us it might be. 1t is,
indeed, as is also that of the Dem

would rejoice to see the weakness of

from the roll of employees in the treas

he has held Il good position for Il long

President Roosevet's interference in

But stronger than words of even
those distinguished n-Catholics is
the fervent prayer which ascends to
heaven for Father Mathew from as
many grateful hearts which have been
purified and ennobled by the preach
ing of total abstinence, by which lives
have been changed from sin to virtue
and home made an earthly paradise.
The characteristics of Father Math-
ew's life. says DIR. Conaty, were
the benevolence. disinterestedness and
self sacrtice-in one word, his life
was that of Il priest of Sod guided by
purest Christian charity. Like our
Saviour, whose humble minister he
was. he went about doing good. By
the pledge he crystallizcd the Chris
tan idea of self denial. He found
humanity by the roadside suffering,
and like a good Samaritan he set to
work to relieve it's wants. He found
in mankind one of the greatest evils
to be drunkenness. from which pau
perism and crime sprang. and he
labored to diminish it by attacking the
source. lie found the mighty dragon
traffic devourin% souls. and he crap
pied With it to break its hold on So
ciety and if possible destroy it.
This was his mission. this the idea
of his life How we'll he fulfilled his
mission whole nations have attested.
How strong he impressed his idea
upon his age the worldwide reverence
for his name loudly proclaims. So
cictieS in his name and under his in
tiuInce. unions have organized in eff
forts against incompetence, hundreds
of thousands of total ahStainers
awakened to the danger of the evil
of intelmperancc. the movement of tot
Ill abstinence under the guidance of
tile highest dignitarics of the church
and state. all these more eXultantly
than words of speaker carry to history

In Massachusetts state officers are
elected every year. The campaign is
more spirited in that state this year
than it has been for years. Not since
the death Of the brilliant young Dem
ocratic leader William E. Russell has
there been so much hope for Dem
ocratic success. The city of Boston
is certain to increase its Democratic
majority of 1900 given !; year ago
to between 10000 and 10000. The
Democrats have nominated William
\. CASTOR for governor and Richard
Olney nephew of the former secrc-
tary of state, for lieutenant governor.
CASTOR is Il brilliant lawyer and able
leader. He is the son of the only
Democratic governor Massachusetts
had from the time of the war 10 the
election of General Butler The
chances are that the Republicans will
carry the state, but by greatly reduced
majorities.
The Republicans are making Il de-
terminel effort to carry kentucky.
They have nominated as their cunui-
date for governor Morris Bcllinap IL
wealthy merchant of Louisville. He
is the son-in-law OF General Buckner,
who was the candidate of the gold
democrats for vice-preSiuent in 1896.
Bucllner and IL few gold Democrats
are supporting the Republican cun-
didate but Kentucky will remain Dem
ocratic. The people of Kentucky have
not forgotten Goebcrs assassination
and the further fact that Il Republican
leader accused of completely in that
murder is now Il fugitive from justice
harbored and protected by the Eepub-
lican governor of Il ncighboring state.
Rhode Island presents an intcrcstin"
situation. In recent years the DEM
ocrats have been making areat gains
i'll that state. Last year they elected
Governor Garvin by Il majority OF
900 and elected one member of con-
SrcsS. Representative Granger. Rhode
Island has become Il doubtful state
through the growth OF the city of
Providence. The issue in that state
this year is largely one of supporting
or rejecting Senator Aldrich. lie
dominates Republican, politics in that
state, although the legislature elected
this year will not elect Aldrich sue
cessor, the one elected next year will,
and the fight on Aldrich has already
commenced
In New York City the Republicans
are supporting IL fusion ticket and
loudly claiming that no question of
politics is involved IN the election. The
Democrats are asserting that the fight
is Il straight fight between Democrats
and Republicans. III they can con-
vince the public of this fact the cleo
ton of Mcclellan is assured. The
situation is extremely mixed and no
one can tell what the result will be.
