TRIBUTE TO A BELOVED PRIEST.

In the editorial columns of the Du-
luth News Tribune of Saturday, Feb.
%. the following beautiful tribute to
the memory of Rev. Henry McGolricll
appeared under the heading of "a
Scholar Dead,' from the pen of Miss
Mary McFadden:
Rev. Father Henry McGolricl is no
more, and the friends who knew and
revcred that gentle scholar and saint
ly priest feel Il keen sorrow in his
death. To-day all that is mortal of
Father McGolrick will be laid away,

lie gave all the years of his manhood

Duluthians will deeply sympathiz
with his bereaved brother. Bishop Nc
Golrick. Archbishop John Ireland,
Bishop Stanley, Bishop Keane and
Bishop Cotter are mourners at his
funeral. Another brother. Father
William McGolrick, and two sisters,
nuns of the order of st. Joseph, who
were with him during his illness, will
be present at the burial
The family of which Father Henry
McGolrick was Il member has given
five children to the service of the
church.

an, and man of such splendid char
ity that he would leave himself desti-
tute of comforts and necessities, to
give to those in need. He was modest
to the last degree, and of IL retiring
disposition.
1t was Il delight to talk with him
upon any subject of current or histor
ical interest. His discourse was ever
instructive and entertaining, but one
had to seek him out to know the fine
beauty of his heart and intellect.
He was linguist, and Il deep stu
dent His charity was broad and UNI
failing. 1t was not his manner to
preach at those whom he would help.
but to reach the heart by Il sincere
human sympathy with all the ills of
soul and mind and body. His knowl-
edge of men was cOmprehenSive-and
he loved his race, and served it all his
life.
Small wonder that the favored ones
who knew him should be heavy-heart-
ed at his death.

Much has been done and much has

Much has been done and much has
been won. But the battle is not over
1T is not nearly over. The accumu-
lated wrongs of seven centuries could
not be redressed in less than five
years. Next week or the week after
may show that we have advanced fur
ther within the past half decade than
the most sanguine enthusiast during
the last century hoped to see in Ire
lands position during his lifetime.
The centenary year of the murder of
Robert Emmett may see the emancipa-
ton of the Irish nation from the yoke
of Cromwellian landlordism-a revolr-
ton which the late Sir Charles Gavan
Duffy no more dreamt of than of
booming England to the fate of Allan
tbs when he and the Tenant Fighters
of the 'Fifties formed the League of
North and South. Sadleir and Keogh
killed the movement of fifty years ago.
United Ireland squelched the gentry
whose claim to apostolic succession"
from the Brass Band all the country
recognizes and acknowledges. Conse-
quently, the King of England prom
ises on behalf of the English parlia-
ment and ministry bill ito complete
the series of measures which have al
ready done much to substitute single
ownership for the costly and unsatis-
factory conditions still attached to
tenure of agricultural land over Il
large portion of Ireland"
What this phrase may mean in the
minds of those who coined it cannot
now be long concealed. Whatever
may happen, the Irish people must
not lay down n single weapon or open
Il single chink of their armor. They
have shown beyond yea or nay, and in
a fashion which no man dares ques-
ton, that they trust their leaders who
are in the battles van. Their con-
tidence has been justified, and will be
until the end But now, as in the past,
their main reliance must be placed
upon their own power rs an organized
and united nation. Keep your powder
dry!

KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY.

For the hundreth time in the course
of the unparalleled history of the re-
lations between Ireland and England,
both nations have again arrived ut Il
parting of the ways" says the Dub
lin Irish People.
Many and many a great OppOrtun-
ity of making the position Of affairs
endurable, or, at least, tolerable, was
wickedly and foolishly thrown away.
Often the English scorned to avail of
splendid chances of Cancellation. And
very often our own people missed
their opportunities of effecting "a final
settlement" by allowing the English
to remain in the island when these
could have been expelled once and
for all. Now, we have again arrived
ut crisis Of tremendous Importance.
Out of such crises good has often
nearly always-come for us-always.
when our own efforts have been re-
sponsible for the creation of positions
which our rulers found intolerable and
impossible.
When Ireland was wearied and
heart-sore after nigh ten years of
agonzing dissensions-when honest
men could have compared the coun-
try to "a corpse on the dissecting
table" more truly than when Gavan
Duffy used the historic phrase nearly
fifty years ago-the United Irish
League was called into existence.
Slowly. patiently. untiringly, ever
moving UPWARDS and capturing kopic
after kopje despite the bitter opposi-
ton and base. malignant treachery of
open foes and the more pitiful and
shameful poltroonery of many who
would figure as friends in fair weather
while carefully avoiding either danger
or responsibility. the leaders of tho
movement carried on their campaign
and at last brought solid, organized.
and re-inspirited nation into the fight
ing line.

The Chicago Tribune sensibly re-
marks: If the United States is to
have insular dependencies like the
Philippines, it must govern them with
some regard to their welfare. 1t must
not sacrifice their material interests
i'll order to avoid changing few fig
ures in a tariff law. Congress has APP
propriated $3,O00,OO0 to meet immed-
late needs in famine stricken districts
i'll Luzon. Gifts of this kind relieve
suffering, and may also pauperize the
sufferers. A better gift will be the
gift of lower duties, which will make
it profitable for the Filipinos to work
and enable them to become self-sup-
porting.

a man who wants fair play for the
Eegoes, but in our opinion he is acting
injudiciously in making appointments
Of colored men in the South against
the protests of the whites. He has
excited the whole South and widened
the chasm that separates whites and
blacks instead of bridging it. He says
that 1.-The door of hope and opportunity
must not be closed against any man
OH account of his color; therefore,
negroes must be given Office" Well,
why not give them office in the North
as we'll as in the South? We are not
aware that the hero of San Juan,
whose command was saved by the
gallantry of Il black regiment IN Cuba,
has done anything for the negroes in
the North. They are as worthy of
recognition as the negroes of the
South. Boston, for instance, has Il
custom house as we'll as Charleston.
In order to assert the equality of the
whites and blacks of the Hub, why
does he not select Il black man for
collector of that port? Why not APP
point Attorney Morris, of Minneapo-
lis, for minister to Liberia, instead of
going to the South for colored man?
President Roosevelt is Il politician. He
is not statesman. The negroes are
numerous in the South when COM
pared with the whites. In the North
it is otherwise. Many negroes from
the South will be delegates to the ma
tional Republican convention next
year. Few negroes from the North
will have any voice at that gathering.
Is it possible that Theodore Roose-
velt's sOlicitude for the welfare of the
negroes springs from selfish motives?
Perish the thought! If he keeps up
an agitation of the race question many
will think he is after negro votes for
his nomination..

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

The negro problem is not yet solved
i'll the South if half of what Senator
Tillman said in his speech in Congress
the other day is true. The whites of
the South are excited over the recent
utterances of President Roosevelt who
seems to take delight in arousing the
nntngonsm of Southern Democrats by
his appointment of blacks to positions
that could be as we'll filled by the
whites. No matter what the whites
of the North may think of the negro
question, there is no doubt but that
the whites of the South entertain diff
fcrent views and are determined to OPP
pose the social equality of the races.
y lot of prejudice and hate exists
among the Southern people against the
citizens of African descent. The
sooner these prejudiceS die out the
better for the whites and blacks. The
CaucnSinns must realize that the black
man is among them to stay. In fact,
they cannot very well get along with
out him. 1t is therefore the part of
wisdom for the two races living to-
gether in the South to adopt some mo-
dus vivcndu on terms that will make
the negroes self-respecting. 1t will
not do for the whites to proclaim
on every occasion that the blacks are
inferior to them mentally, physically
and socially. 1t is their duty to ele-
vate them by education and make
them thrifty and prosperous members
of the body polite. After two hum
drcd and fifty years of slavery, the
black man cannot be expected to be-
come Il model citizen in one genera
ton. He requires every encourage
ment from those who had kept him in
enforced ignorance and servitude.
Every sensible American now be-
lieves that Lincoln was right in
emancipating the negro, but the
majority of thinking men believe that
the fifteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States which
took effect Oh March 30, 1870, was
too premature. ",rhe right of citi-
zells of the United States to.yote shall
not be denied or abridged by the
United States, or by any state, OH
account of race, color or previous con-
dition of servitude" Theoretically,
that is all right, but practically it
does not work satisfactorily where
the color line is drawn. Some of the
Southern states have nullitied that
amendment and DISTINGUISHED the ne
gro upon one preteXt or another.
Where the colored voters are numeri-
cally in the majority, they are often
inundated from exercising the right
Of suffrage by their former tasllmas-
ters and their offspring. The negroes
usually vote for that party under
whose administration they received
their freedom, and the dominant party
in the South dislike them for that.
~ Is Why Huluiui eiHt tiiS hSSioS,
should have voted the Republican
ticket im the past. but to-day when
the party of Lincoln has changed. the
negroes should not attach themselves
to it as a race, but initiate the whites
in belonging to different political par
ties. In our opinion, the best thing
for the black man to do is to cast
the Republican party to the dogs and
become an independent citizen, ready
to vote for and with any party that
will advance his race in the struggle
for life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
President Roosevelt is undoubtedly

not. The privileged classes want
things to remain as they are and are
using all their mighty influence
against the innovation. But they must
inevitably succumb to the power of
the people. The great republic is gov
erned by an oligarchy of wealth
whose representatives sit in the upper
house at Washington. 1t is about
time for the democracy to awake from
its lethargy and retire the millionaires
and their agents to private life.
