WEALTH AND HEALTH.

John ID. Rockefeller continues to
command more or less attention, not so
much recently on account of his i'm
mense wealth. but more particularly
from an announcement made Of all
menS he has been attempting to rid
himself of, such as dyspepsia and
kindred diseases of the stomach with
which he is afflicted and from which
he can find no permanent relief. He
has resorted to golf. but golf was
never intended to give anyone an ap-
petite. Pitching Quoits is preferable
to golf and is just ABOUT as scientific
game. Mr. Rockefeller seems also
to have taken to gardening and has
been giving much of his time to dig
ging the soil with the hope that this
will bring him some degree of relief
and. perhaps. restore him to his old
time health and vigor. Working in

all this. The case cited is not by any

Parties of Belfast were prepared, in
a spirit of patriotism and in view of
the happier conditions prevailing, to
provide the capital necessary for de-

without going to the public for help.
Mr.. Wyndham concluded with saying:
'"There has been nothing SO hopeful,
patriotic and businesslike in Ireland
since the eighteenth century," The
motion Of the secretary was adopted.
Not only is it becoming more and
more certain that the land bill will
be finally adopted, but the belief
grows stronger that Home Rule will

Thomas f. Ryan, staunch Demo-
crat, tries to tell the Democrats,
through the columns of the North
American Review, how to win in 1904,
says the Duluth News-Tribune. In the
course of the article, he says: The
Democratic party should have due re-
gard to the reasonable needs of Amer
lean manufactures, but should not
prostitute congress to the contempti-
bic part of acting as the plant tool Of
special interests. The question of alb
solute free trade must be wholly elm
mated. No Democratic congress will
ever wipe out protection, or reduce it
upon highly finished products below a
reasonably protective point" This
Democrat does not seem to agree with
those Republicans of Minnesota who
think, or did until lately, that clamor
against the Dingley law is the way to
popularity.

Archbishop Spalding, a member of
the coal strike commission, in a not
able sermon delivered in Washington
recently, made known in no uncer-
tain way his position towards organ
lied labor. He said: ".The labor I'M
ions have in many ways been benef-
icent. They have promoted and facil-
itated factory legislation-the various
measures to improve the environment
in which men work. to protect the life
and health of the wage earners, and
to shield the honor and purity of wom-
Ell and children. They have helped to
secure shorter hours and higher wages,
and to remove oppressive fines and
penalties. They have been a check
OH the unfairness and brutality of
foremen and bosses. They nave been
a mental and moral stimulus to their
think and act in concert. Again,
labor unions have created the most
favorable conditions for the establish
ment of boards of arbitration and con-
citation which have averted many
and great evils and which. it is be-
lieved, can furnish the only permanent
method of settling disputes between
the employed and their employees. AS
the profession aim to exclude, or at
least nut q mark of renrObatiOn on
their unworthy members, so organized
labor, we may hope. will gain insight
into the fact that the true welfare of
working men as Of all men and peo-
pies, depends chiefly on the firmness
with which they upbuild character.

CREMAToRY REMOVAL.

The incinerators will not be trans
ferred from their present location at
Fiftieth and Lyndale avenues north
to Halls island in the Mississippi
river. After /; prolonged fight OF the
First warders, made against Health
Commissioner Hall in regard to the
proposed change of location, they came
out victorious. 1t was a close vote in
the city council, but Aldermen Ryan
and Gerber had marshalled their
forces we'll and deserve much credit
for the success achieved. Outside the
question of locality it is fair to say
that a majority of the people who have
given it any consideration, believe the
result of the struggle is eminently
just, taking everything into considera-
ton. The crematory, as .Iayor
Haynes says, is still in an experiment
tai stage and it is not wise to estab-
lsh a new plant until the system has
been evolved to a higher state OF per-
lection. This may come to pass with
in II few years. When the objection
able features are eradicated it will be
time enough to consider the question
of change.
Backed by the loyal support of the
people Of that ward, the aldermen of
the First We're able to accomplish the
end sought. This same spirit, if only
continued, will work wonders for the
general advancement of that part of
the city in the future.
