A city contemporary published a Sc
lected article on Irish wit the other
day, which is a genuine counterfeit
Not laugh could be extracted from a
whole column of the stuff. The one bit
of truth contained lay in the prosaic
statement that while the wit of the
Scotchman and Englishman came, as
Sandy expressed it, "wi deefeculty, u
the wit of the Irishman is natural and
spontaneous. The meat of it is chiefly
observable in his ready repartee, in
his bright yet evasive answers to
questions he cares not to answer in
any other way. The story in our con-
temporary, however, gives examples
only of the resentful language of dis
appointed beggars end the caustic
blessings" of fishwomen and fruit
vendors. Such is pot Irish wit. Per-
haps one of the readiest instances of
apt and witty replies was lately deliv-
cred by big Bill Devery," one of
Tammany's millionaire sachems. Mr..
Deverys has been throwing money
right and left among the poor people
of the Ninth assembly district, and
providing the sick with doctors. A
thirsty old soak, shaking in every limb
as the penalty of prolonged debauch
impudently approached the big chief,
saying: "Devery, bear you are pro-
viding the sick in your district with
doctors Send me one" Devery
looked the fellow over a minute, then
replied: "'Tisn't doctor you want;
it's a snake charmer."

LABOR TROUBLES.

The lockout of the organized
building trades in Salt Lake, which
forebodes misery and hardship is not
between capital and labor, but be-
tween two phases of labor, the work
man and master-workman. Whilst
confined to capital and labor there
was always sympathy for the horny
sons of toll. When it was a question
of not only reducing wages and COM
polling men to work for the lowest
possible wages, but of not giving them
any work to do, as was the case in
the coal regions, universal sympathy
was extended and public opinion de-
manded justice. In the present in
stance the case is entirely different. 1t
is quarrel between the mechanic and
master mechanic. Zach present their
grievances, through the daily press,
to the court of public opinion, but
who can discriminate and tell who is
wrong, and how these wrongs are to
be righted. The complaints and re-
plies as furnished by both classes con-
tain half-truths, and the daily press,
in espousing either side, can only
say, eff such is the case it should be
righted." The mechanic is the equal
of his master in intelligence and
neither is prepared to accept the die
tum of the editor who appeals to a
sense of justice, suggests compro-
mise-give and take-or tells of the
folly of not being prepared for long
winter, when there is no work. The
hod-carrier, when face to face with the
most brilliant editor in debating his
grievances, will prove himself more
subtle reasoner that the plumed
knight of the pen. Everything that
endangers his craft he instinctively
apprehends, and as he is protected by
all the trade-unions. he will naturally
appeal for their aid when he sees the
pending danger. Self-protection be-
ing the motto of all unions, in their
battle for existence they stand united
in one solid phalanx to ensure and per
petuate their existence The master
workman, not being eligible, or allowed
the privilege of membership, is only
the fifth wheel in the carriage of pro-
gress, or the great social evolution of
the age. Ignored by the employee.

and treated as a nonenity by capital
who pays him for his contract, if he
is unable to coerce the former, or tC
elicit the sympathy of the latter, his
condition at best is unenviable. In
telligence, not fear, rules the age. The
man with the br0nzed face and
dressed in his overalls feels his indie,
pendence, and will not crouch before
his master. Their orators and publ
cations tell them that it is better to
die struggling for freedom, and better
their social condition than yield and
forfeit their rights as freemen. An
ordinary mechanic, who was earning
three dollars a day, was asked by the
writer if he would sacrifice such
wages for another branch of trade en-
tirely different from his, answered.:
Eyes, I will loaf on dollar day and
stand by my colors to the end" The
answer was suggestive, and presents
a theme worthy of serious considera-
ton. Social and class warfare in the
twentieth century will be fought on
different lines from any that have
taken place since the human race
emerged from barharism. Universal
suffrage and intelligence backed by
order guaranteed to all
citizens will, some day, be brought
into play to solve the difficulties that
are constantly threatening to stop the
wheels of progress. The fair prom
ises of cunning politicians will be
in the council chambers, and
equally adroit politicians, whose mis-
sion is to emancipate the masses from
he law of fear, will decide to settle
heir difficulties at the polls. tits no
onger intelligence versus ignorance,
IF capital and power versus labor and
slavery, but an intellectual struggle
or supremacy in the social order be-
ween two contending forces who have
nothing in common save life and lib
erty.

THE PoPE's ADMoNITIoN.
L. SCANLAN,
Bishop of Salt Lake.

A Catholic newspaper in a parish
Is perpetual mission. Let all who
truly and from their souls desire that
religion and society defended by hui
man intellect and literature should
flourish, strive by their liberality to
guard and protect the Catholic press,
and let every one In proportion to his
income support them with his money
and influence, for to those who do,
vote themselves to the Catholic press
we ought by all means to bring helps
Of this kind, without which. their In
dustry will either have no results or
uncertain and miserable ones.

Grand juries are long way from in
fallibility, nevertheless more times
than not the result of inquisitions
serves to aid the administration of
justice. It is so in st. Louis. 1t may
be so in Salt Lake, although opinion
is divided over the result of the grand
jury's findings which sat for over a
week and were discharged last Tues
day Among the things investigated
was that of polygamy, charges being
preferred against several prominent
citizens. The jury found no evidence
to warrant indictments. This an
nouncement certainly brought cha
grin and disappointment to those who
presented the information" to the
jury. 1t fell like CARLOAD of ice upon
the devoted heads of the Salt Lake
Ministerial association, who have been
tuning every chord to make Utah a
hiss and byword throughout the ma
ton, along with unseating Senator
Smoot. Oddly enough, although no
improper motive can be charged, last
Sunday, and pending the report of the
grand jury, city contemporary pub
lished copious extracts from a new
story book written by the editor of
Puck, entitled "The Lions of the
Lord" These "lions" were the Dan
ties of early Mormon days in Utah,
and identified with the Mountain
Meadow massacre, according to the
story. A Mormon collection of books

oEEIclAL ENDORSEMENT.

Editor Intermountain Catholic:
My Dear Sir-Replying to your ia
vor asking my approval Of The Inter
mountain Catholic since its establish
ment in this diocese, will state that
I consider the founding of Catholic
paper in Salt Lake not the least of the
many blessings bestowed by Provi-
dence on the Church here during the
past two years. It's birth occurred at
an opportune time. Its zeal in propa-
eating Catholic truth has had, since
Its inception, my hearty though silent
approval. l believe with Our Holy
Father that "a good Catholic journal
is perpetual mission in a parish"
and that it will serve as question
box, at all times, for anxious inquir-
ers. In my visitations 1 shall hope to
find The Intermountain Catholic in
the homes of every Catholic family.
Its mission is to espouse truth, justice
and morality, and all devoted priests
will find in it an able co-operator in
their missionary work. 1t is my wish
ahat all my priests and the laity en-
trusted to my charge should encour-
age your noble effort and that Of the
generous founder of The Intermoun-
tain Catholic. Yours sincerely,
L. SCANLAN,
Bishop of Salt Lake.

That it doesn't pay to go back on
your race and creed for the purpose
of winning the favor of those who
hate both is demonstrated by the case
of Judge Elbridge Hanecy, of Chicago.
His baptismal name was Patrick Hen
messy, but, thinking he would be more
successful in the world if he disguised
his Irish origin, he changed his name
and became a Baptist A few years
ago, when he was a candidate for
mayor of Chicago, the story of his
cowardly desertion of his old faith
came out, and he was despised by
Professionals as well as Catholics. The
other day he ran for judge, and he was
defeated by plurality of $4,000 votes.
If he had stuck to his race and re
liglon he might have been more sue
cessful- At least he would deserve the
respect of honest men. Cowardly rem
egades get their deserts at some time

The Chicago Tribune has been
rounding up the Governors of the diff
ferent states and branding them with
their religious mark In the list are
twelve mavericks, who belong to no
flock, and on whom some enterprising
shepherd may place his own or his
masters brand. The following is the
result of the Tribune's investigation:
Maine has a Universalist governor,
Delaware has a Quaker governor, Uta
Delaware has a Quaker governor,
Utah has a Mormon governor. Two
of the governors (Rhode Islands and
Wisconsin's) are Unitarians. Penny
packer is one of the four Protestant
Episcopalians. Six of the governors
are Babtists, seven are Presbyterians,
eight are Methodists. Twelve govern
ors are not church members.

1t seems to us that the sects them
selves are coming more and more to
see that sectarianism is really the
great evil of the times in which we
live. 1t is the cause of confusion, of
skepticism, of Indifference and of gen
eral apathy on the subject of religious
education. But the great question is,
how are you going to get rid of sec
tarianism? Surely it is not by decry-
ing creeds. You must have a basis
for truth. Of course the only real.
effective cure for sectarianism is an
authoritative voice, speaking in the
name of God, and deciding definitely
and unerringly what the truth is. For
such tribunal it is not far to seek,
for there is only one tribunal that
makes such a claim. The world is
slowly finding out what and where
it is, but unfortunately, the world is
not yet ready to submit to that au-
thoritative tribunal; and so it goes
on its Independent way, and with all
the confidence of apparent conviction
continues to ring the changes on the
necessity of religion without creed,
dogma or church.-Sacred Heart Re

Fires, floods and tempests, explo-
sions attended by fearful loss of life,
lynchings and burning at the stake of
negro rapists, race wars and labor
strikes-all these within the last fort
night have held the bitter cup to the
people of this country. How much
better off we were fifty years ago,
with our hand to the pillow, working for
our board and clothes and telling the

longings, buying resurrection robes

Hundred. What respect would be
paid to the statue of Washington in
London-the silent figure OF a revolu-
tionary hero who drove the British
over the sea and wrested this coun-
try from their tyrannical grasp? The
average Briton, if told that the statue
represented the likeness of some ia
vorite laquey of the lord mayor, would
believe it as readily as would
another if told that it was
a statue of Dick Turpin, at the
time highwaymen wore knee breeches
and buckle shoes, especially if the
statue were mounted on an 'orse.

The transfer of the Oregon Short
Line south of Salt Lake to the Los
Angeles, San Pedro and Salt Lake
railroad took place on Tuesday at mid
night. This new deal has been anx-
iously awaited by all citizens for some
time. When the latter road is COM
pleted it will mean that Eastern CAPT
taliists and many others who make
southern California their winter quar-
tiers will first visit Salt Lake. To
visit Salt Lake and inhale the balmy
air that comes from the great Salt
Lake and sweeps down from the Wa
satch mountains would mean a change
of base for pleasure and health seek
ers. Unless the new road should con-
centrate all its business at the west
ern terminus it will add materially to
the prosperity of our city.

HANDS ACROSS TO FRANCE.

The daily papers of Sunday last
were replete with accounts of Fourth
of July celebrations in various cities
Of the Union and few capitals of the
old world. Only two, however, could
attract the attention of the American
who was born during the Mexican
war; who was taught the story of the
revolutionary war along with his A,
B, C's in the little red school house;
who, growing up to matured manhood.
is either animated with patriotic fer
vor or overcome with dismay when he
analyses what is taking place in the
hearts and souls of the American peo-
pie since he was boy.
One of those celebrations was held
on the White House grounds at Wash
ington after the dismissal of the grand
parade-the first time in the long his
tory of the executive mansion. The
other took place at a banquet in Lon
don, acknowledgement, Americas
hereditary foe. Mark the wide differ
ence of those two celebrations. The
one in London no stretch of the imag-
nation could conjure less than an
anomaly, attended by the descendants
of those who vainly sought to fasten
the chains of slavery on the American
colonies even as they have success
fully bound the letters about Ireland
and the republics of South Africa
Amid the clinking of glasses at this
incongruous gathering of Tories and
silk-stocking Americans, arose Justice
Sir William Grantham. He proposed
the health of Ambassador Choate, our
American minister to Great Britain.
If Sir William had sat down after this
act and said no more, the patriotic
people on this side of the water would
pay little heed to what took place in
London on Fourth OF July. But Sir
William did not sit down, but kept
right on talking and throwing bou-
quets at the American minister A
keen Briton as Sir William undoubt-
edly is, knows how susceptible to fiat
terry is the toady Anglo-American. He
punctured the Americanism of Ambas-
sador Choate, which, after all, is only
skin deep. Therefore, when in the
course of his laudatory toast, Sir Will
liam ventured to say that Ambassador
Choate was regarded in England as an
Englishman, no marx of displeasure
crossed the countenance of the person
supposed to represent American inter
ests and American manhood in Great
Britain. He did not resent such an
1nslnuation from English lips as Ben
jamin Franklin would have done, or
John Jay would have done, or any
other plenipotentiary would have done
who lived in the dismal days of Valley
Forge, made glorious by the triumph
at Yorktown.
Quite the contrary did Ambassador
Choate. In most Object tones, he de-
MED the soft impeachment regarding
his nationality, but in speech so dis
sembling as not to offend, but rather
to jolly the Britons sitting around the
table. 81 cannot claim or admit that
have become an Englishman," he
said. eff it is so, am an Englishman
Of the seventeenth century" Well |
said, Ambassador Choate. You are GER
-ainly not an American of the seven
zenith century, nor of the eighteenth
century. Tories and Benedict Arnold
lived in those days to aid the enemy
md harass the colonists. Had you
llso lived in those times, your syco-
'hancy as ambassador to Great Brit

Bishop McGobreck of Duluth is
practical, if not original in what con
stitutes a good education. In his ad
dress at the closing exercises of the
Duluth Sacred Heart institute he said:
81 am a believer in good ordinary edu-
cation. l do not believe in giving
student a smattering of number
of deep and abstract subjects which
are calculated to spoil child"
The important branches for which
his lordship offers a gold medal are
prominently practical, and unique.
Some are plain sewing, cooking, how
to lay table, and make a bed, etc"
If the prize is not confined to the do
cese of Duluth, we have no doubt but
the children of Kearn's st. AIMS or
phanage would pass a most satisfac
tory examination on all the above
branches, including "the sewing of
stockings and torn trousers" in which
they get plenty work and thorough
training. The public examination last
month in practical subjects which con-
cluded their years work was pre-
cisely what Bishop McGobrick wants.
We will be fair and honest if he sends
his gold medal to this side of the
Rocky mountains in reporting results
next June on all the above named
subjects.
