The death OF General James Long
street leaves but one great Confeder-
ate commander alive-General Cor
don. General Longstreet was one OF
the most prominent figures of the
Civil War. He was one of the ablest
of the Southern leaders. But he has
always been unpopular in the South.
This fact was due to his course after
the war. He accepted Office under
Grant and affiliated with the Republi-
can party. This caused him to be re-
garded as deserter of his people and
deserter of his party. His peculiar
stand caused him to be the object OF
serious charges. 1t has been asserted
that he was to blame for the loss of
Gettysburg to the Confederacy, that
he disobeyed General Lees commands
at that time. Time has softened the
feeling OF the South toward Long
street and indeed there seems no rea-
son to believe that he was anything
but an able, fearless and faithful COM
mander who was unfortunate enough
to draw down upon himself the hatred
of his old comrades by his political
action subsequent to the war. Before
the war he was West Pointer and
probably never cast ballot until af-
ter the war.

OF these very newspapers and preach
ers occupy buildings where crowds
gather, which do not comply with
building ordinances. One OF the most
disastrous fires Minneapolis ever had
was in newspaper building. Every
day in this city we witness street cars
filled to suffocation. They are packed
so that it becomes almost impossible
tor a person to get out. Some day
great disaster will occur to one of
these crowded cars, and scores of peo-
pie killed and injured because of the
inhuinan and altogether unnecessary
manner in which people are forced in
to the cars. Then there will be belated
preaching and demand for regula-
tons against crowding OF cars. A lit
tie regard for. the rights of one an
other would compel some reasonable
regulation on the part of the street
car company before such disaster oc-
ours. 1t will not do for people in their
extremity to demand some scapegoat
to carry the blame which rightly be-
longs to the whole people. Our Amer
lean cities have grown so rapidly that
we have not been able to devise rules
and regulations for people living in
crowded communities.

Rev. Father George Deshon, super
ior general and one of the founders
of the missionary society of the Paul
list Fathers, is dead. A solemn re-
QUEEN mass was celebrated at the
church OF St. Paul the Apostle in New
York city last Saturday, for the repose
OF his soul. Very Rev. Michael J.
Lavelle, vicar general and pastor of
st. Patrick's cathedral, preached the
sermon and the final absolution was
pronounced by Archbishop Farley.
The body was placed in the crypt of
the church of St. Paul the Apostle.
The cadets at the West Point military
academy, OF which school Father
Deshon was a graduate and classmate
Of General Grant, sent wreath Of
immortelles to be placed on the casket.
The good Dominican did much in his
day for the betterment of humanity,
and the announcement of his death
will be felt as personal loss to many,
here as we'll as elsewhere.

The Anti-Emigration society of Ire
land, says the New York Freeman's
Journal, request the Irish in America
to aid their work by sending them pic
lures illustrating the occupations and
homes of unskilled laborers in the
United States, and they intend when
they have obtained number of such
illustrations sufficient to convey a
complete picture of what an unskilled
emigrant's life often is, to send lee
turer with a magic lantern through
the districts in Ireland suffering most
from emigration" This is good
plan OF campaign. If the people in
Ireland knew what tenement house
in the slums of New York or any other
big American city is they would be
likely to prefer even mudwall cabin
in "congested district" at home,
where they would at least have whole
some fresh air to breathe and green
fields to look upon.

At last the Republicans in this state
have got their slate arranged or,
rather the Van SAINT Republicans have
Ordinary citizens will be glad to know
that the traffic in supreme court seats
has ceased for awhile. The recent
events in the politics of this state give
. good example of politics run wild.
Can it be possible that Republican cit
liens of this state look with favor up
on the scramble for seats upon the
bench7 1t is certainly not in keeping
with our idea Of the dignity and char
scter of the American judiciary to see
4 man conducting campaign for a
political office while sitting in judg-
ment in the highest court of a state.
We ask and expect little from the Re-
publican party in the state. Is it too
much to ask its leaders in their mad
scramble for Office, ito please keep
their hands off the judiciary" Ordin-
s1y citizens who never ask for political
office or favor are quite numerous;
they own much property, they ask only
. free and fair chance. Such citizens,
h 10 quite certain, would prefer to
baye the judiciary stay out of politics
Surely it cannot be too much for the
Sl6ceseekers to concede that much to
fat class Of citizens.

The Indifference with which certain
Republican papers pretend to look up
on the possible loss of New York
state to the Republican party is who'll
ly unjustifable. The loss of New
York defeated Henry Clay in 1874.
1t defeated Lewis Cass in 1S48. 1t de-
'feated Hayes in 1876, although he was.
afterwards counted in. 1t defeated
Hancock in 1880, Blaine in 1884 and
Cleveland in 1888. Grant was the on
ly president elected since the war
without the aid of New York. Sey-
mour carried the state in 1868 and
was defeated. Cleveland would have
been elected in 1892, even without
New York, as would Mckinley in
1896 and 1000. But for a political
party to pretend assurance of success,
in national campaign without New
York is political nonsense.

To carry out his protection CAM
paign in England, Chamberlain issued
an appeal for half million of dollars
month ago. He has already secured
more than million, says the San
Francisco Leader. A recent London
dispatch reveals state of affairs very
similar to Our own. "The money comes
exclusively from big manufacturers
and others who stand to make millions
by protective tariff. The working
class have not given a penny" 1t is
added that orators are paid handsome
salaries to preach the protective doc
trine. Christie Murray, the novelist,
getting five hundred dollars a month;
and that working men are paid to at
tend the meetings, Wherein says a
correspondent, "they have the example
of their betters." Some rich men are
laboring for the cause in the hope
OF receiving titles when "pushful Joe"
becomes prime minister. Do not these
tactics seem the exact counterpart of
those pursued in Our own protection
campaigns. The Brummagem states
man has evidently sat at the feet Of
Mark Hanna.
