A Substitute.

Henry Watterson has been an edi-

nand all the ways of getting rid of the
bores who infest newspaper Offices.
FIe tells this story OF country jour-
nalist, friend of his: The latter was
in his sanctum, saving out weighty
utterances from pretentious con-
temporaries when the office boy an
nounced that two gentlemen were
waiting to see him in an adjoining
room. "Who are they?" asked the
editor, dropping his shears. "What
do they want?" "I don't know who
they are, sir" replied the lad, but one
is poet and the other is stone deaf"
ooh, that's all right" responded the
editor as he picked up the paste
brush; "you just go out and tell the
poet that the deaf man is the editor

HIS BoYHooD.
Born in ireland, Mayor Collins Came
Of a Family Of Farmers.

OF a Family OF Farmers.
Patrick A. Collins, mayor of Bos-
ton, who died on the 18th inst, at Hot
Springs, Richmond, Va, was born at
Ballinafauna, near Fermoy, in the
county of Cork, ireland, March H.
1874.
His father, Bartholomew Collins,
was Strong" farmer, as the Irish
phrase is, and came of family Of
farmers, all of intense national spirit.
He built the house in which Patrick
was born on land leased from the
Earl of Mountcashel some 200 acres
on the high range overlooking the
Blackwater river, and commanding a
vast view OF Waterford, Limerick and
the Galtee mountains of Tipperary in
the distance.
The large stone building still stands
and children of Mr.. Collins have seen
the house and the room in it where
their father was born. The lease has
many years yet to run, though the
landlord is gone. 1t passed by assign
ment from Mr.. Collins mother to the
family that now occupies, after the
death of Bartholomew Collins in 1877.
His mother was fond of telling how
Daniel O'Connell, his fathers friend,
one day his guest at the house at Bal
linafauna, took the small boy in his
great arms and kissed him and hoped
he would grow to be good and useful
to his native land.
The brave mother, Mary (Leahy)
Collins, woman OF the strongest and
sweetest character. who died and was
buried from Mr. Collins house at
Mount Ida. Dorchester. in 1890, sold
the lease OF the Mountcashel farm
and gave to her brother-in-law the
lease OF another near by. and set out
with her three children and the chill
dren OF her late husband by former
marriage, for America.
The little group arrived in Boston
in the month OF March. 1S4S. She re-
married. and her youngest child is
John H. Burke, Judge OF the Boston
Municipal court. Until her death the
three groups OF children gathered
about her. and all called her mother.
On their arrival in Boston Patrick.
the subject Of this sketch. was but
, four years OF age. Sometime later
, the mother, with her children, moved
to Chelsea. Mass. At the age OF IL
Patrick had to go to work to help
support the family. He went into a
carpenters shop and then into a law
Office. His mother moved to Ohio

Simultaneously with the reopcning
OF the public schools OF New York
City there were also reopencd i'll the
five boroughs of that city lao free
Roman Catholic parish schools, into
which more than 10000 boys and girls
we're received to acquire an elementary
education, says the Memphis Catholic
Journal. These children will be taught
by more than 100 teachers, lay and
religious. Four of the schools are
opened for the first time. In ten years
every parish church in the boroughs OF
Manhattan, Bronx and Richmond will
have it's school, and then the Roman
Catholic school register OF the city will
count 10000 names. Since it costs the
city about $40 year to educate each
boy and girl in the public school, the
Roman Catholic schools represent an
annual budget of about $3,ooo,ooo.

DEATH OF THE "TIMEs."

The death of the Minneapolis Times
ends a prolonged and discouraging eff
fort to maintain in this community an
Independent newspaper. The Times
during the most of its existence was
valuable and public-spirited factor
in this city. 1t essayed to support
those policies and candidates which in
its opinion would make for the good
of Minneapolis and it's people. The
lesson to be drawn from the failure of
the Times is that the people of this
community do not desire and will not
support paper which is not an organ.
At different periods in its existence
efforts have been made to make of the
Times an exponent of Democratic
principles. 1t is probable that an eff
fort to establish a strictly Democratic
paper in Minneapolis would be attend
Gu with no better success than has at
tended the attempt to maintain an in
dependent paper. Real Democrats are
somewhat scarce in this neck of the
woods. The number of votes cast for
the last presidential candidate of the
party is a good criterion by which to
judge.
A hue and cry will now doubtless
be raised by certain class for the
establishment here of newspaper af-
ter the order of the Hearst papers.
We have a full quota of people in this
city claiming to be Democrats upon
every day of the year except election
day, who will not be satisfied with any
doctrine or organ which does not ap-
peal to class prejudices and to the
selfishness of human nature. To be
sure none of these people voted for
Parker last year although he was the
choice of the overwhelming majority
of the delegates to the last national
convention. His candidacy did not ap-
peal to them because it was not based
upon class prejudices. Most of them.
therefore, voted for the Republican
candidate, but some of them little
more honest voted for the real expo
nent of their principles, the Socialistic
candidate. In our humble opinion 1t will
be much better for real Democracy
If William R. Hearst is persuaded that
there are too few of the advocates and
believers in his class in the state of
Minnesota to support one of his news
papers. Wherever these newspapers
have been established they have in.
jured the cause of Democracy. They
are found as often supporting the op.
ponents of the Democratic party as they
are supporting Democratic candidates
With them no one is Democrat who
does not represent exclusively some
: particular class. The old Democratic
policy of equal opportunity for all and
special privileges for none is no longer
test of Democracy. Republican leg.

and Patrick worked there in foundry
and i'll blacksmith's shop. He went
back to Boston, learned the trade OF
upholstering and worked at it for
: eight years. He at last got work in
the law Office of James S. Keith, and
/ after two years entered the Harvard
/, Law school, from which he was grad
uated i'll 1871. In. the law school he
! was prominent as speaker. He had
gone into political affairs while he
was student and had been elected a
member OF the State House of Repre-
sentatives in 1868. He served two
terms there and one in the State Sen
ate. He became chairman of the Bos-
ton Democratic committee in 1873,
and held the responsibilities of the
place for two years. He was Judge
| Advocate General OF the staff of Gov
CASTOR. He was delegate at large to
the national Democratic conventions Of
1876. 1880. 1884 and 1892. He was per-
manent chairman OF the 1888 conven-
ton. He was member OF the Forty
eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Con-
crosses. In 1885 he was appointed
Consul General at London. In 1897
he returned to the practice of law in
Boston i'll the firm OF Corcoran g.
Collins. He was nominated for mayor
i'll 1902 but was beaten. He was elect
ed the next year and was reelected in
every year since.
Funeral services for Mayor Collins
were held at the great Cathedral OF
the Holy Cross. The business life OF
the municipality stopped to do rever-
encc to the memory of the dead ex-
ecutive. Schools, courts, places of
trade, municipal Offices and n1anufac-
turing establishments suspended oper-
ations for the day. Flags all over the
city were lowered to half mast; also
on the ships in the harbor. The
solemn tolling OF bells from church
spires and the ringing of fire alarm
bells throughout the entire system
every thirty seconds announced the be-
ginning and end of the funeral serv-
icestin the Cathedral.
The pallbearers were Gov. William

the HepuDncanS IN On1O. Senator For
aker and Vice President Fairbanks
have felt called upon to take the
stump. They are endeavoring to make
the people of that state believe that
national issues are involved, while the
Democratic leaders wish the people
to understand that the only issues in.
volved are local ones. Both Senator
Foraker and Vice President Fairbanks
discussed the tariff at length in the
opening speeches. The vice presi.
dents answer to the arraignment of
GovernorHerrick and other Republican
officials for non-enforcement of state
laws is about as far from the point
as it is possible to get "Let we'll
enough alone" he says. When bust.
ness conditions are unexcelled, when
both labor and capitol are generally
and profitably employed, it is not the
part of wisdom to revolutionize politi.
cal parties. A Republican congress
will readjust tariff schedules when
ever readjustment is essential to pre-.
serve the integrity of the system and
to maintain the law in wholesome
operation" This is very definite from
the distinguished statesman who is
vice president of the United States.
1t means about this: that the subject
will be considered whenever it is con-
sidered and the duties will be adjust
ed whenever they are adjusted and
that the Republican party will do it
whenever they do do it.
Just what the tariff has to do with
the non-enforcement of liquor laws the
vice-president does not say and per-
haps it is we'll that he did not attempt
an explanation. The chief reliance of
the Democratic party is the opposition
of Governor Herrick within his own
party because of his action in regard
to local option. The religious and
temperance elements of the state are
working hand in hand with the Demo-
SAoeAN NoAApoAE OOlI11lICCS. "A 1lILlC
consideration, however, of the vote of
Ohio during the past fifteen or twenty
years will show what tremendous
change must be brought about in order
to defeat the Republican candidate. In
state elections from 1881 to 1890 the
average Republican plurality was less
than ten thousand. In the decade
from 1880 to 1900 the average Repub-
lican plurality has increased to one
hundred thousand. One would need
to be very sanguine in order to hope
for Democratic success under these
conditions. We are not without prece-
dents, however, to show that the liquor
question is very potent one in deter
elections, but the precedents
are rather in favor of the liquor inter-
ests. A few years ago the state of
Iowa elected Democratic governor
because the people had become tired
of an ineffectual prohibitory law.
Othe. states have done the same thing.
1t remains to be seen whether or not
the temperance people are capable of
the same united and intelligent action
that the saloon interests are capable
OF. If the temperance people of the
state of Ohio are really in favor of the
enforcement Of the laws of that state
they have an excellent opportunity for
expressing their wish this year. The
trouble with the average reformer is
tnat he is anything but practical. He
is continually striving after the unat-
tainable and foolishly refuses to aid in
measures which would give partial re-
