DISREGARD OF LAW.

Minneapolis has been visited with
another fire calamity. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the fire at the West
Hotel on last Wednesday happened
during the hours of daylight, many
lives were lost. OF course all this
will be called an accident; yet we VEN
ture the opinion that perhaps the fire
itself and the great loss of life is due
not to accident, but is the direct result
of disregard of law and ordinary pre-
caution. We have building inspectors,
fire-marshals, ordinances and state
laws. The laws appear to have been
made for no other purpose except to
be disregarded. We have building in
spectors whose only duty appears TO
be drawing their salary and their
breath. 1t is not long ago since sew
eral lives were lost in Minneapolis as
the result of the alleged negligence of
the building inspector of this city.
We had IN investigation at that time
and the result of that investigation
was to absolve the officials from any
blame. We will, perhaps, have an
other investigation now and the result
will be the same. There will be a
spasmodic effort for a short time to
make influential citizens comply with
some of the laws of the state and then
our overworked officials will relapse
into their old habit of drawing their
salary and nothing more.
1t is a burning shame and disgrace
to American citizenship that it should
permit such fragrant neglect on the
part of its public servants. If there
is any one thing true more than an
other about the American people it is
that they have no regard for law. Let
man be wealthy and influential, let
him be but one Of the business men
Of the city, and he is permitted by
public servants to disregard ordi-
nance after ordinance. The business
man may block the sidewalk with his
wares. he may hang dangerous signs
over walks where thousands Of people
pass every day, he may allow ice and
snow to accumulate upon skyscrapers
to fall upon the head of the first un-
fortunate that may then be happening
to pass. he may conduct his business
without much regard to the safety OF
the general public.
We have on numerous other occa-
sions called attention to these many
fragrant neglects on the part Of citi.
zens and officials. There appears, how
ever, to be no remedy. The people Of
Minneapolis were Mortified at the re-
suit of the West Hotel fire, but the
| people of Minneapolis will go on ir
the same old way: condoning, excus-
ing and supporting the officers and
people to whose neglect the loss o,
life Is as surely due as anything IL
the world.

A man in Pennsylvania worked hard
and saved every possible cent in or
der that he might have fine monu-
ment in the cemetery Of his native
village, says the Catholic Columbian
He had accumulated $4,000 at the
time of his death. Every dollar of
that amount has been devoted to the
building of the memorial. 1t is nearly
finished, is So feet high and weighs
nearly 500 TONS What narrow life!
What a waste Of fortune! A grand
monument should be erected only
when it can call attention to a grand
life-to a career giving inspiration ia
others in their ambition to serve God
gloriously, to benefit humanity sig
nally. to reach the heights Of altruistic
self-sacrifce.

It is rumored that General James Il.
Smith is to be appointed the next
governor of the Philippines in spite
Of the objections that have been
raised in certain quarters against his
appointment, says the True Voice.
General Smith is q Catholic, but that
fact, taken by itself, should make no
difference. Some Catholics in office
are neither a credit to their religion
nor just to their co-religionists.
Smiths record, apart from his relig-
ious belief, should alone be counted
for or against him.

We will doubtless have investigation
of the West Hotel fire with result
known beforehand; a complete white
wash for public officials and the ca
lamity put down to the convenient
class-inevitable accident and act Of
God. There may be some private in
dividuals who have suffered through
the loss of relatives who will object
to this result and bring private suits
for damages.

The Orange DULLES in Ireland have
received a rude shock, says the New
York Irish-American. King Edward
1t seems has found it necessary to let
it be known at the central offices of
both the Unionist and Liberal parties
that all election literature containing
any reference to him, or displaying
flying him with either party, must be
stopped. Such an unheard-of order
goes to the very length of depriving
the Orangemen of their entire politi-
cal stock-in-trade at a single blow.

Club of Minneapolis. In fact one
could not be present at the banquet
without noticing that energy bubbling
right out. There is a place for that
excess energy in the politics of this
community. II the Jefferson Club
will start out at the next election with
the determined purpose to elect a half
dozen or more really honest and eff
f1cient aldermen out of the thirteen
to be chosen, they will have done q
great deal for one campaign. Before
we attempt the great task Of fighting
the public service corporations we
should be sure that majority Of the
servants who represent us in the city
council are our servants and not the
servants of the corporations. When we
have effected that result we will then
be in a position to commence to talk
business to the public service corpora
lions. There is no one with any
knowledge of men and politics who
does not know that our city council
as at present constructed are the serv-
ants of these very corporations whom
members of the Jefferson Club think
they can overwhelm by municipal!
ownership campaign.
There is just one other thought
which strikes US in reference to this
banquet. Perhaps the speakers were
Democrats, but If so no constitutional
Democrat hearing the speeches would
have surmised 1t. Andrew Jackson
was an individualist, and in no sense
a believer in paternalism. Andrew
Jackson's administration is remember
ed chiefly from the fact that he put the
government of the United States out
of the banking business. Thomas JEFF
ferson, whose name was mentioned a
few times and after whom the club
is named, said that "That government
is best which governs least" We
would hardly expect to find either of
these two gentlemen, If they were
alive, advocating the ownership Of the
railways by the general government.
We would rather expect to find them
insisting upon the powerful owners of
the railways obeying the law. In view
of this fact it was not surprising that
the chief orator of the evening advised
his hearers not to pay too much at
tention to the men who have passed
but to look to the present and the flu
ture. He knew, even if some of the
members of the Jefferson Club did not
know, what sort of men Thomas JEFF
ferson and Andrew Jackson were and
what sort of principles they advocated.
In view of this fact we think that the
Jefferson Club should go rather slow
in the endeavor now being made in
some quarters to force upon the Dem
ocratic party, at this time, the issue
of municipal ownership in this city.
Let the members not forget that the
road to municipal ownership is a long
and tedious one. They should not eX-
pect to reach their destination by the
simple jump of municipal campaign
in which they elect mayor pledged to
that issue.

In T. d. o'Brien the state of Mime.

In T. D. O'Brien the state of Minne-
sofa has an Insurance Commissioner
who reflects credit upon himself and
the state. He has the ability to master
the situation, and the courage and
honesty to work for the peoples in
terest. If all appointments to the pub
lie service were Of the same high
character the peoples interest would
not be neglected.

And the grass on q grave has grown:,
But tits ah! for the gloom
That unfolds the tomb
And tits ah! for our faith when IT,
walks astray
And we grope in our grief alone!
see the torrents Of Curragower
Sweep over their rocky bed,
And I see the stones that records tho
hour
When vow and a lie were wed,
And again I wait
BY old Thomond's gate
orb's state,
Sweeps on thro' the clouds o'erhead:s.
But tits ah! for the days
That have gone their ways;
And tits ah! for their promise to make.
When our pride is bowed instead!
But the passing years for the years.
agone,
For the thoughtless years and vain,
They must do their penance-must,
every one
They must wipe out every stain!
And the man must groan
When his youth has flown,
And the seed of his duty remains IN
Thro' the after years of pain;
But tits ah! for this truth
That eludes our youth,
And tits ah! for our sigh and tits ahg'
for our moan
When it scorches the soul and brainy
But though I am thrust from the shin
ing gates
OF tina. heaven we call Romance
have still my trust in the grim OIL
Fates
And heart for the worst mis-
chance!
And I may but choose
For the plying muse
To change into pearls my grief's gath
er'd dews
With the charm Of her holy glance;
But tits ali! for the thrill
That is missing still
And tits ah! for the shadow that stilE
pursues
AS the ghostly years advance.

not only to those of Irish blood, bu,


to scholars Of every race. Indeed. I'M
til very recently, it was German
scholars who were authority upon the
Gaelic language and literature. Even
those who have been unable to SYM
pathize with Ireland in its struggle
for political freedom may enthusiastic
cally support the Gaelic League. It
is founded not upon hatred Of Eng
land but on love Of Ireland. DR.. Hyde
maintains that large part of Ireland
has ceased to be Irish without becom-
ing English, and to that fact he as
cribes the cause of national failure
individual poverty and lack Of prog
ress. His aim is the regeneration of
people,
Men of Irish birth or ancestry Of
Minneapolis should interest themselves
at once in providing an opportunity
of hearing and meeting the unselfish
and patriotic man who is now fore
most in a movement which promises
the regeneration of a people. He has
for several years given his great tall
ents to the campaign which is now
making so much progress. The effect
Of the work of the Gaelic League is
now felt not only in the larger num-
Der of people who speak the language
but in the greater industrial activity
Of Ireland. The fact that the English
government refuses to allow any por-
ton of the school funds to be applied
to the teaching Of the Gaelic Ian
guage makes it necessary to raise
funds to carry on the educational
work. DR.. Hyde recalls the fact that
Trinity College. Dublin, has chair
for the teaching of Gaelic teachers
which is endowed by 1.-THE Society for
the Conversion Of Irish Papists
Through the Medium of Their Own
Language" Naturally such an educa-
tional institution is not very popular
with people four-fifths of whom are
"Papists." |
We should not be less public spir-
tied than our neighbors in st. Paul.
There are, no doubt, a larger number
in that city of Irish blood but the
proverbial spirit for hustle of Mime
apolis should in measure supply the
lack Of numbers. We hope to see a
movement set on foot at once to bring
DR.. Hyde to our city.
While the question is before us as a
people, the various Irish societies Of
Minneapolis might well take the initia-
tive. That at least would seem to be
in order. So large and influential an
organization as the Ancient Order of
Hibernians of this city and county
will not pass this important matter
by without giving it that consideration
which is justly due it. OF this we
may rest assured, and under it's aus
pieces the proposed meeting can be
carried to IL most successful issue. AS
the meeting in st. Paul is to be held
on the evening of January 31st, but
little time should now be lost in reach
ing active preparations here for q
Minneapolis meeting, which would
naturally be held about the same time.

GEMS STOLEN THIS SEASON.

It has been a most luxurious season in diamonds and other precious stones. for 1t has been said by some one with a passion for statistics that S35O, 900 worth of jewels have been stolen dur ing the season. In fact. in many re- sorts the summer is considered dull without jewel robberies to enliven it. Apparently the wealth of the Indies and the treasure houses has only one object, that of being lost. In Newport in particular society women are con- stantly losing their jewels, and all though they don't all capture their thieves, like Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. it enlivens the summer season. Society women seem to regard the vanishing Of gems-that is, other person's-a most delectable excitement; at least that is the comment of a man who has been taking a birds eye view of Newport and it's ways this summer and his name isn't Henry James. either.-New York Press.
