AN IRISH AMERICAN SCULPTOR.

In the struggle after fame in the arts. few there
who possess the gift of originality and the pow
er to execute. Sometimes reputation succeeds one
masterpiece. which is recognized by critics who IN
hestatingly confer the title of genius upon the IN
suspecting master and his name stands forever
among the great names of the world. On the other
hand, men produce many superior pieces of work
which give them international regulations among
connoisseurs. but they remain forever among the
vast army of mediocrity. Among the many strug
Cling artists who are now working in Paris, prob
ably none has worked with greater success than An
drew OConnor, whose talents are recognized as I'M
usual and whose work is witness of his rare ability
as a sculptor. O'Connor was born in Worcester,
Mass. thirtytwo years ago. of Irish parentage, and
early in life was employed with his father in the
more or less unattractve work of cutting out grave
yard decorations from stone. His ability with the
chisel early brought him much admiration and the
opportunity to perfect himself in his art in foreign
countries. Before he went abroad, however. he pro-
duced some decorations for st. Bartholomew
church, New York, which showed the latent posi-
bilities which he is now developing. The critics
predict great future for O'Connor. and we can but
add the expression of confidence we feel in the
young mans future success based upon his success
full past and the racial tendency stick to what he
attempts which is his inheritance.

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION.

In view of the widespread graft and corruption
which infest most of the governments of our larger
cities and the proof of ineieiency developed by the
system of government by political parties, it will
not be surprising if the idea of municipal commits
sion as it has been tried in number of cities. Gal
weston and Houston particularly, should grow III
popularity and develop into very wide use. The
commission system practiced in these Texas cit
les has had for its object the bettenent of the GOV
eminent by eliminating the curse of ward politics
from what is essentially the business of the com
munity. Ward lines are abolished and the people
vote for all the aldermen or commissioners and the
mayor. In so far graft and extravaganza are the
result of ward politics, it is eectualy eliminated
and the field of the CRATER is so wdened as to make
the work of organizing his forces much diff
cult of accomplishment The concentrated respon-
sibility obtained makes it easier for the people to
put their finger any official guilty of wilful ex
travagance and the results accomplished seem so
satisfactory that there can be little doubt other
towns will try it relief from the graftinfested
system in use today.
The idea of course, is more or less experimental
In its conception it was intended to strike at the
root of graft and thus eradicate it. The plan has
passed the experimental stage in the Texas towns
mentioned, and the people there quite generally real
ize that they getting more for their money than
they ever did before. 1t has redeemed and regene-
rated the municipal affairs simply by injecting Il
little honesty of administration and business meth
DDS to replace the graft. The people now pay for
improvements what they cost, the tribute formerly
used to enrich the boss and furnish substance for
ward heelers remaining in the taxpayers pockets.
Whatever may be the ultimate result of the COM
mission government it affects the destiny of
American cities that try it plainly it offers change
and should be welcomed BY the people who pay the
bills if it should put few politicians to the
necessity of going to work for living.

TWO FUNERAL ORATIONS.

Bishop Conaty's funeral Grafton the r.
mains of Father Ubach was submely grand and pa
thetic The subject was deserving of the highest
praise for his zeal, piety and charity There was
no attempt or labored effort TO present the illus
trious subject otherwise than a simple, self
rifcing, aborious priest, who gave his youth,
hood and old age TO God. The narrative of the good
priests life told in the simplest and most touch
ing words. and in such a manner that it could not
fail to impress those who heard it. We deeply
impressed by reading it. We refer to it because we
read only few months ago the funeral Grafton of
the same distinguished prelate over the remains of
the late Archbishop Montgomery, who the most
universally beloved churchman and citizen in Cali
forna. As such his life. labors zeal and piety were
depicted by Bishop Conaty, but we must confess that
the plain, simple utterances, the outpouring of the
heart of the learned and eloquent prelate over the
simple priest affected US much than his grand
and intellectual Grafton delivered over Archbishop
Montgomerys remains On both occasions he paid
high tribute to the illustrious dead. said all that
could be said, but for lasting impression and an
appeal to the heart the funeral Grafton over Father
Ubach will be remembered by priests and the laity
when that delivered on the occasion of Archbishop
Montgomery's funeral will be forgotten.

THE PARTY PRINCIPLES.

| The suggestion coming from John Temple
Graves of Atlanta in an address at Chattanooga to
| have Mr.. Bryan nominate President Roosevelt as
the Democratic candidate for president at the next
Democratic convention shows the wonderful hold
Mr.. Roosevelt has upon the minds of his erstwhe
political opponents, and emphasizes in peculiar
way the suggestion made in these columns month
ago that the people combine to elect men-not par
tisan politicians-to public Office and that Bryan
and Roosevelt would make strong popular ticket,
representing far nearly the ideals of the peo-
pie of the country than party partisan ticket could
hope to do.
Fearless and honest men in the public service are
more to be desired than politicians hedged about
with thousand and one petty party leaders whose
object is to exploit the people for private gain.
What is Democrat or Republican, anyway? Ard
what are the doctrines principles on which they
base their claims for political preferment! The
president was beyond doubt the candidate of the
Republican party, but every vote in the house Of
representatives against the rate BILL of the pres
ldent's measures that of Republican. And
the Republicans killed the Philippine tariff bill, and
they had to be cajoled and whipped into line for the
pure food bill. Democratic members of congress
have actively supported the president, while Repub-
lican members have as actively obstructed the work
Of reform.
In these latter days of rapid communication and
unbiased press reports the American people are los
ing much of the credulity which has in former times
enslaved them to some political party. They are
learning that partysm and graft Siamese twins;
neither would exist without the other. Only the
benefciares of the perqusites of political office and
those narrow-minded voters who prefer yellow
dog to a man of opposite political faith to guard
public business engulfed in the insane notion
that party patriotism is essential to the welfare of
themselves and the nation
As an illustration of the unreasonableness of
American politics, we will suppose that Texas and
Pennsylvania should have the opportunity to vote

states money the conditions being essentially the
same, the Republican party advocating the issue III
both states Would any one doubt the ability of the
Democrats to carry Texas or the Republicans to

HOW LONG?

Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular an organ
published in the interest of the liquor trade, in COM
menting the growing sentiment against the sa-
loon as evidenced by legislation placing prohibitiye
licenses on the business and giving the people an
option in the matter, says that "the liquor trade
must either mend its ways materially or be prohib-
tied in all places save the business and tenderoin
precincts of our large cities" Why the Circular
makes the exception noted is not plain for the his
tory of crime-from thievery and murder to poti-
cal corrupton-shows no districts where the pernic-
ious influences of the trade active. 1t is in
the tenderoin where the police departments of our
cities are corrupted, where the drtiest politics is
prscticed control the vote of which districts the
good name and virtue of our great American cities
bartered away. These are, indeed the first
places where the crime should be attacked notwth-
standing the comforting assurance of the Circular
that these places may be saved" to the trade.
That the saloon is doomed to extinction is as
