10000 men We're employed to do the
work of 1000. While in 1904 only
5000 persons received poor relief. in
1906 nearly 23,6Oo persons-onc-t third
of the population-were supported by
public charity. The municipal theater
expended $4,000 a year more than it's
receipts. Milk was sold in the poor
parts Of the town for cents a litrc
that cost the municipality cents. In
three years the building trade fell off
80 per cent, and the local customs de-
creased 50 per cent. ce-fourths OF
a surplus of 100000 in the city's treas
ury when the Socialists came into
power, have disappeared and no one
can tell what became of the money.
At the last election the Socialists
gave up control of the city and the
new administration will have job
to rescue it from bankruptcy Consid-
cradle time must clapsc before tho
town can expect to be once more pros
porous. But it will be longer before
it forgcts its experience with Social

Emancipation came. You admit
that it was I who brought it about.
The year before emancipation, though
wearing a stuff gown and belonging
to the outer Bar. my professional emol-
uments exceeded GS,OOO-an amount
never before realized in ireland in the
same space of time by an outer bar
ristcr.
Had l adhered to my profession l
must soon have been called within
the Bar. and obtained the preccdency
Of a silk gown The severity of my
labor would have been at once much
mitfgated. whilst the emolumcnts
would have been considerably in
creased. I could have done a much
greater variety Of business with less
toll. and my professional income must
have necessarily been augmented by
probably one-half.
IT l had abandoned politics. even
the honors of my profession and it's
highest stations lay fairly before me.
But ] dreamed I; day-dream-was it
dream?-that Ireland still wanted
me; that although the Catholic aris-
tocracy and gentry of Ireland had OBJ
tanned most voluable advantages from
emancipation. yet the benefits of good
government had not reached the great
mass of the Irish people, and could not
reach them unless the Union should be
either made a realty-or unless that
hideous measure should be abrogated.

FROM THE IRON RANGE

Eveleth, Minn., Jan. 15.-The new
administration got into the harness last
Tuesday night with Major Mike Max
we'll in the chair. Judge Prince de-
livered a very instructive talk on mat
ters municipal and received the closest
attention of his hearers, who filled the
council chambers. M. j. Doyle was
chosen president of the council. Judge
Prince presented him with gavel and
a few happy remarks, for which the
Judge is noted. 1t goes without saying
that President Doyle will WELD the
gavel in a manner that will give satis-
faction to his colleagues. He is we'll

pointee is practical in his line. The
patrolmen arc Tim Welch. John

1 did not hesitate as to my course.

l did not hesitate as to my course.
My former success gave me personal
advantages which no other man could
easily procure. flung away the pro-
fession-I gave its emoluments to the
winds-I closed the vista of it's honors
and dignities-I embraced the cause of
my country! and-come veal or come
woe-l have made a choice at which
l have never repined-nor ever shall
repent.
An event occurred which 1 could not
nave foresecn. Once more high pro-
fessional promotion was placed within
my reach. The office of Lord Chief
Baron of the Exchequcr became va
cant. l was offered it. Or, had pre-
ferred the Office of Master of the Rolls,
the alternative was proposed to me.
1t was tempting offer. Its value was
enhanced by the manner in which it
was made, and pre-emincntly so by
the person through whom it was made
the best Englshman that Ireland
ever saw-the Marquis of Normandy.
But 1 dreamed again a day dream,
was 1t dream?-and I refused the
offer. And here am | now tainted
even by you-with mean and sordid
motives.
I do not think 1 am guilty of the
least vanity when 1 assert that no man
ever made greater sacrifices to what
he deemed the cause of his country
than I have done. I care not how 1
may be ridiculed or maligned. 1 feel
the proud consciousness that no pub
lie man has made more, or greater,
or more ready sacrifice.
Still there fingers behind one source
of vexation and sorrow; one evil, per-
llaps greater than all the rest; ont
claim, I believe, higher than any other
upon the gratitude of my countrymen.
1t consists in the bitter, the virulent,
the mercenary, and therefore the more
envenomed hostility towards ME which
my love for Ireland and for liberty
has provoked. What taunts, what re-
proaches, what calunnies have ! not
sustained? What modes of abuse,
what vituperation, what slander have
been exhausted against me! What
Walls of bitterness have been poured
on my head! What coarseness of lam
guage has not been used, abused and
worn out in assailing me? What de-
rogatory appellation has been spared?
What treasures of malevolence have
been expended? What follies have not
been imputed? III fact, what crimes
have l not been charged with?
l do not believe I ever had in pri-
vate life an enemy. l know that had
and have many, very many warm, cor
dial, affectionate, attached friends. Yet
here 1 stand. beyond controversy the
most and best abused man i'll the uni
versal world And, to cap the climax
of calumny, you come with lath
at your side instead of the sword of
Talbot, and you throw Peers scurrility
along with your own into my cup of
bitterness.
All this have I done and suffered
for Ireland. And let her be grateful
or .ungrateful-solvent or insolvent-
he who insults me for taking her pay
wants the vulgar elements of morality
which teach that the laborer is worthy
of his hire: he wants the higher SEN
sations of the soul which enable one to
perceive that there are services which
bear no comparison with money, and
can never be recompensed with pecun-
larry rewards.
Yes: AMI say it proudly am
the hired servant of Ireland; and II
glory in my servitude.

Faced Brace Of Guns.

When Sheriff Frank Hurd and Depu-
ty Sheriff Thomas H. Garrison went to
Fort Washington, this county, few
days ago, for the purpose Of dispossess-
ing Joseph H. Arnold. the proprietor OF
a saloon there, they ran against a stern
er man than they had anticipated.
Arnold had been placed in possession
after a man named Gibbons had been
ousted. Gibbons then went to law, and
Justice Cox ordered that Arnold give
him possession. Armed with an ex-
cerpt from the courts docket, the Off
GERS went to Fort Washington, and
would probably have gotten Arnold out
had he not displayed two guns. Arnold
told the officers that their papers were
not in proper form. The officers con-
suited, and decided that Arnold might
be in the right, and it would be a dan
gerous thing to attempt to possession OF
the place by force.
Accordingly they withdrew, and after
consulting counsel and having proper
papers signed by Chief Judge John P.
Briscoe, the officers again went to Fort
Fort Washington. Arnold, it is stated,
again declared his intention of disre-
garding the order. He was leaning
over his bar when this statement was
made, but Sheriff Hurd was too quick
for him, The officer pinned Arnold's
arms to the counter and Deputy Garri-
son flashed a gun in his face and warn
ed him-to resist would prove harmful.
Arnold accompanied the officers to this
county, where charge of assault was
lodged against him. On witt Of haoeas

ed him -GaZetto
