ter and as historic as the fight which
President Cleveland had with Congress
over the tariff question in his second
administration. The President seems
to be very much in earnest in his de-
nand for four ships, while the Senate
appears to be equally set on sustain
ing the action of it's naval committee,
which has decided for two silips. The
Republican leaders in the Senate, such
as Aldrich, Hale and Allison arc fight :
ing as hard to defeat the demands of
the President as Senator German
fought against Cleveland's tariff bill.
The younger Republican Senator's are
with the President and the bulance of
power seems to rest with The Demo-
cratic senators. Senator C.llberson has
not intimated what his position is but
he is known to be in favor of large
navy and a small army.

"Will you kindly grant :. Democrat
from away back little space in which
to warn his brother Democrats Of a
dangerous pitfall?" writes NJ. r. Grat-
tan of Preston, Fillmore county, this
state. 1T is covered and grassed over
by clever. dexterous hands that lack
not for experience. An alluring sign
invites us to gather over it's yawnins
depths as did similar sign four years
ago. Then it was the unprecedented
majority given Alton B. Parker for
supreme judge in New York Now it
is the majority given John A. johnson
for governor of Minnesota The people
who voted for Judge Parker to adorn
the bench thought differently of him
for president. The rccalcitrant Repub-
licans who made John A. Johnson gov
ernor will not vote to make him presi-
dent, and there are not enough of us
simon pure Democrats to carry every
state for him. Gov. John A. johnson
is just as fine man as Judge Parker.
They are both fine men whose superior
qualities of head and heart attracted
the same elegant gentlemen. The skill
full hunters who rig the trap to lure
plain, honest Democrats to destruction
care nothing for Johnson, they only
want d stalking horse to coax unwary
Democrats onto the trap and drop
them. Tho question is. shall we be
trapped? A hundred times l say no.!
The men who are using their seductive
wiics with johnson are the men who
hate Roosevelt, who hate Bryan. who
hate La Toilette. They want a presi-
dent who will not interfere with the
gathering of wealth by process of law,
Il man who is safe and sane. This
class hated Lincoln. they hated Jack
son. they hated Jefferson. Every great
commoner earns their animosity and
his crucifixtion is sought Will the
Democrats Of Minnesota aid in cruelty
ing Bryan"

CARDINAL LoGuE.

Cardinal Loguc. Archbishop OF Arm
aSll, and Primatc of all Ireland. who
is attending the Catholic Centenary In
New York, is the one hundred. and
fourteenth successor to st. Patrick in
an unbrolScn succcssion covering ono
F.! thousand five :iundrcd years. He was
introduced by Archbishop Farley as
the foremost citizen of Ireland That
Introduction stated a literal truth. No
man in Ireland has an influence with
the Irish people approaching that cx-
crciscd by the Irish Cardinal.
In an interview with New York pa
per, he expressed the opinion that the
tariff policy in the United States was
detrimental to Ireland. Il really be-
licve," nc said, that you in this coun-
try could help us by a revision of your
tariff. Numerous merchants complain
that they cannot export their products
to America with profit. 1t would be a
great help to the country if products
could be sent to America at a reason
able nroft. The merchants would be
encouraged and there would at least be
some cessation of the present dullncss
in the fcw industrial institutions that
remain with us"
Cardinal Loguc has little hope of
Home Rule for Ireland in tho near flu
turc, but he expressed himself as
heartily in favor Of the efforts being
made by the Irish Nationalist party.
THE representatives of Ireland" he
said, "in the English Commons are do
ing nobly. They have secured. by hard
fighting, certain measures that have
been beneficial. They deserve support
and trust the Irish in America will
continue supporting them 1t is bet
ter to fight and gain a little than to
stand idly by and get nothing"
The influence of the Catholic clergy
in Ireland has never been understood
III tnlS country. Inc cflClGlSm is ire
quently made that the Irish in Ireland
are ruled by the clergy. The statement
is true. but instead of being considered
adverse criticism. it should be put
down to the credit of both the clergy
and the people Of Ireland. The con-
test in Ireland is not purely political
by the parties representing different
political ideas in reference to purely
political issues. but it is contest to
| free an enslaved and Impoverished peo-
pie: contest to open up for the Irisl,
people in the mother country the same
opportunities which Irish immigrants
find in other countries. In such a con-
test the Irish clergy would be recreant
to their duty if they did not place
themselves at the head of their people
In the United States the Catholic
clergy carefully refrain from taking
any part in political contests. Ireland
presents an entirely different situation

One r. B. Lynch, representing him
self to be from Minnesota. is going
about the country giving cut inter-
views which indicate that he would
make good man to prepare mining
prospectus or to write up real estate
advertising. If Minnesota Democrats
do not want to make themselves RI
diculous, Lynch ought to be enticed
back home. Perhaps the excitement
around that Chicago headquarters at
tending the recent great Johnson boom
in the state of Illinois, has somewhat
. thrown Mr.. Lynch off his balance but
the trouble is that outsiders may think
that all Minnesota Democrats arc in
/ the same fix. We ought to get him
home.

Tho Year Without a Summer,

NinctytWo years ago. or the year Of
1916, there was sharp frost in every
month, and people all over the world
began to believe that some great and
definite change in the earth was tax
ing place. The farmers used to refer
to it as eighteen hundred and starve
to DEATH"
January was mild, as was also Feb
ruary. with the exception of few days.
The greater part of March was cold
and boisterous. April opened warm,
but grew colder as it advanced. ending
with snow and ice and winter cold. In
May ice formed half an inch thick.
buds and flowers were frozen and corn
killed. Frost, ice and snow were COM
mon in June. Almost every green
thing was killed. and the fruit was
nearly all destroyed Snow fell to the
depth of three inches in New York and
Massachusetts, and ten inches in Maine.
July was accompanied with frost and
ice. On the 5th ice was formed of the
thickness of window glass in New York.
New England and Pennsylvania. and
corn was nearly all destroyed in GER
tain sections. In August ice formed
half an inch thick. cold northern
wind prevailed nearly all summer The
first two weeks of September were
mild. the rest of the month was cold
with frost. and ice formed a quarter
of an inch thick. October was more
than usually cold, with frost and ice.
November was cold and clustering,
with snow enough for good sleighing.
December was quite mild and comfor-
table.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald from Cleveland. Ohio. writes as
follows: Il am a Republican and a
constant reader of your pap,r for more
than twenty years. and I want to make
prediction that there is nc. Repub-
lican mentioned that can carry New
York state against Bryan, except Roose
welt. and there was never president
elected that los. New York" The pre-
diction may be good ona, but it is
! followed by a false conclusion. There
have been several presidents elected
/ who lost New York. Without going
back of the Civil War. General Grant
was elected in 1868. but he lost the
state of New York to Horatio Seymour.
Hayes was declared elected as the re-
suit of the election in November. 1876
..but he lost New York to T;lden by q
large majority.

that time there was large portion of

been abused and his people attacked.

take his stand and to influence his

The New York Herald gives us the
surprising information that New
York's uninstructcd delegation is not
for Governor Johnson. but for William
j. Bryan. None except those who al
low themselves to be fed upon the
stuff which the Republican press bu-
reau is daily turning out ever sup
posed that the New York delegation
was committed against Bryan. New
York's delegation might have been
found opposed to Bryan al Denver if
Bryan were not in control oe the con-
vention. There Is no danger of Charles
r. Murphy adopting the methods of the
blundering amateurs who arc in control
of Governor Johnson's interest.

SAINTS NAMES.
Our Fleet Found Them All Along the
South American Coast,

south American Coast.
| Americas debt to Catholics is con.
didly shown in the following specia
dispatch, which appeared in the Com,
mcrcial Tribune:
New York. April 5.-South America
is a continent of saints
| Geography has been one of the les
sons taught by the cruise Of the great
fleet from Hampton Roads to Sar
Francisco, and Americans, in following
the ships from day to day. in the news
and tracing their course on maps, have
learned more about South America
than they ever knew before.
Among the lessons taught have beer
the names of places. and a strong inn
preston has been made by the num-
Der of times that San" is a prefix tc
places.
Sometimes we see the prefix trans
lated into Saint" but in South Ameri-
ca the Spanish form is used.
There are SIT places on that con-
tinent named after saints Of the Cath
olic Church. and the South Europe cal.
endar has been nearly exhausted.
1t is seldom that the name of a saint
appear over and over again in every
country and in every part Of each
country.
They are inland, on the shores, or
the islands and in the water at every
point. The traveller can not get away
from them on sea or land.
They appeared on the charts of the
fleet at every principal point on the
long journey around the continent.
Where Brazil juts into the Atlantic
the sixteen ships had to head east
ward to safety around Cape st. Rogue
and, as the charts were studied on the
southwark voyage, there were always
Saints in sight.
Near Bahia in San Salvador and at
the harbor Bahia. de Todos or Santos
or All Saints Bay.
So it is all the way until San Mich
olas Bay is passed through in the
Strait Of Magellan.
1t is the same way up the west coast
Saint after Saint, the principal ones
being Cape San Antonio, on the coast
of Chile; San Filipe, the capital of
Aconcagua, and others not so familiar
until Santiago Bay, on the south side
Of the Isthums of Panama, is reached
Santiago, derived from San Iago, or
st. James, who is the patron saint OF
Spain, is naturally favorite in Span
times in the geography of South
America.
San Antonio is another favorite
name, appearing in the entire length
of the continent, applied to gulf cape
mountain, port, province, town. and
every possible place, being repeated 26
times.
San Juan is met in every direction
appearing 36 times, with San Jose only
little behind, being given to 80
places.
San Pedro comes next, affixed to 20
places. and San Miguel is used only
one time less.
San Francisco is used 25 times, and
other saints whose names are used =
half dozen times or more are San
Fernando, San Diego. San Cristobala
and San Augustine.

BRIDE CAUSED A STRIKE.
American Girl Satisfied Her Curiosity
in Spite of Mexican Miners,

American Girl Satisfied Her Curiosity
in Spite Of Mexican Miners.
The persistence of a bride in sat.
isfying her curiosity and the super.
stition of Mexican miners" said a
Washington man with mining inter.
ests in Mexico, caused in Mexico
what was perhaps one of the queerest
strikes on record.
'It was at the Jesus Maria Anex.
as silver mine in Sinaloa, not far
from the capital, Culiacan. The su.
perintendent of the mine is an Ameri.
can, and he had just returned from
his wedding trip, his bride being an
American young woman.
"She was greatly interested in the
outside workings of the mine and
wanted to inspect the underground
operations. There is an old supersti
tion among the native Mexican miners
that if a woman enters a mine where
they are at work some disaster is sure
10 follow.
The superin -endent was aware OF
this feeling among the miners, OF
whom several hundred were at work
in this mine under his charge, and
on the strength of 1t he tried to in
duce his bride to forego her wish to
go underground. She ridiculed the
superstition and insisted that she be
shown through the mine, and her
husband gave way and took her
down.
AS he had feared, CONSERVATION
seized the miners as they saw the
dreaded intrusion, and as the word
went round among them they desert
ed the mine like rats leaving a sink
ing ship. For three days they struck
against going back into it, and 1t was
net until the parish priest was In
duced to go through all the shafts
md tunnels and sprinkle them with
oily water that they would venture
return to their work.

FIorlda's Big Spring.

No state in the Union has larger OF
more spring than Florida. Many OF
them form good sized streams from
the start and some of them are navi-
gable. The largest spring in the state
and one Of the largest and probably
the best known in the United States
is Silver spring, which is located six
miles east of Ocala.
The spring forms the source of the
Oklawaha river, a tributary of the
st. Johns, and steamboats, traverSing
the river enter the spring basin
which has an area Of several acres
The water is from twenty-five to thir-
ty feet deep and is wonderfully clear
appearing absolutely devoid Of color
