CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.

Some days ago the writer sat in the
police court Of this city and saw a
young and very inoffensive looking man
charged with cruelty to dog. The man
had been a. conductor upon a street
car in the city and in carrying out the
instructions Of the company as he UNI
derstood them, he threw a dog that
had entered the car over the gates
while the car was in motion. The act
caused such a furore that the COM
pany discharged the man. 1t appeared
on the trial that he had sick wife at
home and that he lived in a part Of a
house for which he was in arrears in
rent. The court fined him $500, which
amount was paid by friend.
In view of all the fuss and noise that
was made about the incident, con-
sidering the number Of outside parties
who interfered and demanded the pun
ishment of the street car conductor.

Found He Was an Irish Saint.

The report of the burning Of st.
Donatus' church, in Jackson county,
Iowa, recalls an incident that occurred
when that church was being built, nearly
so years ago. When it was ready for
dedication, meeting Of the parishion-
ers was held to decide on a patron
saint, after whom it should be called.
The Irish residents proposed the name
Of st. Patrick and the Germans pro-
posed st. Donatus, and they won by a
few votes. A Mr.. Ryan, who was one
Of the opposition, said: 1T is all right:
you have an Irish saint, and we are
satisfied" and they laughed him to
scorn at the idea Of St Donatus being
an 1rishman. Mr.. Ryan went to his
home. brought copy of the Lives of
the Saints. and convinced them that St.
Donatus was, like so many thousands
Of his countrymen, during the sixth.

over from Ireland and spread over a
great part. of Europe, establishing

wherever they went. Some of the Ger
mans wished to recall what they had
done, but the majority stood by st.
Donatus. who was the patron saint of
the section of Germany they came
from.

fold Of the Catholic Church recentlv in
Indianapolis.
MIR. Mitchell, who has been in ill
health for some time, recentlv under-
went a serious operation. He was
in Indianapolis a few weeks ago at
tending the conference Of the miners
and operators, and was engaged in
several long sessions at the Claypool
Hotel. On a Friday afternoon while
addressing the conference at the Clay
pool. Mr.. Mitchell was suddenly seized
with an attack and was taken to his
room in the hotel. While his friends
were hurrying for doctor. Mr.. Mitchell
said it was more important to get a
priest, and at his request, the Rev.
+. H. Gavisk Of st. Johns church was
sent for. Father Gavisk was not at
the parochial house at the time but
Father Killian responded to the call.
He was soon at the bedside of Mr..
Mitchell who was baptized and re-
ceived into the Church and prepared
for death. Mr.. Mitchell asked Father
Killian at once to notify his wife by
telegram that he had received the rites
of the Church.
In the afternoon Mr.. Mitchell rail-
lied from his attack and his prysi-
clans expressed the hope that he
! would recover, but absolutely forbade
him to undertake any work III connec-
ton with his duties as president of

Catholic, has been leaning towards

coming Catholic at an early date.

ploy of the E. s. Eddy Woodenware
company, remaining there until 1871,
when he came to Peshtigo. where he
was employed by the Peshtigo COM

time caught fire, when he took it off

HILL THE BUILDER.

The speech of James !. Hill before
the Minneapolis Real Estate Board and
it's guests shows the deep and far
reaching grasp that the railroad build
er of the Northwest has upon financial
questions. Mr.. Hill is interesting to
his hearers not alone for what he says
but because they recognize that he
has been a part and parcel of the
growth and development of the North
west. Mr.. Hill came to st. Paul when
there was no railroad. He worked
upon the docks Of the Mississippi river
when that waterway was the only con-
nection between the scattered pioneers
and the rest of the country. From
that time to this he has had faith in
the possibilities of the great North
west. He built his railroad from Min
nesota to tile Pacific sea coast at a
time when the public in general be-
lieved that the country through which
it passed would never Justify the ex-
penditure Of money. Mr.. Hill thought
otherwise and today where a few years
ago there was but single line of steel
vending its lonely way across the
plains, over mountains, and through
unbroken forests for distance of more
than 1000 miles, there is now a perfect
network Of railroads shooting their
branches into every nook and corner
and carrying the harvest Of grain, and
cattle, and lumber, and ore to the
markets Of the world.
Mr.. Hill, all through his active life,
has been an optimist. He believed in
himself, in the old pioneers, and in
the pioneer country. His faith has
been justified. Unquestionably no has
been the greatest single factor in the
Immense development. In former
years he never allowed opposition to
foil his plans; He might have been

numbered but he has never been OBJ
structed. Doubtless he was often
bothered. but IL so it was not his Gus
tom to complain,
Mr.. Hill is getting old and his in
tensely interesting speech was some
what marred by the expression of ir-
ritation that he feels at the attitude
taken by our state toward railroads
In his younger and more vigorous years
he would not have complained. The
people Of the Northwest are not op-
posed to Mr.. Hill. The farmers Of the
great Northwest, through which the
Great Northern railroad runs, have on
different occasions been made to fee,
that their prosperity was inseparably
connected with the prosperity of the
Great Northern railroad. The agita-
ton in recent years has been directed
not against great builders and de-
velopers like Mr.. Hill. but against
stock jobbers like Hartman. The life
OF James j. Hill has been spent in
building railroads, in opening up coun-
try to settlers and civilization. The
work of men like Hartman consists in
manipulating railroad stocks so that
one man or one set of men have be-
come rich at the expense of another
set. The difference between Mr.. Hill
and some other railroad magnates, So
called. is the difference between a man
who works hard, earns money and has
the foresight and ability to so invest
that money that 1t benefits him. and
those with whom he deals, and the
mere gambler who. without producing
or doing anything except to create a
condition which enables him to f1lcll
money from others which he uses fol-
his own benefit and the destruction OF
those with whom lie deals. Mr.. Hill
should not despair. The people of the
Northwest are not his enemies. They
appreciate his work

There is such q unaninity and en-

would at the same time not cndanger

AMBASSADOR REID ON SCHOOLS

Ill d recent speech before tile New
York Teachers Association, Ambassa-
dor Reid expressed the opinion that
the American schools were superior to
the English schools in equipment cur
rlcuum and support. but that our
schools are inferior to the English in
teaching good manners, orderly be-
havior. respect for authority, and the
elementary morals of a Christian civil
ization. Tendencies in American life
offer cumulative evidence in support
of the observations of Mr. Reid. There
is an absence of respect for authority
That can only be accounted for on the
basis that children grow up without
any regard for the authority Of parent,
priest or teacher. Catholics have main
tanned that it is necessary to teach re-
ligion and morals to children. Mr..
Reid is not sure that in our efforts to
avoid sectarianism and in our exclu-
sion of religion and ethics from our
schools, we have not. unconsciousy
but surely, made inevitable a genera
ton that has less respect for law than
earlier Americans had.
Our treatment of the child is not
conducive to good citizenship. Instead
of learning respect for law and re-
ligion in schools, the very opposite is
taught. He learns in school that re-
ligion must not be mentioned and
from that fact he can hardly avoid the
conclusion that religion is not only not
necessary but it is something which
our institutions do not favor. He
learns that the teacher has no power
to enforce rules and regulations, for
if the teacher attempts to administer
punishment complaint to the parents
or school board brings a reprimand to
the teacher and perhaps discharge.
The result of this lack Of training is
plainly apparent in every relation of
American life. 1t has resulted in the
loosening Of family ties. The true re-
idtioI VI iIittSIcT ana servant llO
longer exists. The old time sense of
duty and obligation toward Church and
State has been destroyed. There is no
respect for law because it is law. The
grip of conscience no longer keeps peo-
pie in order. The whip of the law,
which was formerly only necessary for
the wretch, is now the only force which
keeps people in order. Is it any Won
der that in a country, whose school
system permits school children to go
on a strike against teachers, there are
strikes of the grown-ups when law and
law officers are trampled under feet?
Much of our trouble in this country is
to be accounted for by the fact that
men and women fail to get the train
Ing they should have received when
they were children. Failure to teach
and enforce law. respect, and obedience
In the school and the home has borne
its legitimate fruits. The boy who
fails to get from parent or teacher a
sense of law is prone to become law
less when he grows up.

BRYAN OUR CHOICE.


Mr.. Bryan has announced his will
lingness to lead the Democratic party
in the campaign of 1905 That an
nouncement, we believe, settled the
presidential nomination so far as the
Democratic party is concerned. His
nomination is as certain as anything
political can be. Other prominent
Democrats are now being named in
connection with the nomination. but so
far as results are concerned this talk
means nothing.
The announcement of MIR. Bryan set
tied the question. He will be nominated
because he unquestonably more nearly
represents the aggregate of Democratic
thought and sentiment than any other
living Democrat. He will be nominal
ed because he enjoys the confidence
and esteem of Democratic voters, not
of any one state or section. but of the
country as a. whole. He will be NOM
mated because the very logic of tho
times demands the nomination.
There can be no doubt that lie rep
resents Democratic sentiment No man
twice defeated, without any political
patronage to dispense. without the aid
Of h political staff or organization of
any kind could, after twelve years of
constant public scrutiny, by a mere an
nouncement OF his willingness to lead,
summon great party to his standard
unless he represented In a peculiar
way the thought of that party. Sam
Democratic party produced since the
Civil War, after a successful fight
against the corrupt rings in New York
and after he was really elected Presi-
dent and shamefuly cheated out Of the
office, could not. by merely being a.
passive candidate in 1880, receive an
other nomination. What was not with
in the grasp of Tilden can easily DO
accomplished by Bryan.
ltiL lle 6llJOSS lllc eSleSHl dIlu CuIlu-
dence of Democratic voters is evil
denced by the fact, that us q private
citizen he receives everywhere he goes
receptions such as usually are accord
cd only to standard bearers in the heat
of political campaigns. Mr.. Bryan jig
no longer a stranger to the American
people. They do not go to hear him
out of curiosity. Since lie left Con-
gress he has not won political victory
or placed a man in public office. His
following is due To the respect which
people have for him.
The logic of the times will make Bry-
an a candidate. President Roosevelt,
has gained his popularity by advo-
eating aud putting into practice many
of Mr.. Bryan's principles. President
Roosevelt has made enemies Of
those who have been Mr.. Bryan's enc
mics since 1896. II the Republican par
ty cannot elect a candidate who is OPP
posed to the policies of President
Roosevelt. what is the logical thing
for tho Democratic party to do? If
there is any consistency left in the
party ii cannot refuse to nominate the
man who. twelve years ago, made the
issues which are today uppermost
in the minds of the American people.
Mr.. Bryan is a political leader in the
truest and best sense. His place has
been gained, not by his ability to win
office and place followers in positions
Of power and wealth, but because he
represents the thoughts and aspirations
of fully eight millions Of voters.
