Railroads Under Federal Control,

Washington.-Com control of
all the railroads Of the country by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
virtual elimination of the state com
missions from such control, is fore
shadowed in an opinion handed down
by the Supreme Court OF the United
States. The court held that hereafter
all equipment used on any railroad
which is a highway of interstate COM
merce, must comply with the federal
safety appliance act In its opinion
the court held that compliance with
the federal law is compulsory on all
railroads engaged in the transportation
of persons or freight from one state
to another. Celebrating this, it held
that the cars or equipment of such
roads, even if engaged in transporta-
tion within the confines Of state,
must be considered as part and parcel
of the road and therefore completely
under the jurisdiction of the federal
commission.

IRELAND's PATRON SAINT.

On Friday, st. Patrick's Day, the
great feast day of Ireland, was cele-
brated in this country by millions of
people-Irishmen and women and
the sons and daughters of the pro-
ducts OF the little Emerald Isle. In
the big cities of the union the day
was celebrated by great %parades, pre-
ceded by mass, and followed by liter
airy and musical exercises, winding
up the night with a grand ball. In
this district the only functions were
the night dances, one in Ely and one
at McGill; but there was a great
show of patriotism in the display of
the green shamrocks in the lapels of
mems coats.
These we're not confined to the de-
s~cendents of the land which was re-
lieved from barbaric splendor by the
missionary and self-sacrificing work
of Ireland's great patron saint. In
the coat of nearly every American
born citizen was the little green
shamrock, st. Patriek's emblem OF
the Trinity; and likewise the emblem
of faith, courage and liberty. The
American heart is ever open, and the
American hand ever ready to strike
