The change in the cabinet front Cas;e ' to Shaw is just pshaw! Simply a ' chan.ee of persons, that is all, txith the successor of Gag payintr that he "can have no higher aim than timt I may he able to continue his work us successfully suc-cessfully as he carried it on." Mr. Michael P. Outran, editor of one of the Irish-American Catholic weekly newspapers the Republic of Hoston has been appointed private secretary to Mayor-elect Collins. The salary in connection with the office is $4.0tM) per annum, and Mr. Curran can eat four ; times a day if he feels like it. The New Year's editions of the Salt ' Lake Herald and Tribune are ponder ous tomes of information about everything every-thing on top and below the earth in ' this intermountain country, from "a" to 'izzard." Next to the temple. Salt Lakes' daily newspapers are the big-- . gcet things to brag about. The Chevenne ministers are urging women to tuke off their hats in church, 1 the same as the state law requires f-ball be done in theatres. Hut that law was enacted to enable patrons to j 'j-x, ' .' observe p rsons on the stap.e; and ther- is nothing else to see in Protest-I Protest-I , f. ant churches but women's hats. i ; : Father Doherty, who will live long in I the. memory of Rutte Catholics, is one jj , V f'' if"' Paulit priests to open a great I X non-Catholic mission in Minneapolis I nc't week. Father Doherty served as : military chaplain in the Philippines v vi,h the ank of captain on General M err! it's Ftaff. He is a man of oom- i fcaodlnff Prceence, a profound thinker and an entertaining, and convincing j f-Teaker. A German editor in New York was arrested this v.-ek for assaulting his wife with a knife. That is bad enough; but now the wife in her complaint charges the editor with being an anarchist an-archist and declaring it would be an honor to do up I 'resident Koosevelt. In some way the newspaper business is to be blamed for accelerating the wheels in a man's head. Nothing is so seriou-5 in life that an Irishman may not be found willing to extract some humor out of it. For example, ex-ample, a Salt Lake Celt when urged to put hi? signature to the peace petition now in circulation in St. Mary's par-I par-I ish, exclaimed: "Peace! 'What do I want, of peace, so long as the Doers are getting the best of the fight?" He is a j Fenian, of course. ! A rumor is in circulation, says the London Catholic and Times, that the Holy Father has expressed a wish that his eminence. Cardinal Vaughan, sl'.fttld be his successor in the Papacy. Such a wish on the part of His Holiness Holi-ness would carry the very greatest weight, hut that it would not be absolutely abso-lutely obligatory is the argument of "L'lnterventfon du Pape dans rejection do son suecesseur," a work from the pen of Abbe Peries, a learned canonist, which has just been published by Roger & Ohermoviz. Taris. It would be I a source of great rejoicing in England and this country were his eminence. Cardinal Vaughan, to become the second sec-ond English Pope. For any sudden emergency that may -suddenly call lop the intervention of our naval power to protect American interests in Venezuela and enforce a 'proper respect for the Monroe doctrine an effective fleet is being assembled in the Caribbean sea. it consists of (be battleships Kearsarge, Alabama. Massachusetts, Mass-achusetts, Illinois and Indiana, with two gunboats and three training ships. These vessls are converging from different- southern ports on the Caribbean and will constitute a squadron never exceeded for aggressive fighting force in the history of the country. There have bee n squadrons composed of more vessels, notably at Manila and off Santiago, San-tiago, but none that ever numbered such an array of battleships. The Kear-sarge, Kear-sarge, Alabama and Illinois are our newest battleships and are unsurpassed as lighting machines. Suits in ouo warranto were brought i in two Ohio counties this week to revoke re-voke the charters of four coal railway companies popularly supposed to be controlled by the Morgan syndicate. The papers were prepared by the attorney attor-ney of the Anti-Trust league. Among the charges is one of conspiracy to limit lim-it the production of coal while increasing increas-ing the price of shipment and the cost to the consumer. Another charge is violation of the state law forbidding combinations in restraint of trade and the consolidation of parallel lines of railroad: and for a third cause of ac tion, evasion of taxation and falsely returned valuations are charged. With such a showing, there should b no trouble m revoking the charters of the off-ndir.g railroads. Hut the chances ! are it v ill not be done, for while the people have the law on their side, the railroads have the lawyers and judges. |
