RALPH ENTITLED TO FAIR HEARING. *Until it has been conclusively proven that George A. Ralph; the state engineer, bas been remiss in his duties as the inspector of state drains, there will be many persons, in this pari of the state at least, who will insist that any reflection upon the competence or integrity of | Mr. Ralph is an injustice. We quote from the International Falls Press: | “As far as we areable ‘o0 jidge th State Drainage Commission through its engineer, Geo. A. Ralph has been diligently endeavoring to over come the many difficulties that arise in digging ditches through a floating bog where the muskeg per- sits in sliding into the ditch behind the dredge. “Wherever these difficulties arise, as far as weare able to judge, the only way todo is that which the| drainage Commission is doing, which is to allow the water to drain off and’ then gn back over the work when the earth has had a chance to settle and put the ditchesin proper form, when this is done we are sure that no one will have cause for com- plaint. “The hope of Koochiching county is drainage and road building and we very much fear that if the good work of the State Drainage Com mission along these lines in our county is misrepresented it will have a tendency to prevent further appropriations in carrying out this i~portant work.” The Press makes a good point and the same’ argument can just as wisely be applied to Beltrami county as to Koochiching. ARCHBISHOP RYAN. In the passing of Rev. Patrick John Ryan, archbishop of Phila- delphia and metropolitan. of Pen- nsylvania, at the arch Episcopal residence in Philadalphia, Jast Satur- day, a bright light fades from Ameri- can Roman Catholicism and the country loses the kind of a patriot of which the United States is proud. Particularly appropriate is this eulogy from the eloquent tongue of Archbishop Ireland: “In the death of Archbishop Ryan, the Catholic hierarchy of America, sees the blotting from its rank of one of its noblest figures. Endowed by nature with splendid talents, that succeeding years made the brighter and the richer, allowed along episcopate in which to put them to profit, he rose high among his colleagues in dignity of bearing, effectiveness of work and width of religious and moral influence. To- gether with being a great church- man he was a great citizen of the republic, loving profoundly his country and always ready to do its service. America with good reason mourns his death,”—Archbishop John Ireland. Archbishop Ryan was considered the greatest of the line -of bishops and archbishops that have occupied the Episcopal See since its erection in1808. He was one of the fore-|. most pulpit orators in the Catholic church in this country. The Archbishop was born in Thurles, county of Tipperary, Ire- land, oo February 20, 1831. His parents died when he was very young and his youthful education was received from the Christian Brothers at Arles. He studied at Carlow Seminary and later came to this country, going to St. Louis where he was appointed a professor In Carondelet Seminary. On Sep- tember 8, 1853, he was ordained a priest. In 1856 he was made rector of the Si. Louis Cathedral and -four years later was placed in charge of the church of the Enunciation. In 1872, Father Ryan was consecra ed coadjutor bishop of St. Louis with the right of succession and in 1884 he was appointed archbishop of Philadelphia, T.

The grandfather was boasting to a visitor one day, as grand- fathers will, about the family he had raised. “My daughter Martha is a fine young ‘woman,” he said, “and her little boy, Peter Augustus, is a fine lad, But the finest thing about that pair-is the af- fection that exists between them. Mhey never exchange a cross word. h’hey're more like two- young lovers than mother and son. It's beautiful to see them together. Hold on a min- ute, an@ I'll- call Peter Augustus in. ‘Then his mother will come down, and you can see their relations for your- self.” The old man rose and ambled heavily to the door. There was a beatific smile on his old'face. Little Peter Augustus was playing with the cat in the gar- den. ¢ “Peter Augustus!” he shouted. “Pe ter Augustus! Your mother wante you!” ! The little boy dropped the cat and fixed a searching glance on his grand- father. < “Your mother wants you, Peter, Au- gustus!” “Does she want to warm me?” Pe- ter Augustus cautiously demanded.

One day a summer visitor lingering in Mr. Pratt’s ocery, provision ‘end dry goods: es- tablishment mentioned some of the || | shining lights who had made them- selves’ remembered in and near Boston and others still to be found there. “We've had a good many smart men and women in and around our city,” said the visitor, “and there are a num- ber of them left.

The barp, the violln, the piano are fine in their way—in some respects finer than. the organ—but as an all round instru- ment for the expression of the nobler feeling of the ‘soul the ‘organ is-easily irst. It may be called the royal in- stroment. it, and it alone, seems. to be able to voice the kingly aspirations of man. It lifts'us ap as no instru- ment does, and under the spell of its otterance we reach the high water wark of the nobler human emotion.— New York American. PRODUCTS rrom whicH I. O. U.
