EVIL EFFECTS OF RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE.
History of SOIUB of the World Famous
JIou Whoso Intelligent Kilbrts Have
IJecii Directed , Apriilnst the Op
pression of lingluiid.
The first in the series of Saturday nleht
meetings at the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation to bo devoted to subjects of particular
nationalities was that held last night and
was called "Irish Night. " It proved to bo a
decided success.
The lecture room on the second floor was
entirely llllod by n very intelligent and earnest -
nest audience of gentlemen with a slight
sprinkling of ladles. Mr. J.V. . Battin presided -
sided and tbo first speaker introduced was
Hon. M , V , Gannon , ho spoiio very ear
nestly and entertainingly upon the charac
teristics and wrongs of the Irish race. Mr.
Gunner said ho had bocn given but a very
short time to prepare anything like a speech ,
but bo would talk about tbo Irish people In a
general way. Ho was glad to moot and talk
to the Young Mon's Christian association
because it was not the first time ho had
addressed thu organization , end bo felt sure
that what ho said would bo listened to with
out prejudice and with that broad Christian
spirit that should characterize intelligent
mon of every nationality.
Wiping Out I'rt-Jiidlctt.
Ho was glad to do bis part at all times to
help wipe out these miserable prejudices
which had boon a nurse to tbo human race
and a hindrance to the peace and progress of
tbo world. Mr. Gannon said that there was
a popular fulacy In thin country among the
American people , that all the crltno
committed in Ireland was the product ot
Catholicism. With the single exception ot
Dntilol U'Connoli , Mr. Gannon said , all tbo
great Irish leaders In the struggle for liberty
and Justice had been Protestants. FiU-
gorald. Shears , Emmet , Mitchell , O'Brien
and Parnell were shining examples
of what Protestants bad done to
unite the sons of Ireland in their efforts to
frco themselves from the oppression of Eng
land. There was .10 bitterness between the
different religious denominations in Ireland
but these who had written English history
and English literature bad taken pnins to
misrepresent and slander the Irish peoplo.
Mr. Gannon then spoke deplorlngly of the
prejudice born of religious bigotry. Ho said :
"Ol all prejudices In tbo world that which
has religion for Its foundation is the least
excusable. "
Ho pictured tbo misery aud bloodshed and
desolation that hud boon occasioned by re.
llgious prejudice and contrasted with this
tbo Christlllco works of mercy and goodness
nnd the ennobling and elevating influence
of true Christianity us exemplified1 In the
lives of the Slstars of Mercy , the missionaries
and true ministers and prlnsts who follow the
meek nnd lowly Nazareno. Mr. Gannon spoue
highly of tbo work being accomplished by
tbo Young Men's Christian association , nnd
hoped that such meetings as that of last
night would create a fooling of the universal
brotherhood of man among the young men
aud make them to feel that
This world Is full of bounty ,
As uro thu worlds above ;
And did wo do our duty ,
It uiUht bo.fu ) | of love.
Mr. Gannon's remarks were loudly ap
plauded.

choice and effective language by Mr.
Mabonoy.
Tbo address was exceptionally entertaining
and was eagerly listened to by the audience.
The hearty applause which followed the
closing sentence attested thehigh estimation
placed upon the speech by these who
hoard it.
, Secretary Obor than Icon the speakers for
their courtesy and kindness in furnlshiug so
admirable an entertainment for the evening.
Ho said it was the mm of the Young Men's
Christian association to teach tbo Idea that
all men were brothers and that while people
might differ in their rolicious beliefs yet a
broad-minded consideration and respect for
every honest man's conscientious belief
should be entertained by every professed
Christian , oy every Intelligent , generous
hearted man.

S. D. , Jan. 1C. [ Special to THE
The chances are very much in favor
nt this time of a special session of the South
Dakota legislature to consider an appropria
tion looking to a fund to bo devoted to the
collection and placing of an exhibit of South
Dakota products at the World's Columbian
exposition. In Muy of 1691 a state World's
fair convention was held in this city which
created a World'.s fair commission. It has
lahoroa at Its own expense to raise money for
a state exhibit at the exposition. Early In
its existence the commission en
deavored to Induce the governor to
call a special session of tha leg
islature and Hocuro plodeos from a
majority of the legislators to unite for an
appropriation , should the legislature bo con
vened , but Governor Mclletto positively do-
dined to convuno the body if it would onUll
anv expvnso to Hio state. So the commission
tried a stock company scheme , un Individual
contribution scheme and a county appropria
tion scheme. Kadi ono failed to encourage
the commission and the condition of things
made success impossible unless a session of
the legislature could bo secured ,
When the rommlHslon met hero Thursday ,
President Evans said einutiatlcally that ho
would not go homo until the matter of funds
was settled or the commission dissolved , lie
had previously invited Governor Molletto to
attend the meeting , out tbo. governor failed

on which the ink was hardly dry :

Chief Seaveyvus next called upon , and ho
didn't know what to do , so ho asked that tbo

then the cblof wanted to bo excused from

chief was just about to express himself when
Mr. Jloweil arose and declared that hoas
In just about the sumo position as the chief
of police , and ho would llko to hear the
opinion of the city attorney before voting.
Mr. Cunnoil replied by stating that the
provisions regulating the appointment of
commissioner of health were somewhat con-
Illcting. but ho thought they could be recon
ciled. Regarding section M3 , under which
the appointment was made , ho said the sec
tion was swneping , plain and mandatory.
The mayor must appoint a commissioner of
health , and if the "council falls to ccnllrm ,
the mayor must repeat his appointment every
Tuesday night. The term'of oftlco of evor.v
one of tbo many ofllcors appointed by the
mayor expire * with the mayor's ofllco , unless
sooner romoved. This provision was un-
doubtoJly made in order to insure all the
ofllcors working in harmony , either polit
ically or otherwise.
"Dr. Gapen's attorneys claim , " said Mr.
Connell , "tbat the ieclion under which ho
was appointed U an execution. If this is so
It Is strange that it is the only one. Such an
amendment looks very much as if its passntro
had been secured by somn one interested In
this department , either directly or Indirectly ,
as It is utterly nt variance with oviry other
provision of the charter. It provides thnt
his term of oflice shall bo for two years , but
with this reservation 'unless sooner re
moved or retired. ' It is very plain to mo
that ha is retired In this case by thu action
of the mayor and council , The sections are
conflicting , and it is fair to conclude that
the legislature never intended to make a
tingle exception in this caso. All courts
hold that conlllcting suctions shall bo made
to harmonize If possible , and It is possible to
har nonlzo these in this way. "
t'lili-l hi-n\i-y Voted Aji .
This brought the vote arotina to the chief
again , but ho looked around and asked :
"Who seconded that motion to adopt ) If it
wasn't seconded there is nothing before the
hOUbR. "
Nobody pleaded guilty to having .seconded
the motion , and after waiting a mlnuto the
mayor said : "I suppose the president can
frocbnd it , and I will do so. It is now ready
for your vote , rhief. "
Thcro wu : no way out of it , and the chief
said : "This is a matter for the courts to de
termine , and it may ba months hoforo it is
settled , but tbo board cannot afford to wait ,
as it should bo organized at once or
the health of the city mav suffer.
I don't know Dr. Seniors , but Dr. Uupon
is u personal friend of mine , mid
I huvo always gotten along well with this
department. But I don't propose to allow
friendship to stand in the way ot the per
formance of my olllclal duties , cither in this
cuso or any other. It seems to IPO that the
elauso regarding the contention between the
two might as well bo loft out. 1 don't know
us it amounts to anything , but tboro may bo
something behind ft. "
The chief was assured that the resolution
was not loaded nt both ends , and thereupon
voted "nyo" for Its adoption.
Mr. Honrcll voted "aye" without a mur
mur.
Arguments lor U.ipvn ,
Dr. Ciapou's attorneys managed to gotn
few minutes' bearing , and argued the case
from tholr standpoint. They urged that the
intent of the legislature was nonpollticul ,
nnu Insisted thnt the last action of the body
was surely intended to lay over previous leg
islation. They urged that a special provision
would hold over a general ono , but tholr ar
guments failed to convince tbo members of
the board that the mayor had lu any ucgroo
exceeded his proroiratlvos ,
'
'NVhon i\lr , Andre's' vote was called for ho
said that Inasmuch as the mayor had the np-
pomtlva power It was not for the hoard to
decldo us to Its legality , and ho voted "aye. "
The mayor voted the same way , making U
unanimous , and Dr. Oapcn wus thus legis
lated out of ofllce. Ill * attorney stated that
lib client would turn over luo olllco without
further trouble.
McLoarlo Introduced another resolution ,
rending as follow * ;
ili'solvcd , That all Inspectors or other par-
tic- , heretofore employed by tlio Iliiaru of
Health or In connection with the Hnallli de
partment of thooltyfif Umiilm ho. and tlio
siiiho lire hereby lolloved from duty and dU.
clmrgud from fuitlioruurvlco.
It was adopted without n disjoining volco ,
and the board adjourned until " o'clock
Ttesduv , when it will consider rules for the
regulation of tha sanitary department.
Dr. ( Japon left last evening for Hobtiylor.

"I want to suggest something to the people

Bishop Newman yesterday tea Bun re
porter. "I bavo Just returned from Oula-
hoina , null I found while down there that the
people were becoming very much uxcitcil
over the opening of the Cherokee strip ,
which tbo Indians recently ngrocd to sell to
tbo United State * and which the prcildent
will probably open by proclamation next
spring or summer.
"Now , tbo people well remember the terrible -
riblo scramble and uctu.il lots of
lite that attended the opening of Oklahoma
three years ugo. The opening of thu Chcro-
koo strip will undoubtedly bo a repetition of
the disgraceful scene * , of the Oklanonm
opening , I doubt the wisdom ol such u pro-

nnd let there bo ticket with a'corro pendIng -
