THE sEcRETARY's DENIAL.

Whether the United States Secretary
of the Treasury Foster did use the word
ssclam mouth Irishman," ii q London In"
terview or not, he has not heard the last
of it. Some appear to think that he
would not have been SO vehement in
denying tile expression if it had not been
objected to-. In this he may have been
like some Minneapolis celebrities who
see nothing to correct in their interview
until some one calls them down and they
correct their statement by ferce)y pro.
claiming that they never said it, a Eroc-
lamation they would never have made
if the interview were to remain undis-
puted. O'Donavan Rosa called on Eos
ter when the latter arrived in New York,
but Foster refused to see him. 1t is
pity he did so because Rosa would have
given him fairly liberal education on
the Irish mouth and the secretary would
have been astonished al the dissimilarity
between it and any clam he saw in Lon
don while he was the lion of the Tory
flunkeys who run themselves around the
court of st. James. Foster, in his ex-
PLANTATION about the application "flapnel
mouth" and "clam mouth" said he only
referred to the Scandinavians. The
Northwest is largely populated with this
race. and Ford Nelson of Minneapo-
lis, through the press, shows Fosters ig-
norance of tho Norseman' characteristics
and claims that Foster is marrow
minded and heart contracted" The Sec
rotary while lodging thump in the lug
from the Irish fist runs the other side OF
his head against Norseman's clinched
knuckles and is staggered. Those Re-
publican officials who think it witty to
ridlcule the best class of citizens the ma
ton has, to English snobe, do not con-
oeal their hypocricy by affected admira-
ton of the class insulted or by false de-
mails. They are understood.

ROGER Q. M11ns has been elected to
the United States Senate from Texas.
The Democratic party has been forum
ate during the past few years in securing
number of bright men from various
states to this highest Legislative body.
Roger @. Mills, the last to be chosen thus
far, has the courage of his convictions, in
every respect a man of the people, and no
doubt can be entertained but what he
will prove one of the ablest men of that
body. Both his state and the Democrat
ic party has been highly honored by his

ENGLAND WILL AVOID WAR.

Lord Saliabury's attitude on the Beh-
ring sea seal fishery question is rendered
amusing by the English press assunp-
tion that the United States is quaking at
it's own temerity in asksng that the
modus vivendl be renewed that British
poachers may not destroy all the seals
before d. termination is reached as to
the rights Of either nation in these
waters. It England was SO obtuse as to
blund-r into war with this country it
would It be altogether calamitous. Its
vanquiehment, which would certainly re-
suit. would be blessing desired by all
nations. This country and England
have had no serious differences since the
Geneva Arbitration where the United
States was victorious In all contests
between thetgo nations since the undis-
ciplined soldiers Of the thirteen colonies
destroyed British power in this nation,
the United States has been triumphant.
There are a few million men in America
who would grow ten years younger if
war broke out between this country and
England. The attitude taken by the
president last Wednesday in his COM
munication to the senate looks as if Sec.
rotary Blaine were backing him and
coaching him. The message declares
that if the modus vivendi is not re-
newed the United States will keep the
poachers from stealing by armed force.
AS they have been stealing some time
and are yet, and Salisbury says he will
not renew the modus vivendi, and no
United States troops have driven the
poachers away, it is clear that the mes
sage is q gun fired for the fall election.

ago when Blaine and Jingoism was the

A COMMENTARY ON THE ARTICLE.

The article OF the Moniteur was in
spired from the Vatican. It is too loud to
come from any other source. 1 1t it is the
invention of the editors themselves, then
are they bold men indeed to. speak, las
speaks this article, under the eyes and
within the hearing Of Leo XIII. This
article, if not inspired, far from being
rehabilitation, is the DEATH blow Of the
American Lavigerie. On the day the
cable flashed on us the summary of this
article, doubt might at first have been
possible in the mind of friend and foe-of
friend, from the very vigor, I was going
to say, ferceness OF the defense, of foe,
from the exultant tone Of, the eulogy.
But to-day all doubt is. vanished, not
only did the same cablegram that
brought the article. to the American
Press, assert plainly that it was the in
SEPARATION Of the Holy Father; but further
and more personal and direct informa-
ten from various Roman sources to
more than one admirer Of Archbishop
Ireland gives certainty Of the source and
official character of this defense. 1t is
not the first time Leo XIII. has used
the Press as a vehicle of his sentiments
and ideas on matters personal, political
and social. Quite recently he has spoken
to the French people through the Petit
Journal, which goes in every hamlet and
almost every household of France. A.
few years ago he allowed the New York
Herald to interview him. DIR. Rocker of
the American College in Rome was pres
emit at the interview and acted as inter
prefer; he is witness that the report in
the Herald was substantially the CONVEX
sation Of the Holy Father. In 1880 ap-
peared book which made some sensa-
ton at the time, aud did not share the
fate OF De Houx's work-Leo XIII ct lie
Vatican by Louis Teste. On page 1872 I
read: "Leo XIII. makes occasional Off
cious or official communications to the
Aurora, or the Osservatore Romans, or
the Voce dells Verita = = e -. At
times the Holy Father himself writes out
certain declarations published in those
Journals. Often has his style been rec
ognized, for his firm moderation . and
elegant precision cannot be hidden.
Diplomacy wonders at this novelty and
is set astray by it. Plus TX. did not
write, he spoke much and often. It must
be admitted, however, that the spoken
thought is not as precise as the written
thought. The fact is the journal has
become the most powerful factor in poll
tics, we must resign ourselves to see it.
made use off,
In view of these facts and others that
might be cited, the plea set up by GER
tain journals to break the force Of this ex-
traordinary piece of journalistic work,
that 1t is foolish to think the Pope of
Rome would use any journal as vehicle
of his communications with the public,
falls to the ground. The facts are there
to prove that there are some matters On
which lie thus speaks to the world. and
that the defence of Archbishop Ireland is
one Of those matters. The article deserves
careful bordering more for the broad
principles on which the defence is based
than for the personal praise given to
Archbishop Ireland.

| A strange coincidence! This warfare
has broken out just as the American Re-
public is busy preparing for the Worlds
Fair. That exposition will mark the
stage of American expansion, as the Paris
exposition Of '89 emphasized to the world
the full tide of French vitality. But no.
hce the difference. The American Re-
public is wiser than her elder sister, the
American Republic has sought for her
exposition the recognition Of the Holy
See. Already from beyond the Atlantic
have come to us words of exaltation in
anticipation Of the Pontifis action, For
l'89, as we noticed in our issue of Novem-
Der 16, of that year, Mr.. de Vogue re-
gretted bitterly the abstention Of the
Holy See from any participation in the
French exposition, though the fault in
deed was not Of the Vatican but of the
government Of Paris; he bewailed that
France repudiated az approval SO prec-
ious as that Of Leo XIII. The United
States will not be guilty of such mis-
take. At the very summit Of their gi-

sands of miles and not cent of postage had

as it was sent on from here.
There are about 200 tags tied to the holes for
the lacings and something like 80 Of them have
the stamps of different post Offices on them,
together with inscriptions by different postal
clerks.
The shoe came TO Madison from Minneapolis.

cities in the east and some in the south.
Where II has gone from Madison IL not posi-
lively known. When il was found in the mail
pouch it was thrown to one side. Later one o.
the clerks picked il up and discovered the dis
lance il had Travelled. He read some of the in
scriptions, added one and threw it into a mail
pouch, the one that happened TO be nearest at
the time. 1t went east but the exact destina-
ton Of the pouch he does no; know.
The shoe was started from Boston by one Of
the postal clerks there-the first tag shows
that-and there is a request that il be returned
there. The idea Was probably to see how FAR
1t would travel. and if il ever does get back il
will undoubtedly have covered more territors
than any other shoe ever did before. But 1t
may not get back to the man who started il on its

clerk may keep 1t as a souvenir but so far it
seems to have been a point OF honor with all to
keep il going.

DROPPED FROM HEAVEN.
A Meteor In Idaho Said 20 BE Half Cold
As Large . Box Car.

As Large rs . Box Car.
From Boise. Idaho. Special.
On the night Of August 20 the upper end OF
the Bruneau valley, Owyhee county. was made
light day by the fiery glow of large meteor
that shot earthward out OF the southwestern
heavens.
Jack Ronald. who witnessed the fight of the
aerolite, said it appeared large as an ordinary
box car, and that rs it slanted downward it
emitted alternately deep red and dazzling
white light. He could hear a humming noise
a. the heavenly frebrand dropped through the
air, and occasionally there was q sound as OF
the distant explosion of small firecrackers. He
saw the meteor pass down behind the dark out
line Of a high hill, and a few seconds later be
heard a sharp and resonant explosion.
Within the next few moments Ronald saw six
smaller aerolites shoot through space, but he
could not tell whether any of them struck the
earth. After the fall OF the big meteor the air
was charged with electricity, which SO affected
Ronald's horses that they became sick. stag
gered and fell down vomiting and snorting.
Next morning Ronald made q search for the
aerolite, but he was unable to find trace Of il.
Another man who witnessed the phenomenon
was Orley Adams, placer miner. On Tuesday
he, too, commenced q search for the fiery Wis
itor and after few hours his search was re-
warded by the discovery Of . meteoric stone.
weighing probably 400 pounds, which had
struck q sand bank on the margin Il the creek
and had then ricochetted ninety feet 10 bluff OF
clay, where it had lodged. Adams. after con-
siderable SGort, Clipped Oh . piece Of the
stone, and now has il in his Possession in this
city. II has the appearance Of Mathematical
iron ore, but Adams declares that m assayer
has assured him that the stone il rich In gold.
Adams, who il q reputable man, says he il
sure he has found the aerolite that was seen by
Ronald and himself He declares that he was
not over 1000 yards distant from the meteor
when II struck the earth. and that he felt the
heat and electric atmosphere which surrounded
Ihe .ncandescent bolt. When he arose next
morning and started TO search for the fallen
star, - he termed il, he found stumps and
