AS WAS anticipated would be the case,
the A. p. A. have come out with the
claim that the victories the Republicans
Won in the recent elections really belong
to their proscriptivs organization, says
the Catholic Columbian. They make
their loudast boasts about Michigan, but
they also assert that in not less than
twenty other states the result of the vot"
ing was brought about by their ballots.
The absurdity of such claims are appar'
ent. but the claims themselves are not
surprising coming from an organization
that deals as extensively as the A. P. A.
in falsehoods and forgeries. Our Rs
publican friends, who stood in no need
at all of their disreputable allies, must
now regret that they did not, before the
election, denounce the rag tag apd bob
tail crowd that proclaimed itself a por.
ton of their party, and that now claim
the whole credit of their triumphs. Be-
cause of their failure through lack OF
courage to do this, the resi- victors in the
recent electoral struggle must now lis
ton as patiently as they can to the 40
surd claims of their late allies, for they
are powerless to answer and refute them
This is one of the penalties of the shame
full partnership they entered into when
they negotiated with the Apaists.

If Lord Salisbury has not been mis-
represented relative to his recent speech

said: "But for the House of Lords you
would now have eighty voters in the

est bidding party, making you and your
interests slaves of Archbishop Walsh

make this infamous charge is not given.
To say the least. Lord Salisbury has

of Ireland, but traducer of noble and

THE HERSHFIELD CASE.

The West and IN fact the whole
country are again called upon to read
the details of a scandal which if not as
disgusting are yet calculated to arouse
more sympathy than the Breckenridge
case. The Hershfeld divorce case now
in progress at Fargo is occupying great
deal of newspaper space and exciting
much interest throughout Dakota and
Montana. 1t is the old story of wealth,
power and influence on one side and a
young, attractive, defeneeless girl on the
other.
It is too bad that the public sense OF
decency must be shocked from time to
by such examples of human heartlessuess
and depravity. But when the curiosity
of the public isaroused and it's sympathy
be arrayed on one side or the other, it
is better that such cases be shorn OF all
mystery and the public allowed to judge
correctly. Tt is not yet two years since
Miss Dell Hogan was a happy young girl
earning an honest living by working in q
store at Helena, Montana. She CHANGED
to meet Aaron Hershfeld, wealthy
bachelor banker of the same CITY. He
was infatuated with her attractiveness
and schemed way to secure an intro.
duction and acquaintance. They became
engaged to be married. But his relatives
hearing of this opposed the match partly
because Miss Hogan was poor, partly be-
cause she is Catholic and he Jew, and
above all because the relatives wished
Aaron Hershfeld to remain unmarried
so that his vast property would descend
to them instead of this poor girl and her
descendants. But race and religious
prejudice and all the coercive threats Of
enraged relatives were not sufficient to
overcome the love which Hershfeld bore
Miss Hogan. The result was an elopement
and marriage. Now Hershfeld's brother
and sister-in-la bent all their energies
towards separating the couple, which
they finally accomplished through force.
Then came the most infamous part Of
whole affair. Well knowing that in or

RELIGION IN POLITICS.

Bishop McQuaid, of Buffalo, took oc-
casion to criticise Archbishop Ireland
for his visit to New York during the
late campaign. He charges Archbishop
Ireland with being there in the interest
of the Republican party. We honestly
hope and believe that such was not the
case. II one thing above all others has
been proven beyond doubt, it is that the
church never makes greater mistake
than when it interferes in politics. To a
layman, and especially to a non.C1 holic,
it is just as Objectionable to have an
archbishop interfering as to have
parish priest, and even more so. The
principle that religion should not med die
with partisan politics must be kept in
vioIable We do not mean by this that
archbishops, bishops or priests are not
to have political views; this state OF
affairs would be subject to criticism
also, but we mean that clergymen
should not lend the authority or infu-
ence of their positions to the aid of any
party.
When moral questions are involved,
clergymen, as good citizens, are expected
to lend their aid to the right side, but
are not expected to do SO as political
partisans. 1t is to be regretted that one
Catholic prelate should feel called upon
to charge another Catholic prelate with
the very thing which some enemies OF
the Catholic church are very fond OF
charging against her. To Catholics the
attitude Of the church on this subject is
we'll known. Non Catholics should keep
in mind the clear, direct, unambiguous
language in which the Pope has ex-
pressed himself when speaking upon this
question to the clergy and laity of differ
emit countries. In speaking to French
ecclesiastic, he said: II 60 not wish the
French monarchists to make use Of re.
lig,on as a tool. It ls my bounden
duty to hinder religion from serving as a
springing board to partisans of this or
that government"
When asked if these words might be
repeated, the Pope replied: "Most as
suredly. Proclaim that ! hold religion
to be- above all parties. That | SO will
it. That T 80 require it,
We are heartily sorry that the episode
has arisen. but we believe Archbishop
Ireland too able and shrewd an eccle-
eiast and too patriotic citizen to have
made the mistake with which be is
charged.
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1894-12-01

that too secured because Of some charge
against the wife. they attack her charac-
ter and persuade the husband to bring an.
action against her on the ground OF her
unchastity. It would be improper at
this stage Of the proceedings to say any
thirg as to the merits of the case; that
must be left to court and jury to de-
eide after investigation and deliberation.
We barely mentiol few facts that our
readers may understand the case. 1t the
public mind when aroused is any iudica-
ton of right there can be little doubt as
to the vindication of Mrs. Hershfeld
There was time in this country when
wealth and power could disregard the
laws of decency and trample upon the
rights of the poor white woman as we'll
as upon those of the slave woman but
fortunately they have passed. Wealth
and family position will never in this
Christian nation allow thing calling
himself a man to disregard woman
hood. The true character of the hus-
band is we'll illustrated by the remark
he made to friend in reference to Miss
Hogan before their marriage, "Money
will do anything with these women" He
relied uppn his wealth to protect him in
running a life which to It's owner was as
sweet aud in the eyes of all good mon a
thousand times more important than
that of the heartle.s wretch who plotted
against it. We cannot help desplsing
he character of the man who after SO.
curing the girls consent to marry him
did not have the moral stability to resist
the efforts of elatives to secure separ-
alton. His manhood did not assert it,
self because he lad none, and he should
be shorn of the wealth he relied upon to
save him. 1t is curious fact that Mrs.
Hershfeld's most relentless enemy all
through the unfortunate troubles has
been woman, which is another illustra-
tlon of womans inhumanity to woman.
But thoroughly and completely as is
the man to be condemned we cannot but
feel that Mrs. Hershfield is another illus
tration Of those foolish ADD unfortunate
girls VINO are ever eager to marry wealth
and position Instead of man. However,
attractive she may have been to him; in
that old batchelor foreign in race, reli-
gion and culture there could have been
no attraction for her except his wealth.
There are too many American girls in
their ambition for wealth and position
ready to enter into homogeneous marri-
ages with foreign duKes and counts, and
as result too often end their lives in
misery. Yet it would be uncharitable to
say that such was the motive OF Mrs.
Hershfeld Be that as it may her sin
against herself was as nothing compared
with the heartlessness of the man who
broke in upon young and happy life and
now seeks to leave her and his, child
stranded, pennilesa, and exposed to the
cruel comments of this world and the
fortunes of a broken heart.
