THE CAUSE OF DEFEAT.

The last two national elections teach 8
lesson that should be learned. In 1892
the Republicans in possession of the ma
tional administration secured only l45
out of 444 electoral votes for President,
less than one third; and but 129 of the
$50 members of the House of Represen-
tatives. In 1894 the Democrats in pos
session OF the national administration
have elected only about 100 members of
the House. At first thought this would
seem to indicate that the American voter
is extremely chaneeable. It would ap-
pear that great numbers of voters flock
from one party to another. Such, how
ever, is not the case. Both defeats we're
due to the actions OF the party in power.

The moment the Democrats get in
power IN the country, the Republicans
from Maine to California by common
instinct, like SO many prairie dogs, get
up and howl "hard tines" says the
Western Watchman. Like the sailor
with his nose to the mast whistlipg for
wind, this cry of "hard times often
brings on that very same condition.
When Republicans get in power they go
in ON promise to bring about good
times, which promise Democrats every
where help them to fulfill. This is not
the first or only year when blatant DEM
ago uery carried the day. Quack doc
tors in political economy, like the ven
doris of patent nostrums grow rich on the
creduihty of the public.

publicans. The Democratic vote re-
NAMED about stationary while for the
first time il the history Of the Republi-
can party it had not withdrawing the in
crease in population lost heavily as com.
pared with the election four wears be-
fore. In like manner the great Republi-
can maturity in the next House is due
not to any great increase in Republican
votes but to great falling off OF the
Democratic vote. In every state except
New York where the conditions were ex-
ceptional the Republican majorities are
due to Democratic absentees. In lSo8
the Republicans carried the country by
promising fair revision of the tariff, but
instead gave os the Mckinley bill. The
result was that Republican voters would
not sus, ain Harrison in 1892 Two years
ago the Democrats promised a speedy
repeal Of the Sherman law and low
tariff measure, but ms cad it took three
months to repeal the silver law which
was finally carried only by the aid OF
Republicans. It took nine months to
pass mongrel tariff bill which was far
short of what had been promised. The
result was that Democrats we're dis
gusted with their party and showed their
disgust by not voting. A lesson should
be learned from an analysis OF the two
elections. Party ties are no longer SO
strong as to bind menin their allegiance,
and as sectionalism dies out they will
become still weaker. It is We'll for the

QUITE number of Republicans, to-
geth with small spripkling Of citizens
'with daggers in their boots, - gathered at
Hunts hall last Monday evening, where
Alderman Kiichll's defeat for the state
senate was celebrated in true border
style. To those in the immediate neigh
borhood Of the hall it is said to have
been gentle reminder of the Indian
outbreak of '62. Geo. McAllister was
the principal spirit, though other and
stronger spirits were present and an I'M
usual amount OF merriment and good
cheer was INDUCED in. While the A. P.
A. and remnant of the Tammany con-
tiogent each lay claim to having accom-
pushed Mr.. K;ichli's defeat, the fact still
remains that the Republican landslide,
which swept over the country, was wholly
responsible for the disaster which befell
tina Democracy here as elsewhere. 1t is

The announcement that chair of the
Celtic language is to be established at
the Catholic University Of America has
been received with great satisfaction on
both sides of the Atlantic, says Church
News. This is not strange, considering
several important facts-the beauty of
the language, it's wealth of literature,
and the effort made to bury it in 1.-The
grave of forgetfulness. 1t is SO closely
associated with everything Catholic that
Catholics especially must feel deep in
terest in the Celtic chair soon, it is to be
hoped, to be endowed at our university.
Under the fostering care OF Bishops and
priests, the Celtic language produced a
harvest of poetry, history, ana romance
that should be translated and given to
the world. This will be one of the fruits
of the new chair, which will produce pro-
found scholars in that language. The
story of the brutal attempt to rob the
Irish of their native language is known
to every reader of English or irish his
tory. The records of the times when
the teacher of Irish children was in con-
slant danger of his life is only relieved of
it's dark shadow by the heroism and ten
acity of those who labored so heroically
TO preserve that language from destruc-
tion. Their fidelity to duty, their cour-
age, should be commemorated in every
land, and it is gratifying to know that
interest is being shown in the Celtic
tongue the world over; hence it is time
that here in America, whose Church and
state owe SO much to the Gael, the Ian
guage Of his fathers should be studied
and it's rich treasures be preserved fol
coming generations.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER "a, 1894.
THE MANCHESTER MARTYRS.

Another anniversary of the execution
of the Manchester martyrs has come and
gone. Twenty-seven years ago yaster~
day at Manchester, England, three men
paid with their lives the penalty of one
of the most unselish acts which the civil
liaed world has ever heard Of. Allen,
Larken and O'Brien, we'll knowing that
the result of their act would be death
for themselves, dared TO strip the prison
bonds from OF two of their fellow c"''''
trymen, who had been arrested be aus !,
they fought for their country. The
rescue was made in the heart of popu~
Ious English city, swarnling with British
soldiers. You may call the act fool
hardness Or bravery, it nevertheless
speaks OF a sentiment OF which the
world sees TOO little. Nothing more un-
selfish was ever done by man, and il
there is any sentiment, any word which
we would more than any other wish 10
have inscribed upon the great scroll OF
human hearts to be unfolded ia tho
lives of men it is the word unEelhshness
No moro unsslfish act can DO imagined
than the work OF these three patriots
Far from home in the midst OF the
enemy, where the certain result OF their
aot was death, without even the nope OF
friends last goodbye, they dared to do
what appeared to them to be duty
It was not the foolhardy daring Of Grim
c!ung to their hearts when let, to death
was that occasioned by the death OF the
English officer who had resisted them,
sDd whose death WAS as unattended as
it was deeply regretted by them. Il
matters not what anyone may think OF
the wisdom or expediency Of the act,
their mistake of Judgment can never
detract from the glory of their heroism.
There was no vain glory seeking about
these men. They were faithful to the
last.
Plau<lits of friends or taunts OF
enemies could in 10 way alter the fixed
purpose Of their hearts. They loved
their country and countrymen above
themselves and consequently could ex-
perience no fuishmeat for It's sake. The
Irish people love to speak OF tho Man
chester martyrs aud lingsr over the
past and yearn fondly and lovingly after
such types Of manhood. We catch the
feeling in Moore's lines:
Oh, for the kings who tlourishod them:
Oh, for the pomp that crowned them!
OH for the swords OF former times.
Oh, for the men who bore bhem
The men OF those days were true and
brave, but among them there were none
more true than three heroes who died on
the scatfold at Manchester twenty -seven
years ago yesterday.

Death of John Walter, Proprietor of tn.

Death of John Walter, Proprietor of the
London Timss.
John Walter, chief proprietor of the
London Times, is dead, at the age of
seventy.s six. He was the oldest son Of
John Walter, the second proprietor Of
that journal, and the grandson of John
Walter, who established the Times ON
January l, 1888. He was born in Lon
don in 1915, was educated at Elton, grad
uated with honors at Exeter College,
Oxford, took his NJ A. degree in l843,
and was called to the bar at Linccln's
Inn in 1847. He was a candidate fc.

interest for Nottingham in l843, but was
unsuccessful; but he was returned il
August, 1847, the day after his fathers
death, and continued to represent that
constituency until April, 1859, when he
was returned for Berks He became
proprietor OF the Times in 1847.
The Times in 1888 published it's famous
series of articles on "Parnellism and
Crime which for a while startled the
world with their alleged disclosures Fac
SMILES of letters purporting to have been
writted by Pa1nell and others, and i'm
plicating several other well-known fig
ures in the Irish movement, we're pub

on August Of that year, by the appoint
ment of commission to examine into
the truth of the charges. The commits
sion began its sessions on September II,
and sat 128 days, during which time
nearly 500 witnesses were examined.
The inquiry came to an abrupt close in
February, 1889, for on the 23rd OF that
month Richard Pigott, the chief witness
IN the case, and the man who sold the
letters to the Times for $4,000, contested
that they were for9eries committed by
himself. Four days later Sir Richard
Webster, counsel for the Times, With
drew the letters from the consideration
of the Court, and the newspaper pub
lished an apology, accepting Mr.. Par
nell's testimony that they were forgeriss-

Pigott fed to Madrid, and on March !
