WILLIAM w. ERWIN, the noted GRIM
inal lawyer OF St. Paul, will remove to
New York city in October to have larger
field for the exercise of his remarkable
talents. Since his admission to the bar
he has defended $50 men indicted for
murder and cleared the most of them.
This record is not equalled by any other
lawyer in the country. He is a great
forensic orator who can hold his own
with the most brilliant men of his pro-
feesion anywhere. He defended the
Homestead strikers with conspicuous
ability and figured in seventeen murder
cases during the past year. "Bill' En-

BouRKE COCHRAN has found it neces-

his recent address at the opening of the

He was represented as pointing his fore
finger at Archbishop Corrigan and ad'

lie. "No person in the hall" said Mr.
Cochran, misunderstood my meaning
and none applanded more vigorously the
views expressed than the patriotic Amer
lean who is the spiritual chief of the

no better patriot than M. A. Oorrigan il

that he used warning gesture in ad
dressing him is of such q ridiculous char.
acter that he would not stoop to charac'

In recent issue of the New York Sun,
Mrs, Margaret F. Sullivan, of Chicago,
stated that while poripg over old docu-
ments in the London Museum about the
troops engaged in the American War OF
the Revolution she found that British
general in his evidence before parlia-
mentary committee testified that Cen
eral Lee told him that half the men in the
American army were Irish. An Ulster
man writes to the Sun saying that the
men who fought were from the North OF
ireland and that they would scorn to be
classed with the Irish, as they never
earned the name of Irish. He is evil
IDENTIFY an Orangeman, and If he is he ut
ters what is true of the followers OF XII, G
William, for they never earned the name
of Irish. IF any of his tribe fought in
the Revolutionary War it must have been

present. His life was such that We must
exercise considerable caution IN speaking
about him, lest We may hurt the moral
feelings Of our Christian readers.
The liberal minded editor OF our es-
teemed contemporary 10 somewhat M
censeds at Father Cleary for asserting
that "the Catholic Church is the only IN
stitution that protects the Christian
home.'' That is fact which is acknowl-
edged by even the enemies of the Catho-
lie Church. What institution, religious
Or secular. protects the Christian home
from the degradation of the divorce laws,
for which Professionalism is responsible,
but the Catholic Church? Marriage is
sacrament in the Catholic Church, but it
has fallen to the level of a mere civil con-
tract with NOM Catholics, and the hus-
band and wife can separate and marry
again and again. Divorce is blot on
our boosted American civilization, and
the Catholic Church alone has always
opposed it and upheld the sanctity and
indissolubility of the marriage bond. 1t
is unreasonable for our esteemed friend to
expect Father Cleary to recall what he
said on the subject OF to consider his
words ''rancorous and indefensjble as
eault" upon those who do not believe in
Catholic doctrine. It is not fattering to
Father Cleary to be mentioned in con-
nection with Rev Newhouse, who is
nothing but blatant, vulgar and ranting
sepsationalist whose hobby is to utter
diatribes against the Catholic Church.
We have the highest regard for. the
editor of the Progressive Age and adj
mire him for his liberal spirit. but we
unhesitatingly declare that as Christian
he has no grounds for applauding the
manliness of Luther for violating bis
voluntary VOWS of celibRcy.

f. D. NEwHoUsE, the clerical charla-
tan who expounds the gospel of John
Wesley on Franklin avenue, told his flock
last Sunday of his rambles in Rome. He
visited St. Peters Church and found
that the big toe of the beautiful marble
statute of st. Peter was worn away by
kissing, and that during the course OF
ages it was found necessary to put on q
new toe three times in succession. What
q valuable piece of information for Min
neapolis Methodists is that! That knowl-
edge will enable them to reach the New
Jerusalem and enjoy celestial happiness
in the sweet by-and-bye. But he made
another great discovery. He found that
the Pope had lost his political influence
in Rome. and now exercises greater
power at Washington than in the Eter-
nal City. The third important item Of
news which he gave his delighted con
gregation was that Italy 10 the most
wicked country in the world, and that it
produces twenty-five times 40 many
murderers a. Crest Britain. Il win not
always be 50 bad, however, for now there
is Methodist church Ia Rome, and that

THE SCOTCH-IRISH.

During the past few years the hyphen-
ated word Scotch Irish" has been fre-
quently heard in this country. 1t is
chiefly owing to the fact that an associa-
ton calling itself the Scotch Irish Soci-
ETY. of America was organized in 1889 by
the descendants of the Presbyterians OF
Ulster for the purpose of gathering his
torical materials relative to the achieve
ments Of their race on this continent.
There is no doubt whatever that Irish
mon of the Presbyterian faith rendered
signal service in colonial days in driving
British tyranny forever from our shores,
but those patriotic men would have been
insulted if they had been designated
"Scotch- Irish," as they are today by
their offspring and by men who have
emiprated from Ireland in later days.
The first man who encouraged the for
nation of this Scotch Irish society was
the merchant-prince A. T. Stewart, and
its president is Robert Bonner, OF the
New York Ledger, both OF whom drew
their first breath in Ireland. Both OF
them became successful men in business
and amassed great fortunes in this coun-
try, but that is about all can be said OF
them. Stewart became rich man dur
ing the civil war by speculation, while
Bonner remained in his Office making
money out of his story paper. Neither
of them distinguished himself as an
American patriot. and cared not which
way the war went so long as they We're
piling up the dollars. They evinced no
interest in the cause of their native land
as far as we know, except that Stewart
once sent some provisions for the relief
of his starving countrymen. They were
the principal originators of the Scotch
Irish society which will hold it's sixth
annual congress in Des Moines next
month. There are many noted Ameri
cans belonging to the society, among
them being Weep President Stevenson,
Elk Gov. Campbell and Gov. Mckinley,
of Ohio, Senators Brice, Cameron and
Mcmillan, Col. Mcclure, of the Philadel-
phia Times, William Writ Henry, OF Ten
nessee, Gov. Northen, of Georgia, Gov.
Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, and several
others. A writer in the Chicago Tribune
claims the late Vice President Hendricks
and Secretary Blaine as Scotch Irish,
aud enumerates among men OF the race
Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton,
Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, q. 8.
Grant, Stonewall jackson, President
Madison, Samuel B. Morse, Robert Full
ton, Horace Greeley, Cyrus Mccormick
and John Erickson. He could have IN.
cluded James Buchanan and Chester A.
Arthur in tho list, and left Erickson to
the Swedes and Grant to the Scotch,
though the latter had both Scotch and
Irish blood in his veins, for his mother
was Kelly, according to his Memoirs.
Alexander Hamilton may have been
Scotch Irish, though born in the West
Indies, where his ancestors may have
been banished by Cromwell in the seven-
tenth century. The claim Of Erickson
as Scotch Irish is entirely false, for the
inventor Of the Monitor was born in
the province Of Vermeland, Sweden, in
1905, and served for some years as an
officer Of engineers In the Swedish army.

grins on the faces of the republicans
grow wider and wider and their lips
smack more loudly in anticipation of
the return of the years of the Fatted

sort of year, anyway. Weather and
