TAKEN as whole it would have been
q pretty hard matter to have placed q
weaker ticket in the field than that nom
mated by the Populists Of this city and
county during the week.

SOME one has sent us speech made
in Congress by Hon. William s. Linton
of Michigan, says the Catholic Times of
Philadelphia. The ignorance and un-
fairness Of it indicates that it's author is
in spirit, if not in fact, an A: P. Aist.
The speech was made in opposition TO
appropriations for Catholic Indian
schools. The honorable representative
from Michigan makes q great flourish of
statistics to show that Catholic educators
among the Indians receive much larger
sum than those of her denominations.
There is short. answer to all his talk, it
is this: The government pays certain
amount per. head for all the indians
rtaugbt. Thus, the church that educates
the highest number must as matter ct
justice receive the largest amount of
pay. The Catholics educate the great
est number and receive their just pre-
portion and nothing more. Protestant
denominations were very willing to COM
pete when the government undertook the
education of the Indians. But after 9
few years experience they found that
they could not compete successfully with
Catholic educators. Having made this
discovery they are now opposed to all
UNCONVENTIONAL appropriations. Their
lorg winded resolutions Of protest have
q flavor OF sour grapes about them.

Gov. NELSON recently delivered a
speech at Argyle, in which he extolled
the Republican party and scored the
Democracy for it's efforts on the line OF
tariff reform. He should not forget that

Republican votes now.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER !, 1894,
THAT POPUL1sr CONVENTION.

The Hennepip County Popuhsts met
in convention last Tuesday, and put q
congressional, as we'll az complete
county ticket in the field. The latter
was not accomplished without great
deal OF bad feeling and the driving out of
the party OF some members that may
work great deal of mischief in conse-
auence. Contestirg delegations seem to
have mixed matters very much for the
credentials committee and it was not un-
TIL the irrepresslble Tom. Lucas and his
small band of followers were driven from
the hall that peace reigned. There was
a great deal of bad blood in the conven
tion from the moment 1t was called to
order, There were the friends of Igna
titus Donrelly, who were opposed to the
idea of the central committee backing
up the daily paper scheme after the SEN
ator from Dakota county had spent his
time and his money in booming the cause
through his own weekly publication
the Represep tative. Then Donnelly had
accused Owen in his paper Of aspiring 10
the United States Senate, thus trying to
gobble up all the offices in sight. Tom
Lucas was sore at every one but himself,
and even he did not escape his own ven
Reance when he found what fool he
made of himself by refusing to state his
case before the committee on credentials
when another delegation from his ward
questioned his right to represent that
ward in the convention. There was lit.
tie or no effort made at fusion with the
Democrats; in fact certain influences
seemed to be at work all through the
convention to head off any more tending
to fusion. What that influence was, OF
course, we cannot say, but it was appar-
emit that several delegations were there
whose sole aim was to crush any attempt
at fusion. The Populists cannot possibly |
hope to elect their ticket or any nomi |
nees thereon without Democratic assist !
ance, and knowing this, as some OF them
certainly do, we cannot see why they |
went through the form OF naming d
ticket unless there was some trickery |
some v here. But there is no use in our
discussing why they acted as they did
unless perhaps it be for the benefit Of
the deluded ones who went into that con-
vention with a noble purpose in view
only to wake up when it was too late, to
find themselves and their friends made
the dupes of a few scheming ones. They
cannot expect to elect single nominee
on that ticket without Democratic as
eistance, and that help they cannot ex-
pect after what they did. As disorgan-
izer that convention was success.

S. M. OWEN says he is not and Will not

in the least.

EVERY Englishman believes, on the
strength of what EDgGsh writer's, from
Sydney Smith to Dickens and Halibur-
ton have written about yankee tricks
ters," that the, American citizen, as q
tradesman, or as sportsman, is adj
dicted to "ways that are dark and tricks
that are vsin," says the Boston Pilot
Every American who has had business
transactions with Englishmen knows
that they are sharp, INSCRIPTIONS and
ready to take advantage OF all of the
lodges of trade for the overreaching of
the unwary foreigner. The mutual distrust
is born Of British prejudice on the one
hand and of American experience on the
other. In the field of sporting contests
we know that the Englishman is prone
to use every trick, fair or unfair, to gain
successs. The tactics of the seThistle"
syndicate demonstrated that fact to the
satisfaction Of all impartial observers.
The American yacht won the battle for
the possession of the Americas" cup
despite the most barefaced jockeying on
the part Of the Thistle" and her owners.
Now that the "Vigilant" has failed to
enter one race in British waters, owing
to the reported loss Of her centre board
the Engllshmen raise the cry Of foul play
and accuse the American contestant of
''cowardice." Mr.. Gould is not the.
typical American, but il these interna-
tional races he has shown q truly sports
manlike spirit, and nobody but q Briton.
with Briton's consciousness of his own ,i
procliyities, will question either his cour-
age or his fair dealing il such q matter.

PARLIAMENT PROROGUED.

last Saturday, and the measures intro.
duced during the session for Ireland's
benefit are thereby dead for the present.
The ssme and perhaps rougher ground
must be gone over again before the
much needed relief comes. The house
If commons did what it could in the
matter of passing the bill for the relief of
the evicted tenants, but the landlords
and their allies in the upper house could
not in justice (?) to themselves permit
that measure TO become law. That
would be doing too much for Ireland,
and with few promises from Lord Sails
bury that the Tories would at some
future tlme+not far distant-giveS Ire
land self-government it is expected that
the Irish people can get along all right
for while. The speech from the throne,
which was read in the house of lords by
Lord Herschell, was the same stereo-
typed affair that has SO often been sung
to those lordly sycophants of her majesty.
Almost all the questions of national and
international import we're touched upon
at considerable length, except that of
Ireland. Only Ave lines, that mean but
little, were wasted on Ireland, while a
great deal of space is devoted to the dis
cussion of other and less important
topics. Her mdiesty does not forget to
say that there is much JOY in Windsor
Castle over the birth of an heir in the
third generation to the throne. 1.-THE
event." she adds,a''is not merely propit-
ious, it is unprecedented in the history
of the country" To the average man it
would appear that the birth of an heir
to the throne of England in the third
was of very small Importance
when &C impaired with questions such as
the ablishment" OF the church in
Wales; the enacting of law whereby all
elections must be held on
the same day; the. passing of bill Civ
ing Scotland Home Rule; and last but
not least by any means the granting to
Ireland of self government. 1t would
seem, as has been sad that questions of
3 character such as we have enumerated
above are of vastly more vital Importance
tban the birth Of an heir that in all prob !
ability will be bald before it gets the op-
of uttering anything from the
throne. Much better would it have been
Tor the queen to have met the issues as
they are. BY the breaking out of the
war between China and Japan England
,ees her interests in the orient endan-
yered considerably, and to the end that
these be protected the burden of taxation
Is to be increased. We're England to grant
Ireland Hone Rule, two-thirds of the
standing army in that country could be
dispensed with. See what relief that
would be to the government, as we'll as
The country that is forced to support

state in Wales would mean saving to
the national treasury of several hundred

Of increasing the tax levy it would be cut
down considerably. The next thing We

heir an income of several thousand
pounds year. There will be a rumpus
when that goal 10 reached.
