In the present trouble between Japan
AID China in regard TO the possession OF
the penensula of Corea the stand of the
United States is we'll defined and clear,
Every effort consistent with the law of
nations should be made by the United
States in behalf to Japan, not alone be-
cause japan has been friendly towards
us, but also from the standpoint Of civil
ization. Corea occupies an important
position on the Eastern coast of Asia
which in the hands of the Hermit King
dom would be used to the detriment Of
American commerce. Ever since the
United States prevented by legislation
the flow of the dregs of the Orient to it's
shores, China's attitude toward us has
been that Of an enemy. What little
commerce China does carry on is carried
on with England. She has treated
American citizens at times With great
cruelty, while Japan has invited Ameri-
cans to her shores in order to develop the
country. Under these circumstances a
United States squadron should be at
hand to see that Japan's interests are
looked after.

line, SO that the honor of the Republic

PRIVATE FORTUNES.

Some Figures Which Furnish Food for
Thought in These Times.
In this country to-day, says Donahoe's
Magazine, there Is one American family
whose private fortunes amount to $274,-
100000, or considerably more than one
halt the valuation of the great state of
Iowa. There are five citizens whose for
tunes average s60,000OO0 each, so with
$40 DOC, GOO, 100 with $5,0O0,00O, 200 with
$3,000,0 900, and there are millionaires al
most without number. LESS than 1000
persons own twice as much as all the
money in the country, to say nothing of
the many millions more that they con-
troll. Two thousand capitalists already
own more than all the rest of our 81, OOO.-
600 of population. -.
With these figures on one side of them
and million idle men looking for work,
on the other, what has Congress been do
ing? It has been dickering and trading
over mere question of taxation in the
midst of scramble of selfish men for
the loaves and fishes. ~
So much for the great question of
equitable distribution. Now let us look
at the land question: Mr.. Vanderbilt
Gowns" 100000 acres of land, Mr.. Diss.
ton, of Pennsylvania, boasts of his a, DOC, 600
broad acres. The Shenley estate owns
1000 acres with the cities of Pittsburg
and Allegheny. The California million
aire, Murphy, owDs an area of land big
ger than the whole state of Massachu-
setts. Foreign noblemen, who owe no
allegiance to this country, are perma-
nently absentee landlords, and spend all
their money abroad, own 81 ,OO0, 600 acres
OF land in this country, or more. than the
entire area Of Ireland. Lord Scully. of
Ireland, owns 10000 acres of farming
land in Illinois, which he rents out in
small parcels to tenant farmers. and
pockets his annual 100000 in rents to
spend abroad.
Now, while over one half the people Of
this country are landlese, what has Com
grese ever done with the land question?
since 1861 it has given 18l, 1000 acres
OF the peoples land to railroads, Of which
the Illinois Central alone got q subsidy
of 100000 acres, good part Of which
has been put into house lots, whereby "a
extort rent and profits from the landleee

AN "Ex-NUN's" RETRACT1oN.

A Letter From the Notorious Sarah Nc
Cormack.
We have been requested, says the Liv-
erpool Catholic Times, topublish the fol-
lowing statement Of Sarah McCorm ack,
who recently lectured in Scotland as an
sex-nup," and ~ho is nov ANXIOUS to re-
pair the evil she has done. The docu-
ment demands no comment. 1t speaks
for itself:
q SARAH M'CoRMAcK's RETRACTIoN.
II. Sarah McC ormack, who have falsely
called myself the White Nun, wish to
make this public statement. I was born
of Catholic parents, brought up in the
Catholic religion and attended St. Mar
garet's Catholic school, Airdrie, from the
time was years of age until was IA.
I worked for one year in Airdrie weaving
mill and then took situation as general
servant in Glasgow. 1t was as servant
or as mill hand that lived until Sep
tember, 1893. I then met Mr.. --. He
induced me for the sake of making mon
ey to lecture againsts nuns and converts
aud he gave me book called Maria
Monk telling me to read it and obtain
my facts and knowledge of converts from
it. I have since learnt that the statements
in that book we're proved to be utterly
false by the daughter of the authoress.
I now wieh to state solemnly and public.
ly that I never was nun, that 1 was
never IN convent except when went
there for an hour in the evening to receive
instruction, and that all my staten ente
about nuns and converts we're taken
from that book given t., me. Inow wish
humbly and publically to beg pardon fol
all the scandal have given, to emplore
forgivness of those [ have slandered and
to devote my life to penance ard repara

has but began.xto rise. Those so-calleds
Democrats in the United States senste
who have for Ave months obStinately OPP
posed the expressed desire OF the people
they are supposed to represent will learn
that party platforms and victories are not
mere whims and accidents, but that they
are party laws and rules Of action which
must be regarded. A constitutional
tariff, something unknown in our ooun-
try. is what the national democracy de
clared for. It was that President Cleve-
land called for. It was that the Demo
Gratis OF the House of Representatives,
fresh from the people, endeavored to
give them. It was that which was de-
MED by the United States Senate, q more
unrepresentative, obstinate and useless
body than the House of Lords ever dared
to be. The flashing administered to the
Senate by President Cleveland was much
deserved ard is applauded by all good
men. 1t is high time that the people
should be allowed to elect senators or
better still that the Senate be abolished.
The action of small body of Democrats
in the United States Senate is entirely
without excuse. They do not represent
their constituents; they are usurpers
who imagine that the government hes
been entrusted to them to use it as they
see fit 1rrespectiveeof the public that has
so clearly and forcibly declared itself
They bad no authority to act as they
did. They have proven false to the
party that trusted them, but we are
pleased to think that the democratic pol
icy and party organization is independ,
ent of any one man or set of men.
Should the trusts be successful in
passing the German tariff bill or retain
ing the much repudiated Mckinley law,
the future has in store for them still
greater defeat than they have ever
dreamed of. 1t will be no longer tariff
reform but free trade. The time is com
ing, as it came in England, when every
restriction upon trade will be blotted
out at one stroke and American historians
will then ponder and try to give the rea-
son for their former existence just as
Eoglish historians do today. We hope
then that Grover Cleveland, who has
been tried so often and found to have
the right qualities, and the Democrats OF
the House, will stand out firmly for the
original bill. This is no time, for
compromise. We are anxious for q
settlement, anxious for commercial
rest and peace and a termination of this
useless, tiresome diesension, but we are
not so anxious for settlement that we
would surrender principles and yield to
the plutocra who call themselves Dem
ocrats. 70 the threats of German, Brice
and Smith that it is the Senate bill or
nothing, we say give us nothing. 1t
would be infinitely more satisfactory to
the masses and more to the praise of the
Democratic party, than the acceptance oil
the Senate botch work. For then Con-
gress could go home and the Democrats
could say 1--WE were unable to agree
Buff the Senate bill is accepted the
Democratic party will be disgraced and
the battle against unnecessary and un.
equal taxation set back for many years

We have often been asked, says the
Colorado Catholic, why the Irish Ameri-
cans are mostly Democrats. We believe
the chief reason Is that the Democratic
party in the early fifties, when the parent
Of the A. P. Aism, the Knownothing
movement, was strongest, stepped into
the breach and helped defend the Irish
as we'll as all other foreign born citizens.
There is another reason. however. The
Irish in their own country have been the
slaves Of an intolerant aristocracy, who
treated them as class as If they were so
much lumber. Democracy being natu-
rally the antithesis Of aristocracy claimed
and secured the loyalty of the Irish
American citizens. It cannot be ques-
toned for an instant that the Irish
Americans are the most steadiast in
their allegiance to any political principle
they adopt. They have been and are
the hardest workers in all the parties,
and it is primarily for this reason that
they are the recipients ofso much polite
al recognition and preferment. Men who
work hardest, for . party's success de-
serve reward. This is Why the Irish.
Americans get it. They are natural
politicians who do not spare themselves
in political fight, and as . rule Trey
produce the best results in their various
department d. When n1en do this, party
managers are not slow. 70 perceive i, and
hence Irish- Americans are. given thst

SATURDAY, JULY %, 1894.
HILL AND GORMAN.

States Senate commanding more than
ordinary attention at present. Those
two are David B. Hill and Arthur p.
German. Their hostility to President
Cleveland has kept them of late con-
stantly before the public. In some ways
they are much alike, both being ambitious
to be president. Both belong to the old
line Of Democrats. Both are oted for
their sagacity rather than their states
manship Neither of them is an orator,
although Hill is an excellent debator.
Each of them has beer up and down in
the estimation of their party in the last
few years. At present they are looked
upon with suspicion by the masses of the
party. 1t Is believed that Hill is but
waiting for chances to punish the admin
istrstion on account of his dislike for the
President. German is welded to the
past and consequently opposes the radi-
cal measures of his party. His whole
influence is negative. He opposed the
nomination of Grover Cleveland in 1892
because Cleveland stood for the new
order of things. When Congress was
called together in special session to re-.
peal the silver legislation German advo-
Gated compromise because senatorial
courtesy allowed minority to prevent
progress on the measure for weeks; but
the firm stand of the President and the
people compelled hum to yield. German
is extremely conservative; having been
raised from boyhood in the Senate he has
had little chance to feel the pulse of the
people. He is q thorough politician. In
his tastes and associations he is an aris-
tocrat and cons' quently it is with diff
Guilty that he supports measure detrl-
mental to the interests Of corporations.
Arthm P. German, in his long political
career, has come too little in contact
with the people. His political estate has
been too secure. It has been very dit.
ferent in the case of Senator Hill. His
position he has won before the people
and no man in public life is closer to the
public pulse than he. He is as good a
Diplomat as German and far his superior
in his knowledge of men and political
changes. 1t is seldom of late years that
we have felt called upon to defend
David B. Hill. But his action in the
last two weeks calls for the approval of
the whole Democratic party. It matters
not from what motives he has 90 acted,
his words have been warning to the
compromise senators. He has acted as
their mentor and done it manfully.
When he agreed wi b his enemy, the
President, he did not hesitate to say so
candidly. Whatever may be charged to
Hill it must be admitted that he is frank
and fearless, not afraid to oppose the
popular head of the executive department
of the government when he felt It to be
his duty and right. not too proud to sup
port him when he felt that to be his
duty.
AS between German and Hill and their
political methods give us Hill. He works
in an open honest way although his ends
are not always justi6able.
