NEW YEARS DAY.

This is the last issue Of the Irish Stand
ard for 1895, as next Wednesday will usher
in the New Year, 1896. Il will be accord
ing to custom day of good resolutions
when a determination is generally made
to do something different from the line OF
action we had been pursuing during the
year which has just been added to its
multitude of fellows. Those whose hab-
it's are not in accordance with the highest
moral code will resolve to put them away
forever; those whose selfishness has been
the cause of others being denied many
of the good things of life will make reso-
!utions that they will atone for the past;
those whose extravaganza has brought
them almost ON the verge of disaster will
curtail their prodigal ways; and those
aims and ambitions lrave not been real
lied will resolve over again to achieve
them.
The coming year will be followed with
events of a striking nature. A presideil-
tial election will occur and in that event
veal or woe will be brought to the doors
of many The nation itself will be affected
in similar way. The possibilities are
prodigious. From the outcome OF that
electoral contest the foundation viii be
laid for the continuation Of national pros
perity or on the other hand national
policy which will be highly detrimental.
And think of that iItnumerabie cara
van that will march to that bourne
whence ITO traveller returns. Think Of all
the. disappointnents in life, all the hopes
deferred which maheth the heart sick
and think, too, Of the blessings and happy
days that will be vouchsafed to many
But even in the multitude of bitter disap-
pointnlents some clouds with silver liI-
eings will pass before the eyes Of those
who oftentimes consider themselves the
most .wretched Of beings.
The publishers of the Irish Standard
will join the serried ranks Of those who
make beneficent pledges to themselves
and will resolve to issue each week a
paper that will be superior to the one
til at preceded it, and in making this res
olution it would ask its numerous read
ers to resolve to continue their we'll
wishes and generous support. To all OF
them it trusts that merry Christmas
fell to their LOT and the hope is sincere
that to each one will come a happy New.

There is one contingency in the eastern
crisis which may well I'LL the civilized
world with dread. ..s r3s:.
The Turkish empire rests upon .:eli-
gious, not an clinical Or political fou1da-
tion. The sultan reigns by divine right,
ard his chief Office is that Of defender OF
the Faithful No sultan will be allowed to
live, or, If his life be spared, to have his
liberty who should tolerate in practice q
theory implying that Christians are liot
dogs, and the dog isy the most despised
and vilest thing OF the Orient, says the
Chicago-Times Herald.
Abdul Hamid would have sought peace
long since in attempting to fulfill hss
promises to the powers if he were not
perfectly aware that the first step of a
practical nature to place the Christian Oh
a par socially or civi}ly with the Mohan-
medan would be elooked upon as both trea-
son and sacriIege by his people It is not
to be expected that the powers can cnerce
him into personal submission without
running the danger of lighting the fire
of fanaticism Throughout the empire.
With the overthrow Of a monarch would
come the rise of Islam. What would it
mean?
Within the Turkish dominions in
Europe and Asia 10000, 900 of Mohamne-
dams, we'll armed, courageous aad desper-
ate, precipitated against 100000 OF
Christians, for the most part without
arms and rendered incoherent by racial
animosities. sectarian ambitions and for
eign intrigue. Sixteen against five is not
a reassurjng ratio.
But 16, 100000 does not represent Islam
Lord Salisbury gave significant hint to
Armenian sympathizers in England by
reminding them that Queen Victoria is
the sovereign OF. larger Mohammedan
world than the sultan. In British India
there are nearly G0G0o000 followers Of
the prophet In Persia there are 100000
Mohammedans. Morocco contains at
least 2.O00, 900 who adhere to Mohamme-
dan traditions
If an inevitable consequence Of the dis
solution of the sultan CT Turkey shall
be the rise of Islam, g, Christian world
may we'll ponder whether the price to be
paid doesnot far exceed the probable ben
eft. Russia alone has shown ability to
disintegrate by installments-that is. by
successive detachments of portions of the
empire, to each of which in turn, auto
cracy as she is herself, she has secured
the .rudiments of home rule.
Why, then, should not the progress OF
Russia toward Constantinople be well
coined by the western world as the only
method by which the Turkish empire
shall be safely dissolved? For by that
method alone can the rise Of Islam be
prevented.

A SERIOUS THING.

! The Canadian Freeman comments upon
the Healy attitude in Ireland as follows:
They are still wrestling with Archb.sh-
OF Walsh's suggestion for convention to
settle the Irish factional disputes. Re-
ferring to the claim recently made on be-
half of Mr.. T. M. Healy that tp.ne-tenths
of the bishops, priests and people Of Ire
land'' are on his side in his present con-
test with the mojority of the, Irish Parlia-
mentary party, an Irish priest declares in
letter to the Dublin Freeman that the
vast bulk of all that is best and noblest in
the priesthood of Ireland will be found or
the side OF decency and union against dis
ruption and disgrace" This is highly
gratifying certainty, says the Irish World.
The priestood are for decency and union,
and in regard to the present satuat.on III
Irish affairs, both mean the same thing.
Deceny calls for union. 1t demands tina.

for national justice shall not, by the wran-
Cling Of a few men, be exposed to the jeers
and insults OF English Tories, as illustrated
IN the tone and language Of Lord Salisbury

Irish quarrel;ng which delights the Tory
leader, is i shame and humiliation to the
Irish race; it is therefore indecent. Tbs

as The priest in his letter thus points ou5:
when Mr.. Healy referred Sc contempt

the country as assemblies Of 'stoussr5 be-

people are against him. Permit me to say
that it would be very serious thing for
The Irish church if the boasa Of Mr.. Healy' 5
friends were true, and that ne could count
OH the support of the majority Of the priests
of Ireland while the masses Of our people
are ranged-as they are ranged--at tha
other side" To make it appear that the
priesthood of Ireland were on one side;
and the people on the other IN national af-
fairs was part of the evil work undertaken
by the Parnell:te faction. They failed.
With bishops and priests all over the coua-
try declaring and working for Home
Rule, the attempt to Snow that they were
anti-nat;onal was a hopeless one. Equally
hopeless is it to try 70 make out thai they
are now in sympathy with the. do:ngs
which only quite recently have been de-
nlored and condemned by two great Irish

TALK OF WAR.

2. Y. S1nalley, president of the st. Paul
Chamber of Commerce, in discussing the
presidents message says there is a:strong
sentiment that the possession of Canada
by Great Britain, with boundary line of
1000 miles, is prejudicial to our national
interests, and that negotiations should
speedily be begun looking to either the
independence of Canada Or the union OF
the Canadian provinces with the United
States. .'5s. ~ 49,
Did Mr.. Smalley ever stop to consider
that Canada has as much right to her
possessions as the United States to the
territory it controls? Bunconbe is not
patriotism. If Canada has 1000 miles Of
territory she has it by the same rights
as has the United States. When the Can
adams feel like annexing themselves to
this country they may do so. If they
are coerced or compelled in amy way to
become part Of the Union the bargain
would be sorry one This country has
as much territory as it can handle with
propriety.
Since the presidents message an idea
has taken possession of the people; or
rather portion of them, that we must
get into war with some nation, England
tional reputation. We seem to want to
add MILLIONS to our present indebtedness.
A portion of the people are shouting
for war. To them the idea is war at any
cost. Those who are shouting most have
no intention of taking part in the strug
gle. They will stand on the hill tops and
cheer the fighting fellows on. They will
save their muscle while exhibiting their
prowess.
AS matter of principle there is moth
ing for this country to go to war about
with England. The honor of the nation
is not at stake The Monroe doctrine is
not involved. We should understand
ourselves. 1t is an easy thing to plunge
the people into a bloody strife, but the
dollars and cents but the cost in human:
lives, deserted homes, wailing widows,
aud homeless children. The man who
supposes he is representing the people
and in his place i'll congress urges OIL d
war should hedf in mind that ne is only
tickling his fancy, and is representing no
one but himself.
. The day is past, or should be passed,
when handful of people can lead mill
ions into misery. When this country
fought for freedom in the revolutionary
days all the progressive peopie of the.
world applauded. At that time a seven
years war enlisted the hearts and minds.
of all the nations Of the earth. Even Eng
land herself in but little time felt the
Justice of the strife But at the present
time we have nothing at stake. Louis
Napoleon went to war with Germany be-.
cause he was compelled to save. himself
from thepWrath of the people. Are we in
this country following in his footsteps in
order that the president of this country
shall be elected for a third term?
s These are some of the questions the
thinking people are looking into just
now.
