A DESERVED DEFEAT.

The result of Tuesdays election, where
by the Democrats were woefully slaugh-
! tered in twelve out of fourteen states, has
created no surprise. In this case it was
the expected that happened. It is an
other proof that the people cannot be
fooled all the time even by the shrewd-
est wirepullers and the most audacious
bosses. And yet there are number o1
reasons offered why the Democrats were
so badly beaten when in truth there is
but one reason and that reason every in
telligent man thoroughly understands
The Democratic bosses have wrought the
ruin Of the party which in all probability
will be kept in the background for some
years to come. They have utterly de-
stroyed the chances for 1896 unless by
some stupid blunder or combination OF
circumstances the Republicans should re-
fuse to grasp the prize which now lies al
most within their reach. But such q
circumstance is not likely to happen.
Was ever party blest with such polit-
ical prosperity as the Democratic party
has been during the last fewyears? Wan
dering like the children Of Israel for thir-
ty years, now and then catching glimpse
of the promised land, at last it entered it.
Immediately upon setting foot upon the
long denied possessions the leaders for
got the people who safely led them
through trials and disapp pointments and
gave them power to rule. These leaders
promised the people that redress for out
rageous wrongs would be given once they
got possession. Instead of redress they
Knocked those who bestowed upon them
the high privilege of legislation. The
suffering people asked for bread and
were given a stone. Knowing this and
feeling the neglect and injustice cast upon
them, at the first opportunity they
hurled from power the unworthy agents
they had sent to administer their affairs.
The act should be received with rejoicing
instead Of dependency The tares should
be taken from the wheat and piled on
the fires OF destruction. The men who
make trade of politics for their own
ends and to the detriment of the people
should be- cast out with a ruthless hand.
The Germans and Brices and Hills and
even the Clevs1ands should be made TO
understand that the people rule; that II
is. = government Of the people by the peo-
pie, for the people; that those who have
pet hobbies Of their own not
shared In by the multitude must
bow to the will Of the ma
sjority; and that those who wish TO take
advantage of the comp placency Of the pub
lie iii or der To- enrich themselves must
share is the coinatumely of those who are
ishonmed #1S9

and all those who took part in the cere-

church, the same as is done in any other
theatrical performance. The duke, one
Of the star actors In the play, refused to
rehearse, saying he didn't think it was
the proper caper. One thing he did say
before the performance, however, which
shows that he was paying strict attention
to his cues, was that he had profited by
his experience in this country. He did.
In fact his experience was all profit.

MICHAEL DAvlTT

A short time ago Dublin paper COM
mented upon Michael Davitt being in
Austr; liza attending to his own private
business after being elected to parlia-
ment, and hinteds that Davitt was con-
sequently Of selfish nature and not the
man b., was supposed to be. This ex-
preston Of opinion was taken up by the
Melbourne Advocate which said:
.'Who and where is he? our readers will
ask. It.cannot be, surely, that the Mr..
Michael Davitt who is with us at present,
az, whom we have most favorably
known, by reputation at least, for SO
many years? It cannot be Michael Da-
witt, the father ofsthe Land League, who,
for ireland, suffered shocking indignities
as a convict, and who, before that, and
many times since, has given the strong

him, cq6yersed with him and his charm

last week, and are. free to- confess that We
have far better opinion Of this muchly

Tans remarked, in his easy. off hand sort
Of way, Governor am glad to meet you.
From what had heard about YOU ex-
pected to see you wearing horns. list
ened to your speech with a great deal of
pleasure and interest and am glad had
the opportunity Of hearing you talk. OF
the five governors who made addresses at
the Milwaukee, Opera House, Altgeld re-
he had finished the crowd went wild with
enthusiasm determined to force
the governor to again appear. And what
he said was profund, philosophical and
patriotic. Albert H. Hall,;the well known
Minneapolis criminal lawyer, who sat
near us, leaned over and whispered in
our ear after Altgeld had finished, The
voice is the voice Of Altgeld, but the SEN
timents are the sentiments Of Lincoln
The strange thing. is that the audience
which the governor addressed was not
made up Of the so-called common people,
but was composed Of business and pro-
fessional men and high officials. It can
almost be said that they came to hiss
and remained to applaud. There is surely
something about the man that will for
years to come make him a prominent
figure in the politics Of our country"

a NEW VOLUME.

On Thursday of this week, November
l7, the Irish Standard was ten years ole
and today it issues number one of the
eleventh volume. The paper when started
was named the Northwestern STANDARD
and contained four pages with seven col
umns to a. page. During the early period
of its existence it,was obliged to struggle
to maintain itself, just as every news.
paper has done that has remained for any
| great length of time in the field. Unlike
almost all other kinds of business news.

stroy. @s. 81.
AT the outset it was conducted on the
cooperative plan by four persons, all o1
| whom had 9 practical knowledge Of tbe
printers craft. Before the close of tbs
| first year three OF the partners retired
their interests. having been purchased by
the fourth, Edward O'Brien. who thus be
came sole proprietor. The name was
then changed to The Irish Standard and
made an eight-page 48 column paper. ]
D. O'Brien, brother of the proprietor, al
this time become interested and assumed
it's management.

gressive paper was entered into and the
adherence to that determination has pro-
duced the inevitable result--a large and
Increasing number Of readers not only in
our own city and state but throughout the
west and northwest.
In April last the paper was again en-
larged to its present size and today it is
equal to the best and superior to the ma
jority of the Irish American journals OF
the country. It will still improve in every
way that will best conduce to the interests
cheerful and substantial support it has al
ready received will be an assurance that
it's aims and ambitions will be achieved
Ihe Irish Standard has adopted no
catch penny methods for its success but
has relied solely upon the efforts of its
publishers who have invariably taken a
pride in furnishing to its patrons what
was in their judgment the most inter
esting, reliable and instructive matter.
There is point to which. the publish
ers wish to draw attention, without even
the semblance of self-laudation, and that
is that The Irish Standard has never
changed proprietors or managers during
the term OF its existence This cannot be
said of any daily or weekly in either Min
neapolis or st. Paul and for this reason
its publishers may be excused for indulg-
ing in q small amount of pride.
If we deserve an increased recognition
and support we shall certainly attain it
and all our efforts shall be in that direct
tion.

At the close Of the campaign in Massa-
chusetts on Monday night it was an
nounced that the Democratic candidate
for governor was in favor of the little
school house, but he wanted the school
house white. Senator Hoar on the plat
form said he could suggest compromise
which would satisfy both parties. He
proposed to take as an emblem the little
red checked school marm with a shingle
IN her hand. All the voters with the
memory of past days must have WINGED

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge says con-
cerning England and the Venezuelan mat
ter:
eve forced France to evacuate Mexico.
We cannot permit England to occupy
Venezuelan territory. If we allow Eng
land to land troops and invade Venezuela
and hold new territory we abandon our
rights and duties and our established
position in the Western hemisphere and
sink in the scale of nations. To this, in
my opinion, the American people will
never submit. If England thinks they
will, England is grievously in error
cannot imagine that Lord Salisbury's gov
ment desires to force a war on the
United States, but the policy it has an
nounced can have no other result if per-
sisted in. The appearance OF British
fleets and armies for the conquest OF
American territory will bring another
war with the United States, for the Amer
ican people will never allow such action
on the part of any foreign power, and
ought not to dose 1t is said that Presi-
dent Cleveland has already sent a vigor-
Gus protest TO England in regard to Vene-
zuela. If he has done so, he will have
the cordial support Of Americans Of all
political parties The president and con-
gress, Republicans and Democrats, will
be united in resisting at any cost the seiz-
.ure or armed invasion of any American
territory such as is now apparently pro.
posed by England with reference to vene-
zuela.''
That has the true ring to it, and there
is no doubt the sentiments would be car
ried out to the letter in case England
should persist in her course of aggres-
sion.
