A NEW TACK.

The New York Sun, quoting from the
Daily Standard, Of Boston. the new A.
p. A. organ, says: ut is fair to say that
lust at this time the Standard and it's
constituency are not in love with the
low-browed, long Tipped Irish kelt who
runs gin mill, or may be two, and runs
at the same time our politics"
Commenting on this the Sun says:
ave don't know what they look like IN
Boston, but perhaps it is also fair to say
lust at this time that the men who run
the gin mills in this town don't look like
the picture painted by the Boston Stand.
ard. They are not 'low- browed and long
lipped.' On the contrary, fortunately
or unfortunately, as the case may be,
they ere SAID to be remarkably good
looking set of fellows; and we swear by
all the bartenders of Boston that it
would be hard for the editor of the
Standard to match them in beauty with
amiable members Of the A. 2. "A"
The IRISH STANDARD congratulates It's
Boston contemporary on the advantage
it has. of what there is in a name, and
also on its originality. We thought we
had met with about every scheme OF
downing the Irish" that could be i'm
agined, but we confess we never heard
of the Irish being condemned because
of their lack OF beauty. There is con-
ISOLATION, however, in the fact that every
rule Is subject to exception. It is q, lit,
tie hard to see how the A. P. A. organ OF
Boston hopes to down the Irish in poll
tics on account of their LONELINESS, ex-
cept it be to allow the women to vote;
and then what about the homely women,
the bi-skirted women, which classes are
said to be so numerous in "Bosting?"
Is it not barely possible that, the Irish
would use their smooth diplomacy with
these women and run the politics of the
Hub just as they have in the past?
Now as we understand the anti Irish
doctrine, it is that that the Irish must
be downed because they get there
into Office. Just now we are in very
1nerciful frame Of mind and very much
disposed to give our A. 2. A. friend in
trouble all the practical knowledge we
have OF the Irish character. But really
aa long as the Irishman is built the way
he is at present there can be little hope
of keeping him out of Office.

The annual report Of the Society for
the Preservation Of the Irish Language
gives On encouraging account OF the
progress made during the year. Thirty
three National teachers passed the ex-
aminations and obtained certificates to
teach during the year. The Irish langu-
age was taught in So Of the schools OF
the Board; 1,051 pupils we're examined,
OF whom 676 passed. A considerable
amount Of interesting correspondence
was received, amongst which was a most
interesting from Mr. j. Fitzgerald Lee,
OF Rockville Castle, Kangra District,
India, who gives an account Of his philo-
gical studies with Buddhist priest,
who was enthusiastic about the Gaelic
tongue, and prepared version Of the
First Irish Book in the Urdoo dialect.
The Buddhist Jaw many similarities be-
tween Irish and the ancient language Of
the East. The report announces that
new and cheap edition Of 'Donovan'a
Irish Grammar has been edited by the
Rev. Dr.. McCarthy, and is just about be-
ing issued from the University Press.
The work OF Preserving the Irish. tongue
has progressed splendidly during the
year. We trust that during this year
also the Society may continue to prosper
and extend it's sphere Of usefulness.

LINCOLN AND HUGHES.

Friendly Relations Between President Lin.
coin and Archbishop Hughes;
The following letter appeared in last
Mondays Minneapolis Times in reply to
an attack made on Archbishop Hughes
by the Methodist exhorter and real es-
tate epeculator, Rev. David Tice:
A few days ago there appeared in your
columns a lengthy communication from
that prolific contributor to the press,
Rev. David Tice, gentleman who seems
to be intoxicated by the exuberance Of
his OWE verbosity. He took occasion to
animadvert on the patriotism of the late
Archbishop Hughes, Of New York, be-
cause Father Cleary had euloglzed that
great prelate g few evenings previously
by saying he was Lincoln's trusted friend
and adviser in the stormy days Of the
Civil War. Rev. Tice, as everybody
knows, happens to be afflicted with that
terrible malady called "rabies Romano"
and, Like q good Methodist ais he is, he
deemed it his duty to cast reflections
upon the character Of Archbishop
Hughes by giving long quotation from
an anonymous source, in which Lincoln
was made to say that the patriotism Of
the New York prelate was not Of genu
inc quality. The undignifed language
attributed to the noble Lincoln in speak
ing Of the distinguished prelate must
have been surprise to your readers, as
it was to myself, and doubling the au-
Of the quotations, I consulted
the various biographies of the martyr
president, but found no such language
ever uttered BY him. s. turned to the
stLife Of Seward Z his great secretary,
thinking I would find it, but in vain. I
ransacked the public library and found
it not. was thinking Of asking Mr..
.Iice where be found it, whom ! accident

suppose he got that quotation?

iments. If LII Hung Chang had not
been shot while attending a peace con-
ference in Japan it is more than likely
that Japanese armies would now be
marching on Pekin. The attack on the
old Chinese ambassador changed the
whole situation. Tt created q sympathy
for China which did not exist before.
The world was engaged in admiring the
brilliant moves Of the Japanese troops
and the sudden advent into the world OF
another great power. People recognized
in the rise of Japan the most important
national movement since the Franco.
Prussian war. It was expected that
nothing would come out of the peace
negotiations but the refusal Of China to
accept the terms of Japan and that
Japan would march to Pekin and there
confer with the powers Of Europe as to
the fnalsdisposition Of the Chinese en-
pire. But all this was changed by the
act Of an insane boy. He did more to
rob his country Of laurels than half q
dozen Chinese victories could have done.
The result has been that an armistice
was conceded by Japan to last until
noon April 20. During thls time mill
tary movements are to cease in certain
districts. ~. s
1t looks now as though peace would
be arranged and on far more favorable
terms for China than could have been
arranged before the attack on Ii Hung
Chang; There is Of course chance that
the present negotiations will end in moth
ing and that the march on Pekin will be
resumed by the Japanese with renewed
vigor. The delay in hostilities can ben

ie such that no effort at improvement
will be made. In her present condition
China cannot aid herself. She has not

military movements have been prompt

Europeans living il Japan have been
unable to gain knowledge Of events
prior to their happening. What they ul-'
want to do with China and with

ing all that there really is at stake, as the
matter will turn out, as gentlemen know,
it seems to me very important that what
ever we say here will have tendency to
strengthen the credit of the government.
We are not through with our difficulty.
We have long months in front of us before
the period of recuperation sets in We
ought not to do anything or say anything
which will make that period of revival
longer in coming than it ought to be- l,
therefore, feel called upon for my part
to reinforce the remarks ably made by
NV friend. the gentleman from Illinois
(Mr Cannon) as to what the government
has done in the past with its bonds. Its
bonds today ought to stand
IN THE FRONT RANK
of national bonds, if honesty of effort in
the payment of the same could count Tor
anything in the history OF the country.
Gentlemen say that we are at liberty
to pay these bonds in something else be-
sides the equivalent of gold. Whether we
are or not, the fact remains that urged on
by an inexorable law we have thus far
paid in gold or it's equivalent, and every
man in this house believes that we shall
do SO in the future. (Applause.)
This does not in any way initiate
against anybody's belief, whether national
or international. Men who favor the free
coinage Of silver are so, because they be-
leye the free coinage of silver would bring
sides Of this house in parties, which are
recognized in the government of the coun-
try Oaughter) are agreed as to the result.
And it is great pity that should be
in a condition so that anybody could make
anv other charge. But diseases Turk ready
TO attack a system which has been weak
ened by other diseases, or by cold or ex-
nosure Now, the trouble of our situation
is that our body polite, our government
has been so reduced by two years of party
rule of such character that our ex-
penses are not paid by our income, that the
Government of the United States has been
running behind.
whatever severity of criticism Is be-
slowed upon the present situation, great
or severity of criticism is to be bestowed
unon the past, and this agreement, pre-
scented here for the inspection of the house,
is in accord it seems to me, with the gov
eminent of this country for the last two
wears 1t may be that / judge harshly. 1t
NAV he that this agreement is the result
of the unfortunate condition in which 1t
was found 1t may be that no guilt at
taches TO this except SO far as it is the re-
su1t of causes which never ought to have
been set in motion
This resolution does not involve the
ESTABLISHMENT OF A POLICY,
it is simply action, a single transaction OF
the government. Some tell us 1t would
govern all future transactions. but 1 do
not believe that the secretary of the treas
ury would attempt another such contract,
after his experience with this. The policy
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1895-02-20

of redeeming our outstanding obligations in
gold was established by a Democratic ad-
ministration. The bonds issued under the
contract made by Secretary Carlisle were to
produce gold Does any one imagine that
gold bonds will be released when they are
redeemed When Secretary Sherman issued
bonds for gold he announced that being is
sued for gold they would be redeemed in
gold. The trouble seemed to be that many
did not understand this. They did not
treat the matter fairly, when they spoke of
it affecting mono metallism or bimet-
allism. A nation could not be sued, but,
like a gentleman, it had its honor to pre-
serve. 1t could not act dishonorably.'
Mr. Reed called attention to the fact that
on June Is, $780, Messrs. Wilson, Bynum,
Turner, Montgomery and Tarsney, all Of
whom would be found voting for the bill,
had voted for a free coinage of silver. A
great laugh convused the house as Mr.
Reed produced the record. The gentleman
from Maine frowned, however, and dis
claimed any intention of raising laugh.
Il simply mention this" he said, ito
show the constraining influence Of those
in power Oaughter)
"And everyone who is now voting the
other way has been retired to private life"
shouted Mr.. Wheeler (Dem., Ala) Gre
newed laughter)
"A nations credit is it's strong hod,''
concluded Mr. Reed. Disasters may hap
pen, a Democratic administration may oc-
cur anything in short may happen, but
the most important thing always is to pre-
serve the national credit and, therefore, we
should not let our Indignation at the terms
of this contract swerve US from our duty.
Mr. Bynum Dem., Ind combated the
statement by Mr.. Bryan that the resolution
would retire $50 600, 600 in greenbacks, and
added that the Democratic administration
would be sustained, however hercely the
waves beat against it.
The debate was closed by Mr.. Wilson,
who admitted that the contract contained
very hard terms for the government, but
he believed those terms were the best that
could be obtained. But congress could,
bv giving the secretary of the treasury au-
thority to write in the bond what the con-
tracing parties thought should be there,
although all agreed that the bonds would
be redeemed in gold, saving to the tax pay
ers 100000 a year.
In conclusion Mr. Wilson said no matter
how members may differ as TO the imam.
cial opinions and acts of the secretary OF
the treasury, no one in the house, who mao
known him, would dare to question his IN
tegrity. This statement was heartily ap'
plauded.
