Davitt on War;

Michael Davitt on being interviewed in
Philadelphia recently was asked what he
thought would be the result of a war be-
tween this country and England, when he
said:
.sWell, I take It this country would
not send her ships out to sea to do battle,
and that England would have to send her
army here. She never could send enough
troops to this country to whip the United
States. All the other powers whom Eng
land has insulted would clap their hands
and rejoice at .England,s misfortune. But
this war talk is all exaggerated. If Sails
bury went before the country at a general
election on that issue. he would be whip
ped out Of his boots. The people OF Eng
land do not want to engage with the
United States in war. They are. closely
interested in the people Of this country
and in her Industries. Moreover, they
want the cheap food products which
comes from America, and a war would
double the cost of living to the English
people. .... :.s5

Resolutions of Coincidence.

At a regular meeting of Division No. 4,
A. o. H., held at Minneapolis, Hennepin
county, Dec. 13, 1895, the following reso-
lutions we're adopted:
Whereas, The Almight God in his in
finite wisdom has removed from the cares
of this life J. E. Hoy, the beloved brother
of Henry. Richard and G. B. Hoy, and
Whereas, by his death they have lost a
loving brother. the church a true and
consistent Catholic, and the city a loyal
and respected citizen; therefore, be:
Resolved, That we, the members of
Division No. 4, A. o. H., do hereby ten
der to Brothers Henry, Richard and G. B.
Hoy our earnest sympathy in their sad
berea ayements: and be it further
Resolved, That, we most deeply sympa-
thize with his father and mother and his
grief stricken widow, in this their hour Of
deep afflictions and commend them for
true consolation to Him who can alone
assuage the grief ana tighten the burden
that has SO heavily oppressed them.
Resolved, That these resolutions be in
scribed in the minutes Of this meeting,
and be published in the irish Standard
and copy sent to the family of the de-
ceased.

SUPp0SING WE FOUGHT
The Strength Of England Compared
With Ourselves.

A broad smile of genuine amusement
must now be wreathing the countenances
Of the followers of Mr.. Gladstone at the
snarl into which Lord Salisbury and his
Conservatives have got themselves, says
the Hibernian. Salisbury stands as the
representative of the lingo party in Great
Britain, the party that always wanted to
fight. If it should come to war between
us and Great Britain the real sympa-
th;es of every nation in Europe, except
Span, would be on our side, not because
they like u.s. but because they do not like
England England stands alone, insular,
self-suf1icient and unsympathetic. The
feeling she puts out to them they put
back toward her with interest. Nothing
would please them better than to see her
involved in dispute with us 1t would
be the signal for Russia Instantly to re-
new her aggressions ON the British north
ern boundary in India. Germany and
France would reach out for more terri
tory in Africa, and they would not be par
ticular whether their reach Overlapped
British claims or mot. She would have to
drop all mediation in the Turkish ques-
ton and perhaps lose Egypt to France.
She would have her hands so full with
us that she could no longer look out for
her trade interests in Japan and China.
The British Isles have a population in
round numbers of 40,000,000. OF these
people 100000 are Irish. and they, al
most to a. man, would keep up such a
fire in the rear that it would require
large part OF the British army to hold
them in order Ireland would welcome
nothing so much as an English war with
the United States. IT
1t IS true that England has an army of
1000 men, while we have only 25,000.
But in weeks time we could put l,O00,-
900 men in the field from our population
of 5000 900. 1t is true that England has
564 warships, while we have only II. But
how quickly we cam build fighting ves-
sells was shown during the Civil War
Besides what good would all her navy
do England in case Of a war with us?
She could not hurt our foreign commerce,
for we have none. Our products are ship
ped in British vessels, and England
would be turning her guns on her own
ships and subjects if she attacked mer-
chantmen from our shores.
1t lis true, that England might batter
down Boston and possibly New York, but
T. hours would take possession OF Can
ada and British America, and they would
be ours forever. What IS more, at least
half the inhabitants of those regions
| would be glad of it. Finally Great Brit
ain has 1000. 100000 more or less invest
ed in the United States regularly paying
her people dividends. Can she afford to-
throw all that away?

republics against the United Kingdom IS
the lack of uniformity Of arms. Our reg
ular army is about equipped with the
Krag -Jorgensen small caliber rifle, adopt
ed over a year ago. This arm WILL nre
five successive shots without reloadlns,
and will carry a. bullet further than any
other rifle made. The national guard,
however, still carries the antlquateo
Springfield, which must be loaded before
each fire. 1t will be about five years 'De-
fore the national guard can be equlppeu
with the new rifles at their present rate
of manufacture, about $4,000 year.
Each of the South and Central Amer,-
can states has it's characteristic arm, and
many doubtless carry variety OF pat
terms. Suppose all of the troops OF the
United States, Central and South America
were concentrated for war. About 25
magazine factories must be required to
operate night and day making that many
sizes of cartridges. Each nationality
would be disabled without its special
brand of ammunition because 1T could
not borrow from neighboring army us
ing a different shell. Great Britain's in
fantry is equipped with rifle which will
repeat IL shots. The whole army can be
supplied from one factory, and one regi-
menu can ODCdlll d. new supply Ol Codt
ridges from any other. ,t
Brnzils navy consists of 10 vessels,
seven Of which are armored. Only two
Of these are battleships, the largest hav-
ing displa cement OF $500 tons and an
armor belt IL inches thick. Besides
these, Brazil has % torpedoboats. It is
also building IL new naval vessels, four
Of which are to be ironclads. Argentina
has II ships in it's navy, five Of which are
armored. besides 81 torpedo boats. Its
largest vessel has a displacement of 4,20O
tons and an armor belt of nine inches.
Chile can add to this II vessels and 22
torpedo boats It's largest is O. battleship
of 5000 tons, with 12-inch belt. Uru-
quay can lend 10 vessels, three of which
are gunboats. The navies of the remain
ing republics of Central and South Amer
lea are very insignificant as individuals,
but if concentrated would make quite a
large feet to act as commerce destrcyeTs.
With this combined navy Uncle Sam
could at least defend his principal sea-
ports. 1t is Thought that this task would
be easy with such powerful aids as the
ram Katahdin and the monitor Puritan.
There would be nothing to fear it John
Bull should land all his redccats upon

In an Accident On the South Side Last
Evening.
a very bad accident, one that might
have resulted mores seriously, occurred
at the corner OF Twenty-second and
Main streets about halG-past yes
terduy afternoon. AS car "a was going
down Main street and nearcd the cor
ncr Of Twenty second, two-horse
team attached TO an express wngon
came down .Twenty-second and alb
uptly turned up Main street at a pref
" good gait The motormnn saw the
danger too late to stop the car and It
struck the tongue OF the wagon, knock
Ing the horses completely around and
catching the hind leg OF one OF the
animals under the truck and fairly
pulled It out OF the socket and broke It
Just above the hoof. Officer Wolf shot
the horse and put It out OF It's misery.
The accident caused considerable eN-
element and some Said the mOtorman
was running his car fast without ring
Ing his bell. II IL stated that the car
was coming from the ball game and
was behind time. The spectators say
the driver was -aFtly to blame for
driving his team so recklcssly, cspecl-
ally at the cornc- when he turned up
Main street without stacking up in the
least.
The team belonged to an express man
named Criswell who. with another
gentleman. was on the wagon at the
time Of the accident.
