AGAIN THE ARCHBISHOP.

Discussing Archbishop Ireland's recent
letter upon. the Chicago platform, the Bos-
ton Republic says:
| Archbishop Ireland Of St. Paul, mas
made his quadrennial contribution to the
literature Of the Republican campaign.
The archbishop is an old-l.ne Republican
in politics, and In the campaigns Of 1884.
1888 and 1892 he rendered valuable service
to his party. We regret that the formal
statement of his views recently issued to
the country has been pitched upon so low
a key. He has gone further than most Of
his fellow Republicans IN branding those
who adhere to the Chicago platform as an
archists and dangerous elements.
We do not propose to argue the question
with his grace Of st: Paul, but we venture
to dispute the correctness of his estimate
Degrading the supreme court). We don't
believe that any political party in this
country favors anarchy, the destruction Of
social order or the overthrow Of the
3.
We don't imagine for moment that the
brilliant metropolitan of st. Paul intended
to take sides with the trusts and monop-
olists who are crushing out competition
in trade so that they may enrich them
selves at the expense of the people. But
the tone Of his words would lead to this
conclusion.
And if the people cannot be trusted to
settle all the questions that arise and that
affect their welfare and their interests,
who can be trusted? Would Archbishop
Ireland advise them to delegate this sort
of work to Hanna, Quay, Plat, Dave"
Martin, Lauterbach, John I. Davenport,
j. Pierpont Morgan and the supreme pres
ident of the A. P. A? .-.
We quote with pleasure the following
calm and conservative utterance of Car
dinal Gibbons upon the political excite
ment aroused by the discussion of the Is
sue of the present campaign:
cts always SO. We find each side
predicting the most dire disaster II tri-
umph should follow to the other, and yet
when all is over the country proves to be
as safe as ever. For my part, I have the
greatest faith in the stability of American
institutions, and no matter how high the
discussion may run do not allow myself
to be disturbed, for I know that the pa
triotism of the American people may al
ways be depended upon" -.

: Pope Leo XIII, it is known, has very
nervous temperament, and this, added to
his incessant work and exertions, renders
him liable to frequent insomnia. He has
not slept lately much more than two hours
9, night. When sleep does not come to him
he compeses Latin verses, or calls one Of
his secretaries and dictates to him, in h.a
bed room, sentences, sketches for docLa
ments or for encynicai letters, and thus
keeps constantly at work. The principal
physical trouble with the Pope is that he
catches ocolds easily, which render him
voiceless for few days, but which do not
affect his general health.

p. Fitzpatrick, Democratic candidate
for congress in the First district, is an
old resident of Winona and has held
various positions Of trust during his
many years of residence there. An able
attorney, an honest, conscientious gentle-
man, who has the confidence and respect
of his fellowmen wherever he is known,
such man is the nominee of the united
silver forces in the First district. Cap
able, patnstaking and efficient in what
ever work assigned him, Mr.. Fitzpatrick'a
election to congress would not only prove
beneficial To his district but to the entire

HOW 1T WORKS.

Just now the gold standard men are 80
anxious about the working mans wages
that they cannot sleep at night. One of
these overly anxious gentlemen In this
city is praying every day for Bryan's de-
feat because, he says, should he be
elected, the workingman's wages will SUI
fer-he will be obliged to accept 53-cent
dollars in. payment for his services, but
nevertheless all these 53-cent dollars
when they get into the possession OF the
silver mine owners will be worth 100
cents. How that can be possible the Nc
Kinley shouters are too busy just now
electing Hanna to explain. They will
have more time after election.
The anxious gentleman aforesaid deals
in stoves and he has in his employ man
with family to whom he pays dollar
day. The business is large and pros
porous one and it is supposed that the
owners are fearful lest this employe
should become bloated bondholder and
consequently they are looking after his
interest by keeping him at the wages
named. Recently this man, who with his
family was faring sumptuously on a dol
lar day desired q stove and the propri-
etors sold him one at what they said was
the wholesale price. Shortly afterwards
this high-salaried American working man
happened into another stove dealers
place and seeing stove exactly like the
one he bought from his employers, he
asked the price of It and to his amaze
ment was told that the retail price was 81
less than he had paid his employers.
1--WE will not suffer the scale of the
American workingman's wages to be re-
eluced," shout the Mckinley men. "Look
at the pauper labor Of Europe they all
sing in unison, and yet wealthy mer-
chants will grind the life out Of their en-
ployes by keeping them and their fam
lilies at starvation wages and then cheat
them in their purchases.
Perhaps this man who is living riot
Gus life on dollar day will vote for
the Hanna Mckinley combination and
perhaps he will not.

r. A. Walsh Is candidate for Judge Of
the district court in Ramsey county, and If
ability and integrity, coupled with years OF
service in the interest OF the working peo-
pie count for anything, he certainly should
be elected. In the legislature he has
worked energet:cally for the passage of
measures for the welfare Of those who la
Dor and has had the satisfaction OF seeing
many Of the bills introduced and advo-
Gated by him become law. Walsh Is en-
titled to the votes of all classes.

Regarding what the archbishop says
about hard times, the paper disposes of in
this fashion:
We have heard something like this be
fore. 1t was Tom Reed who pointed out
some Of the dangers before us, when he
said that the yellow man with the white
dollar was going to drive the white man
with the yellow dollar out Of the industrial
markets of the world. If We are to have
protection, let us have a protection that
protects, and the only protection that will
protect us from the Jap and the Chinaman
is the protection gwen by the use Of silver
as money. ss go
The plea Of overproduction is an old
one, but none the less amusing. When
we taink of this cry, this meaningless par
rot chlrp, and the remedy offered US by
the advocates Of the gold standard, we
feel that this campaign fairly rivals the
vale Of Kilkenny, where the cats consumed
each other to the tips Of their tails. What
becomes Of this argument in the light OF
what our opponents say? 1--WE are poor,
and times are bad because of OVERPRO-
DUCTION. And how will we cure this
condition? We will open the mills and
factories and PRODUCE MORE" Angels
and ministers of grace! Simil:a similibus
curantur!
But we will not undertake to argue the
points made by the archbishop seriatim.
They are the old ones, the dear, old fam1l-

laid away thousand times, and there g

Ireland's opinions upon the political IS

"are worth only az much as the opinions

that some instructions from the pope upon

but they would arrive too late to have any
