empty exchequer, and a strong government

death or only a sleep before new birth
none can say, but certainly it is very
heavy sleep at present. Meanwhile the

The wise men Of the Republican or gold
bug party are already saying that conf
dence must be restored before business will
revive. But were we not told that bankers.
and all other business men were just stand
ing about with their hands in their pock-
cts waiting to see now the political cat
would jump? If the aforesaid cat jumped
towards Mckinley then the bankers would
hand out gold, the smoke of the chimneys
would be seen, the mill wheels begin to re-
svolve and the whole earth would blossom
as the rose. It Bryan were elected, how
ever, the black clouds Of stagnation would
appear, the bankers and other business
men would continue with their hands In
their pockets; standing around and waiting,
Mtcawber-1ike, for something to turn UP.
But Mckinley has been elected and yet the
wise men still shake their heads and tell
us that the election Of any one man cannot
have a beneficial effect upon trade; that
one swallow does not make a summer.
Are we still to listenss t. lugubrious stories
and wait for 8 year Or two until Hanna
gets his cabinet arranged. the protection
theory is put into operation, and then be
told that we are all in tie hands Of Provi-,
dence and can do nothing Of ourselves?

SOME BLUNDERs.

Some of our Catholic contemporaries
are decidedly lax in the insertion of mat
ter that is overlooking with mistakes
that the Office boy, himself, could easily
detect. says the Colorado Catholic AS
an example, we see going the rounds OF
our Catholic exchanges, biographical mo-
tees of Father Conaty, Fathr Mooney
and Father R.ordan that are filled with
the most ridiculous Inaccuracies. Fa-
Their Conaty, for example, has been put
down at forty years of age and as having
studied for eight years in st. Joseph s
seminary. at Troy, N. Y, where the
course, until recently, was never more
than four years and four months. Father
RioGrian is put down as IS years Of age
when, in reality, he has been ordained
now some twenty seven years. The en-
tire article is full Of like absurdities, and
we note already half dozen Catholic
papers that should have known better
that have printed the article in full with
out any attempt at correction.
Grifin's Journal says: ILL.,.
What. comical Irish-American history
Eugene Davis writes.
He beats John Pope Hodnett, G.. Will
fr:d Pearce or Father Tracey, as manu-
facturer. .
His history" Of the Hibernian Society
is all balderdash. 7s
That society did not send half a million
OF dollars to Washington's Army. II
didn't get Washington's thanks for SO
doing-nor was Washington banquetted
by the society IN the sumptuous club
house Of the society with the regalia Of
the order. nor was he told that the con-
stitution chad to be changed in order to
allow the President to be member as
meme but Irish Catholics could become
members
The constitution did not SO require.
It was not Catholic society nor was
Washington president when he dined
with the society.
1t is perfectly useless to combat all
such statements Writers will lie just
because our people like that kind Of his
tory.

A NEW VOLUME.

With this ISSUE the publishers OF the
Irish Standard began the twelfth year Of its
existence with every reason to be thank
full for the success it has attained, q sue
cess due to the well-wishes and substantial
aid Of the public coupled with the efforts
Of the publishers themselves.
The paper was begun on Nov. z, 1885, at
which tine it was comparatively small in
size. With desire, however, to benefit its
readers as much as possible, It was in
creased in every way from time to time,
not only In SIZE, but in merit as weekly
visitor to the thousands Of homes in which
It finds it's way. Efforts in the direction
of accomplishing what it should will not
he relaxed, and ito rapidly increasing sub
scription list and other manifestations Of
encouragement on; the part OF the public
are evidences In support Of the most Law
ish hopes for what lis in store for the future.
Cordial words Of satisfaction on the part OF
readers have reached the publishers from
all sections of the Northwest, and this
pleasing circumstance VIII add a stimulus
to Their exertlons to continue to keep the
paper fully abreast of the times.
1t is q lamentable fact that so many pa
pers devoted wholly or largely to Catholic
news and in advocacy of Catholic principles
are wanting in the support they highly de-
serve, and while the cause for this is
known to all those engaged in the news
paper business, vet ii this respect the Irish
Standard has but little to complain OF.
The paper covers an immense field, en-
bracing the whole Of the Northwest, and
this field is growing rapidly. Ere another
year passes away and volume thirteen has
begun there is every reason to believe that
even q more encouraging prospect will
have developed. .... .53s

And yet it must be admitted that New

mense lot OF very narrow men ais we'll
as a great many broad ones. It would,
however, be a mistake Ito confound the
exaggerated Worship Of everything Eng
sish that has characterized some of these
New England writer's with narrowness.
The late Mr.. James Russell Lowell was a
man Of broad mind, hut more English
than American III his sympathies. That
was, however, because be was the grand
son Of an ardent Tory of Revolutionary
days and grew up among surviving Tory
traditions. Now, during Revolutionary
times THE Irish the term Scotch
Irish" had not then been invented-were
to man almost on the side Of America
against England, and in what were Tory
neighbour during the Revolution in
New England and other cd settlements
dating from those days or beyond, the
hatred for "the Irish" has also survived,
along with the Tory tradition, now gen
orally manifested IN what is called An
glomania. Perhaps President Eliot has
inherited some Of this feeling, though his
name points to a Scotch, or perhaps Irish,
rather than English origin.
Considering the fact that all the SUI
perior people of this world today are of a
much mixed origin as to race, and that
we all like to believe ourselves superior, it
is somewhat startling to find the head of
what sets itself up as the leading educa-
tiona institution Of New England going
back merely MOTTO pride of race in all it's
pristine simplicity, but even into the
hatreds that arose among the Tories of
New England against the whole Irish ele-
ment in American history by adopting
the silly myth Of the Scotch Irisa," and
thus depriving the Irish of whatever
credit belongs to them for their share,
and thair very large share, in helping ito
make Us nation"
