Archbishop ireland Talks

NEW YORK, April 24.-Archbishop
Ireland of ST. Pal, who has been in
Washington attending the conservation
of the new bishop of Sioux Falls, DIR.
O'Gorman. was at the Fifth-avenue
hotel tonight In an interview he said
that his church duties did not inter-
fere with his political opinion as an in
dividual American citizen. Being asked
to state his preferences in regard to q
presidential candidate, the archbishop
said:
''As the summer advances shall be
better prepared to answer the question.
The a. p. AS? Well, l have heard q
great deal about them. but have seen
very little of them. The name of the
A. p AS is not legion. They are not
numerous in America, and where they
are found they are usually imported
Americans. They croak a good deal, to
make believe they are numerous. The
only peril | foresee is that politicians
and leaders of political parties show
cowardice, believing the A. P. AIS to
be lying around as thick as autumnal
leaves, and may be frightened into
speaking and voting so as to curry
favor with them"

NEGOTIATION PROCEEDING
For the Settlement Of Disputes Over
Venezuela's Boundary
But II Is Several Weeks Since Anything Ha-
Been Said or Done-1he Arbitra.
tion Scheme

LONDON, April 24.-The New York
correspondent of the Times criticizes
the statement made in parliament by
the parliamentary secretary of the for
eign office, Mr., Curzon, that some ne
gotiations with the United States with
regard to Venezuela are still proceed
ing. mo doubt it is in accordance
with diplomatic usage" the Times cor
respondent says, Ito speak of negotia-
tions as proceeding whe they have not
actually bee broken off f1ally by one
party or the other. To say that ego
iiations about the Venezuela question
are still proceeding is to use a phrase
which may be described as diplomatic,
or at the option of the reader, as Pick
Wickian."
1t is now some weeks since there have
been any negotiations on the subject.
This government was reluctant to ac-
cept Lord Salisbury's rejection of its
last proposal as final. 1t entered glad
ly upon the discussion of his proposal
for general arbitration, impracticable
as the scheme he suggested was deemed.
But having received and undertaken to
consider the scheme on it's merits, 1t
then puts the question whether nothing
more was to be said about Venezuela
and it's owon proposal, and whether no
counter proposal or suggestion was to
be expected. The answer was no. but
Lord Salisbury hoped that progress
might be made with the general arbitra-
ton scheme.
1T was pointed out in reply that from
this general arbitration scheme Venez-
uela was excluded. But this had no
effect
Editorially the Times says:
The American reply to Lord Sails

SAN FRANCISCO, April A-Heavy
rains were general throughout the
northern half of this state and in Ore
gon and Nevada yesterday. According
to the prediction of the forecast officials
here the storm will spread southwark
ana embrace the whole of the state
continuing for thirty hours. 1t has not
yet reached as far south as Los Angeles
but it will probably get there before
morning. Before this storm subsidies
the wind will attain a velocity here of
perhaps twenty-five to forty-five miles
an hour. but it is probably the last
storm of the season. There is no reason
now to apprehend any further danger
from frost.
RAIN AT STOCKTON
STOCKTON, April 24.-The rainfall
mere has been very heavy for the past
twenty-four hours, S9-1OO of an inch
having fallen in that time. The reports
from the foothills show that a very
heavy storm has prevailed in the noun
tains for several days and the streams
are running over their banks. The
Mokelume and Calaveras rivers are re-
ported high tonight, and the small
streams coming out of the mountains
are rushing torrents. No trouble is eX-

will be considerable on the plain lands
The storm has been fine thing for

FRESNO, April 24-Up to o'clock
this afternoon 1.60 inches of rain had
fallen in Fresno during the preceding
twelve hours, and showers are still fall
ing. The rain has come little late for
early sown grain, but it will be of i'm
mense benefit to crops. 1t will make
practically certain an average yield of
wheat and plenty of hay. something
that has hardly been hoped for during
the past month. The abundance of
moisture will also be beneficial in caus-
ing a rapid growth of new shoots on the
vineyards that were recently stripped

EXPOSING A SWINDLE

Anynewspaper which has been obtain
ing money from advertisers upon the
pretence of having circulation which it
has not is destined to come to grief soon
er or later. Merchants are becoming
too shrewd and too we'll posted to be
duped into paying for an unknown
quantity and very small quantity at
that. They naturally conclude that a
publisher who claims to have a circula
ton of 5000 copies but fatty refuses to
make statement under oath, showing
the actual condition of his subscrip
ton list in detail for year or more. Is
tampering with the truth, and that the
circulation Of the paper in question is
probably nearer 5000 than 5000.
If the statements made by bogus news
paper directories, Rowell's, for instance,
and the figures quoted by prevarcating
representatives of such sheets Of the
sere and yellow are true, why is it that
their publishers decline to come out of
the woods with proof that is proof posi-
tive-a sworn statement-and at once
double the quantity and rates of their
weak and withering advertising patron
age?

GRATIFYING RESULTS

of the Los Angeles county Democracy
afford abundant reason for felicitation
on the part Of that element of the party,

Democratic politics. The convention
was a free gathering, animated by the
spirit of Democratic independence and
responsive only to the will of it's con-
stituency. In his election as chairman
of the body George S. Patton received
a vindication Of his course when a can
didate for congress in this district two
years since, and an emphatic rebuke was
administered those alleged Democrats
who by their treachery contributed to
his defeat on that occasion. Against

THE ADJOURNED SESSION

Congress will be missed. Not missed
because OF the good it was doing. but
just as anything of remarkable in
capacity and monumental absurdity
would be missed Few if any congresses
in the history of the United States can
be said to have excelled the one just ad-
journed in paucity of achievement.
vapid, senseless. and confidence-de-
stroying discussions and legislative
plays. And few congresses have en-
joyed better opportunities for the ac-
complishment Of beneficial work.
With the financial system Of the coun-
try in an unstable, unsatisfactory con-
dition, and president ready and eager
to welcome and approve a substantial
reformation, the subject of remedial
legislation along this most important
line was absolutely ignored. With the
need for additional revenue-in conse
quence of the setting aside of the in
come-tax law by the supreme court
staring the body in the face, nothing but
strictly partisan protective measure
was offered in the way of relief to the
treasury.
Aside from the ordinary appropria-
ton bills and the bill providing for addi
tional naval vessels, the session was alb
solutely barren of enactments that can
be justly termed of national import
ance. And in the appropriation meas
ures the spirit of extravaganza and
waste prevailed to an extent that called
for two emphatic presidential vetos and
doubtless justified others. The aggre-
gate of the appropriations for the ses-
sion indicate that when its course Is
run the present congress will have seen
and gone something better the record
for expenditures of the billion dollar
body, in which Tom Reed won the un-
enviable title of "czar." From start to
finish there was little else than the waste
of the peoples time and the peoples
money, and the noisy consideration of
measures and resolutions which either
menaced the public credit or the public
peace. And the worst of it is that the
same crowd are to come again.

HUNTING A PLANK

That the Republican party Is not one
possessed of fundamental principles, not
an organization guided in it's course
by body of political doctrine, proba-
bly, needs no showing at this day. but If
it did, the many and diverse views in
the party regarding the character of
the financial plank to be incorporated
in the platform which will be adopted
by the st. Louis convention would suf
flee. The design seems not to be to draft
a plank that will be in harmony with
any principle recognized as part of the
party's faith, but to devise one that
will get the most votes. Whether it be
in itself right or wrong, whether the
ideas therein expressed would if put in
to effect, produce prosperity or disas-
ter seems wholly immaterial. The party
is not trying to be right. but to get votes.
In the mad hunt for ballots to seat some
individual in the presidential chair,
principle is to be sacrificed, consistency
thrust aside and the vocabulary eX-
hausted for the language of jugglery
and deception. The very reasons for a
political party's existence are to be ig-
nored.
Political parties in a republic are not
intended for the mere purpose of seating
Tom. Dick or Harry in office, giving
some man job Of honor or profit but to
represent and espouse ideas and poll
cies of public interest; the election of
men to office is an incident, not an OBJ
ject, of a party'S existence. The men
elected constitute but instrumentalities
through which the will of the party is
registered. Therefore it is all import
ant if the mission of a political organi-
cation would be subserved that it's de-
clarations of policy be bold, clear and
unmistakable, and reflect the honest
sentiments of the masses of the party
and not the appetite of an individual
for public preferment.
