STILL FOR WAR.

When Archbishop Ireland in a public adj
dress stated in effect that war was not the
worst calamity that could befall mankind
he drew the attention of the whole civilized
world to what he had said-some agreeing
with him, some opposing him, while others
held up their hands in holy horror, at the
thought. Harper's Weekly sought to prove
that it was the pugnaclous quality of the
Irish race that was exhibiting itself in the
remarks of his grace and INDUCED in other
statements, wise and otherwise, in drawing
attention to the sentiment. But among
thinking men the archbishop does not stand
alone in his marital inclination. At din
ner in London recently Henry Watterson
said: "There are vet greater evils that may
overwhelm mankind than war, the oblitera-
ton of which from human experience would
make the emasculation of the human species
mostly question of time"
All of which would go to show that the
world is not yet ready to turn the imple-
ments of warfare into plowshares and prun-
ing hooks, and that West Point and Annap-
oils will continue popular for great many
years to come.

made reputation by their pens. Why
she never married is not generally
known, and yet her nature appeared
more of the domestic kind than any
other. IN her later years she wore a
youthful look, her face being an index
OF the youthful nature OF her disposi.

death, as; will her friends everywhere in

IA, IA, CONGRESS.

Congress talks Of adjourning some time
next week. It talks of doing so, mind you,
and all it has been doing during the pres
ent session is talk. But why should the
members disband now? It will not be long
before they will be. obliged to be in Wash
ington again, SO they might just as well
stay where they. are. They can find some
thing to do. Some people are kept quite
busy doing very little. Some are kept busy
doing nothing. That has been the case with
the present congress. Let them keep pot
ter:ng away There are people who ex-
tract fun from the reading Of congressional
antics. The members seem to have fun
with each other, and that they would not
have should they disperse. And besides
the constituents Of each member do not
wish to be bored to death by recital Of
what their representatives have done, as
will be told by themselves. It is an addi-
tional expense to keep continuous session
in Washington, but hang the expense.
We're rich nation. We like to be taxed.
Ask Mckinley Il we don't. But II the SEES
sion must be closed let the two houses get
together and sing the doxo,ogy. The coun-
try will continue: to intone the M,serere. IS

POflEROY DEAD.

Mark M. Pomeroy, better known as
Brick Pomeroy, is dead. His life had
been a busy one and his brain was al
ways filled with gigantic schemes of one
kind or another. He made couple OF
fortunes and lost them. He could tell
to mathematical precision how to &C
quire fortune, but he never seemed to
have any practical theories how to main
tain it.
Among his various schemes was the
idea Of tunnelling the Rocky Mountains
so that direct thoroughfare could be
secured for transportation instead of
compelling trains to creep up mountain
sides and down into yawning canons or
to wind their way around mountain
peaks. It was expected that the silver
and lead or whatever other minerals
pay for the enterprise if they. did Not in
addition confer a fabulous fortune upon
the protector. In preparation for his gil
gantic scheme he built a palatial house
at the foot of the Rockies and the house
stands there still, untenanted, as mon
ument to the dreamer. The scheme could
have been carried through successfully,
no doubt, if Pomeroy had had the
money-enough of it-but lacking in
that not all the enthusiasm of his nature
and the golden or silvery prospects that
were pointed out could induce his
friends or capitalists generally to put
their money into the tunnel, so it Ian
guished and finally persisted for the
want of fostering hand. There was
millions in it.
AS long as Brick remained at La
Crosse and published the Democrat there
he made money and reputation as we'll,
but when he went to New York the peo-
pie there appear to have used him as
they would an orange-suck it dry and
throw the rind aWay

RUNNING MAD.

"After Garfeld's election, when It was
found that he proposed to be president, and
defied the New York bank ring, they made
short work of him. have
always believed that they murdered Lin
coin; for they knew what to expect of him
when the war was over" The foregoing
precious remarks are taken from a speech
of "the Judge" in paper-covered work
entitled Statesmen Three" by "Archie c.
Fisk, and designed to expose "plutocratic
usurpat:on" of many years standing, says
the Boston Pilot. There may be people
who will read and believe such stuff; for
there are those who credit similar mon
strous fabrications charging the two TRACE
dies on ttthe Jesuits.' The bank ring, ac-
cording to the same verac!ous authority,
threatened the life Of Grant until he COM
piled with their wishes, counted out Blaine
in 1884 because he would not obey them,
and rules in Washington today by terror
ism and corruption. 1t does not speak
highly for our intelligence as nation when
such utterly baseless aspersions against
banker or Jesuit can mislead even a mi
mute fraction of the community. AS for
the infamous wickedness Of those who put
forth such falsenoods, the law may not
reach them, but Gods justice will not over
look them.

THE ARBITRATION MATTER.

The Colorado Catholic says:
Without having any assurance to that
effect, we feel morally certain that Arch
bishop Ireland never uttered the senti-
ment against arbitration which has been
attributed to him. The false report, for
80 we take it to be, of his remarks has
been telegraphed all over the world.
Sir Edwin Arnold made reference to It
in his report for Moscow Of the corona
ton of the car.
The next thing we are likely to hear
is that Archbishop Ireland has taken q
stand in opposition to the Pope on the
question Of arbitration. It's all rubbish.
The great prelate Of s. Paul never took
stand against arbitration. What he
most likely said was something specula-
tive regarding the matter, that and moth
ing more.
The editor Of the Colorado contempt
rary will find an explanation Of the
archbishop's utterances ID this issue OF
the Irish Standard. His grace does not
beltttle arbitration but thinks there are
worse things than war and that there
are cases where war y The only remedy
possible. 55

KATE FIELD.


Kate Field Is dead. She passed away in
her 56th year in Honolulu in the Ha-
waiian islands, whittier she had gone on
behalf Of the Chicago, Times-Herald.
The immediate cause Of her death was
pneumonia.
No woman in the country was perhaps
better known than Kate Field, and yet
she was not one who was ever on the
alert to push herself to the front. She
was Of gentle nature and a rather re-
tirlng disposition It was through the
force Of her genius that she was kept
so prominently iii the public eye. The
daughter Of an time ST Louis actor,
she inherited some, d, the peculiarities
OF the profession which were manifest
il her lectures. She was talented,
bright, comprehensive in her views, but
ii no sense a woman's rights woman.
The greater portion Of her life was given
up to newspaper work, and kindred oc-
scupatipns. Her matte was always &C

IRELAND's TAXES.

Up to the year 1798,-the beginning of
that calamitous period in which Pitt and
his associate English consp:rators against
Irish nationality consummated their scheme
for the adestruction of Ireland's National
legislature taxation of 1feand never
EXCEEDED two millions sterling oslo, 600, 000)
per annum. It has now reached the enor-
nous figure Of over twelve million pounds,
$50, OOO, 000,-a sum larger than the fed
eral government Of the United States need
ed to raise for the maintenance of the army,
navy, judicial and administrative depart
ments of the American national govern
ment, up to the outbreak of the Civil War,
in 1861.
In Ireland, during the last fifty years,
the pou-tax levied by the English govern
ment representatives is, the Irish
rates and taxes paid, per head of the pop
ulation, has risen from lbs. to 49s,-being
an increase of 32s. per head. In the same
time the population has fallen to one-half,
and pauper:sm has doubled.
On comparing the figures Of Irish taxa
ton, during this century, with those Of
England. We find that, in the first sixteen
years. OF the, Nineteenth century imperial
taxation was, in England, "a l3s. I'D. per
head Of the population, as against las. I'D.
in ireland; but, by the present end of the
century, imperial taxation in England has
fallen to e As. 10d. per head, while the
amount paid in Ireland has risen to FL s..
1Od. Thus, in England, imperial taxation
has been reduced one-half, while in Ireland
it has been doubled. Aud Ireland, mean
while has been made poorer, and less able
to bear the additional burden, by the direct
operation of English management Of her af-
fairs. Another argument for Irish Home
Rule.
