When Michael Dayitt, the Irish pa

California with Instantly ha~toM> the
following story Of. Maxor-elect Garter
H. Harrison:
. ''When I was returning from Aus
trlia," he said, 'the crisis was on be-
tween the United States and England
over Venezuela and foreign monarchical
intrusion On the American continent. A
number of the passengers were Ameri-
cans, but their revolutionary ancestors,
if they had any, must. have been tories,
so devoid were they Of true national
sef-respect. The policy of Washington,
Jefferson and Monroe had one cham
pion. He was known as the voting man
from Chicago. Without bravado, in OK
cellent English and with manifest store
of historical and international knowl-
edge, he upheld the American position
so effectively that the spurious Ameri-
cans were gradually compelled to" range
themselves behind him. The. young
man from Chicago was Carter H. Har-
rison, today mayor of Chicago"

Harold Frederic, the London cor

Ex-senator Daniel W.. Voorhees,, of
Indiana, died in Washington last week
at the age of rs years. He was familiar
ly known as "the tail sycamore of the
Wabash" by reason of his large and
magnificently- -proportioned figure. He
had national. reputation as lawyer
before jury, and when a young man
he delivered an address in behalf of one
of the followers of John Brown at ,Har-
per's Ferry which attracted much .stten-
tion throughout the country, and has
since been translated into every Ian
guage of the civilized world. His last
public appearance in the United States
senate was in 1898, when he champion
ed the repeal Of the Sherman law, to
please Grover Cleveland. That action
of his helped to contract the volume
of money in circulation and did more
harm than good. * "...z ~, ,.y.>.

The libel suit brought by Hon. John
Lind, Democratic candidate last fall for
governor of Minnesota, against the st.
Paul Dispatch>f for defamation of charac-
ter, resulted in verdict of $500 for the
plaintiff. At the first trial the jury dis
agreed on the amount of damages,
which ranged from $500 to $4,000. Dur-,
ing the campaign the partisan Repqh-
lican organ published speech pur-
ported to-have been made by Mr.. Lind
in New Ulm,, in which intidelity and ag-
nosticism were enunciated. The object
of the slanderous publication was to in1.
jure Mr.. Lind in the estimation of the
orthodox Christians of the state. The
speech was manufactured purposely to
accomplish his defeat, and the paper,
when requested, refused to make any
retraction. We heartily tender our con-
gratulations,z to the: ex-Congressman
upon his complete vindication.

that his fit of Anglo-phObfa might sud-
denly return to him, and thus control
him from acting, he sent a petition to
the bishop of London, asking that the
logbook be given to the people of the
United States. It was an act of heroism
but Bayard seemed equal to the occa-
sion. The request was granted, and now
the log-book of the Mayfower will bo-
long to us for all time.
In this connection it should be men,
toned that the chancellor of the diocese,
one Thomas H. Tristan, @. C.-per-
haps descendant of Tristan Shandy-
wanted to know much about America
before the precious log book was deliy-
cred up. Among other things he ill
quired if New England was a part of
Massachusetts,. He was told that Now
England was not part of Massachu
setts, but that Massachusetts was part
of New England, don't ye know, and
that in Boston, it's capital, the dome of
the state house was the hub of the uni
verse. This seemed to surprise the Eng
lish chancellor muchly, and his mind
was thrown into a receptive mood for
more knowledge of d geographical char
acter. He wanted to know if Plymouth
was in Massachusetts, and being assured
that it was. he must have felt uneasy
until he had searched tho maps and
found that England had still another
Plymouth left, and that the Yankees haG
not stolen it when they took the other
one located over here.
This intellectual Tristan is sample
of the nabobs with whom Bayard has
been wining and dining, and who. no
doubt, did not consider it worth while
to study a country, geographically or
otherwise, SO cordially despised by it's
own representative.

Wayne MacVeagh, the Chicago states

bers, and the same is true of the diplo-
matte appointments. The gentlemen Sc
lected are, believe, in every instance
admirably fitted for the posts assigned
to them" We have no~desire TO find
fault with Mr.. MacVeagh, for using such
courteous language, but the fact of the
matter is that it is only the banks, COR
porations and the syndicates that are To-
be congratulated upon the members Sc
lected by Maj. Mckinley for his cabinet
Every man Of them is a multi-million-

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.

The result of the spring elections in
the West is very cheering to the Demo-
cracy, and correspondingly depressing
to the party of Mark Hanna, which has
been repudiated in an emphatic manner
at the polls. Carter H.. Harrison, for
mayor of Chicago, received more than
half the votes cast in that city. The
city of Detroit, Mich, elected a Demo-
crat for it's chief magistrate. So did
Cincinnati, Ohio, and strange to say.
President McKinley's own town, Canton,
elected Democrat by a triumphant ma
jority.
The Demecratic-Silver Republicans
swept the cities of Butte, Great Falls
and Anaconda, Mont. like cyclone,
crushing the life out of the dark lan-
tern organization which had been in
control for the past few years. The
newly-elected officers of the first named
town are Peter S. Harrington, mayor;
j. Fl. Mccarthy, city treasurer, and John
J. Farrell, police magistrate. The clerk
of Silver Bow county, in which Butte is
situated, an A. P. A. named johnson,
has been arrested on the charge of en-
bezzling $4,000 of the public funds and
is likely to be elected to the state peni-
tentiary.
Richard J. Fitzgerald, a former Min
neapolitan, was elected mayor of Great
Falls, and the city council will be com.
posed solidly of Democrats and Popu
lists elected on a fusion ticket. The
only Republicans, who were barely
elected, in Great Falls were the candi-
dates for. police magistrate and cley
treasurer.
Anaconda swallowed up the Apes and
their abettors without destroying its d.
gestive organs, and by the latest reports
we have seen it made -. ID. Twohy its
mayor by narrow majority.
The city of Waseca, Mimi, which
rolled up big majority for Mckinley
last fall, elected Hon. John Moonan fer
it's mayor. The same gentleman was
candidate for congress against Tawney
in 1894, and reduced the Republican ma
jority very materially. The Irish Stand
ard extends it's hearty congratulations
to Mr.. Moonan and its Montana friends
upon the glorious victory achieved.
