We believe he is Il dissembler who is
acting double part. and that as the
beneficiary Of Mark Hanna he will carry
out the policy of the plutocracy whom
that gentleman represents.
We prefer the gold Democrats to the
gold Republicans by long odds The
former unequvocably favor the gold
standard during secula seculorum, while
the latter hypocritically declare for BIZ
metallism and are doing their utmost to
perpetuate ''the existing gold standard"

their mission and us the Minneapolis

thing was said by Lord Farrer Il few
days ago when he eXclaimru What
America needs is a restoration OF II
will not get while the ignis fatuus of
international btmetallism abstracts the
attention Of her rulers. The sooner we
can help to lay that phantom the better
for both countries"
The British nobcman is correct IN
what he says and every sensible Amer
lean realizes the fact. The Republicans
who advised President Mckinley to send
the embassy to Europe had no cxp"cta-
ton Of its success in England. The
English government and the English
flnancicrs will WELD all the influence
they possess to prevent any Internal
tional agreement on the money question
AT previous international conferences
the English representatives succeeded in
throwing wet blanket over the pro-
ceedings. and nothing practicable was
done towards the restoration of silver as
standard money. 1t is to England's
interest that silver shall remain pcrpet-
ually demGnetlzcd as Mr.. Gladstone
explained some years ago. Why then
does President Mckinley keep his three
ambassadors in England? Simply be-
cause he desires to impress the Ameri-
can people with the notion that the
party which nominated him at ST. Louis
was sincere in it's declaration when it
pledged itself ito promote international
bimetallism" while favoring 1.-The exist
ing gold Standard
The Republicans who always stood for
bimetallic currency supposed that the
plutocrats who managed the campaign
would do their utmost for silver, and
knowing that Mckinley himself had said
in the house of representatives on June
"a. 1890: II am for the largest use of
silver in the currency of the country"

The Minneapolis Journal says that
the advocacy Of the restoration of tho
double standard by William ]. Bryan
suggests either gross ignorance or dis
honest intention" on his part Six
million of intelligent American citizens
thought otherwise last fall, and eight
million will think so in 1900. The
Journal should use argument to make
converts for the single gold standard,
but the fact is it has no argument TO
convince honest seekers for light on the
money question. A story is told Of Tim
othy E. Byrnes when speaking for Nc
Kinley in the rural districts. Being
asked by friend why he made no at.
tempt at argument, Tim. with that pc
culiar seraphic smile on his handsome
countenance, bluntly replied: 1--WE have
no argument to make" So it is with
the Journal. 1t finds 1t easier to misrep-
resent Bryan than to enlighten the
ignorant.

Last Thursday evening, In this CITY.

Last Thursday evening, in this city,
Mgr. Nugent of Liverpool delivered an
interesting lecture on the waits and
stays of Liverpool to large audience
at St. Stephens church. The distin-
gutshed ecclesiastc has devoted the
best years OF his life to the bettcrment
Of humanity. and his efforts have been
attended with remarkable success. He
is an ardent advocate of total abstin-
ence and may be appropriately called
"The Father Mathew of England" He
established THE Boys Refuge" in the
English city to provide for the off
spring of drunken parents. and other
similar institutions sprung up as If by
magic as result OF his in6cfatigable
zeal and energy. Mgr. Nugent is an
Irish patriot in the highest acceptation
of the term. and deserves the esteem
and love of his countrymen at home
and abroad for the work he has ac-
Complished.

The reyerend editor of the Western
Watohman says that when a young girl
runs away with young man to get
married she must get married on the
very day Of the elopement to keep her
name unsullied. Therefore priest who
has faculties should unhesitatingly per-
form the marriage ceremony, if there is
no impeachment, to save the girl from che
inevitable disgrace. A young couple, he
says, came to himself late one evening
when he was staying in a country town,
and asked to be married. 1t was a
runaway match. The Council Of Trent
was in force in the town, but not in

liam Dillon, brother of the Irish par
liamentary leader: Mr.. Michael Da-
witt writes to an Irish paper. saying
that the Duke and Duchess of York
have made the mistake of supposing
that hospitality in Ireland necessarily
means loyalty. AS we have before
pointed out, the masses of the Irish
people have simply held aloof, and
treated the royal visitors with indiffer-
ence. leaving the loyal minority to do
the shouting. When the enemies of
Irish nationality misrepresent this atti-
tude and try to make political capital
out Of it, it is not easy to say what
the Irish people ought to do. Perhaps
a few vigorous Kisses, such as Governor
Tanner got in this city on Logan day,
might not have been entirely out Of
