responsible If he continues going to a
church whose pulpit is filled by such a
donkey, and listen again to diatribes
against Roman Catholic citizens whose
shoes the disciple Of Wesley is not fit to
polish. 1t is remarkable that John
Wesley. the only decent Englishman
who ever founded a church, was stall
rated with bigotry against Catholics and
transmitted 1t undiluted to his clerical
brethren. Thank God, there will never
be a state church In the United States,
where every one is free to worship God
according to his own conscience. We
say hands off" to the Methodists during
Mckinley's administration, and suggest
that the Napoleon Of Canton muzzle
Johnston or go to another church In
Washington where less intolerance pre-
walls In the pulpit. A second exhibition
of bigotry from the pastor of the Metro
politan M. f. Church may ''Burchardlze"
the advance agent Of prosperity, If he
allows it to pass unrebuked. The Cath
olics Of this country are too numerous
and influential to be insulted with inn
punity by the pastor of any president,
no matter what church he attends. and
Mckinley had better make q note of it
before it is too late.

Tho celebrated Celtic scholar, DR..
Douglas Hyde, has the following to say
OF the A. 0. H. in an article published
by M. J. Murphy, of Bay City, Michigan:
"The gallant and ennob1ing action of
Americans of Irish birth, the Ancient
Order Of Hibernians, In taxing them
selves voluntarily last year to the sum
of $4,000 to found Celtic chair in the
Catholic University of Washington, will
bear higher and nobler fruit than per-
haps they dreamt of. Already within
the last month their example has been
followed by Mr.. Spence, who has most
generously contributed $4,000 more to
found chair for the same purpose in
the John Hopkins University at Balti-
more, and the action Of these universi-
ties can hardly fail to put to shame that
wealthy corporation, Trinity College,
Dublin, which with all its enormous
wealth contributes nothing to the sup
port or study Of the national language
of the country in which 1t is situated
and from which it draws its vast
wealth."

present. and to hf credit he rebuked
the judge by 81 Pud| |ng at the top of his
voice: We'll. (, MT. for one. pay
taxes honestly pp1 all own. 1 don't
believe In this business of cheating the
assessor" v ith smile that was
childlike and bland. Judge Koon said
he was glad to pee one honest taxpayer.
and he bowed 3himself from the room
to the relief of the audience.
We have watched the daily papers for
comments on the presentation Of the
street car easel before the charter COM
mission by this attorney, but the daily
papers are silent. So long as the Twin
City Rapid Transit company furnishes
free transportation to the conductors of
the daily newspapers 1t is safe to say
that no adverse criticism
OF Judge Rooms peculiar
ethics will appear in them. The
Irish Standard is under no obligation
to any grasping corporation IN this
city and has no hesitation in condemn
ing the utterances Of such men as
Judge Koon. He laughs at honesty and
thinks individuals are just like the soul
less corporation he appropriately rep
resents.

We give today on the first page the
pedigree and achievements of Galtee
More, the famous Irish horse of the CEN
tury. The same article gives an inter-
esting historical sketch of the Irish horse
which will be read with delight by such
subscribers as the venerable Patrick
Dowdle. of Dakota county, Minnesota
The following paragraph from the arti-
Gle is worth reproducing on the editorial
page: ''Froude relates that Shane
O'Neill, the great chieftain, diplomat
and fighter, presented 1000 stud. mares
to Queen Elizabeth. AS an evidence of
returning cordiality,' continues Froude,
present OF wine was sent to Shane
from Dublin. 1t was consumed at his
table, but the poison had been unskill-
fully prepared. 1t brought him and half
his household to the verge of death
Shane O'Neill sent no more blooded
horses to the Virgin Queen"
The reader will get an idea from this
story Of the English historian how
treacherous Good Queen Bess" was to
the Irish princes Of her time. Froude,
the anti-Jrish. lying historian, has no
word of censure for the English queen
who sent the beautiful Mary, Queen of
Scots, to the block. Poisoning of Irish
chieftains was pastime with the Eng
lish in the days of the Tudors

no effacement for this stigma Of slavery,
no effacement for the blot Of shame?
Will our white brethren not remember
that 1t was his hands that forged the
links Of the chain. and that riyeted
them around the neck of a people that
had roved for thousands of years in the
unrestrained liberty of the boundless
forests Of faraway Africa? Let us go
far enough back and 1t is more than prob
able that you will find the taint OF slav-
cry in your own lives and It's blot upon
your name. The proud Saxon became
the slave Of the Norman, and yet today
millions are proud to be called Anglo
Saxons." The bishop is right when he
says the proud Saxon" was enslaved
by the conquering Normans, who held
them in the supremest contempt. and
despite the fact millions today are proud
to be called 'Anglo-Saxons." AS we
frequently stated there is no "Anglo-
Saxon" race in existence.

Says FIR. Lambert in the New York
Freeman's Journal: The Protestant
Episcopal bishop of Albany fears that
if we Americans do not behave ourselves
we may provoke the English people be-
yond the point Of endurance, and then
Well, in that case, we will have to re-
peat the lesson Of 1912. It would have,
however, to be on larger SCALE But
the result would be the same. The
American people, by reason of their sit
uation and vast territory, have power
of endurance and continuance in war
which no power in Europe, except, per-
haps, Russia, has. We could live COM
fortably for years If England had the
power-which she has MOTTO shut us
out from the commerce of the world.
On the other hand, if England's ocean
commerce were seriously interrupted for
six months her people would be at the
point Of starvation and revolution. Her
greatest source Of wealth in time Of
peace is her weakest point in time of
war. None knows this better than her.
self, and hence her desire for an inter-
national court Of arbitration.

President Echols, of the A. P. A., de-
clares he will prevent the confirmation
of Attorney General McKenna as a JUS
tice Of the supreme court, because Nc
Kenna is a Catholic, and the Catholics
already have Justice White on the
bench. There ought to be better reasons
for opposing McKenna than that.
So says the Little Falls Herald, MINI.
OF course, there ought to be better rea-
sons for antagonizing McKenna, but The
fact that he is nominally a Catholic is
enough for John w. Echols, supreme
president of the defunct proscriptive Or
ganization which recently closed its
headquarters at Washington, D. c., af-
ter the Office furniture was sold under
the hammer to satisfy the payment Of
printed supplies furnished by publish
ing house. Echols is now the president
of a political corpse and his influence
is gone forever. He cannot prevent the
confirmation of any man for an Office
in the gift Of the president. We draw
the attention of our enterprising con-
temporary to our editorial on the pass
ing way of the associated aggregation
of asses of which Echols is the head.

apolis invite Catholic priest to lecture
before them on literary topic?

A London correspondent of New York
paper transmits the intelligence that
Lawrence Mccarthy, veteran Of Wat
erloo, died in the poorhouse at Nenagh,
county Of Tipperary. Ireland, at the
wonderful age of 116 years. He was
born in 1882, the year OF the establish
ment Of Grattan's parliament. He had
vivid recollection of the horrors Of
the Irish rebellion of 1898, being six
teen years old at the time He was
81 years old when he fought with We'll
lington at Waterloo, where he saw Ma
poleon defeated. He was severely
wounded at that famous battle and bore
honorable scars, and yet the govern
ment of England, which he served so
gallantly, allowed him to die a pauper
in the poorhouse. Any Irishman who
fights England's battle deserves the
same fate as Lawrence Mccarthy.

We are beginning to think that the
Irishmen who call Gladstone IA grand
old humbug," are not much astray.
After creating division in the Irish
ranks by his letter on Parnell, in which
he declared he would not cooperate
with him any longer, he resigned the
premiership and left home rule to Lord
Rosebery and his aristocratic follow
ers. Gladstone's words Of sympathy
are somewhat like crocodile tears.

A London Tory correspondent writes
as follows to Il British sheet published
In New York:
Sentences in the Hon. Edward Blake's
speech which, as cabled from Canada,
seem to suggest that he is going to stay
there, create very lively satisfaction in
Ireland. There has been no
more complete and comprehen-
sive failure in our time
than he proved to be in Irish politics.
Even the self-seeklng clique of rhe-
tortcians and frauds to whom he at
tachcd himself when the Irish party
broke up will secretly be glad to get rid
of this empty pomposity."
