Near Carlsbad the Baron kept half a

mour, with an American friend, went
out to visit the stable. A custodian to
whom they applied granted permission
"Can you give US some oDe to show

ton and maintenance Of q CATHOLIC
chapel upon government land, by priv
ate subscription, is In violation Of the
law and the constitution, the erection
and maintenance of any religious house
of worship at public expense must be.
q fortiori, violative of the law and the
constitution. But If these already per-
manent institutions receive the sane
ton of public sentiment, then Catholic
chapels should be supplied at every mil
itary station where the Catholics con-
stitute an appreciable part or portion Of
the population. What is just for Pro-
testants must be just for Catholics. A
Catholic officer or cadet at West Point
who may be called upon in future to Of
fer up his life for his country is as much
entitled to have a fair opportunity to
worship God according to the dictates
and impulses of his conscience as a
Protestant cadet. He cannot do this
in Protestant chapel. The Protestant
cannot do it in Catholic chapel. Both
should have separate chapels, and if
one is to be supported by the govern
ment the other should be. If the one
is to be excluded both should be ex
Guided.

Next week we shall give copious ex-
tracts from the great grafton on Daniel
O'Connell delivered on the anniversary
of his death in Rome by Archbishop
Keane, formerly rector of the Catholic
University of America at Washington,
d. c. The address will rank with the
great efforts of Father Ventura of Italy,
Father Lacordaire, of Paris; Father
Burke, of Ireland; Archbishop Hennes-
sy, of Dubuque; William H. Seward, of
New York, and Wendell Phillips, of Bos-
ton. The eloquent address of Arch
bishop Hennessy in 1875 is not so we'll
known to our readers as the others.
1t was delivered from the bluff over
looking the city of Dubuque to an i'm
mense open air audience, and three
years afterwards when Wendell Phillips
lectured in that city on O'Connell he
pronounced the Grafton the most elo-
quent that ever proceeded from the lips
of man, and apologized for following
his grace on the same subject.

Secretary Gage in swinging around
the circle, telling the people to have
courage, began his address, at one place
thus: Il did not come to- make a
speech" Rienzi, in his famous address
to the Romans, started out by saying:
Il come not here to talk; you know too
we'll the story of our thraldom; we are
slaves" Gage could have repeated the
same words without any exaggeration.
The American people today in this west
ern republic are the victims of tyrants
and oppressors who enslave them in
dustrially, and Gage is in with them.
II am optimistic" he says. Both bodies
of congress will soon put through an
adequate tariff bill, and the administra-
ton will put the currency of the country
on sound, enduring, and solid basis"
Then he smiled and departed, and
Winked the other eye.

On Memorial Sunday large number
of the personal and political friends OF
the late Mr.. Patrick Mcguire, founder
of our esteemed contemporary, the Bos-
ton Republic, paid we'll merited trib-
ute to the deceased by assembling in
Mount Calvary cemetery and decorating
the family lot In which the remains Of
the dead journalist quietly repose. Hon.
Edward J. Donovan delivered touching
address, recalling the noble qualities OF
mind and heart which characterized Mr..
Mcguire. Some of Boston's most dis
tinguished citizens attended the memo
rial services. If the deceased had done
nothing else in life than to have founded
the Republic he would deserve to be low
ingly remembered, not only in Boston,
but throughout the entire country.

Andrew Lang has translated Pope
Leo's Latin poem on diet, and the En-
glish version was wired by special cable
to the New York World. In pref
atory note, Mr.. Lang says: "The Pope's
poem in praise of frugality is on the
model of the epistles OF Horace. From
the reference to coffee he seems to have
modern manners in mind, but the ban
uuet of greed reflects the intemperance
of ancient Rome" The World says that
its readers will be the first to receive
by cable an English translation OF this
UNIQUE curiosity of literature-a poeti-
cal work by the reigning head OF the
Catholic church.

A rural weekly, referring to the Lon
don missionary, recently in Minneapolis,
has this to say: Bro. Varley's SUCCESS
ton upon landing upon American shores
was in effect that Americans are degen-
Grating so fast that If it were not for the
new blood infused into the body polite
by the immigration from Europe, and
especially from Hold Hengland. we
should all go to the demnition bowwows
within generation. It is very consol-
ing to have these "bloody Hfnglish
preachers" come over and teach us how
to behave ourselves.

Says Reynolds Weekly, published in
London: People in this country who
write about Ireland generally succeed
in making fools Of themselves owing
to their not understanding the people
or circumstances. Thus, there is a pop
ular belief that more alcohol Is con-
sumed in Ireland than in England or
Scotland. On the contrary, the Irish
man spends least, the Scotsman most.
and England is second, the rate being
per head: Scotland, 21s.; England, 1Ss.
3d.: Ireland, 14s lid. II we take wine
and spirits alone, Scotland consumes
18s. 1Od. per head against Ireland's lis.
Cd. Yet, no doubt, we shall still hear
Ireland written about as a most drunken
country.

THE WOLVES AND THE LAMBS.

An esteemed friend of the Irish Stand
ard finds fault with a paragraph which
appeared in last weeks issue and de-
clares that it's sentiments are narrow.
illiberal and intolerant. We deny the
charge and place before our readers the
portion of the editorial for which we
are censured. It is as follows:
"The loss to Catholicity in the past
must have been enormous, from the
activity displayed by Protestant prose-
lytizing societies, if we can Judge from
the large number of Protestants bearing
Irish Catholic names that we meet with
in the West. The waits and strays of
the streets were gobbled up by those
wolves and reared in the Protestant
creeds. The bitterest enemies of Cath
olicity in this country today are men
and women of Catholic ancestry; and
some of the brightest preachers in Prot
estant pulpits who utter TRADES against
the Catholic church are descended from
ancestors who made every sacrifice in
the days of religious persecution in Ire
land to retain the faith taught them by
st. Patrick"
To show that we are amply justified
in thus giving expression to our SEN
timents, we will cite few passages for
all whom it may concern from "The
Irish in America" by John Francis Ma
guire, M. P. The book was published
thirty years ago; and as we were re-
ferring to the past when writing the
paragraph in question, it is an excellent
authority for our purpose.

olic," says Mr.. Mcguire, ''could pc in

war which, under the mask Of beneyo-
lence and philanthropy. was waged

victims Of neglect But. until lately,

Rev. DIR. Riley, the successor of Rev.
Wayland Hoyt, at the First Baptist
church of this city, says he is pro-
"But I do not mean by that" he says,
'fthat am opposed to people of other
climes coming to this country if they
become properly Americanized."
There is a good deal in that word
properly" Would the reverend gen.
tleman inform us whether the present
laws of naturalization in this state are
to his liking? None are admitted to cit
izenship without fulfilling all the legal
requirements. A foreigner must first
reside five years in Minnesota after he
has declared his intention to become an
American citizen and to renounce all al
legiance to every foreign prince, poten-
tate and sovereignty whatsoever, but es-
pecially to the monarch to whom he was
born subject, before he is allowed to
exercise the right of franchise at the

law of the state, have perfect right to

license to carry On the business quite
an income to the almost depleted city
exchequer.
We are happy to say that very. few
Irish names appea ar emblazoned on sa-
loon signs in this city, and the. few
there are belong principally to native
born citizens. They are no more for
eigners than is Rev. Riley himself. OF
course, there are more persons with for
eign names in the saloon business in
Minneapolis than with Puritan-Ameri-
can names, If that is what Rev. Riley
meant to say, and why shouldn't
there be? Does he not, know that
men of Anglo-saxon origin are
in the great minority here as
we'll as in other places, and that they
will always continue to be so? They
are, nevertheless, as thoroughly Ameri-
can as if their forefathers landed on
Plymouth Rock.
1t is noticeable fact that Protestant
ministers bearing such Milesian and
un-Puritan names as Riley can
rarely talk on temperance or
anything else without everlast-
ingly dragging in "Amerlcanism and
foreignism." DR.. Riley says he is pro-
hibitionist, because he is an American
There are plenty of prohibitionists in
this city who are not to the manner
born" They figure prominently among
all the foreigners" or those possessing
names other than Yankee ones.
We have Catholic priest here of an
ancient Milesian name, as Milesian as
Riley, who was one of the presidential
electors on the Prohibition ticket four
years ago. Rev. Riley has never done
better work in the cause of temperance
than he; and yet he would not say that
he is prohibitionist because he is an
American; though he is as loyal and
true an American as there is in the
state, Notwithstanding the fact that he
was born on the emerald sod of Ireland,
and his ancestors before him for three
thousand years. In fact, his progenitors
and Rev. Rileys- were contemporaries
in the Emerald Isle.
Go on, Mr.. Riley, with your prohibit
tion work. We wish you success in the
cause of temperance, not as prohibit
zionist, though, but as total abstainer:
We would be for prohibition if we be-
lieved it could ever be got by legislation,
and when got that it could be enforced.
Rut prohibition would not prohibit in
Minnesota any more than in North Da-
kota and other states. Go on with your
work, Mr.. Riley; hpt if you wish to sue
coed, talk lessoahout native and foreign
born citizens, cforh one is as properly

BILE Brobdignagian as compared polite
ally with Thomas Bracket Reed, the
great white filibusterer at Washington,
or Nicholas H., the despotic car at st.
Petersburgh. His name is David Martin
Clough, product of the state of Maine,
where the autocratic speaker of the
house of representatives is high muck
a-muck.
Gov. Clough is comparatively litter
ate, and is politician evolved by the
machine. He has no more right to sit
in the governors chair than had Ruth
erford B. Hayes to sit in the presidents
chair to which Samuel j. Tilden was
elected by the people in 1876. Every
honest man in Minnesota knows and
feels that Clough's election was fraud
ulent and that legally John Lind was
elected governor of this state in 1896.
The other day Gov. Clough refused
the grand jury of Hennepin county per-
mission to examine the reports submit
ted to him by the state bank examiner,
and pigeon-holed by his excellency in
his Office at the capitol. He says his
official position and privilege exempts
him from the duty of responding to a
subpoena, being ignorant of the fact
that a great Judge of the United States
supreme bench, Chief Justice Marshall.
decided in the Aaron Burr case chat
the president of the United States may
be subpoenaed and examined as a wit
ness, and required to produce any paper
in his possession, is not controverted."
But what cares Dave Clough for the de-
cision of the eminent jurist! He snaps
his fingers at the grand jury and prac-
tically tell them, II am the state" He
is under the erroneous impression that
reports are made to him according to
law for his own sole use and informa-
tion,, and that the grand jury Is i'm
pertinent in trying to pry into them
to get at the bank thieves who got away
with the state, county, city and individ-
ual deposits made in their rotten insti-
tutions, which were periodically exam
ined by the official appointed for that
purpose and who reported their finan-
cial condition to Gov. Clough. That
autocrat allowed the banks to continue
their plundering operations, and now he
wants to shield the criminals who by
this time ought to be occupying cells
in the Saltwater penitentiary.
It will be an indelible stain on the
escutcheon OF this great state If it's ig-
noramus Of governor, who swore to do
his duty in that high capacity, is per.
mitted to defy the grand jury, the court,
and public opinion with impunity. Judge
Smith, OF the district court has pro-
posed plan, In which the attorney gen
eral acquiesces, to the effect that an at
tachment be issued for the governor:
that he beplaced in nominal arrest; and
that the case be brought direct to the
supreme court on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. We shall inform our distant
readers next week of the outcome of this
important case. It will have been deter
mined by that time whether Clough's
is the servant of the people or their
master.
