Mckinley AS 4 IUGGLER.


Foraker has won his first fight with
President Mckinley, says the Boston
Republic. He has prevented the ap.:
pointment Of Bellamy Storer to the Of
flee of assistant secretary of state. Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Hanna had commit
ted themselves to this appointment. Mr..
Storer was one of the syndicate of which
Hanna was the head that paid Mr.. Nc
Kinley's debt of $11S,000. His reward
was to be the first assistant secretary
ship of the state with the right of sue
eession should old age force Sherman
to retire. But Foraker objected. Mr..
Storer is his personal and political enc
my, and the fiery senator plainly told
the president that he would invoke SEN
atorial courtesy to defeat Storer's con-
tirmation. At first there was DISPOSE
ton at the White House to test the
power of Foraker, but that was aban.
doned. Hanna and Mckinley came down
millionaire was hurried off to Belgium
In making his retreat the president
took good care that the place in this
state department should go to an Ohio
man. So Judge Day, of Canton, was
selected. The Judge is a neighbor of
the president in Canton. He had been
slated to go to Cuba as paramount
commissions" to inquire into the con-
dition Of affairs there and to formulate
plan of action for the administration.
The sudden change in the situation
practically places the Canton judge in
the cabinet, as it is quite generally
understood that Secretary Sherman can
not, on account of his advanced age,
manage the foreign affairs OF the nation.
The country is now in position to
understand the deep political gang
which Mr.. Mckinley has been playing
since his election. He began by remov-
ing Mr.. Sherman from the senate to
make place for his manager and
financial hacker, Mr.. Hanna. He next
compelled Foraker and Governor Bush
nell to appoint Hanna to the vacant
senatorial seat. His purpose was to
further strengthen his hold on Ohio
politics by making Bellamy Storer,
another financial hacker, Sherman's as
sistant, and ultimately his successor,
Fooled in this, he picks out his towns
man and neighbor for the place, and
then contemplates with satisfaction tho
condition of political harmony which
pervades Ohio. Poor Sherman has been
ruthlessly sacrificed to further the sell
fish schemes of Mckinley and Hanna.
Els physical condition is not equal ia
the terrible strain of the state depart
ment. The senate door is closed to him
forever, and if he should be forced to
retire from the exacting duties Of the
premiership his political career will be
brought to an end. He might have
gone on for years in the more congenial
atmosphere Of the senate, but the plot
ters selfishly eIbowed him out Of that
place for their own personal benefit.
The spectacle is a sad one to contem-
plate.

HENEEP1N COUNTY 0FFIclALIsm.

The readers of the Irish Standard
will remember that a committee of the
state legislature recently Investigated
the workings Of The public examiners
office, as so many bank failures had oc-
CURED and the presen: incumbent had
allowed the banking institutions to run
notwithstanding their shally condition.
1t appears, however. that the public ex-
aminer discharged his duties to the best
of his ability and made his reports to
the governor us required by law. The
governor pigeon-holed the reports and
lot the public be fleecel by the banks.
The criticism of the investigating COM
mittee seems to have spurred the public
examiner to greater activity and vigil
ance in the performance of his onerous
duties and the report just published by
him of the condition of affairs in the Of
fees of the sheriff and commissioners
Of this county deserves commentator.
According to his report Hennepin eoun-
ty taxpayers have been financially
fleeced for years by illegal charges on
the part of the sheriff, and the county
commissioners appear to have tram
sacted business in a very irregular and
loose manner. This method of handling
the affairs of the county by public Off
Gals has prevailed for many years, and
ex-Sheriff Holmberg, who is referred to
in the report, says he simply followed
the example of his predecessors, which
appears to be true.
The public examiner shows that
there had been 81 day steal in one
case, that 81 was charged for every pris-
oner committed to the worAhouse; that
double charges had been made in COM
hitting persons to the state schools at
Red Wing, Faribault and Owatonna, and
that the former sheriff had been in the
habit of charging railroad fare for pris-
oners arrested on warrant.
According to the report the county
commissioners allowed the payment of
illegal bills without being even accom-
panied by vouchers, an act which If
true is highly reprehensible
The examiner refers to other expen-
ditures in the following severe lam
guage:
"The bills for stationery and printing
for the various departments and Offices
of the county are simply enormous, and
in the matters referred to there does not
seem to be a restraining hand anywhere;
it simply seems to be a free-for-al1. The
result is that in February prior to the
March settlement the revenue fund Of
the county was overdrawn 500 900, and
after the settlement over $4,000. I had
a talk with the auditor about the fnan-
cial situation of the county, and said to
him that he must insist that the expen-
ditures of the county be kept within the
limit of the tax levy, which was fixed
by the tax commission, a. provided hy

THE METHODIST MINISTERS.


Catholic Truth society in 1890 entered
the controversial arena against thS
Methodist pastors of this city, the fol-
lowers of John Wesley have strictly at"
tended to their own business on thu
principle that discretion is the better
part of valor. The rampant parsona
of seven years ago have left the cSy fol
parts unknown in search of ''fresh.
fields and pastures new" They have
scarcely left trace behind them and
their names are almost forgotten. A;
new set of men occupy the pulpits they
once filed and it must be said to their
credit that they are a higher type of
men both in scholarship and Christian
charity. Until i lately they have let thu
Catholic CHURCH severely alone, and de-
voted their time, and talents to the
moral training Of their own aocks.
A change has lately come over some
of them, however, for we find that at
a meeting held here the other day, a
paper read by ;oRe William Mckinley
on 'The Rise of the Papacy' was re-
sponsible for an excited discussion dur
ing which, according to the published
report, "some3 of THE members took oc-
casion to score the Catholic church
severely" What they, said we do not
know and it does9not matter very much4
A more detailed report is given of an
address delivered on the evening of tho
same day by Rev. Matt. S. Hughes,
pastor of Wesley church, on Martin
Luther" in which he described the pc.
culiar fitness Of the so-called reformer
out by saying that Luther was born in
a Catholic home and was at one TINS
a good Catholic, which is certainly true,
but he did not inform his audience
what Dean Swift said that he after
wards became worthless weed and
was cast over the Popes garden wall.
One would infer from the young man
of Wesley church that Luther was a:
paragon of excellence who was shocked
at the corruptions in the church and thu
ribaldry of the priests while at their.
devotions.
Of course, he brings in the sale Of
indulgences and says it is a peculiarly
Roman practice. He says Leo x. was
worldly, profligate and ambitious, and
that he offered indulgences for sale
to build St. Peters church. Rev.
Hughes said many other things after
the Protestant fashion, but nothing at
all new. He repeated parrot-like the
same old story which has been refuted
by even Protestants themselves. It il
not worth while to make any comments
upon such an address. 1t probably
pleased the gathering before him, but
if he were called upon for proof of his
assertions he would find it a difficult
matter to furnish. We do not know
whether the sophomore Hughes was
born Catholic like Luther, but he
ought to have been. 1t is remark
able thing that one bearing the honored
name of the great Catholic prelates
Archbishop Hughes of New York, should
be filling Methodist pulpit in Mime
apolis and misrepresenting the church
of his forefathers.

remove the impeachment. He then goes
on to say: Eve in France look to the

TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

AS the readers of the Kgis already
know, tomorrow afternoon will mark
the closing of the Democratic ante
primary campaign in Hartford county
by the selection of delegates in the
different districts of the county to
meet at the county seat next Thurs
day to nominate a ticket to be pre-
sented to the people at the Novem-
Der election. Indications point to a
full vote, and a perfectly fair register
ing of the sentiments of all partici
pating, is assured.
There are nine places on the ticket
to be elected this fall, including
County Surveyor. For this last
place there is no publicly announced
candidate. leaving eight places to be
filled from among the nineteen names
announced in the columns of the Kgis.
Necessarily, therefore, eleven out of
the nineteen must be unsuccessful in
obtaining the honors they seek.
The ambition to hold public Office is
entirely laudabe and honorable, es-
pecially so as regards local Offices in a
community like Hartford county,
where each and every voter is pei
sonally acquainted with the men ask
ing for his support. A position of
trust, gained through the esteem of
ones neighbors, is superior in point
of honor to the office of President,
which may be gained or lost by the
use of a million dollars or so of
campaign funds or an unfortunate
Inisconstruction of the wording of
a platform, 1t is well and good
that the voters should have plenty
of good material from which to choose
their standard bearers, and every
man who goes into the primaries
as a candidate should feel that he
has a perfect right to present his
claims for support and recognition.
But each candidate, to be fair,
must concede to all his opponents
the same rights which he claims
for himself, and he should bear
in mind that the primary contest
is not a fight to the finish, but sim
ply method of choosing standard
bearers for the party of his choice
the party to which he belongs
and from which he expects loyal
and hearty support. He should be
prepared, therefore, to first put

RACE TRACK GAMBLING.

The action OF the Republican con-
vention on Monday, in regard to con-
demning the outlaw race tracks ana
the pool selling is what the -ftgtS has
long made a bitter fight for.
This curse put upon US by Republi-
can government has so far debauched
the citizens of sister county as to
make the better element rise up in
arms and say it shall not be tolerated.
The first paperin Maryland, we say
with pride, to start this fight was the
-Egis. In the beginning, many persons
were fearful to express themselves, on
account of the strong sentiment OF the
people who were backing the enter
prise, but now, as it is apparent that
such gambling places should be closed,
all will fall in line to see it must be
done. Yet how much better it would
have been for the organ of the Re
publican party ard its followers to
have made a manly fight against
what they knew as God-serving citi-
zens, to be wrong, and not wait until
they saw the drift of sentiment and
then claim all the credit, when they
know within themselves they did not
have the nerve to stand up when it
was necessary to show these vultures
that public sentiment would not allow
them within our boundaries.

ing in This. to put forth the same
efforts and to display the same
zeal for the success Of the whole
party ticket that he would have
expected from his contestant had
the result been reversed.
This we hope and firmly believe
will be the case i'll Hartford to-
morrow. Among all the nineteen
names announced, there is not one
which is not worthy of support by all
good voters of our county, and a
ticket cannot be framed from the
material presented which is assailab!e
from any point of view. Success or
defeat may mean much to individual
candidates, but they must remember
that the Democratic party does not
belong to any man, but that they all
belong to the party-that those who
receive nominations should indeed
feel proud: as having been highly hou-
ored by those who know them best,
but that those who have failed have
not been deprived of any vested right.
If we all enter into the peaceful cor
test of tomorrow afternoon i'll this
spirit there can be no doubt as to the
result in November. There is every
evidence that the people of Maryland
are heartily tired of their brief eX-
pertinent of Republican misrule, and
al willing-n nay, anxious-to return to
their allegiance to that party which
kept the fair name and credit of our
State so high for many, many years.
The revolt against Incompetence, cor
ruption and impudence in the Repub-
lican camp is sincere and tremendous.
Nothing is needed to insure complete
Democratic success this fall except
unison. Let us have it.
