CHAMBERLAIN ON THE WAR PATH.

Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of
state for the British colonies in Sails
bury's cabinet, has returned to England
after spending few months in the
United States. Last Tuesday he made
the first public speech since his return
from this country, and it is almost un-
necessary to say that it was of belli-
c0se character He referred to the An
glo-French relations in no uncertain
tones. and declared that IF the Fash
oda incident only SERVES to disabuse
foreign statesmen OF the erroneous
conception that tie British will yield
anything to pressure. it will be a bless
ing in disguise" What effect such blus-
ter will produce in the French republic
may be surmsed 1t seems to us that
Chamberlain was embodened to speak

received by him from the Anglomaniacs

he said: Our American kin have be-
gun to understand IFS better. If we

lieve they have arisen entirely from the
want of proper mutual understanding
but now the Americans know that in the
late trouble our hearts went out TO
them. and they heartily reciprocate our
good feelings. shall not attempt to

feeling but may at least hope that in

that in the face of that understanding

The English and their friends have had
their innings, historically, for a genera

suit is American national degeneracy.
American children of all other breeds,

inal falsehoods must be conquered in this
generation, and the only way to do it is
to teach the history of all Europe, with
American history, in all our schools, and
the earlier it is so taught in the lower
grades the better.

latter would serve as an antidote to Dick
ems "Chid's History of England" in
which the Irish people of the twelfth and
preceding centuries are represented as
grossly ignorant and barbarous. The
Irish American children attending the
public schools must blush for shame
when reading such falsehoods about their
ancestors. Surely the parochial schools
attended by the Irish-American children
and supported by their parents should
teach different kind of history relating
to Ireland. We hope that Mr.. Finerty's
noble appeal will not he in vain. Let
the good work begin in the archdiocese
of Chicago and other places will follow

the two English-speaking nations would
fear no other alliance. Our imagina-

the possible understanding between the
7O,OO0,00O of the United States and our
oO,OOO,OO0 Britons, an understanding
which would guarantee peace and civ

know they are animated by the same
motive and aspirations, employ the
same methods and love justice as our
selves, and such a new departure will,
doubtless, as Lord Salisbury has said,
serve our interests, not in any selfish
or mercenary sense, but because it will

There are thousands Of Ango-Ameri-
cans scattered over this broad continent
who will read the speech of Joe Cham
berlain, the Judas of British politics,
with urspeakable delight, but there are
thousands of Americans who desire no
closer relations with England than with
any other European nation, and who
look with grave suspicion on any en-
tente cordiale with country remarka-
bic above all others for it's treachery
and lnslncerity. 1t behooves patriotic
Americans of other origin than anglo
Saxon to be on the alert at this criti-
cal period of the republic, and pay heed
to the admonition of Washington about
entangling alliances. The Hanna-Mc-
kinley administration favors an alliance
with Great Britain, and Chamberlain
knows it. Not an open alliance, per-
haps, at the beginning, but an under
standing that in case of war with
France, Germany or Russia, the British
government could rely on the sympathy
and cooperation of the United States If
England was getting the worst of it.

IRISH HISTORY IN THE SCHOOLS.

John T.. l'incrity is advocating the in
PRODUCTION of Irish history into all paro-
chial schools in America controlled by
priests and prelatcs of Irish birth or
origin. In a recent issue of the Chicago
Citizen he says:
1t is a shame and an outrage that the
history of the fatherland of 10000 900
Americans is not taught in either our
public, private or rarochial schools. Our
children have been made the innocent
victims of either cowardice or indifYer-
ence.

Mark Hanna admits that the Dinelev
tariff is a failure as revenue producer
because we are exporting instead of
importing. The fact is that the pro-
hibitory duties imposed for protection
keep out foreign goods. Mark and his
clique reap the benefit as was intend
ell, while the deficit in the revenue must
be paid in some other way. The Ohio
politician would tax tea and coffee to

putting duty on tea and coffee. The
revenues for the support of the govern
ment must be raised in some way, and
the indirect way is the best according
to my idea. When the people do not
realize that they are paying tax, there

The Minneapolis Times is a great ad-
mirer of Cushman X. Davis and favors
his unanimous reelection to the United

vices he has given to the nation during
the entire period of the late war, the
lofty craftsmanship he has shown, the
height of patriotism to which he has
risen, and the national distinction he has
attained. have added luster to Mime
sota.' What buncombe from this So
called independent paper! Can it specify
one act of lofty craftsmanship" on the
part of the st. Paul jingo? He has rem
dered no services to this state or nation
that entitle him to unanimous re-elec-
tion. He is simply the henchman of the
syndicates and corporations and is en-
tirely destitute of real patriotism.

WHY THE REPUBLICANS WON.

William j. Bryan remained silent
during the late election, and took no part
whatever in the campaign lest he should
be accused by partisan opponents of at
tempting to embarrass the Mckinley
administration while serving in mill
tary capacity. In an interview with a
representative of the Associated Press
week after election day, Col Bryan
said:
Now that the election is over, 1
shall exercise a citizens privilege of
discussing the returns. Compared with
the election of 1896, the Republicans
have gained in some places and lost in
others. 1t was not sweeping Republic
can victory. On the other hama, the
result is not surprising when it is re-
membered that the administration is
just concluding a successful war.
while majority of the soldiers are
probably anti-Republican, the manage.
ment of the war has been entirely in
Republican hands, and the strongest
argument used during the campaign was
that Republican defeat would dis
credit the president in the eyes of for
eign nations. while his commissioners
were engaged in making treaty.
at was not trial upon the issues
now before the people. but a successful
plea for continuance of the case. The
people have not L accepted the gold
standard; they have not fallen in love
with the plan to give the banks mo-
nopoly of the issne of money; they
have not decided to retire the green
backs; they have not surrendered to
the trusts.
These questions We're forced into the
background by the declaration of war.
but they must be faced again as soon as
peace is restored. fine Chicago plat
form presents for public consideration
certain vital economic questions. That
platform has not been abandoned by
those who indorsed it in 1895. 1t will
be reaf1irmed in 1900, becat,se it gives
expression to the hopes and aspirations
of a large majority of the party. When
the Democrats, Popullsts and Silver Re-
publicans favored Cuban independence,
they understood that warIwould give
temporary advantage to the party in
power, but they were wiling to risk de-
feat in order to aid the people fighting
to be free.
Neither can the election be regarded
as an Endorsement of any definite for
ign policy. Until a treaty of peace has
been entered into and the terms made
known, the people cannot pass judg-
ment upon it. Whether the war will
raise any question of sufficient i'm
portance to turn public attention away
seen"
Those sanguine Republicans who be-
lieve that the coinage question is dead
will be awakened from their fond de-
lusion in 1900. In all probability the
"crime of '73" will be the principal issue
in the next presidential campaign as it
was in the last. and William j. Bryan is
likely to be the Democratic standard

not lost any of its votaries in the past
two years, and it is reasonable to hope
that it will gain new adherents as it's
