BOSTON, Aug. 4, 1S9s.-A special cable
gram to the Journal from Ponce, Porto

A tremendous sensation has occurred in
the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment, which

friction between the line officers of the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 1s9S.-It is
stated at the War Department that no in
formation has been received up to this
time concerning the reported serious
friction in the Sixth Massachusetts Regi-
ment, now serving in Porto Rico and the
resignation of number of the regimental
officers. Under the circumstances the de-
partment officials decline TO discuss the
reported incident and they convey the
idea that they have no knowledge Of what
has led up to it.

be retired to private life. The money
power wanted a foreign outlet for its
wealth extorted from labor. It wants
illiterate ignorance that can be enslaved
and disfranchised. It wants not vacant
lands for new homes, but dense popula-

wants all these things, and in this

The demand for the annexation of
territory west of the Mississippi came
from the common people, and was de-

demand for the annexation of Porto Rico

The whole trend of American civiliza-

: Mgr Conaty, of the Washington, D..

ing Of the Irish in America:
Oppression sanctifed his ideas Of free
dom, and rather than be slave he aban-
doned the land of his love. He has an I'M
dying love for mOtherland. and yet mother
land was to him but the soil of his an
cestOrs. their hopes and sorrows, for he had
no state in which it was exemplified. Hence
it was in his heart and mind, and every
where he went he carried it enthusiastically
with him. He loved the new land in which
he found a home, but he also loved the old
land whence he came. His country to him
was idealiZed. 1t was his Tir Nan Og-a
land of perpetual youth. in which are en-
shrined the highest ideals of holiness.
beauty and Justice.
The Irish easily assfmilate, but nowhere
more than in America, because here the
ideals of country are nearer to their hearts
ideals The vastness of country satisfies
his wandering nature: the business of law
satisfies his oppressed heart; the glory Of

Mgr. Conaty quoted from Senator Hoar
in his address at the 25Oth anniversary of
worcester: But see what the Irshman
brings also as a dowry to this marriage
which the centuries are to weld. The Irish
race is conspicuous among great races for
great traits No people that possess them
ever failed to achieve a high rank among
nations on a fair field. These are the capa-
city to produce great men under the most
adverse conditions; the capacity for rapid
elevation when conditions are favorable,

STRONG AND TERRIBLE.

If matters go on as at present the morn
ing Of the Twentieth century will witness
the almost total aninhilation of the great
middle class. On one side will stand a few
multimillionaires and on the other side will
be the multitude poverty stricken Over-aw-
ed by misfortune. and cowed into submits
sion by the fear that if they incur the dis
pleasure Of their masters they will end
their days in prison.
And how men, sane men. men who have
children growing up, children who without
fail must form part of the proletariat, the
poor multitude. can quietly submit to the
changes that are driving their posterity into
serfdom, is beyond our understanding He
who would be free must battle for his
rights. 1t is not enough for fathers that
they battle for their own rights: but they
should strive also to secure to posterity
that political and industrial freedom to
which every individual is entitled.-Fergus

GETTING THEIR EYES OPEN.

1--WE have heard of this statement being
made by certain Democrats, to the effect
that the Populist party is dead and that
they are glad of it. There are men in
Brown county who call themselves Demo-
Gratis that talk like this, and possibly the
same feeling exists in other counties, and if
they don't want the help of the PopulistS
In the future We just want to give notice
that when another election comes around
they will wake up and find themselves left
The PCpuiists have done more to bring
about the election of John Lind than the
Democrats and Silver Republicans. They
have for the past 10 years denounced the
evils that have gone up under Republican
rule in the state. and not until two years
ago were the Democrats forced into line
for reform. The convention that nominated
Bryan In 1896 stole nearly all the principles
and demands of the Populist's platform, and
why are a few Democrats in the state so
ungrateful as to make any such statement?
The editor of this paper has attended all the
county. congressional, state and national
conventions and conferences of both Ali
ance and PCpust parties for the past nine
years and knows whereof he speaks when
he says that the Populist party Is far from
being dead. If the Populist party is simply
to be used an aid to get a few Demo-
Gratis into office and then be kicked out
they would like to know it. The next con-
vention of the Populst party will demon
strate to the people that it is anything bat
dead. Mark our predction.-The Sleepy

PATRIOTISM VS.. HYPOCRISY.

The United States helped Cuba gain
her independence, and is therefore en-
titled to establish and maintain over the
Cubans military despotism. The
Minneapolis Tribune declares it would
be wrong and great injustice to aban-
don the few Spanish capitalists to the
tender mercies of Cuban self-govern-
ment. Does the Tribune regard the Gu
ban war as a war for the freedom of
Cuban citizens, or the protection of
Spanish money-bags? What would our
forefathers have said if, in 1889, France
had claimed the right to establish over
this nation military despotism
to protect the capital of a few
British Tories? They would have
trained their guns on France and
told that nation to keep unto itself
across the pond. The honest American
patriotism of the fathers has given place
to hypocritical gush of modern monop-
oily owned newspapers. Think of
newspaper placing the capital of few
Spanish grandees above the liberties of
the whole Cuban people. E. AT.

GOLD IS KING,

Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, and a
few other prominent congressman rep
resenting plutocratic districts have been
indiscreet in expressing their honest
convictions against expansion.
The Plutocratic press of the country
is, however, vigorously calling them
down and the nation will witness the
disgraceful spectacle of seeing these
men eat crow, cringe before the money
power Or be retired from politics.
It is difficult for men Of wide infor-
nation, broad culture and experienced
craftsmanship to throw aside their con-
ticn of a money power that has come in
to control of our government within the
last 80 years.
These men had learned to respect our
institutions, the Monroe doctrine and the
basic principles upon which our whole
fabric of government rests. They had
come to regard the spirit Of the Monroe
doctrine as contemplating that America
should be ration for and within it.
self, jealousy guarding the soil of the
Western hemisphere against foreign en-
croachment, and being equally careful
against encroaching upon the territory of
the old world.
The only right by which we ever could
or can now demand of European powers
hands off, is an equal concession on our
part that our possessions shall be con-
fined to our side of the great pond, the
new world. Once open the gateway for
the egress of our own covetousness, and
the gateway is then equally open for the
ingress Of the ambitions of the old world
The great object sought by the Monroe
doctrine was immunity from foreign en-
tanglements, from large navies and from
immense standing armies. Heretofore
American expansion has been confined
to American soil. The lands in each in
stance have been comparatively unsettled
and the chief object of their annexation
has been to open new homes for our own
people. In each instance the acquisition
of such new territory has been an ele-
ment Of national strength rather than
national weakness. 1t has lessened in
stead of increased the necessity for
armies and navies. We have annexed
American lands instead of foreign popu-
lations, and Senator Hoar and few Of
his clear-headed colleagues see this.
They have indiscreetly given utterance

DEMOCRATS AND FREE SILVER.
A dispatch to the Minneapolis Tribune
from Washington, D. c., says:


The Democrats are threatened with
internal trouble of serious character. The
visit of Mr. Bryan has gone a long way
towards bringing about harmony Of action
among the Democrats in congress on the
subject of expansion and the enlargement
of the army, but the party seems to be
threatened with trouble over the financial
question in the more remote future. The
gold men of the party feel, they say. greatly

gain their influence in the party. They have
practically no influence in this congress, but
expect to have considerable in the next
