EMPLOYERS NOT TO B .AME.

At the time the First Infantry went into camp at Ukiah last year a number of members of the companies did not go, and each handed in the old excuse, My employer would not let me off" There were so many of these that Colonel Smith determined to ascertain If it were true so many employers were unpatriotic enough to refuse to allow their employees to perform a duty imposed by the State. The result was that exceedingly few of the employers declared that they could selves on such duty and the exception was only in cases where the employer had but one employe, whom he could not al detriment to his business. After having had a full report in each case the de- linquents were brought up for neglect of duty, and all such have been fined and several have been dropped for the good of the service. It is expected these examples will teach the regiment a lesson not to be forgotten.

Under the pro- visions of section 2032. rules and regula- tions for the National Guard, the officers a } at this time enlisting boys of the sev- eral High Schools of this city who are over five feet six inches In height and able bodied. The enlistment, a result of the war talk, was commenced two weeks ago. and up to Saturday last the member ship roll was increased to 102 officers and men.
 Ever since the Cadet Company was or ganized by Colonel w. R. Smedberg thir- teen years ago the company has been To- cated in the Lowell High School on Slut ter street, but as the quarters there are too contracted to accommodate the in creased company it will leave the old armory and accommodations for 1t will probably be provided in the regimental armory at Page and Cough streets The change will be for the better, as for some the company on the part of the pupils of the school and of the teachers

The Pioneer Press, which is dominated
by the corporations, refers to C. K. Davis,
the obsequious puppet of Jim Hill, in the
very flattering and eulogistic phraseology
One would think from reading the P. P.
that if Davis was not on deck during the
trouble with Spain our country would
have gone to the dogs. Listen to the
organ Of the expansionists: Senator
Davis is the heroic figure among Ameri-
can statesmen in the controversy of the
United States with Spain. If he was the
high priest who opened the temple of
Janus in these memorable resolutions.
he was conspicuous among those who
made it's close glorious epoch in Amer

THE NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

Inc readers OF the Irish Standard who
are acquainted with the character and
career Of Senator C. K. Davis, the Paris
commissioner. will not be surprised at
the interview given by him to a repre-
sentative of London paper in which he
advocates triple alliance both offensive
and defensive, between Great Britain
Japan and the United States.
When Senator Davis speaks on inter-
national subjects he is the exponent and
mouthpiece Of the Mckinley administra-
ton. In his speech at the dedication of
the new state capitol in St. Paul last
summer he spoke with authority, and his
address was cabled to the London press
and ELECTED glowing eulogiums for his
friendly reference to England. On his
way across the Atlantic to serve on the
peace commission he made an address
lauding England to the skies and drew
raptulOus applause from all the Anglo
maniacs on board the Campania He
gave ineffable delight to an English
nobleman named Marriott, who was
Implicated in Promoter Hooley's swlnd-
ling operations in the modern Babylon.
1t is safe to say that no American states-
man stands higher in the esteem of Joe
Chamberlain and the Tory classes of
England than Senator Davis. Under
the guise of American patriotism he is
advocating the very policy of the Sails
bury government, and If British gold can
secure his continued services an unli,u-
tied supply will be placed at his disposal

Says the San Francisco Monitor: Amid
the lurid talk of Spanish inhumanity and
the decadence of the Latin races we do
not remember to have had our attention
called to the fact that Butcher" Weyler
is German. He was the author of all the
most horrible horrors of Cuba. He is re-
ported to have excelled all Spaniards
since the time of the inquisition in blood
thirstiness. He was represented to us
as kind of juggernaut revealing in the
blood of women and children. He was
Spain and Spanish methods-the church
and state, personified. And he is not a.
Spaniard after all; only mild-manner-
ed and humane Teuton. 1t is a stiff
wrench, but it will brace us for the

triple alliance with England as the pre-

Stories of Charles S. Parnell.


Nothing is more interesting in Mr..
Barry O'Brien's recently published Life
of Parnell' than his stories Of "the

cited.

smoking room of the house of commons,

What at length the other inquired,

On another occasion he was walking
along the Strand with his secretary. An
Irish member passed, and saluted the
chief.
"Who is that?" asked Parnell.

"Ah!" said Parnell, II did not know
we had such an ugly man in the party"
On the occasion of the Kilkenny cleo
ton, Parnell asked Mr.. O'Brien to stand.
He subsequently, and at the last mo-
ment. selected local man. Mr.. Scully.
"shall we wire and pull off OBrien"
Parnell was asked.
"No," was the reply, che can come
and help Scully."
There was a good deal Of difference of
opinion among the Nationalists upon the
line to be taken with regard to the Sec

party meeting was called, and the MEM
bers attended, with the intention of CIV

"Mr. Parnell, if you please" was his

Parnell, in his short way with other
people, was no respecter of persons. He

lessons from G. K Davis, and they can
tell the new generation if it need to
know, why they cannot respect him now

what he stands for now, as corporation
defender, and exponent Of the parry of
the trusts and combines, and what he
stood for in his youthful vigor when he
spoke for the people, and. as all believe,
from the heart, they are in. no mood to
have their representatives led away by
silly sentimentalism. They believe that
in 1871-2-3 "Cush" Davis was sincere.
Then he talked Modern Feudalism," as
he contemplated the grasping power of
the corporations and the dangers con-
fronting the plain common people. He
was the first preacher of municipal own

government seize trunk lines and permit
the owners of trains and others to carry
their produce on them without cost, same
as any free road. A dozen years later he

that the seeds sprang up and grew into
the Farmers Alliance, which made an
almost successful attempt to redeem the
state from the evils c. K. Davis de-
nounced.
For time this man, whose ability is
acknowledged and mastery of language
great, was in retirement. He was devel-
oping professional business of value to
the corporations he had denounced. He
reached the United States senate. But
when next he pleads a public utility it is
as a corporation attorney in a battle
against the state itself.
If it were the G. X. Davis of 1878 to SO.
the people would know no party in his
honor; one of the present sort-no, thank
you The reform forces in this state have
men of stauncher stuff, and they will
place one such in their leadership, even
though the honor prove empty.
The allied forces have good exhorta-
ton to stand solid, in the action of the
national Democratic caucus, pleading a
united front to the enemy.
