country of their adoption, whose great
ness they helped to build up by the
varied efforts Of their restless genius,
and TO whose history they have lent the
luster which eloquence in the senate and
daring and self-sacrifice in war always
contribute, had forgotten all that 1t oweo
to Irish valor and Irish intellect, and
allied itself in close partnership with the
nation that has sought for generations
to wipe 1rishmen off the face of the
earth, that at the present moment plumb
ers ireland of millions every year while
thousands Of its people are crying for
food to lull the pangs of an unbearable
hunger. Such a pact as this, while it
would be the apotheosis Of American
humiliation, would be an outrage on
lrishmen. Their adopted country in
league with England. Why the bare
thought of such fellowship ought to
make the 100000 of our race cry out
with one voice to stop the infamy. Irish.
Americans are proud of their adopted
country. Its honor is theirs. They are
among the truest and best beloved of it's
citizens. They would be the first to re-
sent any policy that would lessen its
prestige. And if Americans, who pride
themselves on being the guardians of
human liberty, whose flag is the symbol
OF equality between man and man. are
willing to join hands with people whs
have plundered and looted in every cor
ner OF the globe, and who for genera
lions nave wallowed in the blood of
weak and defenseless people, then we
say 1t is the duty of Irish-Americans tn
save the great republic, wherein thew
nave found home, from the colossal
lnfamy that this unnatural combination
would imply. They owe it to America
TO 40 SO since, as custodians Of its honor,
they could not see that honor furnished,
Ana they owe it to their motherland tn
use every exertion to obstruct a schema
mat would take England out of her diff
hculties' and that would give her re-
newed lease Of power to continue her
helaflous thieveries all over the world
An alliance with America is now the
only hope England has of coming out Of
the sea of troubles in which she is inn
mersed, and, accordingly, it is the du,v

enable her to keep her troops in ireland
to prevent the Irish from throwing oft
the shackles Of tyranny. Once Ireland
gets her God-given rights. the opposl-
ton to an Anglo-American alliance will
cease on the part Of Irish-Americans, but
not till then. They will defend the
Stars and Stripes against the world; but
never will they fight willingly to extend
the piratical sway of the monster that
denies their kindred the rights Of free
men in the land of their birth. 1t win
be interesting to watch what DISPOSE
ton the President and Congress of the
United States will make Of the pathetic
appeal Of the Irish people, If they spurn
1T with contempt and favor an offensive
and defensive alliance with England, I'M
der the circumstances, it will be an in
delible disgrace to the great republic OF
the West.

AS to the nationality of Admiral
Dewey's ancestors we beg to inform our
Saltwater correspondent that 1t is prob
ably English. The family has been in
America for generations, and the Chris
tian names of its members denote they
were Puritan. 1t is said by the Cath
Ollie Universe of Cleveland, O.. that the
brave hero of Manila is Catholic.
The following clipping from it is going
the rounds Of the press: Those who
express doubts as to the spirit of Ameri-
can Catholics in the existing emergency
will be surprised to learn that this spir-
it is manifested in Admiral Deweys
brilliant achievement at Manila. Ad-
miral George Dewey is a Catholic, a
convert to the faith, and OH the author
ity of one who was closely associated
with the hero in the navy we are in
formed that he is very consistent anu
practical Catholic, too The Univers.
ought to name its authority when MAX
ing such a statement.

The Labor World, a paper published
in Duluth, took no stock in Margaret l..
Shepherds TRADES against Catholics. 1t
says:
"Now we are not Catholics, and we
think every one has the right to talk out
in meeting We are firm believers in
free speech, free press, but we do ask
the followers of this ex-nun if she has
any, who tremble for the future of the
American republic, to read the names Of
the crew of the Maine and see where
they were born-and of what religion
they were. Call the roll of Deweys
men-Ireland is pretty we'll represented.
And don't forget that the first mas. to
give his life for this free country, Amer
lea, and the freedom of Cuba, was a
Patrick"

The following utterance of Champ
Clark, the Missouri congressman, con-
tains much truth. We live in land
Of high mountains and high taxes, low
valleys and low wages, big crooked riv-
ers and big crooked statesmen. big lakes
and big strikes, big DRINKS, big pump
kins, big men with pumpkin heads, sill
YER streams that gambol in the noun
tains and pious politicians that gamble
in the night, roaring cataracts and roar
ing orators, fast young men, faster wom-
en-, sharp lawyers, sharp financiers and
sharp toed shoes, noisy children, fertile
plains that lie like sheet of water
and thousands of newspapers that lie
like thunder.

Now said Joe Chamberlain in his
Birmingham speech, what does history
show us?. 1t shows us that unless we
are allied to some great military power,
as we were in the Crimea, when we had
France and Turkey as allies. we cannot
seriously injure Russia" And so it is
that Joe makes bid for an Anglo
American alliance. He expects the
United States to help England 10 "ser-
iously injure Russia" the only true
friend the republic had when England
was trying to destroy it generation ago.
This republic would be truly "ungrate-
full if it Joined it's hereditary enemy TO
injure it's best friend.

Universe, Cleveland, o., says he is
Roman Catholic who abandoned Meth
odism. What has Dooley of the Chica-
go Journal to say on the subject? He
ought to know what church cousin
George" belongs to. Webster defines
"vcstryman" as "one of select num-
Der Of persons in parish, elected for
the management of its temporal con-
cerns.' 1t is not likely that Dewey
would accept the management of the
temporal affairs Of any parish when he
is away on the briny deep and so seldom
on land. The information about Dewcy's
religion is too vague and indefinite. Let
us have more particulars regarding the
matter.

Says the Church News, of Washing
ton: The departure of the Emmett
Guards for the front was witnessed by
thousands of their friends who assem-
bled to say goodbye and to wish
them a safe return One Of the last
requests made by the members of this
admirable company was that the prayers
to the Sacred Heart should be said for
them during their absence. When we
consider the faith of Catholics we need
not wonder that they make good SOL
diers. They know that it their duty
to obey their civil rulers when called
upon to fight, and if necessary to die
for their country, and that God Will
bless in special manner the one who
performs his duty in the hour of danger.

A remarkable Irishman named Robert
Taylor is still living at the age Of 1874
years. He has been in the employ of the
English postal service for 76 years. He
was born at Scarva, north Of Ireland, in
the reign of George III, and was 81 years
old when the battle of Waterloo was
fought. He can clearly remember the
revolt of the American colonies against
England. He remained bachelor until
he had passed the age of 100 years, and
in 1872 he married lady whom he had
known for over so years. The old gen.
tleman possesses all his faculties and
discharges all the duties Of postmaster
in his native village.

him. Let the Citizen call him British
statesman, if it p!cases. but we protest

NOlN-PAYING CLAIMS.
Many Gold Seekers About Dawson are
Net Making Wages.

San Francisco, July Pc. Lewis, Of
Circle City, Alaska, who came down on
the steamer Portland, brings over S25,-
coo. He states That only one out of
every ten claims around Dawson are
paying wages. Those that pay at all
are paying big money. On Eldorado
Creek, he says, there are about three
miles of really rich ground and on b.
nanza creek, every foot of which has
been advertised as paying, there are
more than twenty miles of absolutely
worthless claims. Capt Lindquist, of
the Portland, reports that on the 18th
inst. he sighted the steamer Tilla-
mock, with the Rideout in tow, just off
St Lawrence. On the 18th the steamer
Navarro, towing the State Of Mime
sofa, was sighted ten miles north OF
Unalaska. When the Portland left
Dutch Harbor on the 10th. the steamer
Brunswick, the tug Holyoke, and three
earges were in port. The schooner
H. C. Wright arrived there on the 10th
Of last month.
