1.-THE Republican party of today is the
true heir to the Tory party of the Amer
lean revolution. In it all the Angloma-
MACS in the country feel themselves at
home. The Republican party is no
longer Republican. 1t is monarchical or
imperalist, but not Republican.
president McKinley's special object
just now seems to be to cultivate a
close friendship with England which
means an Anglo American alliance. And
this with view to embark in piratical
enterprises the world over! This idea
dominates the conduct of the state de-
partment through all its ramifications.
Nor is this evil influence brought to bear
only on officials directly under the exec
utive. United States senators have been
approached personally and urged to
promise their votes for an Anglo Amcri-
can alliance when the time for action is
judged to be ripe.
But Napoleon the Little is not like
ly to have things all his own way He
has the will but not the genius. the dis
position but not the courage, to accom-
plish all the villainy implied in this rev.
dictionary scheme.
Meanwhile he is doing his best to de-
stroy the Republican party: and, con-
sidering what the Republican party has
come to be. if he succeeds in that he may
do the country substantial service"
We hope the Irish World will main
tain it's present attitude and not flop
over" to the rapacious party whose prin-
ciples it once advocated with conspicu-
GUS ability. The tariff question Is now
laid on the shelf by Mckinley and his
followers. and nothing is heard of but
IAN open door" in the Philippines for
the promotion of British trade. We
congratulate our esteemed contemporary
on getting its eyes opened even at the
eleventh hour. 1t could not consistency
with principle remain any longer at
tached to party which has abandoned
the traditions of the republic and is am
bilious to gain imperial sway over the
inhabitants of Oriental islands. The
party is too British for the Irish World,
which is thoroughly American as we'll as
Irish. and that is cause enough to break
away from it.

Three prominent Republican members

Three prominent Republican members
of the United States senate-Hoar. Hale
and Morrill-are outspoken against the
ambitious scheme of taking the Philip
pines by treaty or otherwise, for the sole
benefit of commercial syndicates. Senator
Mason, of Illinois, Is also said to be op-
posed to the un-American policy of
governing inferior races by military
force. The only Democratic senator who
has raised his voice against the Hanna
Mckinley plan is Senator German, but
others will be heard from when the mat
ter comes up in the upper chamber of
congress for ratification.

UTTERLY TIRED OF M'KlNLEYIsm.

The irish World, of New York. of
prietor, seems to regret having used it's
influence in behalf of William Mckinley
DENTAL campaign of 1896. Several lead
ing articles appeared in its columns on
the question of bimetallism at the open
ing Of the campaign. which led it's read
ers TO suppose that it would support Will
liam J. Bryan instead Of William Nc
kinley All of a sudden it dropped BIZ
metallism like a hot potatoe and began
to expatiate on the benefits to the Amer
thought at the time that the Irish World
made a mistake in casting its lot with
the party of plutocracy, and from the
tone of it's recent editorials 1t appears to
once in it's life in becoming the cham
pion of party now engineered by such
II man as Mark Hanna, who. If he had
his deserts, would now he occupying Il

tirement OF John Sherman from the
United States senate. But 1t is never
too late to mend. and VIC are glad to see
Patrick Ford and his paper get on the
right track again. He is a man of con-
siderable influence both here and in Ire
land and has never gone wrong on the
question of Irish nationality and the
ntrigues and Vaccinations of the Brit
ish government. The Irish World is
growing tired of the Republican party as
at present constituted and gives its
reasons therefor in plain, vigorous Eng
lish. In last. weeks issue it says:

purpose, why not dispense with it alto
gether and establish constitutional
monarchy to take the place of this pie
beian republic? The fathers of. the re-
public were old fogies, anyway. What
did they know in comparison with mark
Hanna. Matt Quay. Steve Elkins and the
rest of McKinleys advisers, including
our own Cush Davis?
In our opinion the Democratic party
of Jefferson and Jackson should be on
the alert and sound the alarm of dan
ger that confropts the republic at the
close of the nineteenth century. Shall
this government of the people, by the
people and for the people, perish from
the earth? Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" and the new departure
inaugurated by the little Napoleon of
Canton and his plutocratic masters is a
menace to the stability ard perpetuity of
Republican institutions on this con-
tinent. The press, which was once the
palladium and guardian of the peoples
liberty. is no longer so. 1t is now venal
and corrupt and is gradually growing
less American. 1t is thoroughly un-
Democratic, with few honorable except
ions, and is no longer a safe guide for
patriotic citizens who imbibe it's pernic-
ious principles. The Democratic party of
the nation seems to have no leaders
courageous enough to oppose the I'M
American policy of the Hanna Mckinley
administration, and the Democrats of the
country in the rank and file are too In
different to support papers of their own
to advocate sound American doctrine.

Col. Roosevelt was elected governor of
New York over Augustus Van Wyck by
only 10000 plurality, and yet the Repub-
licans consider it great victory and an
emphatic Endorsement of Mckinley s
war policy. In 1896 Gov. Black, the
present incumbent carried the state by a
plurality of 212,ss2 when there was not
the remotest anticipation of Spanish
American war. 1t was Roosevelt's mil
