brought to his Office the genius and elo-
quence that Mr.. Gladstone did. He was
as conscientious as Burke, but he had
opportunities Of making effective his
genius as a political leader which We're
denied to Burke. In the brilliancy Of
his gifts he was at least the equal of
Bolingbroke. but no one ever pretended
to regard BolingDroke as man Of high
political principle. Gladstone was as
great an orator as either Pitt, and he
has left the imprint OF his intellect on
benef1cent political and social legisla
ton to an extent which neither OF the
two Pitts had the happiness to rival In
eloquencc he far surpassed Golden, and
was the peer of Bright, while his posi-
ton as parliamentary leader enabled
him to initiate and carry out measures
of reform which Bright and Golden could
only support. He was, In short, the
greatest and the best prime minister

President of the United States. That is
Anglo-Saxonism in the superlative de-
gree. William T. Swinborne, Of the

staff of Gov. Johnston, Of Alabama. were
present, the latter acting as toast-mas-
ter. The Daily News of London says
that Englishmen will reciprocate the
compliment to the queen by celebrating
the Fourth of July. If they do they
will celebrate their own defeat by
Washington and the heroes of the Revo-
luton. But they are capable Of hui

The respectable citizens of Duluth, both
Catholic and Protestant owe deep debt
of gratitude to the News-Tribune of that
city for publishing from the Irish Stand
ard the unsavory record and antecedents
Of Mrs. Margaret L. Shepherd, the "es-
capped num-" We regret to say that the
daily press of Minneapolis refused to
publish her history, and that through
love of filthy lucre it advertised the lee
lures of the notorious hypocrite and help
ed her to reap -a~fich harvest from her
Protestant dupes. If her talk had not
been too salacious and communicating in
its influence we believe it would have
received ready insertion In the columns
of the Flour City papers. The press and
people of st. Paul, on the other hand,
gave the disreputable female wide
berth. Shame upon the Minneapolis
press and shame upon the bigots who
attended her so-called lectures. In JUS
tice to the Journal and Tribune it is right
to say that after the first insertion Of
her "ad." they absolutely refused to run
it in their columns. The Times, how
ever, published it right along and drew
attention to it in paragraph in it's Sum-
day issue. What would the publishers,
editors and reporters of the Times do if
their own brothers and sisters were at
tackled by a peripatetic vagabond like this
woman of three husbands, who ought to
be In the penitentiary? The Times was
handed a sketch of the woman for pub
lication and refused to use it. We want
these facts to be known by the readers Of
the Irish Standard from the Mississippi
to the Pacific.

ONLY A PRIVATE IN THE RANKS.

Sometime ago William j. Bryan, who
belongs to "the fighting race offered
his services to President Mckinley and
expressed his willingness to act in any
capacity to uphold the honor of his
countrys flag Presumably at the sug-
gestion of Mark Hanna. the occupant Of
the White House did not condescend to
notice the application of his opponent
for the presidency. AS already an
nCunced in these columns Gov. Holcomb,
of Nebraska, commissioned him to mus
ter in regiment OF volunteers, and it
was supposed he would be appointed
colonel Of it. 1t appears, however, that
the members Of the regiment have elect
cd somebody else who is to fame I'M
known" as Mr.. Bryan properly refused
to accept the command unless it was
rendered to him unanimously. Instead
of "sulling in his tent" and retiring in
disgust, the idol of the Democracy has
remained in the ranks as a private, thus
proving that he is not actuate1 by mil
itary ambition, but by genuine love of
country.
Notwithstanding this exhibition OF pa
triotism, Mr. Bryan has been attacked
by partisan sheets like the Chicago Trl-
bunc for volunteering his services in
the cause of Cuban liberty. If he had
| stayed ut home during the war, the same
| Anglo Saxon organ would berate him
as a coward.
The British American exponent of
| goldocracy says he is going into the
| war mainly for the purpose Of keep
! ing him before public which might
forget all about him II he did not do
So" We are glad that some Republi-
can papers do not indorse the malignant
remarks of the Chicago. Tribune Among
them is the Minneapolis Tribune, edited
by Major George K. Shaw. a veteran
soldier whose son is now lieutenant in
the navy. Commenting on the structures
of it's namesake, the Minneapolis Tri-
bune justly says:
"Mr. Bryan should be given credit for
tho same patriotic motives that other
citizens are given Who seek to do their
duty in this crisis.T Thousands Of men
all over the countryAmany of them
men of distinction-have offered their
services to tho government. Some of
them have received commissions from
the president. Others have raised
troops and in that way obtained COM
mands through their state executives.
The patriotism Of none Of these men has
been impugned except that Of Mr..
Bryan-and his. we are glad to say, only
by few caustic sheets which allow
their partisan prejudice to override
their sense Of fairness"

ple all his life, is willing to admit that
men can be loyal Americans though Diff

Says the New York Freemans Jour-
nal: The phrase "English-speaking
peoples is used instead of English or
Anglo-Saxon race, because the English
or Anglo-Saxon race is a myth, having
no foundation in reality. Daniel De
Foe. an Englishman, thus analyses its
heterogeneous genesis:
Forgetting that themselves are all de-
rived
From the most scoundrel race that ever
lived.
A horrid crowd of rambling thieves and
drones,
Who ransacked kingdoms and dispeo-
pied towns,
The Pict and painted Briton, treacher-
GUS Scot,
By hunger, theft and rapine hither
brought;
Norwegian pirates, buccaneering Danes.
Whose red-haired offspring everywhere
remains;
Who, Joined with Norman-French, conf
pound the breed,
From whence your "Free-born English
men" proceed.

THE IRISH PARLIAMENTARY PARTY.

In tho last issue of United Ireland"
to hand we find leading article from
the pen Of MIR. Timothy Harrington, NJ
p, which gives an idea Of the dcmoral-
ization wrought in the ranks Of the Irish
representation at Westminster by the
dissension and division among rival
leaders 1t is the old story over again.
While their tyrants join In hate, they
never join in love-" and the cause Of
their country suffers in consequence.
We will let MIR. Harrington describe the
present position of the Irish factions in
the following style:
the fact that there are no nightly con-
tlicts between the sections Of Irish Ma
tionalists in the house, and that, gener-
ally speaking, they are all to be found
voting in the same lobby and support
ing the same principles. AS political
machine the efficiency of the Irish
parliamentary party is gone. 1t once
dominated the imperial parliament; Il
decided the fate of ministers and gov
ernments, and there was no sphere OF
imperial politics free from its influence

sufficiently effective to earn the enmlty

fering from himself in politics. He goes
on to say: "The statement that Mr..
Bryan is in danger of being forgotten
by the public and is obliged to do some
thing of this kind to keep himself before
the people, is hardly warranted by the
facts. He has no trouble in drawing a
large audience whenever or wherever
he Is announced to make political
speech. Just now interest in the war
OF course overshadows politics; but Of
ter we once get fairly settled down to
the lighting, interest in politics will re-
sumo its sway. 1t was so during the
civil war, and will be even more so dur
ing this war, which will prove far less
absorbing"
The Chicago organ of plutocracy and
Anglo-Saxonism cannot snuff out by
hostile criticism. the brilliant young
leader Of half the American people, The
Mark Hannas and other corrupt poll
t1cians, who ought to be In the peni-
tentiaries, may succeed in getting Pres
ident Mckinley to treat Mr.. Bryan with
dlscourtesy, but they cannot prevent
him from serving as a private in the
ranks, after passing satisfactory phys
ical examination. Democrats need ex-
pect no honors from the piratical gang
in charge of the ship of state. A lot Of
obscure young men, the offspring of Re-
publican politicians, receive the mill
tary appointments in this war. But the
Democrats will fight all the same.

The representatives of the New York
course-seem to be busily engaged in get
ting the opinions Of leading public men
on the topic Of an Anglo-Saxon alli-
ance. One of the men recently APP
preached on the subject was the emin-
ent Irishman, Lord Charles Russell,
chief justice of England. He weighed
his words carefully and spoke guardedy
as follows: 81 am sorry that it is be-
yond my power to send any message
to the American people on the subject
of war You will understand that Amer
lea being at war with another country,
we have to preserve the strictest nell
trality. I, as Lord Chief Justice of Eng
land, cannot, in my official capacity,
give utterance to a single word nor can
in my private position act freely. It
may be that 1 will have to adjudicate
upon questions arising out of this I'M
fortunate war as to the relations be-
tween these islands and the United
otdtes. uOH see now TWO peoples
speaking the same tongue and sharing
in ideas, and having no antagonistic
interests, can fail to be on amicable
terms. and I think that this feeling
should be promulgated, not by any con-
tracts OF alliance, but as the result Of
natural feelings which stir two nations
situated as we are" Why do not these
newspaper fellows interview other Irish
homo rulers like Lord Russell? Mich
ael Davitt's views are we'll known; but
what of John Dillon, John Redmond and
their followers? The correspondents Of
Gotham papers keep clear of them TO,
