The enemies of Ireland We're on tho
alert and sent the offensive paragraph
10 this country to create prejudice
against the Irish cause which Americans
have always supported, both morally
ana financially, and the transmitter Of
the news took care to mention that the
paper froE! which it was taken was the
organ of John Dillon, the leader of the
Home Rule party in the house of conf
mons. That gentleman lost no time in
expressing his own personal sympathy
and that Of his party with America in
the conflict with Spain, and John Rcd
mond and his followers did the same.
and yet Il British news agent named
liarmsworth had the efrrontery of an
Ansio-SaNon TO send a cablegram later
on declaring that ireland, except the
Northern portion, sympathized with
Spain.
Inc Northern portion contains the FOL

TINS land OF civil freedom and religious
equality is we'll known The truth is
that Catholic Ireland is with the United
States today as it was in the days of the
revolution and the civil war, and Mr.
Harmsworth and men of his ilk are per-
fectly aware Of the fact. The bigotcd
liar had an object in view when he trans

Harold Frederic, the well-known Lon
don correspondent. referring to the at
tHudo Of Ireland on the Spanish Ameri-
can war. has the following to say:
summed up in a few words, Irish
feeling, SO far as have been able 10
gauge it. is an intense longing that the
war might end, but of hostility to our
people | find no serious evidence. True
1t is that the Freeman's Journal talked
some hircling nonsense about this be-
ing war of religions. but no one is
foolish enough to believe that the
lreemans Journal holds brief for
catholic Ireland. which. if needed
championing. would employ some other
Pen than that Of the versatile writer
who a few months ago was busily &C.
cuped in Belfast Stating Catholic bish-
ops. Indeed. so strong have been the
protests that the subject has dropped
cut OF its editorials, and is now only
ventilated by cranks in the correspond
ence columns"
The Irish at home would naturally
sEmpalhize with the United States, in
whose army and navy so many of their
ltilh and kin have enlisted. Besides
the Irish can never Ire accused of in
gratitude to a friend, and the very best
friend they have on earth is the great
republic of the West.

An interesting sketch of Rev. DR..
Thomas e. Shields, professor of biology
at st. Paul's seminary. Merriam Park,
appears i'll the May number of the Cath
Ollie World. The noted scientist belongs
to the alumni of John Hopkins univer-
slty. where his student career was I'M
usually brilliant. He is Minnesota
product both physically and intellect,l-
ally, being born at Mendoza, within
stones throw of Fort Smelling. In his
boyhood days he was considered
stupid by the local pedagogue, but as he
grew up he gave evidence of possessing
mechanical talents of high order and
surprised his parents by fixing thresh-
ing machine which got cut of order. He
was student of nature rather than of
books and SO his teachers took him for
Ounce, as other teachers had taken manv
other boys who afterward achieved cele-
brity in the literary and scientific world.
DR.. Shields has perfected the plethysmo-
graph or thought machine" a wonder
full instrument by which the mental pro-
cess Or the emotional forces are meas
ured with surprising accuracy. He has
been offered chair in the Washington
Catholic university but has declined to
accept it. He may visit Europe and
come in contact with continental scien-
lists. Those who know him expect great
things of DR.. Shields in the future. He
is in the meridian of life, being SO years
Old, though he looks much older.

Love laughs at bigotry. The London
Star announces that Miss Johnston, of
Bally-kilbcg, County Antrim, has not
only abandoned her fathers faith to be-
come Catholic, but is going to wed a
"Papist" with whom she had fallen in
love. We pity the sorrows of poor old
Johnston, the Orange champion, who
had taught his daughter from her very
infancy that Rome was the scarlet wo-
man Of denominations. Perhaps the con-
verted daughter may lead her mistaken
sire into the true fold. Stranger things
have happened.

AT the famous battle of MANILA where
Admiral Dewey knocked the Spanish
fleet into cooked hat it is reported that
he encountered the licrcest opposition
from the ship commanded by patrlcio
Montjoy fatlras. which boldly approach
ed the American fleet and fought gal
lantly to the last. Judging from the
name of the Spanish officer he is prob
ably the descendant of an Irish refugee
who sought shelter from British oppres-
sion in the land of the Dons in the Sey-
enteenth century. He displayed the
courage characteristic of the race from
which he sprung and showed no fear
when lacing certain destruction from
Yankee sunners, some of them more
Irish than himself.

Italy, "tie garden of Europe" is in a
terrible plight. King Humbert made a
fatal mistake. when through his ambi-

the triple alliance. His subjects are
heavily taxed to support military estab-

discomfort and poverty in the recent
bread riots. Italy is steadily losing in
population as we'll as in wealth, and if

In locking over the roster of the

1t must never be forgotten by the
readers of the Irish Standard that the
telegraphic dispatches which come 10
this country via the Atlantic cable con-
corning the attitude Of Germany, France
and Russia on the Spanish-American
war, are chiefly through British sources.
At this time England is confronted by
these great European powers and is
earnestly longing for Anglo American
alliance to defend herself against their
encroachments on her Asiatic and Afri-
can possessions. Britishers have no
more scruples in lying about the Ger
mans, Russians and French than in w.
ing about the Irish. Britain has no ally
among the nations and stands complete
ly isolated at this time. Her agents are
trying to make Americans believe that
England has prevented concert CT the
nations against the United States in this
war, but don't believe word of it.

GLADSTONE Is DEAD.

The great Englishman, William Ewart
Gladstone, has passed away, having died
al his home in Hawarden last Thursday
morning at o'clock. Though his death
was not unexpected. yet the announce
ment OF it has brought sorrow to thu
people OF the whole world who had adj
mired the grandeur and nobility OF his
character as we'll as his cminence as Il
statesman. Ills countrymen will not
look upon his like again for generations
to come.
He enjoyed long life, having lived
IS years. sixty CT which he spent in the
service of his country. Though he could
have obtained titles of nobility from
royalty he always remained plain Mr..
Gladstone, the great commoner, 10 the
end of his illustrious career.
Gladstone was a many-sided man and
stood without an equal in statesman
Ship and oratory. Justin Mccarthy,
who has listened to the famous parlia-
lnentary orators Of Great Britain, places
him above them ALL Not only that, but
he considers him to have been the SUI
perior of all the leading British statas-
men of the past, including Fox and the
great Earl of Chatham.
Originally Tory. Gladstone became a
Liberal from honest convictions, and it
was through his instrumentality that
the people of the British islands eE;oy
the liberal laws they have today. He
helped to cmancipate the people from
aristocratic traditions and make them
more democratic. 1t is safe to assert
that no statesman among his conLein-
poraries exercised so profound and last
ing an impression upon his age and
country, or effected so many reforms
without revolution.
During the last twenty years of his
life lie was an ardent advocate of Irish
home rule, for which the Irish people at
home and abroad will ever revere his
memory. Some of the greatest speeches
ever heard on justice to Ireland were de-
livcred by the grand old man." and

life he would have passed the home rule
bill against the opposition of the lords.
BIT in 1886 when educating the English
people upon the subject he frankly ad-
mitted that he had not previously en-
deavored to repair the wrongs of Ire
land because he had not studied or COM
pretended them. Once he understood
the grievances of Ireland he made ev-
cry effort to redress them, and the party
Of which he was the leader split in
twain and refused to follow him in Civ
ing lf-government to the Emerald isle
Gladstone meant to give Ireland the
parliament of which she was robbed SO
disgracefully and Oh last st. Patrick's
day he sent a message to the Irish menu
bers of parliament at banquet in Lorl-
don telling them to unite and that their
cause would ultimately triumph. The
Irish people all over the earth are in
profound sorrow over the death Of Mr.
Gladstone, and they are ready to join
his own cOuntrymen in manifestations
OF grief and in paying tributes of affec-
ton to the great statesman and reform
err who was the benefactor of Ireland III
the latter part Of his public life. May
his noble soul rest in peace.
