Cancer often results from an i'm

generations back. Few people are en-
tirely free from some taint in the blood,
and it is impossible to tell when it will
break out in the form Of dreaded Can
Ger. What has appeared to be a mere
pimple or scratch has developed into

the average of over so. When it is con

THE IRISH WITH WASHINGTON.

We publish today another letter of an
interesting nature from Martin l. J.
Griffin, of Philadelphia, on the Irish in
the American Revolution. He express
eS surprise at escaping Il castigation for
daring to criticise our article on this
subject in his characteristic style. We
assure him that the Irish Standard will
never censure anyone for differing from
1t on points of history. There is but
slight difference between MI Griffin and
the Irish Standard, after all. He does
not deny that the Irish contributed
largely TO Washington's army. and he
quotes Galloway as writing to the earl
of Dartmouth that by far the greater
number arc Irish" AS for the desertion
of some Irish from the ranks and the
formation of Il Catholic regiment, the
Irish Standard is we'll aware of the fact
from other historical sources. Clinton
also raised some Irish troops in New
York for the loyalist cause, but they
were not all Catholics, according to
Bancroft
In reference to the Friendly Sons of
st. Patrick. we said they raised over
half million dollars to succor the army
at Valley Forge. Mr.. Griffin admits that
members Of the society subscribed that
amount but it was two years subse-
uuent to the encampment at Valley
Forge. when Washington's army was at
Morristown. N. j. We agree on the es-
sentials. and year or two makes no
great difference. 1t appears. also, that
there were only 20 members in the Irish
organization instead of u, as printed in
these columns. If there is any glory in
that correction we are willing that Mr..
Griffin can have it. The salient facts
remain the same, and he admits it in
| his two epistles.
| According to Mr.. Griffin. the penn
sylvania Line" was composed of Irish
Fresbyterians. who entered the army
through hatred Of popery. He also adds
that the Revolutionary war was an anti
Catholic movement In reply to the lat.
ter statement. we will merely say that
religious prejudice against Catholics ex-
listed prior to the war, but was of a mod.
itted form during the struggle for indie.

of Omdurman, in which 1t was stated
that the British soldiers went over the
field after the engagement, and deliber-
ately murdered hundreds, if not thous-
ands, of wounded Arabs. And what ex-
cuse was offered for this act of barbar-
ism? The Arabs were not to be trusted,
said these humane Britishs oldiers. They
would kill the Christian doctors, chap
lains, and officers who might ven-
ture to go among them. And SO, as
matter of precaution, they brutally
butchered them where they lay grooming
in agony. And thus does British civili-
cation spread and flourish and impress
itself upon the denizens of the African
said these humane British soldiers. They
them the truths and beauties of the
Christian religion! And the humane
people of the United States are invited
to join hands with their English cou-
sins" in a crusade for the extension Of
anglo Saxon" virtues among the peo-
pies of the East!

The following anecdote of Daniel
OConnell is told by 7. P. O'Connor in
his current article ON The Humors OF
Parliament written for M. A. P:
"a certain member named Thomas
Massey, who had his eye always on the
Pope, brought in bill to obliterate the
Popish afiiX mas or mass and substi-
tute the good old Saxon word tide in
all instances as Christmas and Michael
mas, so that they should read Christ
tide and 'Michael-tide.' respective
ly. O'Connell listened attentively to all
the member had to say in favor of his
scheme, and then got up and said:
Since the honorable gentleman is so
anxious to wipe out the obnoxious mas
from the English vocabulary, why does
he not make commencement by Sax
onizing his own name? In that case he
would be known as Thotide Tidey'"
The tide of laughter that rose all over
the house at this sally fairly over
whelmed the proposer of the measure,
and swept his bill into the breakers
where many of it's equally absurd prede-
cessors were wrecked-on the rocks Of
common sense"

LIND AGAINST EXPANSION,

Hon. John Lind, the reform candidate
for governor of Minnesota. has returned
to his home in New Tim with the 18th
regiment of which he was uuartermas-
ter and will soon he ready for the CAM
palgn In an interview with news
paper correspondent Mr. Lind expressed
his views on the Republican scheme or
territorial expansion. which are in har-
mony with the views set forth in the COL
umns OF the Irish Standard on the sub
]ect. Being asked if he was in favor
OF holding the Philippines and all the
territory conquered by American arms.
Mr.. Lind said:
Il hardly know how to answer that
question in Il way to make my convic-
tons on the subject clear. AS to the
Philippines we have military occupation
of portion. at least, of that domain
now. and cannot escape the Responsible
lily of this state of facts until the terms
of peace and the future OF those islands
Is finally agreed upon. So far as a per-
manent occupation of the islands is con-
cerned, am clear in my own mind tina,
1t would be an unfortunate policy for
the American people to adopt-ont
fraught with danger and possible dis
aster. The occupation of the Phillip
