The foreman of grand jury in the
west of Ireland had been presented for
some public service with gold watch,
of which he was very proud, and as he
displayed it at dinner of the grand
jury, bets were made by members as to
whose watch was most accurate. At
last some one suggested that il was i'm
possible to decide.
"Oh," said the foreman, "there's no
difficulty about that There's sundial
in the garden, and we'll take lantern
and decide the bets that way. "-Ex.

Says the Chicago Inter-Ocean: Evil
minded enemies Of an Anglo-American
alliance will use the Hooley exposures
for the purpose of showing the American
people that the less they have to do with
the aristocratic governments of Europe
the better 1t will be for them. They
will also point to the fact that, while for
the last twenty-five years the moral
trend of the American people has been
upward, the course of those who rule
Britannia has been downward. The
Hooley revelations are inopportune for
those who propose that we form a CO.
partnership with our ancient friend, Mr..
Bull, because the enemies of such
beautiful arrangement will be equipped
with arguments going to show that such
a copartnership. under the present cir
cumstances, would contaminate the ju-
nior member of the firm.

AN lNsIDlOUs MOVEMENT.

A coterie of New York citizens of diff
ferent religious creeds and political af-
fliatiOns have issued confidential cir
cular asking signatures to an address ex-
pressing hearty appreciation OF the re-
cent demonstration of sympathy and
fellowship with this country on The part

that the same language and the same
principles of ordered liberty form Tie

friendship destined to hasten the day OF
peace and good will among all the ma
tions of the earth"
The clandestine circular has acct
dentally fallen into our hands, and we
are astonished to find it signed by such
men as Archbishop Corrigan, Frederick
r. Coudert and Carl Schurz, the repre-
sentatives Of three races opposed to an
Anglo-American alliance. Among the
other prominent signers are Whitclaw

should respond to the cordial express

large proportion Of the leaders of public
opinion in Great Britain"
1t is hardly necessary for the Irish
Standard to say that 1t is entirely op-
posed to this surreptitious method of
acquiring signatures to such docu-
ment for the promotion of an Anglo
American alliance. If the movement is
good thing for America why not advo-
cate it openly instead OF resorting to Sc
cret communications of this character?
When the leaders of English public opin-
ion desire closer relations with this
country it is for sinister purpose, and
1t behooves American patriots to thwart
the scheme. We are glad to perceive
that an organization has started at the
national capital to checkmate English
intrigues in the United States. The or
iginators of the American movement in
Washington have called their organiza-
tton "The League of American Indepen-
dence." Their motto is mo Entangling
Alliances" and William D. Window, son
of the late secretary of the treasury. is
the president of the society. 1t seems to
us that branches of this patriotic organ
ization should be formed in all parts of
the United States in opposition to the
principles of the British Tories of New
York, whose villainous circular is before
us.
This is critical period in the history
of the great republic of the west The
present administration Is intensely pro-
British and desires an alliance with the
only nation of Europe that has been
our enemy when friendship was needed.
1t is the duty of every genuine American
who loves peace to combat any scheme
that may involve his country In Eu-
ropean complications. The Anglo-Amer-
lean element that favors an alliance
with England is a menace to the re-
public. Let every true American be on
the alert and counteract the plottings OF
these secret conspirators, and then all
will be we'll.
