Tho New Ballot Law.

All kinds of trouble will be found on
election day next fall when the new
ballot law is In effect for the first time,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Secretary Saunders OF the board OF election
commissioners says that the new ballot law
practically wiped out the Australian ballot in
Missouri, and that this the only state in
the Union to go back, after having once adopted
the modern ballo: system Instead of large
blanket ballot at the fall elections there
will be a separate ticket for each political
party. These tickets will be clamped to
gether at end. and when the voter
goes into the booth he will tear out the ticke.
hs desires to vote and fold ii up He will then
fold up the bunch of discarded tickets When
he goes back to the Judges he hands the single
ticket to one judge, who casts 1t into the ballo,
box. He hands the bunch of tickets to another
judge, who places them in another box BY
this plan two ballot boxes will be required at
each polling place. The secrecy OF the ballot
will be lost In many cases. as the voter will
not care to go through the process Of tear
Ing of his ticket, and he will simply ask the
judges TO hand him the party ticket he wants to
vote

Report by the steamer wuet.n.

HoNa KoNs, July 21.-The German
steamer Wuetan, at this port from
Cavite, reports that the United States
transport China, with American REIN
forcements for Admiral Dewey, ar
| rived at Cavite on Saturday last, and
that other transports, the Colon. Sena-
tor and Zealandia, arrived on Sunday.
-Four Deaths En- Route.
There were four deaths on the ships
during the voyage from San Francisco
to Manila Those who died were Lieut..
Lazelle and Private Maddox, Eighteenth
infantry;Sergt. Geddes. First Nebraska,
and Private Wise, member of the Colo
RADIO band.

ships and the men are in excellent
health.
A Grand Reception.
The reception of the troops by Gen
Anderson and Admiral Dewey was
grand to behold. Admiral Dewey stood
on the bridge of the Olympia, and sa-
lutes were fired in honor of the new
arrivals.
The men will be quartcred at Cavite
for the present.
No Advance Yet on Manila.
The Wuetan also brought the news
that no advance had been made by the
American forces. They were awaiting
the coming of Gen. Merritt, who was
expected to reach the place within ten
days.

CONSIDERATION Among the Spaniards.
The news of the destruction of Ad-
niral Cervera's fleet at Santiago was
received at Manila on July II, and
created CONSERVATION among the Span
iardS.
Spaniards Despair of Succcss.
The Spaniards now say they do not
believe the reinforcements promised
them will ever reach here, and they
despair of success. But they condemn
the proposal to retire to the citadel,
which is utterly defenseless, as such a
step will merely invite slaughter.
Therefore, they believe it would be
better to surrender,
Though Fearing Public Censure.
However, they will probably be com
PEELED to surrender soon, as food is
dangerously scarce. They may pre-
tend to fight the Americans for the
sake of appearances, but the result
would not be long in doubt if Admiral
Dewey resolves to capture Manila, even
with the forces he has at his disposal.

WEARING OF THE GREEN.

William Redmond. the obstreperous
member for Clare, was recently removed
by the sergeant-at-arms from the hall
OF tho British House of Commons for
asking impertinent questions in relation
to the punishment inflicted on Edward
Pilkington, an Irish sailor in the Queen $
navy for wearing a shamrock in his
CAP, on board tho warship "Retribution, Z"
on last Patrick's day. The young sailor
was told to remove the triple leaf" as
soon as seen by an officer, and for dis
obeying tho order was sentenced to IA
days in the cells. He was also deprived
OF his gcod-conduct badge for the Of
Tense. The Nationalist papers Of Dublin
consider 1t a tyranny to punish an Irish
man i'll the British navy for wearing the
sprig Of green upon tho national ami
versary. But what business has an Irish
man in tho British service? When a
young Irishman joins the British army
or navy to fight the battles of his coun-
try's oppressor there is something radi-
cally wrong about him. and no SYM
pathy should be wasted upon him when

Alfred Austin tho British poet laur-
cate. will not hasten an Anglo-Ameri-
can alliance by such lines as these:
What is tho voice hear
On tho wind Of the Western sea?
Sentinel! Listen from out Cape Clear,
And say what the voice may be.
otis proud free people calling aloud
To a people proud and free.
and it says to them: 'Kinsmen. hail!
We severed have been too long.
Now let us have done with worn out
tale,
The tale of an ancient wrong;
And let our friendship last long as
love doth last, and be stronger
than death is strong"
The following response to the "pone''
appears in Dublin paper:
What is the voice 1 hear
On tho wind of the Eastern sea?
'Tis the forlorn British chanticleer
That crows: loud croweth he,
With E. "splendidly isolated crow,
to the bird OF freedom, free.
And he says to him. Bird, all hail!
Your people great and strong
Won't let the poor British lions tall
Be twisted by Europe's throng.
Then squeak thee with me. great
eagle free. and let your scream

BISHOP OF VANCOUVER.
That I. What Father Christie I. Ma

That Is What Father Christie Is Made
by the Pope.
A dispatch dated Rome, April IA, says
that the Pope has appointed the Rev.
Alexander Christie; rector of St. Steph-
ems church. Minneapolis, to the bish-
opric of Vancouver.
Tho diocese Of which he is appointed
bishop comprises Vancouvers island, in
British Columbia, and the adjacent ISL
ands. The seat is at Victoria, where St,
Andrews cathedral Ia located. It be-
longs to the ecclesiastical province of
Oregon. although in the British pos
sessions, and the bishop is under Arch
bishop Gross. The diocese is rather
small, there being but IA secular priests
and Roman Catholic population of
5000. One of the chief features is the
missionary work among the Indians.
There are II churches, Is missions with
churches and 26 stations in the diocese.

mentioned before for a bishopric no one

away as British Columbia. His many
friends in Minneapolis will be glad to
hear of his promotion. Eight years ago
he came to this city and founded AS
cension parish. Four years ago he was
transferred to St. Stephens parish and
during his pastorate has worked hard
in liquidating the debt on the church. He
is a man of good executive ability,
and his congregation has been charmed
with his pulpit eloquence.
Bishop-elect Christie was born in
Vermont about As years ago, and when
boy his father removed with the
family to Adams county, Wis. After the
war the family came to Minnesota and
settled at Austin, where the future bisn-
OPP attended school. Later he attended
st. Johns College where he received his
classical education. and then left for
Montreal to study for the priesthood.
After his ordination he officiated in Wa
SEGA, subsequently in Austin, from which
no came to Minneapolis in 1890.

England is Britisher to all intents and

England Is a Britisher to all intents and
purposes, and 1t is nothing short OF bun
combe for William Redmond to get into
a wrangle over such trifling matter
as the punishment OF sailor for wear
ing a bit OF shamrock in defiance Of the
rules on board ship. Why should the
shamrock be worn any more than the
rose. the thistle. or the leek by English
men. Scotchmen and Welchmen in the
service Of her majesty?
Every recurring anniversary OF St. Pat
rick's day. some Irish soldier or sailor
in tho British service gets into trouble
for wearing the green. and some Irish
member Of parliament is found to
champion his cause and make a martyr
OF him. The fact Of the matter is that
the soldier Or sailor who is punished for
decorating his cap with the Irish ma
ttonal emblem would BIO punished Just
the same if he wore the rose or the this
tic instead. We think it very cheap
kind OF patriotism for any Irishman in
tho British army or navy to wear the
forbidden sprig On Patrick's Day. He
knows he is violating the rules and is
guilty OF a breach Of discipline When
no is ordered to take it off he should
promptly obey or suffer the conse-
quences. What respect can an English
man have for such an Irishman:
Considering his enlistment in the Brit
ish service. it is very inappropriate for
an lrishman to display tho green when
nc is upholdins the red Instead of
bringing parliament to task for making
1t crime for Irish Hessians to wear the
national emblem of Ireland, William
richmond and his colleagues could be
hotter employed IL: urging the young men
OF the Green Isle to keep out of the
British army and navy altogether. Per-
haps. like the late John Boyle O'Reilly,
some young Irishmen enter the English
army to learn Tho soldiers glorious
trade" and utilize their military knowl-
edge for the purpose OF raising 1.-The
green above tho red" and helping to
mako Ireland q nation, free and grand.
But such patriotic Irshmen do not break
tho rules and regulations for the sake
on getting a cheap notoriety, and they
do not desire tho defense Of such SPEC
facular patriots as tho boy from WEEK
ford. who represents Clare in the Lon
don parliament.

Helena, Mont.

Special to The Irish Standard: I am
proud to say that we have a large
number Of Catholics in this part of
Unclo Sans domain. They are good
Catholics and good citizens. They stand
we'll in the community and are respected
by our separated brethren" In Helena
they have the cathedral and two
other Catholic churces. One of
these is q German Catholic
church. We are proud of our
good bishop, the Rt. Rev. John B.
Brondel. who resides in Helena.
Father Vincent Day, Joseph Blaere and
Cornelius M. AIKEN are the Helena
priests. No where in the land could YOU
find three priests more thought OF, more
kind or obliging than our Helena clergy.
We have an excellent Catholic hospital,
orphans home and House Of the Good
Shepherd in this city, also parochhl
school for boys and another for the girls.
The st. Vincent's academy for young
ladies in this city is superior institu-
ton. Hero all branches are taught.
The system Of education is excellent and
it takes high rank among Professionals as
well as Catholics. We have hall of
our own here-St. Aloysius hall, with a
seating capacity of several hundred.
Now Mr.. Editor, what do you think of
this part Of tho wild and woolly west?"
We have large Catholic, German and
