quite satisfied to take the Island of
Luzon as "coaling station" and let the
rest of the archipelago take care of itself.
But these opinions are not as yet of a
partizan character, and are not even pro-
nounced or decided enough to draw
lines.
One of the grandest things in this
whole war is the hearty accord, appro-
baton and support given to President
Mckinley by all classes and parties. In
this war there has been no democrat, no
populist, no republican, but all Ameri-
cans. No North. no South, but all for
the Union and for the Stars and Stripes.

DEWEY.

Without doubt Admiral Dewey stands
higher than any other man in summing
up the results of the war. As COM
mander his success has been almost mir
aculous, but this was at least in part ex-
pected Of him. But no other man in
modern years has had so precarious
position as his Manila victory placed him
in.
With his ships and 1,6oOsailo he held
Manila with its 100000 people without
actual occupation for more than month
until reinforcements could reach him.
At the same time he held back large
army of hall. organized, almost halfcivil-
lied Insurgents, using them as assistants,
but preventing them from becoming his
superiors. All this under the guns of a
superior fleet ofGerman warships, whose
commander he had reason to believe
was closely watching any opportunity for
interposing.
The opportunities for catastrophe were
great and in many directions. Dewey
has come through safe. The reinforce
ments have arrived, Manila is taken, the
Germans have sailed away and the in
surgents are under control. These
things are easy because they are done,
but not every good sailor is diplomat,
and Dewey has proven himself as being
of the best of each.

While there appears to be a general
and in some classes very great increase,
yet owing to<the reduction in 'horses of
three years and over" most farmers will
find that the net result will be to reduce
the total of their personal property,
though the rise in lands will probably
make their total assessment about the
same as originally assessed. People who
own the other kinds of personal property
and lands and don't own horses will find
their assessment and consequently their
taxes considerably increased, and they
can probably find sympathizing friends
in the N. P. G. N. and other railroad
victims of state equalization boards.

of St. Patrick's children in the faith, the

about himself, and mans relation
toward his Father in heaven. Christ
did not pledge himself to impart a
knowledge OF every truth, scientific, his
torical, economic, to the inquisitive
mind of man. He did not leave his fol-
lowers orphans, hut commissioned his
church, as his kingdom in the world, to
care for the needs of the human soul.
Through his church. through it only
can man find out with unerring certi-
tude that God has spoken, and the
meaning of his divine word. Jesus Christ
made his church the teacher of all ma
lions. AS the Father had sent him, SO
also he sent his apostles All power
had been given to him on heaven and on
earth, so he commissioned that same
plenary power of teaching and govern
ing, in the moral order, to his church.
For nineteen hundred years this
church of Christ has withstood the
storms of human error, passion and sin.

Christian era, and will continue to teach
them until the judgment day. But the
church cannot teach those who are I'M
willing to learn. Christ himself could
not force his consoling doctrines upon
the perverted minds, and hardened
hearts of the generation of his day. His
church cannot compel the skeptic, who
will not inquire or listen, to believe and
know the transcendant truth and beau-
ty that, as pillar and the ground of
truth, she has in store for the doubling
and troubled soul. Every honest man
can easily learn what God teaches. No
man can blame the church or religion
because he is beset with difficulties Of
faith, while he revels in the decisions
that unbelief has cast about him, and
will not seek the light of divine truth,

the benefit of all. Divine faith is de-
MED to no man who honestly seeks it.

Eighteen years ago he left his home in
Chicago and went West to seek his for

ern country, following first one vocation
and then another, he went to the state of
Washington, then territory. The min
ing excitement was then at it's height.
Mr.. Doyle bought miners kit and
started prospecting. He suffered all the.
privations which Western miners and
prospectCrs were subjected to, until one
day. just as he was about to abandon all
hope of digging his fortune out of the
Washington mountains, he suddenly
made rich strike.
He developed one of the mines which
has made the state famous, and in a
comparatively short time his bank ac-
count represented a million and half

mother and sister in rather poor iinan-

since the day they landed up to the
present moment the country has been in
turmoil and misery.
1t is useless to refer to the persecu-
tons inflicted upon the Irish on account
of the faith impaired to them by St.
Patrick. For ages they were governed
by Draconian laws made by the English
for their degradation. Edmund Bourke
says that nothing approaching these
laws in cruelty ever proceeded from the
perverted ingenuity of man. A Fernch-
man declares that they were inspired
by devils, written in human gore and
registered in hell" DIR. Johnson asserts
that the prosecutions of the Irish in the
reigns of Elizabeth and Anne surpassed
those of the early Christians in the
days of Nero. And yet, despite those
laws the Irish tenaciously held to the
faith of St. Patrick
They lost their property, they became
pariahs for the faith, and the soil of
Ireland was drenched in their blood, and
still they kept the faith of st. Patrick.
Men may say it was easy for them to
escape all their sufferings, and that they
were foolish in relinquishing all the
pleasures and comforts of life by their
stubbornness All they had to do was
to abandon their faith and acknowledge
the kings and queens of England as the
head of the church instead of the Popes
of Rome, who were generally Italians.
But the Irish had principle and con-
science and preferred confscation and
death to a change of faith from Catholic
ism to Professionalism.
Despite the sufferings to which they
were subjected, the Irish have preserv-
ed the religion taught to their fore
fathers fifteen centuries ago by the great
apostle whose anniversary was observed
last Thursday in every civilized land
beneath the sun as we'll as in their love-
ly island home. History does not re-
cord anything like the enthusiasm dis
played by the Irish for their patron
saint. St. George, st. Andrew and other
saints are nowhere near st. Patrick in
popularity.
