THE IRISH COUNTY ELECTIONS.

Inc DuDun Freeman'S journal OF
April IS gives the complete returns of
the recent elections for local self-gov-
eminent in the thirty-two counties of
ireland, and devotes an editorial to the
result, in which it says:
The Nationalist electors have done
we'll. In the teeth of disorganization
and dissension they bore testimony to
the National creed at the ballot-box.
Here and there Unionist has slipped
through and Home Ruler been de-
feated in what should have been a
Home Rule constituency. But the ex-
ceptions are few and far between. On
the whole, the doctrine OF political apos-
tasy, miscalled federation, has been in
dignantly repudiated by the electors.
The drunken rowdyism which was en-
ployed in the support of certain Union
list candidates makes their defeat the
more hunliliating. We fancy Mr.. Ar
mold Forster will no longer exult in the
House of Commons on the blackguard-
ism of few potboys in Charleville. In
Mayo the triumph of the United Irish
League was absolutely overwhelming.
Other districts, despite the lack of or
ganization, did almost or quite as we'll.
Lord Dunally's four votes in Tippe-
rary division added an element of bur-
lesque to a serious conflict. Killarney
did badly. To the shame of protesting
Nationalist, rowdyism and Unionism
triumphed in the person of Lord Castle
rosse. Lord Dunraven won on Molly
Morgan, the famous mare that trotted,
cantered, and galloped through his
speeches. Lord Monteagle slipped in
in the opening made for him between
two Nationalist competitors. Lord
Frederick Fitzgerald successfully in
voked the memory of Lord Edward.
The ability and personal popularity of
The OConor Don outweighed the
Unionist principles which during the
contest were kept in the background
and ignored. But such casual incidents
only serve to accentuate the Nationalist
victory.
If the elections prove anything out
side the fixed determination of the Irish
people to hold fast by their Nationalist
principles against all odds and amidst
all difficulties and disappointments, they
show conclusively that the spirit of dis
sension is dead throughout the country,
and that the advocates OF perpetual fac
ton can no longer reckon upon the
sympathy or support of any reputable
body Of patriotic Irishmen.
Dissension has no further existence
amongst the great masses Of the people,
but the raucous war-cries of faction yet
ring in the air in Dublin, and our con-
temporaries across the Channel have
too long been accustomed to look upon
the empty Dragging of few newspapers
in this city as an expression of the feel
ings of section of the Irish nation.
That delusion has been dissipated. The
hollowness of the pretences made by
these organs has been exposed so mer-
cilessly that one could almost pity their
discontinue if their fate was not so
thoroughly we'll deserved.

The Minneapolis Tribune occasionally
expresses the views OF The Irish STAN
dard on the war with the Filipinos. In
an editorial, entitled Long Distance
Patriotism" our esteemed neighbor re-
Dukes the jingoes who are shouting for
the determination OF the Filipinos and
says: Gen. Shafter, who during the en-
tire Cuban campaign, never got within
four miles OF battlefield, is fair ex-
ample of these valiant long-distance he
roes. "Kill half the Filipinos and civil
ize the other half" is his latest chival-
rous and defiant utterance. These bold
and loud war-shouters who have not the
remotest idea OF risking their own pre-
cious lives or those of their nearest reIa-
tives in camp or field, remind one of
Artemus Ward, who at the time of our
civil war, declared himself patriot who
had reached such heights OF self-devo-
ton that he was willing to sacrifice for
his country all Of his wife's relations.

A Kansas jayhawker named Col.
Fred Funston writes from Manila say
ing that the Filipinos are lot of saw
ages who are waging war against can
glo-Saxon order and decency." What
that is cam be learned from the follow
ing information given by Washington
volunteer in a letter to the Spokane
Review of March 20. Among other
things he says: "We burned hundreds
of houses and looted hundreds more.
Some OF the boys made good hauls of
jewelry and clothing. Nearly every
man has at least two suits of clothing,
and our quarters are furnished in style,
fine beds, with silken draperies, mirrors,
chairs, rockers, cushions, pianos, hang
ing lamps, rugs, pictures, etc. We have
horses and carriages and bull carts ga
lore, and enough furniture and other
plumber to load steamer" That is the
"Anglo-Saxon decency" against which
the Filipinos are fighting! The items
of stolen property given by the young
soldier would show that the plundered
Filipinos had considerable refinement
and were far from being savages. "Silk-
en- draperies, mirrors, rockers, cushions,
pianos, and hanging lamps" are never
found in the homes OF the American In
dams after 27o years Of AngloSaxon
civilization.

CAPACITY OF THE Fn1P1NOS.

Much has been said both pro and
con of the capability of the natives of
the Philippine Islands for self-rule.
Hon. Loren Fletcher who, by the grace
OF the Republicans of this district, is a
member of congress for four consecu-
tive terms, thinks the Filipinos totally
incompetent for self-government, but
his opinion is of no more value than
that of any ordinary citizen who reads
the organs of the Mckinley administra-
ton and upholds its foreign policy
whether it is right or wrong.
General Reeve, of the Thirteenth
Minnesota, who has returned home
from Manila, is better authority than
Loren Fletcher on the subject. In his
interview in the Journal he says that he
considers them fully capable of looking
after their own local affairs, though he
does not think them capable of national
self-government. He says that Aguin-
aldo himself told him that he did not
think his countrymen knew enough
about conducting international relations
and thought of only establishing gov
eminent under American protection.
He regards Aguinaldo as very able
man and does not believe him a puppet
in the hands of ADLER natives. He says
that 90 per cent of the Tagalos can read
and write, and that they are very quick
to initiate the Americans. General
Reeve tells piece of news which shows
the lack of diplomacy exhibited by Otis,
and which that administration pet gene
raj kept from publicity.
Con Sunday, Feb. S, the day after the
fighting began" says General Reeve,
General Torres of the insurgents came
through our lines under a flag of truce
and had a personal interview with Gene
raj Otis, in which, speaking for Aguin-
aldo, he declared that the fighting had
been begun accidentally and was not
authorized by Aguinaldo, that Aguin-
aldo wished to have it stopped, and that
to bring about conclusion of hostilities

to shoulder with England. We under
stand each other, we speak a common
language, we have common interests,
and we know that nowhere else in the
world can we find such stanch ally.
Our possession OF the Philippines and
our interests in China make us one of
the great figures of the situation, and
believe that we must prepare to meet
our responsibility. Combined with
Great Britain, and probably with Japan,
VIC can TRANQUILITY await the bursting of
the tempest"
The hospitality extended to the con-
quering hero and his men by the Eng
fish colonists OF the East has completely
fascinated this loquacious sea-dog. The
English knew how to captivate him.
They wined and they dined him into an
Anglomaniac OF the most rampant and
offensive type. 1t is about time to muz-
zle his mouth and to exercise censorship
over his pen. He is a braying donkey
who deserves censure from the naval
authorities.

Captain Coghlan, of the Raleigh may
be brave man in action, but he is des-
titute of good sense on shore when try
ing to make speech at banquets where
the wine cup passes around. At a social
meeting of the Union League club in
New York he spoke quite dsrespect-
fully OF the Germans and repeated his
remarks with emphasis at reception
given to him by the Army and Navy
club. At the Union League dinner he
recited some verses entitled "Hoch der
Kaiser" in ridicule OF Emperor William
OF Germany. His foolish utterances have
attracted international attention and
there is some talk Of furnishing him for
his indiscretion. He ought to be sent
to sea at once and be made to take and
keep temperance pledge. A German
paper in Berlin calls him an "Irishman"
and reflects on the race to which he is
said to belong. Coghlan must be an
Anglo-Irishman if Irish at all, and that
is worse than an Anglo-Saxon.
