bowed and scraped in the Sultana' S
presence and assured her through an in
tcrprcter that the faded habiliments OF
her darling second husband would be
carefully preserved by him as me-

away in triumph to Manila. What he
will do with them is matter OF specu-
lation. With the permission of Gen.
Otis he may cable them to Mckinley
to appear in them when he again swings

Ills majesty as short and fat, with a
much lighter complexion than the ordi-

boyish countenancc, with eyes that open
like saucers whenever he is astonished,

was not a particle more astonished than

Celtic hospitality by Mcdonnell, who
had no suspicion OF their errand; they
supped at his table, slept under his
roof, and at dawn they arose and MUIR
dered man, woman and child that in

beheld such piece of hellish atrocity.
The brigands OF Marathon, who cut off
captives' ears and noses in order to get
their relatives to hasten on with ransom,
are models OF clemency as compared
with the murderers whom England
hires at times to carry out her awful
mission, which in horrible facetiousness
she calls civilization" And to-day in
Africa the Highlanders, whose lith and
kin were so barbarcusly massacred in
the Glen of Scotland, are shedding their
blood in the cause of British rapacity.
What difference between these degen-
crates and the "Scots who with Wal

fury and half the home OF the Conollys,
famous Irish parliamentary family, and
has been for the last five years rented
as his permanent residence by Sir Pc

Castletown, which is one OF the most
magnificent private residences in the
United Kingdom, is built in the Italian
style, and is practically replica OF
Carton, the country residence of the
Duke OF Leinster, which is within easy
distance. Castletown and Carton were
both the work OF the same architect,

Their wives were daughters OF the Duke
OF Richmond and aunts OF Charles

recent utterances of President McKin-
ley do not certainly indicate any read
mess on its part to do so.

Referring to the first battle in the
South African war between Boer and
Briton at Glencoe, the Philadelphia
Standard and Times says: Glencoe is
the synonym for trcachery deeper than
any ever laid at the door OF the lurking
Indian in his war-paint. 1t is the SYN
onym of generous hospitality repaid by
murder-of the pitiless slaughter OF
grandsire, n1atron, maid and babe in re-
turn for unsuspecting kindness-by the
relocated assassins whom England
hires to do the sinister work which her
historians call civilization. The mas
sacre OF Glencoe is one OF the foulest
crimes that stains the page of history.
William of Orange sent his troops into
the detile OF Glencoe deliberately to
massacre the clan of Ian Mcdonnell,
because the Master OF Stair, the present
Duke of Argyll's ancestor, told him
that the clan were incorrigible and
ought to be hanged, each of them, as
high as Gilderoy. The troops went to

it a labor of love to defend the church

it labor OF love to defend the church
from the attacks of the ignorant and
bigoted in both press and pulpit.
The Tribune declares that "Aguinaldo
revolted simply and solely because this
country guaranteed the rights OF the
religious bodies, and his own talk shows
this to be So" This is new information
to us. In his talk with Gen. McC.
Reeve, of the Thirteenth Minnesota,
Aguinaldo said the Filipinos received
their religious training from the friars
and that they would always remain
Catholics, but that other religious de-
nominations would be accorded equal
liberty with the Catholic church. He
did not say that his first act on gain
ing independence would be TO expel the
religious orders. The Manila Freedom
in an article on "Frecmasonry in the
Philippines" in its issue OF July 4, 1899,
says that when Aguinaldo was sub
governor OF Cavitc Viejo in 1896 he
ordered Andres Bonifacio, the founder
OF the Katipunans, to be shot at Mac,
because he did not approve OF his blood
thirsty methods against the Spanish
friars and foreigners in general. With
his death the K K. K, which had a
membership OF 10000. ceased to exist.
DO we understand" asks the Trib-
unc, "that the Irish Standard is in favor
OF leaving the islands to Aguinaldo,
providing that it understands that his
first act would be to expel the religious
orders? Will the Irish Standard an
swer the question:" We do not under
stand that Aguinaldo intends to do any
thing OF the kind, and if the Tribune
has any proof to that effect, from an
authoritative source, let it trot it out.
We care not fig for Aguinaldo any
more than the Tribune does. He was
all right as an ally and styled chs ex-
cellency" by the American commander
prior to his ''revolt" He sent ambas-
sailors to Washington to know what the
United States intended to do after the
surrender OF the Spaniards, but they
were spurned with contempt by the
administration and forced to flee the
country to escape arrest as spies. Agui-
naldo did rot "revolt" because OF the
iriars, but because OF the proclamation
which called for unconditional surrender
after he was given to understand by
Consul Wildman and others that the
Americans had come to liberate the
Filipinos from Spanish domination as
they had freed the Cubans.
According to Funston and others,
Aguinaldo is not ''thc brains OF the re-
bellion," but is merely the tool OF ADLER
men. Whether he is or not, the Fill
pinos recognize his authority, and rich
and poor stand behind him to fight
"forcible annexation" which Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself declared to be criminal
aggression The question is polit-
ical rather than religious one, and the
Pawtuckct Tribune and other Catholic
contemporaries should be very cautious
in not raising religious issue. Any
man who has arrived at the years OF
discretion ought to know that the war
inaugurated by Mckinley without au-
tllority from Congress is for imperial
conquest and not for the protection OF
the Spanish friars.

THE MIGHTY SULTAN OF SULU.

fills royal nibs, the Sultan OF Sulu,
with whom Gen. Bates has made a
treaty OF alliance beth offensive and de-
fensive, by order Of President Mckin-
ley, is cutting quite a figure i'll the
Ohio and Kentucky campaigns. By the
terms OF the treaty between the Presi-
dents representative and his highncss
OF Jolo, polygamy and slavery are per-
mittcd in the Sulu islands under the
American flag, and the negroes in the
above states are apprehensive OF being
again reduced to the serfdom from
which they were cnarcipated by Abra-
ham Lincoln thirty-hvc years ago.
The Ohio Methodists, McKinley's
own coreligionsts, are up in arms
against his treaty with the Mohamme-
dan monarch and are daily sending him
letters asking him what he means by
giving his Sulu subjects the rights to
buy and sell human beings.
While Rev. James S. Montgomery, a
Methodist minister OF Minneapolis. has
been crying out from his pulpit against
Brigham Young Roberts, OF Utah, and
advising him to take up his abode in an
Indian harcm, under the British flag,
instead Of going to Congress, the Min
ncapols Tribune, a rampant organ OF
Asiatic conquest, has been advising him
to so rs McKinlcy's representative to
the Sulu islands where he can place his
wives in larcm under the protection
OF the American flag. He could then
come to the American congress at
Washington and strap his fingers at
Rev. Mr. Montgomery and men of his
cloth who endorse McKinIcy's policy in
the Orient
The Emperor OF the Philippines has
no cause to feel proud OF the Sultan
oi Sulu. The polygamous rasca! is not
even an nglo-Saxon. His real name
is Hadgi Mollamad Womolol Kiran,
and he is the ruler OF $4,000 slaves and
$4,000 freedmen, who are stepped in
barbaric ignorance and degradation.
According to the treaty or contract be-
tween himself and Our exalted ruler he
has the right to conduct his court and
his domestic affairs with pretty much
the same liberty that he and his noble
ancestors practiced for two centuries
He has twelve wives, four times as
many as the much abused Roberts OIL

port from the United States treasury
the snug sum OF $4,000 Mexican dollar:

Father Malone, OF Denver, COL, edi-

that call this talk OF church desecra-
ton lacks the element of truth" Does
it, indeed? Will he kindly read the let
ter of John S. Mosby, Jr., of his own
city, in this issue OF the Irish Standard?
The young Protestant says that priests
vestments from the Philippines are on
exhibition in the bookstore of Pierce &
Zahn, 633 18TH ST., Denver. Surely, Fir.
Malone does not expect bishopric in
Luzon, like Fir. McKinnon, of the CAL
iiornia regiment. What is his object
then in denying the looting OF Catholic
churches by lot of young American
bigots? Does he want to shield the ad-
ministration? If he does he is under

Nothing is further from my thoughts.

religion for those people, so far as

General Sir Henry Redvers Butler is

Herbert Horace Kitchener, and that is
saying a great deal, considering the
slaughter at Omdurman. Archibald
Forbes, the Scotch war correspondent,

man." General Weyler, the Spanish
butcher, pales into insignifcance beside
the British generals, and yet the Anglo

President Schurman has high opin-
ion of the sultan of Sulu. He declares
that ii the United States did not allow
him all the wives and slaves he wants,
his majesty "would precipitate one of
the bloodiest wars in which this country
has ever been engaged" To avoid any
trouble with the Mohammedan polyga-
mist he is given $4,000 year out OF
the United States treasury, and the
eunuch in his harem is paid $40 month
to keep his wives from fighting among
themselves. A nice treaty of peace,
isn't it?
