IMPERIALISM.
teacher

The question of Imperialism is at
the present time being widely dis
cussed, and, we regret to say, fa-
vored by many journals whom we
had expected to be on the side of
the people. In an article in the
New York Journal William Jen-
nings Bryan gives expression to
views that none of the local papers
would publish, ard from which we
make extracts which should receive
the careful consideration of our
readers. Among other things he
tells that John Morley, the English
statesman, i'll recent speech to his
constituents, uttered a warning
which may we'll be considered by
our people. He said: Imperialism
brings with it militarism, and must
bring with it militarism. - Mill
tarism means gigantic expendi-
ture, daily growing; it means an in

MAKES IT BRIGHT.
The News Has Secured an
Able Man For Its Tele-
graph Editor.

Bernard P. ]. Kavanagh now occupies
the position of telegraph editor on the
News. Mr.. Kavanagh is we'll known as
a newspaper man in Louisville, where he
has done every class of newsgathering
from district work to politics during the
past eight years. His first work was on
the Commercial. After several years
service with that paper he went to the
Dispatch and about year ago to the
Courier Journal.
The position of telegraph editor is
a responsible one, as it is to this editor
comes all of the news outside of the city
He is supposed to CLEAN what is most in
teresting and readable and to headline il
in manner at once attractive and pleas.
ing. Mr.. Kavanagh held similar posi-
ton on the Commercial two years, SC

Besides that he is an Irish-American with
the accent on the Irish.

crease in government of the power
of aristocratic and privileged classes.
Militarism means the profusion of
the taxpayers money everywhere
except in the taxpayers own home,
and militarism must mean war. I"
"And you must be much less we'll
read in history than 1 take the
Liberals of Scotland to be if you do
not know that it is not war, that
hateful demon of war, but
white winged peace that has
been the nurse and guardian of
freedom and justice and well-being
over that great army of toilers upon
whose labor, upon whose privations,
upon whose hardships, after all, the
greatness and the strength of EN-
pires and of states are founded and
are built up"
Militarism is so necessary a COM
panion of Imperialism that the
President asks for a 200 per cent.
increase in the standing army,
even before the people at large have
passed upon the question of annex
alton.
Morley says that Imperialism
gives to the aristocracy and to the
privileged classes an increased infu-
ence in government. Do we need
to increase their influence in our
government?
Surely they are potent enough
already. He calls attention to the
fact that the toiler finds his hope in
peaceful progress rather than in
wars uncertainties. Is it strange
that the laboring classes are protest
ing against both imperialism and
militarisn? Is it possible that their
protest will be in vain3 Imperial
ism has been described as the white
mans burden" but since it brushes
the wealth producer beneath an in
creasing weight of taxes it might,
with more propriety, be called "the
poor mans load"

GOLDSMITH AND THE NEWS.

The News has come to stay il
appears. 1t was really journal of
premature birth, forced into the
world before its time, but it had its
eye teeth cut when it did come. 1t
showed that much from its first APP
pearance, and then Mr.. Solomon
M. Goldsmith, who is its sponsor as
it were, is seeing to it that the
child thrives and prospers if he has it
in his power to make it thrive and
prosper.
Mr.. Goldsmith is genial little
gentleman, who has an eye for
business, and he knows what the
public wants. He wants to make
his paper a business success. He
knows the only way he can do that
is to make it a successful advertis-
ing medium, and he knows that
the best way to do that is to make
it cheap and readable, to give the
news and nothing but the news.
He has surrounded himself by a
capable staff of news gatherers,
men who have worked for years in
the local newspaper field and who
know news item when they see
it, and know how to handle it in
newspaper style.
Mr.. Goldsmith says he does not
intend to make his paper sensa-
tional, but intends to publish any
thing that is permitted to happen.
That is just what the public wants.
He does not intend to enter into
any fight between rival editors, be-
cause he does not believe the pub
lie cares whether one editor likes
the editor of a rival paper or
whether the editors are all at dag
gers ends. He wants toimake the
News success. That is all he
cares about.

that they have done for that coun-
try in the continued support of the
Irish members.
So said John Morley, i'll recent
important address to his constitu-
ents at Montrose, Scotland. How
often since 1892, he asked, has the
Liberal party had a majority with
out the Irish? Was It not the Irish
who helped the Liberals pass the
English and the Scotch parish
councils act, and gave them three
years of Office and power and emol-
uments and decorations?
These are embarrassing questions
for ungrateful politicians, but Mr..
Morley puts still another. What
did the Irish get for these three
years of devotion? Nothing, he
answers, but three years of what
he calls three years of "considerate
administration"
In regard to the assertion that
English people will not deal further
with the Irish question until the
present scheme of self-government
has been thoroughly tried Mr.. Nor
ley takes strong if novel position.
When had Ireland ever asked Eng
land for local self-government? She
had always asked for home rule.
The Liberal party always said she
ought to have it. England denied
her demand and gave her instead
what she had not demanded.
1t was a great mistake, for now
the Irish are sure to use a machin-
cry for which they did not ask as a
means to further home rule for
which they did ashland can the
Liberals honorably refuse to help
them press their demand? As far
as the Irish question is concerned,
Mr.. Morley declares, and all right
minded people will agree with him,
that the path of party safety for
the English Liberals is the path of
party honor.
Mr.. Morley has always been a
true friend to Ireland, and never
was his friendship SO opportune as
at this present crucial hour in Irish
affairs, says the Boston Pilot.

PASSION PLAY PICTURES.

There will be a cineuatograph exhi-
bition consisting of movable pictures of
the famous Passion Play at St. Louis
Rertrand's church Monday evening.
The following is a brief history of the
origin of the passion play:
In the old parish records of ODER
Ammergau one reads, "Anno 1851, on
account of the long Swedish war, is
there much fever and hot headache
among the Bavarians and jewellers in
Swadia, and daily do men die" "Anno
1858, the pest increases so fearfully that
in the parish of Kohlgrub (three hours
from here) were there only two couples
left, and man named Caspar Schuch-
Ter, coming here to visit his wife and
child, fell by the roadside and was bur-
led From that day to Senior and Tuda
evening eighty-four people died of the
plague; accordingly eighteen Burgers,
assembling from the village of ODER
Ammergau, vowed that once in ten
years would they present in living pict-
ures the Passion of Jesus Christ. From
that instant the plague ceased, and those
who were i'll instantly recovered"
In addition to the pictures there will
be delightful musical programme.
Price of admission is twenty-five cents,
with reserved seats at thirty-fve cents.
Reserved seats can be obtained at the
Dominican Convent, Sixth and St. Cath

MIKE BURKE
as a Candidate
for Councilman From the
Tenth Ward.

Mr.. Michael Burke has announced
himself as a candidate for Councilman
from the Tenth ward. Mr.. Burke has
resided in the Tenth ward nearly all his
life, and is man than whom there are
none better fitted to shoulder any honors
his constituents may see fit to bestow
upon him. He is a gentleman who is
we'll known by all classes and counts his
friends by legions, and it goes without
saying that the man who beats him will
know that she has been in the race"
His friends are already on the hustle
for him, and say the voters of the Tenth
ward who wish good government in city
affairs will make no mistake by seeing
to it that Mike Burke, as he is Familiarity
known, represents them in the next
Council

Bridget Crotty caused deep and heartfelt
sorrow among the many relatives and
friends of this truly Christian lady. The
deceased resided at 1921 Seventh street,
and although in her fifty-uinth year was
an active worker and always interested
in charitable undertakings, and was a
good friend not only to the unfortunate
of her immediate neighborhood, but of
that part of the city best known as Linn
erick, by whom she will be sadly missed.
Her surviving children have the sympa-
thy of host of friends in their affection.
The funeral was conducted by the Rev.

Well, boys, when I'm alone in the even.
ing
often feel sad, must own,
When you're all away on life's mission,
And l am here, almost alone;
sit by this fireside and ponder,
When the day and its labors are DER,
And 1 think of that home in Old Ireland
Which never shall see any more.
I think of the days ere left there
To come to this strange foreign land,
And an image arises before me
OF our own native tide-beaten strand;
Again can see after nightfall,
By the silvery light of the moon,
Tower up in the gloom of the distance
The castle of Noch-na- gar-oon.
can see if strolling around there
The psehway which led by its side,
On its walls have often sat watching
The ebb and flow of the tide;
Not far to the north is Dunlichee,
Which, according to stories of old,
Had somewhere, not far from its case
ment,
Most wonderful treasures of gold.
have wandered around the old castle
Whose origin no one can tell,
And it seems in its lone situation
Like place where deep mysteries
dwell;
Its walls are corroded and broken,
Its corridors shrouded in gloom,
1t appears when around there at twilight
Like lonely, unfrequented tomb.
There often at eve sat watching,
Der the waves, the old cormorant sail,
The raven, the putin and sea gull
Around it their sorrows bewail.
The sea breezes sigh through the grasses
That grow round its Wondering pile,
AS if signing and sadly lamenting
The fate of the Emerald Isle.
1 remember the mill and the cottage
That stood by the side of the stream,
But the morning left them forever
Seems now like fast-fading dream.
I remember the bob, and beside it
The lawn where at hurley we played,
The beach and steep cliffs of Colleen,
Along which often have strayed.
remember place called Killraten,
The Sundays we spent by the sea.
And the day that myself and Tim Nancy
Got into fight in Kilkee
remember with something like sorrow
The days that spent around there,
And the times that we all went together
To Carrigaholt to the fair.
l remember Kilrush by the Shannon,
The same as of old it appears,
But / now could behold. if once back
there.
The changes of forty long years.
Thus fancy quite often deceives me,
And holds up those scenes to my view,
The pleasures and sports of my boyhood,
The friends and companions knew.
But know that it all now is altered,
My friends and companions are gone,
That home is replaced by another,
Besides which the Shannon rolls on;
And ii l could revisit that island,
That cottage which once ! called home,
There is none who would now recognize
me,
A stranger around there I'd roam.

ANENT THE RAILWAY COr1'
PANY.

The Louisville City Railway Com
pany has done nothing for the
comfort of its patrons, much less,
if the expression can be used, for
its employees. But the employees
have to earn bread and butter some
where, so they must needs work for
the Street Railway Company. Here
is corporation that gets the right
of way over any street or streets in
the city of Louisville for the asking,
while similar corporations have to
pay large sums in other cities for
the same privilege. What has this
railway company done for Louis
vile? Nothing save to sap the
nickels out of the public pocket
Street railway traffic is a great
and growing business. No credit
system goes. You pay your nickel
or you walk, and the employees
take what they can get or else do
without work.
President Minary's success as a
business CD man is owing to his
motto. 1T is not what a man is
worth. 1t is what you can get him
for"
On this motto he made himself
useful as clerk, as Superintend-
ent, as General Manager and Presi-
dent. He has treated Councilmen
and Aldermen in the past in the
same way as the employees he pays
by the day.
Now the Louisville City Rail
way Company promised the public
to put conductors on the cars. They
have carried out the promise on
only two lines.
The company should have the
common decency to protect its men
from the severe cold by having vesti-
bules for the protection of its motor
men, but when such bill was in
troduced in the Legislature the
bill was lost or shuffled or disap-
peared.
But then there are so many
things the Street Railway Company
might do, but does not do, for the
comfort of its patrons that a COM
plete list would grow tiresome.
Another injustice perpetrated up
on the public is that of compelling
one citizen to pay higher fare than
another. Poor boys and girls who
are forced to work in shops and
stores for living are taxed five
cents, while we'll paid school teach
ers and children of wealthy parents
are allowed to ride for half that
sum. If this is not discrimination
what is it The report of the Presi-
dent showing a net earning of $24.-
900 in addition to paying all the
expenses of changing the system
and extending the lines is evidence
that the Louisville Street Railway
Company can we'll afford to carry
working people both morning and
evening for the same price that it
does the fortunate scholar and
teacher.
