Says T. D. Sullivan in the Dublin
Nation: The Orangemen OF Belfast
have again been giving expression to
their loyal feelings! Their grand mas
ter, it appears, has forwarded to Lord
Salisbury grand resolution, passed by
the grand lodge at recent grand meet
ing, assuring his lordship OF their grand
approval OF his policy in South Africa.
Lord Salisbury has commended them
for their loyal sentiments; so has Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, to whom they had
sent grand copy of their grand resolu-
ton. But it is remarkable thing that
the loyalty OF those Grand Orangemen,
whenever England gets into tight
place, stops short with passing OF reso-
lutions; they never think OF going out
and fighting for her. Their military ar
dor is satisfied with the throwing OF
grand paving stones at the heads of
Belfast Catholics, varied by an occas-
ional fusilade at the police. They and
their loyalty constitute simply Grand
Humbug.

THE BoERS AND THE BRITISH.

A noble Christian gentleman and ma
tive American who can trace his lineage
to the patriots OF the Revolution, Mr..
Myron w. Cole OF ST. Paul, recently ad-
dressed to the Pioneer Press letter of
remonstrance against the course OF that
journal in disappearing the cause OF
the Transvaal republic. The letter was
published and elected comments of
pettifogging and disingenuous character
from the British-American who moulds
public opinion in its columns. The
comments aforesaid were written by
a descendant of one of the Tories
OF the American Revolution, who
expatriated themselves in large
numbers to Nova Scotia rather
take TIP arms against George III.
A gentleman of Saltwater, who is skilled
in genealogical lore, has traced up the
family record Of the editor-in-chief Of

asserts that his progenitors left New
Hampshire suddenly in "the days that

Scotia in safety at a loss of the confsca-
ton of their property in the colony.

pressed it for the benefit OF the admins
tiation. The gallant young soldier paid
fine tribute to the character OF the
Filipinos and declared that the Ameri-
can volunteers would never have en-
listed had they known they were to be
used in shooting down the most pro-
gressive, intelligent and liberty-loving
people of the Orient who had estab-
lished a Republican form OF govern
ment before Dewey ever entered
Manila bay and destroyed the Spanish
fleet.
At the conclusion OF Lieutenant
Tew's address letter from Rev. J. NJ.
Cleary was read in which he regretted
his absence from the meeting and ex-
pressed sympathy with the movement in
which the Anti-Imperialist League was
engaged His letter appears elsewhere
i'll this issue.
The great speech OF the evening was
made by Howard L. Smith, OF Chicago,
who in his opening sentences referred
to the famous expression of Governor
Lind in the presence OF President Nc
klnley in this city, when he said the
American volunteer was unfit for wars
OF conquest because che carried a con-
science as well as gum" The audience
shouted vociferously for Governor Lind
to take the platform and he finally did
so amid tutnultuous applause The ad-
mirers of the governor gave him mag
nifcent ovation, to which he responded
in few words, saying that he approved
of what had been said by all the speak
ers.
The resolutions offered by Rev. Dr..
S. w. Sample were unanimously adopt
ed, not dissenting voice being heard.
The fifth resolution read as fol-
lows, and struck "a popular chord:
Resolved, That we heartily indorse and
approve the resolutions OF sympathy
with the Beers introduced in congress
by Senator Mason of Illinois,"
The plutocratic daily papers OF Min
neapolis and St. Paul gave but meagre
reports Of the meeting. The subsidized
sheets want to keep their readers in the
dark, and consider it incumbent on
them to suppress every manifestation OF
popular disapproval OF the Republican
policy of imperialism. The Flour City
organs of conquest and spoliation drew
invidious comparisons between the
meeting of Tuesday night and the i'm
perialist rally held by the Republicans
last summer under the auspices of the
corporations. They had the effrontery
to state that the meeting was insigni6-
cant in numbers, some Of them placing
the attendance as low as 800. The Pho
neer Press was more truthful and made
it 1000. 1t was grand success and is
only the first of series of similar meet
ings to be held in the Northwest.

the possession Of the committee for a
reasonable time and will then demand
that it be reported out so that the senate
may vote on it. Mr.. Mason framed his
resolution in, the language of the para
graph in the Republican platform relat-
ing to Cuba, and wants to place those
on record who decline to indorse it
when applied to the Transvaal republic
which England is trying to grab bv
means OF dum-dum bullets and lyddite
shells. Mr.. Mason pointed out in his
speech that he was following precedent
in expressing sympathy with the Beers,
and recalled Webster's attitude in rela-
ton to Greece, and Monroe's in relation
to the Southern and Central American
republics and other declarations. Ii
William Mckinley had not trampled
upon American traditions by inaugural
ing a war OF conquest in Asia the SEN
ate OF the United States would have en-
pressed sympathy with sister republic
i'll Africa or anywhere elseand passed Mr..
Mason's resolution without the slightest
opposition. The people of the United
States, however, are in favor OF the
resolution no matter what the American
house of plutocrats may do with it.
The citizens of St. Paul and Minneapolis
have placed themselves on record in re-
gard to it and have expressed their ap-
probation of Mr.. Mason's sentiments.

LIBERTY FOR THE FILIPINOS.

A large and enthusiastic meeting OF
the leading citizens OF Minneapolis, IT.
respective OF political affiliations, was
held in the Lyceum theater last Tues
day night to protest against the I'M
American policy OF the administration
in waging a war of conquest in the
Philippines in the interest of syndicates
and trusts. The speakers were Repub-
licans Of the school of Lincoln, and
their vigorous denunciation OF the
abandonment of American principles by
the little Napoleon of Canton were We
hemently applauded. Governor Lind
and other prominent men occupied seats
in the boxes, and it was select gather
ing in every respect. The spirit of patri-
otism was abroad and the American
heart was touched by the earnest and
solemn utterances OF the speakers. H. 7.

are in danger of forgetting the teach
ings of the fathers OF the republic. He
asserted that no people are so good, so
just and SO pure as to maintain their
own liberties while keeping another
people in subjugation.
Rev. Henry M. Simmons, OF the First
Unitarian church, delivered mastery
address, which elected laughter and ap-
plause from all parts OF the auditorium.
In conclusion he submitted five PROPOSE
tons regarding the duty of the Ameri-
can government to the ill-treated in
habitants OF the Philippines, the last OF
which was as follows: I'm the interest
of religion, keep week OF national
humiliation and penance for having
tried to cover this satanic destruction
and slaughter with the sacred names OF
Providence and Christianity"
Lieutenant Martin E. Tew. OF the
Minnesota volunteers, who acted as war
correspondent OF the Minneapolis
Times, fatty contradicted and convinc-
ingly reiuted the statements regarding
the Philippine leaders made by Emperor
Mckinley in his recent message to con-
gress. He proved beyond shadow OF
doubt that the president misstated and
misrepresented the attitude of Aguin-
aldo and his compatriots, and the proof
submitted was so strong that the pluto
The Irish standard., 1899-12-16

Senator John T. Morgan, of Alabama,
talks of the superiority OF Anglo
Saxon blood, and approves OF McKin-
ley's criminal aggression" in the Phil
ippines. Morgan, like Mckinley, is a
degenerate Celt. We believe he is a
descendant OF General Morgan OF revo-
lutionary fame, brave Irishman who
inflicted heavy blows on the British in
the war for independence. Morgan said
in recent joint debate: 81 favor taking

equality with yourselves and myself.
AM not satisfied or content, nor will l

This Southern Democrat who would
disfranchise the negro is an unrepentant
