THE TRUTH ABOUT IT.

The Denver Times has this to
say Of the democratic carnival at
Dallas and matters connected with
it.
Texas democrats came sufficiently
under the hypnotic influence of
Colonel Bryan TO contribute 500, 600
to the democratic campaign fund.
This was in addition 10 the amount
paid Colonel Bryan for making his
addresses at the Dallas conference.
This story has been going the
rounds Of the press ever since the
carnival. Credence is given to il,
as shown by its wide circulation.
The whole truth is that Mr.. Bryan
did not charge anything for max
inga speech orspeeches. He made
four Of them in the two days he
was at the Dallas fair and not a
cent was paid to him. lie paid
his railroad fare, his hotel bills and
his way into the fair where he
made his speeches. At the dollar
dinner, where about $1,000 was
subscribed for the democratic cam
paign fund, he subscribed 800.
Though Mr.. Bryan is a candidate
for the democratic nomination for
the presidency and he thereby
makes himself a target for partisan
attack, fairness should put an end
to statements such as that publish

BRYAN ON PROSPERITY.

Why they tell US that the dis
coyery of gold in the Klondike will
make money more plentiful, and
the more money there is the better
the times will be. That a plenti-
tude ofmoney makes times better
is true, then why not have bimetal-
lism and that much more money?
II is the quantitiye quality Of
money that makes il potent ia se-
curing prosperity. Suppose it
rains and the fields are freshened,
the ereps are benefited and take on
renewed growth and fructify
abundantly; but farmer goes out
and views the smiling result Of the
rain and says: ~ am opposed to
rain, ! don't want any more at all.
Wouldn't you call him a fool? Yet
the man who admits that a pleth.
o=a Of money makes good times
and yet opposes that plethora, is
no less an idiot than this farmer.
Because large exports Of merchan-
disc aud large imports of foreign
gold give US prosperous times, they
say we don't need bimetallism.
These expectations bring us more
money and this excess Of money
makes the times good, but why
wait for a famine in Europe TO
make a market for our exports to
have prosperous times when bimet.
allism will give us good times all
the time? The republicans are
shouting with glee that they have
expended s20O,OOO,OO0 among the
people during this administration
and say that is an evidence of the
wisdom and goodness and the glory
Of the Mckinley administration.
This 2O0,0OO,OO0 has been ex.
pended in conducting a war, and
they don't tell you Of the bonds
sold to get the money 10 expend,
bonds that the people must pay
They do not tell you Of this draft
upon the future for money to eX
pend and squander in the present.
They forget about the post otits
that the next heirs must pay of
while the present heirs revel and
riot. If "a man builds an addition
to his house and mortgages his
house to pay for it, is he wise 10
point to the addition as an eyi.
dence of his prosperity? Yet the
republicans think to issue and sell
bonds that the people must pay
interest on and finally pay of is
prosperity.-W. J. Bryan.

FATHER MURPHY'S ANNIVERSARY.

Last Sunday at the late mass Rev.
Father Murphy, of st. Mary Magdalene's
celebrated his first anniversary with great
pomp. Won Weber's mass was beauti-
fully rendered by the choir, assisted by
Mrs. Katie Carr Costigan, Miss Ramser,
Mr.. Ramser and Mr.. M. +. Hill; "1nha-
matus" being rendered with telling effect,
Miss Hollenkamp presiding at the organ.
The congregation felt deep pride in
their pastor when he came down from
the altar to the rear of the beautiful edi-
fee, at the Asperges, clothed in new
red cape, which only few moments
before was presented to him by the con-
gregation.
The hearts of his parents would have
filled to overlooking could they have
been present upon this occasion. Father
Murphy, may you live to celebrate many
of these anniversaries is certainly the
wish of those who assisted at your first
anniversary.

LORETTO.
Commencement This Year
Was a Notable One.
Prominent Visitors.

The commencement held at Loretto
Thursday, June 8, was of more than usual
interest. Besides the interesting pro-
gramme rendered, Loretto had as her
guests Monsignor Martinelli, Papal
Delegate to the United States, and
Rev. ]. J.. Dougherty, rector of the
Mission of the Immaculate Virgin, of
New York. Father Dougherty is the
successor of Father Drumgool, who
founded the Mission of the Immaculate
Virgin, home for destitute and home
less boys, and over 700 children are now
inmates of the home. But doubtless
that of most interest, to Loretto, at least,
was the celebration of the diamond jubi-
lee of Sister Generosa. In 1924, eleven
years after the foundation of Loretto,
Sister Generosa was received into the or
der and for seventy-6ve years she has
labored zealously and faithfully for the
cause to which she offered her life. She
saw Loretto in its infancy, when rude log
cabins stood where now magnificent
structures of modern architecture rear
their walls heavenward. Sister Generosa
received from His Holiness, Pope Leo
XIII, the Papal blessing, a privilege
enjoyed by but few. She is possibly
the oldest religious woman today in the
United States.
Each number on the programme was
carefully selected, correctly rendered
and the young ladies merit especial
praise for their successful and conscien-
tious work.
"The Old Order Changeth, an orig
inal drama, composed by the Sisters, was
conceded by the clergy and many others
to be in advance of any previous efforts
in that line in Kentucky.
civilian TELL" violin solo, by Miss
Hollenkamp, of Louisville, was gem
warmly applauded and sincerely appreci-
ated. To Sister NJ. Vitalis belongs much
of the honor of the excellent programme.
The Scarf Drill, in which sixteen girls
participated, showed that no pains had
been spared in instructing them to acquire
grace and symmetry of movement.
There were three graduates, one of
whom Miss Mary Head, is from New
Hope, Nelson county.
The closing address was delivered by
Father Dougherty, after which came
Sister Generosa's diamond jubilee.
St. Mary's College cornet band dis
coursed excellent music at different times
during the day.
Besides Monsignor Martinelli, Rev.
Dougherty and the Right Rev. Abbott
of Gethsemani, numerous other priests
of the diocese were present.

THOMAS ]. CLARKE.
Released Prisoner Candida
Cy For Clerk of the
Rathdown Union.

A public meeting i'll support of Thomas
]. Clarke's candidature for the Clerkship
of the Rathdown Union was held in
Blackjack Town Hall under the auspices
of the Irish National Amnesty Associa-
ton on Friday evening, May 26, with
William Field, member of Parliament, in
the chair. A deputation from the Execu-
tive Committee, including President
Lambert, Miss Maud Come and other
prominent speakers, were present. A
circular was also issued in his behalf by
the officers of the Amnesty Association,
from which we extract the following:
"Our association has been for years
past pledged in many public meetings to
support the policy of providing positions
for released political prisoners whenever
possible. The election of John DAILY as
Mayor of Limerick and of James F.
Egan for the Swordbearership of the
Corporation of Dublin indicated the set
tied determination of the Irish people 10
reward the men who were made to suffer
by the British Government because they
loved Ireland and because they attempt
ed opposition to cruel laws and despotic
administration. AS great national issue
should dominate local and personal con-
siderations, we submit that the good ex-
ample set by Dublin and Limerick cities
can be advantageously followed by the
Rathdown Board of Guardians. The
Rathdown Union is now governed by a
majority elected on an extended fran
chise that would scarcely have been
granted if, in the bitter past and in more
dangerous times than ours, the fight had
not been carried on by men like Thomas
J. Clarke. Our candidate is not dyna-
mitard. He was tried under the treason
felony statute, and is therefore de jure,
a political prisoner. If he had been con-
victed under the explosives act he would
have been released after ten instead of
sixteen years imprisonment. But that
was the cruel fate allotted to a youth of
twenty-five, sentenced on perjured evil
dence and tried at time when the mind
of the British public was in such a state
OF fury and panic that the most notori-
Gus English criminal had better chance
of justice than the most respectable Irish
man accused of 'treason-felony. When
the Parnell Commission, better known as
the Pigott Forgeries Commission, was
proceeding a detective specially inter
viewed Mr.. Clarke and offered him not
only liberty, but government employ
ment, if he would give certain evidence.
He spurned the offer. He was too good
an Irishman to turn informer. Is he not
good enough for the Rathdown Union3
Surely a Nationalist who resisted so ter
rible a temptation, refused so great a
bride and preferred to patiently endure
such long and savage punishment, ought
to be eligible for Office in a union that
Irish Nationalist control. 1t should be
remembered that all the other candidates
have fair means of living. Mr.. Clarke,
having been deprived of his employment
and imprisoned by the British Govern
ment for sixteen years, is in urgent need
of the suitable and permanent position
which it is now in the power of Irish
Nationalist to give him"

The Irish people seem determined
to force their leaders to unite or
give way to others who will. A
resolution started from Limerick,
calling on Dillon, Redmond and
Healy to arrange for a conference
and union of parties on behalf of
Irish nationality or retire from lead
ership, is being adopted by County
and District Councils. The prompt
ness with which it is adopted when
presented leaves no room for doubt
as to the motive and earnestness,
members of all parties, even the
Unionists, favoring it. In addition
to this, town and district meetings
are adopting and forwarding petit
tons of similar nature to their Par
liamentary representatives. The
new regime seems to have opened
the way for the Irish people to
make their wishes known to their
representatives, and they are going
about it in a peaceful, orderly, but
emphatic way that can not be mis-
understood. If the present leaders
can not or will not find a way to
lead a united Ireland, it is clear
that the people mean to find the
way and the leaders. Success to
them.

Congressman Richard p. Bland

Congressman Richard P. Bland
died Thursday morning at his home
in Lebanon, Mo. He may be justly
classed as the original and persist
ent champion of the free coinage of
silver, an able. pure and true man,
who had the respect of all, even his
political opponents.
