REPUBLICANS GREATLY ALARMED.

try are beginning to feel alarmed at the
unpopularity OF McKinley's war of con-
quest in the Philippines. They already
see the handwriting on the wall and real
ize with fear and trembling that the plu-
tocratic party which is criminally re-
sponsble for the merciless slaughter OF
the ex-Spanisf subjects will be en-
phatlcally condemned by liberty-lov-
ing people on the ides of November.
1900. In an interview in New York the
other day, Archbishop Ireland, the po-
litical prelate of St. Paul, gave it as his
opinion that the war OF Imperialism in
the Orient should be brought to a
speedy termination. Senator Burrows,
OF Michigan, said the same thing few
days ago in Washington. He declared
that if the war in the Philippines is in
progress next year the outlook for Re-
publican success will be uncertain. In
the course OF conversation the Republi-
can statesman said: "If l could have
had my way, we would have simply
taken coaling station or base OF sup
plies in the Island of Luzon; we would
not have paid a penny to Spain, and we
would have our foothold in the east
without the sacrifice OF life and money"
The Michigan senator is evidently no
Anglomaniac as is Senator Davis. Of
Minnesota, for further along in the re-
ported interview he says: II believe
that England, now apparently friendly,
will strike at us the moment we cross
her threshold" Had the Paris peace
commissioners been of his way OF think
ing there would have been no war with
Aguinaldo and his followers. But in an
evil day they listened to the hypocritical
statesmen of England who urged them
on step by step until Spain was COM
PEELED by bulldozing threats to cede the
Philippine archipelago to the United
States. Now, this country is at the
commencement of its troubles unless
justice is done even at the eleventh
hour, to the brave natives who are will
ing to die that their islands may be free
from foreign domination. The uphold
ers of the Mckinley policy of "benevo-
lent assimilation" say it would be humil-
-iating for this powerful republic Of
seventy-fve million people to discon-
tinue the war until the insurgents are
completely whipped. They seem to for
get the words of Shakespeare that a
giant should not use his strength tyran-
nously on feeble foe Nobody doubts
the ability of the United States to sup
press the Instruction; but it is unbe-
coming in the sight of mankind for the
republic Of Washington to act the part Of
bully with the little brown men of the
East, the very first of Asiatics to adopt
our form of government. Were the
United States engaged in a just war
with nation OF its own strength, the
Mckinley administration would have
the support of the Irish Standard as it
had in the Spanish-American war; But
the war in the Philippines is unjustifi-
able, and we shall be greatly surprised if
Mckinley and his buccaneers are not
taught lesson they will never forget
when the question is submitted to the
people for their verdict. -.

his sister, Mrs. Peter Ellefson, Leeds
township, at o'clock Sunday morning
of last week, OF catarrh of the stomach.
The deceased was born at GAINESVILLE,
Mimi, on July II, 1873, and came to
this county with his parents when a
child. A little more than year ago he
was sturdy fellow OF nearly two hun-
dred weight and the picture of health.
His father, one sister and two brothers
survive him. The funeral was held at
the Catholic church in Iona and was
largely attended. The remains were laid
to rest beside those of his mother and
grandfather. His parents had been pio-
neers in the vicinity OF WATERFOWL, Wis.
Lanesboro, Minn-The sad announce
ment of the death of Miss Mary NOLAN,
which sorrowful event took place Mon
day afternoon of last week, at the home
of her uncle, Mr.. Cady Hayes, came as
painful shock to the many friends of
herself and bereaved relatives. Deceased
had long been a patient sufferer from
consumption, and realizing the inevita-
Bile, awaited the dawn of new life with
Christian fortitude. She had resided with
her uncle and aunt here for two or more
years and added greatly to their social
enjoyments by her presence. The funeral
took place at the Catholic church here at
10 O'Clock Wednesday forenoon, and
the remains were conveyed to Rushford,
the home of her grief-stricken parents,
for interment.
Morris, Minn.-Friday evening, July
81, just as William Casey and a party of
friends were leaving Dennis Hennessy's
on their return to town, it was discov-
cred that the reins were disarranged or
entangled, for the horses could not be
guided or controlled: Mr.. Casey jumped
from the wagon, in order to catch the
horses by the bits so as to prevent them
from running away or upsetting the rig,
but in so doing he slipped and fell in
such manner as to break the bones in
the ankle. The injury is severe and will
prevent him from using his foot for
some time, the point of fracture being in
the joint bones.
Wabasha, Minn.-On Thursday even
ing, July 20, Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald, wife
of Garrett Fitzgerald, ST., passed away
at the family residence, in the town OF
Watopa, in the 47th year OF her age. For
long and weary months she patiently
suffered all the pangs and pains of rheu-
matte affection, finally yielding to an
affection Of the heart. Deceased, whose
maiden name was Mary Harvey, was
married to Garrett Fitzgerald, ST., about
nineteen years ago. In every walk of
life she showed herself true Christian
woman. She excelled both as wife and
mother, and her kindly ministrations
wherever trouble, sorrow or sickness
was to be found will be kindly recalled
in hundreds of instances. She was ever
hopeful, reliant and cheerful and when
the end approached she met it bravely
and resignedly. She is survived by her
MOTHER Mrs. William Fitzgerald, of
by her husband, Garrett
ST., and by ten children.

Maryland and SchIey.

As the autumn leaves begin to fall, so
also begin to fall the hopes of the Repub-
lican party in Maryland. Administration
papers of the straightest sect already pro-
nounce the issue in November doubtful,
and there are other evidences that, even
at the White House and Hanna's quarters,
the State has been nearly given up as hops
less
One of the strong indications of this
opinion is seen in the determined way
IN which the Navigation Bureau conspir-
acy against the victor of Santiago is
permitted to continue its persecution of
Rear Admiral Schley in the interest of
Sampson. While Republican prospects in
Maryland appeared reasonably good, there
was scme inclination TO make much of the
former. at least until the political danger
should be past But, it no sooner became
apparent that the old Commonwealth was
certain to be captured by the Democracy
than Schley was ordered to South Ameri an
waters, in accordance with the original
plan TO keep him as far away from the
country as possible. during the next ses-
sion of Congress.
II any hope of success in Maryland had
fingered in the Administration mind, this
added act of injustice to brave and con-
quering commander, and CT insult to the
service and the people, would at least have
been deferred until after the election AS

II is hard TO believe that any President

We are prepared TO admit that his position

Sampson in some way established mys-
tericus pull in the Navy Department
through his connection with the Maine
Court Of Enquiry. That might be diff
cult thing to ignore Il is positively known
that he earned the gratitude of certain
people connected with the scandaious pur-
chase of the hulk Merrimae by sink
ing that rotten swindle. That again pre-
sumes an influence hard for the President
TO get around But even such considera-
tions should not be allowed TO weigh
against stern sense of duty and regard
for the honor Of the Navy. and the de-
cent public opinion of America.

Thousands OF families In New York are
so situated that they cannot keep house
comfortably if all The cooking must be done
in the house. The ideal home, with the

and there is no likelihood that it will ever

Of party renown have been already spoken
of with much enthusiasm by their admir-
ing followers. We refer to Governor Roose-
Welt and Secretary Root The former has
a good place now, and. ordinarily, might
not care to leave ii for the double gilt shelf
in the Senate chamber. But Colonel Roose-
Welt is a man of destiny. IL he thought he
could reach the goal of his ambition most
certainly by stepping into Mr.. Hobart's
shoes than by waiting for possible nomi-
nation in 1904, perhaps he could be induced
to sacrifice his personal preferences for
the good of his country. Mr.. McKinley's
physical condition, cardiac action, com
plexion, state of nerves. and general long
evity prospects during the coming months
may exercise good deal of influence on
the Roosevelt candidature before the ma
tional convention, as well as upon those Of
some other aspirants.
Mr.. Root is spoken of tentatively. II
he should manage to suppress the insur-
rection in Luzon in time. and in spite of
the remainder of the Administration and
its outside control, he may be considered
not only available, but many viii think him
TOO good a man for a trailer. His chances
are in the cave of time, and just now that
cave is filled with horrid things which
viii have 10 come out first and be exter-
minated Otis, DENLY, the Manila con-
tractors smuggiers, pirates. and SO on. are
among the occupants of the hole TO date.
Taking one consideration with another,
we are inclined TO prophesy that Roosevelt
win weaken. and that the boom of Root will
be damaged by the Manila syndicate scan
dals. We hope not, but it looks that way
now. Who, then, of great wealth and COM
manding power in the party, is there to ac-
cept the honors of the Vice Presidency?
Mr. Hanna would not do, for reasons which,
while sufficient, need not be offered at this
time. Eagan is still in the Army, although
under suspension of rank, but not of pay.
and, hence, ineligible. Mr.. Hay would
scorn the action. and dear Mr.. Dick has
hardly the means TO pay such heavy bill
of freight To whom can our esteemed an

BENTHEIM's STORY DENIED.
