ingmen in England. The agitation from
the Transvaal is not bona fide. Num-
bers of workmen signed the petition to
the Queen believing it was for compen-
sation for Edgar's widow. The capital
lists position, on the other hand, is the
best in the world. There are two griev-
ances against the Boer government, viz,
the dynamite monopoly and the reli-
gious disabilities. l do not consider
they constitute grievance for war. In
the event OF war, and the consequent
influx OF British subjects back to this
country, will the British government
find them employment half as good or
remunerative as they are receiving in
that country?"
This all took place in Chamberlain's
own city. The inference to be drawn
is that the grievances of the Outland-
ers did not constitute "casus belli,"
They could live in peace and friendship
with the Beers and make more money
than at home 1t was the ambition OF
Cecil Rhodes and the cupidity OF Joseph
Chamberlain that brought about the
present war. They want an African
empire and are ready to drench the
dark continent" in the best blood of
the British Islands to satiate their thirst
for glory and greed. 1t is an unjust
war which, from present indications, will
prove more costly to Great Britain in
blood and money than any other war in
which she has been engaged since
Waterloo. The Queens soldiers will
find foemen worthy OF their steel in the
brave Dutch farmers OF the two African
republics.

THE giving up the lives OF our brave
and best young men wrings my heart"
exclaimed President Mckinley at Mad
ison, Wis. "My heart bleeds for these
dreadful losses; it is great success, but
dearly bought" said the Empress Vic
toria at Windsor Castle. The hearts
of both distinguished rulers may be said
ito beat as one" The empress OF
India and the emperor of Canton may
feel consoied by the reflection that they
are engaged in spreading Anglo-Saxon
civilization by means. of Calling guns
over Asia and Africa. They can bear
their sorrow bravely, for there is no
son nor blood relation of either of them
in the wars now raging for Anglo
Saxon supremacy. The Queens three
sons are safe at home in England, and
Mac and his brother Abner have no
sons to gain glory and fame in the
Orient. Nevertheless, we deeply SYM
pathize with Mr.. Mckinley and Mrs.
Victim in their sad affection.

The Irish Standard knows little his
tory as we'll as Archbishop Chapelle
1t knows that the Catholic bishops OF
Ireland were deceived by British min
listers into giving their acquicscence, if
not their support, to the iniquitous act
Of union between Great Britain and Ire
land in 1900. Archbishop Troy was just
as sagacious man as Archbishop Cha
pelle, and yet the Catholic Church re-
manned in slavery for whole genera
ton after his death until O'Con-
nell by his marvellous genius
and by intimidation succeeded in
obtaining Catholic emancipation from a
reluctant British parliament. Ii Arch
bishop Chapelle succeeds in averting
more bloodshed in the Philippines by
getting the administration to grant SELF
government to the natives under an
American protectorate, all right; but if
he attempts to secure their submission
to American authority by virtue of his
ecclesiastical influence, or by his moral
power as the envoy Of the Pope, with
out guaranteeing them their full rights
as American citizens and not colonists,
history will hold him responsible long
after he is numbered with the dead.
We want no dickering in this country
between church and state, and we be-
lieve that the hierarchy Of the United
States will make gigantic blunder ii
they aid Mr.. Mckinley and the plutoc-
racy in depriving the natives OF the Phil
ippine Islands OF "a government by the
people, for the people and OF the peo-
pie" We cannot believe that for the
sake OF the church they would lend their
influence to fasten the yoke OF slavery
upon people who are struggling to be
free.

This is how the ST. James Gazette
refers to the Irish corps in the Boer
army: IAN Irish-Amer;can fanatic, who
might have come out OF Galway, judg-
ing from his patronymic, but who first
saw the light in Queenstown, Cork, has
been elected to the supreme command
OF an important military unit, number
ing at least 200 uncertifed lunatics OF
Fenian and Clan-na- Gael antecedents.
This powerful reinforcement to Dom
Paul's army will have as its second
leader an ex-Dubiin bank clerk, and
some time New York Fcnian journalist.
Seriously this band OF rebels, under
retired engineer, and another hero who
was once an object OF interest to the
Irish detective police, should receive a
very short shriit, indeed, for it is to
their evil Influence at Pretoria that no
little OF the present state OF affairs is
due"

The second speech OF Teddy Roose-
welt, in the Ohio campaign at Cincin-
natl, last Saturday night, was FLAT, stale
and improbable" In prelude to his
TRADE Of the democracy he bunglingly
answered the questions rropounded by
the Enquirer relative to the canal steals
in New York state. He said the char
ges were ''probed to the bottom" and
there was no justification for the prose
cution OF any public official. Teddy is a
sham reformer who does not believe in
Grants motto: Let no guilty man es-
cape, if it can be avoided"

Referring to the arrival OF the Lord
Mayor OF Dublin in New York to solicit
subscriptions for the Parncll monument,
the Philadelphia Catholic Standard and
Times says: The Lord Mayors claim
upon Irish Nationalist rests solely
upon the fact OF his being spirit dealer,
we believe. The last sounds which he
heard leaving the Irish shores were the
Kisses and groans which greeted his re-
tusal to attend the monster meeting OF
sympathy with the Bocrs just held in
the Irish capital

ornaments. In many cases they we're
not satisfied with theft, but wantonly
destroyed everything they could not
carry. They even dug into the graves
in search OF jewels and gold and l have
seen the floor OF church Uttered with
human bones"
The city editor OF the Minneapolis
Tribune wrote from San Francisco a
month ago saying that priests robes
were common stock with the Minnesota
volunteers. There are fully 100 in the
boxes brought home by the soldiers"
he said, "and any one wishing to pur-
chase one would not have to pay many
dollars" One OF the boys brought nine
vestments, but some OF them were stolen
en- route. We are credibly informed
that the rich vestments OF bishop are
now deposited in a safety vault Of the
Guaranty Loan building in this city and
that the young man who towns" it has
been offered $1,000 for the gold that
decorates them. We have ourselves seen
the bishops robes sent home by DR..
Beck. Under these circumstances we
are forced to believe that Chaplain Nc
kinnon cannot place the entire blame
on the Chinese. The California regi-
ment, Of which Fir. NIcKinnon was
chaplain, was composed entirely Of
Catholics who would not loot or desc
crate, but that other regiments did not
follow their example is to be regretted
but not denied, for the evidence is over
whelmingly strong and convincing
The archbishop and FIR McKinnon are
undoubtedly honest in their denial, but
they are mistaken, nevertheless.

OF Sig. Foil, the famous operate
basso who recently died in England,
the Chicago Tribune says: "He was
OF Irish parentage, his real name being
Allan James Foley. He made his debut
in Italy in 1862, and during the next
two years sang successfully and Sue
cessfully at Turin, Modena, Milan and
Paris. In 1866 he made successful ap-
pearances in London in The Hugue-
nots,' Magic Flute and Der Fret
schultz Foil made many tours during
his operate career through England, on
the continent and in this country, and
was a universal favorite." If young
Foley had taken to the prize ring instead
OF the operate stage and distinguished
himself in the fstic arena, he would be
known to the world as "Jim Foley in
stead of Sig Foil. He preferred to pass
as an Italian instead of an Irishman for
obvious reasons.

There is no confirmation OF the re-
port that the Beers have offered re-
ward OF $4,000 for Cecil Rhodes, dead
or alive. We arc inclined to think that
the report is "a humping English lie, ~
as Father Tom Burke used to say.
There is abundant proof, however, that
Admiral Hewctt offered the same re-
ward for The assassination OF Osman
Dlgna during the war in the Soudan.
The British are in the habit OF charging
Others with crimes committed by them
selves. They can deceive none but the
Anglomaniacs in this country with their
lying reports.

A convict in the penitentiary at Still
water Mimi, named ]. c. Mcbride,
confesses that he has killed five persons.
He gives the interesting information
that his right name is George Bullock,
and that he was born of respectable par
ents. 1t is not the first time that
bloodthirsty criminal has assumed an
Irish name to conceal his identity.
There are many other Bullocks in the
prisons of the land who have given
Irish names to the authorities.

The Boston Pilot is right when it
says: "Mr. Mckinley was wise to go
west when Dewey came east. The con-
trast would have been too striking" 1t
appears that Mckinley does not want
Dewey to go west, as the contrast be-
tween his own reception and that in
store for Dewey would be too striking.
The only rival for the presidency that
Mckinley fears is the hero OF Manila.
We trust that Mark Hanna will sue
coed in nominating Mckinley as his
own successor 1t is more easy for
Bryan to defeat Mac than "Uncle
George"

The constitution OF the Transyaal re-
public is not very broad from religious
standpoint, but it does not discriminate
any more against the Catholic church
than against the Protestant sccts. 1t has
an established church like England, and
its members enjoy more liberty than
those of other denominations. Paul
Kruger is personally friendly to Roman
Catholics and has encouraged the Sis
tiers to found houses at Pretoria and
Johannesburg. If we believe the Anglo
American press, Paul Kruger is the very
incarnation of Dutch bigotry, but he is
grossly misreprescnted.

Says the Kentucky Irish American:
There is an Irish corps OF $50 in the
Boer army, despite the denial from
London. This corps is part OF the army
which last week crossed into Natal by
way Of Laings Mex, captured Newcastle
and were chasing the English troops in
the direction OF Dundee, when the wires
were cut by the Beers, or the British
censor stopped the report OF the war

The Peoria Journal, which is intensely
British, says that the Irish Fusileers
were the principal troops in the fight at
Glencoe. If We may judge the rank and
file of the regiment from the names of
the officers reported killed and wounded,
there was not much Celtic blood shed
in the battle. If the Irish Fusileers are
Irish at all they must be Anglo-Irish,
and that is the same as anti-Irish. The
British garrison in Ireland may glory in
their gallantry, but Irish Nationalist
certainly do not.

Bourke Cochran has an exalted opin-
ion OF William J. Bryan. He gave the
following estimate OF him to Edward
Marshall: Il knew Bryan we'll.
served with him four years in the ways
and means committee of the House, and
we met almost every day in what might
be called the intimacy OF political asso-
citation. Bryan personally is one OF the
purcst men | ever met in politics or out.
His devotion to public welfare, as he
understands it, is more like the love OF
a woman for her child or for her hus-
band than it is the expression OF poll
ticians mind. l do not believe that
after many years OF active participation
i'll politics and three years OF leadership,
his moral nature has become colored by
even the shadow OF selfish motive, or
that in order to be elected president to-
morrow he would consent to temporizc
with his belief or evadc the expression
OF it,"

Two grandsons OF the late Robert
Bonner, publisher OF the New York
Ledger, and noted l,orseman, are to
contest his will They are Robert Allen
Bonner and Lawrence Kip Bonner, sons
Of the deceased Andrew Allen Bonner.
They claim that undue influence was
exercised by the publishers children.
The two grandchildren requests were
to be held in trust by the executors
until they came of age, which would
deprive their mother of any participa-
ton in the estate In case the children
should die while infants their uncles and
their aunt would get the money.

fused to advertise her bawdy talk to

1t is with deep regret that the Irish
Standard announces to-day in its news
column s'Over the Northwest" the death
of Rev. P. McCabe. He was the priest
who assisted the late John Boyle
O'Reilly in escaping from penal servi-
tude in Australia. When the poet and
patriot lectured in Minneapolis few
weeks before his lamented death Father
McCabe occupied seat OF honor on
the platform. Had he been known to
the audience he would have received an
enthusiastic ovation. May the souls of
both priest and patriot, who were friends
in life, enjoy eternal felicity in the King
dom of Heaven.

London Truth prints a. statement of
the fighting strength of the two South
African republics, derived from the best
authority. The war strength of the
Transvaal is fixed at 10000 burghers
liable to service, OF whom 14,2oo are
between eighteen and tlirty-four years
OF age. The number liable to service in
the Orange Free State is 10000, and the
only permanent troops maintained by
this republic are force OF eighty field
artillerymen. The gross total on paper
comes to 45,6oo, for the two states, of
whom probably about $4,000 are able
bodied men in the prime of life.

The Mckinley organs are trying to
make political capital out OF Archbishop
lreland's speech in Chicago. Says the
LIE Sueur News: with such patriotic
words from the venerable prelate of the
Catholic church the slurs thrown out
that Catholics opposed the movement
and were not in sympathy with the
President, should reflect back on those
who utter such malicious lies" Mr..
Grimes had better interview the Cath

how they stand on the Philippine policy.

Says the Waseca (Minn.) Herald:
ut is a pretty easy matter to tell where
Mckinley stands when we observe that
he was the guest of Tom Lowry in
Minneapolis and OF Jim Hill in St. Paul.
Queer, isn't it, that he should overlook
such men as ex-senator Ramsey, of St.
Paul, and Ex-Governor Pillsbury, of
Minneapolis, who were Republicans
when the Republican party could not
tolerate those twin relics OF barbarism,'
slavery and polygamy, as Mckinley
does in the Su1u islands.

1t is thought that even the Irish Ma
