Hibernian Picnic.

St Louis, June 19.-Col. W. ]. Bryan, in
a letter declining an invitation to attend a
picnic to be given by the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, owing to other engage
ments, says:
"An races have exhibited more or less
of race pride and attachment, but none
have shown themselves more devoted than
the Irish to the land of their birth and the
people of their blood. Our nation can
learn from the Irish people a lesson of
great Importance just al this time, name
ly, that one race cannot govern another
race by force; nor can it govern without
exciting the continued enmity of the gov
erned. Ireland has long been denied the
right of self-government, but the desire
than diminished with the lapse of time"

Atkinson Thinks lie
Has Been Slandered

Boston, Nov. 9.-Edward Atkinson,
in an interview regarding the results
o fthe recent elections, said:
"It is too early to draw many con-
illusions from the election as affecting
the anti-imperalist cause, but there is
one conclusion quite apparent, espec-
tally in Ohio.
THE Administration is in a minor
ity. The atrocities of the Philippine
was are condemned
war are condemned.
IF the efforts to subjugate the Phil
ippine Islands should drag on until the
next election, which very much doubt,
all members of Congress of either par
ty, who support criminal aggression
will be defeated in Ohio and also in
other States.
II anticipate a very great change in
the conduct of affairs by the Admins
tration after this election, but lest 1t
should not come, the dominant minor
ity, now opposing the policy of the Ad-
ministration under the name of anti
imperialists will control the next
House of Representatives. About Mas
sachusetts, there Is not much to say.
The character and we'll known opinions
of Governor Crane are all in his favor.
His cordial support of Senator Hoar
is well assured, and there has been no
special opposition on the part of the
anti-imperalists to his election"

cease the publication of the Anti-Im-
perialist after the national accounts are
