the Friendly Sons of st. Patrick, COM

SONS, and of which Washington himself |
was a member, becoming a. natural
lied or adopted Irishman, to qualify |
him for membership. These Irishmen
were among the most refined and ele-
CANT gentlemen with whom Washing
ton associated in Philadelphia, whose
even then was very largely
Irish. AS early at 1928 nine tenths of
the emigrants to that province were
Irish. 1t was much the same in Vir-
ginia, in the Carolinas, in New York
and New England.

MORE REGARDING CATHOLIC
CHAPLAINS.

| 1t is unfortunate and most depIor-
able that our Catholic soldiers and sea-
men should be deprived of the oppor-
tunity of receiving the ministrations
and consultations of their religion The
fault is, of course, with the govern
ment, which. in the appointment of
chaplains, takes no account of the re-
ligious faith of the men to whom chap
lains are sent.
The Intermountain Catholic is con-
WINGED that there is but one way to
remedy the evil. 1t is a way that may
seem drastic and radical to some. but
we are cutie convinced it is the only
effectual way.
If there were no salary attached to
the office of chaplain and the service
was a purely voluntary one, the men
who now bring all sorts of political
influence to bear in order to secure
chaplaincies would soon be looking for
office elsewhere. In this case volunteers
from the Priesthood would not be lack
ing, and our neglected sailors and SOL
diers would not be deprived of religious
ministration, but as long as a good fat
salary and divers emoluments go with
the office of chaplain, SO long will the
Protestant clergymen with a pull" be
appointed to minister to Catholics,
VINO, of course, will ever refuse their
ministrations.
Such is the condition, and such has
it always been under our government.
From time to time protests are made
by Catholic bodies, but always without
result.
In 1S49 the following appeal YVES made
by the United Irish Societies of the
country to President Hayes. 1t was
unheeded by the then President. whose
successors likewise have practically
continued to ignore it, although the
condition at the present time is nor
quite so bad as it was in 1879, yet the
difference is so slight that this protest
is as sorceful today as it was twenty
wears ago:

States: The undersigned, Roman
citizen OF the United States,

DANIEL o'CoNNELL's POLITICAL,
CREED.

My political creed is short and sim
pie. 1t consists in believing that all
men are entitled as Of right and justice
to religious and civil liberty. I deserve
no credit for being the advocate of re-
ligious liberty. as my wants alone re-
quire such advocacy; but L have taken
care to require it only on the princi-
pie which would equally grant it to all
sects and persuasions. which. while it
emancipated the Catholics in Ireland.
would protect the Protestants in
France and Italy, and destroy the in
QUESTION. together with the iHquisitors.
in Spain. Religion is debased and de
graded by human interference; and
surely the worship Of the Deity cannot
but be contaminated by the admixtWe
of the worldly ambition and human
force. Such are my sentiments.

Many other articles of American ex-
port find their way into the South
African states which might be culti-
waited there if. the South Africans took
advantage of the excellent opportuni-
l7ties offered by the soil and nature, such
as flour. corn, butter, potatoes, canned
meats and vegetables. Large numbers
of American livestock have been i'm
ported by the farmers Oh Cape Town,
and Cecil. Rhodes, the great explorer,
has recently stocked his immense Rho
desian farm with American cattle,
horses, etc.
In return, the imports from South
Africa to this country are of far less
value than the exports, for the reason
that the country produces but Few
articles which are not consumed where
they originate. America is the best
market in the world for diamonds. one
fourth of the annual output OF the
Kimberley mines finding Its way to the
United States.
Other articles of Importation are
hides. tallow, aloes and ostrich feath-
ers. One of the alternate life govern
ors of the De Beers Consolidated Dia-
mond mines at Kimberley is Mr.. Gard
ner f. Williams, a native of Michigan.
BY the application of American ideas
and experience gained in the mining
districts of California and other west
ern states. gIr. Williams has succeeded
in making of the mines a property
yielding an annual profit of $10,0OO,OOO
on a nominal capital of $20,O00,0OO Mr..
Williams receives a salary of 100000.
He also holds the office of American
consular agent at Kimberley, an office,
however to which little or no salary
is attached
In numbers the Americans in South
Africa are comparatively few, only
about 10000, but their service in the de-
yeIopment of the land has been invalu |
able. From them the farmers have
been taught to farm. the miners to dig
gold, and the statesmen to govern. |
Their work has been a credit to their |
country, and their patriotism is shown
on every public occasion by the dis /
play of the stars and stripes. They I
have taken no part in the recent politi-
cal disturbances of the Transvaal-

pelldnL and 1mpertinent was MI Hal
rfman's attitude, that the sailors of on
Of our battleships ON which he was ;
guest, requested the officers of the shil
to compel Mr. Hartman to leave.
1t is said on the same authority tina
wherever Mr.. Hartman went, h'
caused trouble and annoyance to the
officers and men of the army.
We submit these facts to the Inde,
pendent and suggest that it verify
them, which can be easily done. 1t is
a great pity that a high class journal
! like the Independent should open its
columns to writer who is beyond
doubt a religious fanatic. The only
value that can. in any possible circum-
stance, attach to Mr.. HaTrfman's opin-
ions, comes through the medium of
their publication.
From Father McKinnon we receive
much valuable information on the sta
tus of affairs in the island of Luzon.
The readers of the Intermountain Cath
Ole recall that we were very loath to
believe the allegations Of Church des-
ecration to which so many of our con-
temporaries seem to have given Gre
dence. Father McKinnon assures us
that Whatever church dissertation has
taken place should be attributed to the
insurgents and the Chinese, and in
only one instance in his judgment to
American troops In every case, where
church was to be occupied, Father
McKinnon himself was given a detail
of soldiers to protect the same.
The insurgents always failed to re-
spect churches, and were utterly lack
ing in Veneration towards sacred yes
sells and vestments. For priests and
bishops they had neither respect nor
mercy. Among the first acts of their
so-called congress was the passage of d
law declaring all church property, of
whatsoever nature, confiscated to their
alleged state. More than this, it was
decreed that priests should all be made
vassals and slaves. And in conformity
with this decree nearly 400 priests are
today held captive and made to min
lister as menials to the most degraded
of the insurgents. One venerable bish-,
op' NHOse lie, 1Or many years, was
one of charity and kindness, spent in
the service of the Tagalos, was taken
by them into the public square, stripped |
of his garments and made the sport
and mockery of jeering crowd of saw
ages, for who but a savage could thus
treat benefactor?
But to the point of church desecra-
ton. 1t is true that vestments and |
articles of church service have found |
their way to the United States. This,
however proves nothing. We ourselves
have seen vestments brought from the
Philippines in the possession of Father
Doyle, the we'll known Paulist, which
hat reverend gentleman purchased in
San Francisco. In all probability these
festments were stolen by Chinese from
churches in the Philippines. who,
Father McKinnon asserts. were the
,hief and practically the only Hooters"
If churches.
We think the Catholic press can safe
y refrain from further reference to
he allegation of church looting by our
roops. 1t can engage its attention far
more profitably, in the consideration of
he attempts of Mr.. Hartman and
theirs of his kind to rob, plumber, desc
rate and confiscate all church property
n the Philippine islands.

our legislature provides that every
person who shall Kin wolfby poison Or
otherwise shall be entitled TO reward
of three dollars, to be paid by the
county wherein said wolf was killed. :"
The state also pays three dollars. This
forces all counties to pay three dol

ty by majority vote Of its county
board provided that
no county shall pay more than five
dollars" Grant county has been
paying seven dollars on female wolves

WILL PROSECUTE.
The Clark Brothers viii Push the
Prosecution.
A Chain of circumstances Being Brought
to Light in CIarl's Favor and
Against Harper.

The remains of Lawrence Valentine
Clark arrived over the u. & o. yester-
day and were at once taken to the
murdered mans former home at Kane,
Mexican county, Pa, where they will
be inferred this afternoon. With the
remains were Mrs Clark and the three
children, and two brothers, o. L. Clark
and A. p. Clark, and G. l.. Ruch, field
man of the oil company for whom
Clark worked. =
There is a change of sentiment at
Chesterhill, according to all reports,
and chain of circumstantial evidence
is being made up by Clark's friends,
which may exonerate him and convict
Harper.
On the night of the murder Harper
came down ON the T. & o. G. e., got
off at Lathrop, wnere ne hired a team
and drove to a point Just south of
Chesterhill, where he told the driver to
turn back No one in Uhesterhill saw
him before the murder, or at least NO
one has so stated.
1t is supposed by Clark's friends
who have a great deal of confidence in
him, that he and Harper entered the
house together and that Clark went
there for the purpose of settling up ac-
counts for work and board.
1t s said that after Harper had
warned Clark to stay away from the
house. on the 4th and 11th of July
that he invited him there on the 18th
to have a good time
Mr.. C. l.. Ruch stated to our reporter
| yesterday that he had known Clark fol
several years ana had never known
anything against him, and that Harper
was very jealous and had threatened
to kill other men for even talking tC
Mrs. Harper He is in possession oi
great many facts concerning the
murder, which will not be disclosed
until the trial Clark's brothers will
do all in their power to have Harper
convicted.
Harper is now in Jail at McConnels
vile and his wife has taken rooms
near the Jail. She has been with hin
almost continually since the murder
C.arks friends look upon this fact will
suspicion.
The excitement in Chesterhill ha'
subsidized to large extent and sensibl,
people there and elsewhere are nov
asking that bath sides Le heard anC
thai justic may lie done.
