the Thirteenth regiment, now engaged
in war with the natives of the Philip:
pines, he states that he with hundreds OF
other soldiers, is suffering from partial
blindness caused by the dense heat of

PUBLIC PULSATIONS.
How Ignorance of Catholic Subjects is
Promoted.

To the Editor OF The Irish Standard.
The tone OF some Of the letters from
Protestant soldiers serving in our army
in the Philippines has astonislled very
much both Catholic and liberal readers
How such ignorance OF Catholic sub
jccts could exist in otherwise clever and
pretty well educated minds does indeed
seem strange; yet when we consider the
pabulum OF bigotry supplied to the
young American Protestant in Sunday
schools, secular newspapers, and in
many cases in the public schools, moth
ing else could be expected. Is not the
same prejudice against anything Catho-
lie exhibited by the manufacturers Of
history who are becoming so numerous
nowadays?
Fifty years ago English history was
we'll described as "a conspiracy against
truth" but is it much better today?
Now there are opened to historians the
English state papers OF the time Of
Henry WILL, Elizabeth, James l. ETC.,
containing much valuable information
and proving utterly false thousands Of
the calumnies written against Catholic
ity, but what use have Protestant his
torians made OF these valuable docu-
ments? ]. A. Froudc wilfully changed
the meaning when pretending TO quote
from these papers, and though Freeman
had grace enough to denounce his scan
dalous scheme he himself fell into er-
rors little less serious. Green in his
Story of the English People pours
forth torrents of foul falschoods which
he must have known to be false, and the
less known compilcrs and writer's have
far exceeded him in the lengths to which
they have allowed bgotry to blind them
and their readers.
Gasquez has in his history OF Henry
VIII. and the English monasteries given
the full truth OF the suppression and
confiscation of the monks homes and
the causes which led to them. He does
not give his own opinion as history, but
quotes from the English state papers
which, if at all biased, are rather in
favor of the king Why do American
writer's pass this testimony by? Are
they afraid OF fair play? In one of our
Minneapolis dailies there are given oc-
casionally scraps OF history written by
professors from the universities of the
East. One would think these learned
men had become fossilized forty years
ago and never learned anything since.
What of the French, the German, the
Swedish ambassadors letters on current
events in England-things which have
now become history? They are to be
had, but are carefully Stunned by the
anti-Catholic historian" In England
there is just now great awakening to
the truth OF what I nave limited at, but
the Rip Van Wrinkle sleep still holds the
drowsy heads and unopened eyes OF our
American literary men. When will
they awake from their lethargy and give
the people historic truth instead of Pro-
testant fiction? Truth is bound 10 pre-
vail i'll the long run despite every effort
to pcrpetuate falschood.

is the meaning OF this declaration when
it is stripped OF its rhetoric? Only this
we are to enter upon wars OF con-
quest, and to govern the conquered by
force. The flag which to us is free
flag would be to them only an emblem
OF tyranny.
What sort of government is the pres
ident setting up in the Philippine ISL
ands? The answer must be this: A
military government set up over peo-
pie who have been subdued or who are
to be subdued by military power. Can
such government be good govern

the subjects of it? And of what value
is the opinion OF the governing party
to those who are the subjects OF gov

The president avows the purpose to
enforce submission against all resist

reference to the wishes OF the inhabi-
tants. He asserts purpose to use all
the powers ever claimed by any despot.

been visited by man. The news was
made public in the city yesterday by
j. A. Wilson of Butte, Mont, who for
three years past has been prospecting
in the Newsome and Elk City districts.
Mr.. Wilson is one of party Of five
who made the discovery, his compan-
ions being James Baker, William Swan
son. John A. Toole and Umatilla In
dian named Lunn. Mr.. Toole is min
ing man of Baker City. He and the
Umatilla Indian accompanied MIR. Will
son to the City on the return from the
new gold fields. Swanson and Baker
remained there. Mr.. Toole proceeded
on to Baker City and will meet Mr..
Wilson in Butte in few days. They
will then return here accompanied by
a party of Montana friends and go i'm
mediately into the district to remain
during the winter. The three men
brought out with them 1,l55s. That
amount was shoveled into crude
sluice box in four days by four men.
The largest nugget found in the clean
up weighed 620S.
With an Indian guide the party first
went to place where the Indians had
secured gold, but the ground was not
very rich. After days of tedious trav-
ell, during which time Mr.. Wilson esti-
mated the party covered l25 miles from
the Indian discoveries, an opening in
the forest unfolded to their views a
beautiful basin nestled in the noun
talks where the waters of a dozen or
more creeks meet. This basin en-
braces the new placer fields. 1t aver
ages one-half mile i'm width and is
about four miles long. II is 800 miles
from Lewiston on the headwaters of
the middle fork of the Clearwater.
The small creeks which empty into the
basin and the big creek thus formed,
which is one of the tributaries of the
middle fork, have no existence on the
maps. 1t is virgin country that has
been hidden from the knowledge Of
man all these days. The discoverers
have no means of basing its location
by the maps of Idaho and Montana

claim to their bonanza by filing in both

The discovery of fabulously rich

Diary of this county is reported. Among

that Orofino, Boise Basin and Florence
were all the deposits of that nature
which the state contained, the Coeur

Others having come too near to the
mark for anyone to consider them
merely as freaks. The scene of the re-

known regions. The following account

Mining Experts Opinion.

The force of a following comment by
mining publication on the methods
of the average mining expert, is about
right, as the experience of many an
old prospector has proven, but it works
both ways. Expert opinions have
poured vast amounts of money into
worthless sections, and on the other
hand have retarded the development
of many a good district. The thing
evens up somewhat, except that in the
first instance the money is total loss,
while in the latter the holding back is
temporary, and where merit exists lasts
only until the hackers of the district
disprove the experts opinion by open
ing up claims and showing the values
right there. The article says:
1T is inexplicable why the opinion
Of the professional mining expert
should be implicitly relied upon by so
many apparently intelligent men. He
goes into camp of which he is entirely
ignorant-knows nothing of its forma-
tion and Autographed peculiarities,
looks around owlishly for day or two
and then gives an opinion to either
damn or praise the mine he is employ
ed to examine.
In ninety nine instances in hun
dred subsequent developments prove
him to be wrong. We contend that
nobody can go through mine as il a
constable were after him and know
anything about it. Study of the
ground and the peculiarities of the
locality is necessary. No two mining
belts in the world are identical in their
characteristics, yet experts seem tc
judge from one standpoint.r-Pioche
