such a heart-rending and bloody en-

The one circumstance during the year
just closing that seemed to have some
hope for mankind was the Peace Con-
gress at The Hague, but alas
those promises have fallen short of fru

history as one devoid of any especial

human race.

A NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

And so the United States has gone
into the tripple-alliancing business!
Well, well, WE'LL England, Germany and
the United States. What a combina-
ton! OF course, there will be no for
NAL alliance, but what it lacks in for
mality it will possess in reality, if a
certain clique in the United States can
dominate the government. That this
clique will be strong enough to commit
the United States may be questioned.
out IT'S intention is clear.
What will France think of such an
alliance, France, who gave us very SUBJ
stantial assistance when that same
England was endeavoring to prevent us
from enjoying the liberties we now pos
sess?
Russia, too. What will Russia saw
to an Anglo German-American alliance?
Russia has uniformly been a better
friend to the United States than ever
England was. But these are queer
times, indeedl

A CARD FROM BISHOP scANLAN.

I feel it my duty to protect Catholics
and the public generally from fraud
and imposition by notifying them from
time to time that no person bearing the
name and garb of priest or sister or
any one else is authorized or permitted
to solicit or collect in this diocese for
any purpose whatever connected with
the Catholic church without having
from me permission in writing bearing
my seal and signature. Should any one
be found engaged in doing this unlaw-
full work of collecting without such a
document, he or she, as the case may
be, should be regarded by all as fraud
and an imposter L. SCANLANr

WHY HE BECAME A CATHOLIC.

The Hon. Henry Dillon, who YVES
formerly a prominent Denver lawyer.
read a paper recently before the New
man club of California, in which he
tells why he became a Catholic There
are many points of agreement between
his reasons and those given years ago
by his distinguished fellow statesman
Hon. Peter Burnett in his Path Which
Led a Protestant Lawyer Into the
Catholic Church" Judge Dillon saws:
From pulpit and platform I have
heard much of the Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of Man. 1 was
much inclined to the conviction that
both Of them wsre TO be found in their
best estate outside of the churches. A
wider experience taught me different
~. For realization of that dream 1
searched diligently and conscientiously
| through Odd Fellowship, Masonry, the
Liberal League, Unitarianisnn and
kindred ethical societies. But the god
of all these was not a Father He was
a mere abstraction, a first cause. an
over soul, law, not a law-giver AS
for the Brotherhood Of Man, let those
who have searched for it through all
the secret, benevolent societies and fra
ternal organizations tell me if they
have been more successful than I in
finding it. I did not find it until 4
searched in the Catholic Church. There
1 found the brotherhood kneeling side
by side upon the same hard floor. There

coms7lon faith in the same Heavenly
Father into a universal brotherhood, a
Catholic Church. There all tongues
confess one Lord, one faith one bap-
tism and in one universal language |
praise Gods Holy Name.
Judge Dillon, before he became a |
Catholic, was Jealous for political re- |
form. Experience here, too, taught |
him that all such reforms must begin
within men, and proceed outwardly |
from the purified and honest heart of |
the individual. Like Diogenes he went |
in quest of honest men, or the forces
that could produce them. Unconscious
~ he bore in his hand during his search
a lantern of Grace which lighted him
to the doors of the Church. He is very
positive in his assertion that that force
upon which the country largely relies
for the evolution of its ideal citizens is
not equal to the task imposed upon it.
Even the public school," he says,

RIVER CONVEYED TITLE.
supreme Court Passes Upon Inter-
state Case.

Des Moines, Oct. 1s.-The supreme
court was called upon to decide wheth-
er land taken from farmer in Iowa
and given to farmer in Nebraska by
the Missouri river could be conveyed
by the latter as his own property, and
decided Monday that it could. The
case in which the opinion was rend-
cred is entitled Quinlan VS.. Bradley
ct al. 1t was admitted by both parties
to the suit that the land in question
has been given to the plaintiff by the
original government survey and that
the Missouri river interfered in 1887,
to transfer it in whole or part, to the
Nebraska shore where the defendants
received it with open arms. The plain
tiff, however, did not cease to claim
the land and brought the present ac-
ton to quiet his title and set aside;
conveyances made by the defendants.
The supreme court held with the
lower court that the land belonged to
the defendants. 1t holds that the plain
tiff could only maintain his action by
fully identifying the soil and that is
impossible unless it is transferred in a
body. The land disappeared suddenly
and perceptibly, but when it came up
on the opposite shore it was gradual
and imperceptible. The claim by the
adjoining land owners that it was
theirs by right OF accretion was there
fore sustained.

Speak at Birmingham Tonight

4
Hon. George D. Perkins, editor of
the Sioux City Journal, and eN-con-
gresham from the Eleventh district,
was in the city today, enroute to Biz
mingham, where he delivers polite
cal address this evening. From there
he goes to Clarke county. Mr.. Per-
kins reports excellent meetings wher-
ever he has been, and while people
generally are too busy to spend a
great deal of extra time in talking pol
tics, there is a prevailing sentiment
of satisfaction with existing conditions
that is exceedingly gratifying to repub-
licans, who are able to point back TO
the campaign of 1896 and say: 81 told
you So" Mr.. Perkins states that the
bitter invective of Candidate Fred
White, applied to the war in the Phil
ippines, and all who have been engaged
therein, has reacted very notcebly
against the democratic candidate, and
is particularly apparent just at this
time, when the entire nation is ex-
tending such cordial welcome to the
brave men of the Fifty-frst Iowa,
which fought for the flag in the island
of Luzon. Said Mr.. Perkins: "Mr.
Whites declaration that these men
have been practically committing a
crime in fighting for Old Glory isn't
calculated to, and in fact does not,
arouse any amount of enthusiasm just
now"

Uncle Horace Joins the ..Auti.. ),

Des Moines, Oct. 24.-Ex-Governor
Horace Boies at Sumner, Saturday,
spoke at length on the meeting Of the
Anti-Imperialistic league in Chicago
and declared that this league would
grow and become the foe and finally
the executioner of the republican
party.
He declared that until the question
of expansion by "forcible subjugation"
was forever settled in the negative it
must be made the one paramount and
only issue by the democrats.
To succeed, he said, the party must
drop all other issues.
When that question is settled the
party can go back to the consideration
of such questions as the proper meas.
ure of values, high or low tariff, and
government by injunction.

LIFE In THE ORIENT.
Letter From the Finy-frst Iowa Just
Before Leaving Japan.

The Courier is in receipt of letter
from f. u. Srtong, member of Com

fantry, which was written to members
of his family in this city. The letter
was written at Yokohama, Japan, Oct.
S, and having been mailed on one of
the fast mail steamers the same day,
made the trip in the remarkable short
time of 20 days. The communication
was penned while on the homeward
trip, and is as follows:
We arrived here Tuesday evening at
1890 from Nagasaki, Japan. We
came through the inland seas via Koba
and Osaka, and passed through the
most scenic part of Japan. 1t is about
800 miles by water from Nakasaki and
at no time are you out of sight of land,
with lofty mountains rising upon
either side. 1t is the finest scenery
that 1 ever saw in my life. The Amer

rooms now. This is at No. JIG Bund

up to the imperial palace, where the
mikado lives. OF course we could only
stand outside and look at the walls and
grounds, which We're guarded by the
imperial guards. Then I went down

Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Reid then de-
livered an address on expansion.
In the course of his address he made
an argument in behalf of the retention
of the Philippines. He declared that the
administration which would have or
dered Dewey to sail away like pirate
from the port where his victory had
broken down all civilized authority but
his own, and his presence alone pre-
vented domestic anarchy and foreign
spoilation would have deserved to be
hooted out of the capital" If the peace
commissioners had thrown away in
Paris what Dewey won in Manila" they
would have been ''not only Improbable

the people are capable of.

yellow Fever In the ARMY,

Tt isn't the number Of men that vel
low fever kills that frightens you, bu.
the unexpected suddenness of its at
tack and the rapidity with which it
kills. A man is well AMI hearty ut 2
y. M; at p. m. he is deadly i'll; at
6 p. m. he is dead, and at 8 p. m. he is
buried. In much the same manner
men will work day after day in appa-
rent health. and then will suddenly ap.
pear a general weakness. The body is
giving out. 1t needs something to
strengthen it, to drive away the i'm
purities of the blood, to tone up the
stomach, and assist digestion. For this
purpose Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
highly recommended. It will cure dys-
pepsia, indigestion, constipation, ma,
laria, fever and ague.

SPOKE AT COMPETING
Major Mahon, Captain Harper and
N. E. Carpenter Talk
MEN OF BOTH PARTIES PRESENT
Large Attendance Prove. the In,eres
oftlle Farmers in the Issues-N. L.
Carpenter Speaks on the Phillips
pine Question.

Major Mahon, Captain S. II. Harper
and N. L. Carpenter addressed an en-
thusiastic meeting of republicans and
democrats in the town hall at Compe-
tine last evening. The large attendance
proved the interest the voters are talk
ing i'll this campaign this fall.
Major Mahon spoke on state and
county issues, and made it plain that
it is not good business policy to change
from republican TO democratic control
Of county and state affairs.
Captain Harper spoke on trusts, mis-
takes of Bryan and militarism. He
showed plainly that the republican
party was much better qualified 10
handle the trusts than the democratic
party; that Mr.. Bryan had made SO
many mistakes in his short political
career that he would make very in
different president; that by the ac-
ton of the state convention of Iowa,
and by his endorsement by so many
democratic conventions in other states,
Mr.. Bryan would certainly be the dem
ocratic candidate next year. There
fore he was justified in discussing Mr..
Bryan's record. He showed thar Mr..
Bryan, in all of his political expert
ments, had been mistaken.
N. E. Carpenter spoke on the Philip
pine question. He showed very plainly
that the position we occupy in the
Philippines has come about by the rat
ification of a treaty between the United
States and Spain; that, according to
the constitution, Mr.. Mckinley is
bound to protect and defend the Phil
ippines as much as he is bound to pro-
tect and defend any other portion Of
the United States territory; that if he
had Withdrawn the army from the
Philippines our democratic friends
would have denounced him as cow
ard and poltroon. They would have
asked what Jackson would have done
in such case; they would have longed
for president like "Old Hickory" a
man that had the courage of his con-
victions; a man that would defend the
American flag, American interests at
all times and on all occasions. Mr..
Carpenter handled the Philippine ques-
ton in a very mastery manner.
