There are two Protestant divines in
Minneapolis upon whom the plutocracy
can always depend to champion the
cause OF imperialism and criminal ag-
gression," either from the platform or
the pulpit. One is the Rev. James S.
Montgomery, pastor of the Wesley NJ.
E. church, and the other is Rev. Marion
D. Shutter, rector of the Universalist
Church of the Redeemer A year ago
the former represented the plutocracy
at the imperialist meeting held in the
Metropolitan theater, and on last Nc
mortal day he was the orator at the
Exposition building. On both occa-
sions he acquitted himself very credit
ably and refrained from indulging in
abuse or Misrepresentation.
The other, DR.. NJ. D. Shutter, is a
different sort OF man. When brother
divine, Rev. DR.. Riley, of the Baptist
church, was the object Of attack by the
Republican press OF the Twin Cities,
Dr. Shutter, who was absent at the
time, wrote letter for publication in
which he scornfully referred to the VIC

THE SENTIMENT OF NATIONALITY.

The century now rapidly closing has
been one of the most remarkable in the
history of the earth-perhaps the most
remarkable with the exception of the
epoch which included the life OF the
Divine Founder OF Christianity on this
planet. The world of hundred years
ago seems as distant as the days OF
Cormac MacNessa or Sennacherib.
States and empires have vanished
Huge powers have sprung into exist
ence. Inventions have revolutionized
the old-time methods of human life
And human ideals have altered-too
often for the worse, says VIM. O'Brien
in the Irish People, of Dublin.
Yet when the marvellous story OF the
nineteenth century is being told for the
instruction of the generations to come,
it is absolutely certain that the histori-
ans OF the future will dwell admiringly
and lovingly upon the unparalleled
struggle for freedom waged by two
little nations in South Africa during this
last year of a momentous epoch rather
than upon the rise of mighty empires,
the fall of potent. states, the develop
ment OF vast continents, or the wonder

sity for keeping standing army, as the
republicans would be prepared to assist
the colonists to repel any foreign in
roads in South Africa, unity would be
insured, and loyalty to Great Britain ce-
mented.
The Cape Dutch had better be lis
tened to respectfully by the British gov
ernment ere it be too late. They de-
mand voice in the appointment OF
their own governor, and for the sake OF
a lasting friendship ask that the burgh-
ers are given unqualified freedom and
independence. If the British jingoes arc
bull-headed enough not to grant the
rights they demand for themselves and
their kindred of the Transvaal and Or
ange Free State, they must keep per-
manently in South Africa an army OF
5000 men or more when they may be
needed to uphold British supremacy in
other parts of the world

The Sage of Nininger says that P. H.
Rahilly is attacked because he Is Irish,
and his name is Patrick. "These fools
do not seem to know" continues I. D.,
that the name Patrick meant 'patri-
clan, aristocrat, gentleman and that it
is now given to some of the male men,
bers of Queen Victoria's family" Per-
haps our friend is not aware that the
infant son of the Duke and Duchess of
York which her majesty promised to
call Patrick was baptized at Windsor
castle and named Henry William Fred
erick Albert" Even the queens own
son who was christened Patrick threw
away the hated name as Irish girls dis
card the name of Bridget in this coun-
try. Had there been no Patrick Henry
in Revolutionary days such 1rishmen as
Rahilly would not have retained the
honored name of 1reland's patron saint.

General Macarthur, commanding the
American forces in the Philippines, has
cabled to Washington, in response to
an inquiry from Secretary Root, the to-
tai list of casualties among the Filipi-
nos since the insurrection began. They
are as follows: Filipinos killed, 1o,78o;
wounded, 2,1o4; captured and surren-
dered, 1o,424; prisoners in our posses
sion, 1900. Macarthur thinks the num-
Der killed is largely in excess of accu-
rate figures, and that the number re-
ported wounded is much less, as the
latter were carried away by the insur-
gents. The figures given show the
slaughter of natives to be very heavy.

Rev. M. F. Byrne, of Union City,
Ind, knows nothing of the language of
his ancestors, and therefore he spoke
contemptuously of it at the recent A.
o. H. convention in Boston. 1t is said
by Taaffe, a celebrated Celtic scholar,
that "a man who is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT in the Gaelic language could have
talked in Hebrew to Moses, in Greek
to Aristotle, and in Latin to Cicero"
Father Byrne, Of the Hoosier state,
seems to be in sublime ignorance of the
fact. He is evidently a young man with
Anglo-Saxon proclivities who ought to
be bounced from the organization.

Judge Taft, the head of McKinley's
new Philippine commission at Manila,
says in proclamation: Representing
the sovereignty of the United States in
the Philippines, which it is the purpose
of our government to maintain, we are
here to do justice to the Filipinos, and
to secure for them the best government
in our power, and such a measure of
popular control as is consistent with
the stability and security of law, order,
and property" Why does he not tell in
plain words what the Filipines may ex-
pect to get from the United States?
The insurgents will not be deceived by
such clap-trap.

In recent lecture delivered in Boston
by noted Hindoo named Bipin Chan
dra Pal he said: II have lived in Eng
land and l have travelled in America,
and have never, while in Piccadilly or
Chicago, regretted that I was a hea-
then." There is but slight difference,
if any, in the mode of life among many
people in London and Chicago and the
heathens OF the Orient. In the modern
Babylon and the Windy City there are
thousands who believe as Christians but
live like the heathens. Probably Bipin
Chandra Pal met some of them in his
peregrinations.

Two generals named Manning and
Kiefer, of whose martial deeds we know
nothing, have rushed into print thirty
five years after the Civil War to say
that Phil Sheridan did not turn defeat
into victory at Cedar Creek after his
famous ride from Winchester, twenty
miles away. The articles in to-day's
Irish Standard show that the two gen.
erals aforesaid cannot dim the lustre
of Sheridan's immortal name.

There is a legend religiously believed
in by the people of the west of Ireland
that on May morning, at sunrise, the
princely O'Donoghuegallops his white
charger over the waters of Killarney,
says John De Morgan in, Donahoe's
for June. For many years after the
death OF the O'Donoghue, the spirit of
this hero is supposed to have been seen
on the morning of May-day gliding
over the lake on his favorite to the.
sound of sweet unearthly music, and
preceded by groups of youths and
maidens, whe flung wreaths of delicate
spring flowers in his path. The waves
which come on Killarney's bosom on =
windy day, crested with foam, are
called by the boatmen "O'Donoghue's
white horses" ..s..

1gnatius Donnelly says in the Repre-
sentative: Joseph Galloway, native
OF Maryland, during visit to England
in June, 1879, before an investigating
committee Of the English house of conf
mons, when asked the composition OF
the rebel army, stated that one-fourth
of it were natives of America, one-half
were Irish, and the other fourth Eng
lish and Scotch" What does our
friend, Martin 1. ]. Griffin, of Philadel-
phia, think OF that?

The Atlantic Monthly, of Boston, is
as puritanical to-day as if published in
the days of Cotton Mather. Some time
ago President Eliot, of Harvard, at
tackled the Jesuits in its pages for what
he styled their "Moslem methods of
education" and made plea for his pet
system OF "electivism." Professor West,
OF Princeton, sent reply against "elect-
ivism" and it was printed; but when
Father Brosnahan, OF Woodstock Col
lege, sent an answer to the charge
against the Jesuits, the magazine re-
jected it. And yet this bigoted publica-
ton expects the patronage of Roman
Catholics.

According to an official statement by
the British government the forces sent
to South Africa for the subjugation of
the Beers aggregated 277,442 men,
$4,000 horses and 600 cannon. Accord
ing to Captain Reichman the Ameri-
can officer with the Boer army, the
Transvaal force has not at any time
averaged more than $4,000 men, and
yet the loss of the British in killed and
disabled is about 47,ooo. England has
no cause to feel elated over victory
won at such a cost.

Unless l am altogether wrong in this
belief, our true responsibilities in the
case OF the Philippines demand not that
we regard it as mere academic ques-
ton how we got them, or that we should
keep the stolen goods under the sancti-
monious pretence of benevolent pur-
poses, but that, as an honest and right
eous people, we should restore them to
their rightful owners, ana to secure, so
far as it is in our power, those owners
in the possession of them.

Major Tasker H. Bliss is collector of
customs in Cuba and, dressed in his
little brief authority" is cutting quite
swath. Contrary to the orders of the
war department, Bliss has refused to
admit free of duty articles for the
churches to be used in divine worship.
Lately he demanded duty on vestments
and chalice for a poor church at Cuba
de Aqua on the ground that duty must
be paid on all religious articles except
those (which in some form or other are
used in Protestant as we'll as in Catho-
lie churches" "Where ignorance is
Bliss, tits folly to be wise," quoth the

1gnatius Donnelly is wasting his ve-
hement rhetoric in defending P. H. Ra-
hilly from the charge OF plagiarism.
The deadly parallel" used by the New
York Sun is enough to convict Pat of
literary theft. Il will not vindicate him
to say that he used quotation marks
when reciting the burning eloquence Of
the silver-tongued Dougherty. How
could the audience know that he was
using the little marks when he never
mentioned the name OF the Philadel-
phia orator? Dsnnelly's defense OF his
farmer friend is in vain, and we are
surprised that he does not keep silent
on the subject.

The British-Americans of Illinois will
cast their lot with the Republicans this

will give their support TO the party OF

Chicago the countrymen of Carl Schurz
rebuked the Republicans for Kissing the
resolutions offered in sympathy for the
Boer republics at the state convention

Hon. John G. Brown, of Duluth, is

Mr.. Brown should be sent. There is
no man in Minnesota who has labored
more zealously and disinterestedly for
the success Of Bryan Democracy than
he has. He has never asked any polit-

rendered, and he richly merits this
slight recognition for his fidelity to

The New York Sun says: Those Chi

foreigners, whether missionaries or not,
as their legitimate punching bags. Their
war cry is "China for the Chinese!" A

for Americans only!" which caused a
lot of trouble in this country fifty-odd
years ago.
