AN ANGLO-AMERICAN UNION.

We publish elsewhere in today's issue
an interesting letter on this subject
from Mr.. Geo. Wilson, president of the
Lafayette County Bank at Lexington,
Mo-, who informs lis in supplementary
note that on the mothers side he be-
longs to the Washington family, and on
the fathers side lie is OF Irish stock who
participated in the Revolutionary war.
Mr.. Wilson is one OF the leading citi-
zens of Lexington, and two years ago
was candidate for congress in the
Kansas City district now represented
by William S. Cowherd. He has ev-
identity read the history Of the legis-
lative union between Great Britain and
Ireland in 1900 when the members OF
the Irish parliament by bribery and
corruption voted away the constitution
OF their own country and committed
national suicide. ,..tt al, ,..i... +,.z
In common with the majority OF the
American people Mr.. Wilson is, op-
posed to any union or alliance between

sOUPERISM IN PORToER1Co.

The elderly readers Of the Irish
Standard who came from Ireland will
recollect the persistent efforts made by
British sectarian societies to rob the
Catholic poor of Ireland OF their faith
during the awful famine years at the
beginning of the queens reign when a
million and half Of the population died
OF hunger and were cast into cofinless
graves. The faithful Irish people who
had adhered to the Catholic religion in
spite of every persecution were on the
verge Of starvation when the temntcrs
came and offered them relief on condi-
ton of becoming Protestants. What the
British evangelizers brought them was
soup and Bibles, but they were rejected,
ard the victims of British misrule went
to their graves ratl,er than accept them
in lieu OF their holy faith. A few of
them for the time being, in order to
prolong lie, partook Of the cheap cor
poral nourishment, but the great ma
jority OF the famine stricken people pre-
ferred death to life at the sacrifice OF
their religion. The prelates and priests
OF Ireland guarded their flocks from the
British wolves, and the dispensers OF
Bibles and soup we're frustrated in their
work of proselytism.
The same kind of evangelization is
being carried on by American Protest
ants to-day in the little island of Porto
Rico, which is causing SO much bicker-
ing and discussion among the leaders OF
the Republican partyatthe present time.
The inhabitants of the ex-Spanish pos
session are in sore distress owing to the
destruction OF their crops by the recent
cyclone which swept the island, and the
Protestant missionaries see good
chance OF converting them from the
"superstitions of Rome" to the light OF
the gospel. The Mcthodists, Presby-
terians and Baptists are taking advan-
tage OF their poverty to make them
apostates Government money is being
used by them for the purpose, as the
following extract from report OF
Protestant missionary board unqucsi
tionably shows: i,.e 5essJ
,"Our work is in charge of the Rev.
H. P. Mccormick, for the northern part
of the island, at San Juan, and the Rev.
A. B. Rudd in the southern part, at
Ponce. Both are greatly encouraged
with their labors. After the cyclone Mr..
mccormick visited all the northern part
OF the island as a government agent in
distributing supplies to the sufferers,
and Mr.. Rudd, spent month in the
same service in the southern part. This
gave them both an exceptional oppor-
tunity to become we'll acquainted with
the condition of the people not only
economically and socially, but religious
'ly. In general, the people seem eager
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1900-03-31

to hear Protestant preaching, but this
is more especially true of the southern
part of the island" ''F p-is.'t
Mccormick is Baptist appointed by
the government to distribute relief to
the cyclone sufferers, and while on his
GRAND of mercy he reports that Gin gen
eral the people seem eager to hear
Protestant preaching" That implies
that he breaches to them on his peregri-
nations while distributing supplies.
Rudd is doing the same sort of work
in another part OF the island, that is,
he is preaching to the hungry while dis
trlbutlng food as government agent,
and ne appears to be more successful
i'll his mission than is Mccormick.
We think the Jealous agents of Nc
Nnley are too eager in preaching Prot
testantism to the Catholic natives OF the
island, and we think it shame for the
administration to permit them to inter-
tere with the religious convictions of the
people while dispensing supplies to re-
lieve their bodily wants. Cannot any
others but Protestant missionaries be
put in charge of the relief work OF the
government? While congress is torn tip
over free trade or tariff for the island
the inhabitants, whether they are "citi-
zens," Subjects" or wards" should be
protected in the free exercise of their
religion. The government may own the
bodies OF the Porto Ricans, but it will
not claim that it owns their souls. Why
then are these representatives of Prot
testant denominations let loose upon a
Catholic people in the capacity OF gov
eminent agents? The Catholic prelates
who are supposed to have the ear Of the
Methodist occupant OF the White House
ought to enter a strong protest against
the methods. pursued by his agents in
the Catholic island which he seized by
force of arms in the name of liberty
and humanity.

The special correspondent OF the
Dublin Freeman in Cape Colony has
the following to say OF the Irish Brig
ade i'll the Boer army: "The brigade
was in the field in that dashing attack
upon Ladysmith when three rows OF
the British trenches were quickly cap
tured, and which only failed because the
Bocr advance ranks were not properly
supported. l have no doubt that the
Irish boys will get their opportunity be-
fore the war is over. They are exceed
ingly popular with the Boer COM
manders, who have paid them high
compliments, and the name of Ireland
is passport to friendship and kindness
with the Dutch people everywhere in
South Africa"

therefore, they had an undoubted right

generous enemy who had won the ad-


generous enemy who had won the ad-
mlration of friend and foe by his mill
tary achievements and his regard for
the usages of civilized warfare. The
dead hero will be sadly missed by his
compatriots at this time when his SER
vices were most needed. He was I'm
doubtedly the military genius of the
war whose tactics astonished the world.
Who his successor will be is not yet GER
tain. Generals Botha and Schalken-
burger are mentioned, and so also is
Paul Kruger, but it is improbable that
the aged president of the republic is
physically able to command in the field.
There are other generals, such as DIV
ier, Delarey, Groblaar, Lemner and
Dewet, but they have not yet particu-
larly distinguished themselves. The
first two, however, are generals of rec
ognized ability. The mastery retreat
OF Olivier from Natal to form juno
ton with the Boer forces at Kroonstad
is looked upon by military experts as a
most brilliant and daring achievement,
for he successfully evaded French's cav
airy despite the fact that his ammuni-
ton and provision wagons drawn by
slow oxen, extended over distance OF
thirty-fvc miles through mountain
Gus region.
Though deprived OF two of their best
generals, one by capture and the other
by death, the Beers are still determined
to resist the British invaders, and the
thought of surrender has not entered
their heads. The British are quite eau
tious, knowing the character of the enc
my opposing their progress towards
Pretoria. The latest news is that the
Beers have 10000 men still under arms,
and foreigners are pouring into the
Transvaal from all parts of Europe to
help them against the British.
A dispatch from London says that
Joubert had been killed off so often by
newspaper correspondents during the
war that nothing short of a coroner's
inquest will satisfy incredulous and sus-
picious Englisfmcn that he is really
dead, But there appears to be no doubt
that he has passed away. What he
succumbcd to was an attack of peri
tonitis. He was sixty-eigllt years old.
1t has been stated that he was an Amer
lean by birth and had fought with
Stonewall Jackson in the Civil war, but
the truth is that he was born in Cape
Colony of French Huguenot parents,
WHO took him to the Orange Free State
when seven years OF age: where he
learned to hate the British. He lived
for while in Natal and thence went to
the Transvaal, where he engaged in wars
against the blacks. He became bo-
som friend OF Paul Kruger and was
elected vice president of the republic.
1t was he who defeated the British at
Majuba Hill. Later on he organized
the army, and made every man 4
trained soldier without leaving his
farm. So perfect was his military sys-
tenn that within forty-eight hours after
Kruger's ultinatum to the British the
Boer nation was under arms and ready
to march against the foe. The death
of Gen. Pietrus Jacobus Joubert has
brought pang of sorrow to the heart
OF every lover of liberty, and his name
will live forever in the annals OF South
Africa.
