The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1900-04-07

OCCASIONAL warnings COlllc ACROSS luC
Atlantic against the rashness which too
often impels large numbers OF young
men and maidens, without compulsion
of circumstances, to leave Ireland as if
it were sinking ship. In former times
most Irish emigrants were left no
choice, but driven forth regardless Of
the fate that awaited them. This is the
case with some still; and some are en-
ticcd away by seductive promises; but
with many the impelling force is the
restlessncss OF youth intensified no
doubt by the dearth of congenial occu-
pations and the narrow range of choice.
The warnings arc uttered in the spirit
ual and temporal interests of probable
emigrants no less than in the interest
OF Ireland. Young, raw, and without
skill or money, they precipitate them
selves into the communities for which
they are most unfit, and by whose
modes OF life they have had no previous
conception. For lack OF skill they
must accept. if they can obtain, the
lowest occupations. Many Of them,
failing to get even the lowest or any
means OF an honest livelihood, drift into
prisons and places OF still greater
shame. According to a certain class Of
English Sangrados, self-stylcd philan-
thropists. the continued drain OF young
blood and brain from this country is
the. one and only remedy for all Ire
lands ills; our youth, strength, and
talent are proper to be spent in any
land but our own; and Ireland's mil
lennium cannot arrive until all the Celts

come to stay.
Farmers are getting things in
shape for spring planting.
J. & G. Cresswe!l are smelling
a considerable amount of mineral
this week, and are doing a thriy-

W. c. Declue & Co. have been

from their mine near here.
Mrs. Ella Todd visited relatives
in this vicinity the past week.
Misses Zoe Martin and Sadie

National growth differs only ac-
cording to the party under which
it occurs. When the Democrats
added to our territory it was called
legitimate expansion, but when
ever the Republicans extended the
boundary lines the Democrats de-
nounced it as an act of imperialism.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
Democratic who favors national
growth. said the other day 'that
no bounds to our territory were
set by the constitution" He well
consed the addition of the Philip
pines, and said: '1f can find no
man who is entitled to the credit

The FilIplnos and the Democrats.

The news which comes from
Manila that the Filipinos are look
ing fol Democratic success in the
United States next November, and
that consequently they are going to
continue their rebellion until that
time, will hardly surprise the
country. The only reliance which
Aguinaldo ever had was on victo-
ry for the Democratic party in
some important election. 1t was
Democratic hostility to the govern
ment which at first melted him to
make war on the United States.
1t was his assumption that the
Democrats would make great gains
in the state elections last fall that
kept the rebellion alive until that
time.
1t appears that Notwithstanding
all the evidences Of Democratic
feebleness which Aguinaldo and
the rest of the world have seen in
the past year or two the rebel
chief has still some hope that his
friends in this country may carry
the election this year. The threats
and boasts which the Democratic
organs and politicians have been
making in the past twelve or fif-
teen months, though not taken Sc
riously by any sane person in the
United States, are avidently de-
luding the Filipino insurgents.
They imagine that the Democrats
are going to elect the President
and Congress to be chosen this
year. Consequently they are 90
ing to, or will attempt to, keep up
their guerrilla warfare until after
the election eight months hence.

Ex-Governor VIM. j. Stone has

influences out of Democratic poll
tics. Stone is evidently seized with
these sudden spasms of virtue by
exigencies of circumstances. The

30 hong been surrounded by corpor-
ate influences that it has become a

This IS one OF the reasons why
Democratic disaster is :,s certain to
come in the election this year as
anything in the political! future can
be. A party which is indorsed by
every enemy which the country
has in any part of the world is
certain to get overwhelmingly
beaten when the fact is made
known. 1t has been made so plain
that Bryan. Gorman and the rest
of the Democratic chiefs were the
cause of the Aguinaldo uprising
thirteen months ago, that no rea-
sonable person anywhere has any
doubt on that point. 1t is also
known that the expectation that
Bryan and Gormans party would
win in the state elections last No
vember that nerged the rebels to
continue their struggle after the
crushing defeats given them by
Otis and his men in the fighting in
Febrary and March, 1899, III the
neighborhood of Manila. Aguin-
aldo and his fellow-rebels are
again praying fol the success of
the ''great party" led by their
American champion. The defeat
which the Democracy is booked to
get next November will crush two
enemies to the United States in
different parts Of the world-Bryan
and Aguinaldo.- Democrat.

The Democrats, that is such who

making great effort to get con-

a sneaking rear assault upon the
protective tariff which has restored
our national prosperity since the

LIZ oOC hNAL.
One day in August during the
campaign of 1892 at picnic given
at Cresswcll's store, a certain Dem
ocratic candidate for Representa-
tive mounted the stand to make Il
speech in support Of his candidacy.
After taking off his hat and max
ing very elaborate bow to the
eager crowd, he opened up by
asking the great question, ''What
ails the Republican party! l be-
long to that class of men," said he
''who diagnose diseases, but as a
diagnostician / am utterl y unable
to tell what is the matter with the
Republican party. 1t is in COM
atose state and is evidently dying.
it may be, from an overdose of
something on the free list consist
ing of acorns, parched and I'M
parched, ground and unground."
He went on to tell of the different
parties that had fought the great
Democratic party and still the
Democratic party lived and thriv
ed.
Now it seems to me that the
question might be asked with all
candor, what ails the Democratic
partys The country took an over
whelming dose of Democracy in
the fall Of '92 and in return the
party gave us an enormous dose
of free trade, so huge that it stop
ped the wheels of nearly all indus
tries and flooded the country with
unemployed. When the party saw
that free trade was not efficacions
any longer it turned round and
took gigantic dose Of free silver
at 16 to and 'Sbusted.
Now l am constrained to think
that the Republicans should i'm
mediately organize and march in
solid body to the funeral of the
dead Democracy, which takes
place in November, 1900, and see
to it that it is buried beyond the
hope CT resurrection. l firmly be-
lieve that if the Republicans of
this county and of the state will
get together we will come out
with flying colors, and see Missou-
ii redeemed from the corrupt ring
which has infested the state capi-
tol at Jefferson City for so many
years. "A REPUBLICAN.

Opposition to Ship Subsidy.
The democratic minority of the
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries has presented to the house
a report in opposition to the ship
subsidy bill. 1t is a splendid docu-
ment. They point out that not only
is our foreign trade steadily increas-
ing but that every shipyard in the
country is in full operation without
the aid of the subsidy and that there
fore the subsidy is unnecessary. Only
about five per cent. of the total ton
mage of the world is not subsidized,
and it is a hopeless task to lower
freight rates by such a subsidy bill
as is proposed when nine-tenths OF
that subsidy will go to passenger and
| mail steamers. The unfortunate his.
tory of American ship subsidies is
quoted to show the fallacy of the
scheme and attention is called tc
the fact that no assistance whatever
would be given to the navy by these
subsidized vessels except on exactly
the same terms that they can b.
bought now, by paying the ship own
ers exactly what they demand for thu
ships, far in excess of their actua
worth.
