THE United States will withdraw
from China when peace is restored"
If what Secretary Hay says is true
there will be no danger of getting en-
broiled in European complications over
the partition of China. If the United
States does not enter into an engage
ment or alliance with any power for the
purpose of conquest or warfare beyond
what is necessary to protect its own
citizens, everything will be we'll; but if
triple alliance between England, Japan
and the United States is formed, as
advocated by C. K. Davis in his inter-
view with the London Daily Mail, then
the trouble OF this country will begin.
II favor treaty of alliance, including
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan" said the St. Paul lingo in De-
cenber, 90, ''for the protection OF all
their interests north OF the equator
The rest of the world would have a
wholesome fear synonymous with re-
spect for u.s." At that time Senator
Davis voiced the sentiments OF the adj
ministration and expressed the views OF
President Mckinley, and up to date he
has not repudiated the interview
ascribed to him by the British Tory or
gan OF spoliation and conquest.
We believe that the powers are deter
mined to divide China and reduce the
empire to the level of a South American
republic. They will demand territory
for indemnity, and the imperialist party
in this country will urge the emperor of
the Philippines to insist on large slice
of land as compensation for American
losses, which are already ten men killed
and thirty-seven wounded, according to
a cablegram to the navy department
from Admiral Kempff.
To protect the lives and property of
American citizens in China until peace
is restored. will require large army
and cost great many lives if the pow
ers undertake to gobble up the empire.
If the United States and England insist
on the integrity of the empire being
maintained, and Russia, Germany and
France favor partition of territory, a
war will probably ensue in which the
"Anglo-Saxon nations" will unite
against the others. Is it worth while
for this country to get into an interna-
tional struggle for the sake of few
thousand officials, tradesmen and mis-
sionaries scattered throughout the vast
empire? In Our opinion the United
States is treading on dangerous ground,
and if due caution is not exercised at
Washington, this republic will be par
ticipant in the greatest war in the
worlds history.
The Irish standard., 1900-07-07

These violations OF solemn pledges
have been accompanied by slack admin
istration and growing disregard of the
civil service law. The departure which
they mark in the attitude of great
party to vital reform is justly and
widely deplored. How wide that de-
parture is appears by simple compar-
ison between the platform of 1896 and
that OF this year. The perfunctory de-
claration at Philadelphia is in these
words:
eve commend the policy OF the Re-
publican party in maintaining the efic-
iency of the civil service. The admin
istration has acted wisely in its effort to
secure for public service in Cuba, Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine is
lands only those whose fitness has been
determined by training and experience"
The betrayal OF the merit system by
the present administration presents to
the Democratic party a great opportun-
ity. Its official record on this subject,
like that OF the Republican party prior
to 1896, contains much that is commend
able. The opportunity to step into the
breach and render great public service
is now presented to the Kansas City
convention. Will it be improved? Up
on its answer the presidential contest
may turn.

man. In 1892 it was persistently ru-
mored that Washington might decline
a second term and the Catholic signer
of the Declaration of Independence
was mentioned as his successor. Ham
ilton favored the Marylander in the
event OF Washington's declination.
Who could think of a Catholic for
president OF the United States at the
opening of the twentieth century? In
his famous address at the Catholic Con-
gress at Baltimore in 1885, the late Dan
iel Dougherty truly said of Catholics of
this country: ''We have been pro-
scribed at the ballot box. The highest
honors of the Republic are denied us
by prejudice that has all the force OF
a constitutional enactment" The
silver-tongued orator might have added
that the prescription extended to Prot
estant Americans, like Blaine and
Bland, whose mother or wife happened
to belong to the ancient creed.

The Wabasha Herald is responsible
for the following: Cup in Duluth there
resides a man whose name is Beriah
Magoffin. The name is a pretty one,
but it made all kinds of confusion in
the Democratic state convention, held
in Minneapolis last week. Just after F.
L. McGhee, the brilliant colored lawyer,
had concluded his speech some one
arose to nominate an alternate delegate
to the Kansas City Convention. and
named Beriah MagoAin. Another man
seconded the motion, but called the
name Uriah McGuffin. The next man
to second it called the gentleman Co.
liah McGofin, and finally the secretary
of the convention became little mixed
and announced the election of Marian
Begofin. At this point Hibernian dele
gate, who had been taking but little
interest, was heard to remark: What
kind of convention is this, at all, at
all? First they call on negro to make
4 speech and then they elect women as
delegates. The party's ruined, 50 it il.

and we see no reason for making any

and we see no reason for making any
retraction or apology.
The writer in the Irish Standard was
present at the labor meeting on Satur-
day night and, unlike DR.. Shutter, re-
manned to the close. He heard every
word that dropped from the lips Of the
preachers. DR.. Sample spoke chiefly
on the referendum, subject which is
political in its nature, but he made no
reference to party politics during the
discourse. Father Cleary spoke on
the eight-hour day from an economic
standpoint, and Rev. ]. S. Montgom-
cry mainly confined his remarks to the
evils of the "sweat-shops" of Boston
and New York. 1t is by mere
stretch of the imagination that any Of
the clerical speakers could be accused
OF talking politics at the meeting. No
Sensational expressions" were used by
them, and nothing was said that could
give intentional offense to "every fair
minded listener"
The Irish Standard has no desire to
NEEDLE in controversies between cler-
gymen. DR.. Shutter knows that the
laboring men are intelligent enough to
understand who their friends are among
the clergymen of this city. DR.. Shut
ter is not one of them, and that is why
he was not invited to speak. In the
days gone by he often adorned the ros-
trum in the cause of freedom, both ma
tional and industrial, but because of his
environment he is no longer the advo-
cate of human freedom or industrial
freedom, either in the pulpit or on the
platform. He says in his letter that
he does not understand what industrial
freedom means, and asks to be en-
lightened. If he takes deep interest
in the labor question he will soon know
what it is, and if he reads the Declara-
ton of Independence he will learn that
"all men are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, and that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" Ergo, the Fill
ipinos and Beers, as we'll as the Irish
whose cause DR.. Shutter so often ad-
vocated, are entitled to the liberty they
are fighting for against the Anglo
Saxon marauders of Great Britain and
the United States.

On his arrival in Paris Archbishop
Ireland was attacked by lie Journal in
very savage manner. The paper
tainted him with British sympathies,
and falsely declared that he was not
proper representative of the American
people to figure at the unwilling of the
Lafayette statue on the Fourth of July.
The fact is that Archbishop ireland is
worthy representative of the Amer
lean republic and has in his possession
letter from President Mckinley to the
French government recommending him
as being eminently qualified to repre-
sent the United States in the capacity
of orator on so memorable an occasion.
AS for his British sympathies they do
not burden the great prelate very much.
When in England last year it was re-
ported that he told Lord Salisbury he
could expect no American sympathy
until justice was granted to ireland BY
the British government.

HAYS ATTITUDE TOWARD CHINA.

AS if anticipating protest from the
Kansas City convention against becom-
ing entangled in foreign complications
over the Chinese affair, the secretary Of
state caused the news to be given out on
the Fourth of July that he had on the
previous day notified the European
powers and Japan of the attitude to be
assumed by the United States towards
the Chinese empire. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald
is authority for the statement that Sec
rotary Hay cabled to ambassadors and
ministers in European capitals and
Japan for submission to their respective
governments notification embodying
the following points:
"The United States does not recog-
nize the existence of a state of war.
'The United States has not sent troops
and ships to China to make war upon
her. They are sent to look out for
Americans and their interests, and to

In a letter to Cardinal Rampolla,
dated St. Paul, May rs, Archbishop
Ireland said: In the letter which
had occasion to write to the Duke OF
Norfolk, which was published in The
Tablet and other English papers, did
not say any single word on the temporal
power, the Roman Curia or the Roman
Congregations. In truth, never has a
word dropped from my open pen or my
lips in opposition to the ideas of the
Sovereign Pontif on the temporal
power. Thank God, I know my duty
as Christian and bishop we'll enough
to speak or think only as the Sovereign
Pontiff speaks and thinks on matter
of such moment and so intimately
bound tip with the life of Holy Church.

Rev. Charles Sheldon, who edited the
Topeka Capital for one week, is now in
Great Britain and this is what he says:
During the three weeks I have been
in Great Britain I have seen more
drunken men than had seen in twelve
years in Topeka" We are curious to
know what the Kansas preacher will
say of Ireland. The late Leslie E.
Kelley, of bichloride OF gold fame, de-
clared that the Emerald Isle was the
most temperate country in Europe. Yet,
strange to say, those who have never
been in the island speak of the Irish as
nation Of drunkards. They are guilty
of calumny when they say so and re-
peat an English lie.

In splendid editorial on the Chinese
imbroglio the National Waterman
asks: What reply can the American
missionary make to the Chinaman when
he points him to the Philippines, where,
seven thousand miles from our west
ern shores, sixty thousand Amer
lean soldiers are engaged in depriving
Christians of liberty, and deluging their
land liz blood in the name of trade
while we have made a treaty with the
Sultan of Sulu and taken polygamy,
slavery and Mohammedanism under the
protection of that flag which but a
short time ago was an inspiration to
every human being beneath the sun to
strive for liberty and was the proud in
sigma of nation whose government
rested upon the teachings of the Prince
of Peace?
