Quoth Father Lambert in the Free
mans Journal: "The printers devil, or
his particeps criminis,, the proofreader,
made Father Beuckman, in his article
on Celibacy, credit one of his quotations
to Gibbon, whereas it should have been
credited to Cardinal Gibbons. We once
suggested the electric chair as prophy-
Tactic against careless proofreaders, but
like the hero OF Manila, we have
changed our mind, and now think the
dunedin bullet equally efficient, and
preferable, as being less expensive"
Our clerical friend is too severe on the
prooireader, who is usually blamed for
all the typographical plumbers. The fact
is that the man who sets the type is the
fellow who is guilty in nine cases out oil
ten. After the proofreader hands in the
revised proof for the last time with all
mistakes marked, he expects the printer
to correct as directed The printer does
not do so, and the proofreader is as
mad as halter when he sees the errors
he marked stare him boldly in the face
when the paper comes from the press
Very often when correcting slight
mistake the printer makes bigger one
and thus it goes

inbued with republican principles dur
ing their residence in the United States
The Democratic national convention
will undoubtedly pass resolutions in
favor Of Boer independence but it
is not probable that it will call
upon Mckinley ito intervene strongly
in behalf OF President Kruger" as the
Spectator says. The people in mass
meetings have frequently called upon
Mckinley to interfere and put stop to
the war, but he could not consistently
act as peacemaker while conducting
a similar war of spoliation and conquest
in the Philippine Islands. No, the
Democrats will not ask Mckinley to use
his good Offices to bring the war in
Africa to an end, for we'll they know
how he feels on the subject.
The Spectator is not mistaken in be-
lieving that Great Britain will cut big
figure in this years campaign, and my
Lord Paunccfote had better preserve his
temper and keep out of American poll
tics. The coming contest will decide
whether we are to have republic or 4
monarchy on this western continent
From all indications the people are not
yet tired of republican institutions nor
OF the principles enunciated in the
Declaration OF Independence. Their
servants, who have traitorously tram
pied on Jefferson's gospel Of liberty and
the constitution OF their country, will
be driven from public life for the rest OF
their days and "a government Of the
people, by the people, and for the people
shall not perish from the earth" The
London papers had better attend to
British politics and leave the people of
this country to settle their own affairs.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Freeman's Journal states
that Mrs. Dewey, wife OF the admiral,
has left the Catholic church and en-
rolled herself as an Episcopalian. She
was born in the Presbyterian sect On
marrying General Hazen she became an
Episcopalian. After his death she
turned toward tleosophy. Getting tired
OF occult devotions she entered the Ca
tlolic fold. Mgr. Capel is said to have
inclined her toward Catholicity She
was married to the admiral in the Ca
tholic faith. Concluding his account OF
Mrs. Dewey's change of religion, the
correspondent says: 1T is to be hoped
that the American people are sick of
dragging women into the hurly-burly OF
political contests. Ii the Protestants
will let Mrs. Dewey enjoy her faith
without comment, surely the Catholics

has been denied. Theoretically, the Brit
ish Sovereign is above party. Actually
the Crown, through all those channels
of influence which radiate round the
Court, has very considerable measure
of political power. Queen Victoria, like
her predecessors, has always thrown the
Court influence against the aspirations
OF the Irish people. In 1860 she op-
posed Church Disestablishment. In 1880
her Majesty endeavored to prevent the
Gladstone ministry that passed the
Land Act and the Franchise Act from
being formed. In 1886, as her pub
lished letter to Lord Tennyson shows,
her personal influence was arrayed
against the great and wise policy of the
last Great Englishman." When the
story of Gladstone's retirement in 1904
and OF Lord Rosebery's fatal. premier
ship comes to be written, the part
played by the Court in the intrigue will
be found to have been considerable.
Outside home affairs the Court policy
has been less out OF sympathy with
Irish sentiment.
Thus, whatever Constitutional Ma
tionalists may think of ''the Golden link
OF the Crown" and however they might
accept the symbol of Imperialism condi-
toned by local freedom for the personal
influence of the Queen in their affairs
they can have no more regard than for
that OF those predecessors of hers who
resisted the Cancellation of ireland by
all the authority left to the Crown un-
der the existing Constitution. Such
considerations have chilled the recep-
ton rendered to the Queen in the
streets of Dublin.

Father Phelan, the gold-standard edi-
tor Of the Western Waterman, is not
particularly charmed with Emperor
Mckinley, In recent issue of his paper
he says: "The president is busy giving
excuses for not having appointed one
Catholic on the Philippine commission.
His excuse for not having appointed a
Catholic on the Paris treaty commission
was that Judge White declined to serve
He declined to serve under the instruc-
tons given him by the president. Per-
haps the same reason would now pre-
vent any Catholic serving on the Philip
pine commission. What Mckinley does
not know about the Catholic religion
would make very large circulating
library"

The Mckinley administration is
forcing the English language on the
Cubans to whom independence was
pledged by the American congress. The
Cubans have an instructive aversion to
English and want to use Spanish. Col.
Drake, who recently returned from the
island, says the natives have their sus-
picions OF our government. He says
that in Havana, where the only Eng
disappearing colony on the island is,
English is taught in all the schools, and
every afternoon the children sing the
American patriotic songs in English.
Cuban children ought to sing their own
songs in their own language during the
American occupation. 1t is time enough
for them to sing America" and the
Star Spangled Banner" when the is
land becomes a Mckinley colony like
Porto Rico.

Celt is not satisfied! In order to under

In an editorial upon Victoria's visit
in Ireland the Chicago Tribune re-
marks: There is a curious and encour-
aging contrast between the visit OF
Queen Victoria to Ireland and that OF
King George w. in 1921. Though King
George was thoroughgoing reprobate,
the most unprincipled and dissolute OF
all the Georges, he was greeted in Ire
land with unmeasured and ELUSIVE
adulation. Queen Victoria, model OF
virtue and womanly propriety, is now
greeted with reasonable and respect
ful cordially, but without a trace OF
what could be called toadyism, and
even with some signs of cool reserve.
The amazing wave of sycophancy that
swept over Ireland in 1921 and envel-
oped the unsavory king in blarney is
happily conspicuous by its absence.

The following resolution, offered by
Timothy Harrington, M. P, in the
Dublin city council, was carried by a
vote of 40 to 9: THAT inasmuch as a
section of the unionist press in Great
Britain and ireland have interpreted the
vote OF the council to present an adj
dress OF welcome to her majesty as an
abandonment of our claim for national.
'selt-government, this council, assembled
on the centenary of the passing of the
act OF union, hereby declares that this
act was obtained by fraud and shameful
corruption; that the people of the coun-
try can never give to the system of gov
eminent so established their loyal sup
port and that so far as the vast body of
the people are concerned there will be
neither contentment nor loyalty in this
country until our national parliament is
restored"

Mrs. Albert Victim, of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha, alias Queen Victoria, rides
through Phoenix Park in a wagonettc
attached to milk white donkey. Let
us hope that this famous quadruped of
the equine genus will not become an
object OF worship by the Irish flunkeys
after the departure OF her majesty from
Erin's Isle. The British correspondents
IN their enthusiasm forgot to mention
whether this bearer of royalty is he
ass or she-ass. If the former, his
elongated auricular appendages ought
to be decorated with the union jack and
the Scotch thistle, while his tail should
be ornamented with an orange ribbon.
We think there is nothing Irish about
the stupid animal, or he would not be
honored SO highly.

BRITISH PRESS FOR MCKINLEY.

Not long since we commented on al
article in the London Post attacking
VIM. ]. Bryan and stigmatizing the
Declaration of Independence as tissue
OF blatant plattudes too ridiculous for
a Western Cowboy" which the Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency was
cxtolling as the grandest document that
ever emanated from the pen OF states
man. The Tory paper in the modern
Babylon ridiculcd the proposition that
all men are created equal and de-
clared that such clap-trap is not appre-
ciated at the end OF the nineteenth cen-
fury in the land Of Jefferson, and there
fore Colonel Bryan with all his oratory
could not impose on the American peo-
pie by such anarchistic utterances. It
declared that the intelligent citizens OF
the western republic had more advanced
ideas than those promulgated by Thorn
as Jefferson and advocated by VIM. J..
Bryan and that the party of which
VIM. Mckinley is the standard bearer
should be retained at the head OF affairs
for another term.
The other day another London organ
of the British government, the Specta-
tor, contained an editorial on American
politics which was cabled across the At
lantic for the benefit OF the American
people in the coming national CAM
paign. 1t calls on the British people to
keep their tempers for the next few
months because it happens that the
pivot of the next election in this country
will be the relation oil the United States
to Great Britain, and in the frenzy Of
the campaign very hard things will be
said. 1t then continues: MIR. BRYAN
and his supporters will perhaps pass
resolutions in the Democratic conven-
ton calling upon the government to in
tervenc strongly in behalf OF President
Kruger, who, either by instinct or Graf
tness, always appeals to them through
literature which they know best-thc old
testament. We shall have shower of
hard words from their side which may
be even difficult and perplcxed argu-
lnent to maintain through Lord Pauncc-
fote."
The Spectator, OF course, knows that
Mr.. Mckinley is pro-British in the ex-
IRENE, but he is sure to conceal his pre-
elections and do nothing to show that
he and the Republican leaders arc
friends of Great Britain. "T4,e better
