to believe that the country which has
given so many millions of Irish men
and women a home will ever be so
false to it's traditions as to compromise
knowingly with the Internal spirit of
wholesale robbery and rapine which
has triumphed at the British elections.
The voters of the United States will
give their decision in few days. Ac-
cording to- the party men, the issue is
purely local and American one, be-
tween Mckinley and Bryan. 1t is not
so. The issue affects the whole world.
If Bryan is elected Il warning will
have been given to England by the
nation whose friendship she most val
ues that in following her barbarous
policy in South Africa she is probably
laying up some just retribution. She
will be reminded in way that must
appear even to Mr.. Chamberlain that
piracy under the guise of statecraft is
no more honorable or admirable than
piracy ON the high seas. If, on the
other hand, Mckinley is elected, not
merely will the disastrous Philippine
experiment be persevered in and those
islands be kept for u further period in
their present condition Of anarchy, but
the spirit Of imperialism, both in Amer
lea and England, will receive an en-
dorsement which will stand as men
ace to human liberty for years to come.

The Catholic Standard and Times,
official organ of Archbishop Ryan Of
Philadelphia, pertinently says: Arch
bishop Ireland does not seem to at
tach much value to the principle of
secrecy in the ballot. He is now be.
fore the world with n specific state
ment us to which side shall have his
vote in the coming contest The dis
tinguished prelate is quite safe in so
doing; but it would not be safe in
every other case. The ordinary citi-
zen, if he be a wage-earner, might find
it n very costly indulgence for him in
the vast majority of cases. Arch
bishop Ireland, in this case, is Just the
same as any other citizen. All the
rest can vote as they please as we'll as
he, but they must, as a rule, forego
the desire to let the rest of the world
know what they intend to do in the
polling booths.

Lind, has performed the important
work Of increasing the valuation of
iron mines, street car lines and other
corporations to the amount of $9,0OO,-
600. By that one act the citizens of
Duluth, st. Paul and Minneapolis
have had their taxes on real estate re-
duced ten per cent. If Republican
occupied his place nothing of the kind
would have been done, as he would not
dare to defy the corporations. But
enough. The people know what he
has done and will make him his own
successor if they desire other reforms,
Let them elect state officers to aid him

cue the state from the party of cor.

DANIEL W. LAWYERS LETTER.

In imitation of the prominent poll
ticians of tile country, Hon. d. w.
Lawler, general counsel of the Chicago
and Great Western railway, has an
nounced how he is going to vote for
president next Tuesday. In order that
his announcement may get into the
imperial press for political effect he
addressed letter, by way of response,
to gold Democrat named Henry r.
Wells, attorney Mt law and proprietor
of the Bank Of Preston, MIMI, in
which he declares that 'this year we
can most faithfully discharge our duty
to the Democratic party and our coun-
try by voting for Mckinley ana
Roosevelt" Had Mr.. Lawler stopped
there the Irish Standard would have
no comments to make, for he has per-
feet right to vote as he pleases.
At the outset of his letter to Banker
Wells, Mr.. Lawler says: II am out of
politics and shall stay out, but in view
of your opinion that my old Democrat
ic associates are entitled to state
ment of my position desire to say
am a Democrat and not a Bryanite."
In one sense, Mr.. Lawler is out Of pol
tiles. The party that honored him In
1892 by making him heNnominee for
governor of this great commonwealth
will never again nominate him for any
office in its gift. Politically speaking,
Dan LAWYER is II dead duck and is out
of politics for the remainder Of his
life. In another sense he Is up to his
neck in politics and has no inclination
to,stay out We are credibly informed
that Mr.. Iawler is the author of the po..
litical editorial entitled "a Crime Re.
peated' which appeared in the st. Paul
Globe on the morning following Will
liam ]. Bryap's nomination for the
presidency Mt Kansas City. That arti-
Gle was condemned by the Democracy
of Minnesota and the Globe lost hun.

DOCTOR AMEs AND THE IRISH.

So much has been said of late con-
cerning the famous interview. of DR..
A. A. Ames about the Irish on his re-
turn from Europe in 1889, that as the
exponent of the principles of Irish
nationality and the advocate of self
government for Ireland, we deem it
our duty at this time, when he is can
didate for mayor, to place before our
readers the exact language attributed
to him on that occasion by report
er of the daily press, and which DR..
Ames admitted to be substantially cor
rect. Did we keep silent when a SIAN
derer of the Irish race was up for
office we would be unworthy of the
confidence reposed in us by natives of
the Emerald Isle and their descendants
In this great metropolis of~the North,
west.
Those who say, by way of extenua-
ton, that DR.. Ames was drunk and
confined his structures solely to the
Irish people on their native heath, must
remember that zone in name and one
in fame isthe ea-divided Gael" When
the Irish people at home are wantonly
and deliberately misrepresented and
vilified by an American politician he
should be held responsible for his ut
terances until he makes n proper apol-
ogy and retraction. Eleven years have
passed away, during which Dr. Ames
has been sober at intervals, and we
are not aware that he has yet rendered
the slightest apology for bearing false
testimony against gallant people who,
for seven centuries, have not bent their
necks meekly and submissively to the
yoke of slavery, but keep up the ire
pressible conflict for life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness" in the land
of their birth.
The fight was going on during DR..
Ames' brief visit and was conducted
by William Ewart Gladstone, the
greatest British statesman of the CEN
fury, and by Charles Stewart Parnell,
the greatest Irish statesman since the
days of Henry Grattan. Those two
men believed that the Irish people
were thoroughly able to govern them
selves in native parliament in Dub
lin; but DIR. Ames, thrice mayor of
Minneapolis and n chronic office seeker
all his life, deemed the Irish too ig-
norant and superstitious to manage
their own affairs, and believed Eng
land should continue to rule them
with rod of iron for several more
generations until they got sufficiently
educated for Home Rule. But we will
let the genial son of Esculapius talk
for himself in his famous interview
Il part of which from the Tribune Star
of Sept. 90, 1880, is as follows:

"Unprized are its sons till they learn


to betray.'
In his letter to the Preston banker,
Mr.. Lawler says: with a platform
framed on the principles of jefferson.
Tilden and Cleveland and with such
leader as David B. Hill we would
this year have won a victory, and
what is of vastly more Importance, 1t
would have been victory of which
no Democrat would have been
ashamed" Is Mr.. Lawler aware that
David B. Hill, whom he prefers as u
leader to Bryan, is to-day talking on
the stump for the Kansas City plat
form and the principles therein enun-
GATED? When asked the other day
what candidate he voted for in 1896
he vehemently answered it was Will
liam ]. Bryan. David B. Hill is a
Democrat who has never deserted his
party and he will be rewarded for his
fidelity in 1904. Such distinguished
Democrats as Richard Olney and
Bourke Cochran have followed Hills
example in repudiating the un-Ameri-
can policy of William Mckinley and
espousing what Mr.. Lawler contemp-
tuously calls Organism word
which is this year synonymous with
"Americanism," pure and undefiled.
The st. Paul railroad attorney in
Inmates that Stevenson was a copper
head during the Civil War and yet he
voted for him for vice president when
running with Cleveland. He also re-
fleets on the military record of Bryan
and speaks of Roosevelt as one "who
barred his breast to the bullets of Ell
Caney," but makes no mention of his
shooting Spaniard in the back. He
talks Of hauling down the flag in the
Philippines but says nothing of haul
ing it down in Alaska. He defends
McKinley's policy Of so-called neutral
ity while two little republics were be-
ing destroyed by the arch-robber of
the nations. He blames Bryan for the
war in the Philippines because he ia
vOred the ratification of the Paris
treaty, and winds up by saying that
Bryan and his managers would hail
with satisfaction the decisive defeat of
American soldiers in the Orient. He
says other foolish things of which he
ought to feel ashamed. In 1892 he
declared during the gubernatoriaa cam
wear no mans collar" but that was
before he received the appointment of
general counsel of railroad company
at a salary of ten thousand dollars a
year. The Democracy Is we'll rid Of

Editor Fitzgerald of Memphis, in an
editorial on Archbishop Ireland as a
Politician" has the. following to say
of his grace Of st. Paul: He believes
that as a great archbishop, which he
really is--if he only leaves politics
alone-his influence is so great that
thousands of faithful Catholic support
ers of Bryan. will wheel into line for
Mckinley when they read his effusion.
Allow us to say, Citizen Ireland, that
if you sincerely believe this you are
merely dreamer of idle dreams. Not
an American citizen. of the Catholic
faith will take his politics from you
not a single one. If you are trying to
use your influence as a Catholic prel-
ate with Catholic citizens to induce
them to vote for trusts and imperial
ism you are doing wrong and you
know it. Moreover, the Catholic voter
is intelligent enough to know that
when you dabble in politics it can only
be as citizen and not as bishop,
and you simply place yourself on q
level with other vote-soliciting poll
ticians.

A FORECAST,

But few days more and the ques-
ton will be settled whether William
Mckinley shall succeed himself or
whether the destinies of the nation
shall be placed in the hands Of that
magnificent American and beloved idol
of the people, William J. Bryan. We
believe the result will be the triumph
ant election of Mr.. Bryan. The Irish
Standard, taking up the different
states, offers the following as fore
cast of tile result: =
For Bryan-Alabama, IL; Arkansas,
8; California, 8; Colorado, 4; Delaware,
8; Florida, 4; Georgia, 10; Idaho, 8;
Illinois, "a; Indiana, IS; Kansas, 10;
Kentucky, ID; Louisiana, 8; MISSISSIPPI
pi, 8; Missouri, II; Montana, 8; Nebras-
ka, s; Nevada, 8; New York, SO; North
Carolina, IL; Ohio, %; South Carolina,
8; South Dakota, 4; Tennessee, u;
Texas, Is; Utah, 3; Virginia, -; West
Virginia, 6; Wyoming, 8; Maryland,
8. Total, 3O7.
For ley-Connecticut, 6; Iowa,
Is; Maine, 6; Massachusetts,. 10; Mich
igan, IA; Minnesota, 8; New Hamp-
shire, 4; New Jersey, 10; North Da-
kota, 3; Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, 80;
Rhode Island, 4; Vermont, 4; Washing
ton, 4; Wisconsin, -. Total, 14O.
The entire vote of the electoral col
lege is AL and a majority, or 224, is
necessary to elect. While the states Of
Ohio and perhaps South Dakota may
be considered somewhat doubtful for
Mr. Bryan, still they are no more so
than the states of Michigan and New
Jersey, which are here counted for
Mckinley. We do not believe the to-
tails will vary much from the above
figures. 5-

A report is being circulated in the.
interest of G. N. Dickey, clerk Of the,
district court, that his Democratic OPP
ponent, Luth Jaeger, was member
of the odious organization known as.
the A. P. A. In justice to Mr.. Jaeger,
whom we have known for many years
as an honorable gentleman, the Irish
Standard emphatically denies the
charge. We have a complete list of all
the members of that order and find
that Mr.. Dickey's own brother and
two assistant clerks in his office be-
longed to it. The name of Luth Jaeger
is conspicuously absent from the roll
of membership. In this connection, we
commend to the Democracy Mr.. Jae-
ger as candidate who is eminently
qualified to take the place Of Dickey
in the county Office he has filled for the
past eight years, at an enormous cost
to the taxpayers, if Republican papers
can be believed.

Though Cushman X. Davis, the lingo
senator from Minnesota, is confined to
his home in st. Paul by n poisoned
foot, he has been able to dictate for
the press an eulogy of the foreign
policy of the Mckinley administra-
ton. We look upon Davis as the most
dangerous conspirator against human
liberty on the American continent. He
Is utterly devoid of conscience and
principle and capable Of doing any
thing and everything in the interest Of
the plutocracy, Of which he is the
paid attorney.

John w. Arctander, Democratic can
didate for judge of the district court.
is entitled to the undivided support Of
the Democracy of the Fourth Judicial
District AS an attorney he has no
superior at the bar of Minnesota, and
members of the legal fraternity are
giving him their cordial support. That
he will be elected triumphantly over
his Republican opponent, Charles B.
Elliott; is foregone conclusion Ow-
ing to the unprofessional conduct of
Elliott toward Judge John HI. Steele,
many Republicans will contribute to
the victory of Mr.. Arctander next
Tuesday. Any attack upon him by Il
subsidized press will only add to his
majority.

The New Century, of Washington.
D. c., which is published close to the
White House, modestly claims it rep
resents the best Catholic sentiment,
and that "the best Catholic sentiment
ought to be entirely with the work Of,
enforcing law in the spirit of the Con-
stitution in the Philippines" Enforc--
ing McKinley's benevolent assimila-
ton" by the Krag-Jorgenson is not in:
accordance with the spirit of the Con-
stitution, dear Catholic contemporary,
and the best Catholic and Protestant
sentiment revolts against it. The New
Century thinks that the stories Of
'looting" have been exaggerated. It
may change its profound mind after
reading the letter of Catholic soldier
in the Philippines, published in to-
days Irish Standard. We vouch for
the veracfty of the writer, whom we
know from his boyhood..

In his Thanksgiving proclamation
President Mckinley calls on the peo-
pie Of the United States Mt home and
abroad to thank and praise Him "who
holds the nations in the hollow Of His
hand' for the blessings of the past
year. He exultingly says that "our
power and influence in the cause Of
freedom have extended over distant
seas and lands" His subjects in Porto
Rico and the Philippines, whom he
governs as despot, have no cause to
thank God for anything Mckinley has
done for them, but year hence they
win have cause to rejoice at their de-
liverance from his un-American rule.

Said Senator Hoar in his famous
speech on the Philippines "When
now they say to me that the Philip
pine Islands are ours, must say that
the Philippine Islands belong to the
Philippine people. say that the peo-
pie are entitled to such government
as they desire. When anybody tells
me that you should not haul down the
American flag, I say that you have
just hauled it down in Pekin and that
you are going to haul it down In Cuba.
There is one thing more sacred than
the flag and that is the sacramental
wine, emblematic for the blood she'd
for mankind, and the man who would
use the American flag in order to retain
possession Of land and its people
would for the same reason use the
sacramental wine for debauch."

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Freeman's Journal believes
that Archbishop Ireland has misquoted
the Pope in the interview given out by
his grace in favor of McKinleyism In
the American colonies. "If any court
prelate, or any hired man of this adj
ministration, he says, "dares to ar
raign the policy Of the Roman Gath
Ollie church against the doctrine that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed he
is misquoting the Sovereign Pontiff."

I, In his political interview favoring
the reelection of Mark Hanna's mort
gagged candidate, Archbishop Ireland
implied that Bryan is a disturber of
the. peace and an instigator Of arraying
class against class. Commenting on
his words the Chicago New World, the
official organ of Archbishop Feehan,
says: "When Caius Gracious gave his
life for the rights of the common peo-
pie of Rome, he was stirrer up of
class against class. When Daniel
O'Connell made his splendid struggle
to raise the masses in Ireland from
serfdom, he was instigating the masses
to struggle against the classes. When
the masses Of the people are suffering
from wrong and injustice, and when
their leaders incite them to assert and
obtain their rights, which party is in
justice to be held guilty for the heart
burning, the envy, the discomfort, and
the other evil passions that may be
aroused? Is it the party which has
caused and which profits by the
wrong, or the party which arouses the
people to protest against and to rene
dy the wrong? Mr.. Bryan is guilty in
the sense in which Grattan and O'Con-
nell and Bright and Gladstone We're
guilty, and in no other sense
