Archbishop Ireland's Views

american prestige would suffer in
Europe should the democrats succeed in
electing their presidential candidate
This is the conviction Of Archbishop Ire-
land, expressed yesterday at the Great
Northern hotel. \
The archbishop. who has just returned
from Europe, declares the United States
was never held in higher estimation than
now by the nations of the old world. but
that a change of administration at this
time would be interpreted to mean that
the people lay no confidence in their
own institutions. :
The archbishop also denied that
Catholic interests would suffer by Ameri-
can occupation of Cubs and the Philip
pines.
The pope, he said. had given him per-
sonal assurance of his friendliness for
the United States and had asked him to
thank President Mckinley in his name
for is being lone. United States
occupation. he said, is the protection Of
the church
One thing this struck me forcibly
while I was abroad" said the archbishop,
lis the high estimation in which America
Is held by the people of all European ma
tons. AS never before this country is
recognized on all sides as a great nation,
and respect Is accordingly awarded to 1t.
Our agricultural and Industrial pro-
ducts have invaded every mart. The
future developments in our relations
with foreign countries cannot be other
wise than surprising to our own selves.
Our great military and naval strength nc
one doubts. Our ministers to foreign
courts are treated as the representatives
of the highest powers.
"While observing such facts, 1 became
also conscious that a reversal through
our next presidential election of policies
that have lifted us up in such prominence
will be interpreted by foreign nations as
an indication of unsettled conditions in
ourown country and of changeableness of
political and commercial opinions and
would result in lowering us immensely in
the estimation in which we are now held
by foreign countries.
II have read in different papers the
arguments thrown out for the purpose of
turning away Catholic voters from the
republican party to the effect that
Catholic interests have much to suffer
under American occupation in the Philip
pines and Cuba.
ITO all such arguments I give one and
the same reply. In Rome, where
Catholic interests in those countries are
we'll understood, there is entire satisfac-
ton as to the attitude of the American
government toward those interests. II
the authorities in Rome are satisfied, Why
would not the Catholics in America be
satisfied?

JONES AND

Mr.. spellbinder Jones. of Spokane Falls
is a most entertaining speaker. The bene-
ficient policies Of the republican party
are discouraging to democratic oratory
this year, and his own state of Washing-
ton Is more prosperous than ever before
In ~nsequen Of the oriental market
which the republican party is opening up
for the benefit of Pacific coast agricul-
ture. Mr.. Jones, however. Is not a farmer,
but a lawyer, n therefore has only,
talent to dispose Of. This he brings to
the Montana market where it doubtless
commands a good price. owing. also, to
republican prosperity which has given
value to our copper mines and led to eN-
pensive litigation in which he hopes to
participate. In the meantime he is SPELL
binding the state, and last night talked
about the Standard Oil company. In this
he was unfortunate. as the Standard Oil
trust was in existence when Bryan and
Joe Toole We're in congress and yet
neither of them ever opened his mouth
or raised a hand against it. AS to the
statement that the Standard Oil trust
owns mines in Montana. that is an error
of fact, though it is true that some of the
Standard Oil magnates own a big
block of Amalgamated. if not in the
allied concerns. But so does Marcus
Daily. So does John McGinniss. who sat
within ten feet of Mr.. Jones last night
on the public rostrum. Does the fact that
McGinniss own $4,000 of this so-called
STANDARD Or stock make a Standard
company out of the NJ. o. P. CON
Germ. Of which he is Father Confessor'
and political manipulation? And yet i. is
quite as much so as the other compa-
MES are because of the fact that Mr..
Rogers owns some of their shares.
The fact is the fusion crowd is going
Standard Oil mad. In their waking mo-
ments they go about the treet crying
standard Oil! Standard OH" In their
sleep they dream they are being dipped in
boiling Standard oil. They shudder when
they see a bottle of vaseline and cry out
aloud when they enter a house where
coal oil is used for purposes of illumina-
ton. They have stopped putting oil on
their hair. They refuse to ride in a bug
gy If it's wheels have been creased. They
have tabood the toothome olive because
1T produces oil which is as greasy as
Standard oil. They would faint dead
away if they should accidentally step on
a piece of oil cloth. They have Standard
Oil on the brain. lit is a horror to them.
Some of them are ready to join the pro-
h1bition party because they say water is
the only thing which will not mix with
Oil. 1t is a dreadful thing that a politi-
cal party should be willing to close down
mines which pay out SIS, 900, 600 a year for
age all because some of their share
holders own stock in the Standard Oil
company. Yet that was the burden OF
the song of the Eloquent Jones and the
indignant MeGinniss before the people
OF Butte last night. t

In one of the audiences which he
s~raciously granted me, the pope said:
I'VE are we'll pleased with the relation
of the American government to the
church in Cuba and the Philippine ISL
ands The American government gives
proof of good will, and exhibits in it's
acts a spirit of justice and of respect
for the liberty and the rights of the
church. The reports we receive from
bishops and others indicate this. Diff
culties of detail occur as a consequence
OF war and of newness of conditions.
But we understand such things, we have
confidence in the intelligence and the
spirit of justice of the American govern
ment, INT believe that the future will
not lead us to a change OF sentiment to-
ward 1t. Under the American govern
ment there will be due respect for rights
of property n conscience. You will
thank In my name the president of the
republic for what is being DONE
"The Cardinal Secretary of State RAM
polla, on my telling him of my conversa-
ton with the pope, said that the state
ments made to me by the pope were such
as he. from his personal knowledge
be1ef, was ready to repeat, and that I
was at liberty to make them known to
the American people at large.
The cardinal said, furthermore, that
oH no less tnan three uffTerent occasions
petitions were sen to the Vatican in the
name of the Filipino leaders to have
opened between them and the Vatican
direct official relations. but that the Vat
lean always refused to listen to such
petitions out of consideration for the
American government.
THE church, said the cardinal needs
inCuba and the Philippines the co-opera-
Ito n OF the American government for the
protection Of it's rights and liberties, as.
indeed, the American government needs
the cooperation of the church for the
pacitication of those countries
Cardinal Gotti, before his elevation
to the ~cardinalate, had been superior
general Of the Carmelite monks, and had
established in Cuba antecedently to the
American occupation three houses of the
order. He said to me:
~ received a few DAYS ago letters
from several Carmelite houses in Cuba.
Inc fathers told me that they enjoyed
under the present administration of the
island full liberty; that they nave undis-
turbed possession of all their properties:
that they We're never in better position
to labor for the progress of religion and
the salvation of SOULS
"A a plain mater of fact" concluded
Archbishop Ireland, 1.-THE only safety
which the Catholic church at the present
time has in the Philippines for the poses
sion of her properties and for the lives of
her priests is the protection afforded by
the American flag, and all this is fully
understood and fully recognized in

BratnOber Tells About CAPITAL.

A I told Heinze yesterday, I've seen
the time in the years. OFF and on that I've
been in Montana. when the people We're
mighty glad to have outside capital here
to buy their mines, develop their roper
ties and build reduction works and make
the state and it's people prosperous" was
the answer to Henry Bratnober gave to
a question asked him by The Record at,
the Montana club.
Mr.. Bratnober Is well known to all old
time Montanans. AS a mining expert and
he a been interested with
Montana men in the development of the
country. 1t was he who financiered the
Drnmlummou deal that brought millions
into the state and gave to Lewis and
Clarke county what with development
proved for a time to be tne greatest gold
mine in the world. 1t was Henry Brat
nober who negotiated the sale of the Em-.
pire to outside capitalists of means suf-
ficient to pay a good price to it's Montana
owners, and expend large sums in devel-
oping it and giving employment to men.
1t was he, who later on. secured the capt.
tai that took UP the Elkhorn mine, one
of the great silver sulphide propositions
Of its time. He worked placer diggings
on his own account in the early days. No
man has greater faith in the future OF the
state than has Mr.. Bratnober. No Mon
n is better NOV among old-time
M~ontanans.
MAKE MONTANA A DESERT.
'"The.. are going to make a desert of
Montana If they keep on pumping it nto
everybody who invests a dollar in a mine
here Mr.. Brtanober went on. 1.-THE
thing that is needed is men with monet to
buy the mines of the state and develop
them. It's obvious that the purchase
money for properties of the kind goes to
the owners Of the claims and that they
are benefited by the expenditure. The
people of Montana have ever since I've
been here been anxious ito secure the in
vestment of capital. Now, they won't get
it If they treat capital as an enemy as
soon as it gets an investment. When we
find a concern that has unlimited means
to spend for legitimate investment it
ought to be treated fairly. The way to
discourage capital is to hound it to death,
make 1t believe that it isn't safe here,
that the state government and the courts
are against it and that the people don't
want it. Such a plan carried out will make
a desert of n state. Capital won't in

SURPRISING BUTTE'S MAIN
STAY.

L ne AhoIlldIlt ueIilOtTd CS III state COIL
vention at Helena pledged itself in ac-
cordance with the party's national plat
form to suppress all trusts in Montana.
Joe Toole and all the democratic ora
tors now on the stump say the Anal
gamated and it's allied concerns in this
district are a trust.
Therefore, the democratic party, if 1t
carries the state election, is pledged to
suppress it. This result can be accom-
plished only by legislation. and the Sill
YER Bow nominees of the democratic
fusion party will. If elected, do AN in
their power to put the Anlalgamated
concern into its grave or prove %recreant
to their faith and their oaths of office.
On that ticket are Mr.. John MacGin-
mis-, Mr.. Pellitier and ten other men.
all indorsing the antitrust plank in
their party platform. approving Mr.. Joe
Toole's denunciation of what hi calls
the Copper trust, and ready, if elected,
to proceed with measures looking to the
suppression of the Copper Monster.
Now is it not about time for the BUSH
ness men and laboring men of Butte to
examine into this subject and ascertain
the result of democratic success in this
county and state?
To suppress a trust means to close it
down, TO make it a thing of the past, to
put it out of business.
To suppress he Amalgamated means
to compel it to discharge it's men, pull
u its pumps, to stop production and
to close up its books and disappear from
the scene. Let the voters think over
that and fusionists deny it if they can.
Two open charges are made against
trusts. One is that they increase the
price of what they produce. Therefore,
one of the chief ~offenses of the Anal
gamated is that it keeps up the price of
copper and is thereby committing a
crime for which it should be suppressed.
Do the people Of Montana want the
price Of copper reduced? Do the copper
~lessees, and the copper prospectors, and
the copper prospect owners and the
copper reduced? If they do, let them
vote the democratic ticket with Joe
Toole at the head of it and ask him to
begin the war. If the business men OF
Butte or the labor organizations of Butte
believe that the Amalgamated is a
Standard Oil or any other sort of a trust
and desire the democratic party to sup
press the enterprise, the way is open to
the accomplishment of that end. They
can help to suppress the Amalgamate6
company by voting for Messrs. McGin-
mis-, Corbett, and the other legislative
candidates on the fusion ticket. BY sc
voting to smash what is called the Cop.
per trust, the people of the state ma,
be able to educe the price of a copper
kettle in New Hampshire a few cents
but whether they wish to do so at thu
expense of 10000 employees of the trust
in Montana, n their 5000 dependents
Is a matter to be decided by themselve.
when, free from political bias or any per
sonal friendship or resentment CROWN,
out of democratic quarrels and demo
cratic tyranny in Montana, they shall
sit down for a calm consideration of thei
solemn duty to their state, their inter
ests and their consciences.
