THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

In the words of Arthur l.. Clarke,
the vigilant London correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, "the rumors of
battles, victories, defeats, retreats and
captures in the Ladysmith neighbor
hood continue as thick as grasshop-
pers in Kansas. but there is no actual
news, and none is likely either until
Gen. Butler has gained or lost the OBJ
jective of his mysterious movement"
One thing is certain, however, and
that is that Ladysmith, Kimberley
and Mafeking have not yet been re-
lieved by the British generals in COM
mand. Though Butler is within fif-
teen miles of Ladysmith, where Gen.
Sir George White with some 10000
troops are cOoped up, he has not yet
hecn able to reach it, and it is eX-
tremely doubtful if he has crossed the
Tugela river, where he was SO badly
beaten by the Beers about a month
ago. We predicted that before he had
effected crossing the swift-flowing
river would be REDEEMED with British
blood, and we have no cause thus far
to modify our statement. British SOL
diers are said to be brave, but they
have learned to fear the bullets Of an
invisible foe, as the Beers have shown

Senator Hoar never uttered truer
words than when he said: certainly
the flag should never be lowered from
any moral field over which it has once
waved. To follow the flag is to follow
the principles of freedom and human
ity for which it stands. To claim that
we must follow it when it stands for
injustice or oppression is like claim
ing that we must take the nostrums
of the quack doctor who stamps it on
his wares, or follow every scheme of
wickedness or fraud, if only the flag
be put at the head Of the prospectus"

WITHHOLDING INFORMATION.

The senate of the United States is
perhaps the most autocratic legislative
body in the world. At present it con-
sists of eighty -sixrmembers, the most
of whom are wealthy men who have
made their money by questionable
methods. Fifty Of them belong to the
republican party now in power, and
they are backed up by several gold
democrats whenever the interests of
the plutocracy are under considera-
ton. AS these nabobs are not elected
by the people, they are independent Of
the people and therefore do what they
please. If any honest, courageous and
patriotic member objects to their high
handed proceedings he becomes tar
get for ridicule and abuse from the
party organs. These bloated money
bags are out of touch with the people
and care not to take the people into
their confidence especially when mat
tiers relating to the imperial policy Of
the administration come up for dis
cussion. When information is asked
for, it is denied and debate is choked
off by the republican majority.
Last week Senator Hoar introduced
a resolution regarding the Philippines,
and Immediately it was opposed by
four republican members, whereupon
Mr.. Hoar asked if the United States
senate was not Mt an end when men,
bers could obtain no information to
guide them in the performance of their
duties. Senator Pettigrew moved an
amendment to the Hoar resolution de-
handing President McKinley's In
structions to the Paris peace commits
sioners and the correspondence be-
tween them and the state depart
ment. After prolonged debate, the
amendment was tabled on motion of
Senator Davis. the chairman Of the
foreign relations committee, and one
of the commissioners, who said that
there are matters which ought not to
be made public ut this time"
Senator Vest, of Missouri, made n
brief address in which he denied that
he was attacking the administration
in his remarks on the Paris treaty.
"What is the position of the presi-
dent?" inquired Mr.. Vest. "He direct
ed the peace commission to take one
island of Luzon, and afterward aban,
doned that policy. He has since said
the acquisition of the islands was an
act of providence-that we could not
leave them as derelicts. The fact u.s.

and foggy condition. I disclaim now

Says the Boston Republic: The dec
laratfon Of an Irish magistrate that
the Jesuits are outlaws in Ireland has
created a sensation among students of
contemporaneous events. But the
statement is true. The emancipation
act which was passed in 1929 as re-
suit Of O'Connel1's agitation did not re-
move all Catholic disabilities. The
Jesufts, Franciscans, Domfnicans, and,
in fact, all the regular" clergy, were
not included in it's provisions. They
live in Ireland on sufferance SO far as
the law is concerned, and the castle
authorities have but to enforce the
provisions Of the old penal enactments
to drive them from the island. It may
be remembered that special act was
passed not many years ago providing
that q Catholic might fill the office Of
lord chancellor Of Ireland. No Catho-
lie can serve as lord lieutenant. Yet
we hear Of "Joe'' Chamber1afn's IN

Out of eighteen judges in Ireland
only four are Catholics, and they owe
their appointment to the fact that
they have always been pro-British and
anti-Irish. When Catholics get on the
bench in Ireland they become the
mere tools of Dublin Castle. Peter
O'Brien packed the juries with Pro-
testants and ordered his own co-relig-
ionists to "stand aside" He was pro-
noted to the chief justiceship for his
subserviency after acquiring the name
Of "Peter the Packer" In q recent
agrarian trial in Sligo where five
sixths of the people are Catholics, not
a Catholic could serve on the jury.
