The Boston Republic says: The "Box-

A. of China. They are fighting the for
eigners and trying to drive them out.
Yet the A. P. A. and other Know-noth-
ing organizations in America are OPP

William Michael Byrne, of Whining
ton, Del, is United States district at
torney under the Hanna-McKinley ad-
ministration. OF course, he is Repub-
lican. He is Catholic also, but wheth-
er practical or a nominal one we have
no means of determining. We are in.
clined to believe, however, that he viii
never be canonized for his sanctity. 1t
appears that Byrne sent Mckinley
protest against allowing Catholic mis-
sionaries to be killed in China, in which
he says: II share with my fellow Cath
olics throughout the republic profound
horror at the reported outrages on our
Catholic convent at Pao-ting-fu and
urge the administration to deal swift
and condign punishment on the MUIR
derous assailants." As if that was not
enough, the willy Byrne continues: "A
further reason will be found for Ameri-
can retention of the Philippines if an ef-
ficient base is established there for the
protection of Catholic and other mis-
sionaries in their superb work of evan
gelical civilization" During the Phila-
delphia convention John Hay sent
message to Byrne promising protection
to missionaries, and Byrne gave it to
the press for political effect.

George w. Van Siclen has issued
pamphlet called american Sentiment
on the Boer War" 1t contains the re-
suits of a poll taken by clergymen of
the United States on the opinion of
their congregations with regard to the
Boer war. The clergyn,en were asked
to have the members of their congrega-
tons subscribe to one or the other OF
these two descriptions: I. Each person
whose name and address are subscribed
hereto votes in favor of the United
States offering to mediate between
Great Britain and the two South African
republics for the purpose of putting
stop to the war now going on 2. Each
person whose name and address are
subscribed hereto votes in favor of
Great Britain in her war to conquer the
two South African republics. Up to
June 12 Mr.. Van Siclen says that he
had received answers from $500 clergy
men. The numbers of the signers of the
votes sent back to him by the clergy
men stood as follows: No. I, 1o6,83o;
No. 2, 1,345.

At recent anti-imperialist meeting
in Cooper Union, New York, Capt
Patrick O'Farrell, of Washington, D.
c., who is lifelong Republican, made
a hot speech in denunciation of the
Mckinley administration. In the course
of his address he said: Mckinley is
trying to work the church, mean the
Catholic church-but he "wobbles" on
that as we'll as on other matters. What
he said last week he contradicts this
week. A weak man is dangerous man
when placed in high position. Nero
was one of the weakest of Roman en-
perors, but at the same time the most
dangerous. Just look at President Nc
Kinley making tracks on both sides of
the stream. We find him last summer
at the Catholic summer school at Platts-
burg, N. Y, holding forth and telling
the people there about the flag, and you
would actually think he was born next
door to the blarney-stone. Next week
we find him at Asbury Park, N. J.,
preaching to the Methodists about piety
and patriotism. And the next week we
find him executing a treaty, offensive
and defensive, with the Sultan of Sulu,
whereby he recognizes slavery, poly
gamy and the religion of Mahomet
