just and lawful war are:
First, supreme authority, such as
exists in Independent states; second,
"A Just and grave cause-that is,a cause

war entails; third, war must be con-

RIGHT TO FIGHT.
"In a war the justice of which is
doubtful, the enlisted soldier can law
fully fight. What If the war is eviden-
tly unjust? In that case even the enlist
ed soldier cannot fight without being
guilty of grave or mortal sin. Catholic
theology teaches that soldiers engaged
in an unjust war cannot lawfully kill
an enemy, even in self-defense, because
they are the unjust aggressors. 1t
follows from this teaching that all who
engage in an unjust war. knowing it to
be such. are in state of mortal sin,
and if they die in impenitence, suffer
the loss of their souls. These are the
teachings of the Catholic church on
the subject of war.
"The Boers have always been willing
and are still willing to arbitrate in
accordance with the provisions of the
Hague Peace commission. England Is
engaged in an unjust war, and she
should stop it Immediately. 1 appeal tc
you, as an Englishman of high influence

about peace for the good of your owr

BRYAN THE CHOI +.

Mr.. Bryan's visit to New York and
much to harmonize and unite the
Democratic party. 1t is conceded that
Mr.. Bryan will be the Democratic nomi-
nee. So the choice of the people must
rest between Bryan and Mckinley.
The following letter to the editor Of
the New York World, by a prominent
Gold Democrat, of New York, doubtless
expresses the sentiment Of Gold
Democrats generally, throughout the
country:
ITO the editor Of the World
THE visit of William J. Bryan to
New York is an event which brings to
the mind Of the voters of the East with
force and distinctness the plain, prac-
tical question of their choice between
the only two candidates, Mckinley and
Bryan.
Against Bryan it is admitted that
there is nothing except his free silver
heresy. But If he were elected president
what could he do? What control would
he have through his office over the free
silver question? None at all.
On the other hand, If we elect McKin-
ley we indorse McKinleyism, and we ex-
| tend for four years a policy which
means a total and radical departure
| from the whole theory of our Demo-
cratic republic. In re-electing McKin-
| ley we extend immunity to all trusts
| and combinations and monopolies, to
the perversion of the treasury manage
ment, to the control of the administra-
tion by Wall street, and last and worst
and most odious of all, we give a free
rein for four years to that policy Of ex-
pansion and imperialism and benevolent
assimilation under which the Republic
| departs from the path of popular free
government and takes up the principles
the methods and penalties of despotic
rule over unwilling subjects.
| That is the choice. Who can hesitate
in making it? We can elect Bryan
without adopting free silver. We cannot
elect Mckinley without electing Nc
Kinleyism, with all that the word i'm
| plies"

ERrLY A BEGINNING.
(Omaha World -Herald.)

The Infant industries" of Pittsburg
have offered to contribute 100000 to the
Republican national campaign fund,
provided Mr.. Mckinley will open the
with a speech in the Smoky
City. A delegation presented the offer
to our noble executive a few days ago
and he agreed to refer the matter tC
Mr.. Hanna. who has the management
of the campaign in hand. Mr.. Hanna
will not allow the little matter of $780,
900 to influence him. If he thinks that a
speech from Mckinley will properly
open the campaign he will see to it
that the speech is delivered. But he can
fry a great deal more fiat" than $780,
900 from the protected infants of
Pittsburg, no matter where or by whom
the campaign is opened.
Mr.. Hanna is Knight of the Order of
the Frying Pan, and he knows just how
to manage the affairs of his high and
mighty office. The offer of the Pitts
burg infants is a bluff that will not
work. Neither will it deceive the peo-
pie. Two hundred thousand simoleons
is not much compared with what the
infants" will have to put up when Mr.
Hanna calls around with his frying par
and charcoal brazer.

tacks private character, except as a
move made esential to the public good,
where it seeks to sacrifice the individual
to vent personal animosity or promote
selfish interests of any nature, where it
will serve sensationalism at the expense
of justic and right, it is without justifi-
stricted. But within the field to which
by far the major portion confines itself
it's established rights should be held
inviolate as a bulwark of the people
against any and all movements tend
ing to the usurpation, abuse or impair
ment of their supreme authority.

ACCEPTED FACT
That the Administration Contemplates the
Prospect or Defeat.
(New York Evening Post.)

New York Evening Post)
The fact must be accepted that the
Mckinley administration contemplates
the possibility of defeat for the Republi-
can party next November. It's recogniz-
ed spokesman admits that the utmost
efforts must be put forth to ward off
this danger. The amazing feature of
the situation is that nobody in the inner
circle sees either the real cause of the
danger, or the true policy to be adopted
that it may be averted. Whence comes
the chief ammunition used by the
Democratic agitators? The most eff
fective weapons have been forged by the
familiar friends, the authorized repre-
sentatives, the special champions of the
president himself.
The Democratic agitators are not vast
ing a great deal of lung power, nor the
Democratic literary fellers" great
deal of campaign literature, on the
issue of free coinage. Consistency, of
course, demands that they shall keep

SAFETY ONLY IN THE DEMOCRACY.
Lafayette, Ind, Journal)


There are live issues to day. The
nation is menaced. The very founda-
ton of the republic is threatened by
a crusade for imperialism. The very
homes of the people are topping into
ruin spread abroad by the trusts.
IF Democrats do not take the right side
on these questions; do not on that
right side exert all the strength they
have the olden enemy of equal rights
for every citizen will be taken away.
And once taken they will not be easy
regained.
1t isn't a question of defeating or of
electing Mr.. Bryan. That man will get
out of the way any moment a man more
likely to command all the Democratic
votes can be presented. He will get out
of the way when any man can be found
who can command more votes than he
can in opposition to the Republican
individual, nor of anything that has
passed. 1t is simply a question of fight
ing Republicans and saving the country
There is no other place under heaven
where patriot may stand against i'm
perialism but in the Democratic party
There is no other place where he car
fight against trusts. There is no other
hope for equal rights to every citi,
zen"

JUST E nor wITH ENGLAND.

Rev. Father OBrien, of Toledo, Ohio,
in open letter, replies to a recent open
letter of Cardinal Vaughan, of England,
in which the cardinal maintained that
England's war against the Beers is
just.
Father O'Brien's letter expresses, no
doubt, the sentiment of the great
majority of the christian church
both Catholic and protestant. His let
ter in part is as follows:
ITO His Eminence, Herbert Cardinal
Vaughan, Archbishop of Westminster,
London, England: / must beg your
Eminence's pardon, as l am only an
obscure priest, for daring to criticise the
views of one of your high dignity in
the church, but 1 claim the right, as a
Catholic, to point out to the readers of
the press, which has published your let
ter, very extensively, some statement
of opinion for which the church Is not
responsible. AS an Englishman, you are
entitled to your opinions regarding the
Transvaal war. but the church should
not be held responsible for those opini-
ons only in so far as they
agree with her teachings. Among other
things Your Eminence says
Whatever doubt was entertained
as to the lawfulness of enforcing the
British demands by recourse to the
sword, there can be no doubt now that
we have been forced into war, and that
justice is on our side
CATHOLIC DOCTRINE"
"As an Englishman you, no doubt,
think you are bound to uphold your
government, right or wrong, but this is
not Catholic doctrine. You are not
bound to obey the king If she COM
manded you to do a wrong,n or are yom
priests or your people bound to obey
you when you demand them to support
a government waging an unjust waI.
"You say that Justice is on the side
of England. The civilized world denies
this, both protestants and Catholics
Christian nations look upon your waI
with the Beers as the most unjust ever
waged by civilized government. AS
proof that the war is just on England 6
side you charge the Beers with a de-
sire to establish their supremacy in
South Africa. Without going into de-
tails on this subject history proves or
the contrary that England is determin-
ed at any cost in blood and money tc
establish British supremacy in South
Africa. Pardon me for quoting here the
teachings of Catholic theology on the
subject Of war.
WAR is lawful when waged by an in
dependent state to vindicate some un-
doubted right. but only when this end
can be attained by no other means
War should be the last resort OF ma

of the Indianan's lamboyant defense
of imperialism in which he sacrilegi-
ously declared that God had selected
the American people as His trustees,
whose appointed work was to extend
to the Philippines and the Filipinos
the civilization and liberty with which
the American people, as His chosen
children, were to enlighten the world.
Think of scheming politicians like
Hanna, Beveridge, Mckinley and their
ilk profanely proclaiming that "the
Prince of Peace" has authorized the
shooting of. our civilization into weaker
people with Krag- g-Jorgensens-that He
who counseled good will and brotherly
love among men should approve the
theft Of the land and liberty of the
little brown men of the orient!
In making arguments such as these
Hanna, Beveridge, Mckinley & Co. are
adding to their sin of violating human
rights the crime of sacrilege. If
had decreed that the American people
should have the trusteeship of the
Philippines he would certainly not have
chosen a gang Of venal politicians as
the channels of his revelation. Neither
would He have selected the Republican
party of the mercenary trusts and
syndicates, whose political factotum it
| is to administer the trust.

ROOD FOR REFLECTION.
Chicago Chronicle.)

A Baptist revivalist in Brooklyn says
the modern church is at a standstill
and must introduce boxing bouts, the
atrical attractions, buffets with mixed
drinks, dancing, horse-racing and even
cakewalks as a means of restoring
public confidence and increasing at
tendance. Another evangelical pastor
of Oakland, Cal, has just announced
his retirement from the ministry be-
cause he believes the church has no
right to taboo dancing and drinking
on the part of ministers and members.
1t is all in the point of observation,
apparently, but there is food for re-
Election when ministers of the gospel
boldly come out on the side Of Belial.
Have any of these unsuccessful
preachers ever considered the posi-
bility of trying plain gospel preaching
as means of filling their churches? &?
They might at least give up one week
to the experiment, a la Sheldon, who
proposes to devote that much time to
the regeneration of unholy journalism.

Generals Teyler and Linares have gath

the interests OF the army and, in spite Of
the budgets economies which have been
universally demanded, they aim to re-
construct the army and navy. The first
step in the direction of this plan was to
proclaim the independence of the minis

cabinet and General Linares appointed
General Weyler to be captain general
Of Madridas part Of this policy. General
Weyler, who recently adhered to the liber-
al party, which he hoped eventually
would enable him to get the portfolio of
war, announced that he accepted the post
as a military man and not as a poI1ti

ent action will cause him to be aban-

General Weyler retains his post, saying

Some Of the Apt Replies
Of the Governor.
A Day of Many Speeches and
Large Crowds.

Kingston, N. z, October 22.-Gov-
ernor Roosevelt finished the first day of
his flying campign through the State in
Kingston tonight after trevlling SO miles
ana making eight speeches, the longest
being at Newburgh and Kingston. At
the former place, the home of Republican
candidate for Governor. he talked to a
vast assemblages having to speak IN t wo
places.
In sense he campaign took on the
form of English political meetings, SPEC
tators in terrupting the speaker with
questions. in every instance eliciting
a reply. At West Nyack a man close to
the car cried and reiterated:
"Hurrah for Bryan, and Mr.. Roosevelt
replied: "Why don't you hurrah for
Altgeld and Aguinaldo?'
The cheering ceased. Another called:
''What about the ice trustY' and he
answered: ''Ihis election will be decided
by the patriots AMI men or seLse IN the
country who outnumber the Junker
shoutsrs Of your type. The ice trust Will
be attended to in proper legal way
A man In the crowd at Newburgh, said
in low tone of voice: "Why did you
call Democrats towards and dishonest ?''
Roosevelt heard him and flung back
quickly the reply: Its lie. never
said such thing. 1t is Democrats, good
Democrats, who viii swell our majority"
Towards the end of his remarks, at
Newburgh. the Governor was interrupted
a number of times by some shouts OF
''What is the matter with Bryan?''
"Down with trusts
Governor Roosevelt remarked: "That
gentleman has all the symptoms of
Bryanite,' which sally was greeted with
laughter and applause. Then, walking
over to one side of the platform, and
speaking directly towards the point from
which the shouts arose. the Governor
said: "You look like one OF those men
who work exclusively with their mouths.
What do you mean to do with the cotton
bale trust OF Mr.. Jones or the ice trust
of Mr.. Croker? (Cries of ''What is the
matter with Bryan?'' ''He's all right. ~
This is an argument OF wind. Cap

interrupt this meeting because you are
a hoodIum and nothing else. You repre-
sent the disorderly class that is naturally
against US. You re present those people
who naturally obje ct to prosperity. You
don't get any part of it, because you
won't work. (Applause Now then, 60
