President Kruger's salary before the
outbreak OF hostilities was $4,000 a
year. The salaries of all officials of the
Transvaal were reduced on the break
ing out OF the war, and now Kruger's
salary is but $1,000 a year. Had there
been similar reduction made in the
salaries OF President Mckinley and the
members OF his cabinet since the out
break OF the Filipino Instruction, the
war in Luzon would have been long
since suppressed by the mighty Otis.
But then the war in the Philippines is
not one OF patriotism, as in the Trans
wall On the contrary, it is war Of
conquest and spoliation for the benefit
OF the American barons.

THE COMING OF COL. BRYAN.

1t affords the Irish Standard mich
pleasure to announce editorially the
coming of Col. William J. Bryan to
Minneapolis to- lecture at the Exposi-
ton auditorium on Wednesday evening
OF next week. 1t is almost unnecessary
to ask the Democracy of Minnesota to
turn out on the occasion and pay their
respects to the gallant standard-bearer OF
their party, for William J. Bryan is sure
to be the nominee for president in 1000.
as he was four years ago. He is a
much stronger and more popular candi-
date now than he was then. In 1896 he
was comparatively unknown to the
masses OF his own countrymen until
after his nomination by reclamation a
the Chicago convention; to-day his
fame extends beyond the American
continent, and he is universally recog-
nized as one OF the most brilliant men
OF the age. He has given ample proc
of possessing the highest gifts of ora
tory and craftsmanship, and his opinion
is sought on every important question
of the day. He has displayed great
versatility in the discussion OF public
questions, and no man of modern times
has spoken so much without being
tripped up by his political opponents,
who have been watching his every ut
terance. Republican partisans cannot
but admire his trancendent ability and
integrity OF character. Morally, intel
lectually and physically, he is grand
product OF the republic and in an emf
nent degree is qualified to fill the high
est Office in the gift Of the American
pcope-that OF president OF the United
States.
The Republican papers OF this city
have been assiduously fomenting strife
between Democrats who are vieing
with each other in getting up the great
meeting in honor of William Jennings
Bryan. Let us assure Our readers that
the dissension is more apparent than
real. In fact, there is nothing to it.
The wish is father to the thought with
the organs OF Mckinley despotism. A
few Democrats who like to see their
names in print accord interviews to Re-
publican papers and often say indiscreet
things, but the Democracy of Hennepn
county will stamp them out if they do
not cease their pother. The party as a
whole is united and will give William
J. Bryan an enthusiastic ovation. After
the spcech-making at the Exposition
hall banquet will be rendered to the
distinguished Nebraskan at the West
hotel. Gov. Lind and the leaders OF
the reform forces OF the state will be
in attendance. Among the speakers
announced is Hon. C. A. Towne, OF
Duluth, who would rather be right than
be Republican congressman under the
lash OF the goldocracy. In the name
OF the Democracy OF the city, county
and state, the Irish Standard welcomes
the next president Of the United States
to the metropolis of Minnesota and
bespeaks for him most cordial recep-
ton.

HISTORY IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS.

AT recent meeting OF the Chicago
board OF education, one OF the men,
bcrs, Mr.. John T. Heating, national
president OF the A. O. H., objected to
several school histories, recommended
for use by the committee on school
management, on the ground that they
were pro-British in their tendencies.
When the committees list OF text books
was presented, Mr.. Heating arose and
said:
II have looked them over and find
five OF them are histories OF England,
one is a life Of Alexander Hamilton,
ard two are histories OF America. In
all OF them there is not a word but is

sea. There is not a word to inform
Our children OF what has been done by
France, Germany. Hungary, Poland or
the country from which I, in common
with many other American citizens,
came. l looked at one OF these books,
put in the hands OF children OF 12 years
OF age, and found that Ireland in the
beginning OF the seventeenth century
was described as i'll state OF savagcry.
II is not right to teach children when
i'll their most receptive age such stuff
l Want them to learn OF Fontenoy and
Majuba Hill as we'll as Waterloo and
Blcnheim. want books which, when
the story OF Colenso and the Modder
river is told, will tell it truthfully, as
we'll as the real reasons for the present
war. move that this list OF alleged
histories be sent back to the commit

1HE.BANE OF IRISH p1suN1oN.

The result of the last municipal cleo
ton in Boston has been made the text
for numerous disquisitions upon the in
ability OF the Irish race to unite upon
any political proposition, says The Re-
public. From every section Of the
country comes bitter and wholly JUS
tifiable complaint that the Democratic
candidate in that contest was defeated
by the treachery OF men who should
have been his warmest and most devot-
ed supporters. The Northwestern
Chronicle, published in St. Paul, Mimi,
says upon the point: "The sorry exhi-
bition which Irishmen made OF them
selves in the recent mayoralty contest
in Boston suggests this question:: Can
Irishmen put aside personal feeling for
the common good? If the Boston
squabble were an isolated fact it would
not deserve passing notice; but, sad to
say, it matches too many pages OF Irish
history-pages which tell monotonously
OF irreparable disasters wrought by
disunion," The Providence Visitor
takes similar view OF the situation
and SO do leading representative jour
mails devoted to Irish interests in other
quarters Of the land.
The discussion OF this serious ques-
ton is not only timely, but pertinent
The prevalence OF faction in Ireland
Tor a number OF years has deprived the
people OF their liberties. A rr,n
l'Sh party placed home rule Tor Ire
land upon its program and gave it the
first place. But the Irish leaders quar-
relied among themselves, and the move
ment was put back for perhaps half a
century. lnformers. traitors and lead
ers OF faction have ever been ready and
willing to do England's dirty work for
hire or from sheer viciousncss, and to
sell their country's cause for price or
to crafty personal spite. 1t is unfor-
tunately true that in every crucial test
OF the ability OF the race to achieve
great and striking results in this coun-
try some offspring Of the ignoble band
OF informers or spies has been found
ready to sell out his fellows for some
consideration.
But the indictment should not be
brought against the race. 1t only lies
against a small contingent 1t takes
time to eradicate the accumulated evils
Of political and social system like that
under which Ireland has struggled for
700 years. Under such system all
that is low and mean and treachcrous
is sure to develop. The work of pur-
ifcation is going on gradually but sure
", and every new outcropping OF treas
enable betrayal simply calls public at
tention to an additional sore spot the
disclosure of which helps toward per-
manent cure.
We are not prepared to despair OF the
race because there is dissension in Ire
land which retards the progress of the
agitation for national independence, nor
because small section OF the voters OF
Irish birth or extraction in Boston
struck down the foremost man OF their
race in America. The people of Ire
land are going to wipe out the leaders
OF faction before many months shall
have passed. Over $4,000 men of the
race voted for Hon. Patrick A. Collins
on Dec. IL, and they will see to it that
the little cabal OF traitors who deserted
to the enemy while the battle was being
waged are stripped OF the power to do
such evil in the future.
