An Estimate of Bryan.

The following just estimate of w. ].
Bryan, next president of the United
States, is given by James Creelman,
well known newspaper correspondent:
There are no secrets In. his life. To
be with him is like walking on the sea-
shore in the sunlight. At 40 he has still
the unsullied ideals, the unbroken faith
of boy. And any man may be his
comrade, if he will his very brother.
"Mr. Bryan is temperance incarnate.
He loves literature, rather than art; the
trout stream, rather than the theater:
the farm rather than the city; the small
church rather than the cathedral He
loves men more than books, and books
more than money.
II have heard him talk of his enemies
without a word of bitterness. l have
heard him defend Mr.. Mckinley from
unjust attacks. He loaths and avoids
personalities or abuse in conversation.
This is one of the noblest and most
attractive traits in his personal life. He
is decent and tolerate in his speech; fair,
is decent and tolerant in his speech; fair,
peculiarities are the signs of his pure
and undiluted Americanism. Nothing
can be more graceful than his unaffect-
ed, sincere home life. It may be true
that many Of the present elements Of
social life in the White House would
be modified if Mr.. Bryan should be

Once, twice, thrice, the great bell

Startled l arose and hurriedly dressed,
wondering if it could be mass for the
dead. Like one in dream 1 crossed
to the church. No moon in the cloud
ed sky, even the stars were yelled, while
drilling mist fell on the tombstones
in the silent cemetery. What did it
matter that it fell on the graves of loved
ones now Wondering into dust?
Softly I opened the church door. No
light save the altar lamp that shed its
radiance down on the black vestments
of the priest, who stood at the altar.
What hollow sound my footsteps
made as l walked gently to a pew and
knelt! All alone in the church at the
dead hour OF night, no worshiper but
me; fear crept over me as bowed
my head. When the priest turned at
the Dominis vobiscum, I raised my head
and 10! I was no longer alone. Dim,
shadowy forms filled the long pews and
bowed before the high altar. Then I
knew I was hearing mass with the poor
souls. Oil what love and reverence in

In Defense Of the Boers. r~sw,

The following letter appeared in the
Pioneer Press OF June IL from Theo-
dore F. Koch, OF St. Paul:
Your editorials of June 2, and are
evidently written with the avowed pur-
pose of drawing out an answer, and
therefore I hope you will have no OBJ
lection to allow me some space in your
paper. If the Pioneer Press had de-.
sired to help the Boer cause it could not
have followed better course than pur-
sued through its editorials ever since
the controversy between the English
and Beers commenced (about yea,
ago. by so fiagrantly distorting facts
and history concerning the South Afri-
can republics, and by so many misstate-
ments of truth, that public indignation
has been aroused thereby.
In your editorial of June 9 you state:
"The denial by Messrs. Vessels and
Fischer, the Boer ENJOYS, in speech and
interview, that the Beers have ever held
slaves, might pass in some benighted
countries where books and newspapers
are unknown, but to make such denial
in St Paul shows singular lack of ap-
probation of the character of their audi
ence." y
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1900-06-23

To this / have to reply as follows:
1T is fact that slavery did exist among
the Beers in Cape Colony before 1896,
not in its most brutal form Gas you
state), but in its mildest form, as every
body can read in both English historical
authorities, Du Theal as we'll as Froude.
The Boer ENJOYS have never denied in
any of their interviews or mass meet
ings that slavery has existed in the
Colony up to 1896, and that the slaves
were sold to them by English slave trad
ers UP to said time, as they were sold
to slave holders in the Southern states
OF the United States by English traders
up to the fifties, but these ENJOYS did
state that slavery never existed in the
Orange Free State or Transvaal re-
public, although under the name of
compound system it exists today in
Rhodesia, an English crown colony.
The ENJOYS further stated that Eng
land had never been able to furnish
proof of the accusation regarding slav-
cry in the Transvaal and Orange Free
State, and had never been able to buy
with all her millions one single slave in
these two republics, which would have
been an easy matter if slavery had ex-
listed there.
Everybody who has studied the South
African history knows that the Beers
in 1886, before making their first great
trek, formulated proclamation (Which
was the basis for their later constitution
al government), in article S whereof il,
is stated that no slavery should ever be
permitted to exist under their own re-
publican government, and they have
strictly adhered thereto.
Whoever wishes to know what the
Boer ENJOYS actually did state at the
auditorium mass meeting on June 2 can
find fair report thereof in the St. Paul
Globe of June 8, whereas most of the
historical statements made by the Boe1
ENJOYS here in St. Paul and elsewhere
can be verified from the two famous
English historians, Du Theal and
Froude.
