breast, and Edwin Wright, son of Mrs

ployed as waitress. She was taken i'll

be without home or friends, he took her
to his home.
According to Wright's story, Mrs But

last night, and he remained there chat

the question ''Americanism" will remain
in statu quo.
The pope is devoting himself entirely
10 the ceremonies and receptions of the

VeXed subject as "Americanism.
The archbishOp's audience of the pope
was very brief. He confined himself TO
describing the progress of his diocese
and presented to the pope an album
containing views of ed.fces constructed
during the last decade.
The topic of ''Americanism" was not

REPUBLICANS AT CROSS PURPOSES.
The Republican machine in the Seventh
congressional district succeeded, as was
expected, in forcing the denomination of
Frank N. Eddy, thanks 10 the energy and
organizing talent of E. E. Adams, Eddy's
lieutenant and prospective successor. The
intentions of the gentlemen who were OPP
posed to the denomination of Eddy, and
who foresaw disaster for their party next
November from his candidature, were ex-
cellent but Intellectual. They overlooked
two important factors which the astute
Mr.. Adams used to the advantage of Mr..
Eddy and for the discontinue of his OPP
ponents. One of these was the absolute
control of the party machinery which
crushed the somewhat dIsorganized efforts
of the friends of Dr. Cole and Mr.. Yalen-
tine; and the other was the federal pat
ronage distributed by Congressman Eddy.
There is no doubt that the wisdom of
Mr.. Adams recommendations in the mat
ter of appointing the several hundred CEN
sus enumerators and census officials serv-
ed to secure the denomination of Mr..
Eddy in the Seventh district as this pat
ronage secured the denomination of Page
Morris in the Sixth district and as it will
secure the denomination of all the present
Republican congressman.
1t is well for the Democratic party that
such things are for it will undoubtedly
result in the election of several Demoorat-
ic congressman, provided that capable
men are nominated. The inherent weak
ness Of the Republican nominations lies in
this, that none of the present Republican
congressman can be renominated and re-
ceive the Endorsement of their conduct
which such denomination implies, without
some. of these Republican congressman
being denounced or repudiated for their
votes for or against the Porto Rico tar
iff bill
In the case of Congressman Eddy and
Morris the platforms on which they stand
are a denunciation in effect of the course
of Senators Davis and Nelson and of
Congressman Fletcher and Heatwole in
regard to the Porto Rican bill, and an in
dorsement of President McKinley's fail
ure to stick to his plain duty" as he
originally saw and stated it, and the
course of Congressman Tawney, Nc
Cleary, Stevens, Morris and Eddy in aid
ing and abetting the president in that
dereliction of his plain duty"

Our contemporary, the St. Faul Daily

office.
For some time the G o b has had its

ing expression to his bitter assault on the
Irish members and the Irish people, whom
he declared in so many words to be ut
terly disloyaI and to be controlled and
comfortable only by the use of force.
The first effect which presents itself to
the mind as being assured by the pre-
mier's Irish speech will be that of driving
the Irish party in parliament away from
the support of the government and into
the arms Of the Liberals. The next is to
promote disaffection among the people
and to undo the surface results of the
queens visit. On the first of these results
Lord Salisbury certainly must have
counted. 1t would, perhaps, not be too
much to say that it furnished a chief
motive for the offensive remarks. The
intense sympathy which has prevailed
among the mass of the Irish race both
at home and abroad with the cause of
the Beers represents a tTuer expression
of Irish public opinion on that score than
does the valor of the Anglo-frish regi-
ments in the Transvaal or the considera-
ton bestowed on the personality of heI
majesty during her recent visit A second
certain effect of Lord Salisburys speech
will be to incense that public sentiment,
and to lead to acts, or declarations, or
both, on the part of the people and their
representatives which will dissipate the
idea so popular for a time among the
English people, that material political
concessions ought to be made to Ireland
by the existing government.
The effect Of all this on the political
action of the Irish people is not far to
seek. i will tend directly to undermine
any belief that may have been enter
tanned in the immediate past that the
Irish may expect voluntary concessions
to be made by the Tory government. 1t
will probably make more secure the union
of the warning factions which appears
to have been effected of late, and will
open up once more in some form or other
the heated political animosities of the
past
Lord Salisbury's references to the Irish
in his recent address may prove help
full to the Unionist party; but they Ger
tainly will not tend to reconcile the Irish
people to existing political conditions.
