forces who voted for Bryan in 'o6 pre-
fer him to the man who was wont to
say Il am Democrat" and then failed
to support the nominees OF his party in
that campaign. The Democratic papers
OF the country speak highly of Steven
son and the platform adopted at the con-
vention. The only exception is the St.
Paul Globe, the organ OF ]. ]. Hill,
the railroad magnate, who is both
gold bug and an imperialist OF the most
pronounced type, for purely selfish,
commercial motives.
The Irish Standard deems it unneces-
sary t., speak eulogistically of William
J. Bryan. The fact that he received
from the Democratic party personal
tribute which has no parallel in Ameri-
can history speaks volumes for the ex-
altel opinion entertained for him by his
coun;rymen. He is the only Democrat
capable OF developing the full strength
OF his party this year, and if the party
is Triumphant in the coming contest the
victory can be attributed to the great
popularity of the noble Nebraskan who
heads the ticket. His running mate will
keep pace With linn in the race, and
both will reach the goal together. The
Chicago Chronicle, which opposed
Bryan in 'ot, is for him this year, and
pays glowing tribute to his colleague
on the ticket as follows:
Mr.. Stevenson is Democrat OF
Democrats. He is a Democrat whose
name is intimately associated with forty
years of splendid Democratic history,
with Democratic struggles for principle
and with ultimate Democratic triumphs.
Mr.. Stevenson is known to the Demo-
Gratis of this country as a Democrat.
He speaks language which they I'M
derstand. He is grounded in the Demo-
cratic faith. He always was Demo-
crat He will be Democrat to the last.
Mr.. Stevenson's great strength with
Democrats was largely instrumental in
carrying Illinois, Indiana and Wiscon-
sin for the Democratic national ticket
in 1892. IIe will not appeal to the DEM
ocrats Of these states in vain this year.
Mr.. Stevenson is not only a Demo-
crat OF the old school; he is courteous
and chivalrous gentleman, wise and
conservative statesman and politician
OF great sagacity and power.
The nomination of Mr.. Stevenson
gives Mr.. Bryan an associate who will
add positive elements of strength to the
ticket in all Democratic and doubtful
states and whose counsel during the
campaign and after it shall have been
successfully closed will be OF the great
est service.
Standing for human liberty and the
rights of men, for the republic and not
for the empire, for the destruction of I'M
lawful business and industrial combina-
tons, for equal and just taxation and
for the restoration OF economy and JUS
tice in all the branches of government,
the united Democracy, with Bryan and
Stevenson as its leaders, is superbly
equipped for battle and for victory.

new part of our empire by sending sucl,

the Philippines believe they are living in
a part OF an empire of which Mckinley

In Fourth OF July Grafton at San
Francisco, Chas. Sweigert uttered the
following true words: at is said,
Wherever the flag waves in glory, let it
remain. That is neither sound philoso-
ply nor true sentiment. 1t takes no ac-
count of the circumstances under which
the flag was raised. The flag is a
sacred thing; but the most sacred thing
may be profaned by impious uses. To
the eye of the unrehecting, the blood
stained banner of England doubtless
waves i'll glory above many a South
African gold field won in unjust war by
the blood OF the Irish and Scotch;
above many an Indian city, once bought
by the bribery OF traitors and now filled
with starving people. But the American
flag is the emblem OF too noble history
ever to float in glory over the property
of Others"

There are two sides to everything. and
the side of the Chinese Boxer should be
heard There is now in London a Chi
nesc merchant who has for years be-
longed to the A. P. A. society at home.
He was recently interviewed by the
London Express, and in fluent English
defended his associates from the charges
of brutality and ignorance brought
against them by impcrtinent foreigners.
Among other things he said:
Western civilization is to us mere
mushroom. 1t is a thing Of yesterday.

The Lourenzo Marques correspon-
dent of the London Daily Telegraph
says: II understand that Mr.. Hollis,
the American consul here, has been re-
called. He is well-known pro-Boer."
There is no danger that Adelbert Hay,
American consul at Pretoria, will be re-
called for being pro-British. He is the
son of his daddy and is giving the
Anglo-Saxons eminent satisfaction for
being SO intensely anti-Boer. A genu-
inc, old-fashioned American has no
business to sympathize with Beers and
Filipinos while serving in consular
capacity under Lord Hay.

1t must be humiliating to his imperial
highness, the "magnanimous" Metho-
dist OF the White House, that the plat
form prepared by himself and his
postmaster general for adoption at
Philadelphia was scornfully rejected by
Quigg and his associates. The fault
with McKinley's platform was that it
was too eulogistic Of himself and his
administration. Mac is very modest
man, but he was not able to blow his
own horn that time. Quigg is not listed
for appointment in Cuba, Porto Rico
or the Philippine Islands.

Mark Hanna recently gave Teddy
Roosevelt set of rules to follow DUR
ing the campaign. He wanted him to
throw away his Rough Rider hat and
don one becoming vice presidential
candidate. Mark said that Teddy did
not stop long enough between sentences
to give the crowd chance to applaud.
When Teddy's attention was directed to
Marks criticisms he laughed, shrugged
his shoulders, and said: eyes, Hanna

schools, and that Archbishop Mac
Evilly OF Tuam has given his hearty ap-
probation to the establishment OF a tech
nical school and boarding school in con-
nection with the Franciscan Monastery
| in Clifden, Connemara. Unlike the
school of Nenagh the one at Cliiden
will receive no aid from the govern
ment for reasons best known to the
London lawmakers, and hence it is that
the Franciscans have made public ap-
peal to the Irish people at home and in
America to help them in the enterprise
Two lay members of the religious COM
munity have been in the United States
since last spring soliciting contribu-
tons from their own countrymen for
the establishment and equipment OF the
school. They have met with gratifying
success from Irisll-born priests and
those of Irish extraction who take an
interest in the welfare OF Ireland. The
two lay brothers are at present in Min
neapolis, and the Catholic priests, with
one exception, have received them cor
daily and contributed literally to the
excellent cause which Bishop McGolrick
endorses in his letter to Dean White OF
Tipperary. The young men are dressed
in the garb of their sacred order and
carry with them credentials from the
archbishop Of Tuam and the provincial
OF the Franciscans. They are no inn
posters, as was stated in the daily press,
but deserve the encouragement OF every
man and woman OF the Irish race who
knows the value of technical education
for the youth OF Ireland. They are en-
gagged in noble mission, without fee
or reward, and entitled to courteous
treatment at the hands of their own
people in the Greater Ireland beyond
the Atlantic's foam." If the school at
Nenagh is worthy OF encouragement
and episcopal appreciation, SO also is the
school at Clifden, of which Brother
John Edwards, o. S. F., the provincial
residing at the Franciscan Monastery,
Mount Bellew, County Galway, says:
Technical schools for the education
OF the poor children OF Conncmara have
been long felt want in the locality.
and the Franciscan Brothers, ever rely
ing on charitable assistance from out
side, are the first to make a start in this
direction. They have now in the course
of erection in Clifden the school above
referred to, but are unable to complete
it without appealing to the public for
assistance.
We hope the Irish people in America,
but particularly the people from Con-
naught, to which Cromwell consigned
their foreiathers in the seventeenth CEN
fury, will treat the visiting members OF
the FRANCISCAN order with due respect,
whether they contribute for the cause
or not. We hope to see the day when
young Irishmen arriving in America
will not be obliged to work in the sew
ers OF the great cities or on the rail-
roads, but will be able to work as arti-
sans at profitable remuneration. Better
yet, we hope the day is not far distant
when under benefcent native parlia-
ment they can find employment at home
in reviving the extinct and languishing
industries of the beautiful land OF their
birth. AS preparation for that happy
time the establishment of technical
schools is desidcratum for the youth
of the country

Three Catholic prelates offered prayer
this year at three political conventions.
Archbishop Ryan prayed at Philadel-
phia for the Republicans, Bishop Glen
non at Kansas City for the Democrats,
and Bishop O'Gorman at Sioux Falls
for the Populists. The prayers extern
porized by the Catholic bishops for the
occasion were couched in rhetorical Ian
guage, and devoid of political bias.

HIGH PRICES AND PROSPERITY

1T is not American to strike an
enemy when he is down, but we would
respectfully ask Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr..
Hanna to explain some points the pub
lie is now puzzled over" says the Jack
sonville Times.
They tell US cotton has risen by
grace of the prosperity given us by Nc
KInIey; what gave the low wages of
which the coal miners complain?
They say high prices are the best
proof of prosperity; will high priced
coal enhance the hlIarity of the SILVER
ing multitude this winter?
They say Mckinley keeps a dinner
pail full for every one of us willing to
work; will he or they look after the
miners that are anxious to labor?
They claim the vote of the western
farmer because Mckinley gives him
hlg her prices for his wheat; do they
expect the vote of the mechanic and
the clerk who may pay higher for flour?
Or of the labor er who pays double for
his shirt?
Is Mckinley responsible for the en-
forced idleness of 14O, 600 men in Penn
sylvanIa? If not, how is it that he is to
be credited with having them work be-
fore?
Must the administration take the
glory of a war with which it was oppos-
ed up to the last moment? Then why
is it not responsible for the hatred and
bIoodshed and expenditure that haye
grown out of that war?
Has the war ended? Then what is
the matter with ending the tax?
If the was has not ended, then why
are we losing men and spending
money, and where does it exist?
Must the Spanish treaty be credited
to Mckinley and only it's confirmation
to Bryan2 Then why did we have to
buy some islands we wanted and left
out?
It is reported that the Fil1pinos are
encouraged and supplied from Hong
kong;why is not protest made and Eng
land compelled to look after her fllibus-
terers, as we did ours for SpainP
