Some of the prelates of Irish birth or
descent in the United States have dis
played pre- eminent ability as church
men and citizens, and their names will
always be remembered by posterity.
The names of John Carroll, John Eng
land, John Hughes and John Ireland
are known wherever the English Ian
guage is spoken. The last three were
born in Ireland and reflect honor on
the land of their nativity.
AS the exponent of Irish Catholicity
in this section of the United States, the
Irish Standard takes pardonable pride
in referring to the work of Irish prel-
ates in the upbuilding of the church
in this country. Without them what
would the Catholic church be in the
land Of Columbus? The Irish priests
and the Irish laymen have nobly CO.
operated with the hierarchy in church
work, and they deserve the full need
of praise. The exiled sons of st. Pat
rick, who fled from religious and So
cial persecution to this land of liberty,
have done a great deal for the faith in
the New World, and we believe that if
America is ever to become Catholic the
evolution will be chiefly brought about
through their instrumentality.

A PATRIOTIC pRoNouNcEmErr.

On the Fourth of July the Anti-Im-
perialistic League Of Chicago issued an
address to the American people. The
document was signed by prominent
citizens from all parts of the country,
including Bishop Spaldfng of PEORIA
Bishop Ryan Of Alton, Bishop Hall of
Vermont, Carl Schurz and William D.
Howells of New York.
The plutocratic press of the country
has condemned the patriotic document
and called the signers thereof "aunties"
and malcontents. The Pioneer Press
devotes column Of valuable editorial
space to a criticism Of the manifesto
and says it is lugubrious pronounce
ment. The following pregnant para
graph from the address CRATES harshly
on the sensitive nerves of Joseph A.
W'heelocll, the eminent emigrant from
Nova Scotia who moulds public opinion
in the interest of corporations in the
columns of our ST. Paul contemporary:
I'm organized society there is no lib
erty that is not constitutional liberty.
Even in America, where we have only
to fear the abuse of power by our own
fellow citizens we all rely on constitu-
tons. national and state, to protect our
rights. We cannot conceive an Ameri-
can community without these safe
guards. Do not the Inhabitants of Lu-
zon need against us the protection that
we need against ourselves? 1t has ever
been the American method to incorpo-
rate acquired territory with representa-
ton; it is now proposed to revert to the
Roman method and hold conquered ter
ritory by force without representation.
This policy which we oppose gives to
the Filipinos and Porto Ricans no con-
stitutional rights, no American citizen
ship, no hope of statehood, no voice
in the congress which rules them; it
leaves them without a country, the
subjects Of a republic. To believers in
free government this policy is mon
strous."

In reply to a correspondent concern
ing the creed Of the late Lord O'Hagan
and his family, the Boston Pilot says:
Ellis wife was the daughter Of Colonel
Charles Townley, the head of one of
the oldest families of English Catholics,
but after his death she left the church
with her children, and the late lord,
who died at Springfontein,, was a
Protestant" Perhaps our esteemed
contemporary is not aware of the fact
that young Lord O'Hagan, when dy-
ing, sent for a Catholic chaplain to re-
ceive him back into the church and
prepare him for eternity. A British
officer, who is a Protestant, was near
Lord O'Hagan when he fell mortally
wounded, and it was he who brought
the priest at the dying mans request.
On his return to England he wrote to
the London Times about the death of
the young Irish lord. We forget the
officers name just now.

al rights in the sense of a written guar
antee. but asserts that it is difficult to
prove the blessings that flow from a
written constitution to people who do
not know how to guard their own
rights. This organ Of plutocracy as
sumes that the Filipinos and Porto
Ricans are incapable Of governing
themselves without the aid and direc-
ton of the Anglo-Saxons, who claim
superiority over all other races and
imagine they are destined by their
Creator to be the rulers of this sub
lunary sphere from pole to pole
The British editor of the Pioneer
Press has but little respect for the
Declaration Of Independence, and does
not hold these truths to be self-evident:
that all men are created equal; that
they are endowed, by their Creator,
with certain inalienable rights: that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness; that to secure
these rights, governments are institut-
ed among men, deriving their Just pow
ers from the consent of the governed"
If the Declaration of Independence
expresses self-evident truths, what just
powers does William Mckinley possess
to govern the Filipinos without their
consent and "benevolently assimilate"
them by the thousands with shot and
shell?
The Pioneer Press cannot answer the
arguments contained in the document
signed by these eminent Americans,
many of whom can trace their pedigree
to Revolutionary sires. 1t has recourse
to ridicule, the last weapon Of a dis
comfited opponent. In closing it says:
''To say that the Porto Ricans and
Filipinos have no constitutional rights
is rank stuff and nonsense And if the
men who put their signatures to such
assertions as appear in the paragraphs
quoted are not ashamed of it, it is be-
cause they don't know any better.'
The fact of the matter is that many
of the distinguished citizens whose
names are appended to the document
in question are far superior to the able
editor of the Pioneer Press in mental
capacity and literary attainments.
They have no cause to feel ashamed of
assertions based on the Declaration Of
independence and the Constitution Of
the United States. They were solely
prompted by patriotism to address
their fellow countrymen on the ami
versary of American independence, and
their utterances are entitled to serious
consideration.

The British colonists in Canada and
Australia, who sent troops to slaugh-
ter the Beers, are tardy in giving mon
ey to the mother country to carry
on the war with greater vigor. There
are worthy men in the British colonies,
but there are also many rascals there
who would crush Ireland as wantonly
as they have tried to deprive the Beers
of life and liberty. But When money
is involved these slavish loyalists are
reluctant to put up any cash.

David Stephen Du Plooy, a young
Boer who escaped from a British mill
tary prison in Bermuda, arrived on a
steamer at New York last Tuesday. He
would not be allowed to land by the
emigration authorities. A cablegram
from the governor Of Bermuda asked
that he be detained and returned. w.
r. Hearst, the newspaper man, got out
writ of habeas corpus for his release,
but before it was served Du Plooy was
liberated. He is tall, stalwart young
man, and he speaks excellent English.

The Catholic weekly papers, but es-
pecially the weakly ones among them,
are opposed to the publication of a
Catholic dhily paper in the English Ian
guage. The Irish Standard would like
to see one started in this country.
There are-more than 100000 Catho-
lies who are able to support such a
venture. BY all means let it come. It
would exert a wholesome influence on
American morals.

In the amended oath prepared by
a parliamentary committee the king of
England will hereafter declare that
there is not any transubstatiation of
the elements of bread and wine into

that ''the invocation and alteration of
the Virgin Mary or saints, and the
Sacrifice of the Mass as now used i'll
the Church of Rome, are contrary to
the Protestant religion" 1t appears
that the revised oath is not satisfactory
to either Professionals or Catholics in the
United Kingdom.

The Orangemen of Ulster celebrated
the 211th anniversary of the battle Of
the Boyne yesterday. Look out for

King William who annually celebrate
the 10Th of July have no reason to be
proud of the Boyne, for their forefa-

from the Irish troops on that fateful
day. William of Orange brought them
back to the river and threatened to

Several American newspapers have
pronounced Canadian silver nuisance.
But the same papers never fail to re-

Our esteemed contemporary is entitled
to know why Canadian silver coin is
considered a nuisance on this side of

does not pass at its face value and is
received at a discount. A Canadian
dime is worth only eight cents in this

The Memphis Scimitar, in correcting
contemporary for calling the Ameri-
can people "Anglo-Saxons," makes the
following remark: ''The blood of Amer
leans is Celtic and Teuton as well as
English, and in some of the states there
is strong infusion of Scandinavian
or French. We are, in fact, compo-
site race, and to that fact is due the
mental qufckness and physical vigor
that have sent the Americans to the
front" 1t is also because the English
are composite race that they have
forged to the front. There is no
Anglo-Saxon race in existence.

In paragraph on Rev. Joseph Cook,
who recently passed in his checks at
the Hub, Father Phelan of the West
ern Waterman says: "He was i'm

and he took to the pen. Then was it
discovered that the proud eagle was a
very ordinary goose. People then re-
fused to believe him even when he re-
viled the Catholic church. Fulton and
Cook were birds of feather; but the
former was the cleaner of the two"
With all respect to the sentinel of the
Catholic faith at St Louis, we can not
believe that Joe Cook was dirtier than
Justin Fulton. In our opinion the lat
ter was the filthiest American bigot of
the nineteenth century,

1t appears that the British lords are
intent on keeping the royal oath almost
as offensive as it is at present. This
is an open, unwarranted affront to the
millions of Catholics over whom the
British crown claims to exercise au-

is perhaps as well that they should
show their hand.
