An explanation has been made, but the
real difficulty lies i'm getting it before
those who have seen the misquotation.
What was actually said was this: "The
president Of the United States was not
the victim of personal enemies. 1t may
be said that he was victim of unre
stricted liberty. King Humbert and
President Car'not We're similar victims.
1t is clear that the hatred of the So,

cations were established in the diocese,
it would be detriment to the Catho-
lie cause to split the Catholic forces
still more. True to this principle, we
refused to give our approval to sew
eral new organizations desiring to get
a foothold in the diocese. Thus, we
refused to grant permission for the
foundation of council of the Catholic
knights of Columbus, when called
upon by committee desirous Of OBJ
tanning the episcopal sanction. In
spite Of this, the work of soliciting
members has been going on in East
st. Louis and Belleville, and the for
NAL organization of the council is to
take place ut East st. Louis tomorrow,
Sunday afternoon. Now, we appeal
to the pastors to persuade their peo-
pie not to join said organization. There
can be no doubt but that the. greater
part of the men intending to join the
council Of the knights of Columbus
have been induced to hand In their
application, not knowing that the coun-

opposition Of the bishop of the diocese
Please make the contents Of this letter

as may seem fit for the occasion.
Yours truly, JOHN JANSEN,
Bishop Of Belleville.
Whatever may be thought of the rea-
son given by the bishop for his oppo-
sltion, 1t is clear that he does not con-
demn the society as secret, or in any
way Objectionable in itself. He simply
opposes any Increase in the number Of
societies of whatever kind in his do
cese. In this view Of the case it does
not appear that the bishop has gone
beyond his legitimate authority, MS he
is free to admit or not into mis- diocese
even the religious societies recognized
by the church. such as the Jesuits,
Franciscans, Dominicans, etc.

The report that Bishop Jansen, of
the diocese Of Belleville, has condemn
ed the knights Of Columbus as Sc
cret society is incorrect, as the follow.

violence, insult, personal abuse, social
alienation. England is suffering in her
very vitals from an iniquitous war,
whose end is not in sight, and whose
cost in men and money is even less

The Irish standard., 1901-10-26


the least evil of the war is the way in
which it is rending England itself
into two hostile camps, and weakening
that national cohesion which is indis-
pensible to the safety of the country.
For the first time in modern history,
the government is pursuing war
which the best conscience Of the ma
tion actively condemns. 1t is not a
worse war than many others the coun-
try has waged, even in modern times.
1t is no worse than the two opium wars
in China, for instance, or the invasion
Of Afghanistan in 1873, or the attack
on Egypt in 1882. But these infamies
were never brought home in their in
fanny to the mind of the classes which
keep a conscience, as the present war
has been. England is divided as never
before in her history, for the division
caused by her war ON revolutionary
France, and her wars with Napoleon
was division Of political sympathy
and not of conscience. In both wars
the serious and religious elements of
the nation were ON the side of the
government and supported the war,
though not always on adequate
grounds.
England cannot afford such divi-
sion, and the less so with the whole
body of the Irish people so hostile to
English government as to be ready to
support any invader who would un.
dertake to overthrow it. The rise Of
Irish Nationalism has made her posi-
tion one of far greater difficulty than
at any previous period of her history,
and less of unanimity among her peo-
pie as to the great principles of inter-
national politics is peril of her fu-
ture. Yet at this moment the only
English politician who has force
enough to command the confidence Of
the party in power-the man who is
sure to step into the premiership with
In five years-is q man whom large
share Of the English and a still larger
share Of the Scotch people regard
with an absolute loathing. Mr.. Cham
berlain has become Tory necessity
through the collapse of the younger
leaders who have grown up in the
shade of the Marquis of Salisbury; ard
Mr.. <Chamberlain's accession to power
would muster against the ministry a
kind Of opposition which no other man
has ever faced, not excepting Castle
reagh. 1t would he an opposition
strong in the character of the men com.
posing it, and bitter to the last degree,
because Of the mans share in the cruel
and unprincipled war on the Beers.
Once it was the boast Of England
that, whatever the difference of its
people over questions Of reform and
administration at home, they present
ed united front to all the world. They
could assume that every public man, Of
whatever party, had large body Of
agreements with other public men.

this is no longer true. Engllshmen de-

TOLD BY THE OLD CIRCUS MAN
How the Great Giant of the show
Used to Play His Big Ae-
cOrdfOn.

sThese summer nights when / hear
somebody playing the accordion, it
always makes me think" said the old
circus man, relates the New York
Sun, "of the great giant and his ac-
cordion.
"Of course we had to have an instru-
ment made for him, to get one of suit
able size. The giant enjoyed playing
1t Immensely; but fortunately for
Dther people he played it mostly away
from cities, and in the winter, when
windows were closed. He did give 'em
an accordion solo occasionally in the
show, as feature; but he did so many
other things that the accordion was
heard, even there, only incidentally
and occasionally. 1t was when we
were settled down in winter quarters,
where the giant could suit himself in
all his fancies, that he used to play
the accordion most.
"Then nights, when he felt in the
mood, he'd get out the great wind-box
and play 1t was about as big as a
good-sized packing trunk, the body of
1t was, or maybe little bit bigger
than that, and of course il opened out
considerable wider than that. in the
plating.
"The giant would sit down before
the fireplace in his room, which was
a room, you remember. perhaps my
telling you, that was carried up clear
through two stories; he'd sit down in
front of the fireplace and throw one
leg over the other, and. rest one end
of that accordion on his knee, and lean
back in his chair and play, keeping
il up sometimes by the hour together;
pulling the old accordion apart, wide
open, and then pushing il in together
again, just the same as every accordi-
on player does. first sounding notes
and grand chords and that sort Of
thing. and now and then dropping into
a tune.
"And say, let me tell you; he wasn't
bad player, either. after all. When
he used TO play Nellie Gray and
things like that. he almost used TO
weep himself. and I'm blessed II the
rest of us didn't think ii was pretty
rood, too. And out there in the coun-
try. and in winter with the windows
shut, 1t never disturbed anybody
"I've often wondered since what
ever became Of that big accordion?
suppose people would think IL was .
curiosity now"

TOR HAVE A TRUMP CARD.
Licenses VIII BE Revoked After Two
Convictions or Pleas OF Guilty
Several Arrests Made.

Judge Afford and Prosecutor Ruckeishaus
may take steps against saloon keepers VINO
violate the law. There is a provision in the
law that license for selling liquor may
be revoked If a caloon keeper pleads guilty
to two violations or is found guilty in two
cases, and that the court shall revoke the
license upon the third finding or plea OF
guilty. Judge Afford is quoted as saying
he Will apply this section Of the law when
such case presents itself.
There have been several arrests on indict-
Dents returned by the grand jury for
iiquor-law violations. Yesterday Joseph
Parrish ano John Heitkam, keepers of
roadhouses in North Indianapolis. were ar
rested on information furnished the grand
Jury by members Of the Anti-roadhouse

dictments were returned against Parrish
AID four against Heitkam. Heitkam gave
bond, but Parrish was placed in jail be-
cause he was unable to get security. Pres

Moses Barnett was arrested on an indict-
ment, charged with violating the trade
