That the contractors, Messrs. Gil

The Outlook states on the authority
of an American that Protestant
meeting was held in a Catholic parish
church three miles from Manila. Com
menting on this item of information
the New York Freeman's Journal says:
Have they already actually begun the
church plundering program carried out
i'll Ireland at the time of the ''reforma-
tion?" What right, in justice or law,
had those Protestants to hold their
meeting in the Malabai Catholic parish
church? No more right than the Cath
olics of New York would have to seize
Trinity church and have Mass said in
it. How is it that Protestant mission
aries apparently see nothing wrong in
violating the command, "Thou shalt
not STEAL" when the thing stolen is
church property belonging to Catho-
lies?

Hon. John f. Finerty speaks this
evening at the Exposition on '"rhe
Poets and Orators of Ireland" He is
sure to be greeted by an appreciative
and enthusiastic audience. Mr.. Fin

Besides being an orator of pre-eminent
ability he is a splendid writer in prose
and verse. AS an Irishman he is one
of the foremost men of his race and
is recognized as such at home and
abroad. Whether in congress, on the

has always reflected credit on the land
OF his birth. AS champion Of Irish

long to slip out of our congressional
contract with Cuba and give her some
thing better in the place Of it. 1t is a
rich country, and many Of us are al
ready beginning to see that the con-
tract was sentiment, mistake. But
now-right now-is the best time to
do some profitable rehabilitating work
work that will set us up and make
us comfortable, and discourage Cos
sip. We can not conceal from our.
selves that, privately, we are little
bit troubled about our uniform. 1t is
one of our prides; it is acquainted with
honor; it is familiar with great deeds
and noble; we love it, we revere it;
and so this GRAND it is on makes us
uneasy. And our flag-mother pride
of ours, our chiefest. We have wor-
SHIPPED it so; and when we have seen
it in far lands-glimpsing it uneXpect-
edly in that strange sky, waving it's
welcome and benediction to us-we
have caught our breath, and uncovered
our heads, and couldn't speak. for Il
moment, for the thought of what it
was to us and the great ideals it stood
for. Indeed, we must do something
about these things; we must not have
the flag out there, and the uniform
They are not needed there; we can
manage in some other way. England
manages, as regards the uniform, and
so can we. We have to send soldiers
we cant get out of that-but we can
disguise them. 1t is the way England
does in South Africa. Even Mr.. Cham
bcrlain himself takes pride in Eng
lands honorable uniform, and makes
the army down there wear an ugly
and odious and appropriate disguise,
of yellow stuff such as quarantine
flags are made of, and which are hoist
ed to warn the healthy away from
unclean disease and repulsive death.
This cloth is called khaki. We could
adopt it. 1t is light, comfortable, gro
tesque, and deceives the enemy, for
he can not conceive of a soldier being
concealed in it.
"And as for flag for the Philippine
province, it is easily managed. We
can have special one-our states do
it; we can have Just our usual flag,
with the white stripes painted black
and the stars replaced by the skull
and cross-bones.
"And we do not need that civil COM
mission out there. Having no powers,
it has to invent them, and that kind
of work can not be effectively done
by just anybody; an expert is required.
We do not want the United States
represented there, but only the game.
''By help Of these suggested amend
ments, progress and civilization in
that country can have a boom, and it
will take in the persons who are sitting
in darkness, and we can resume bust
ness at the old stand"

MARK TWAIN AS A SATIR1sr.

The American humorist, Samuel l..
Clemens. better known as Mark
Twain, has lately developed into a
satirist of the first rank. Never since
the days of Swift and Junius has po-
litical hypocrisy been exposed so eff
fcctually nor with greater sarcasm
than by Mark Twain in his article in
tire February North American Review
entitled "The Person Sitting in Dark
ness" He lashes the Mckinley i'm
pcrialists numerically and makes
them vince. His production has elicit
ed harsh criticism from the plutocratic
press Of the country, but patriotic
Americans of all parties think more Of
Mark Twain now than they ever did
before. The following extract is typi-
cal of the article in dealing with Nc
Kinlcy's policy Of benevolent assimi-
lation in the Philippines:
'There have been lies; yes, but they
were told in good cause. We have
been trcacherous; but that was only
in order that real good might come
out of apparent evil. True, we have
crushed deceived and confding peo-
pie; we have turned against the weak
and the friendless who trusted us; we
have stamped out Il just and intelli-
gent and well-ordered republic; we
have stabbed an ally in the back and
slapped the face Of guest; we have
bought a shadow from the enemy that
hadn't it to sell; we have robbed a
trusting friend of his land and his
liberty; we have invited our clean
young men to shoulder a discreditcd
musket and do bandits work under a
flag which bandits have been accus-
toned to fear, not to follow; we have
dcbauched Americas honor and
blackened her face before the world;
but each detail was for the best. We
know this. The head of every state
and sovereignty in Christcndom, and
ninety per cent of every legislative
body In Christendom. including our
congress and our fifty state legisla-
lures, are members not only of the
church. but also of the Blessings-of-
Civilization Trust. This world-gird.
ling accumulation Of trained morals,
high principles. and justice, can not
do an upright thing, an unfair thing,
an ungenerous thing, an unclean thing.
1t knows what it is about. Give
yourself no uneasiness; it is all right.
Everything is prosperous, now;
everything Is just as we should wish
1t. We have got the archipelago, and
we shall never give it up. Also, we
have every reason to hope that we
shall have IN opportunity before very

Edward VII. was greatly disappoint-

mother in the Catholic churches of the

oath on his accession to the throne

EENGLAND'S REPLY TO AMERICA.

The Hay-Pauncefote treaty as
amended in the United States senate
has been rejected by England. The
secretary of state has no disposition
to enter into further negotiations with
Ambassador Pauncefote in the matter,
and so the senate must take action one
way or the other, when it convenes
at the end of the year.
The British government evidently
desires the Nicaraguan canal to be Of
an international character, while the
senate wants it to be American to all
intents and purposes. The British
diplomats assume deferential tone,
but think the abrogation Of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty by the senate too
sweeping and too far-reaching to be
agreed to by their government. The
Davis amendment is too much for
them to swallow. The United States
senate had adjourned before England's
reply arrived, but Senator Morgan of
Alabama made speech before adj
journment in which he emphatically
declared that the canal would be built
by the United States without consult
ing the wishes Of England in the enter
prise, and that if England assumed
any threatening attitude this country
would be ready to meet her and wipe
her off the continent if war ensued.
The Anglo-American press has ridi-
culed Senator Morgan for his bellicose
utterances, but he knows he has the
hearty endorsement Of the American
people outside the pro-British element.
The London press is angry because
the Hay-Pauncefotc treaty was not
left in it's original form, and the Tory
organ known as the London Standard
gives vent to it's spleen as follows OH
the Monroe doctrine:
''The new republic is taking an ac-
tive interest in the worlds politics and
the time has come when the idea that
the western hemisphere is to be re-
garded as a preserve for American en-
terprise should finally be exploded.
English interests are quite rs para
mount as those of the sister states and
it cannot be long before the attention
OF the continental powers will be more
directly drawn to the commercial pos
sihilities of the dormant southern half
OF the continent
In view of the fact that Mckinley
and his band of imperialists have gone
to the eastern hemisphere on a bucca-
ncering expedition. there is some force
in. what the Standard says; but Eng
land might as we'll understand now as
ut later period that the American
people are as unanimous in adhering
to the Monroe doctrine under McIzin-
ley as they were under Cleveland.
And furthermore, the canal will be
built when America gets ready, with
out the aid or consent of any other
nation whatsoever. This country will
own the Nicaraguan canal as England
owns the Suez canal.

The Western Waterman says "there
is no doubt that the election of Mr..
Bryan would have been great mis-
fortune for religion in the Antilles and
the Philippines" In what way could
it be q misfortune? Would religion
suffer by Filipino self-government?
Why does it not suffer elsewhere where
the people govern themselves? Ac-
cording to the logic of the Waterman,
it is better for religion to have Ireland
remain always under British tyranny.
The Catholic religion in the late Span

The London correspondent Of the
New York Times, an Englishman
named A. j. Wilson, blames Balfoui'
and the Speaker for the recent row
with the Irish members in parliament
He says: All parties We're guilty, and
he by no means the least, because tire
wrath of the Irishmen was stirred by
his contemptuous management Of the
House. All that evening he was rarely
in his place, and when he thought the
talking had continued long enough he
without warning, Enthusiastically rose
and moved the closure. The truth is
that political designs Of all kinds are
perpetual bore to this elegant and
over-refined man, whose place ought
to be i'll some esthetical academy or
speculative Athenian grove of learned
trifers. Amiable and, except when
scratched, sweet hammered, Balfour is
a persona grata to the members as an
Individual, but intolerable even to his
own party as leader. Had he given
warning that the debate would be
forcibly closed that night there would
have been no trouble, because the Irish
leaders would then have seen that
their wilder and less experienced fol-
lowers did not go too far. Had the
Speaker, moreover, when called in, fol.
lowed the precedent Of 1893 and or
dered that the division be Cancelled
there would have been no necessity
for the police. Their appearance in
side the House was an unforgivable
outrage.
