The president in his message said
that the Filipinos had already re-

emphatically that. he means by self
government what the people of the
United States have always meant by
self-government, the right to national
independence if they desired. think
he should say in terms that when they
have government fairly representing
their people, able to maintain itself,
and that government expresses it's de-

thirteen original colonies were gov

have taxation without representa-

down, hanged and imprisoned. If they
were promised real self-government
they would lay down their bolos at
once.

The Tory papers Of Canada are at
lacking Sir Wilfred Laurier, the pre-
mier of the Dominion, for attending
the banquet of Redmond, McHugh and
O'Donnell at Ottawa. The French
Canadian statesman, in speech on
Ireland, said, among other things:
''Let the English people treat the Irish
people as they have treated the Cana
dian people. Let them trust the Irish
people as they have trusted the Cana
dian people. Let them appeal to their
hearts, to their gratitude, to their
nobler sentiments. Let them loosen
the grip in which they now hold that
unfortunate land; let them give them
ONE measure Of local liberty; let them
restore the parliament of College
Green, and venture to say that this
long accumulated bitterness will melt
away in a very few years and the
bond Of union between England and
ireland will be stronger than it ever
was before, bond of union based on
mutual affection and respect"

THE BlsHopR1c OF SIOUX CITY.

1t has been the uniform policy of the
Irish Standard during the sixteen
years of it's publication to refrain from
meddling in ecclesiastical affairs when
alleged discussions are said to exist
between the prelates and priests of the
Church. We entertain such an cx
allied opinion of the hierarchy and
clergy that we are grieved to sec
them represented by the yellow jour-
nails OF the day as scramblcrs for &C.
clcsiastical preferment.
We read that Archbishop Ireland
and Archbishop Elder are rivals for a
cardinals red hat, and that the Irish
and the Germans among the hierarchy
arc bringing every pressure to bear
upon the Vatican for their respective
candidates. Again, we read of the
wire-pulling tactics of the prelates
and priests anent the Sioux City do

1t is again denied that England was
instrumental in preventing coalition
of European powers against the
United States during the war with
Spain. A French statesman says
that his country was ready to act as

serve peace. He adds that Count
Mouravieff, Russian minister of for
eign affairs, absolutely refused to
have Russia mix itself in the quarrel.

Frenchman, ''and not any measure

impossible" What now becomes

friendship Of the two Anglo-Saxon

uttered in no uncertain tone and that
its utterance will bring deliverance to
the Beers, assure progress to the hui

But will President Roosevelt speak
the word? We think not. The Philip
pine islands are the obstacle in the
way. He is an imperialist of the most
rampant type, and he cannot consist
emily ask the British jingoes to cease
doing what he is bent on doing him
self in the Orient. He cannot speak
the one word with any grace when he
is engaged in the same kind of bust
ness. His soldiers in the Philippines
are driving the young men from the
seaport towns into the interior, and
they cannot return until they bring
with them rebel prisoners to prove
their allegiance. We believe that he
could stop the shipment of horses and
mules, for they are surely contraband
of war. We believe he could bring
the South African war to a speedy
close without involving this country
in war, but he will do neither one nor
the other until the American people
cry out in their might to have him put
a stop to British inhumanity and save
a gallant race from determination.

Quoth Father Cronin in the Buffalo
Union and Times: That dapper little
man of fiction, Conan Doyle-who is
recreant to the creed and country of
his fathers-declared at the American
Thanksgiving dinner in London, that
'the pendulum of the British world
had now shifted to somewhere be-
tween New York and Chicago" That
is the most outlandish bit of fiction
that this renegade Irishman ever con-
cocted. Let him try to swing his
British pendulum in Chicago or New
York, and how soon he'd be brought
to time. AS to Buffalo-equi-dista be-
tween both-the only British pendulum
ever swung here was when British
savagery laid the young village in ash
es. The Buffalo of today owes moth
ing of her growth and glory to British
influence, but to the toll and enter
prise of the children of Ireland, Ger
many, France and Poland, who made
citizen homes Within her gates.

The lying correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Telegraph wrote the follow
ing from Galway during the recent
election: "The rioting is not confined
to the lower classes, for even men Of
high position enter into free fights.
Bosom friends of few days ago are
now the bitterest of enemies; it is a
war of father against son and brother
against brother. Women, underneath
their shawls, have stones, bottles, and
other missiles concealed, which they
use on each other with great de-
termination. 1t is a common sight to
see men and women with bandaged
heads parading the streets, while
scores Of others appear with faces and
clothing covered with blood" The
malignant Saxon son of Ananias who
slandered the Irish men and women Of
Galway in that style ought to have
been tarred and feathered and cast
into Tough Corrib with a mill stone
around his neck.

FREEDOM OF The PRESS.

The Chicago-American, which cham
pions the cause of the people against
the taX-dodging corporations, has
won a glorious victory over Judge
Elbridge Hanecy who recently SEN
fenced it's editor and reporter to the
Cook county Jail for forty and thirty
days. respectively, for alleged con-
tempt of court. The two men were
rescued from the clutches of the
arbitrary judge OH writ of habeas
corpus and brought before Judge
Dunno, who after listening to the
facts in the case as presented before
him by five of the ablest lawyers in
Chicago representing the paper, and by
Judge Shope and an assistant, repre-
senting Judge Hanecy, discharged the
accused from custody and declared
they We're justified in their comments
Oh Hanecy's decision, and that he
could seek redress like any other citi-
zen if the paper was guilty of libel.
The contempt case grew out of the
fight of the Chicago American on the
gas trust, in whose favor Judge
Hanecy had rendered an oral decision
which was commented on by the pa
per. Judge Hanecy claimed it was
contempt on the part of the paper to
make any comment whatsoever until
the clerk of the court had recorded
his decision. which could be done any
time during the term of court. Judge
Dunno did not s,lstnin Hanecy ON
that point, and declared that if that

We're done the historian would take
the place of the reporter. The pub
lie We're entitled to be informed every
day of What transpires in the courts
of justice. ''There is no good reason"
said Judge Dunno, "why a Judge
should have Il different law applied to
him from that applied to president,
a governor or Il member Of the legis-
lature." He said that just criticism
is permissible and is a duty of the
press. AS to unjust criticism, Judge
had redress by due process of the law
like any other aggrieved citizen, but
he could not constitute himself as
judge, witness and juror and wreak
vengeance upon his critics by de-
priving them of their liberty.
The decision of Judge Dunno is a
grand victory for freedom of the press
against the arbitrary actions of poll
ticians who get on the bench in the
interest Of corporations. The crit
icism made by the Chicago American
was Constructive contempt if con-
tempt at all, for it was made outside
the precincts of the court and not in
it's, presence. The proceedings of
the court are public property and the
public has right to be informed

tempt committed in the presence of
the court, summary punishment is
provided. The Judge can uphold the
dignity of his court by either fine or
Imprisonment when the offence is
committed in his presence, but for
criticisms and publication of facts
concerning himself when not made in
his presence, he cannot take upon
himself the duties of judge, prosecutor
and trial jury, and send his critics to
Jail.
Every good citizen desires to see
proper respect for courts enforced by
law. It is rarely that Judge has
to resort to punishment to maintain
the dignity Of his position. If a
vicious attack is made on a Judge by
newspaper, he is justified in vindi-
eating himself in any way he sees
fit, but when he assumes to be compe-
tent to punish by virtue of his judici-
al authority, he goes little too far.
The name of Judge Hanecy is now
well known throughout the land.
When running for mayor of Chicago
last year it was shown by the Chicago
American that his real name was Pat
rick Hennessy and that he had
changed his name and creed to ad-
vance his worldly interests. It was
because of that revelation more than
any thing else that he wanted to
vent his spleen on the editor and re-
porter of the paper. He was baked
by an upright and learned Judge of the
same race and creed from which he
is renegade. We congratulate the
Chicago American on it's discontinue
Of Judge Hanecy and hope it will
ultimately succeed in driving him
from the bench.

Thomas Clarke Luby, who recently
died in Jersey City at the age of near
ly 80 years, will be remembered in
Irish history. He was one of the
editors of the Dublin Irish People in
1865. and was arrested with Rossa
OLeary and Hickman. Judge Keogh
sentenced him to penal servitude for
a term of twenty years. On his
release he came to the United States
with his health so shattered that
he was only partially able to re-
sumo his literary labors in the pro-
duction of a "Life of Daniel O'Con-
nell' and ELVES of Illustrious and
Representative Irishmen," and other
subjects. He was the son of an Epis-
copalian clergyman, and n graduate of
Trinity College. His speech from the
dock was a noble vindication of his
patriotic principles. His concluding
words We're: "When the proceedings
of this trial go forth to the world, peo-
pie will say the cause of Ireland is
not to be despaired of, that Ireland, is
not yet lost country-that as long as
there are men in any country prepared
to expose themselves to every difficult
ty and danger in it's service, prepared
to brave captivity, even death itself if
need be, that country cannot be lost"
May the soul Of this Protestant pa
triot, who suffered Imprisonment and
exile for Ireland's sake, rest in peace
in the mansions of eternal bliss.
