England buys such commodities from

There can be no real harmony be-

The assertion that "blood is thicker

General Gomez astonished most peo-
pie in this country by declaring at a
banquet given in his honor at New
York that the destiny of Cuba un-
questionably was to be annexed to the
United States.-The New World. As
General Gomez is soldier of fortune
on the pension roll of the Mckinley
administration, his declaration about
annexation should astonish no one. He
came to the United States to speak in
that way for value received. Gomez
will do everything possible to bring
about the annexation of the island.

The Irish World has richly deserved
the everlasting ennity of Orangemen
at home and abroad. For 10! these
many years 1t has been firing hot shot
at the devoted heads of the loyal fol-
lowers of King William on horseback.
"Balt time alone makes all things
even," and the Orangemen at last have
''got even" with the Irish World for
Its vituperation of their noble order!
One August Bedford, of Milk street,
Boston, Mass, the grand secretary Of
"The American Flag Protectors -
caused the circulation of the Irish
World Of July 6 to he stopped through
out the Old Bay State. The Irish
World of that date contained on its
front page the terrific arraignment Of
the king, parliament and people Of
Great Britain by the immortal Thomas
Jefferson. That was enough to make
the blood of any Orangeman boil with
Indignation in hot weather. But the
Irish World also contained cartoon
entitled alag Day in the Philippines -
On the folds of the flag were the
words: s"This flag stands for liberty,
equality, independence, justice and fra
ternity, If congress or the president
so will" Now, according to the law
of Massachusetts it is dissertation Of
the flag to have any words appear on
it, and SO Bedford, of Milk street,
Boston, saw his opportunity for sweet
revenge on the Irish World. OF course,
the Irish World only gets free adver-
tising, but August Bedford has proved
himself patriot by protecting the
American flag from insult. What the
Irish World will do in the matter Ne
mains to be seen.

eyed goddess fame, Is particularly
pleased with the wise mem Of Ohio
and calls them ''the Buckeye valiants,"
because they had the courage to get
away from dead issues.
The goldites and imperialists of the
Democratic party have no cause for
rejoicing for eliminating silver from
the Ohio state platform. What differ
ence does it make to them? They can
never elect a ticket without the CO.
operation of the silver men whom they
deserted and betrayed in 1896 and
1900.
William ]. Bryan has declared that
he is no longer candidate for the
presidency; but he naturally feels
piQued at the action of the gold bugs
of Ohio who on two occasions failed
to support him and cast their influence
with Mckinley, plutocrucy and the
trusts.
AS far as silver is concerned the
Irish Standard is convinced that the
majority of the people Of the country
do not want It on an equality with
gold at the legal coinage ratio of 16
to 1. We believe it was not judicious
on the part of the Democracy to have
placed silver plank in the Kansas
City platform; not because it was not
right, but because it was not expedient.
The fact is that the people do not I'M
derstand the financial question, for
they have never studied its principles.
The average voters in both parties
have only an elementary knowledge of
it, because it is above their comprehen-
sion. Had the Democratic party imi-
tated the Republican party and sacri-
feed principle to expediency, the
money plank would have been omitted
in the Kansas City platform.
The Republican panty constructs a
platform to win the victory by catch
ing gudgeons who follow the leaders
like a flock Of sheep. What does THAT
party care for its platform declara-
tions? Does it fulfill the pledges made
to the country? Does Mckinley keep
his promises? Emphatically no. The
people like to. be humbugged and the
Republicans ere adopts III the art Of
deception.
1t is time for the national Democracy
to take new tack and learn wisdom
from experience. The people have no
inclination to agdtate or study the
money question, and it is too soon to
discuss the issues of the next cam
padgn. The best thing for the Democ-
racy to do is to unite both wings of the
parity. The only bone of contention
is the Almighty Dollar. Let that rest
just now. 1t is suicidal to keep up the
internecine strife. If victory is to be
Won IN state or nation, factionism
must be suppressed. The promoters
of discord must be cast aside. The
gold Democrats must not be permitted
to assume control of the party, but
they should be welcomed back like
prodigals if they manifest the proper
disposition. Bryan must not be ia
get for their abuse. He is the great
commoner, and though defeated twice
he will remain a power for good in
the councils of the party that honored
him. We are glad that he endorses
the nominees of the Democratic party
in Ohio and urges their support.

mo papal gag shall be placed in the
mouth of the king Of England"
Colonel Sandys in his memorial adj
mits that, IL the kings declaration
were intended as an insult to Roman
Catholic subjects of the British crown,
it could not be justified. Colonel
Sandys however, insists that it is not
intended as an insult, but as neces-
sary safeguard of England's civil and
religious liberties. The Imperial Prot
estant Federation holds that, If Eng
lishmen are to retain their civil and
religious liberties uninjured. ''it is alb
solutely essential to have Protestant
king, who must be one, not in name
only, but in reality, apd, therefore, 1t
is provided by the Bill of Rights that
he shall do some public protesting
against Rome as a specimen and an
evidence of his Professionalism" This
public protesting against Rome is done
in the kings declaration, as it stands
at present.
The Imperial Protestant Federation
further reminds the House of Lords
that British Catholics have no more
right to regard as insulting the denun-
citation of the doctrine of transubstan-
tiation in the kings declaration than
the members of the Anglican Com
munion have to deprecate as invidious
the oath which was taken by Edward
VII. on his accession to the Kingdom of
Scotland on Jan. %, 1901. It is pointed
out that by the last-named oath the
king pledged himself to support among
other things, the following proposition:
That prelacy and the superiority of
any office in the church above pres
byters is and hath been a great and I'M
supportable grievance and trouble to
this nation, and contrary to the inclina-
tons of the generality Of the people
ever since the Reformation, they hav-
ing reformed from popery by presby-
tiers, and, therefore, ought to be abol-
ished." lit Is obvious that the king,
by swearing to maintain such an as
sertion, must annoy many Episcopal
ans of the Church Of England residing
in Scotland, and also the Scottish
Episcopal church. The Imperial Prot
estant Federation, however, submit
that this is not sufficient reason for
eras!ng any part of the Scottish Access
sion oath. 1t IS certain that the Prot
estants Of Scotland would never sane.
tion any alteration in that oath on the
plea that 1t denounces prelacy and uses
far stronger language against the pope
of Rome, the sacrifice of the mass and
transIbstantiation
If the Imperial Protestant Federation
may be looked upon as speaking for
the great mass of English Professionals,
we must infer that the latter, like the
vast majority Of Scots, believe the as
sertion complained of in the royal dec
hrtion to be true, and believe also
that the British nation has the right to
hold such an opinion, If it chooses, and
to express publicly that opinion
In constitutional manner through the
mouth Of its king. In other words,
while the people of the British empire
are willing to grant liberty of speech
to Roman Catholics, they are deter
mined to retain It for themselves, not
only as individuals, but as a 4 nation.

10 the first question the Irish Stand

to the second question, Yes. The own
ership of the sold is a subsidiary ques-
tion and is inclnded in the paramount
question of national autonomy. The

among the Irish in Dublin, Cork and

mistaken. II our friend Fitzgerald
could speak from personal observation
we Think he would soon change his
opinion. In the Irish cities named

They wear the same clothes on Sun

remain so and eventually become pau

"You have heard of Poland, the
chivalrous nation, the nation of no.
bles, in whose veins flowed the blue
blood that astonished Europe by its
heroism. Well, a hundred years ago.
Austria aud Prussia defeated all it's
efforts and crushed it out of sight.
Poland rebelaed, and rebelled, and re-
belled; she was crushed every time.
Her language is a forgotten tradition.
Her laws are felony to cite. Her
mobiles are wanderers on the face Of
the earth. If you look on the map
there is no Poland. A hundred years
have done it. A hundred years have
annililated her. There was Ireland,
half us large, half as populous, isolat-
ed from the continent by the ocean,
tied ito England, separated from Eu
rope. For seven hundred years the
omnipotent Anglo-SaNon has smiven
to grind the Irish race to powder. But,
yet, after those seven hundred years,
Ireland still stands, with the national
flag in one hand and the crucifix OF
CathOlicity in the other"
The Irish people of today are as de-
termined as their forefathe1s for ma
tional independence. They send repre-
sentatives to the English parliament
to obtain the national rights of which
they were deprived by bribery and
force. The agrarian movement of
O'BGien is sanctioned by the parlia-
mentary representatives as an auxiA-
airy to the national movement, and is
of minor significance, though indies
pensuble for keeping the people on the
land.
We cannot agree with the Globe
that it was surely England's Difficult
ty" when the Beers rose and SUCCESS
fully met the English forces in battle
after battle, and that ireland should
avail herself of the opportunity" re-
ferred to by O'Connell. It would be
criminal folly for the Irish to rise in
rebellion during the Boer war. They
have no military equipments to make a
decent fight. There are British re4.
memts in Ireland, supplemented by
constabulary and militia, who are
ready to pounce on an unarmed people.
Had the Dutch republics been as close
to England as ireland is, and had
they been Gsarmed as the Irish are,
how long could they hold out? Were
the American colonies as close to Eng
land as Ireland is, aid were the COL
onists unarmed, what could they have
done? 1t took eight years to expel the
red-coats with the aid of France. No,
the opportunity" has not yet come to
Ireland. 1t will surely come some day
when England is engaged in pro-
longed, deadly struggle with a great
power that will furnish arms to the
Irish in Ireland to fight with. Until
that time comes, Ireland should not
rise in instruction. There must be
no repetition of the rebellion of 1893
until success Is assured.
