With all his popularity, Father
O'Leary. the Canadian chaplain of
South African fame, failed to receive
the appointment Of chaplain of the
senate at Ottawa, Ont. He is the man
who prayed over the dead Canadians
at Paardeberg according to the Protest
ant ritual. That made him a hero
with the Orangemen, but when he ap-
peared as Il candidate for the chap
laincy at home they gave him the cold
shoulder. The position of chaplain of
the Canadian senate was abolished
rather than appoint him. That is how
heroism and patriotism are rewarded
by Protestant bigots.

In leading article by way of reply
to the NorthW estern Catholic, John Il.
Finerty says: "Speak Nothing but
Good Of the Dead" is a stupid old
aphorism. We suggest as an up-to-
late amendment, "Speak Nothing but
the Truth Of the Dead" Does Mr..
Glenn, as good Catholic, speak
nothing but good" Of Henry VIII,
or Of Elizabeth, or of Oliver Cromwell,
or George w., or of Billy Pitt, or
Castlereagh, or the informer Reynolds,
who betrayed Lord Edward, or of the
other scoundrels who have scourged
humanity, particularly Irish human
ity?

In his address at Il meeting of the
Irish bar in Dublin, The McDermott,
Q. c., degenerate Irishman, spoke
as follows of the late Empress of
India: "On nobler brow no crown
ever rested than OH hers, for she found
in the hearts of her people the love
and affection that enabled her to gov
ern not by prerogative, but by aifcc-
ton. A constitutional ruler she was,
but She reigned in the hearts of her
people, and the constitution vanished" !"

The Republicans in the Minnesota
legislature propose to double Governor
Van SAINTS salary and make it $4,000
Il year. That is what the governor of
New York receives, though the porula-
ton of the Empire state is about four
times that of Minnesota. Had John
Lind been the present incumbent $4,000
would be considered enough for him.
Perhaps the Minnesota legislature
wishes to initiate the national congress
in extravaganza. Why don't the Re-
publican statesmen double their own
pay? They appear to be the bosses
and not the servants of the people.

Hanna's ship subsidy bill got it's
quietus from Senator Teller who told
it's author that he could not loot the
United States treasury during the pres

boss Mckinley but he cannot boss the
Senate while men like Teller are men,

steal $1SOO00,OO0 out of the pockets

history Of the country. The Republi-

posed the gigantic steal from the

The "Federal Party" in the Philip
pines, of which we have lately heard
so much, is composed Of an American,
who was chief spy for Otis; Spanish
doctor, who is now an Americana; a
Spanish lawyer, who holds office; and
four Filipino rascals, three of whom are
employees of Uncle Sam, as represented
by Macarthur. From the noise they
make one would think the "Federal
Party" comprised nearly all the inhabi-
tants of the archipelago.

Swelled by India's sullen tide;

dead, dead, dead, o Queen,
And your straDger-face Irish eyes
have seen .
Only four times in Queenly life,
Visions levying tax and strife!
Irish heroes to fight your foes,
Spared the blood of your English
rose;
Irish taxes from gaunt hands wrung,
lowered brdals the crowns among!
Famine? Fever? Evictions?'
Hush!
Vulgar truths start the royal blush..
Men and taxes conceded, spare
England the taint of Irish air!
Dead, dead, dead, o Queen, /,
But your wrongs survive 'gainst the
Gold and Green!
Alien laws and English lives
Crush the native, while stranger
thrives;
Hate opposes both church and school,
Greed of empire denies Home Rule:
Youth is driven across the sea,
Manhood drafted for soldiery;
Starving industries, trades and arts
Cry for vengeance to Irish hearts;
You, Queen-Mother of present King,
Judgment indicts for reckoning!
Dead, dead, dead, O Queen,
Royal fgure-head, lord and liege be-
tween!
Impotence pleads but partial truth.
Queen whose power surpassed YOUR
ruth!
'Gainst the millions your boards
retain,
Set the famines that shroud your
reign!
Erin, India, owe their balms
Not to Queen, but to public aims.
Grand old Gladstone had won his
cause,
Ireland prospered meath Irish laws.
Justice triumphed in fair Home Rule.
Under Queen not England's tool!
Dead, dead, dead, o Queen, %
And your tomb the stepping-stone SET

Crumble sceptre and dynasty!

Under Military Jurisdiction.

Denver. July 9.-Judge Mullins was
called upon yesterday to pass upon Il
question of law defining the jurisdic-
ton of civil and military authority.
June 3d last J. G. Ayrcs, a civilian,
was killed near Fort Logan by Ser
geant T.. ID. Wright OF the Thirteenth
infantry. Wright was in search of a
military prisoner who escaped from
the post. mistook Ayres for his man
and killed him.
Upon demand from the district at
tOrney's office Wright was promptly
turned over to the civil authorities by
the commandant of the post. His trial
came up in the west side court and af-
ter an argument on technical point OF
law Wright was discharged. Judge
Mullins sustained n motion for dismiss
sal upon the grounds that the civil au-
thorities We're without jurisdiction and
that the case was one for the United
States Court. 1t Is not likely that
Wright will be arrested by the United
States authorities. as 1t has already
been shown that the shooting was ac-
cidental.

serious elimination is rapidly disap-
pearing. The property to-day present

Harmony and general good feeling
prevails in both Marshall basin and in
town. This morning Manager Collins
made 1t known that there was room
for $50 men at the Smugglcr, and In n
