Rev. Dr. Ament, of the Chinese Mis-.
sion Board, whom Mark Twain attacks
in the North American Review, speaks
well of Catholics in China. In recent
interview he said: "It is but fair to
the Roman Catholic Christians that
they should have their just need of
commentator for the firm stand they
took about recanting. l knew many
Catholics who, when the terrible hour
of stress came, refused to recant ami
died like heroes. The Catholic Chris
tians We're butchered in a most bar
barous manner, but they have left be-
hind them record of endurance which
is all honor to the church which trained
them" Had Mark Twain been in
China during the Boxer massacrcs and
witnessed the martyrdom of Catholics
we doubt whether he would think they
died like heroes. Mark Twain is Il
humorist and satirist but, unlike men
Of his tribe, he is inclined to be bigoted
against Catholics.

The Catholic Union and Times saws:

The Catholic Union and Times SAYS:
Everyone will respect whatever Arch
bishop Ireland says when he speaks
as an Archbishop. When he speaks as
a partisan, the case is different We
find the government for whose welfare
he is SO solictous drawing Il deadline
of distinction between the eminent
prelatc's uttcranccs. When he speaks
of the policy of this administration mad
the sublimity of things i'll general. in
SO far as these are related to the aims
of the Republican party, he is greeted
with volleys of plaudits from the adj
ministration organs. When he speaks
of the temporal power of the Pope
and the interest it should have for
peaceful governments, his observations
might as well be addressed to the Are
tic solitudes: "all the air IL solemn
stiffness holds, 80 far as the adminis-
tration press is concerned. His grace's
affection for that administration, I'M
der these circumstances, is truly

genius. We believe he was an honest
patriot, but totally incompetent to
free his country by force of arms.
The Irish people of that period had
implicit confidence in his ability to
liberate his country and his name was
terror to England. After the col
lapse OF the Fenian movement Glad
stone disestablished the Irish church
and acknowledged that he did so on
account of Fenianism. Some of the
best men of the Irish race at home and
abroad We're members of the formida-
bic conspiracy organized by Stephens.
Though it failed to accomplish it's OBJ
ject it aroused warlike spirit in the
Irish race and convinced the English
that if a favorable opportunity arose
the Irish We're willing as in the past
to shed their blood for the liberation
of their country. Another leader may
arise who may be more successful
than James Stephens. All honor to the
departed rebel for his efforts in behalf
of fatherland.

and territories belonging to England OF

and territories belonging to England or
under her protection read like the old
slave literature of before the war;
Children born of slave parents are
now free in Zanzibar and in some 9TH
err neighboring territories ruled by
Great Britain, and the process OF grad
ual emancipation is spoken of hope
fully by the government officials, but
slavery is still there On the mainland
slavery seems to be distinctly and Of
ficially recognized by the British gov
eminent in certain sections over which
it exercises a protectorate."
The writer quotes circular sent to
the missionaries by Colonel Euan-
Smith, British official, in which he
urges them not to afford any protec-
ton to runaway slaves at the
missionary stations, and to re
turn them to their Arab mas
tiers. The slave trade and slavery
is ms much of an institution" under
the British flag as ever it was in the
South before the war. Sir A. Har-
dingc, the high British official of the
East African Protectorate, quotes with
approval an Arab as saying to a mis-.
sionary:
II buy my slaves with my own hard
cash, or l risk my life and fight for
them, and then you missionaries steal
them from me and make them your
own slaves without purchase"
Sir Hardinge is a fine old English
gentleman who honestly thinks the
traffic in human blood is legitimate
business when the victims are black.
skinned, and SO he thinks Christian
missionaries should not interfere, and
if they do he brings them up with a
round turn.
In one of his bursts of Oratory OH
human freedom Curran declared that as
soon as a slave set foot on British soil
he was a free man. That may be so in
the British Islands. In Asia and At
RIGA it is otherwise The fact is that
slavery exists and nourishcs under the
pirate flag of England on two CONT
nents. Will our Angln-SaXon contem-
pornrcS deny it?

1.-The Irish question is more to the
front than ever. and the government
seems to view it with apathetic impot-
cnce," says Herbert Gladstone in Il
letter to his constituents. The recent
row in parliament brought the Irish
question more to the front before the
eyes of the world than the greatest
rhetoric could have done Rnlfour was
taught Il lesson by the Irish members
from which he can profit by permitting
discussion in future instead of apply
ing the gag rule. Freedom of speech

We have received a copy of bound
volume of the proceedings of the ninth
Minnesota state conference of chart
ties and corrections held at Winona OH
Oct. ]. 2 and 3 of last year. 1t con-
tains an address on "The Economics of
Population by Professor William w.
Folwell, of the state university, which
we consider anything but broad and
liberal from an educated American.
He is afraid Of foreign immigration.
especially from Catholic countries. eff

ants" he says, land each carried a
bag of gold, there would be plenty of

Italy and other Mediterranean lands, -
either with or without bags of gold.

NJ. Vesuvius Cannon, the eloquent
Irish attorney, supported Judge Ell
bridge Hanecy, alias Patrick Hennes-
81. for Republican mayor of Chicago,
despite the fact that he is Democrat
and Hanecy is renegade from race
and creed. What's the matter with
Cannon? Was he politically neglected
by Harrison? The Irish Nationalist
of Chicago should make note of his
conduct and relegate him to the rear
on the 18th Of August.

In recent discussion on the battle
of Waterloo in the New York Sun, c.
L. Warrender says: "Of Wellington's
army of $4,000 men which stood all
day long under the French attacks,
$4,000 were Germans-Hanoveria
Mecklenburgers, etc, in the pay of the
king Of England-a fact which is gen.
orally ignored by English historians,
except those Of strictly military and
technical kind. OF the remaining
$4,000 about one-half were Scotch mad
Irish. Not more than $4,000 English
men took part in the battle of Water:
loo. Wellington's chief of staff, who
was killed upon the field, was an
American, just as was the commander
of the Goliath, Nelson's leading ship
at the battle Of the Nile"

Some boodling on a large scale has
been going on in the Philippines. Sew
cral army officers are implicated. The
frauds in the commissary department
are not denied, and General Macarthur
has been instructed to investigate. Adj
jutant-G General Corbin says the frauds
are exaggerated. We believe young
Rice. the Manila editor, was right
when he charged the custom house
officers with embezzlement. Near
thur sent him home in irons. We are
not surprised at any peculation re-
ported from the Philippines. The
seizure of the islands by order Of Nc
Kinley is one of the most gigantic
steals in the worlds history. The
army officers. will escape with slight
punishment.

One Of the most laudable things
Judge Thomas CAVITY, late judge of the
Minnesota supreme court, ever did III
his life was to refuse the Office of
chief justice of the Philippine Islands
from the hands of the American I'M
perialists. Judge Canty is not only
a man of eminent ability in his profess
sion. hut is also a man of honor and
integrity. He is Il thorough American
who is disguised With affairs in the
Oriental colony of the United States
and is incapable of becoming the tool
of oppression i'll the work of spoliation
and robbery under the Stars and
Stripes Of the republic.
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1901-04-06

He speaks of 1.-The glorious light Of
the Reformation" He thinks Ireland
was over-populated in 1916 and says:
How hard is the lot of people whom
the motherland can no longer nourish,
and who must flee to the ends of the
earth for bread! He evidently does
not know. that during the Irish famine
food sufficient for twice the popula-
ton was being supplied from the is
land to feed it's British taskmasters.
Some parts of DR.. Folwells address
are all right, but we regret to say it
is on the whole anything but salts
factory to man Of robust American
ideas. He ought to take few lessons
in Americanism from DR.. Cyrus
Northrop.

Says the Wabasha Herald: For the
last two years the United States has
been engaged in a war of conquest in
the Philippines and for nearly the same
period England has had the same mis-
sion to perform in South Africa. Now
Russia is at the same game in China.
and England and the United States are
protesting. If it is right for this gov
eminent to carry on war of conquest
in the Orient and for England to crush
out the life of two republics in South
Africa, it cannot be wrong for Russia
to appropriate Manchuria to herself.
England and the United States are in
no shape to protest against Russia S
actions with any degree of consistency.

In IL letter. from VIM. Il. Rafter, an
American soldier in Panay, to his
friend, Il. o. Hartman, Of Lebanon,
Pa, appears the following in reference
to the maligned friars of the Philip
pines: "AIuch has been said against
the friars out here, but 1 tell you,
Hartman, if you could see the lowell
ness of their surroundings and the
fidelity with which they preach the
word of God to these people in these
PARKWAY islands, as see it every
day, you would indeed think they
must be self-sacriicing indeed to do
it,"

against the Spaniards. In letter to
Secretary Day from Hong Kong, dated
May 10, 1898, Consul Wildman said
that a large supply of rifles should
he taken for insurgent allies" They
were taken and placed in the hands of
the Spanish insurgents and some
$4,000 Filipinos hemmed in the Span
iards in Manila and prevented them
frolh escaping into the interior while
the Americans We're attacking them in
front.
In manifesto from Hong Kong
from the rebel leaders to the insur-
gents in Manila we find the following:
1--WE, your brothers, are very much
afraid that you may be induced to fire
on the Americans. No, brothers, never
make this mistake. Rather blow your
own brains out than fire shot or
treat as enemies those who are your
liberators.''
1'oor, betrayed Filipinos! Little they
imagined what a tricky, unprincipled
lot Of Americans they had to deal with
under the imperial administration at
Washington. 1t matters little what
! started the fight between the Filipinos
and Americans on the morning of Feb.
4, 1899, or who fired the first shot.
The Americans were there to subdue
the Filipinos, peaceably if they could,
but forcibly if necessary.
Aguinaldo is prisoner, but if he is
a real patriot he will not acknowledge
American supremacy obtained by
fraud and force. Every effort will be
made to have him act the coward and
help the invaders in their dastardly
work of subjugation and benevolent
assimilation"
The subsidized press of the plutoc-
racy i'll this country think the war in
the Philippines is at an end since the
capture of Aguinaldo. 1t is no more
at! an end than was the war in South
Africa after the capture of Cronje. \
people thirsting for freedom do not
submit so easily. Mckinley may leave
the war as a legacy to his successor.
