Careless About Their Hair.
Peasant women in Siberia wear
shawls or kerchlefs on their heads,
while the rich women wear no head
covering whatever. A traveller recent
ly returned from that part Of the world
says that a Russian woman who is
otherwise trim and modern in dress
will go about with her hair dsheyeled
to the point Of the ludicrous.
Clean as n whistle.
The origin Of the saying "as clean
as a whistle" Is ascribed to the "whis-
tie tankard" Of olden times, in which
the whistle came into play when the
tankard was emptled or cleared out"
to announce to the waiter that more
liquor was required.

of an unseen hand" \ third is said

The Irish Standard, of Minneapolis,
is indignant that anybody should try
ito boom the Gaelic League in this
Anglo-Saxon country" There's an
Irisll-Amcrican paper for you! The
Irish Standard is likewise sore-and
who can blame it?-San Francisco
Leader. Our censorious contemporary
is mistaken. The Irish Standard. of
Minneapolis. is not opposed to the
Gaelic movement, but it is unalterably
opposed to the carping criticism Of
lay editors by the Leader. The Irish
Standard. of Minneapolis can proudly
boast of being the first paper west of
New York to start class in Gaelic
and give the free use of its rooms to
students in that language. Therefore
it cannot be Indignant" or sore at
it's contemporary for booming the
grand old mother tongue. But il our
contemporary is in earnest. why
doesn't it start some Gaelic lessons in
its columns? \ nice organ of Gaelic.

editors simply wants to have a per-
sonal organ of vituperation instead of

THE BONE OF CONTENTION.

The great question Of to-day upon
which the two American parties are ut
loggerheads is the government of the
Philippine Islands. All other ques-
lions sink into insignificance beside it.
The question of Negro Slavery was an
grily discussed for years on the floor
of Congress before it was finally adj
justed after fratricidal. war during
which fully one million men were kill
ed and disabled on both sides.
In the war of 1SG1-G5 the Republican
party emancpated THE negro of the
South and for !, generation afterwarl
it paraded itself as the advocate of
freedom for all men. 1t styled itself
the party of patriotism and liberty,
and by false pretensions kept itself in
control Of national affairs by hood
winlling the working classes of the
country.
When the battleship Maine was de.
stroyed in Havana harbor the cry of
war against Spain arose in all sections
of the land. The Republican party
hesitated and its boss. Mark Hanna
said there would he no war. But popu
lar feeling in favor of Cuban indepen'
dence ran high. and war was declared
for 'liberty and humanity" Thou
sands upon thousands of young mel
sprang to arms and volunteered to free
Cuba from the Spanish yoke. In Il
short time Spain was PROSTATE at the
feet of this mighty nation. Had mat
ters rested there we would have ,lnan
unity of sentiment in all parts of this
country to-day on the outcome Of the
! Spanish-Amcrican war. and the r."
publican party would have earned the
title of being the friend Of liberty
though the war for the independence
of Cuba was not party war in any
sense.
\ war fer freedom from Spanish
sway was being waged in the Philip
pines mt the same time the Cubans
were fighting for their freedom. The
Filipinos had been fighting for years
against Spanish domination and were
holding more than their own. whcl

Says Marquise De Fontenoy in the
Chicago Tribune: "IIing Edward has
given much satisfaction to his Roman
Catholic subjects by asking DR.. Brin-
die. the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Nottingham. to consecrate the colors
which he. the king, is going to present
to the newly-formed regiment Of Irish
guards on May 30. The majority of
THE men of the regiment are Roman
Catholics. But until now it has al
ways been divines of the established
Church of England who have been
asked to consecrate the col9rs of Brit
ish regiments, and King Edwards ac-
ton in asking a Roman Catholic bish-
cp to perform such ceremony is an

BIRTH OF A REPUBLIC.

The little island of Cuba is. and of
right ought to he, free and indepen-
dent. 1t is ut last a self-governing ma
ton. Last Tuesday the United States
authorities relinquishcd the manage
ment of Cuban affairs to the Cubans
themselves The American flag was
hauled down all over the island and
the Cuban flag went up in its place.
Cuba is now a sister republic. and the
pledge made by the Congress- of the
United States is fulfilled. All hail to
Cuba Libre!
AS the advocate OF liberty for all
men. irrespective of race or creed, the
Irish Standard is delighted ut the
birth Of a new republic near the
shores of the United States, and the
pleasure is greater from the fact that
1t has come into existence through the
fundamentally of the great republic
which threw off THE shackles Of mon
archy and achieved it's own indepen-
dence by the sword. The little re-
public of Cuba is under deep obliga-
ton to the United States for it's deliv-
GRANGE from Spain, and we believe
that it will never forget the sacrifices
made so unselfishly by this generous
nation.
The American people have kept faith
with Cuba in spite of every OPPOSE
ton from the plutocratic element of
our population, and it is to he hoped
that the Cubnns will appreciate what
has been done for them. Now that
they are in possession of liberty, let
them prize it as precious gift. 1t
will never be taken away from them
by any power on earth while they re-
tain the good will and friendship of
the United States. Cuba has taken its
place among the nations of the earth
while other nations as worthy o. free,
dom remain in bondage. 1t is more
fitted for freedom under three years
tutelage of the United States than If
it had not been taught sclf-govern.
ment by its emancipation.
Some European powers imagined
that the temporary occupation of Cuba
by the United States would become Il
permanent occupation. They could
not imagine that country could b.
so magnanimous as to engage in Il
costly war for the liberation Of an
other. as did the United States fol
Cuba. They believed that the pledge
made by Congress would be broker
and that Cuba would he forcihly an
nexeh to the United States. They I've
lieve differently now.

Says the Duluth Herald: The cost
of the Boer war to England, supposing
it to end with the current British fis-
cal year, will be about $3.50. 10000,
some two-thirds of which is in the form
of a funded charge upon the public
revenue of Great Britain to remain for
decades to come. This is equal to
about one4llalf the total interest-bear-
ing borrowings of the United States
government to carry it through the
great Civil war. President Kruger
