WHAT is THE pIoUs FUND !?

On the 18th Of October the interna-
tional court Of arbitration ut The
Hague brought to an end it's consid-
Grafton of the Pious Fund case be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
giving unanimous verdict in favor
of this country. According to the tel
eSram sent from William Il. Penfield,
one of the United States counsel. to
the state department. at Washington,
''all our contentious involved in re judi
cata are sustained by the tribunal and
the full amount of the claim is award

pay $l,420,6S2, Mexican currency, and
an annual sum forever of S43,O51. DIR.

A Catholic for President,

The following question and answer
appear in the Inter Mountain Catholic,
of st. Lake City:
@. Can a Roman Catholic be presi-
dent of the United States? And if not,
why not?
A. theoretically, a Roman Catholic
can be president of the United States;
practically, under present conditions,
he cannot. So far as the constitution
goes, a Catholic is as eligible as any
other citizen. But men are not chosen
to political Office simply because they
meet the requirement of the law.
Many other factors are to be consid-
cred. In the case of Catholics, the
matter of prejudice and powerful ig-
norance against them cannot be over
looked. The day will come when the
Catholics will be numerous and strong
enough to prevail over prejudice and
!! ignorance. The opposition to them was
great formerly in city and in state pol
itics. They have become mayors of
cities and governors of states. Still.
there are cities and states where
Catholic would not be considered for
high political preferment. Catholics
are found in congress, in the house and
the senate, and upoz the supreme
bench of the United States. Progress
requires time, and prejudices die slow.
ly. The people scattered over the vast
extent Of the United States are not
lacking in prejudices of race, color and
religion. You cannot reason away a
prejudice, but you can become strong
enough to control it.

A GRAND VICTORY FOR LIND.

Despite the great odds against him,
gress by more than 1000 votes over
Loren Fletcher-an unscrupulons oppo-
nent who resorted to all despicablc
methods to defeat him in the campaign
just closed. When the opposition he
has overcome is considered, 1t is no
eXaggeration to say that John Lind has
achieved glorious victory in this city
and county. Nothing like it has hap
pened in any part of the United States,
and John Lind has reason to he happy.
To what is his election due? The
manner in which lie conducted the
campaign won him the esteem Of Re
rublicnns as well as Democrats. Ha
stood on a lofty emnence and spoke
as statesman and not as a politician.
He addressed himself to the intell-
gence, conscience and patriotism of
the voters. He discussed the issues
honestly and fairly and every man who
heard him was cOnvinced-even
against his will. His arguments were
unanswerablc and no attempt was
made to refute them.
He worked indefntignbly from first
to last, and his party stood loyalty by
him. The Democracy loved HIM for
the cnmity he encountered from the
lying organs Of Loren Fletcher. He
was vilified, traduced and misrepre
scented by partisan press. The ma
tionality question was dragged into the
campaign to defeat him, and the hencll-
men of Fletcher tried to arouse reli-
gious prejudice against him. They
went among the Scandinavians and
told them that John Lind rs governor
Of Minnesota gave too many offices to
Catholics. They did everything low
and mean to defeat an honorable man,
and yet they failed!
The Times newspaper printed a bo-
gus address to Swedes and declared it
was issued with the sanction of John
Lind. 1t was clumsy fabrication
which deceived no one. John Lind i'm
mediately caused the arrest Of r. r.
tombstone. the editor, and of Charley
johnson, one of the managers Of
Fletcher's campaign, on the charge Of
criminal libel and the case is going on
in the municipal court rs we write
This outrageous attack on John Lind
won him the sympathy and support Of
hundreds of Republicans. and it caused
the Democrats to stick to him more
loyalty, if possible, than before.
The contemplate tactics of Fletcher
and his followers against John Lind
deserved n rebulle, and on Tuesday it
was properly administered by Amer
lean citizens, irrespective Of national
ity, in every ward of the city. Despite
this fact, the defeated candidate, in
a statement over his signature in the
Tribune, audaciously says:
"Other conditions familiar to all in
telligent voters, over which have had
no control and which should never
have entered into Republican politics,
and for which none of my friends are
responsible,-one Of these being the ma
tionality question, which has been used
in this district and state for three or
four campaigns,-havet tended materi-
ally to bring about this unfavorable re-
suit to myself and have worked to the
success. but not to the credit, Of the
beneficiary"

In his speech at Philadelphia, Mi
chael Davitt, in reply to the query,
"Why don't you fight?" spoke rs fol-
lows: st is hardly fair for you
healthy fellows. who left the old sod,
to tell us to fight, when you went
away to better your conditions, and
left us crpplcs and women and few
healthy fellows to face England, with
her 4O,0OO,OOO and her vast wealth.
We have made 1T more difficult for
England to rule us than ever before;
and even after TOO years of fighting,
you will find that TOO years more
will not make it any easier. But Of
this you may he sure. that any Irish
man worth his salt would fight, if
there We're a ghost of chance. But
why."-and here Mr.. Davitt grew re-
proachful in tone,-"do you taunt us
with not fighting, when you stood by
and didn't send man or gun to aid
the struggling republics Of South At
RIGA against our hereditary foe-Eng
land"

AN ENGLISH CARDINALS LETTER.

a letter from Cardinal Vaughan to
John II. Redmond in reference to the
Educational Bill before parliament
recently appeared in the Dublin Free
mans Journal. The English cardinal
strongly urges the leader of the Irish
Nationalists to support the bill on
Catholic grounds and shows the bene-
fits that would result to the Catholic
schools of England on it's passage by
the Tory party. But Mr.. Redmond
says that he never received such
letter from Cardinal Vaughan and is
surprised to find it in print. He has
made no reply to the letter, but Mich
ael Davitt has informed his Eminence
through the Freemans Journal that
the Irish party is not indebted to the
English Catholics for anything in
furtherance of the Irish cause. And
Michael Davitt is right.
Though the English Catholics owe a
great deal to their Irish co-religionists,
they have always been opposed to civil
liberty for Ireland. In the days Of the
repeal agitation they opposed O'Con-
nell who had been their emancipation,
and that great Irishman was indignant
ut their attitude of hostility. He en-
pressed regret that he had been the in
strument of removing the religious
disabilities from which they suffered
for three hundred years. He de-
rounced them for their opposition to
Irish rights and stigmatized them as
ingl:ltes lie even asked God to par
don him for giving them religious
| freedom i'm their own land
The aristocratic English Catholics
arc still opposed to self government
for Ireland. They cast their influence
against Gladstone for a Home Rule
bill, and the Catholic Tories of Ire
land did the same. The Non-C Conform
lists of England stood by Gladstone in
opposition to the Catholic aristocrats
of Great Britain and Ireland. The
Irish parliamentary leaders remember
this. and hence they have no reason to
be grateful to Cardinal Vaughan, the
Duke of Norfolk, or their set.
The Tory Catholics of England and
the Non-Conformists are opposed to
each other on the Educational Bill, and
it is futile for the former to expect the
aid of Irish Nationalists on the side Of
Balfour, Wyndham, Chamberlain &
Co. whose coercion policy is abominat-
ed by the Irish race ut home and
abroad. The Liberals and Radicals
have voted for Irish self-government.
They are opposed to the Educational
Bill. and If the Nationalists vote with
the Tories they need expect no further
aid from the adherents of Gladstone
1t was said by the Tories that Home
Rule was Rome rule. If the Irish
members vote for the Educational Bill
at time when the British constitu-
ton is practically suspended in Ire
land and the best men in the country
are in fails. then the Liberals and
Radicals may we'll believe that Home
Rule is Rome rule, and if they come
into power they may never grant 1t to
Ireland. In our opinion the Irish
members should vote with their
friends, defeat the bill and compel the
Tory government to resign.
