der the influence of party name

manifested by the disgraceful attempts
which are made to defend their party

misconduct.
The administration organs and apollo
gists resort to defense us disgraceful,
it possible, as is the olfense they seek
to mitigate. These men dishonor Abra-
ham Lincoln by calling themselves Re-
publicans, and they seek to hide be-
hind the shroud of Abraham Lincoln,
by citing in justification Order No. 100,
which he approved in April 1868. The
shamefulness of this attempt is ex-
posed by quoting certain paragraphs of
that order which they are careful not
to reproduce. Compare these para
graphs with the acts sought to be JUS
titled by Lincoln's order.

Why not give the Filipinos what they
fought against Spain for hundreds OF
years for, and what they are now
fighting for, instead of Offering them
something they never asked for and
which they do not want? With all due
respect to the English language and it's
literature, we believe that the Spanish
language is sufficient in itself as u
means of communication fer the people
of the Philippines. With all deserving
pity for the bigots who wish to save
the Philippines from its religion, we
believe that that Church which is the
Church of the majority of Christians
and which has a history and a litera-
ture before which all others pale into
insignifcance, is good enough. Why
not give the Filipinos what they want,
and not try to force things upon them
which they do not need and which
they certainly do not want?

LANGUAGE AND RELIGION.

Next to their fatherland and their
liberty men value most highly their
native language and their religion.
One of the terms of peace agreed upon
in the settlement of the Boer war is
that the people of South Africa are
to retain their language and it is to be
taught in their schools.
Even Englishmen of the type Of
Chamberlain can learn from stern nee
essity. Instead of unconditional sur
render. which Chamberlain insisted
upon year and half ago, we find the
English suing for peace with these peo-
pie upon the bare promise of the recog-
milton of British sovereignty. England
did not dare to interfere with the Ian
guage and schools of this people, whom
she has characterized as ignorant and
intolerant. Mr.. Chamberlain learned
some time ago what freedom of speech
meant. He tried to eliminate the ma
tive tongue from the schools and courts
in Malta. but orders to that effect had
to be withdrawn and the native Ian
Suage reinstated.
In Ireland. England has been trying
for 200 years to stamp out the Gaelic
language but has not succeeded. Re-
ports based upon recent examinations
in the schools of Ireland show that there
is more proficiency in the Irish Ian
guaee Mt this time than for long time
past. England has for hundreds Of
years tried to destroy the religion of the
Irish people. she has succeeded only in
rendering the Irish the world over i'm
placable enemies of anything which
savors of England.
Among the many blunders Of our
adminis II alton in the Philippines is the
attempt to substitute our own language
for that Of the Spanish. The educated
people of the Philippines use the Span
ish. Certainly the Spanish language is
worthy of respect. 1t is descended
from the +: attn language and has a his
tory AMI literature .:'del than our
own. Why institute schools in the Phil
il.,,iucs which are distasteful to the
people? We will never gain the good
will of those people by trying to de-
stroy their language or their religion.
The people Of the Philippines did not
rebel against Spain because they dis
liked their language or their religion,
but because the government Of Spain
was distasteful. The people of the
Philippines were fighting against the
sovereignty of Spain, not against its
religion or language. They wished to
institute a government of their own,

Such are the confessedly necessary

Philippines: admits that it has done
its whole duty, and deeply regrets
that torture and devastation reign in

has often received words of censure in

future of these people. the shameful

In a communication to The Irish
Standard upon this important subject,
Mr.. A. Il. Choate. the well known at

valuable information. He says:
How grievously the Republican par

jaunty characterization of the Catho-
lie doctrine and practice of Confess

fees paid to n public officer who re-

go into the public treasury and not into
the pocket of the officer. This conclu-

when the fact is added that such fees
were paid for work performed by clerks
paid by the county for doing such
work. Judge Elliott, however, had no

is reckoning without his host if he ex-
poets to be nominated.
The bound volumes of executive
documents for the years 1899 and 1900
do not contain the inaugural address
or biennial message Of the legislature
delivered by John Lind, who was gov
ernor at that time. This was recently
brought to the attention of Mr.. Rosing,
who was Governor Lind's private
secretary during those years and that
gentleman at once sought State Print
er Whitney for an explanation, who
assigned as a reason that I'VE didn't
have money enough to include every
thing" The chairman of the Demo
cratic state committee naturally feels
keenly this seeming insult to eX-Gov
ernor Lind, who made one of the best
chief executives the state of Mime
sofa has ever had. The act should
not, and from all appearances will not,
pass without thorough investigation.
