AN OPEN LETTER.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. l9.-Messrs.
w. N. and w. B. Haldeman--Dear Sirs;
On the afternoon of Saturday, February
s, 1902. appeared this editorial in the
Evening Times:
"The bones of two alleged Christian
martyrs of the year 30S, dressed in rich
red satin cloaks,' will be put on view for
the alteration of the faithful in a local
church tomorrow. What was it Philetus
Barnum said about the American public1"
We can not believe that you Endorsed
the sentiment expressed in that editorial,
but it has gone to the public with the
same weight and authority as II 1t had had
your sanction. We call your atten-
ton to the matter because this article is
regarded by many of your fellow-citizens
and patrons as a malicious insult to their
religion, and you know nothing wounds
the heart so much as a slur at ones re-
ligious faith. The writer of the foregoing
article has right to his religious opin-
ions or to his hatred of all religions, as
Czolgolsz had, but he has no more right
than Czolgolsz had to assault those who
differ from him in opinion. There was
no need or cause for such an insult. 1t
was gratuitous and unnecessary and evil
IDENTIFY sprung from the writer's hatred
of the Catholic church. and he evidently
abused the privileges you allow him for
the purpose Of insulting your neighbors
and friends.
1t is a just and generous thing when
one. under color of your authority. in
suits your friends and patrons needlessly,

PARENTS ANG CHILDREN.

The writer some years ago was a guest
for day or two in family in which
there were four boys from eight to twenty
years old. The charming thing about
the household was the Difference the
boys showed their mother. When she
entered room they stepped aside to let
her pass in first. In the table converse
ton she was never interrupted when she
was talking, and what she said was treated
with respect. The visitor could see that
she held unique place in the household.
She was mistress and her boys gave her
Difference that they would have conceded
to queen. There was no lack of genial
temper and bright sally and rejoinder. II
was evidently happy household, but
the note of affection and honor for the
mother was unmistakable. The explana-
ton was not difficult to discover, for it
needed only slight observation to detect
that the attitude of the sons toward their
mother was only the reflection of the
attitude of their father toward his wife,
Her personal authority and precedence
in the home were emphasized and en-
forced by her husbands unfailing court,
esy toward her. One could not but think
how much parents can do if they are
wise to prevent their children from fall
ing into habits of disregarding their
rightful claims to honor, that are such a
reproach to many American homes, if hus-
bands and wives honor each other with
considerate courtesy.

1t was not strange then, that Guglielmo
Marconi made such rapid progress in his
studies and became full grown man in
experience when he was still boy of
sixteen. Money was spent freely for
him and every encouragement was given
him in his work. He was allowed to
turn one of the rooms in the house into a
laboratory, and here he was monarch of
all he surveyed. Between the mother
and the son there is a strong bond of
sympathy and genuine love. Marconi
formerly accompanied his mother on her
travels; now he takes her with him when
ever he can.

Influence of Nationalist COurte-
sizes to Prince Henry Causes
Misgivings.
MORE TROUBLESOME THAN BOER WAR

The home rule question is coming rap
idly to the front again. says Tribune
dispatch from London. The Irish
Nationalist regard the situation as much
more promising than at any time since
the retirement of Gladstone. They feel
firmly convinced that couple of years
of genuine nconstitutionalism in ireland
will land Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man and fighting Liberal party back in
power, as home rule as the first plank in
the platform. So far as the Irish ques-
ton is concerned at present, however,
Lord Rosebery undoubtedly has the
country behind him. Campbell Banner
man home rule policy is only supported
by two or three really influential English
mems, such as John Morley, Sir William
Harcourt and Earl Spencer. Meanwhile
recent events have tended to restore the
old friendly relations between the Irish
Nationalist and the English Radicals.
But there will be no formal alliance, as
there was in Parnell's time. The policy
of the Irishmen is to keep aloof from
both English parties aud accept whatever
benefits for Ireland either may propose.
The Journals correspondent cables that
the growing menace of Ireland and OF
Irish sympathy and influence throughout
the world is now causing greater disquiet
at headquarters of the British govern
ment than any other aspect of the South
African war situation. At the Home and
Foreign Offices every movement OF the
leaders of the Irish Nationalist party is
watched with eagle eye; the army trans
port scandals and the walls of taxpayers
even Kitcheners reports-take second
place In Downing street.
Agents of the government are thickly
scattered throughout Ireland taking note
of every symptom of more radical action
than the apostles of "force" are now pur-
suing. From America reports are received
constantly emphasizing the success OF
the missionary work there by Redmond
and his companions. With especial mis-
givings members of the Cabinet have
learned of the cordial exchange of
courtesies between the Irish Nationalist
leaders in the United States and Prince
Henry. The influence of such a spectacle
when the Kaiserls personal representative
has become so popular is dreaded.
Anticipation of trouble on account Of
Ireland and Ireland IS friends have become
the chief inspiration of new plans whereby
the Boer war may be brought to speedy
conclusion. Whether or not these plans,
which seem as yet extremely vague, will
amount to anything, the government
realizes the necessity of bestiring itself.
Prominent Boer emissaries across the
channel are shrewd enough to make the
most of the Irish menace. In every way
possible they are giving encouragement
to and obtaining outside influence for
the Irish Nationalist movement. 1t
would not surprise English politicians
If the Irish should bring pressure to bear
that will end the war through British con-
cessions before Kitchner succeeds in
catching another sight of De Wet.

COLORED FACTIONS FUSS.
Fifth Ward Divides on Councilman
Contest.

Down in the third precinct of the
Fifth ward there was a red hot political
meeting held Thursday night at Child S

booming Troutman for governor and
Howe for the city council, and those
who attended We're colored voters. The
fractional feeling become so high that
the meeting almost broke up in a free
fight.
There are two factions among the col
ored voters in the Fifth ward. One
fractional feeling became so high that

failed, it fighting hard against A. p.
Roundtree, the colored man who wants
to get into the council this year. The
same faction is booming Howe and
Troutman. They are said to have or
gained a club known as the Curtis
Republican club.
The opposing faction, which favors
Roundtree and incidentally gives it's
support to r. 3. WEIGH, claims to be a
continuation of the Roosevelt Fifth
Ward Colored Republican club, orga-
nized last year.
Charles Smith, the ex-policennan and a
leader in the Ridley faction, proposed
a long list of names, headed by Trout
man and Howe, to be Endorsed by the
meeting. The meeting refused to in
dorse the list, and then the trouble
commenced. Aside from vigorous talk,

oppose A. p. Roundtree. 1t has been
the custom of that faction to run the
Fifth ward third precinct. Last year
A. p. Roundtree and others raised OPP
position to the clique rule, and Ridley
was defeated for councilman. Ridley
says that he has a knife up his sleeve
for his opposers for taking the power
of dictation out of his hands and
placing it elsewhere.
If they defeat Roundtree, their power
and influence is restored. They will
give time and power to reach this end,
even resorting to brutal attacks Mr..
Roundtree'S character to further their
aims. Policeman Smith even assaulted
A. P. Roundtree at his doorstep to in
tinidate him and by dirty tactics de-
prive him of the nomination.

The alleged assault on Mr.. Roundtree
by ex-Policeman Smith occurred sew

say that the plan of Smith was to get
Roundtree into a fight, and thus hold
him up to public ridicule, and hurt his
chances for the council. Roundtree re-
fused to fight.
