it is unusual, to say the least, for an
individual to plead either innocent or
guilty or to offer a defense when no
charge has been preferred"
The Republican organs have accused
Miss Taylor of discourtesy and disre-
spect to her superior and uphold Root
in peremptorily discharging her from
the department There is nothing dis
respectful in what she said. When
the order for her removal was received
she answered with letter, saying:
Il have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication Of
June Z, 1902, purporting to be an order
of discharge from the classified service
of the war department. 1 have not
yet received the reasons given in writ
ing explaining the just cause for the
alleged removal. 10 this 1 am enti-
tied. And l therefore protest against
said alleged order as illegal and again
respectfully request that the said real
sons in writing be forwarded to me-"
From what we know Of Root we
are not at all surprised at his summary
discharge of Miss Taylor. She has the
same right to her opinions that he has
to his. She has the same right to ex-
press them as President Roosevelt has.
She has two influential friends in Con-
gresham AcCleary and Senator Mel
son, and they may be able to retain
her in the position she obtained under
civil service rules. What Roosevelt
will do in the matter will be known
later. He should not get angry at Il
woman for criticising his political ut
terances.

these commodities would be cOnspicu-
GUS and would be pursued by the reve-
nue. officers. 1t was sold in exchange
for commodities usually exported and
easily disposed of. foreign wines. which
We're quickly consumed, and the result
was the enormous consumption Of
wines throughout Ireland. The poor
initiated the example of their richer
neighbors and developed correspond
ing thirst for strong liquors, and to
meet that demand a contraband article
was manufactured in Ireland itself,
cheaper, coarser, and more intoxicat-
ing; every hillside developed still, and
hence the curse of intemperance from
which the Irish people have ever since
suffered, owing to the depravity aud
the infamy of English laws. The suffer-
ing, the injury, the curse of intoxica-
ton is Ireland's. The origin and the
shame of it is Englanl's.'
AT the present day large number Of
the Irish at home abstain from intoxi-
eating beverages. Too much liquor
however, is consumed by the Irish as Il
whole i'll proportion to their means
They do not drink as much per capita
as the English or Scotch, but that is
not saying much for them. The Irish
hierarchy recently issued a manifesto
on the liquor question and showed that
the Irish people would be model peo-
pie had it not been for their drinking
habits. Men engaged in fighting for
their national rights have no excuse
for drinking when they appeal for
financial aid to their kindred in other
lands. The more the Irish drink the
better the English government likes it.
AS it is, Ireland is the most crimeless
country in Europe. Were there II,
drunkards there would be no criminals
of any kind in the island, and Ireland
sober would soon be Ireland free.

A MOST SATISFACTORY VERDICT.

n young man named Irwin \. Gard
ner, the prOtege Of Mayor AmcS, was
convicted the other day by a Hennepin
county jury of the crime of accepting
brides from notorious crooks and
gamblers to permit them to prey un-
molested on the public. The case of
Gardner has attracted widespread at
tention throughout the state and every
one who read the testimony given on
his trial was convinced of his guilt
He was defended by w. w. Erwin,
the ablest criminal lawyer in the
Northwest, but despite the forensic
eloquence of his advocate the young
man was pronounced guilty by an i'm
partial jury of his peers. The verdict
is the most popular one rendered III
the district court for many day, and
the friends of good government are
elated.
The defendant was a medical stu.
dent in the office of the Republican
mayor and acted as special police
man, though having no duties to per-
form, according to his own evidence.
He was paid 6y his friend, the mayor,
for performing the duty of receiving
brides from sharpers. and his intimate
and confidential relations with the
mayor point to the strong suspicion
that the head of the administration
knew that The was engaged in the
''grafting' business.
The disclosures made during the trial
of Gardner show beyond a reasonable
doubt that others are implicated be-
sides this young man. For some time
rumors were in circulation to the effect
That secret partnership. existed be-
tween detectives and criminals and
that the responsible officials were cog
infant of the fact The testimony in
the Gardner case came as shock to
law-abiding citizens. and the verdict
has given eminent satisfaction. Some
sympathy is expressed fer young Gard
ner who is merely a boy, though a
married man, and many believe that
he is less guilty than those in higher
places. He professed great loyalty to
Mayor Ahles and said nothing on the
stand THAT would reflect on that Off
cial's integrity. He said that Mayor
Ames was his best friend, but admitted
that he was on friendly terms with
Edwards though he knew he was a
big mitt" operator and had been ar
rested rs such.
The assistant county attorney, Mr.
Smith, is entitled to praise for the
manner in which he conducted the case
from beginning to end. Though op-
posed by Mr.. Erwin. an old practition-
err, he held UP his side of the case with
wonderful adroitness and ability and
added to his reputation as lawyer.
Other prosecutions will follow that of
Gardner and other convictions are like
ly to be obtained.

Our Anglo-Saxon contemporary Of
the Zenith City says that the fuss
about the British mule camps on
American soil was clicked up by cheap
partisans, who hope to get a few
votes for the Democratic party" OF
course. Any American who differs
from Roosevelt and Root must be a
Cheap partisan" That is the usual
style of argument used by the News
Tribune and the organs of rampant
imperialism. Did Senator Hoar hope
to get "a few votes for the Democratic
party when he made his great speech
on the Philippine bill and said: 1--WE
have sold out the right, the old Amer
lean right, to speak out the sympathy
which is in our hearts for people who
are desolate and oppressed everywhere
on the face of the earth"

In Il speech at Belfast some weeks
ago Right Rev. DR.. O'Hara, Protestant
bishop Of Cashel, congratulated his
Orange hearers on the happy immunity
from religious persecution which they
enjoyed, and said their co-religionists
in the South We're subjected to every
kind of mischief and annoyance by
their Catholic neighbors. The Protest
ants of the South have vehemently de-
MED the charge of the bishop and
called upon him to give one ms .ance of
hostility on the part of Roman Catho-
lies. He has kept silent and is now
regarded as slanderer by his country
men. DR.. O'Hara is evidently the off
spring of Catholic forefathers who
abandoned their faith for the loaves
and fishes of Professionalism, as by law
established.

CURSE OF IRISH 1Nrox1cAr1oN.

Any careful reader OF the Irish re-
lellion of 119S is aware of the fact
that the insurgents after gaining the
battle of New Ross and driving the
British across the bridge into Kilkenny
celebrated the victory by getting glori-
ously drunk. After being stupefied
with whisky the brave fellows were
pounced upon by the returned British,
who retooll the town, and hundreds of
them were slain. Had they resisted
the temptation of drinking intoxicat-
ing liquor which deprived them of
caution, they would not have lost the
battle they had so nobly won. Why
was it that the Irish of that period
were addicted to drunkenness?
Perhaps it may sound strange to say
that the English laws We're responsible
for it, but they were. During the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries hos
tile English legislation had reduced the
Irish people to the lowest poverty. The
laws prohibiting the manufacture of
woolens in Ireland and it's expectation
to any country but England is princi-
pally responsible for Irish int xication.
So said Bourke Cochran in his great
Chicago speech of last week, and any
one who has read 1.-THE Two Chiefs Of
Dunboy" by the late James Anthony
Froude, the English historian, will see
that the celebrated Irish orator did not
draw Oh his Imagination when he said:
You have all doubtless heard of the
Irish smuggling under the nose Of
lInglishmen to France and other coun-
tries. The whole of the Irish coast
was infested by bold bands Of adven-
turers who brought back from France
supplies Of wines and other liquors,
and the idea was encouraged that the
| whole object and aim of that snug
CLING was to crafty the thirst Of the
Irish smuggler. Irish smuggling had
it's origin in the anxiety of the people
to dispose Of their wool. A law was
passed which prohibited grower Of
wool to export his wool to any country
except England. With the short-sight-
edness of vice it was supposed that the
entire people would then send their
wool to England, where it would be
purchased by English manufacturers
at their own price, thus getting their
wool practically free, and being en-
abled to outstrip any other competition
from any other part of the world. But
the demand for Irish wool continued
from other countries, and the only way
the wool could be gotten out in the
face Of the legal prohibition was by
smuggling it, and struggled it was in
huge quantities.
THE injustice of prohibiting men
selling their product where it would
bring the hest price was so clear and
prepOsterous it was impossible to en-.
force the law against it. and so snug
Cling grew. But it was impossible to
pay for smuggled goods in the ordinary
course of trade. Bills of exchange
were not available for contraband
wares. The only way Struggled goods
could be sold was by barter, exchang-
ing them for some other commodities

ment about Ireland. In every way
she has been dashed and oppressed, yet
in spite of all she has stood faithful

spread to the four corners of the
earth, and wherever there's an Irish
man, there's Roman Catholic church.
