1--WE have swung further away
from Democratic traditions, from Re-
publican ideas and from Republican
principles in the last five years than
III the previous hundred years. Things
are now accepted as n matter of
course that would have shocked the
intelligence of our fore fathers beyond
endurance, all growing out of this
striving to lock arms with the great
European powers and become world
power, to foster this new idea of diplo-
macy, sitting quietly by and allowing
representative of one great power to
assemble in his residence in the capitol
of the republic, the representatives of
every other great nation, and make
the cold blooded and deliberate de-
mand or request that they join with
him in determination arbitrarily and
with force to prevent the American
people from accomplishing what they
had determined to accomplish. 1t
may be we'll enough to treat the repre-
sentatives Of foreign powers with
courtesy and consideration. do de-
clare that if the publication in the
press is true, this man Pauncefote
ought to be ordered to take the first
ship to cross the waters. We want no
such man in the republic. If he
comes here to represent his govern
ment, we'll and good; but if he comes
here to hatch conspiracies, to attempt
to force his wishes and his ideas upon
the American people, the sooner we
are rid of him the better it will be-"
The foregoing words of Congress
man Wheeler do credit to him, and his
constituents in the Blue Grass region
will show their appreciation by re-
turning him to Congress ut the ex-
piration of his term. The censure and
ridicule of party organs will not
change the truth of what he said re-
garding the flunkyism of Hay and the
truculency Of Pauncefote. 1t is well
that Congress has one man who is
fearless and patriotic enough to de-
nounce the toadyism of the admins
tration to English royalty. Mr..
Wheeler can we'll afford to stand the
sneers of Whitelaw Reid and his illl.

A brawling contemporary on the
Pacific coast objects to our phrase,
Moulding Public Opinion" and ex-
claims: "Just imagine an Irish or
a Catholic editor in the act of mould
ing public opinion!' The fault-fnd.
ing Californian sheet thinks that an
Irish or Catholic editor is better
qualified to mould brick than public
opinion. 1t says that the most poorly
paid reporter on daily paper can do
better literary work. 1t frankly ad-
mits that itself is not Catholic pa
per. We never said it was.

Judge Cough, of Chippewa Falls,
Wis, is writing for his paper, the
Catholic Sentinel, a thrilling tale of
landlord tyranny in Galway entitled
'The Rose of Oranmore." AS he is
thoroughly acquainted with the GUS
toms and habits of the peasantry of
Connaught and speaks the Irish Ian
guage tiuently, he does them full
justice in the story and uses the
brogue to perfection. He depicts Lord
Walbrook with the skill of a Garlic
ton and shows him as another Lord
Leitrim. We expect the lordly liber-
tine will meet the same fate as that
Infamous scoundrel from 'sthe young
man in = students habit who rescued
Miss O'NIalley from his clutches and
received from that beautiful girl her
heartfelt thanks in the words, ooh,
John, heaven bless you," before she
tainted.

That there is a strong national Irish
sentiment in Chicago is evidenced by
the fact that the board Of education
has adopted two books of Irish history
for supplementary reading in the pub
lie schools. The "Short Story of Ire
land" revised by Rev. DR.. Dillon, is
also used in the parish schools of the
city. This little book is for sale in
the Irish Standard book store, but
thus far there has been no demand for
it. Who is the first Irish Catholic
priest in the Northwest who will use
it in the parochial schools?

A little San Francisco weekly
wastes several inches of space in re-
plying to the structures of the Irish

conceited contemporary squalled: eff
you take the so-called Catholic and
Irish papers published throughout the
United States you will find no work
that could not be done by the young
est and most poorly paid reporter on
a daily paper" We resented that
ridiculous statement, and hence it's
TRADE against lis. We shall admins
ter no more castigation to the puny
bantling.

of the London Times, has the follow
ing to say on the subject:
Beyond doubt Lord Pauncefote
believed that the Spanish note of April
10 contained concessions Of such a ma
ture that the United States might re-
consider it's resolve for war. Beyond
a doubt he thought that President
Mckinley was wrong in believing that
he had the support and approval of
the civilized world. Beyond doubt
he desired peace as Mr.. Mckinley did,
and felt himself justified in doing
what he could in concert with his col
leagues to preserve the peace. All
this he admits and affirms.''
1t has developed during the contro-
versy over Pauncefote's note that
Spain had practically conceded all the
demands made by the United States,
and that the Spanish submission was
never reported by the late President
Mckinley, who kept back the COM
munication from the Spanish govern
ment, virtually conceding the Amer
lean demands OH the eve of the war.
The London Saturday Review says Of
it: 1--WE never thought the Americans
went into that war with clean hands,
but we had not conceived that they
were soiled as the Times correspond
ent suggests or rather affirms."
The Times correspondent is an
American by birth but an Englishman
in feeling. He evidently got his in
formation from Pauncefote. That
statesman has been discovered to be
an enemy of this country, and his
friends are trying to shield him from
the odium he has earned. 1t is said
he was not unfriendly at all, and that
he merely acted to please the Austrian
minister after overtures for peace had
been rejected by President Mckinley.
The British government was certainly
behind Pauncefote, but now it throws
the whole blame upon him, though he
acted according to instructions from
London.
When the matter came up before
the British parliament, John E. Red
mond said: ''The feeling which eX-
listed in America that England did so
much for the United States at the
time of the war is all humbug. To
my personal knowledge the majority
of the members of the House of Com
mons were strongly anti-American in
those days. 1 have no doubt Germany
has evidence to prove her assertions"
Since then Germany has produced the
evidence and Viscount Cranborne has
kept as mute as an oyster.
Secretary Hay has been terribly en-
barrassed by the exposure of Paunce-
Totes part in the proceedings. He
has always been the bosom friend of
the British ambassador. and must
have known that the old diplomat did
his utmost to form a European coali-
ton against the United States Hay
is traitor to his own government,
and ought to be ousted from the cab
met. Pauncefote should be told to go
home and keep company With Sack
vile West.

A writer in the London Times rakes
Mrs. Gallup over the Goals for saying
that Lord Bacon was the offspring of
the illicit intercourse between Leices-
ter and Queen Elizabeth. Good
Queen Bess" was never married, and
that is why the British historians call
her the virgin Queen" But accord
ing to impartial historians the Jezebel
of England did not preserve her vir-
ginity. The British parliament, to it's
eternal shame, passed an act to legit-
imatize any bastard child that Eliza
beth may give birth to. And vet she
was the head of the church by law
established! Mrs. Gallup is an Amer
lean lady who has read English his
tory intelligently.

What Is Royalty to Us?

IL is all right Tor congress to vote
the money necessary to entertain
Prince Henry in the manner to which
he is accustomed when he visits a
foreign country as the representative
of his imperial brother. He will be
the nations guest, and under existing
conditions we could not omit any of
the regulation marks of distinction
without being discourteous to him and
giving otfense to the German people.
But it is not all right for congress
to vote the money of American tax
payers to defray the expenses of spe-
cial embassy to participate in the coro-
nation ceremonies of King Edward of
England, says the Chicago American.
There is no need for that outlay, be-
cause there is no requirement in Gus
tom for the embassy. The English
people and the English monarch would
have no cause to feel offended should
we decline the invitation to rally round
the British throne on coronation day.
This republic has no business to be
represented there except by it's regu-
lar ambassador, doing his routine duty
When we inaugurate president no
special British embassy follows in his
train.
The kings of Europe and the ruling
classes who thrive by monarchy have
no liking for democratic America.
They know that the success Of our sys-
tenn is constant Indictment to the
common people, to ask why they
should be taxed to keep up the state
of royalty and to support in luxury
hordes of loafing mobiles.
This republic in it's essence is a
challenge to the right of monarchs and
'aristocracies to exist, and we are false
to the duty we owe the world when
we so far forget republican consist
ency as to dispatch an embassy to
London to take part in show that,
if it means anything, is an assertion
Of the divine right of kings to rule.
Real friendship for the caste-c urseE
English people would justify congress
in refusing to vote a cent to aid In
making Edwards anachronistic medic
val circus parade a success.
The Chicago American hopes to see
senator's and representatives who are
imbued with the right American feel
ing rising to protest against an ap-
preparation for the coronation en-
bassy.
Are the American people in love
with monarchy? Is not disbelief in it,
reputation of it, the very corner
stone Of our political edifice?
Why then, should one penny be
taken from any American pocket to
pay for an expedition whose mission
will be to bow the American knee be-
fore monarch's throne?
Congress ought to put it's foot down
on this whole lackey scheme, and put
it down so hard that the noise of the
democratic stamp will be heard around
the world.

A BR1rIsHER FROM BELFAST.

| Some months ago we took occasion
| to correct the Measurements of Brit
ish agent from Belfast who was inter-
] viewed by II local paper on the condi-
| ton of affairs in Ireland. We adduced
facts and figures to dsprove his utter
anccs and showed that he wilfully and
maliciously misrepresented such lead
ers Of the. Irish people as Davitt, Dill
lon, Redmond and O'Brien who have
unseltishly devoted their talents to the
cause of Erin, and whose patriotism
is acknowledged to be pure and dis
Interested by even the English them
selves.
Another Belfast man was in this
city last week and was interviewed as
usual. He told the same story as the
other, and declared that Ireland had
no grievances worth considering. The
name of this veracious agent of
Belfast linen factory is William Haz-
ley, and his ideas of Irish matters in
general appear to be hazy in the eX-
IRENE, Notwithstanding the fact that
he is 'fresh from the old sod and re-
Gently set foot on American soil for
the first time" Perhaps, he is not to
be blamed for his ignorance. He lives
in Belfast, the stronghold of Orange
ism, and gets all his information from
the Orange press, which is ultra
British and anti-Irish.
This rambler from the black North
says that conditions in Ireland have
improved, though 1T has been dull
year in the British isles since the
Queens DEATH" Emigration to the
United States goes steadily on, though
'evictions of poor tenants are thing
Of the past, and landlords no longer
abuse their privileges
When Mr.. Haley says that ''evic-
tons are a thing of the past he is
simply talking through his hat Ac-
cording to the official report of evic
tons in Ireland the total number in
1901 was 175. During the last quarter
of 1901 there were evictions in us
ter, (where Haley comes FROM s in
Leinster, II in Connaught and IA in
Munster. During the year 2,4S2 ten
ants who had been evicted were con-
verified into caretakers OF their farms,
and the old plan OF determination is
being carried OH vigorously by the
landlords, with the aid OF Dublin
Castle.
THE landlords no longer abuse their
privileges" quoth Haley. Of COURSE
they do, and that is why the United
Irish League has been organized
throughout the country. Is it pos
sible that this Britisher from Belfast
has not heard of the crusade against
landlordism in the North by L. w.
Russell, Nj. P? In the February num-
Der Of the New Liberal Review"
under the title of Disturbed Ireland"
Mr.. Russell says many things about
landlordism which Haley ought to
read. We give one paragraph for his
benefit:
1.-THE Protestant farmers Of the
North have made up their minds that
the present land system must end
The landlords are face to face with
great national demand for the eXpro-
priation of the whole class must
say to the class so dominant in the
country that their day Of domination
is over; that they are citizens, not
rulers; and that they must take their
chance and fight their way in a COM
mon country. And it must be said
firmly, on the other hand, that Us two
great leaders in the past century failed
to win an Irish Parliament for the
