Delaware and Mississippi.

The Republican administration re-
moved Miss Todd, postmistress at
Greenwood, Del, on the ground that
she was ''particularly and personally
obnoxious to Adddicks' man, Senator
Alice. The Atlanta Constitution scores
an interesting point when it reminds
its readers that the same republican
that removed Miss
Todd because she was obnoxious to one
man suspended the mails at Indianola
and retained on the pay-rolls the negro
postmistress at that point, in spite of
the fact that she was particularly
and personally obnoxious" to the pa
irons of the Indianola Office.
II the fact that an officeholder is
particularly and personally obnox-
Ious" to one man in Delaware is
worthy of consideration, with what
reason does the republican admins
tration ignore the fact that an office
holder is particularly and personally
obnoxious" to hundreds Of men in
Mississippi World-H Herald.

. man might be Republican without
of necessity being bandit. Yet on
cleo ton day each of US marched to
the polls and cast our ballot with an
X on opposing Tickets. And while the
large Republican majority throughout
the state precludes the possibility Of
his election, he is nevertheless quail
lied TO ably and creditably fill the

In q recent interview Gen. Miles is
reported as saying that his recent
trip to the Philippines had convinced
him that sit is mistake to hold on
to those islands; that conditions there
are not favorable to American coloni-
cation. The islands" he said, ''are
densely populated and the population
is congested to a degree that is hard
for the American not familiar with
the situation to understand. Aside
from the expense and inconvenience
of the situation, the matter involves
apology that is, I think, against our
best interests. We are forced into a
position alongside Russia at point
where we would be stronger II we had
thewhole Pacific ocean between US. Rus
STA is certain to dominate the Asiatic
coastof the Pacific, justas we dominate
the American coast. Inevent of war
growing out of the complications due
to Russian and other European man
envers In China and Japan, our posi-
tion in the Philippines forces us to
take part. Russia is friendly to the
United States and is anxious to re-
main on friendly terms with us. We
have a chance to build up fine trade
with Russia and it is unwise to jeop-
Rrdize this commerce for the sake OF
what the Philippine archipelago will
bring to Us. The possession of the is
lands is not likely to bring with II
any positive advantage to the United
States and they will always be 8
source of menace to peace and q
source OF expenditure even with peace
assured. China is the bone of conten-
tion just now and the United States
10 likely to be drawn into the wal
that seems certain to grow from the
present situation.

Inpratltude.

The shrewdness of one of the foun.
ders Of a famous estate in Maine gave
rise to many amusing stories, one of
which has recently been retold.
One day the man, who was large
lumber operator, was experimenting
a crew which was breaking up log
jam in the river. Suddenly the spruce
on which he was standing slipped.
The lumber1nan dropped out of sight
in the water, and the logs closed over
him.
The nearest Frenchman saw the ac-
cident. Hopping briskly over the slip
perry logs, he helped the ''boss" to
land.
Nothing was said about the acct
dent. After an hour or so the French
man began to get anxious. because the
reward which he considered due was
not Forthcoming. He approached the
lumberman and, pulling clumsily at
his cap, stammered:
II see YOU fall in, m'sieur an rim
queek to pull you out fore Won
drowned"
"Prob'ly." snapped the lumberman
"prob'ly, if you'd been tending 70
business as you'd oughter, you would
MT have seen me fall in"

A movement to request ex-President
Cleveland to again become candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination has recently been inaugur-
lted in Pennsylvania. Nothing could
sui: the Republican party better than
the successful outcome of such a
movement, but it will hardly be taken
seriously. The party Of Jefferson and
of Jackson has had enough Of Cleve-
land and Clevelandism. A man so
cold and heartless as he has shown
himself to be-to his friends while
president and to his party in 1896 and
1900-presumes too much in thus
forcing himself upon party he help
ed to destroy. 1t is both useless and
foolish to talk about an united Democ-
racy and the nomination of Cleveland
in the same breath. Further, it is
most inconsistent and objectionable.
A defeat crushing and most huniliat-
ing would be the outcome. 1t matters
little from what section Of the coun-
try the candidate may come, but it
matters much what his past record
has been.

Catholic population of the diocese fell
by 1885, showing decrease of 9.75
per cent. The startling information
will beget anxious thoughts in the
minds of all who are interested in the
prospects of our diocese; but when it
is remembered that within the last
forty years-that is, since 1861, our
diocese has lost 63, 765 Catholics-that
is about 33.44 per cent, or one-third
of the whole-it will occur to every
thoughtful mind that there is solemn
duty incumbent on us, each in his own
sphere, to prevent the further depopu-
lation of our country"

Gated that cannot be disproved.

The Hunter Creek Mining and Mill
ing company, with headquarters in
this city, is said to be in trouble
Judge CAVITY is the attorney for the
complainants, and they appear to be
quite numerous, extending over IL
whole lot of territory. The promoters,
it is alleged, have preyed particularly
upon people of limited means, amongst
them being scores of innocent girls
and women, and all done through a
system of fraud and deceit that has
rarely been equaled. Some one has
said that a sucker is born every
minute, but the success Of these wild
cat and get-rich-quick mining swindles
during the past few years puts this
figure ut Il rather low estimate 1t is

to the operators of such enterprises as
the one cited is said to be.

to be a Christian and possessed of
proper culture We are not familiar
with Cardinal Vaughan's position, but
presume it is little different. So far
as we know, not one Of those great
leaders has held property owning Il
right qualification. We do not believe
it ought to be. The person who owns
property subject to taxation is not
the only one interested in it's admin
istration. Nine times in ten, the man
who pays rent is the first payer of
taxes. Before the landlord pays the
tax-collector, the tenant is compelled
to pay him. Ought he have no voice,
therefore, in the tax-fxing in which
he and his family are directly con-
cerned? Reason and experience both
show that he is the chief bearer of
whatever burden is placed supposed
~ for the public good.
The Catholic women Of Illinois sure
ly have not considered this matter in
all it's bearings. Virtually they are
declaring that they consider property
ownership better qualification than
piety, virtue, culture or even intelli-
gence. Their position indicates that
they would disfranchise every pious,
upright, cultured Catholic stster-wom-
an because she does not own a
house and lot, or taxable stocks OF
bonds. We do not believe they can
justify such attitude. We do not
think any Of the distinguished author.
tiles quoted would approve it if II
We're submitted to them.
The Church has never willingly been
the Church Of the classes, and we
cannot imagine her attempting to jus.
tify such attempt at class-making as
the Illinois effort at this distance
seems to be.

\ delegation of members of the ne
gro press Of the country and of the
Negro Pen and Pencil Club called Oh
Archbishop Ireland at the national
capitol last Saturday and expressed to
him their gratitude and appreciation
of his stand in behalf of the negro.
Archbishop Ireland, in responding,
said that to him the stars and stripes
had no meaning whatever unless they
meant brotherhood of man. The idea
of distinction being made in civil
and political matters because of race
or language or color, he declared, is
un-American. \ man, he said, is a
man. and that is all the American con-
stitution requires or that it should re-
quire if it is truly constitution eX-
pressive Of liberty. He urged his call
ers to have patience and said that
with it the march of civilization and
of Christianity would result i'll full
recognition of their civil and political
rights.
