the Western deserts, the new home mar

Eugene A. Phiibin.

New York, Aug. lex District At
torney Eugene A. Philbin, a recognized
gold Democratic leader in New York, is
out for Roosevelt. In explaining his po-
sition ne said with regard to Rooseyelt's
devotion to duty:
"Those who are forced 10 admit that
Roosevelt's course during the last three
years has been conservative insist that
this was because he was a candidate for
reelection all this time and that when
he is elected by voice Of the people he
will take a different course.
MY personal acquaintance with
Roosevelt leaves me in no doubt re-
garding his attitude in that respect. He
has at all times shown willingness to
sacrifice personal policy for the public
good and great devotion to duty. He is
also shrewd politician, and to be that
he must be possessed with the necessary
sagacity TO manage our foreign rela-
tions so that our interests will be best
subseryed."

life. 1t declares that mo man can point

poor the oppressed or the despised.'
The change in the party alignment OF
this influential Irish-American journal is
significant 1t is an instance and evil
denee of the change which has been go-
ing on for twenty years which has di-
yidcd between two great political parties
the Irish Catholic vote, which formerly
was almost solidly Democratic The
Democratic party was well served by the
Know Nothing craze which swept the
country for q very brief period Fifty years
ago. This drove the foreign-born voters,
the great majority OF whom at that time
were Irish Catholics into the Democratic
party because it was opposed to the
Know Nothings. When the organization
and ideas of the latter disappeared from
the face Of the earth the Democratic
party retained the advantage which 1t
had gained, and the new immigrants nat
urally joined the political organization
to which their friends and the other
members OF their race belonged. A
great many Irishmen broke away from
their old moorings and voted for Blaine
in 1884 and have remained with the
Republican party ever since. These will
vote for Roosevelt this year. and the
Boston lot points ont why orher Irish
Americans should do the same thing.
The Iris has race have fiourished and
grown strong in this country. They have
improved their condition in many ways.
They have gained wealth. They have
displayed a genius for politics and have
found here their opportunity 10 make the
most of it. A generation ago they were
making our railroads and doing the
rough and heavy work of the country
generally. Now immigrants from the
south and east OF Europe FL! the role of

Irish are more likely TO be found super

try, and as they perceive that this coun-
try has been for over forty years, ex-
cepting very brief Interval. under the
sway aud dominated by the policies of
the Republican party. II is not surprising
that intelligent Irishmen are joining the
party under whose rule they have profit
ed SO greatly.
There are many good reasons why
Irishmen should vote the Republican ma
tional ticket. The Pilot, however. lays
most of its stress on one consideration.

AFTER FoRTY-NINE YEARS.
Michigan Democratic Newspaper
Leaves Democracy for Republication.

Muskegon. Mich. Aug. 1.-THE
Muskegon News, which since its first
issue forty-nine years ago has upheld
Democratic principles, has announced
that henceforth it will be a Republican
paper. Supplementary TO the announce
ment Of the change Henry VANITY, the
publisher. former Democratic State com
mitteeman and lifelong Democrat, an
rounced that he had joined the Republi-
can ranks.
The News in explanation for its ac-
zion says: This change of policy comes
from a conviction that the Democratic
party of to-day is not the Democratic
party of the days gone by; from the be-
lief that the domination of that party
as at present constituted in the nation
would not be conducive to the best in
terests OF the people, and from the con-
viction that the supremacy of the Repub-
lican party is necessary TO pational de-
velopment"

BE GOOD TO THEM.
While wobbliug IudcHnitciy, Demo
Gratis Are Half Happy.

There Is such thing as thoughtful
ness and human kindness, and 1t be-
hooves the Republicans to rejoice with
the Democrats. inasmuch as the Demo
Gratis are, after a manner, rejoicing
among themselves. after many years.
Why should they not? They have at
least adjusted themselves together, after
fashion and. in their own estimation,
are approaching the banks of the sweet
waters.
1t is true that throughout all this
blessed assimilation runs streak Of
venom. There is Hill at the East and
there is Bryan in the West, there is
gold and expert foxiness on the one hand,
and silver and loud-voiced, landscape
sweeping oratory on the other--and
where are we nj?
Still, as human beings, caring for
other human beings, every broad-minded
Republican should be with the Demo-
Gratis in their rejoicing over being half
way right. They have. at least. got
together upon the same road. They are
all uncertain as they march: they wab-
bic indefinitely, they do not know wheth-
er they are going TO Oshkosh or Perdi-
ton, but what OF it. They are at least
marching together and marching again.
1t is, perhaps, not going too far to
say that putty is the only word that de-
scribes their candidates though each can
didate be eminently respectable and
good man. and unfortunate only in hav-
ing been brought under the searchlight.
All those things do not matter at all.
1t is the halfway happiness of the Dem
ocrats in being halfway right in having
halfway adjusted platforms together
that thinking men should rejoice over
After all, we are nothing but fellow
beings with other beings. and we ought
to care for each other and rejoice in each
others happiness, and we should be glad
that. with a vague, indefinite dab at a
platform which the Republicans have
been giving them for years, the Demo-
Gratis are happy. God bless them God
bless us ALL" said little Tiny Tim.
