OVER THE NORTHWEST.

Mandan, N. D.-The tower of the
new Catholic church will be ia feet
high. The electric light company,
city council and railroad employees pro-
pose to donate towards the expense of
an electric light on the cross Of the
tower, so that Mandan may be seen
during the night from Steele to New
Salem. and from Washburn to Fort
Yates.
Missoula, Mont.-The annual retreat
of the Sisters Of Providence of the dis
trict Of Missoula, which has been in
session in this city for ten days, con-
cluded Monday morning, August IS,
at 8 o'clock. The retreat was most
profitable and instructive one and gave
the, sisters of the district an opportu-
nifty to meet together and renew ac-
quaintances. There were no less than
45 in regular attendance from the diff
ferent institutions of the district, COM
prising the towns of Wallace, De Smet,
Saint Regis, Great Falls, Fort Benton
and Missoula. The sessions were con-
Quoted by Rev. Father Baschi Of Pen
dleton, Ore, very learned gentleman
of the Jesuit faith.
Graceville, Minn.-Sisters Teresita
and Emeline, who spent several weeks
here at the convent recuperating after
a hard years work, returned to St.
Paul and Fargo respectively short
time ago. Little Nellie Lockhart was
in Sister Teresita's care as far as Min
neapolis.
Rochester, Minn.-John Murphy was
seriously cut on the forehead and sus-
tained severe bruises on his face and
body Wednesday, August II. He fell
to the ground from a scaffold 16 feet
high while working on st. Mary's hos
pital annex. A fellow workman with
him fell also, but escaped with very
slight injuries. A physician sewed up
Mr.. Murphy's wounds and he is recov-
ering from the effects Of the fall.

statements credited to the statesman.
Quickly Senator Hoar responded, in a
public letter, several thousand words
in length. It dayed Evans and the
association he championed so merci-
lessly and we'll that the tide of public
feeling turned and A. p. A.-ism found
it's backbone broken and ignominy is
staring it in the face. This letter will,
by historian and future generations, be
treasured as document setting forth
opinions that met with the approval
and support of the. vast majority of
the non-Catholics Of Massachusetts.
The following brief extracts are taken
from it: II want to state and advo-
cate my opinions in the face of day;
and you may be sure 1 will do this
without finching before anybody's
threats, or anybody's disple,sure or
indignation. You OH the other hand, 1
understand, want to go into a cellar
to declare your principles. =
You think the way to make good citi-
zens and good men of them (the Irish
Catholics) and to attract them to Prot
estantism, is to exclude them, their
sons and daughters, from all public
employment, and to go yourself into
a dark cellar and curse ut them
through the gratings of the windows.
The American spirit, the
spirit of the age, the spirit of liberty,
the spirit of equality, especially what
Roger Williams called Soul Liberty
is able to maintain herself in a fair
field and in free contest against all
comers. Do not compel her to fight in
cellar. Do not compel her to breathe
the damp malarial atmosphere of dark
places. Especially let no member of
the Republican party, the last child of
freedom, lend his aid to such an effort.
The atmosphere of the republic is the
air Of the mountain top and the sun
light and the open field. Her emblem
is the eagle and not the bat''
Senator Hoar took advantage of
many other opportunities to speak his
mind freely. He had ever good word
to say for the cause Of Ireland. He
sympathized with Ireland in her fight
for home rule. He had no sympathy
with Englan6. He was true Ameri-
can. The spirit Of American liberty
that guided the fathers Of the coun-
try in fighting against English op-
preston was part of the spirit that
influenced his every thought and ut
terance. 1t prompted him to fight
against 'Know-Nothing-ism," it stirred
his blood when "a. p. A.-ism' -four
ished, and it made him stand against
his party when that party decreed that
the liberty and independence Of the
people Of the Philippine Islands
should be taken from them. The coun-
try will miss George Frisbie Hoar,
Massachusetts will mourn him, the
people of every race and creed will
count his death a great loss, and in
the hearts and memories of the Irish
Catholics of Massachusetts and the
country will throb and live the name
of him who when others shrank and
hesitated came forward and gave his
innermost thoughts and beliefs to the
world, caring not what consequence
might be visited upon him, personally,
for boldly championing the cause of
those suffering by Misrepresentation,
and religious and racial prejudice.

Kansas Farmer to Mr.. Bryan

Mr.. w. J. Bryan, Dear olr: YOU
have made the statement in your pa
per. the Commoner, that after the pres
ent election has closed. that it is your
intention to advocate some OF the prln-
ciples contained in the populist plat
form and will do so with the hope OF
converting members of the democratic
party in sufficient numbers so that the
democratic party may at some future
time endorse those principles and in
sert them in a future platform, that
they may become an issue in political
campaign 1t seems to us from our
point of view, very remarkable states
manship
The peoples party having advocated
for years these same principles that
you are intending in the future to adj
vocate, but because Of yourself being
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1904-11-03

so much out of touch with so many OF
the leaders OF your own party, you
dare not advocate openly in your
speeches during the present campaign.
Is the democratic party rut that you
have got into SO very deep that you
can not under any consideration get
out; and so, become free man; and
instead of taking the stump to oppose
the party which already is doing it's
utmost to propagate the very prin-
ciples you have stated to be your in
tention to advocate in the future and
which in your inner man you are ready
to endorse. What does it mean? To
me it is paradox. Your present adj
vocacy of the nominee whose nominal
ton you fought SO bitterly, must sound
to the hearers thereof as that of the
attorney instead of the statesman. 1t
can not have the ring of truth and
soundness it once had, the platform
of your party analysed in plain Eng
lish being so nearly like that of the
republican party
Respectfully your,

Internal Reform May Divert Dissolu-

A cablegram FROM Colon last night says:
That Colombia's internal situation is daily

seriousness thereof is evidenced by dis

of documents dated Bogota. December z,

his cabinet in which 1t is proposed to have
municipalities hold plebiscites as to whether
