LOOKOUT BRIGHT FOR SUCCESS.

From all over the state come reports
gratifying to the Democracy. The Re-
publican majority, from national
standpoint, will be reduced somewhat
compared with the election of 1900,
though the state is conceded to Roose-
welt by about the average Republican
majority. But the contest for governor
bids fair to result in the triumphant
election Of John A. johnson, who is
making magnificent canvass and is
received with marked enthusiasm
wherever he goes. Ex-Governor Lind,
who was candidate for reelection in
presidential year, that of 1900, was
defeated by some twenty-five hundred
votes in the face of the fact that the
Republican candidate for the presiden-
cy, William Mckinley, received a ma
jority of 10000 in the state. 1t has
always been conceded by Republicans
as well as Democrats that Mr.. Lind
received plurality of the votes cast at
that time over Governor Van SAINT, but
the unfortunate mixing on the ballot
of the words Democrat and Social
Democrat deprived him of reelection.
There is no doubt but what he would
have had splendid margin over his
Republican competitor if it had not
been for the reason assigned
In the campaign Of 1900, just re-
ferred to, the Republican state ticket
was an average one. 1t had clements
of popularity which made the struggle
still greater for Mr.. Lind. At the pres
ent time the case is somewhat differ
ent. The ticket nominated by the
Republican party is a weak one, made
so in particular manner by the nomi-
nation of Robert G. Dunn for governor.
In every section of the state Repub-
licans are turning against him and his
methods and it will not be surprising
If he is defeated by a vote surprising
that of Mr.. Lind in 1898. This is the
outlook at the present time and every
Democrat and every friend of good
government in the state should redou-
Die his efforts in bringing about this
result. Taken as a whole there has
never been stronger. cleaner or ADLER

the candidate for lieutenant-governor
and every man associated with Mr..
johnson on the ticket richly deserves
success. 1t is growing more and more
apparent eevry day that John a. John
son will be the next governor of Min
nesota.

LOYAL TO THE PARTY.

Our Republican friends find more or
less to say about VIM. J. Bryan and
some of them feign surprise at his 10y
atty to the party of Jefferson and Jack
son. Such men are usually narrow
and their conception of honor and of
duty is of a selfish nature. If we had
more men with the honesty, candor
and sincerity of Bryan in American
political life the country would be
much the gamer. In an address deliv-
cred at Springfield. Mo-, on September
1, 1904, Mr.. Bryan said:
Neither is it necessary to say that
the presidential nominee Of the party
was not my choice for that place; my
objection to him was not as to his
character or to his personality, but to
the fact that he did not stand with us
upon the economic questions which

this so-called converted Jew," for he
is something of an imposter. His con-
version needs remodeling.

The Carnegie Steel company has in
structed the superintendents Of the
various departments Of that industry
to employ no man over IS years of age
in certain departments, says the Mich
igan Catholic. This order only effects
the skilled men, the majority of whom
are Of Irish, Scotch, English and
Welsh nationality. This order plucks
from men in the prime of life the
means of earning livelihood in a
business in which they were trained
from boyhood. No wonder there is un-
rest amongst the toilers, and that the
apostles Of anarchy are gaining con-
verts to belief of blood and crime.

1t is said, and no doubt truly, that
the Holy Father is displeased with the
manner in which the Vatican news is
being handled by the correspondents,
says the Western Watchmn. The lat
ter have signally failed to bring out the
inner facts in the present imbroglio
with France. The strength Of Del
Val's position was minimized either in
tentionally or for want Of n knowl-
edge of the true issues involved, and
the absurdity of Delcasse's pretensi0ns
has been so cloaked as to give them
the appearance Of solemn facts and
arguments. The latest news that the
Vatican is about to establish a news
agency of it's own must be accepted
with caution, as such assurances have
been given out repeatedly in the past,
and have never gone beyond the on dit
stage Of development. Journalists out
Of a job are numerous in Rome, and
they are ever ready to start something
at other peoples expense.

Best Time to BUY.

A story is told Of H. II. Rogers, the
Standard Oil man, which is worth re-
peating, says the Now York Times.
A young man Of this city who had
the same name and initials as Mr..
Rogers frequently received through
the mail letters which were intended
for the Standard Oil man. One day
he received a bill for a new flag fur
nished to Mr.. Rogers yacht, which
he mailed to him with the following
note:
"Dear Sir: I received the enclosed.

VIM. McArdle, formerly Of this city,
but for many years past resident Of
Seattle, Wash, is the Democratic can
didate in the present contest for the
house from his legislative district. Mr..
McArdle is of Irish parentage, was
born in Ottawa, Can, about Sc years
ago, and as young man served as
soldier, we believe, between 1866
and 1869 in the Indian campaigns
with Hancock and Sheridan. Coming
here in the early seventies he was a
resident of Minneapolis until about
1890, when he removed to Seattle,
where he has since made his home, and
where, too, he has already been hon
ored in a political way, having been
elected to the legislature in 1894 and
to the common council of Seattle in
1896, serving as councilman for four
years. While a resident Of Mime
apolis Mr. McArdle was elected to the
Minnesota legislature in 1885 and in
1886 was chosen as alderman from the
| Third ward and in both bodies served
with distinction. He is man of splen-
did capabilities, faithful to any cause
he espouses, clear in his judgment,
conservative and safe, and has always
been staunch friend of the honest
toiler. That was his record here and
it is safe to say it has been his record
in Washington. "Billy" McArdle, as
he is familiary known to all the old
residents here, has a host of Mime
apolis friends who will eagerly look
for his success.

10000 PEOPLE PRESENT.
At the Funeral of a Sydney, Austria
liza. Priest.

la, Priest.
Think of 10000 people attending the
funeral of a priest! The Catholic
Press" of Sydney, Australia, says:
''The funeral of the late Very Rev.
Father LIE Rennetel was probably one
of the largest seen in Sydney since
that of Archbishop Polding, in 1877.
1t is estimated that over 10000 peo~
pie took part in the last obsequies.
The Catholic church has not only lost
a priest; the whole city has lost
friend. Among those who wept un~
ashamed in the open streets as the
coffin passed to the grave were melg
and women of all denomina tions;
among those who stood with bowed
heads and sorrowful faces as the
cardinal pronounced the last absolu~
tions in the parish church were rep
resentatives of every department Of
our commercial, political and official
life. The bells Of churches outside
the Catholic fold Joined their melan-
choly tolling to the muffled peals of
st. Mary's cathedral.
"At the grave, when the whispers
of the waves mingled with the pray
ers of the priests, and the coffin disap-
pearing into the earth, a great sob
went up from the enormous gathering.
1t was all pitiably sad, yet sweet as
we'll, when we reflect that it was all q
tribute to the worth of the big
hearted French missionary who for
twenty-five years had made the peace
and welfare of his people, and all who
came to him for help and comfort, his
unending care"

Professor Moses, in an address be-
fore the Congress Of Arts and Sciences
in st. Louis, revealed the hitherto un-
discovered fct that the civilization of
the Philippines is the result Of Spanish
effort, says the San Francisco Monitor.
He advocated holding on to the islands,
because to relinquish them would be
practically handing them over to some
European power. And we hold no ILL
will toward any foreign country, at
present. Possibly Spain might be in
duced, for another $2O,OO0,O0O bonus,
to take the territorial white elephant
off our hands. 1t is by no means GER
tain, however.

William r. Hearst. president of the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs, has issued an address to that
association urging upon it's members
Especial activity and untiring energy
from now until the closing of the
polls" The address says: II hope
that every official and every individual
member of every club in our associa-
ton will do all that he can-and more
than ever before-to promote and ex-
pound the interests and beliefs of gen.
uine Jeffersonian Democracy. 1 call
upon all members of the clubs to begin
earnest campaign work Immediately,
to reorganize where reorganization is
necessary, and especially to respond
promptly and energetically to every
suggestion that may come from the
national management of the Demo-
cratic party. There are special reasons
why the Democrats of the United
States should assert themselves and
work energetically in this campaign.
First and foremost, there is the per-
manent duty before us alive must
restore the government of this coun-
try to the hands of the people for
whom and by whom the government
was created. As Democrats we are in

sincere work the charges made against
us. The president of the United States

Senator George Frisbie Hoar who
died at his home in Worcester, Mass,
ON Thursday of last week, will long
be remembered in the hearts of the
Irish people and of all people who love
liberty, justice and right. He was an
opponent of bigotry in every form and
was never backward in lending his as
sistance to thwart and crush it wher-
ever and whenever it raised it's head.

recent years-but he stands for so
many things that are important, that
1 can earnestly support him.
Judge Parker believes in the gold
standard, believe IN bimetallism, but
can vote for him in order that
through him the country may rid itself
of an imperial policy. What if he does
believe in the gold standard? 1 never
disliked an advocate of the gold stand
ard so much that I would refuse any
aid that he was willing to give toward
bringing to the country any good
things, and Judge Parker's election
would bring us relief from imperial
ism.
II believe in the triumph of every
righteous principle and I have such
faith in the Righteousness of our cause
that l am not afraid that any policy
in which we have confidence can be de-
feated by the election of Democratic
president, even though he may not
agree with us on all questions. If he
will help us remove the issues which
now distract attention and prevent a
consideration Of economic questions,
we can await the time when the peo.
pie can again give their attention to
the industrial situation. You can hasten
the coming of the time by your sup.

"But may the good Lord deliver us

expressed by Secretary Shaw in his

ago, and through the help of his

by the tariff laws the time of "cheap

the Irish-American. On July 1, 1897,
at the beginning of the eight years Of

Dun's index numbers to be $13. On

living has increased by over 26 per

per family, on one branch of outlay,
which represents only about Is per
