PARKER STRENGTH GROWING.

Some time ago The Irish Standard
ventured the opinion that Judge Parker
ought to be and would be the next
Democratic candidate for president.
Since that time much has been written
and said about candidates by both par
ties. At the time we wrote, President
Roosevelt was the only Republican
spoken OF, but since that time power
ful influences have been at work to
accomplish Rooscvclt's defeat for re-
nomination. Senator Hanna. to whom
these influences naturally looked for
leadership has passed away and again
Roosevelt, the lucky one" has clear
road Among Democrats little real
work has since been done, but a great
deal OF talk has been INDUCED in. The
trouble with the Democratic situation
is too mucl, talk. Judge Parker, of all
the Democrats prominently mentioned,
has preserved dignihcd silence. By
so doing he has attracted to himself
more and more the thinking men OF his
party and those who are unselhshly
working for Democratic success.
Without being conscious OF any pride
OF opinion because oil our previously
expressed preference for Judge
Parker, we say that, considered from
every standpoint of principle and pol
icy he appears to be the logical candi-
date Tor the party to nominate. Al
though both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Bryan have each stated they did not
want the nomination and would not &C
cept it, yet by constantly appearing in
the public print in denunciation Of one
another they are doing more towards
making Republican success possible
than all the machinery OF that party,
The great majority OF Democrats have
tired oil the chickering's OF the last few
years. Mr.. Cleveland. who has re-
| ccivcd greater honors at the hands OF
| his party than any Democrat since
| Jackson should give to his party the
| benefit of his valuable counsel without
continually calling attention to alleged
sins oil the past. Mr.. Bryan should re-
alize that the Democratic party i'll con-
ycntion should be allowed to form the
next platform and nominate the next
ticket. No temporary issue is greater
than the party The Democratic party
was not formed as single issue party
1t existed before there was any CUES
ton about the money ratio and was
founded upon principles broader ant
deeper than any mere economic prin-
ciple. There ought to be room on Z
real Democratic platform for all Dem
ocrats Aside from these two men
who are the leaders of the opposing
factions OF the party, there is at leas'
one-Congressman Hcarst-who is al
avowed and active candidate. We dc
not believe that he will control enough
delegates to make his candidacy for
midable. Senator German. because o
his past record on the tariff and hi
general reputation as politician ant
the fact that he comes from the South
| is not strong in the doubtful Eastern
states. Ex-Secretary Olney is an abl'
man and would make great president
Il but he is old and his intimate connec
ton with Cleveland would gain TO-
him the enmity Of the more radica
q sBryantmen. After all is said and done

Bishop Phelan, OF Pitsburg, is very
thoughtful man. Owing to the i'll
crease in the cost of living, he has add
ed two hundred dollars to the salaries
of the pastors in his diocese, says the
San Francisco Leader. He ought to
be made an archbishop without delay
Moreover, if he will add a little to the
salaries Of the modest assistants, he
will be worthy of the red hat. The
bishop of Pittsburg is scholar and a
gentleman. He can have Our vote for
anything he wants. Long may he

who was esteemed highly by thousands

He was one OF the best known lumber
men III the state, and in affairs OF bust

THE HAGUE FIASCO.

1t is apparent that the Hague Tribu-
nal is farce and was never intended
by any of the nations as a final ap-
peal in matters of Importance Each
nation looks upon the Hague Tribunal
as a good thing for the other fellow.
Nations have not arrived at that stage
when then can allow their disputes to
be settled on principles of justice and
equity. Individuals long ago, for the
most part, learned the wisdom of put
ting aside. their deadly weapons,
stopped avenging private wrongs, es-
tablished courts of justice where
wrongs were to be righted and rights
enforced according to a prescribed
method. In so far as individuals have
abided by the courts of justice which
they thus established, they have ceased
to be barbarians and outlaws, but in
so far as they resort to physical force
or threatened physical force to enforce
demands, right or wrong, to that ex-
tent they are "sandbaggers," 'hold-up
artists and outlaws in general For.
tunately the great majority OF individ-
uals willingly submit their differences
to courts Of justice, But individuals as
collectivism have not learned that les
son. Nations, when they establish ar
bitration boards and tribunals, do so
with the mental reservation that they
will not abide by unfavorable decisions
They establish Hague Tribunal and
Immediately set to work harder than
ever to build navies and equip armies.
All this they do in the interest OF
peace. When dispute arises between
nations no reference is made to the
arbitration board which they have
helped to establish. The first act is
to inspect their arsenals and put their
house in readiness for attack from the
other side. This was the way CEN
turtles ago Individuals protected them
selves and their families against their
! neighbors. They learned as the cell
turtles went by that better protection
could be had by banding together in
tribes and later still into nations and
still later into empires. War to-day
is but the evidence of the brute passion
in individual man. AS individuals we
suppress Our baser passions and re-
frain from killing our individual enc
NV hit as a collection Of individual Is
in what we call nation we allow our
brute passion full sway. We neither
desire nor try to avert war which is
carried on for robbery, revenge or the
mere satiatine of morbid passion OF
destructiveness. In the first case the
war is called one in the interest OF civ
| ilization and Christianity, and in the
last instance it is said to be for ma
tional honor and glory Nations are
behind the individual in the laying
aside Of the instrumentaitics Of prilri-
tive man. The Haguc Tribunal is but
pretense, and arbitration only a
means OF delay. Steel and powder are
the implements OF so-called civilized
powers. During the first century OF
the existence of this nation we usel
these implements only in defense. Ii
may not be long before the fighting
element in the individual may lead It's
into wars where Our only justification
will be national honor and glory

At the late Los Angeles convention
an Episcopal minister, representing
New Mexico, went out Of his way to
calumniate the Catholic people Of that
territory. Judge Baker, of Omaha, as
sociate justice OF the supreme court Of
New Mexico, had this to say short
time since: "When l went back to my
old home the last time, some OF my
friends tried to make the people of
New Mexico ridiculous in my eyes by
calling them .greasers.' I returned
promptly that would sooner have any
case at law tried by jury of these
same Americans of Mexican descent
;or Spanish blood than the sort OF jury
i had found il Omaha. That expresses
my opinion Of them precisely. They
are good sons, husbands and fathers;

The Protestant Bishop Brown, OF
Arkansas, speaking in Boston on Feb
ruary 18th before an audience chiefly
of Episcopal clergymen, condoned the
lynching Of negroes, says the Pilot
The Catholic Bishop Duricr, OF Match
itoches, La, issued a pastoral against
lynching few years ago. Cardinal
Gibbons publicly opposed the disiran-
chisement of the negroes. 1t is I'M
necessary to emphasize the contrast.
Let us add, however, that the Rev. Dir.
Field, OF the church OF the Advent,
Boston, and others, protested against

Our imperialist friends will hardly
be able to appreciate the fine irony and
ridicule contained in the following
clipping from the New York Post: We
cannot find words properly to charac-
terize the ingratitude of the Porto
Rcans. Not content with having
delegate in Congress of equal powers
with the representatives of New Mex
leo and our other territories, and with
having the right to enter and leave the
United States freely, these miserable
"dagoes" and "half-breeds" actually
demand statehood or freedom. Such
impudence is really unheard Of. Did
we not free them from the harshest
kind of tyranny? Have we not given
them many new schools, up-to-date mu-
nicipal charters, electric railways,
Porto Rican regiment and numerous
other favors? Within a week or two
our courts have even held them to be
citizens of the United States, and yet,
on Saturday, by vote of 60 to IS, the
Federal Assembly demanded self-gov-
ernment as separate country, or the
right to enter the Union. This is
Americarization with vigor, and with
entirely too much Yankee hustle" Is
it possible that the Porto Ricans have
not been reading the Tribune's editor
ials? If they had but garnerel that
wisdom, they would have known how
hopeless it is for them to demand
either statehood or independence The
former might debase our nation; for
the latter they are, OF course, totally
unfit. Under the circumstances. they
must be content to remain colonial
subjects forever and day. Had they
but spark of gratitude they would
thank God for this privilege and put
away their idle dreams OF liberty, of
the right to control their destinies, or
even 10 say for themselves when and
how they shall be taxed

College professors, like preachers,
sometimes find it necessary to do and
say absurd things in order to attract
attention. In the sharp competition
of the present day it takes real worth
and ability to win merited distinction.
The man who lacks real ability resorts
to sensationalism Professor Triggs
of the University of Chicago is a case
in point. Hc has attracted attention
by expressing opinions SO shallow and
ridiculous that they brought him into
contempt. The University of Mime
sofa. of which he is an alu,nnus, will
hardly call him home to confer an
honorary degree. Even university pro-
fessors should have some common
sense.

afteh the fight is on. When she is

ready and starts to move she will be
as hard to stop as she was slow to
move. 1t is hardly probable that Rus
STA will allow any serious fighting to
take place before the middle of next
summer Ii Russia is to be defeated
in this war it will be because Japan
can stand stress and expenses OF war
for longer number OF years than can
Russia. This seems unreasonable and
it is likely that if left to themselves
to fight it out Russia will not be the
first to sue for peace.

GIRL FRATS CRUEL.
High School Antics Put Vic
tins At Deaths Door.

Lafayette, Ind, Dec. 3.-Investi.
cation is to be made INTO the initia-
ton of young women into the Phi
Kappa Theta, the local High School
Society. Already astounding reve-
lations have been made, growing out
of the exhausted condition of the
girls. Investigation Of the facts
brought to light show that hazing
done by male students in any part
of the state is surpassed in this case.
1t appears that the young women
were treated numerically and the
initiation was so severe that six of
the victims tainted from exhaustion
and shock. The initiation lasted eigh-
teen hours.
Each girl was made to carry a
heavy load of bricks for more than
mile, and without any rest were
forced to retrace their steps under
the burden. Before reaching the
residence where the initiation was
conducted, two girls fell exhausted,
but were forced to take up the bur
den again, though staggering from
fatigue.
1t is alleged that a pretense of
holding hot irons to the backs of the
girls was made so realistic that all
the victims tainted, and also that
they were made to believe they
were eating angle worms when in
fact they were eating macaroni.
One of the girls is at the point of
death and four others are in a seri-
Gus state of nervous prostration.

was very annoying at night. We
tried many different remedies and

clan but nothing seemed to do him
much good. learned about Doan's
Kidney Pills and got box at Thorn

The rudy, blue-eyed elderly
man in the blue serge coat, who
was addressed as captain" by his
two friends in the smoker, was
commenting on a recent newspa-
per account Of the sufferings of
some shipwrecked men who were
taken from an open boat by pass
ing vessel, relates the Chicago
Daily News.
"Of course, on a well-traveled
track like that there's always the
chance of being picked up" he
said. "I'd sooner be in a ship
wreck than railroad wreck.
There's nearly always an oppOr-
tunity to launch a boat or lash
some gratings before a ship goes
down, or to grab life belt, but it

a big sea broke over our quarter
and washed a Norwegian sailor

built fellow and a good seaman,
and we were short handed, so as

order he realized that no boat

The captain paused to relight

beads broke.

one.
The captain checked himself in
the application of the third match.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Was he rescued?"
The captain looked reproach-
fully at the speaker. "NOw that's

he said. didn't tell you he was
