would Liberal victory be of value to
Ireland and that would be in case the
Liberals secured majority over the
Conservatives, but not clear major
ity over the latter and the Irish Ma
tionalists. In case the Irish members
had the balance of power King Ed
ward might find it necessary to ask
John Morley to form a government
and in such case no doubt the ministry
would be one favorable to Irish de-
mands. While the situation in Eng
land is distinctly more favorable to
the Liberals than it was a year ago.
yet it hardly can be said that the pros
poets for Ireland have improved as
rapidly as was hoped for year ago.
Yet Irishmen should not be discour-
aged. No matter what party is in
power it is an assured fact that the
Irish Nationalist will continue to be
free lances in parliament with one
idea always uppermost. So long as
they maintain their political independ-
ence and refuse to aid any party which
refuses to help Ireland the time is
pretty sure to soon come when one or
the other of the parties will accede to
Irish demands. The destruction of the
powerful Unionist party is distinct
gain for Ireland. The lack of firm,
capable anti-home rule Liberal leader
is another good thing. If the Liberals
win the next election by small ma
jority, that will be another good thing.

MORE STATISTICS.

The New York Sun has a penchant
for statistics. 1t is especially fond of
figures designed to prove that the
Catholic church is losing ground in the
United States. 1t dissents vigorously
from remarks of Bourke Cochran
lately made to the effect that this
country would be converted to Catho-
licism within a century:
"Mr. Bourke Cochran, in an address
made by him on Sunday to a Roman
Catholic society on Long Island, predict
ed the conversion of the United States
to Catholicism within century. The
very great change which has come
over public sentiment in this country
during the last fifty years is suggested
in the general indifference with which
such remark is received now. II 1t
had been made fifty years ago it would
have provoked bitter Protestant re-

Every Minnesotan has reason to be
nroud of the Minnesota State Fair.
This annual assembling Of the people
of the state has become noted through
out the whole country. There can be
no doubt that these fairs are great
factors in the agricultural, industrial
and commercial welfare Of the state.
AS an educational factor their import
ance cannot be over estimated. Eco
ple of this state gain new and valu-
able IDEAS at the state fairs which en-
HANOI the value of the farms and the

sentiment. No campaign orator like
Mr.. Cochran would have dared to
make it in the midst of great politi-
cal canvass.
"Now the disposition will be SIMPLY
to question the soundness of Mr.. Cock
rams judgment. If the United States
has not been converted to Catholicism
during the last century, what reason
is there to suppose that the conversion
is to take place during the next? AS
Bishop McFaul of Trenton declared
some time since, the conversion would
have been effected already if the Ro-
man Catholic church had held all the
people of it's faith, with their descend
ants, who have been brought to us by
annexation of territory on this CONT
nent and by immigration from Roman
Catholic countries. His calculation
was that if that had been done the
Catholic population Of the United
States would be 4O,OOO,OOO, or about
half the whole population, though &C.
tually according to his estimate, the
number is only 100000.
''That estimate of the existing Cath
Ollie population is high; but accepting
it, the number represents less than n
fifth of the total population and is en-
ceeded by the Protestant church men,
bership and even more by the popula-
ton outside of all churches and beyond
their influence. OF the immigration
now coming to this country a great
part is Jewish, though from Italy the
Roman Catholic church is receiving
many adherents. The Irish immigra-
ton, from which source come the most
faithful body of Roman Catholics in
the past, has diminished greatly, and
an anti-emigration society in Ireland
is using every influence to diminish it
still further.
'The Roman Catholic population of
native extraction is relatively small.
Censuses of church attendance in our
large towns have indicated that the
great mass of the population are neg
lectful of religious observances. The
church membership of the Union, Prot
estant and Catholic, comprises a mi
nority of the population-only about
30,OO0,O0O out of SO,O0O,OOO.
"The conversion of the United States
to Catholicism, therefore, is not prob
ability of the future that need excite
Protestant alarm. The alarm for which
there may be justification is as to
the preservation of either religious
faith with the intensity of conviction
which distinguished the period before
criticism Of all religious dogmas began
to be as widespread as it is now. In
stead of being enemies. Protestants
and Catholics have reason rather to u.
allies in the defence of religious faith,
of supernaturalism, against their com.
mon enemy of Indifference and inn
deity"

small claim to make for a state which

POLITICS IN ENGLAND.

After twenty years of hopeless mi
nority the Liberal party in England
seems in fair way of regaining
power. For twenty years with the
exception of about two years in the
early part of the last decade the Lib
eral party has been disorganized and
ineffective opposition party. 1t is only
lack Of capable leadership which pre-
vents the party from taking power at
once. But the pendulum has COM
menced to swing back in favor of
Gladstone's old party. Several causes
are bringing this about. The attempt
of Mr.. Chamberlain and his friends
to NEEDLE with the free trade policy of
the United Kingdom is at present the
most weighty cause fighting for the
Liberals. The Boer war which at one
time threatened to destroy what was
left Of the Liberal party, is now help
ing to unhorse the Tories. 1t will be
remembered that many of the Liberals
under the lead of such men as Sir
Henry Campbell-Bannerman and John
Morley bitterly opposed the Boer war
and the spirit of Imperialism, while
other leaders, such as Lord ROsebery
and Mr.. Asquith, supported the con-
servatives in the war policy. The
fight became so bitter that it threat
ened to divide the Liberals again as
home rule had done ten years before
Now that the war is over and the people
are compelled to pay enormous taxes
to meet the war debt, the Tories are
coming in for all kinds of blame. The
educational bill passed by the present
government has made opponents of all
the nOn-conformists in the kingdom
The hand writing is on the wall
Every bye election if it does not result
in a Liberal majority shows n greatly
reduced government majority.
Unfortunately, however, the impend-
ing change does not mean so much for
Ireland as did the result of Glad
stones whirlwind midlothian cam
paign of 1884. The Liberal party is
no longer bound to home rule for Ire
land, at least none of the prominent
leaders of the party are home rulers,
except John Morley, and he will
scarcely be asked by the king to form
a ministry when the Liberals secure a
majority. The most likely leaders and
in the order named are Lord Rose
berry, Lord Spencer, Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the Duke Of Devon
shire, Mr.. Asquith and John Morley.
Lord Rosebery it will be remembered
took Gladstone's place when he re-
signed the Partnership for the last
time. He never was a true friend of
home rule and IS altogether too much
| of an imperialist for Ireland to ex-
pect anything at his hands. Lord
Spencer is the leader of the small band
of Liberals in the House Of Lords and
Campbell Bannerman is the lead
err in the House of Commons.
The Duke of Devonshire deserted
Gladstone on the home rule question
and has just returned to the Liberal
party because of Balfour's friendship
for Chamberlain's protection ideas.
! Mr.. Asquith is an imperialist and an
] enemy Of home rule. John Morley of
all the former great associates of
Gladstone remains true to home rule
for Ireland. In one contingency alone

Now that the Democrats have NOM
mated their state ticket there should
be no delay in opening the campaign.
There should be no mistake, however,
in the manner of campaign to be car
ried on. The party will make serious
mistake if its candidates or it's man
ayers enter into fight in which per-
sonal abuse plays the chief part. We
believe that there are good reasons
why the Democratic ticket should be
elected. Large majorities have rem
dered the Republican party insensible
to public opinion. So secure have the
Republican leaders felt that they have
not hesitated to smother ut the behest
of public service corporations all at
tempts at tax reform. They have not
stopped in their mad rush for office to
mil down the courts of the state. They
have not thought it necessary to prom
fse better things for the future. On
the strength Of sham merger fight
they expect to fool the farmers of the
state into keeping them in power.
When confronted with the fact that
there is disaffection in the party they
boldly assert that the immense major
ity which they expect Roosevelt to
obtain will carry them through.
The time has come in politics in this
country when men and parties must
have other reasons than desire for
Office to present to the voters, If they
expect to succeed. Fortunately also,
the time has come when personal abuse
is more likely to aid than to hurt a
candidate. We do not correctly est-
mate the Democratic candidates If IT
should develop that they will counte.
nance personal abuse of opponents
The personal character of the Repub'
ucan candidate for governor has been
pretty thoroughly discussed by the
Republican factions already. If hal.
what was said about him be true, he is
not 1T to be governor Of the state
For our own part we believe that he
was subjected to unwarranted abuse
during the preliminary campaign, and
twe are Of the further belief that suct
abuse materially aided him in secur
ing the nomination. Let it be thor
