Mr.. O'Callaghan-I claim now to

Revising Barrister-I can't do that,
sir. 1t is not town clerks way. It
is the rule of the courts in this coun-

Mr.. O'Callaghan-Very we'll, sir. I
hope it won't remain long like that.

an Irish speaker, and not with my

Revising Barrister - Under what

Mr.. O'Callaghan-William O'Callag-

Revising Barrister-How long have
you been known under that name in

Mr.. O'Callaghan-For some time

The "Irish Catholic vote" is still be-
ing appealed to in some quarters for
Mr.. Roosevelt's election, says James
r. Randall, the poet author of s.My
Maryland" in the Catholic Columbian,
Without abiding to the friar question.
in the Philippines, and the heretical
disorders there, let us listen to Ed
ward M. Shepherds speech, recently,
in which he mercilessly holds up the
Roosevelt administration as the ally
Of England in helping to destroy the
Boer republics.
Once in speaking with the versatile
and gifted Edward Ingle, in Baltimore,
1 alluded to the monstrous outrage
permitted by the Republican authori-
ties Of British camp on the plains
Of Chalmette - Andrew Jackson's old
battlefield-where, in defiance of neu-
tralfty, British officers sent forward a
long and steady supply of horses and
mules, which were contraband Of war,
to the British army in South Africa.
The official report of the British gov.
eminent shows that this was the key
to the situation and that but for such
remounts, the overthrow Of the Beers
would have been practically impos-
sible. Mr.. Ingle said: 'The greatest
British camp in the United States Is
not on the plains of Chalmette, but
in the state department at Washing
In" The Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lican, after quoting judicial authority
and reviewing the British official re-
port, says:
'Thus the British maintenance Of a
military supply depot at Chalmette
was illegal in the sight Of international
law, and our government violated the
neutrality it should have observed,
and it became, in effect, an accomplice
in the destruction Of the South African
republics. John Hay, more than any
other man under the president, was
responsible for this performance"
1t Is no concern of mine how Irish
Catholics or anybody else may vote.
That is their own concern. But no
Irish Catholic need be duped into the
idea that Roosevelt & Go. are anti
English. By their fruits we know
them. Michael Davitt Numbered
against this base, illegal outrage end
ing in the subjugation Of the Beers
and the demolition of their republics,
the victims of British greed and Jew
and Gentle money-changers. It may
be that Mr.. Bonaparte, who defends
the Panama rape may defend the Brit
ish camp at Chalmette and in the
state department, but the average
patriotic Irishman, Catholic or Prot
estant, who hates British despotism
and loves home rule, must have a
strong and paradoxical stomach to
swallow, politically, Roosevelt and
Hay, on the pretence that either Of
them is the foe and not the ally Of
England.
So, let the Irish vote" 60 as It
pleases, but not on the line Of cant
and false pretences.
