Platt's Corrupt Connection With

Disclosed
Republican State Machine Re.
cipient Of Large Campaign
Contributions

NJ
Senator Thomas G. Platt, Republican
boss in New York. state, was the prin-
cipal witness Of the day before the
insurance investigation committee.
Senator Platt said that the Equitable
society contributed $4,000 q year to
the Republican state campaign fund.
He said the contributions were In cash
and were sent by messenger to his
Office and he turned them over to the
state committee. They were unsolicit-
ed, he said.
Senator Platt said that $4,000 was
frequently paid as an annual contribu.
ton to the state campaign fund, but
tnat 1t was not regular thing and
that he could not remember the years
In which it was paid. The New. York
Life Insurance company, he said, also
contributed, but not nearly SO much.
Senator Platt said also that he had
received frequent contributions Of $40.
600 each from the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company. Senator Platt said he
was expected in return for the contri-
buttons to influence legislation when
any measures were hostile to the in.
surance companies. He added that he
does not know Andrew Hamilton. nor
anything about Hamilton's activity be.

about Andrew G. Fields, who repre-.

The identity of Senator Depew's

read at the session of the committee
Friday, when Senator Depew was on

Nichols disclosed series Of payments
to w. S. Manning of Albany, former
actuary who had been connected with
the investigation Of insurance com.

that these contributions are made for

as an arrangement for carnal cohabita-
ton solely-which levels humanity
with the beasts of the field-these are
the sort of people that are solicited by
the class of summer resort keepers
whose advertisements serve notice
that Catholics are not wanted. It is a
long span from the WITHDRAWING Pur-
itans of the seventeenth century to
their free love descendants of the
twentieth century. The difference be-
tween the Yankee of today and his
fore-bears is enormous. But there
still remains some points of resem-
blance; and the most notable point,
which has been transmitted from sire
to son, is hatred of the Catholic faith.
Yet, Notwithstanding this intolerant
feeling, Catholicity is growing wonder

iZatiOn of the Land League and the
subsequent battles. He remained true
all his life to the land of his fathers
and to their religion. He was an
American citizen and received as high
honors as anyone not born in this
country could receive. There are
many public men of whom it can and
must be said that they are ideal men
in their home life and in their private
dealings. There are few of whom it
can be said that they are or have been
ideal officials,-able, honest and con-
scientious in the public service, but
whose private lives are not all that
could be desired. Patrick A. Collins
was one of the few who applied the
same high ideals to public and private
life alike. He was an ideal man at
home, an ideal neighbor, a good citi-
zen. He was also an ideal official. He
might be called a great man. He GER

Mr.. Roosevelt did wrong when he
went down in submarine boat and
stayed in it three hours in the water
says the Catholic Standard and Times.
His life is no longer his own: it is the
nations, and he has no right what.
ever to risk it in such way. 1t was
utterly useless and utterly uncalled
for to do so. Commodus, the Roman
emperor, who went into the arena to
fight wild beasts, was just as excusa-
BILE in his freak. He was a savage, but
Mr.. Roosevelt is Christian, and this
fact ought to make some difference.
1t is not an exceptional thing to be
fearless. An advertising manager on
a paper with which we were once con-
nected one time, for a wager, went,
with mad bill poster, into lions den
and drank half bottle of champagne
and made a speech. We saw him per.
form the bravado. That was not less
courageous than going down in a sub.
marine boat. But wisdom is not less
valuable to human society than animal
courage.

III the Civil war and was about IS
years of age at the time of his demise.
He was born in Ireland, but came to
this country in his young manhood
where, like many others of his race,
he carved his way to honor and fame.
In politics he was a Republican and
in 1892 was delegate to the national
convention in Minneapolis which nom
mated Benjamin Harrison for presi-
dent. True to both God and country,
the church has lost faithful servant

an almost irreparable loss. Mr.. Foley,

disposition, with gaiety of spirit, en-
kdeared him to wide circle of
friends and acquaintance. He was
good neighbor, true friend, kind
husband and loving father. The writer
having known Mr.. Hyland for nearly
fifty years, can cheerfully testify to
his many kind acts and generous do
nations to his church and other
causes, when called on to assist the
poor in any way. He was always
ready to donate in a liberal manner.

Pope and Governor.

favored during his recent visit to
Rome:
ut was my privilege to be permitted
to have few words of conversation in
private audience with His Holiness,
the Pope. Father Murphy, formerly a
resident Of New York city, whom I
had met, and who is now vice-presi-
dent of the American College in Rome,
was my guide and interpreter on this
interesting occasion. Ascending a
staircase which led to the private
apartments Of the Pope, we went
through number of rooms, magnifi-
cent in coloring and beautiful in dec

room of the Pope, when our presence
was made known to him. A moment
or two after there appeared at the
door figure robed in white, with
face kindly and beatifc in expression.
Il was soon engaged in conversation
with the head of the Catholic church
of the world. His manner was pleas-
ant and his knowledge of men and af-
fairs extensive. I was surprised to
find how much he knew of our own
country and its doings. He was inter.
ested, of course, in our affairs so far
as they related to what he was pleased
to term his people, and expressed his
pleasure at the treatment which Ital-
ians receive here, and the honors
which had come to some of them.
after few minutes conversation.
I the other rooms in the meantime hav-
ing filled up with people who were to
meet him in the public audience room,
he said to me: I wish you goodbye

upward he continued, 4 wish for you

Millions of dollars, he alleges, amass-

the sects discussed by Mr.. Kirby are

the Sun Worshipers, the Angel Dane
