convention, Sept. 10, by the arrival Of
a little one, and a girl at that. Mrs.

dent of the division of the Auxiliary
in that city. In honor Of the tried and
true state president, Mrs. Mary B.
Daley, the parents will call the baby
Mary Bridget. one of the best in the
Irish calendar Of names.
From the report of Miss Ella Keat-

bership Of the Auxiliary in the state
is 1884, against 3,441 reported at the
Saltwater convention Of two years ago.
There are now 40 divisions in the

THE FIGHTING PREACHER.

On last Sunday at Marquette Michi-
gan, Bishop McCabe, whom we under
stand is the Methodist Bishop for the
State Of New York, came out as a
prophet of war. Il am, as a general
thing, opposed to war, but 1 would like
to see one more war: one against the
Sultan Of Turkey" he said. Bishop
McCabe has attracted attention here
tofore, and il he were not pretty we'll
known his announcement might create
some surprise. He is an example of
the Christian militant of whom we
have had many in all ages There was
a time when bloody wars were carried
on In the name of religion. People
were christianized or converted from
one form Of Christianity to another, by
the sword. This plan of Christian ex-
tension has been largely abandoned.
but it seems that Bishop McCabe is
still an advocate Of the old method.
We have statesmen who. advocate
war for the purpose of national agran-
dizement. 1t is hard to understand
Christianity which breaches bloodshed.
1t will be remembered that few years
ago when an American ship of war
was sunk in Havana harbor there
arose from certain pulpits throughout
this country thousands of voices clam
oring for immediate war. 1t was
called righteous war;" "a war for
civil and religious liberty" That has
been the cry in every war. Put up
thy sword" Christ said to Peter; and
yet we find men calling themselves
the ministers of Christ and foremost
in every war TO urge the shedding of
blood. If they were Christ's servants
they would hear and heed his COM
mand. The sensational preacher, the
lingo" statesman and the yellow jour-
nalist are among the greatest curses
of our present day society.

A London secular journal, the Tele-
graph, says that the Italian Socialists,
whose efforts have been paralyzed Of
late by their internecine quarrels, are
now making an effort to enlist the
women Of Italy in their cause. "A Con-
gress Of Female Socialists is accord
ingly to be held in Rome in a few
weeks time for the purpose of making
converts among the working women
of the towns and the country. the es-
Enlistment Of a Socialist newspaper,
specially written for women, and the
promotion Of "anti- Clericalism." anti
m,litarism and universal suffrage. That
anti Clerical ideas will find much sup
port from the weaker sex is improb-
able; indeed, 1t is generally believed
that an extension Of the suffrage to
women would greatly strengthen the
Clerical Cor Catholic) party, espe-
cially in Southern Italy: many mothers
are doubtless afflicted when their sons
are called away to serve in the army,
but CONSUMPTION, when it is of prac-
tically universal application, loses most
of its terrors for them.

A correspondent of the New York
World who recently left Japan is re-
sponsible for a somewhat startling
guess regarding the danger to which
Japan is exposed by the development
of militarism. He says the army has
become everything In Japan; the civil
power nothing. He asserts: THE
world need not be surprised to see
Japan return to military shogunate
and the emperor reduced again to the
position of powerless religious fig
urehead." OF course, the problem Of
disbanding great army and returning
1t to the peaceful pursuits of civil life
always involves certain perils. But a
year and half OF war usually is
enough to make any army quite will
ing to take a rest. Pending further de-
veloprnents, it will be safe to believe
that the Worlds correspondent has
drawn very heavily on his Imagination.
Nor do the reports Of popular demon-
strations in Toxic on account of the
treaty afford sufficient justification for
such a depressing prediction.

REDMoND's POSITION.

Mr.. John Redmond came out the
present week in speech wherein he
declared that the Irish party and the
Irish people would not be satisfied
with any halfway measure at the
hands Of the present British govern
ment. Mr.. Redmond said that the
members of the present government
had with two or three exceptions, de-
clared that they would introduce next
year a bill dealing with Irish SELF gov
eminent. He said that he had recently
been informed that it was their In
tention now to grant only what they
called administrative Home Rule" He
announced to the Irish people that the
Irish party had no responsibility d.
rect or indirect. for this makeshift
Neither himself nor his colleagues had
been consulted on the measure and that
he wanted the government to under
stand that the Irish party would not
support any such measure.
The announcement of Mr.. Redmond
ought to be a complete answer to those
Irishmen who have been critictsing the
irish Parliamentary party. That party
stands today, as 1t has during all the
time of Mr.. Redmond's leadership, a
solid phalanx Of over eighty members,
stanchly, consistently and per-
sistently in favor OF complete home
rule for the Irish people. There is

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

AS the state campaign progresses 1t
becomes more and more evident that
the position which Governor johnson
occupies before the people is unassail-
able. The campaign this fall. In SO far
as the state is concerned, cannot be
very complicated. The only reason
that Republican partisans have for
urging A. L. Cole, the Republican can
didate, for governor, is that he is q
Republican. On that basis alone they
ask the voters Of this state to reject
Governor johnson and elect Mr.. Cole.
Will that appeal meet with SUCCESS :?
We do not think so. The people these
days are taking a deeper interest in
political affairs than merely asking
what emblem a candidate carries. The
issue in this state this fall is clear. II
Is John A. Johnson. with a splendid
record behind him, on one side against
A. l.. Cole, who received the Repub-
lican nomination simply because he
was the most available candidate with
which to defeat Mr.. jacobson. who was
the real choice Of a majority of the
delegates to the last Republican con-
vention. The corporate interests that
were afraid of Mr.. Jacobson nominated
Mr. Cole. Doubtless he looks to them
for his election. This is all there is to
the fight. The Republican candidate
hopes that the name Republican" will
carry him to success. II this were a
conflict between the two parties he
would be right. Governor johnson was
not elected two years ago by his own
party but by independent voters who
could let their partisanship sink out
of sight in their endeavor to secure a.
good public servant. 1t cannot be
successfully denied that Governor
johnson has met the highest expecta-
tons of his best friends. II he was
worthy of their votes two years ago
he is doubly worthy of them now. The
independent voters who elected him
two years ago will re-elect him this
year. AS it stands today Mr.. Cole is
the candidate of those who want him
governor simply that they may obtain
the appointive offices. The feeling is
abroad throughout this state that Gov
ernor Johnson should be reelected.
That feeling will increase as the days
90 by. A comparison Of the two can
dtdates upon the stump will only in
crease the belief that there is no COM
parison between the two men In ability
and fitness for the place.
