short and may turn n trick next time.
The men are carded for ten rounds.
jim Tremble and Jack Browne have
also signed up for ten rounds. Browne
has made a good impression while in
Los Angeles, winning all three of his
matches. Tremble is certainly tough
customer and should give Browne the
go of his life.
That fast little San Franciscan, Jim
my Erwin. will hook up with Eddie
Meeny for ten rounds Here Is another
classy card Erwin Is a whrlwind,
while Meeney is clever to a degree.
Swanson of Jack O'Brien fame

of the messenger boy force. Swanson
has never appeared in a Los Angeles
ring. though he has been seen while
boxing with OBrien.
MtCUIcy mas dSNtu All WlllS 10 come
south and he may send him along with
some one. In the event of All not de-
string to be present Joe Smith and
Leonard Lauder will clash.
1t had first been arranged to have
the show January 2S, but in Difference
to the presence OF William Jennings
Bryan, who is to be in Los Angeles
on that date, the card will be staged
January 30.
Now that "Cyclone'' Thompson has
been stirring things up generally, Man
ager McCarey has in mind a match
for the mixing lightweight. Since
leaving Los Angeles Thompson has
knocked out three men and lost a
close decision to Highland. He may
have been playing in hard luck while
here. So far as gameness is concerned
no one has it on the Sycamore boy.
Without doubt he would be well
coined heartily. Jimmy Burns is look
ing for a match and few seem anxious
to take his game. Thompson is after
him and a possibility of the two being
matched is not improbable.

The True Voice shows that it has a
right conception of the French situa-
ton when ii says:
What France needs most is Cath
Ole party that is completely and open
ly in favor of the Republic. Any par
ty that is suspected of design to re-
store the monarchy can never win
success. No persecution of religious
orders. or REORGANIZATION of the ar
my, or promises of conflscation, can
induce a majority of the Frenchmen
to vote against the Republic. What
ever may be the plan of the clique that
is at present in power in France, the
form of government is not responsible
for it. Clearly the Republic is firmly
established and it would be wise for
the Catholic party to recognize this
fact. The Frenchmen are fair people,
but they are Republicans above all
else For the past thirty years they
have been so and they are likely to re-
main So"
This is the situation in a nutshell

bles and aristocrats who are always
schelning and talking about restoring
the Bourbons, their candidates will be
defeated, The French voters are
Catholic if they are anything but they
are not going to affiliate with the
Monarchists in order to vote for Cath
Ole candidates. 1t is hard to avoid
the conclusion that the clergy in
France are in a large measure respon-
sible for the present prosecutions. Had
they followed the advice of Leo XIII
and come out openly and strongly in
favor of the Republic they would have
destroyed the very eapon that is now
being used against them.

doubt: rioting is go much the habit
With the Belfast Orange inhabitants
that they have elevated il to a fine art,
says the Catholic Standard and Times.
But there is novel element in the
fact that while strike is the imlnedi-
ate cause of these riots-a strike of
dock laborers-the police (members of
the Royal Irish Consta bulary) have
also gone on strike. and so the British
army has been called on to put down
both the breakers CT the law and the
guardians of the law at the same time.
The consta bulary struck against being
called on to help the employers of labor
where to drive the teams they under
took to drive; they made the point
that when they protected them from
attack on the way their duty ended. To
this some of their officers objected, and
sought to make the men go beyond the
rules of the constabulary to help the
employers. The men thereupon struck,
and now the strike is in progress over
large part of the country. The
Royal Irish Constabulary are the main
stay of the garrison" and the evicting
landlords. If they at last turn against
these. the battle for Irish independence
is half won. for the constabulary
amounts to standing army.

CRIME IN IRELAND.

1t is often said by those who do not
know what they are talking about that
most OF our criminals come from the
foreign classes. 1t has been popular
in some quarters to charge the Irish
with more than their proportionate
share of this class Statistics gathered
by the federal government and by the
different states from penal institutions
show that just the contrary is the fact.
Most OF our criminals come from the
American born; very few from the
immigrant class. The sons of i'm
migrants contribute large share to
the criminal class. Ireland itself is
freer from crimes of violence than any
other country in the world. If it were
not for political criminals the jails of
Ireland would be empty. Speaking of
this subject the Irish World says:
In the criminal courts of Great
Britain and Ireland it is the custom
that the sheriff present the judge with
a pair of white gloves at every ses-
sion or assize at which there is no
crime on the calendar. that is; no
case or crime to be presented to the
court for trial. This is a very rare
occurrence. indeed it is hardly ever
heard of in Great Britain. but in Ire
land it is quite common. an event re-
ported from several parts of the coun-
try many times yearly. During the
present year the judges got white

LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE

The hardest lesson for human be-
ings to learn is that lesson which ,s
constantly before their eyes People
cannot or will not learn from the ex-
perience of others. The knowledge of
the present day is the sum total or
nearly so. of what the human race has
learned down through the ages. The
experience of people who have lived
before us is preserved in writings and
exemplified by the things we possess.
The discoveries OF others are pos
sessed and used by those of the pres
ent day as matter of fact The
human race as an aggregation makes
use of the experience of those who
have gone before but with each indi
vidual it is different He will not

only does he refuse to follow the adj
vice of those nearest to him. but he
refuses to be guided by what he sees
Duty or curiosity leads people to the

Bryan and the A. p. A,

| In the year 1890 1 was an editorial
writer on the Daily Omaha World
Herald. At that time the Republican
party had a majority in the state so
large that very little attention was
paid to the doings Of the Democrats,
writes Thomas H. Tibbles in Watson's
Jeffersonian Magazine.
| One morning there appeared a short
Associated Press dispatch saying that
the Democrats Of the First Congress

lawyer of Lincoln by the name of w. j.
Bryan for Congress.

1t was to be put into effect at Omaha.
which was then part of the First dis
trict. 1t was said that he was coming
to Omaha to address some ward meet

was. When was informed of the
plan. the informer was told that it

trick but resolved to attend the
First ward meeting and see how the
trick worked.
The contest between the parties at
that time was concerning the tariff,
but there were two state issues thrust
into it. A prohibition amendment to
the constitution was to be submitted,
and there was what was called the A.
P. A. movement, then at it's height.
The place where Mr.. Bryan spoke was
small hall connected with a saloon.
There was temporary bar put up at
the back of the hall where beer was
dispensed during the speech. The Re-
publicans had collected twenty-five or
thirty toughs, who were complacently
seated in one corner at the back of
the hall. Nearly every man there was
Cathoic. Mr.. Bryan had proceeded
but short time in discussing the
tariff when the leader Of the Repub-
lican toughs called out in a loud voice:
ooh, give US something we are inter-
ested in. How about the A. P. Az"
Then the whole crowd raised a ter
rife yell. calling out: How about the
A. P. Az"
Mr.. Bryan stood looking at that
hostile crowd until the yelling died
away in silence. Then he took a step
towards the crowd and said:
Gentlemen: I am a member of the
Presbyterian church, which attend
regularly every Sunday when am at
home. The liberty that 1 claim for
myself am willing to grant to every
other man and allow him to worship

The second reading in the House of
Lords Of the evicted Irish tenants bill
was the occasion of a dramatic Incl
dent. For the first time in a great
many years. the most hated of Irish
landlords Lord Clanricarde, made his
appearance in the House and made an
imprisoned attack upon the British
government for the repeated attempts
in recent years to settle the land ques-
ton. ~
Clanricarde is seventy five years of
age; little, dried up, ghost-like indi-
vidual. He was not expected and his
appearance surprised the Tories as
much as it did the representatives of
the government. He owns $4,000 acres
and has caused every English govern
ment in the last forty years a great
amount of trouble because of his stub
born and unyielding attitude toward
er landlords made reductions in rent
in order to make it possible for the
tenants to pay. Clanricarde refused to
do this and ais tenants were unable
to pay. After the years of famine
passed, he commenced proceedings
against the tenants to enforce pay
ment of back rent. Different govern
ments tried to persuade him to COM
promise. but he has steadily called
upon the forces Of the government to
furnish the force necessary to make
effective judgments of court. AS a
consequence he is hated almost as
much by the Conservatives as by the
Liberals. He showed by his attitude
and speech the other day the same old
uncompromising spirit. After deliv-
ering his virulent speech of hostility
for everything Irish he saved himself
