World 10 Sick and Tired of Irish Fac.

ssS''0 - SISN anu IT9O OF 60s
tionaiisn,.
Surely we cannot reach the goa. Of
our ambition by cutting each others
threats, recently said the Chicago citi :.
zen. There are some Irishn,en who
think they fail in doing their Whole
duty if they do not assail the charac-
ter, the motives and the capacity of
John Redmond in the interests IT Sim
Fem. We have seen, on the other
hand. most regrettable attacks by
friends of John Redmond on the char
acter, motives and capacity Of some Of
the leaders of the Sim Fein party.
They may err, according to our no.
tions; John Redmond may be pursu-
ing wrong policy, from the stand
point Of Sim Fem; but surely that is
no reason why all these men should
be pilloried as enemies of their coun-
try. If these men of both parties are
lacking in character, in motives, and in
capacity where are the Irish people
to look for leaders? An American
may espouse the cause of Ireland in
a dispute with an Englishman. He
may praise John Redmond. The Eng
lishman will produce the published let
tiers and editorials of Sim Fem advo-
Gates, and prove that Redmond has no
Irish following. The American will
then refer to Edward Martyr, Sir
Thomas Esn1onde, John Sweetman and
ether Sim Fein leaders, and ,in1me-
diately the Englishman dives down
into his pocket and produces Irish Ma
t}onalist papers proclaiming these gen.
tlemen to be anything but what they
ought to be. The American can have
nothing more to say: but the English
man will drive home his last bolt-"My
dear sir. you can see now that if His
Majesty's government did not inter-
fere the Irish would be flying at each
others threats like the Cubans." The
American would walk away witli the
remark that 1T looks that way"
1t does look that way, and the sooner
Irishmen recognize this fact the bet
ter. The world is sick and tired of
Irish factionism. The conviction is
growing that dependence on England
Is necessary to save US from ourselves
II is time to stop this factionisE. l.
Ireland does not do it, England will do
So by wiping out all factions The
Irish must once and for all time adopt
and. stand by the American principle
Ct majority rule. Whatever policy the
representatives Of the Irish people may
adopt in convention assembled should
be accepted as the policy Of the ma
ton, and all dissenters from that pei
icy should periodically make the mo-
tion unanimous. Discussion should be
confined to the floor of the national
convention. After that whatever pol
icy should be adopted should be car
ried out by united people. This may
be narrow way of doing things. but
the success Of the Irish national cause
demands it. If the Irish are unable to
conquer and restrain themselves, they
can never hope to defeat their enc
mics.

back into the fold, Bishop Rhodes ap-
peal is expected to have convincing
effect upon the rank and flle Of the
independents.
Mgr. Boft, it is understood. informed
Kolaszewski that he had no authority
to decide to grave case and referred
the question to Rome. The constant
cwindling Of the Independent parish
and its financial straits are thought to
have inclined Kolaszewski. a suppliant
to the Church Of Rome for the second
time. His first request for forgiveness
was made in December, 1897, when he
was i'll. Later he Withdrew it. He
has been laborins under an excommu-
nication for fifteen years.
Several thousand took part in the
ceremonies incident to Bishop Rhodes
visit to st. Stanislaus last night. The
urged the people to return to see what
disposition was made of their leader.
Father Kolaszewskrs schism is the
most famous in the history Of the
Cleveland diocese. 1t took place in
the early days of the late Bishop
Horstmann's episcopacy. When Kol-
aszewski was threatened with removal
from the pastorate of st. Stanislaus
for acts which displeased the bishop
he revoited and formed an independent
church. called the Church of the I'M
maculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin
Mary. At hrst the new congregation
held its own, but recently with the
advanced years Of its leader it lost
ground. Within a month a large part
Of the church property was attached
by constable.

America, viz. thorough training in a

ingly. the Sacred Heart parochial

FELL FROM ENGINE CAB
FIREMAN FALLS OUT OF CAB
WHILE TRAIN Is
RUNNING.

While the northbound Trinity and
Brazos Valley passenger train was
coming into the city Tuesday night
at a speed of about twelve miles an
hour G.. 0. Bonner, the fireman, fell
from the cab and was badly hurt
The accident occurred near the sec
tion house and the fireman was not
missed until the train reached the
depot. The train was backed down
the track until the injured man was
found. He was picked up and
brought to the depot, where he re-
ceiyed medical attention. Wednes-
day morning he was sent to the hos
pital at Fort Worth.
Bohner explained that he fell from
the cab while operating the shaker
to the firebox. The lever did not
| work easily and when the fireman
threw his entire weight against it a
bolt gave way and he was hurled
backward through the gangway of
the cab landing on his head on the
dump. He was stunned for awhile
but soon recovered consciousness. No
bones were broken but a number of
painful bruises We're sustained. The
slow speed of the train is probably
the only thing that kept him from
being killed outright.

ANTI-BAILEY STATEMENT.
Ellis County Headquarters Is Well
Pleased Over Condition.


The anti-Bailey people are not
claiming the earth. Boosting before
hand does not change the figures af-
ter the votes are cast. We are pur-
suing the even tenor of our way and
are going to carry all the boxes We
can. 1t will be noticed that after the
Bailey meeting at Fort Worth the
claim was loudly made that he would
carry the state by l00,0 900 majority.
Now, the chairman of his state cam
paign committee says that with fa-
Vorable conditions on May 2, Bal
ley's majority will be at least So
600. When the campaign opened.
Bailey's friend in Ellis claimed
the county by 10 to l. Afterward the
figures were reduced by them to 5
to /, and again to 2 to l. At this
rate of reduction, how will the vote
stand on the I'd day of May? Their
figures need revising again. All we
ask our friends to do, in every part
of the county, is to keep at work,
and the verdict, so far as Ellis coun-
ty is concerned, will be that a pub
lie official cannot accept large sums
of money from our enemies, either
as fees, loans, or gifts, and still re
main true to the people. That's the
question and the only question.
Stick to the text, and make the op-
position do the same. We are not
at all uneasy about the result in the
county. We have reliable figures
from every voting precinct in the
county which our friends can see by
calling at our headquarters.

GUILTY OF MURDER AT
CORSICANA.
SLEW THEIR EMPLOYER
Case Had Gone to Trial When De-
PENDANTS Suddenly Withdrew
Pleas of Not Guilty
Body in Creek.

Corsicana, Texas, April 22.-Con-
siderable surprise was created in the
district court here Monday night
when Jim and Lee Wilson pleaded
guilty in the murder of W. w. Petit
soon after the night session was
opened. and only a short while af-
ter a jury had been completed to try
them Immediately upon the opening
of the night session of the court w.
U. Taylor, attorney for the defend
ants, addressed the court and jury in
short speech in which he pleaded
for mercy for the accused, and the
Wilson's Immediately pleaded guilty.
The jury was out only short while
and returned verdict of guilty, as
sessing each of the accused ninety
nine years in the penitentiary.
During the first week in Noyem-
ber, last, w. w. Petit, whose home
was in Cleburne, where he lived with
his wife and two children, came to
Navarro county in wagon in which
he had the apparatus for a moving
picture show. Petit had known the
Wilson boys in Bell county, where
he and the Wilson's formerly lived.
Upon arriving here he engaged them
to go with him through the county
and assist him in giving his exhibi-
tions. On the night of Nov s, last,
Petit and the Wilson's gave an ex-
hibition at Roane, nine miles north
east of here. The next day the Will
sons appeared in Corsicana with
Pettit's wagon and team and show
apparatus. Soon afterward they ira
ded the wagon and team and show
outfit for a beer joint in the eastern
part of town, claiming to have
| bought it from Petit Early in Jan
uary, last, the fleshless trunk of a
man was found in a hole in Cham
bers creek by some boys. The legs
| had been cut Off near the body The
remains were inferred on the coun-
| ty farm and were later exhumed and
the identity of the dead man was es-
! tablished by his wife and brother by
the teeth. The Wilson's were arrested
and Jailed and string of circum-
stantial evidence was coiled about
them by the officers that could not
be overcome, and their plea of gull

BRYAN IN BAY STATE.
State Convention to Instruct for the
NebraSkan.

Boston, April 22.-Although
there are contests in only six of the
twenty-five Boston wards at the
democratic caucuses today, it is evil
dent from the indications that Geo.
F. Williams and his wing of the
democracy will make a determined
attempt to capture the democratic
state convention and send a pledged
delegation to Denver for Bryan.
In large majority of the wards
the candidates for delegates to the
state convention and to the fourteen
congressional district conventions
are not pledged to anyone, but it is
generally understood that they will
be for Bryan. Ward Sixteen is the
only one in the city that is even fa-
vorable to the nomination of Cover
nor Johnson of Minnesota.
Similar conditions are reported
from other sections of the state and
it is likely that the Nebraskan will
secure large majority of the dele
gates from Massachusetts. The state
convention will be held in Boston on
May 10.

SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST NEWS
PAPERS TO ENJOIN CIRCU-
LATION IN STATE.
CONSTRUCTION OF ADS
Advertising Liquor for Interstate
Shipment Not in Violation of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Papers Involved.

Guthrie. Okla, April 22.-Attor-
ney General West yesterday brought
suit in the district court of Logan
county against the publishers of the
Fort Worth Record, Dallas News,
Kansas City Journal, ST. Louis Globe
Democrat and ST. Louis Republic to
enjoin them from circulating within
the state advertisements of liquor
firms in alleged violation of the pro-
vision of the constitution which pro-
hibits such advertising. All of the
firms advertising liquor for sale and
the two local news stands which cir
culate the papers are also made de-
PENDANTS in the suit. A similar suit
was brought some days ago against
the Guthrie State Capital at Cover
nor Haskell's request, after the at
torney general had held that adver-
tisements of liquor for interstate
shipment were not in violation of
the constitution. 1t is claimed, how
ever, that many of the advertise
ments in the outside papers circulat-
ed in the state cannot be so con-
strued. The constitution provides a
penalty for anyone who shall with
in this state advertise for sale or
solicit the purchase of any such Ii
Quors
Attorney General West stated that
If these suits were successful, Col
lier's Weekly, Life and other Eastern
publications would also be barred
from the state unless they cut out
their liquor advertisements.
