when the pallium was conferred upon
the late Archbishop williams.

A cablegram from Dublin says Ste
phen O'Neill, "a years old, walked fo,-
ty miles to answer a police court sum
mons at the Belfast Summons Court.
The charge against O'Neill is that of
driving farm cart on the wrong side
of the road at Belfast on Christmas
eve. O'Neill started from Ballygela,
near Portaferry, County Down, to walk
to Belfast. He arrived Friday morning
after walking a distance of almost for
ty miles. and had been hanging about
for three hours more until the court
opened. In court O'Neill said he was
only crossing the tram lines to give
the horse a drink at a watering trough
He was discharged, and the magis-
trates directed that something be given
him from the poor box to enable him
to pay his way back home. Constable
Burke took charge Of the old man, as
he seemed to be weak from hunger and
exhaustion, and procured refreshments
for him, afterwards seeing him to the
railway station and procuring him
ticket. There are few men in the Uni
ted States that would walk forty miles
to testify in a court, even if they were
prosecutors instead Of defendants.

Important Notice to Subscribers.

On and after April 1st, 1908. all per-
sons more than one year in arrears for
subscription to The Irish Standard will
be charged $3.50 per year for the
paper we are compelled to make this
change owing to the fact that the post
office department will not after the
above date send The Irish Standard or
any other paper to those who are thus
delinquent unless one cent stamp is
placed on every paper. If you are paid
up to April. 1907, you are all right. but
if you owe for longer period you arc
delinquent and your paper will have to
be stamped. which places an additional
burden of so cents per year upon this
Office. Hence the best way to do is
to pay up what is due at $500 per
year. Much as we value your patron
age we cannot, under the law. continue
sending the paper to delinquent
subscribers after the first of April next
without the extra SO cents per year,
SO the best thing to do is to send us
what is due This can be determined
by the label on your paper each week.
OF course many of our subscribers are
already paid up to April. 1908, and be-
yond. These are exempt and in nowise
affected by the new order of things.
The Irish Standard will be $500 per
year, as heretofore, except where the
subscriber is in arrears for year or
more. when the SO cents will be added
to meet the laws demand. Keep paid
up to date is our advice to all. Many
subscribers pay for their weekly Catho-
lie paper in advance. and it is good
practice. Your attention is kindly
called to the label.

The mayor of Minneapolis and some
or the aldermen are endeavoring to
engage the city in business by starting
municipal plants. Municipal owner
ship of the electric light plant comes a.
a first proposition, and a resolution has
been introduced in the council to take
the Necessary steps by negotiating ana
selling 100000 of municipal bonds to
be used for the purpose Of equipping
a suitable power house, etc. This may
be good move from a political stand
point, which we doubt, but 1t will not
be considered good business propo-
sition. OF course it won't be done in
a day or a week. and when it comes
to really considering it at all it might be
well to reflect some little time be-
fore launching into an enterprise that
may cost more in the end than the mere
extortion of private corporations. Many
educated and we'll meaning citizens
laugh at thesidea that municipal own
erahip of electric light and other
plants is but step towards Socialism,
but they will not have to investigate
very far to find there is some truth In
it. The covetousness of the human
race makes it menace to our present
form of government. Municipal own
ership sounds good, but is it?

Under the terms of the recent confer

M. Healy and all other members who
have in any way disassociated Them
selves from the Irish party arc once
more back in the harness with Mr..
Redmond, and now, as in the days of
Charles Stewart Parnell, there is again
all absolutely united parliamentary
party. All that is needed now Is a gen.
erous spirit of reconciliation amongst
all classes and sections Of Nationalists.
The disposition to let by-gones be by

friend of Ireland's cause, whatever may
have been his grievance during the
years of disscnsion and chickering's that
have only tended to cause rejoicing in
the hearts of his country's foes. AL
ready expressions of unbounded pleas
ure have gone out from various quar-
ters to Mcssrs. O'Brien and Healy for
the course they have taken and 1t will
be judged as an earnest of the SINGER
ity that characterizes their return. No

Michael Davitt, has been more faithful
to his country than William O'Brien,

not be charged with dishonesty or in

will be accorded them to the ranks. Let
us hope that every vcstige of discord
has now vanished. To cement the new
made union and make it permanent

asserted that a people who can legis-

and bcneticially, are incapable of leg

and strewing the land with the out
ragged bodies of Papist women and

ing the will of heaven with his infa-
nous deeds. THE moment the very
name of Ireland is mentioned" de-
clared Sidney Smith, an Englishman,
"the English seem to bid adieu to COM
mon sense, and act with the barbarity
of tyrants. and the ratuity Of idiots"
Dissemination, by encouragement of
emigration and denial of help in pc
riods of famine and want, have been
the past policies Of England in the gov
ernment, or rather misgovernment of
the Irish people. "The penal laws in
Ireland have defiled the very founda-
ton of justice in the popular imagin-
atfon." said Lord Houghton, "and rem
dercd the government of that docile
and honest nation, the most difficult
problem of our legislation, because
confidence between the law makers and
the people is weak and uncertain"
Here are statements that cannot be
controverted. Duped, cajoled. played
upon by one government after another,
the Irish people have just cause, in
deed. to lose faith in the British par
lament. Cabinet promises, utterly un-
worthy Of confidence, only add to the
distress, but the spirit of the Irish race
continues unbroken. An Irishman has
never yet been cowed by defeat; to the
contrary. it makes him more resolute
in his determination to succeed. This
characteristic Of the race will continue
to display itself. until self-government
shall again be restored.

ENTERING ON A NEW ERA.

1t will be Il matter Of the greatest
pleasure to 1rishmcn everywhere. and
to all lovers Of the cause Of ireland as
we'll, to learn that unity is again an
accomplished fact in the old land and
that the forces which have for many
years been divided are again to present
a solid front in their efforts for home
rule and the passage of such laws in
a general way as will further tend to
improve the condition OF her people.
There is much to be thankful for in the
present outlook. and in every loyal
heart will beat the hope that the last
has been seen of the chickering's, con-
tentions and jealousies which have dis
graced the politics of Ireland during
tho past fifteen years. To again face
England with a united people and Il
united party will be hailed with the
greatest degree Of satisfaction.
Coming at this time the reunion will
cause particular qualification. The
present government has shown it's
friendship in many ways and now there
is ground for hope in the passage of not
only an Irish university bill. but a
measure that will take the place Of the
rejected Council bill. If there was any
fear that the disunion for some time
past existing in the Irish national ranks
gave the Liberal party excuse for ig-
noring the sentiment of the Irish peo-
pie. thus postponing me fulfllment of

WHY BRYAN is POPULAR.

A writer in a recent issue Of the Chi
cago Daily News, charges, amongst
other things, that William j. Bryan Is
both dishonest and insincere. Only a
most bitter partizan would say this Of
Mr.. Bryan. After having been promi-
nently before the general public for
twelve years, during which time he has
met millions of his countrymen in ev-
cry part of the Union, it is the univer-
sal opinion that he is absolutely hon
est and perfectly sincere. This is the
estimate of both his friends and foes.
Going back over his political career,
beginning with the canvass of 1896,
when he first became the standard
bearer Of his party in a national con-
test, no man in the history of this ma
tion in the same length of time or in
any party, has won such large per-
sonal following as Mr.. Bryan. No more
loyal Democrat in the land than the
intrepid Nebraskan, yet there were
thousands upon thousands of men who
voted for him in 1896 and again in
1900 who were not members Of the
Democratic party. but who, neverthe-
less cast their ballots for him because
they believed in his sterling manhood
He is a Democrat, but that in itself has
given him no better standing than
many others equally prominent in his
party. Easy Of approach, a man of
rare abilities, honest, frank and can
did, 1t is such qualifications as these
that has given Mr.. Bryan such a hold
on the hearts of the American people,
Taken all in all he is an ADLER man than
President Roosevelt, is more consery-
ative and much less impulsive in his
nature. traits that arc certainly to his
advantage. Assailed, maligncd, Carl
catured beyond measure by his ene-
mics. without any show of resentment,
he has been ever ready through voice
and pen to Justify his position upon
any question in most upright and dig
nifted manner. With conditions entirely
changed from twelve and eight years
ago, with his own party practically a
unit for him now, William ]. Bryan, in
the event of his nomination, seems des-
tined to succeed Theodore Roosevelt to
the Presidency.

HOW FAITH is srIFLEp.

The claim is sometimes made, Justly
or unjustly, that the prelates and
priests Of the Church tolerate actions
in wealthy Catholics which they bit
terly denounce when the Offenders
happen to be poor. From all appear
ances this does not apply to st. Pat
rick's Cathedral, New York. It is only
recently that Rev. Father Francis H.
Wall delivered pointed sermon which
his hearers will have occasion to long
remember. Father Wall. in the course
of his remarks, roundly scored rich
families who are in the habit Of allow
Ing their social ambitions to interfere
with their religion. He said:
"There is a strong tendency among
mon to divorce business from religion.
1t seems to be taken for granted that a
man cannot be an eminent lawyer or
physician or successful business man
and at the same time an eminent and
practical Catholic. If such were the
case then the Redeemer of the world
was a visionary and the mission of His
Church an absurd hallucination. The
injunction Of the Founder Of our faith
that you cannot serve God and Man,
mon has no bearing whatever on the
question at issue.
1T is sad beyond all sadness to wit
ness the conduct of so many Of our
Catholic people who, having amassed
wealth, stihe the faith in their hearts
and in their unhealthy greed for social
prestige send their sons and daughters
to places of education where their
faith is jeopardized and their moral
character wrecked. Therefore. we have
the scandalous spectacle of the sons
and daughters of those who should be
Jealous members of the household of
faith filling the divorce courts, shock
ing the religious sensibilities of co.
religionists, bringing unmerited dis
honor upon the Church"

THE LIST is A LONG ONE.

The number of rulers in many coun-
tries who have been attacked by as
sassins during a period of a hundred
years is exceedingly large. From list
at hand it is found that some thirty
odd attempts have been made at assas-
sination, seventeen of these resulting
in death, or over one-falf the number.
The anarchist and fanatic have put the
liberal ruler on the same plane with
the dcspot. Both have been the vic
tins of these cowardly assassins. tho
latter escaping death more often than
the former. 1t was in May 1900 when
some one shot at George III. of Eng
land while the king was driving
through Hyde Park, London. He was
never captured. Two attempts were
made on the life of Napoleon, both of
which were unsuccessful. The first Of
and the second when he was emperor
In 1885 Joseph Marie Fieschi attacked
Louis Philippe Of France. The infer
nal machine he constructed for the
purpose was composed of twenty five
rifle barrels inserted in Il wooden stock

the attack escaped by a miracle. In
1862 Queen Isabella III. of Spain was
stabbed while on her way to church.
Later on. about a year following, King
Victor Emmanuel of Italy was attack
ed and In 1856 King Ferdinand of Ma
plies met with the same fate and abdi-
Gated his throne as a result. Napoleon
III. was attacked a number OF times,
but in each attempt upon his life he
escaped without injury. Some time
during the COS Prince Daniel of Mon
tcnegro and Prince Michael Of Servia
met death in this way, and it was in
1876 that Abdul Aziz, sultan of Tur-
key, was found dead in the palace gar
dens. Alfonzo, father Of the present
Spanish king, was shot at twice. but
escaped. Emperor William /. of Ger
many was twice attacked, but was
lucky enough to escape each time. In
1881 Alexander II. Of Russia was killed
by nihilists. Thirteen years later Pres
ident Carnot Of France was assassin
ated, having been stabbed to death by
Caesario Santo. In 1896 the Shah of
Persia was killed. Then followed the
Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who was
fatally stabbed. King Humbert of
Italy and King Alexander and his
queen of Servia are among the moro
recent assassinations. The last of
these awful crimes was committed on
Saturday, Feb. LIST, 1908. in the assas-
sination of King Carlos of Portugal and
Crown Prince Luiz Philippe. Included
III this long list, from our own country,
are Presidents Lincoln, Garfield and

Robert A. Smith, st. Paurs popular
Mayor. now eighty years Of age, has
spent forty-five years Of that time in
public Office, and isn't tired of it vet,
though he is booked to retire from the
political arena next May. so he says.
Here is the record of Mayor Smiths
public service: Two years as auditor
of Warwick county, Indiana, before
coming to st. Paul; three years as Sec
retary to Willis A German, territorial
governor, and territorial librarian;
twelve years as treasurer Of Ramsey
county: four years as alderman Of the
old Fourth ward; two years as repre-
sentative in the legislature; four years
as state senator; four years as post
master of st. Paul and fifteen years as
mayor Of st. Paul. The Mayor came
to st. Paul in 1853, and first ran for Of
flee in that city in 1856, when he was
elected county treasurer. He has gone
through nineteen campaigns as a cam
didate, and he has been defeated once.
in 1892. His eighteen successful cam
paigns may be summarized as follows:
Seven times elected as mayor of st.
Paul. six times elected treasurer of
Ramsey county, twice elected alderman
Of the old Fourth ward, once elected
representative in the legislature, and
once elected state senator. Can this
record be beaten anywhere in the land :?
Hardly. With his four score years
Mayor Smith is still a hearty man. He
is going to take needed rest for a
while, but this does not signify that lie
will not again be back in the game.
