ST. PArRlck's DAY CARDS,

The anniversary of Ireland's patron
saint is drawing near, and steps are
being taken by the Ancient Order of
Hibernians in all parts of the United
States to wage var against the Of
fensive postal cards and favors which
flooded the country last year. The
members Of the Order in the North
west have already begun an aggressive
campaign against their sale and cir
culation and newsdealers and others
have been notified OF the fact. The
Lational organ OF the Order, in it's last
issue. refers to the matter as follows:
A favorite practice lately, on the
part of those who wish to belittle us
in the eyes of the public or unworthily
advertise some shady business, is the
sending of postal cards through the
mails that are libels on our nationality.
We have already thoroughly squelch-
ed the monstrous stage Irishman, and
in a great measure put a stop to UNI
seemly caricatures in prejudiced news
papers and magazines. and now we
should direct our efforts against the
insidious postal cards
AS 1t is against the law, of the United
States to use the mails in ridicule or
of private or public char

THE PARLIAMENTARY SITUATION

The British parliament last Monday
listened to King Edwards speech from
the throne. The royal address was IL
disappointment to the Irish National
lists, for it announced that the budget
would be put ahead OF proposals to
curb the power of tho lords. John E.
Redmond caused CONSERVATION among
the Liberals by declaring that the Irish
Nationalists would not support SUCH IL
program. On Tuesday the Nationalist
held a conference and agreed not to
speech. but leave the Liberals and
Conservatives to fight out their battles
during the present session without any
participation on the part of the Ma
tionalists.
The Irish party will permit the Lib
erals to paddle their own canoe and fall
back on the Laborites to pass the bud
get. The Conservatives will not offer
any resistance to It's passage, in order
to relieve the financial strain, and the
lords will pass it Immediately, although
as Lord Lansdowne declared. their
opinion with regard to it was I'M
changed.
The Nationalists are independent OF
all British parties. and though they
have 1t in their power to defeat the
Liberals at any time. they will give
them every chance before they GUST
them out. In his speech criticizing the
Kings speech. Arthur ]. Balfour. tho
Tory leader, truly said:
Il believe that the majority Of the
constituencies in Great Britain are pre-
pared to support the budget, but can It
be pretended that Ireland favors it?
If Ireland abstains from opposing the
budget it will be because the Irish
Home Rule override those of finance,
and hold that il the budget were iso-
lated from all other questions it would
be rejected. If the prime minister's
Home Rule declaration. made just be-
fore the election, had been taken seri-
ously in England as it was in Ireland,
the other questions would all have
been dwarfed."
The Nationalists do not expect home
rule from the Tories, but they had rea-
son to believe that Asquith meant what
he said in his Albert Hall speech. AS
Mr.. Redmond said in parliament: THE
Irish Nationalists had supported the
government at the election because the
prime minister's pledge Of home rule
was supplemented by one still more
important to Ireland-the abolition Of
the veto Of the house Of lords, which
was tantamount to the adoption of
home rule" 1t is not the first time
that British minister failed to keep
his pledge with the Irish. There is

The esteemed correspondent ut
Spokane, whose letter is published
elsewhere, speaks highly Of Mr.. James
Gilhooly, NJ. F.. for West Cork. Gil
hooly ran against Mr.. d. O'Leary. the
official candidate of the United Irish
League, and defeated him by 773 ma
jority in a constituency where 1881
votes were cast. Gilhooly, for some
reason, was opposed by the Redmond
ties, but he is good 1rishman and
his constituents stood by him nobly.
1t is to be hoped that dissension among
all Nationalist will cease and that
they march like a phalanx against the
enemy. That's all we care for.

A 0HOULIsH ATTACK,

Last week We published an article
from an Englishman who assailed
American tourists in vanity Fair" and
made appropriate comments thereon.
This week we shall pay our respects
to another Englishman who assails the
memory of noted American patriots
whose names are household words
throughout the United States. Tha
writer in VANITY Fair" concealed his
identity under nom de plume; but
the vilifier Of the great Americans who
are now no more has the courage to
give his name to the world.
In a new book entitled 1.-THE Loyal
lists of Massachusetts, and the Other
Side of the American Revolution" an
Englishman by the name Of James H.
Stark attacks the memory of Jo:ln
Hancock. John Adams. Benjamin
Franklin and Patrick Henry. 1t is
needless to say that Stark is not de-
generate descendant of the hero of Ben
nington who said, I'VE will whip the
English today. or Mollie Stark is
widow No. Stark is pure, unadul-
terated Britisher, who is full of rancor
against the American heroes of the
Revolution and says that some Of the
signers of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence were smugglers.
According to this veracious histo-
rian, the men who were conspicuous
in fighting the despotic laws Of George
III and in founding a republic on this
western continent were far from being
exemplary characters He says Han
cock was thief; Franklin, an embez-
zler: Adams, defaulter; and Henry,
liar. Members of the Ben Franklin
club in Minneapolis have come to the
rescue of the man who shed lustre on
the "art preventative" and deny that he
was ever guilty Of wrong doing. AS
the Englishman makes no specific al
legation against the honesty Of the
statesman and philosopher of undying
FAME, printers sh4uld apply to Him the
Short and ugly word" which he calls
Patrick Henry ahd let the matter rest
there. Calling a man an "embezzler"
does not make him so. Franklin had
the complete confidence Of his compa-
triots and contemporaries and filled
some of the highest offices in their gift
with the utmost satisfaction. The same
may be said of Adams, Hancock and
Henry. ''r'"Rs
This English historian may get some
of his own countrymen to believe what
he says of the four famous Americans
referred to- but we doubt if any Amer
lean who is acquainted with his coun-
try's history will believe for moment
that John Hancock, John Adams Ben
jafnin Franklin and Patrick Henry
were anything but grand patriots whose
names will live forever in the history
OF the republic. we venture to say
that 'stark's book will find BUT few
purchasers on this side of the Atlantic.

CONGRESSMAN NYE ON TAFT.

SSiNNu6So"StN nv e YIN ! AT !.
Hon. Frank M. Nye, who represents
this district In Congress, poses as an
"insurgent" when at home, but in
Washington he is inclined to be a
regular" of a dubious character. He
ought to be one thing or the other, in
stead Of trying to carry water on both
shoulders. Frank is what is known
as "a good fellow" but lacking back
bone. This is one Of the most i'm :.
portant congressional districts in the
country. and it requires man at the
own and is not easily swerved from
the path of duty.
The Irish Standard was recently
surprised to read in the Washington
dispatches a glowing eulogy of Tawney
by Senator Nelson-Tawney who is
the only representative of Minnesota
in Congress to vote for the Aldrich
tariff for the sake of Craftsmanship
from Joe Cannon. His constituents
will deal with Mr.. Tawney at the prop
err time. This journal has been more
than surprised-amaZed- find Mr.

intentions. We Judge man by his
acts. and we ask Frank Nye to tell the

his Country Why should Mr.. Nye in
dorse President Taft, and why is i.
"the duty Of all members of the Re
publican party to stand by him at this
time?" Has not Taft been tried and
found wanting?
The whole country, irrespective OF
party, looked to Taft for relief from
high tariff. That was the supreme
test OF Taft and he utterly failed to
come up to expectations. He claims
that the Aldrich abortion is the best
tariff bill ever passed and tries to
prove it by fallacious figures. The
country at large. outside Of small
section, knows it is the reverse. Is
Taft in favor Of any. measure for the
benefit Of the whole people: Men

prominent in the Republican party,

When approached for q second in
terview on the Fairbanks incident in
Rome, Archbishop Ireland said in
Washington that he had no more to
say. He declared that, contrary to
the words attributed to him in his first
interview, he did not so east to enter
into any discussion with the Method
ists The reporter who interviewed
him in Chicago made him say that he
was not yet too old for a fight. The
Archbishop does not pose as a glad
iator in controversy. though he can
strike sturdy blows. In past years he
used his great arsumentative powers
on small-fry preachers. and because of
noticing them they were promoted to
bishoprics. In 1875 he held discus
sion with the late Rev. e. D. Neill in
the Pioneer Press, but that gentleman
was a foeman worthy Of his steel. It
takes mighty big man to exchange
shots with his grace Of St. Paul, and
the whole world knows it.

CANNON SAYS
HE WILL NOT
Be THE GOAT

Washington, March 1S.-The al
lied Republican insurgents and
Democrats this afternoon turned
down three compromise propositions
submitted to them by the regulars.
The first proposition was that a
new rule committee be formed to
number 10 members and with no
prohibition against the speaker be-
ing a member of the committee.
The second was that the commit
tee should number l 5 with no prohi-
ton against the speaker acting on
the committee.
The third was that Cannon's sup
porters would accept the Norris
resolution providing the clause
aimed at the speaker be eliminated
On their part the insurgents sub
mitted compromise proposition
that the committee on rules be COM
posed of Is members and that the
speaker shall retire as a member of
the committee. They agree to take
the promise of Cannon that he
would retire and not to have that
provision written in the rules.
The matter was put up to Cannon
who refused to assent to the com
promise proposition, saying: THAT
is not compromise, and / will not
be the goat"
The speaker refused to accept the
advice of Dalzell of Pennsylvania
and Smith (Rep) of Iowa, not to
rule on the resolution and declared
that he would rule today and accept
the verdict of the house.
