The so-called Portuguese republic
seems to be tottering to it's ruin. Dur
ing it's existence of a year and half
IT has shown that it has no apprecia-
ton nor regard for the true principles
of Republicanism. 1t started out with
of the overwhelming majority of the
Portuguese, and mas tried to make that
declaration good by the employment Of
coercive measures which no true re.
public would have adopted. A verit-
able reign of anti-Catholic persecution
ensued. Religious communities were
broken up and men and women whose
lives had been consecrated to lofty
Christian ideals were treated as GRIM
inals. Many of them were imprisoned,
while others were condemned to exile.
Anti-Catholic laws Of the most strin-
gent character were enacted, laws
which openly were aimed at Gripping
the Church in her divine mission. Re-
monstrance on the part of bishops
brought down upon them the heavy
hand of the law. The Portuguese
Hierarchy, clergy and laity were bid
den to submit 70 these outrages in ST.
lence. Refusal to comply with this
order entailed swift punishment.
Nation Debauched BY Corruption.
Whilst drastic measures against the
Catholic Church were enforced ruth
lessly, the civil life of the nation was
debauched by corruption in every
form, with the result that the so.
called republic has become a libel up
on Republican institutions. The depth
Of degradation to which it has sunk
is thus described in a dispatch to the
New York Times: 1.-THE republic Of
Portugal is fast earning a reputation
for ineptitude, jobbery and corruption
that is continually raising the hopes
of the supporters of the old regime
that the day is coming when the cour-
try will turn again to the young mon
arch whom it expelled"
The spirit animating the atheistic
demagogues who are bringing their
country to the very brink of ruin is
exposed in reports of the manner OF
treating political prisoners which ap-
pear in the English press. The Lon
don Post, for instance, supplements an
account of their physical hardsh!ps
with this statement: THE religious
belief of the prisoners is never re-
spected. Neither priests nor prisoners
are allowed to hear Mass. One cap
tive writing to mis- brother used the
expression 4 am we'll in health, thank
Cod The inspecting officer informed
him that although 1t would be allowe,

lous to keep the lead as their oppon.
ents were to GUST them. Both parties
insisted on all voters exercising their
rights at the polls. The result was a
record vote of nearly $4,000, of which
the non-partisan candidate received a.
fair majority.
Milwaukee, which was the first
large city in this country to elect
a Socialist mayor, has thus shown it.
self dissatisfied with a Socialist ad-
ministration. The Socialist defeat In
that city now is even more significant
than the victory of two years ago.
1t shows that the Socialist party is in
capable of fulfilling their claims. 1t
is an indication that Socialism put
to the test is found wanting.
1t is only within the past few years
that Socialism has been taken seri-
ously. Most of the party's victories
have been, won by the failure of the
people to analyze their doctrines.
When they have won it has been
largely because the people wished to
rebuke the old parties. At no time
did the majority of the voters in Mil
waukee believe in Socialism. The
victory of two years ago was due to
a splitting up of the votes in a three
cornered fight
With the Socialists thrown out of
power in Milwaukee, they lose much
of their prestige in the United States.
If the new mayor gives the city an
effective administration Socialism in
that city will soon go into decay.
And so throughout the United States.
IT the present form OF government is
administered by competent, honest
and efficient men Socialism will per-
ish from lack OF support. The So
cialist party is not founded on any
real need. 1t exists because the 9TH
er parties have failed in their duties,

pened when this order became known
to the rest of the political prisoners
recalls scenes enacted by the early
Christian martyrs when they refused
to apostatize by offering incense t,
Jupiter. We quote from the London
Posts account: 1.-The spirit of these
unfortunates has not, however, been
altogether crushed, for when this or
der was made known, the hymn "Quae.

Ii crushing indictment of the libel

termination to de-Christianize Portu-
gal, and in carrying out that program
they trampled ruthlessly under foot
all that in other lands is hedged round

Famous Irish Historian

3SS9SSS3SSS9939 3Ss3SS3SSSE3W
under which his cOuntrymen were
then laboring. Having Travelled through
countries where faith was triumphant,
where men were not hanged and quar-
tered for worshipping God, where Ii
cense was not given to a libertine SOL
diery to satiate their base appetites
in defenceless villages, he must have
contemplated in bitterness of heart
the melancholy scenes that poor Ire
land then presented to his view. We
next find him in Paris, attached to one
OF its churches, and actively engaged
in the duties of his ministry.
At this time his historical labors
seem t have commenced. It was
time when exiled Irishmen displayed
to the world their valour, their piety,
and their prowess. In these days
France numbered among her armies
corps which none dared deny to be
the flower of chivalry, the savior OF
France, and the terror of England.
That corps is known in history as the
Irish Brigade, and the Able Mac
more good by devoting his time and
Geoghegan was it's chaplain. The Mac
Geoghegans belong to the race of Fla
cha, son of Niall-Noygjallach, who was
monarch of Ireland and lived in the
fourth century. Hinel-Fiacha, signify
ing the children or race of Fiacha, is
an extensive territory in Westmeath,
which includes, besides the barony of
Moycashel, part of those of Rathcon-
rath, Mullingar and Fertullach. This
territory was divided into severa!
fields, and belonged since the fifth cen
fury to the different branches of the
Heterogeneous.
The chief of this tribe was Mac
Geoghegan of Mtycashel. The fefs
belonging to the different branches
are Donore, Castletown, Sionan, New
Louhertan, Ballysomnine, and Coulte-
tor. The last time that MatGeoghe-
gan drove to Mullingar in a coach
drawn by horses, Protestant de.
manded possession of the four
chargers, and was about to hand over
the legal value, which was G5 apiece,
when the indignant owner shot him
on the spot. Ever afterwards, when he
went the same journey, his coach was
drawn by four bullocks. The Mac.
Geoghegans, like other Irish families,
have been robbed Of their estates, and
are now mparatively poor. The Able
MacGeoghegan's death was caused by
fever, contracted in the discharge of
his religious functions. His remains
were inferred in Paris, and a simple
slab was erected over them to honor
and perpetuate his memory.

$sFather Phelan. editor of the Vest
ern Watchman of. ST. Louis, Is re-
sponsible for this facetious remark:
The preachers in this city last week
admitted that their churches were no
longer vital force in the community.
We told them many. many years ago
that the moment they stopped making
war on the Catholic Church they
%w0uld hose all their influence. And
Catholics are not quite as good az
when they had an enemy to fight.

The Possibility Of Non-Partisan
Ticket for Mayor Being Discussed.

Ticket for Mayor Being Discussed.
Thomas P. bwyer has filed for the
Democratic nomination for congress.
The "boilermaker" has lost the cleo
ton twice to Frank Nye, the first
time by 1000 votes and the second
by 1890. The Democrats have many
available candidates, one or more of
whom will doubtless file. Mr.. Dwy-
er is a strong contender for Demo-
cratic votes at the primary election,
and the Democrat who can defeat
him for the nomination will stand an
excellent chance of election in Nov
ember. The big increase in Mr..
Dryers vote in his second campaign
revealed his growing strength with
the masses.
The Irish Standard is pleased TO
note the fact that Michael C. Brady,
attorney at law, is making a record

Emil Seidel, Socialist mayor of
Milwaukee, polled $4,000 votes for re-
election last Tuesday but was defeat
ed by DR.. G. A. Bading, nom partisan,
whose majority exceeds 11,OOO. The
size of the Socialist vote indicated
what may happen in Minneapolis next
November unless the opposition par
ties present a united front with a
non-partisan ticket. Probate Judge
Geo. r. Smith is being talked Of for
Mayor. He has announced that under
no circumstances will he again enter
the race for Judge of Probate and it
Is not certain that he could be in
duced to heal a non-partisan city
ticket. The Irish Standard is of the
opinion that with Judge Smith In the
race for Mayor there would be no
doubt of the success of the non-par-
tisan movement. Though Repub-

liam E. Bates is being urged to run

Smith stick to his determination to
retire. Mr.. Bates has fine qualiflca-
lions for the office and for the well
fare of Hennepin county. The Irish
Standard would be pleased to see him
succeed Judge Smith, whose record
he would strive to equal.
