mad race TO get rich quick the United States
citizens left politics almost entirely in the hands
OF the Irish bosses who unscrupulously used
the power thus left in their hands to serve their
own dirty ends The "Tammany Hall" ring was
one Of the agencies. Once every four years the
citizens awakened to politics, found matters cut
and dried for them by the political posses, and
when the fever Of the Presidential elections was
over they returned once more to the game OF
anneXing the almighty dollar"
Bit by bit the Romish irish tiahtoned their
grip on everything worth getting, they gained an
absolute mastery of the Press their we1l-0rga-
nized voting battaliOns decided the battle Of the
polls, and soon every native American who wanted
to represent his native country in this native
Congress or Senate found that he had first to rep
resent aliens in Ireland and their Americaniaed
friends and synlpathisers, Nor did the Irish gang
stop at that.
To this day, the Irish possess the greatest
political pull in the United States thanks to
their organization. which has been brought to the
highest standard Of perfection by the priests the
political bosses anu the drinking saloon keepers,
for as in ireland, the liquor traffic is almost
practically in the hands Of Roman Catholics. The
Romish Church through its agents exercise an
almost unbelievable power in the Press. Rome in
effect says-"6uppOrt Us and well support you
Such 2 bargain would be repuIsive to Protestant
feeling, which takes everything on its own merits
and judges it accordingly.
In every hole and corner Of the United States

TIE AMERICAN PRESS AND UPSTREAM
APPEAL TOE F7AIR PLAY

The anti-Ulster attitude of the United States
newspapers has long been proverbial. From
time to time have had TO yentilate in this letter
the grievances Of many Protestant correspondents
OF the u S. A. who had been refused access to the
columns of the newspapers serving the localities
in which they dwell, who had their conmuni-
cations SO cut down or altered that they were
almost unrecognsable when published in graud-
ing manner.
Why should this one-sided and most unfair
state Of affairs obtain in great Protestant COM
munity? 1t must be remembered that the United
States is one of the great Protestant nations Of
the world. The Roman Catholics number less
than 20 per cent, probably not much more than
Is per cent of the entire population.
Why, then, is the United States Press SO hos
tile to Protestant Ulster? The reason is q very
simple one. In the bad, old days when hatred Of
England was inculcated as an article Of political
faith in the United States, the English-hating
Roman Irish took full advantage Of that feeling
to still further embitter the relations between the
two countries, and only too successfully did they
carry out their projects
AS time wore On, owing to their increasing
numbers, particularly in such centres as New
York. Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg &c. they
grew to be a tremendous political power, and in
the course Of years practically the political power
Of the older parts Of the United States fell into
their hands, and then began the disgraceful his
tory of rings and graft" which brought many

A Fine Letter on the

prayer is that justice, and justice

without special consideration for

blacken her fair name to the world

In days gone by we used to lift melan-

About the sad discomforts Of a sultry

We sang about the house fly with it's
manners SO unneat
That hustled Ger the doormat and for

We sang about the ''skeet' abused in

For using poisoned needles to distribute
fever germs:
The locust with his strident cry. the
hornet with his sting
In sad sardonic strains each day invited
us to sing.
But when the skies are gloomy and it's

There comes a radiant picture of the
summers genial glow.
And il you saw a fly you might forbear
in wrath to rave
And merely seek to chide him and per-
suade him to behave.
You'd take a chance on insects with a

Just to see the flowers blossom and to

Public Officials and Praise

In the eulogies by his old Cleveland
friends and neighbors Mr. Herrick could
not recognize himself. He had been,
as he thought, too '1avishly praised. {"
He was willing to believe that he had
done good service at his post in Paris,
but not as good as described. Gallant

Mrs. Herrick. who. by all accounts. ac-
quilted herself in tho days Of stress at

But. extravagant a. some of those

that he has been ION the job" as he

edly. his audiences did. He is one of
the best of our public speakers.
Speaker Clark observed the same
rule. He remained at his post until
Congress adjourned. In great request
in the chautauqua field. he must have
made large money sacrifices in inter-
preting his official duties. He obeyed
the call of the House rather than that

Mr.. Clark to employ their leisure writ

newspapers, or writing books, there
would probably be no fault found with
them for adding to their incomes in
that way. They could do that withou,

He will be justified in thinking we'll
of himself. He made a record that will
long remain in public memory. If his
old townsmen put the case little
strongly and eloquently they obeyed a
fine instinct and followed well
relished custom.
Nearly every public man who strikes
the popular fancy has such an ex-
perience. Just now Mr.. Wilson is hav-
ing his.
He was described by some OF MS
friends a year ago as the best Presi-
dent since jackson. That displeased
the admirers of Mr. Cleveland. VINO
were unwilling to have him counted
out.
Then 1t was discovered that he was
the best President since Jefferson, ana
the friends of Jackson protested. Count
ing out Old Hickory was fiat heresy.
Then somebody counted out Mr.. Je1-
ferson, and could find no equal TO MT.

nomination time comes, and 1ormai
euIoeies are in order, somebody Is
certain to elevate Mr.. Wilson above all
his countrymen, dead or alive. and ask
,unnort for him on the score of that
lonely height.
Mr. Wilson cannot be Indifferent to
his friends, though he probably notes
their extravagances. Like Mr Herrich'
he doubts If he has done enough to en-
title him to the praise bestowed, 1alth-
fully as he has 1abored. and glad as ne

Economy.

In an editorial, entitled, "Wanted-a

What does the Democratic Congress
propose to do about the democratic
Presidents Injunction of economy In
the national expenditures"
Why. there is nothing to be done but
meet the situation. The government 8
needs are known, and the revenues sur
ficient to supply them. Should Con-
gress, for any reason. withhold any
portion of the money? Who would gain
by such a course? Not the country.
for economy for political purposes Is
always an evil-waste, indeed. Not the
democratic party. for cheeseparing. in
the long run, never wins votes.
Besides. the Presidents injunction
of economy" Is not a call for vigorous
use of the pruning knife. 1t is the
clearest and most incontestable feature
of his message He wants the govern
ment properly supported. and recog-
nizes its growth and great size He
advises against extravagance; and that
advice is easily taken.
The economy deliverance Of the Bal
timore platform and the campaign
speeches in support of 1t were the
merest partisan extravagances. They
have not been redeemed in legislation.
and could not be without heavy loss
to the government. A budget based
on campaign claptrap would sweep its
authors into derision and obscurity.
The reference to the late Mr.. Holman
of Indiana recalls a man Of ability and
high character who injured his full
usefulness as a public servant by con-
fining his activities in Congress to a
narrow field. Hailed as the Watchdog
of the Treasury" he played that role
and nothing else. He became obsessed
on the subject. He saw a LOB" in
every proposition for an appropriation.
and fought nearly all. He was the
most unpopular man in Congress. and
his prominent support of any measure
was deadly.
And yet. at bottom, he was human.
He had an eye for his own. When the

The National Defense.

Mr. Gardner is winning right along.
All that has been developed this week
m the subject of our martial estab-
lishment is due to him. But for the
agitation he inaugurated, the subject
of our unpreparedness for war might
not have been handled in other than
general and perfunctory way. The
country at large would have remained
unadvised of the real situation.
What we all know today is greatly
in excess of what we knew a week
ago. And it is both startling and dis
ouieting. That such a country as this.
with it's hundred million people. its
long coast line on two oceans, and its
overseas possessions. should, at time
when the most gigantic war ever
known is raging, be in the condition
we are is astounding. If attacked. we
should be next to helpless.
Congratulations are due to the Secre-
tary of War and the Secretary Of the
Navy for their frankness in dealing
with the subject. Mr.. Garrison's report
and the opinions he expresses are very
illuminating, while Mr.. Daniels on the
witness stand has answered many
searching questions so as to add ma
terially to the publics information.
Senator Weeks thinks there has been
too much publicity. Could that be? In
country like this, where the people
are the source of power, a good deal
of publicity about governmental af
fairs is essential. At the polls the
people instruct their representatives;
and unless they are we'll advised about
conditions they cannot express them
selves intelligently.
And of course when the American
public is advised, other publics are.
Other publics make it their business to
keep advised about us. As a nation,
we enter into their larger calculations.
and they into ours. We employ the
same means they do in the matter. We
try to learn as much about the details
of their fighting machines as they do
about ours: and We know lot.

Criticism Of this character has been
leveled at Mr.. Bryan. He, too. has been

somewhat unjustly. His case is not
