THE IRISH STAITDAED.
The marvellous success of THK Iitisn
8TANL«U
HAS
been a surprise to a large
number of Irish people in the North
west. and to none more than oursolves.
It is not yet a year since the paper (then
the Northwestern Standard) was started.
We need scarcely remark that it. was
•with mingled feelings of doubt and
.hope that we entered t.he. field as an ex
ponent of Irish thought aud opinion in
rmr own humble way. For months we
Yonv1 it- uphill work, but a few friends
.gave us encouragement—we persevered
and we nr« now in a position to state
that there is scarcely weekly paper in
the Northwest enjoying as liberal a pat
ronage as TUK IUISFI
S'I.'.VN'RIA.B'D.
.From
lime to time we have added new features
to it, but we have not yet achieved the
object of our ambition. We contem
plate improving every succeeding issue in
every department in to far as the sup
port we receive will permit. While a
large
portiou
of our space shall be de­
voted to Irish affairs, yet everything
•transpiring in connection with the
Catholic Church, will be recorded at the
earliest possible date.
If our business increases iu the same,
ratio the next, six mouths as it has irj the
past six, we can assure our Irish friends
fiat they wiil have a weekly paper to
represent litem second Io none iu the
^Northwest.
Let every Irishman who is now a sub
scriber to THK Inisn STANDARD show his
paper
to his nearest Irish neigh­
bor. and endeavor to induce him
to subscribe. By doing this you will
jnaieriidly assist us iu improving tiit'
paper. We do not want to become
"blo.itod capitalists," but. desire to
make respectable living., and at the
same
f.:hne
give the Irish people a paper
that will represent their interests fear
lessly and indepoud iutly. Nor yet do
ve want it understood that- we are beg
ging anybody's aid. We propose to
give every person who subscribes for
THE IKISH STANDARD the worth of their
money.
There are thousands of Irishmen in
the Northwest who are not aware that
there is a paper of the description of
THK IRISH STANDARD iu their midst. It
is, therefore, desirable that our friends
should not miss an opportunity of
'shouting the joyful tidings." We ex
pect that iu the course of auother year
our subscription list will be at least
treble what it is now. A fair field and
no favors,'' is all we ask.
Mr. J. J. Kearus is the authorized
agent of THE IKISH STATDAI

thoroughly reliable gentleman, and we
bespeak for him generous treatment at
the hands of our Irish friends.
THE CAMPAIGN
From every parr, of the State come
tidings which poiut to a great victory
for the Democratic party in the Novem

otherwise The State ticket is com
posed of men with records accord
with true Democratic doctrine, satisfac
tory to the masses uf the workingmen,
upon a platform demanding immediate
legislation tor the benefit of the laboring
man, and should receive the cordial sup
port of the people. This is why it is
that each hour the ticket is winning aew
admirers and many votes.
Each uominee has a record that- will
stand the closest investigation. Every
man ou the ticket is democratic to the
core, au.l their past careers have been,
in word and deed, truly democratic it)

As is customary with the opposition
press,

ANY
grounds
for attack, it has degenerated into low

All elements have been united under a
common banner, and ohe ivut 1 now
on to a triumphant victory.
WHY IRELAND DESPISES ENGLAND.
It is often remarked by Englishmen
that ie frirth people have no grounds
for disli ung their English rulers. This
assertion is ridicukuts iu tlie extreme.
What has been the attitude assumed by
England towards Ireland since the in
vasion of the latter country by Henry
II. Since that time up to the present
Ireland has been governed for the bene
fit of England. The people were robbed
of their lands, and driven back to the
mountains and the morasses. Irish
manufactures have been systematically
destroyed until now their scarcely re
mains a manufacturing industry worth
speaking of. Aud when the religious
ditlerenees arose, the atrocious penal
code was enacted which imposed the
mrfjt, savage penalties on ail who dared
to practice the old religion, and left the
Irish people no rights in their own 1
»nd
but that of paying taxes. IIow was the
act of Umou, winch Mr. GladPtoue calls

THE C00PEES' SIEtEE.
Minneapolis has been remarkably free
from strikes so far, but it would appear
that this week was ushered iu by several
large ones. The strike of the journey
men coopers now in progress is without
doubt, a justifiable one. These men
have been forced to eke oat a miserable
existence on a bare pittiauce during the
summer and ail they ask for is merely
enough to enable them to keep body and
soul together. The manufacturers have
cut down prices to such an extent that
iu no instance can a cooper make more
than §10 per week. The competition
between the thirteen shops employing
over seven hundred man has been too
brisk to be safe. Machinery has been
put iii all the large shops to enable them
to make more irrela than their neigh
bors. In bidding for the work of the
mills the shops have cut prices co an ex
tent that can be understood iu that a
contract was recently let by a certain
mill for barrels at 32 c.mts, the bare cost
of making of which is 35 cents, or 3
cents more than the selliug prise. A re
duction in the price of wages has been
the inevitable result, and at most of the
shops 10 or 11 cents for haud-mado bar
rels is the resultv As a good cooper
makes about fifteen barrels a day on the
average it will be seen that' most of the
coopers make only about $10 a week
while working steadily, and there have
been any number of shut-downs, so that
coopers with families can scaicely make
enough to live on. All the journeymen
coopers ask is 1G cents per barrel, which
would enable them to earn about 314-50
per week. This is certainly a modest
request, and one that should be readily
acceded to.
Every person living Miunenpol
knows that a man with a family to sup.
port, and do ?o respectably, cannot
make both ends meet on much less than
815 a week. When employers learn
that there is something more to be con
sidered than how to do a large business
at the expense of their employes, tin n,
and not till then, will we have immunity
from strikes.
OUGHT THEY DISCUSS POLITICS.
An impediment, says the Catholic
Columbian, in the way of Catholic pa
pers using their influence in politics is
that the public may identif them with
the Church at large or with the eccle
siastical authorities of the diocese in
which they are published, aud consider

he Church or its Bishops responsible
for what our papers contain.

THE IRISH STANDARD: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1886.
Now this is a paril that cannot be fcol-
leads e,rated, for the ithoiic Church as an
I rganizalion does not intevtero in Ameri
can political concerns, aud oar prelates
do uot le .d their weight of ^hhe official
position to any party. Therefore they
must not be involved iu the right or
wrong discussiou of matters, from which
they of set purpose withdraw. As a rub,
our clergymen steer clear of politics.
For instance, the last pleuary council of
Baltimore was postponed bevond the
date first considered, lest wise-acres
should imagine its members were about
to attampt to exert any inline-nee on the
then pending el ctions. So scrnpalotis
are our prelates and pri?sts to avo'd
even the shadow of a suspicion of both
ering about temporal concerns! As pri
vate persons, it is their right to be in
terested iu the aifairs of the common
wealth and to fulfill the obligations of
citizens aud, while it is probable that
most of them do not usually go to the
polls, it is true that some of them act ou
the conviction that it is the duty of all
who have the franchise to cast their bal-
[jr how ehpy shsJ1
ueither d) lan tl,o
paper union, carried? By bribery an I
corruption of the backest type. A re
baliion was fomented to prepare the
way and Pitt sent a million and a half
pounds sterling to be employed in bri
bery. In Ireland he found men of the
Casfclereagh stripe, who were ready aud
willing to perform any dirty work he re
quired at their hands,' Some were
bought out body and bones by promises
of lucrative offices, aud others were
made peers of the realm. The act of
Union was carried by a Parliament com
posed exclusively of Protestants, and iu
which the majority of the people were
not represented. It was forced down
the throats of the Irish people, but,
thank the Lord, it never reached their
hearts, and from that day to this a Ne
mesis has been on the track of the
wrongdoers. Glancing back over those
long cruel years we fail to see a redeem
ing feature in the treatment Ireland has
received from England. For over 700
years 'it has always been Lhe same.
England invariably considers her own
selfish interests first, and she has never
shown the same spirit towards Ireland
that she has towards her other de
pendeiicies. Can any honest Englishmen
l.ok at the case ra its true light and ask
why Ireland hates England. We admit,
and we are proud to be able to do so,
that the Irish, people never submitted'
patiently to the wrongs iu flic ted upon
them. During all these years they have
unceasingly endeavored to shake off the
oppression, but as often have they been
beaten d.wu. But tlie end is near at TEG OKPHANS FAIE
liand. The Catholic Orphans' Fair closed on

policy of Catlic-
lie newspapers in respect to the course
they shall pursue towards public men
and measures. Our journals stand on
their own merits and alone are respon
sible for their statements. But while
the outside world is not fully persuaded
of this truth, Catholic publications are
hampered in the discharge of their full
duty to their readers. Protestant papers
encounter no such difficulty. They
have no hesitation in siding with this
party or supporting that candidate.
They discuss current questions and
enter into the life of their subscribers.
They mould opinion and disseminate
their principles iu the activities of the
nation. But they have to fear no mis
conception that a Church is back of
their articles. No one falls iuto that
error, or. if so, it is not regarded a3 a
sort of degradation for a Protestant
ecclesiastical organization to be looking
after the fleshpots, as when the Metho
dists
endorsed" Grant, aud no!
outrry was made. Yet Catholic
papers ought to discuss living topics
and, safeguarding the neutrality of the
Church, bring all the .influence they can
exert towards the election of trustworthy
public servauts and the enactment of
just laws The peeple are willing to lis
:n to correct political principles, and
among these are honor and truth and
justice and obedience to constituted
authorities—aud what are these but re
ligious commandments?

Taking into consideration the many ob
stacles the management had to contend
with, it must be admitted that they en
gineered the project to a very prosper
ous climax. During the Fair's progress
THE IRISH STANDARD assisted in the
publication of The Orphans' Friend, a
little daily whose merits are best knowu
to it readers. Without wishing to flatter
our many friends and supporters, THE
STANDARD desires to return its thanks
for the many acts of kindness shown its
representatives each day and evening
while in quest of items for the orphans'
journal. It helped in no small measure
to lighten the burden and lessen the
work of all concerned.
L0ED RANDOLPH'S POLICY.
The publication by the London Daily
News of a Hom= Rule bill, with the as
sertion that the measure has been pre
pared by the Cabinet, has caused a de
cided
sensation-in unofficial circles in
London. Coming so soon after Lord
Randolph Churchill's remarkable speech
at Dartford, which seemed to carry him
to the very gates of the Liberal camp,
this proposed adoption by the Conser
vatives of a broad Home Rule bill is
eagerly accepted by many who are
anxious that the question of self-gov
ernment for Ireland is approaching a.
satisfactory climax. The London
Times, the leading unionist organ,
states in effect that any government
scheme dealing with an extension of
local self-government in Ireland will,
with the exception of slight geographi
cal and other details arising from dif
ferences in national habits and estab
lished usages, be identical with such
extension in England and Scotland. In
other words, the Tories are going to
give the long-promised and often post
poned reform and expansion of muni
cipal and parochial institutions in
Eugluiid and Wales that have so many
years been one of the chief battle-cries
of the Liberals, and these are to be ap
plied, with local adaptations, to the
kingdoms of Scotland and Ireland.
There is not to be Home Rule through
provincial chambers, but continued
bureaucratic rule through an extension
of parish pump authorities in
the counties. The other London
papers generally discredit the Daily
News1 version of the scheme. Thomas
Power C'Connor, telegraphing from
London, savs "It is widely believed,
however, to give a shadowy outline of
the understanding arrived at by Cham
berlain aud Churchill before the latter
left town. A comparison of the
speeches of both men shows that they
If the Tory government makes the
concessions as slated in the News,
•there is a prospect of the immediate set
tlement of the Irish troubles, but if
they go no further than the policy
shadowed by Lord Randolph in his
Dartford speech, they might as well do
nothing. Ireland wants a national
Parliament and that she must have, or
she will never be satisfied.

LITTLE need be said in the columns
of THE STANDARD in behalf of the

without saying that Matt is one of the

better or more efficient alderman than
he. As county Treasurer he has
shown

More than one of the National
ists have thought that Lord Randolph
Churchill would adopt Disraeli's tactics
of appropriating the platform of his op
ponents. iu the Dartford speech he
sanctioned the Welsh demand for the
abolition of glebe lauds and titles, the
cry of the consumers and small local
distributor,, for legislative interference
with the management of railways, the
clamor of the Prohibitionists for local
option, the long-rejected prayer for free
education, the demand tha personal
property shall bear its share of local
burdens, and the longing of the rural
laborer to own three acres and a cow.

men are so imbued with preconceived

THAT smutty and disreputable sheet
known as the News-Letter makes a
sneering allusion to the use of a
wheel of fortune at the Catholic
Orphans' Fair. Coming from so filthy
a publication as that is known to be,
such an allusion might well be passed
unnoticed. But we are in the heat of a
political struggle—a struggle that must
and will end with Democratic success
in this State if the party shall not be
handicapped in the house of its friends.
Such a paper as that mentioned above
should be silenced: the Democratic
party would certainly be a gainer
thereby.
THE ignorance of Catholics—edu
cated Catholics—concerning much of
the doctrine and practices of the
Church of Christ is very alarming.
Outside of Confession and Holy Com
munion practices there is a blank page
in the reading of a large proportion of
our Catholics. They don't read Catho
lic literature. Books that are known
to contain explanations of the doc
trines and practices of our Holy Faith
do not seem to command the special at

rather the other way- Yet some of our
Catholic writers produce some of the
best written works of our day.
