A LOOK OVER THE FIELD.
The Democratic party of Minnesota
never went, into a struggle with more
earnestness or determination than it
did on Tuesday last. For six weeks its
•standard-bearer for Governor worked
unceasingly throughout every portion
•of this commonwealth, often delivering
three addresses a day thousands of the
veterau voters throughout the length
and breadth of this State were drawn
out perhaps for the first time in twenty
years to listen to a political speech
from a Democratic standpoint and to
learn the causes of oppression and mis
government that Minnesota is cursed
with at the present time. The results
from that unrivalled campaign. ar* now
before us, and Mayor Ames, whether
defeat or success shall fail to his lot,
can congratulate himself upon the fact
that he has aroused the people in every
section of the 2sorth Star State to a
sense of thought and action for the
future. By that brilliant canvass the
Democratic party has gained a strong
foothold and perfected an organization
that in another campaign will carry it
on to a no uncertain victory. As it now
stands the average Kepublican majority
of 25,000 has been reduced four-fifths at
least and perhaps wholly wiped out.
Three Democrats Judges Wilson,
Macdonald and Edmund Bice—have
been chosen to represent the people of
their respective districts in Congress.
'Think of that—three Democratic con-j
pressmen from Minnesota! It is a
startling fact, but it is the truth aev
eriihelesa. All honor to those who'
worked so faithfully to bring about this
•desired result. The Democratic party
Jias gained much for this they strug
gled for and won. In a day or two it
then indeed will the full fruition of
their hopes have been realized. It would
be the crowning addition to an already
magnificent Democratic triumph.
MICHAEL DAVITT'S LECTURE.
The audience that assembled in Tur
ner Hall last Sunday evening to listen
to the lecture by that distinguished
Irish
patriot and orator, Michael Davitt,
afforded ample evidence that the people
of Minneapolis entertain an interest that
will never wither in the cause of Home
Rule for Ireland. It is now some eight
years since Mr. Davitt visited Minne
apolis, and ever since that time the pa
triot has never ceased in doing every
thing onat would farther the interests of
the unfortunate country that he suffered
so many years' imprisonment for, be
cause he advocated her rights. Mr.
Davitt, like old wine, improves with age,
ai ay transpire that Mayor Ames has! laud in any way, handicapped the great
been elected to the Governorship audI Home Bule cause. He said the out-
and the lecture he delivered lastSun
day night was fall of information for
everybody—even those who have made
a study of the Irish question. He pic
tured the situation in the most lucid
manner. That he was thoroughly
understood and appreciated the repeated
outbursts of applause with which his re
marks were greeted proves conclusively.
Of all the tuen who have ever advocated
the righteous cause cf Ireland and her
people we do not believe there are any
who have more cause for doing so than
Michael Davitt. While he was yet a
boy of six years of age his father was
evicted for
non-payment
died soon after a discouraged, heart
broken man. The patriot, himself, suf
fered much in these early years. Being
maimed while at work iu a factory when
he was only a mere lad, his chances for
earning a living by physical work were
rendered impossible. He educated him
self and by writing for the newspapers
he was enabled to eke out a rather pre
carious existence He has, to use his
own words, kbeeu entertained iu Her
Majesty's prisons" at various times. It
is not much wonder, therefore, that he
should have a dislike for the people who
have done their best to injure Ireland.
During his lecture tour throughout the
United States Mr. Davitt has been most
successful, and every place he has ap
peared crowded houses greeted him.
His dates, so far as arranged, for the fu
ture are St. Louis. Nov. 6 Louis
ville, Nov. 9 Cincinnati, Nov. II
Pittsburg, Nov. 14 Detroit, Mich
Nov. 16. Crossing over to Canada, he
lectures in Toronto, Nov. 20 Hamilton,
Nov. 21 Kingston, Nov. 22 Ottawa,
Nov. 24 Montreal, Nov. 26.
AFFAIRS IB" GREAT BRITAIN.
Another week has gone by and still
no noticeable change has transpired in
the situation of Irish affairs. There ap
pears, however, to be a disposition to
believe that ere long some definite pol
icy with regard to Ireland will be an
nounced by the Tory Government, al
though nothing official has yet been
given to the public.
A great effort is being made to recon
struct the Liberal party, upon, a distinc"
tive platform, but what will be the re
sult of this movement remains yet to be
seen. Such men as John Morley are
convinced that a revival of the party
will be possible only by a reconstruc
tion. They desire the leading planks of
the platform to be a root and branch re
form of the House of Lords by abolition
of hereditary peerages, the re-establish
ment of the church, and profound
changes in the land laws. Bufi Mr.
Gladstone, it would appear, is not pre
pared to accept all these changes, at
least for the present, as he believes the
masses are not educated to that degree
which would make these changes ac
ceptable. Therefore, it is said, he will
use his influence toward preventing the
conference, which will meet at Leeds to
arrange a Liberal platform, from going
beyond a general declaration, to continue
his old policy at home and abroad. One
can easily understand the bearing this
will have on the Irish situation. It
simply means that Mr. Gladstone is de
termined to force that particular issue
before he incorporates any changes, in
the condition of thiugs existing in the
old country into his platform.
The unsettled condition of affairs in
the east of course enter largely into
competition with the progress of the
Home Bule question, so far as consider
tion at the hands of the Cabinet is con
cerned. It is not at all improbable,
however, that even the eastern question,
may, instead of retarding, eventually
influence the speedy settlement of the
Irish difficulty.
Just uow everything is remarkably
quiet in Ireland, and this can be in a
great measure attributed to the disposi
tion of many landlords to behave more
leniently towards the tenants than they
have done in the past.
S00D ADVICE,
The advice recently given by Most
Kev. Thomas Nulty, Bishop of Meath,
in a sermon preached in Dublin, had
the right, ring. In speaking of the
moonlighters he denounced the acts
perpetrated by them, and told them
that such acts instead of benefitting Ire-
rages they committed served but to per
petuate landlordism, which otherwise,
he declared, was doomed. He sug
gested that the moonlighters return the
arms and other property they had
stolen to ther rightful owners.
k,You
can do this quietly," continued the
bishop. "You can make this restitu
tion through me if you wish, or you can
make it through your parish priests,
who will not betray your secrets." In
concluding his sermon, the Bishop
said "If the moonlighters fail to de
sift from their outrages I am deter
mined to organize a committee to watch
them and bring them to justice. I know
many of these men myself. It is im
possible for them to escape. Our
conutry is on trial. Her prosperity
and happiness for centuries depend on
the good behavior of her people during
the coming winter. As soon as Ireland
shall have proved herself able to govern
herself we shall have the whole Engliah
democracy on our side. Then 'Home
Bulewill be certain.'' Advice of this
description from such a person As
Bishop Nulty will go a long way 'to
wards restoring order in the districts in
Ireland disturbed by the nocturnal
depredations of the moonlighters.

Ulster Orangemen who behaved so
brutally in creating riots and commit
ting murders in Belfast during the past
summer. It comes in the shape of
Justice Day, who, it is thought, will
render a report that will be hostile to
them.
SIN MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH has re
ported to the cabinet with reference to
the condition of Xrel&nd. The report
shows that there has been a marked
cessation of outrages, that tenants are
paying their rents under the landlords'
reduction's, and that the prospects are
good for a peaceful winter.

ON Saturday last Michaei Roche
Kelly, a magistrate of Fairgrove.
County Clare, was wounded with a

quarter sessions. Six persons have

A LAKGB number of the landlords in
West Clare have made reductions in
their rents recently. The rents on the
Browne estates were reduced -10 per
cent., and on the O'Kelly estates 30 per
cent. Col. Stewart made a reduction of
20, and Capt. Morgan of 15 per cent.
The tenauts generally are paying.
THE Marquis of Headfort has re
fused to reduce the rents on his estate
in the County of Cavan. The Marquis
is liable, in consequence, to have some
difficulty in collecting his rents, the
tenants having resolved unanimously
to refuse to pay rents at the present
rate, and each will subscribe a shilling
for every acre of land he occupies to
wards a defence fund to be used to pre
vent their ejectment.
THE English Tories are becoming ex
ceedingly distrustful of Lord Randolph
Churchill. A striking proof of Ultra
Tory distrust of Lord Randolph is
shown by the fact that at a recent se
cret election of the Executive Council
of the Coaservative Union Churchill
was actually placed second to Ashmead
Bartlett, who is regarded by everybody
as an orthodox charlatan.

of
the information and official figures re
ceived leaves the result shrouded in
Egyptian darkness. However, with the
information at hand, it looks as if the
governorship of the state will not be ac
companied by a majority of over 2,000
votes either way. The remainder of the
ticket will be just, about as close as the
head.
In the Congressional district the Dem
ocratic party have met with phenomenal
success. In the First District Judge
Thomas Wilson has secured a majority
over his opponent, John A. Lovely. In
the last election this district gave a heavy
Republican majority. In the Second
District, the Republican candidate, John
Lind, has been elected by about 4,000
majority. The great and most marvel
lsus Democratic success is that of Judge
Macdonald in the Third District. In
the last election H. B. Strait, Rep., was
elected over Ignatius Donnelly, Dem.,
by a large majority. This time Judge
Macdonald has beaten the Red Wing
editor by at least 1,500 majority. This
result can be attributed to the personal
popularity of the Judge. We doubt if
there is another man in the state who
could have brought about such a satis
factory result. Hon. Edmund Rice has
carried the Fourth District by at least
3,000 majority, Ramsey county alone
giving Mr. Rice a majority of at least
6,000. The Fifth District has of course
returned Knute Nelson, he having no
opposition.

though the Hennepin county ticket was

will probably transpire that the Demo
cratic county commissioners have suc
ceeded in securing their election with
one exception. The exception is John
Swift, who was first nominated by the

A KEV/ years residence in Canada ap
pears to have done Governor-General
Landsdowne a world of good. He has
written a letter tacitly admitting the
complete accuracy of the grounds on
which Mr. Parnell's eviction bill was
based. Lord Landsdowne's declaration
that no system of state rents should ex
clude tenants from obtaining abate
ments under exceptional difficulties has
already had a marked effect in rent set
tlements. His advice that tenants not
benefitted by the land act,of 1881 should
obtain a reduction of 25 to 30 per cent.,
is adopted by a host of landlords, and
with the submission of the landlords
the prospects of continued peace and a
revival of tenant prosperity rapidly in
crease.
JOHN J/ILLON has an article on the
Irish question in the November num
ber of the Nineteenth Century. It says
There are the strongest reasons to ex
pect that a large section of the land
lords in Ireland intend to evict tenants
during the coming winter. If there is
to be another land war, the new faith
of the Liberal party may be put to a se
vere strain. Many bitter things will
will be said, and in spite of all we can
do, deeds may be done in Ireland which
will shock them deeply. A very grave
responsibility will rest upon the Liber
als. If they will be strong in their
faith, and sufficiently wide in their
sympathies to enter into the bitterness
of an oppressed people, all will come
right very soon, and Mr. Gladstone will
live to see the two people friends."

UNITED IRELAND tells Irish tenants
that the time for political endurance is
passed, and says it is time for them to
stand up and fight hard, hitting from
the shoulder. The Unionists, it says,
have been in power for six months, and
have not made an attempt to suppress
the National League, which is stronger,
more active, and more resolute than
ever, and laughs at the Government's
devices, bluster and threats. The pa
per taunts the Government with being
afraid to use coercion.
IT is not at all surprising that the
English people should desire a peace
policy. The disparaging utterances of
Lord Charles Beresford concerning the
efficiency of the British navy, added to
the more recent remarks of the Duke of
Cambridge upon the incompetency of
the officers and the general defects of
the land forces, has had a depressing
effect on English combativeness. While
all the continennt, including little Bul
garia, which wants to fight Russia, is
bristling with warlike demonstrations,
the voices of the English statesmen are
wonderfully unanimous for a peaceful
settlement sf the troubles, and there is
a growing disposition among them to
look even upon Russian occupation ot
Constantinople as not so very serious a
matter after all. Evidently the days of
England's glory are departing.
VOICE OF
Th is is,
THE PEOPLE.
To the Editor of The Irish Standard.
DEAR SIR,—AS Catholic education is of such
importance to the individual and the public, I
would respectfully ask you to give space in
your influential paper tothe following-remarks
on the subject:
There has been for some time, there is at
preseut, and will be for some time, hence,
such agitation on capital and labor, and such a
general munditieation of the body politic, that
Catholics have been, are, and are becoming
more amalgamated with the several reforma
tory societies, as to be fast losing- their indi_
viduality and forgetting their own grievances,
which ^re far more unjust and flagrant: than
any other society or congregation in the
Union. The most remarkable and ut the same
time the most destructive element iu this im
portant subject is the notorious fa«t that the
bulk of the Catholic people are willing to stand
by and see themselves robbed ol their money
by taxation (for taxation without an equivalent
return is simply legalized robbery): their chil
dren
deprived
of the professions and hig-h of­
fices of society for want of a substantia! edu
cation according to their own conscience and
for which they pay a sufficient stipend in taxa
tion no matter whethei they own properly or
not, they consumo taxable commodities and
themselves forced to educate their neig-hbor's
child. Now, Mr. Editor, what wish you would
impress on your readers and the public in gen
eral, that Catholics have not, nor ever had,
equal rights with their fellnw-oitizena nor will
they until they take a determined stand and
declare by their numbers, their votes and their
intellectual capabilities that they must, shall,
and will alter the constitution, or rathe" per
fect it, by inserting a clause containing the
saiutory provision thai Catholics will hence
forth be educated according ro the advice and
direction of the Hieracliy of the United States.
indeed,
a meritorious work for you cr
any manul'actor of public opinion to engage in
and it seeniH to me the duty of those in such
positions to use their boundless influence in
such an important cause for it. is indeed a
cause which is immeasurably superior to any
other uow advocated by you, Home Rule not
even
excepted. You deserve a national repu
tation for your able and. disinterested efforts
in the advocacy of freedom for Ireland. Hut
what is Ireland compared to the Catholic
Church—not worthy ot comparison. Now. you
see, Mr. Editor, this is a cause which no man or
newspaper ueed be afraid to espouse, for it is a
just one, a potent one. and one that must
sooner or later revolutionize this country from
the Atlantic to the Pacific from which the peo
ple will arise with as loud a Halleluiah as in
censed the horizon when the sibackles foil from
millions of slaves. But our emancipation must
not be effected through the unnecessary loss cf
life and property, bin must be achieved
through intellectual strength and moral .in
fluences. together with a constant assertion of
our inalienable right to educate our children as
we choose.
For this purposse every town of any magni
tude in the county should have a society for
the compilation, publication a£d dissemination
of Catholic literature, that it should be Catholic
not only in name but in reality. That it might
each the Catholics of tho country that it is
their own fault if they educate by their hard
earnings the non-Catholic child, who, when he
is educated, will and dare taunt them and their
children with their ignorance. No We have
borne this state of things long enough Let
us assert ourselves! Let us declare we are
men, the peers, yes, even the superiors of any
in the universe, which we can be, if we make
use of the graces and blessings and healthy
doctrines inculcated in the Catholic Church.
Hoping, Mr. Editor, you will publish this
feeble appeal, and hoping you will give the
subject your personal consideration, and prom
ising to trouble you again on the same subject,
when 1 shall give some logical argument why
Catholicism ehould maintain in the United
States its lawful position as the educator of
youth. I remain,
Yours sincerely,
P. J. MAKER.
