Mr. Bryan has already been noniina
Od by the populists, the democrats, toe
free silver republicans the uncle taxers
jital the anti iniix-rialists. Mr. McKinley
lias W11 pomimiUd bv part of lhe repub
licans by a majority of tbo Englishmen
nud is looking for an endorsement
from Russia. Bryan will cany America
and McKinley will get a big majority
in Europe. T!ie Nonconformist.
A number of New York Irishmen,
who were formerly Republicans notably
Patrick Ecun, once minister to Chili;
rtrick Ford, of the Iris-Ii World, and
lteimis A. Bpelli.sxy, a lawyer, have
formed in the interest of Mr. Bryan.
They seek to m ike converts to his cause
among men of tlieir descent.
The'r statement of principles is a de
claration that the policy of McKinley in
the Philippine is nn attack on human
lilrty in every country in the world
nud an Indirect menace to the hopes of
very loyal Irishman.
"Savages do not like an independent ind upright judicary. They want
the judge to decide their way, and if he doc not they want to behead him.
The populists experience much the same emotions whprj they realize that the
judiciary stands between thoi and plunder." Daily world Herald.
Democracy of Jefferson.
"The disease of liberty in catching."
'W do not raise armies for fclory or
com) uest."
"No man has a natural right tocommit
aggression on the eijual rights of anoth
er; and this is all from which the laws
ought to restrain him."
'The whole art of government consists
in the art of being honest."
'Gov-Tiiments derive their just power
from the consent of the governed."
''To take part in European conflicts
would bo to divert our energies from
creation to destruction"
"How easily we prescribe for others
a cure for their dillicuitius, when we
cannot cure our ovn."
"Monopolies compensations pre am
ong the most fatal abuses which some
governments practice from false economy."
"The people are the only sure reliance
for the perservation of our liberty.
"A naval force can never endanger
our liberties, nor occasion bloodshed; a
land force could do both."
"Taxation follows public debt, and in
its train w retchedness and oppression."
"Conquest ss not our principles? n is
inconsistent with our Government."
To make tin meaning of imperialism
plain Wy illustration, it mav he haid that
the American colonies fought the revol
utionary war because of England's im
perialism. The best exposition of im
perialism extant is to 1 found in Wil
liam Jennings Bryans ootilicatiou speech
at Indianapolis. "Republics cannot have
subjebtg," he says. To tax without al
lowing representation, to govern with
out the couseut of the governed that is
imperialism. American imperialism is
to plant our flat; in an aliea land with,
out the constitution. We have done
this, through the present Republican ad
ministration, in the Philippine islands.
I 11 fm
Hon. W. F. Hayward, Fusion candi-
utt for the upper house of the state lee-
datura from this 14th senatorial dis
trict, declares if elected, will do all in
is power to amend the statutes so that
no matter whether a person is guilty of
stealing a ?"). calf or a critter worth
more the criminal will bo punishable by
beiig sent to states prison, as the law
now stands, one who is inclined to steal
must stval enough in value to make
if?."), worth in order to be a felonous
nmitial, We llieve it would be agood
thing to have the statute refored to am
ended.
So, today, we aru engaged in a contro
versy which will determine whether we
are to have a n public in which the gov
ernment derives its just Kjwers from the
consent of the governed, or an empire
in which brute force is the only rocO;
uued source of power.
IN A GOVERNMENT WHERE THE
PEOPLE UL'LE EVERY WRONG CAN

REMKD1V.D, BUT WHEN ONCE THE
DOCTlilNE OF SFLF-GOVERNNENT
IS IMPAIRED AND MIGHT IS. SUB
STITUTED FOR RIGHT, THERE IS NO
CERTAINTY THAT ANY QUESTION
WILL BE SETTLED RIGIIT.-Para
grabh of The Notification Speech of
William J. Bryan, at Tocka Kansas,
August 28rd.
According to the doctrine represented
by president McKinley, "who will pull
own the flag" in China? After it has
once been r.iised there. Well there will
be uo trouble about that; imperial John
Hay can get it pulled down in the same
way he did in Alaska, when he turned
over 2,000 square miles of territory b
England thrue weeks ago.

Is There A Money Question.
The North-western Catholic never took a deep interest in the so-called money
question. To ita untutored mind money is simply tbo yard stick of exchange; and
it has always believed and continues to believe that any metal intrinsically valu
able would serve the world as money. It never could appreciate the signillcance
t "sound money" as tlistiuguised from "rotten money;" nor why a white metal
that served mankind tor 3,000 years as a medium of exchange phould become "rot-
tea suddenly ; or why the discrediting of that white metal should become nocess
nrv to the safetT of business. It is unable to discern the existence of a money
questional this time before tbe American people. The single gold standard
now the law of the land; and all admit that the repeal of tuis law would be im
possible for at least six years; because during that jienod a "sound money ma
jority will rule the Uoittd States senate But, if again, for sake of the argument
we confess that mankind was financially blind and wanting in the sense of smell
for three thousand years in failing to discover the rottenoeHs of silver, and if we
confess lit general terms that bimetalism is an evil, still would it be diflicult to
dim-over any great cause for alarm oyer a question which is unalterably settled for
at least nix years. Better to settle once and for all time whether the mission of
this nation is the protective of life liberty and property within its own boundaries
or tle destruction of life liberty and property in the distant Islands of the Pacific
Ocean. -North Western (Sioux city) Catholic.
Roosvelts Insult To Labor.
Theodore Koosvelt now pleads for the vote of laboring men. It will le in
strucli ve to read an article published in the Review of Reviews for Septembej, 1H
1)6 ami written by Theodore Roosevelt. In that article page 20.' Mr, Roosevelt
.aid:
The men who object to what they style government by Injunction,' are,
as Regards the essential principles of government in hearty sympathy with
their remote skin-clad ancestors who lived in caves, fought one another with
stone-headed axes, and ate the Mammoth and wooly Rhinoceros.
They are interesting as representing a geological survival but they are
dangerous whenever tlvre Is the' least chance of their making the principles of
this ages-buried pat living factors in our present life.
"Tliey are not in sympathy with men of good minds and sound civic mor
ality. 'It Is not a nire thing to wish to pay ones debts in coins worth 50 cents on
, the dollar, but It is a much less nice tiling to wish to plunge one's country into
anarchy by providing that the law Miall only protect the lawless and Frown
scornfully on the law-abiding.
"There is a great deal of mushy sentiment in the world, and there are al
ways a certain number of people whose minds are weak and whose emotion
ore strong and who effervesce with sympathy toward any, man who does
wrong, and with indignation toward any man who chastises the criminal for
having done wrong. These emotionalists, moreover, are always reinforced
by tlwt larjre body i f men who themselves wish to do wrong, and who are
not sentimental at all, but, on the contrary, very practical. It is rarely that
theee two clan control a freat political party, but at Chicago this became
mm accomjtli&hed fact.
Koosvelt On Populist. '
Middle-of-the-road populists who are
beif.g used to further the chances of Mc
Kinley and Roosvelt will be interested

Corrupt ring of tyrants.
There is uo Republican party in the
sens of that party's origin in existence

republicans who attended the birth of the
party, can indorse the usurpation of its

(Ex Senator, Ex-secretary of the Treas
urer, and Ex-Gova.-nor ot-Massachusetts,
In ray age I leave the Republican
party now that it has surrendered itself
to despotic and tyrannical motives. I
helped create the Republican party, a
party at that time of justice and princi
ple and honesty. I now believe it is a
parly of injustice and despotism and I
will help to destroy it. And how?
There is but one available means and
you know what that is. I am for Pry
an. I am for Bryan in spite of what hw
may believe concerning the currency or
finances of the country. This is a Ques
tion of life or death to the republic. In
such a crisis shall r stop to consider
whether silver should be worth more or
less than it is? If a mistake is - made in
tbe next administration, should Bryan
be elected, the people can remedy it in
four or eight years. The country would
not he destroyed. If the currency is im
paired we can reedem It. It was impair
ed during the civil war and we redeemed
it afterwards. Speech at Indianapolis,
