that the Irish population In this country, from
their industrious, frugal and sccumulative
habits, were gradually absorbing the largest
share of its floating capital At one time
within q few years they were appealed
to to furnish money to sustain an attempted
revolution In Ireland, and the Slievegammon
fund originated, great portion Of which still
remains unaccounted for. At another they
were called upon to plank down the cash to
carry on the Fenian movement At all times
they are sending money across the water to
bring hither INDECENT fathers, mothers and other
relatives, and getting up benefits in aid of pub
lie and individual charities. All this time, too,
they are contributing to the erection OF mag
ni6cent cathedrals, endowing colleges, semina-
ries and other institutions of learning, and sup
porting an expensive clergy, as well as them
selves and families. We cannot tell where all
this money comes from, but it would appear
that the Irish men and women in America are
made of money or that each has mint of his
or her own. The last call upon their funds
comes in novel shape. 1t is in the form of
pTOpU5eu lOuu vi lOuV IullltOI5 VI uOildtS W
Plus the Ninth, through the well known banking
house of Duncan, Sherman & Co. This demand
comes with queer grace from the Pope TO
population Of Fenians, whose organization has
been denounced by the Roman Pontiff by apos-
tolic bull, by his clergy, through the Roman
Catholic churches here, and in every shape in
which religion could be brought to bear upon
a temporal and patriotic cause. Pope Plus has
interposed the awful powers Of the Church Of
Rome against movement in support of which
thousands of Irishmen have devoted their
lives and many their fortunes. Men and
women have alike contributed abun-
dainty from their means to sustain the
effort to secure the liberty of Ireland, and,
whether right or wrong, it is useless to assert
that the Fenian enterprise is not popular one
among the great mass Of the Irish population
in this country. II therefore seems to be q
great stretch of assurance for the Pope to coll
upon these people to replenish his Golfers
when he has done SO much 10 smash up their
pet and long-oherished project. Besides, in
the present complication Of affairs in Europe

and especially in the States of the Papal See,
what security is there that in the end the tenn
poral power Of the Fope may not be abol-
ished, if the venerable Pontif be not obliged
to fee with his own sacred person to some
more peaceful land In the latter event, we
invite his Holiness to come to this country.
where ho will be Hospitality received and the
pathway of his declining years strewn with the
roses OF love and the blessings Of peace
Where then will be the Roman bonds! With
the fate Of the Hungarian bonds before our
eyes, the answer is at hand. With the fate OF
the Mexican bonds and the Fenian bonds yet
to be foretold, it is pretty clear that they will
always be shaky in the money market But,
without dwelling upon the fate Of Hungarian,
Mexican or Fenian bonds, or any other bonds
or bubbles, we do not doubt the Holy Father
will be able to get his four millions from his
devoted followers in this country. II is lucky
for them they have il TO spare.
