Eeg~TuE visit of the Prince and
Princess of Wales IN Ireland, seems to
have been o failure after all. The
enthusiasm so abundantly poured out
in the columns of the English press
is SAID TO have been graceful inven-
ton Of the reporters. The lovely
Princess, the pure and good daughter
OF Denmark, undoubtedly excited the
interest of all who saw her, but it may
be questioned whether even this was
not more than balanced by indigna-
ton that so fair and gentle lady
shonld be wife to one OF the least gen
tie least manly youths within the Inn
its OF Great Britain. The truth is,
that the royalty Of the House of Han
over is threadbare, and average peo-
pie very readily perceive that the
Queens son might as we'll have been
born 10 the meanest house in the
realm for all he has Of noble or king
" qualities. Ireland has evidently
welcomed the Prince of Wales pre-
cisely as Boston welcomed Andrew
Johnson it has courteously turned
ont to see show Of which the sup>
posed centre u interest was really
an object of regard to but very few.
Tie shooting OF Darcy McGee, the
C,erkenwell explosion, the attempt
to assassinate the Duke Edinburgh,
the Queen second son, and the threat
to apply Greek fire to the Queens
own palace, are the truer signs ofthe
deplorabe state OF Irish feeling

Bishop Hopkins and the Pope.

A very extraordinary statement is
made by Rev John Henry Hop
kins, OF Vermont, leading to the in
ference that the eminent prelate, if
be did not die in communion with
the Church Of Rome, held views
concerning the Pope anything but
in accordance with those usually
held by protesting Protestants.
This statement is embodied in a
valedictory from MIR. Hopkins, who
announces his retirement from the
editorship of the Church JonYnal, a
post which he had held for period
Of fifteen years. He does this, be
says, partly in order to prepare for
the press several treaties which his
father had in hand when his health
tailed him. He says.
MY father left two treaties in
manuscript which would have been
put to press this winter had he lived.
Indeed, at the time the telegram an
nouncing his last and brief illness
reached me, / was daily in expecta-
ton ofreceiving the manuscript, to
be placed in the hands Of the pub
fishers. Ono of these works will
prove to be of peculiar interest, for
he wrote it as q 'retractation' Of an
opinion which he found he had ex-
pressed in one Of bis previous works,
that there is no good ground for re
garding the Pope to be the Anti
christ. In reviewing his books for
final correction, with view to Il
new and uniform edition, he fell
that a mere alteration Of the text in
matter OF SO much Importance was
net q sufficient tribute to the truth;
and he therefore wrote this little
treatise, acknowledging his error,
showing that be was misled by high
authorities without sufficient exam

on 10 demonstrate that common Prot
estant notion cannot be correct
No nobler proof could be given of
his fearless and contentious honesty

Why are the Irish Democrats 7

The question is propounded, and
answered at much length, by The
Irish Republic of the 9Th instant.
The substance of its answer is, that
in it's youth and manhood, the party,
in the judgment of the editor, was
the party of progress and freedom,
1t was" the Republic adds, " for its
early virtues the Irish joined it, aud
themselves being ehangeless, they
have failed to understand bow the
principles of one generation become
etfete and will not suit for the next,
especially in progressive age like
this, and among progressive people
like the Americans. Unfortunately
for Ireland and her people, we are
always content with things as our
fathers left them. We associate all
old things with sacredness, and look
upon men who are not content with
a constitution framed in another age
and by generation surrounded by
old institutions, as fanatics. Icono>
clasts who are going around smash ,
ing the brazen images Of the past,
we look upon With awe and ha-
tired, even though those idols are
pressing down the world, and we
ourselves are grooming beneath their
weight, while protecting their sacred
uginess
This is not the whole of it, still it
is the truth, as far as it goes. The
mass OF our foreign. born citizens are
sincerely patriotic, but it is not
strange if many of them are dup
ed by willy demagogues. Unused
TO the arts of politicians, they are
more easily led captive than those
who have always breathed the air of
republcanism.
If the Catholic Irish, "who vote in
nine cases out of ten the Democratic
ticket, would but examine the cardi-
nal doctrines of the two parties, they
would see that no good Catholic can
consistently Vote with the copper
heads. The Republican party main
tains the brotherhood Of man, and
insists that equal rights shall be ac-
COTucu 10 all-bO uOeS the Gnufcn.
This is one of the foundation stones
of Christianity, and no branch of
the Church holds it more faithfully
than the Roman Catholic. In chaps
ell and cathedral, in every part of
the Catholic world, we find high and
low bowling together around one
common altar, celebrating the dying
love and redeeming grace of CONS
mon Savior. What would,be thought
Of an ecclesiastic who should mains
tain g this is q white mans religion :?
For white men only, did Jesus and
the fathers suffer martyrdom. -
Such man would be at once excom.
municated for teaching the doctrine
Of devils" Ii this doctrine is abb
horrent to true Catholicism, why
are the Irish Democrats This in
consistency can not be permanent.
If the priests encourage their people
to repudiate catholicism in politics,
it will not be long before the people
will do SO in religion also.

g1y% THE Nation, in a recent article

bic statement, which is worthy Of at
tention "There are life insurance
companies ia this city whose availa>

the Erie Railroad, who have little or
no property over which the State

if one OF these companies should re-

guising the fact, that in our times
submission to lawful authority is not
to be relied upon from powerful cor

Growth of Englands National Debt

DIR. William Hewitt. the author of
CaSSeps History of England, writes on
the subject OF the National Debt.
Before the reign of Charles H., be
says, these kingdoms knew nothing
of a National Debt. At the acces
sion of Anne, owing to the military
exploits of William III. and MARI
borough on the Continent, it had
swelled to 16,000,000 At the ac-
cession of George |. 1t had grown to
954 100000 at the com mencement
of the American war to nearly f120,
600, 900 at the commencement of
the French war to little more than
e239, 000,0 900 +; and that stupenduous
effort to restore to the French throne
the effete Bourbons, with the addi-
ton of the Irish debt, brought it, in
1917, up 10 something more than
9S4S, 100000. Between that time
and 1888, the Government reduced
the debt S69, 900, 900 but since then
it has begun to roll up again, and
now stands st $500, 848, SAT. Since
the passing of the Reform Bill it has
increased no less than $50, 900, 900,
and yat in the interim we have had
the greatest prosperity, our export
trade being now more than five
times what it was in 1888.

A SAD SroRY.-The story of a con-
Wet in the Charlestown Mass State
Prison, who has just died of con-
sumption, is sad one. Six or seven
years ago, in the western part of the
state he fell in love with young wo-
man, and Der friends opposing, elop-
ed with her. They were pursued
and overtaken at hotel, when they
begged one final interview alone, and
then, as be asserts, mutually agreed
to commit suicide. At the last mo
ment, however her courage failed
and she called upon him, as he says,
to do the deed for her. He then cut
her throat and his OWL. She died
he recovered, and was tried at Len
OK, and convicted of murder, but was
saved from the gallows by commu'
tation of his sentence TO imprison
ment for life.

ings which actuated us during the
war; to assist each other in our va
rious pursuits in life: to relieve des-
titute soldiers and soldiers families;
and to firmly MAINTAIN the principles
for which we fought.
We cannot close our eyes to the
fact that there are thousands of sol
diers and soldiers families in this
State who are suffering for the nee
essaries Of life, and if there were no
other reason, this should be a suffi-
Gent ore for the establishment of q

fillment Of which we have no right to
shrink, and although the citizens
generally are well disposed to doing
their part in this duty, it is apparent
that organized action in this matter
is necessary, 10 order that there may
be those who are responsible for the
execution in this trust.
In view of these circumstances
the Grand Comma nder recommends
that posts be established at every
point where there are enough SOL
diers to establish one.

with charter fee of ten dollars and

THE Teachers OF You've AMERI-
CA-There seems to be no doubt
that women are suPerceeding men
as teachers in the schools of the
United States. An examination of
the census show that the 150,24l
teachers in the common schools of
the country, exactly 100000 are wo.
men. In Massachusetts, there are
six times as many female teachers as
male. In Vermont the proportion is
five TO one; and in Iowa three to
one. The disproport. i is most
marked in the large cities. In New
York there are only 178 male out of
over 1000 teachers; in Philadelphia,
SO in /, 300 and a similar propor>
tion prevails in all other cities. The
cause seems 20 be that few men are
willing to enter Systematically pro.
tession which nowhere holds out q
higher s:lary than 5000 dollars, the
average payment being 1900 doll
lars per aCnum. A leading princi>
pal in New York believes tina soon
there will be only women teaching
in the schools. The Board of Edu-
cation in New York declares that
the teaching by women is equally
satisfactory with that by men, and
the Board of Cincinnati says it is
superior.

CHANCE FOR THE UNEMPLOYED
The St. Paul Dispatch says: A great
er scarcity of labor prevails now in
Minnesota than at any former period.
1t exists both in the town and coun-
try. Wages of mechanics are enor-
mously high, ranging from $3.50 to
$500 per day, and yet great Difficult
ty is experienced in supplying the
demand. Laborers, too, are ipade-
quate. During the last harvest far
mers were unable, at any price, to
obtain field hands, and the present
indications are that the difficulty will
not be less next fall.
