forth the details of his death. The committee,
however, on reading the proposed inscription,
declined to give their consent TO the erection of
the monument, and it was subsequently in
timated to the authorities that an effort might
be made to place the monument on the grave
in defiance of their orders. Accordingly on
Saturday q force of 60 constables was placed
Mt the cemetery, but the Fenians failed to put
in an appearance. The force was increased to
300 men, under the command ofSuperintendent
HAVE, but beyond small number of persons,
who were probably attracted by the prospect
of q "scene," there was no appearance of any
demonstration.
Reveal of The UnioR.-s'Au Old Irish Protest
anti writes as follows in the Irish Times:
As an old Irish Protestant, allow me through
the circulation of your independent journal to
address a few words to my w-countrymen.
Now, as there is likely to be ut the command
of government sum of money drawn from
the proceeds of the Irish Church amounting to
e. 100000, would it not be desirable, before
that sum passes to the English exchequer, for
Irishmen to meet and consult ON the propriety
of demanding the Repeal of the Union, so as
to have the command of such sum in the
Irish exchequeri England has trampled on
the Irish Church, for the purpose of sitting the
agitation got up by Dean OBrien and the
priests of Limerick, demanding repeal. 1t is
the only thing that will serve the country,
more particularly this old city. Then, jim the
name of God why not set to work at once
If there is no one to commence the good work,
why not tho working men, Protestant ana
CatholicF Others will soon drop in.
Prayers for Mr.. Gladstone-Rev. Mr. Murtagh,
p p. KilculleD, county kildare, requested the
prayers of his congregation on Sunday, the ist
inst, for Mr.. Gladstones speedy restoration to
health, and passed glowing eulogium on the
ri ght honorable gentleman for the honesty and
intrepidity which he displayed in carrying to
a successful issue his great measure, the Irish
Church Bill. Father Murtagh, who has been
more than half century on the mission, has
seen wonderful changes in his time. He was
appointed parish priest of Kilcullen in 1899,
the year in which the immortal OConnell
gained Catholic emancipation, and he took
prominent part with that great man in his
subsequent struggles for civil and religious
liberty. Praise from such veteran patriot is
worth something, and indeed the reverend
gentleman did full Justice to his subject, and
ended by describing the Prime Minister as 1.-THE
Sreatest statesman that has ever guided the
destinies of the nation"
The Representation Of Coth.-Tho JFeekly Regis

Cork will immediately become vacant by the
Church observation-disclosures Act passed last week.
Mr.. George Alexander Hamilton has been APP

ry the disendowing clauses of the act into
effect. This renders tho permanent Under Sec
retaryshp of the Treasury vacant, and it is

BILE successor in tho representation of Cork.
Mr.. Massey is chairman of the National Bank,

VTsit Of M. Gladstone to heland-A Lapdon
says that it is currently rumored
that Mr.. Gladstone intends to visit Ireland in
the course Of the autumn, with a Wow to salts
fly himself by personal observation of the real
state of tho country, and especially as to the
state of land tenure. We hope that nothing
will prevent the qualification which ireland
would experience in giving hearty welcome
to the first English minister who probed the
depths of 1reland's wrongs to the very bottom
Never did potentate receive such an ovation as
awaits Mr.. Gladstone on arrival in the land for
which he has done much and which leans
on him as her assured hope in the future.
Gone.-How long have we been familiar with
the Ecclesiastical Commissioners 7? Every year
they reported to Parliament how many
churches they built, and how many old
paired-how many parish clerks, sections and
organists they made CONFERENCE.-The Church
requisites they provided for many churches.
with other interesting particulars for the Ca
tholics of Ireland. In the last year of their
existence they made liberal provision for fu-
handsome churches in out of the way places.
They are now gone after an existence. of thirty
six years, and peace be to their memory!

Reform Of Trinity College, DabIin.-The Times
says it was to the establishment of many, and
the qualification of many more, that in the de-
bate of Tuesday on Mr.. Fawcetts motion for
throwing open the honor and emoluments of
Trinity College, Dublin, to all Irishmen, DR..
Bail, the representative of the University, rose
to announce that the governing body of Trim
ity College no longer opposed any opposition
to Mr.. Fawcett's proposal. The same paper
says it had been slow to believe that the Irish
Church Act would have already borne such
fair fruit.
The Political PrisORerS,-We understand that
there is reason to believe that some of the Off
Gals misled the Home Secretary with refer
to the treatment of O'DonoYan Resaa, and
that the facts which have come to light
will be the subject of n further investigation,
which will show that the severity of the treat
ment was concealed from the Home Office.
