L-DIsRAELI.-Asa propos of Dis
raeli's sensational novel, "Lothair," we
publish the famous speech of O'Connell
against him. pronounced at Taunton, some
thirty years ago, elected by remarks of the
former, in which he termed the Irish orator
I" traitor and incendiary." Now that the
ex-Premier is prominently before the pub
lie, the reader may find special interest in
re-perusing the great agitator's fierce i'm
peachments:
"This miscreant had the audacity to
style me an incendiary. Why, / was
greater incendiary in 1881 tlian l am at
present, if ever i were one--;,nd if am,
he is doubly for having employed me.
Then he calls me 4 traitor. He is liar in
actions and in words. His life is a living
lie. He is IL disgrace to his species. What
state of society must that he that can toll
crate such IL cieature-having the audacity
to come forward with one set of principles
at one time, aud obtain political assistance
by reason of those principles, and at an
other to profess Numerically the reverse
His life, 1 say again, is living lie. He is
the most degraded of his speeches and kind;
and England is degraded in tolerating, or
having upon the face of her society, a mis-
creant of his abominable, foul and atrocious
nature. My language is harsh, and owe
an apology for it, out will tell you why l
owe that apology. 1t is for this reason
that if there be harsher words in the Brit
ish language / should use them, because it
is the harshest of all terms that would be
descriptive of a wretch of this species. He
is lust the fellow for the Conservative Club.
I suppose if Sir Robert Peel had been out
of the way when he was called upon to
take office, this fellow would have under
taken to supply his place. He has false
hood enough, depravity and selfishpess
enough, to become the fitting leader of the
Conservatives. He is Conservatism per-
sonifed. His name shows him by descent
Jew. His father became convert. He is
better for that in this world hope, OF
course, he will be better for it in the next.
There is a habit of undertaking that great
and oppressed nation-the Jews. They
were cruelty prosecuted by persons calling
themselves Christians; but no person ever
yet was Christian who prosecuted. Inc
cruelest persecution they suffer is upon
their character, by the foul names which
their calumniators bestowed upon them be-
fore they carried their atrocities into effect

The LAST AMENDMENTS IN THE DEFI-
NITIoN-The last amendments inserted in
the definition of Papal 1nfallibility, were
the substitution of the word poltere for
gaudere, and the addition to the words eU
seSe irretormabiIes, of the words non autem
er cOnsenSu EcclesiG, which are the direct
and explicit condemnation of Gallicanism.
Gallicanism had always recognized that
the Pope's definitions were lnfallible, as
soon as they had received the express and
tacit consent of the Church, but not till
then. This is now condemned heresy.
The Unita Cdtollica, commenting upon this,
saws: "The Council has adopted the famous
phrase of the Archbishop of Westminster's
Pastoral, that the Pope is infallible apart
from the consent of the episcopate, and
turned it into Latin. This is glory for
England and for the Archbishop of West
Minister 1t will be remembered how
curiously angry the Gallicaus we're with
those words ''apart FROM" and how they
strove to make out that they meant sepa-
ration of antagonism between the Pope
| and the Bishops.

EDUCATIONAL AND CHARITABLE STATS |
TICS OF ROME There are % ecclesiastical
colleges and seminaries, in which the num-
Der Of resident students is BAL +; in some of
these, as in the Propaganda and one or two
others, or perhaps more. for on this par
ticular point the Red Book does not fur
nsh information, and am not myself per-
fectly certain about the matter,) every
thing is supplied gratuitously to the stu
dents. The number of students In the
Irish Colleges was last year 81 (; in the
Scotch ~; in the English (there are two
English colleges, one of which is called
from its founder Pho Inglese,) 33 in the
North American 50; in the South American
81: in the Propaganda 122. Besides these
there are several lay colleges and boarding
schools scattered throughout the city. l
have mentioned in a former letter that the
education, in the way of lectures, etc, at
the University, the Propaganda and the
Roman College, was entirely gratuitous.
The number attending at these valuable
and learned lectures (given by some of the
ablest Professors in the worldly in theology,
science, classics, ETC., was last year 1899, of
whom 1900 attended at the Sapiensd, and
1925 at the Roman College. There are
considerably over 100 schools under the
care of the Christian Brothers and other re-
| ligious confraternities for the imparting of
elementary education to male children, and
| in them a gratuitOus education is given to
GAL pupils. Besides these there are pri-
vate elementary male schools, where a
small charge is made, and in these there
are 1867 children. Now, for female educa-
ton. There are between 200 and 300
schools for females, under the charge, for
the most part, of religious sisterhoods; in
these schools gratuitous education is given
to 9444 girls, whilst 2724 pay for their in
struction and maintenance in the Converts
or in private boarding schools in which
they may be- residing. 1t will thus be seen
| that the total number receiving gratuitous
instruction in Rome in 1869 was 1854;
paying for their education lin most cases
with their support) 1891 making grand
total of the pupils at school and in College
of % 905. From what l have already said,
you will, of course, understand that a con-
siderable number of the gratuitously edu-
Gated are also gratuitously maintained

The New Port Of Rntry Bill.

The act generally known as the
New Port of Entry BilF' was finally
passed as an amendment or rider to
1.-The act to reduce internal taxes" 1t
is embraced In sections from q to sc
inclusive of that act. 1t would be bet
ter designated as IAN act to provide for
the more speedy transportation of i'm
ported goods to interior ports of deliv-
cry" Merchants at interior ports
have, for a long time, complained that
their goods were detained at seaports
of entry, while goods imported by
merchants resident there were prompt
~ examined, appraised and delivered,
and were put upon the market, and
were scattered throughout the coun-
try before the Western or Southern
merchant gets possession Of his. The
object OF this act is to prevent this in
Justice. 1t, therefore, provides for
only such an examination of imported
goods at the seaport as is necessary to
verify the invoice and manifest. The
bond Of the importer may be given at
the interior port of dilivery, and is ap-
proved by the collector there. Imme-
diately on its delivery to the collector
at the seaport, the goods are to be de-
liYered to agents for Immediate trans
portation to the interior port. Such
goods are not to be warehoused at the
seaport, nor are they to be detained
for close examination and appraise-
ment. An appraiser is to be appoint
ed at the interior port of delivery, who
is to perform this duty. This obvi-
ates the necessity of unpacking and
repacking at seaports, Of which i'm
porters of delicate fabrics very much
complain. Importers of many kinds
of goods find the rough handling to
which they are submitted at the sea-
ports an almost insuperable objection
to buying abroad, and hence are com.
relled to pay profit to the seaboard
importer. The act provides that col
lectors at seaports of entry shall de-
liver goods Ito be Immediately trans
ported" and that he shall give pri-
0rity In time to the examination of
said goods and merchandise, for the
purpose of forwarding the same to
their port of destination, and that
such examination shall not necessi-
tate the transportation of said goods
and merchandise to the warehouse or
appraisers Office"

of this act was to place Western i'm
porters on the same footing as sea-
board importers; to deliver to them
their goods as promptly, and to CIR
cumvent the schemes of entry impor
tiers assisted by appraisers and inspec-
tors, to detain the imported goods of
interior merchants until the former
could glut the market. Whether it
will accomplish the purpose remains
to be seen. Shrewd are Eastern i'm
porters and great is their profit. IF
this act is honestly executed, the pre-
tense of delay necessary for appraise-
ment and for inspection, the excess of
and similar frivolous
excuses, will be no more available.
This act gives goods intended for in
terror ports priority of time, in ex-
press terms.
Some time will be requisite to get
the new law into successful operation,
and after all It may be found more ex.
pensive than profitable. It will be

and accurate inspection and appraise-
ment of foreign goods. AS long a time
is required often to inspect and ap-
praise case of drugs as a cargo of
coffee, and 1t will be difficult to find
one man equally competent to both
duties. Secretary Boutwell's objection
to the act was, that it affords new ia
cilities for fraud. He strenuously op-
posed its passage. Much of its success
depends upon the energy and alacrity
he exhibits In putting it in force.
Without his hearty cooperation it
Will be impossible to inaugurate sue
cessfully the new system. To his OBJ
lection the friends of the bill replied
that no possible frauds under the new
bill could exceed those under the
old system, to which was added con-
slant outrages upon business men for
the benefit of Eastern importers.
There is no question but that there
has been great cause for complaint.
Imported goods intended for interior
ports have often been detained as long
as thirty, and even sixty days at the
seaport after their arrival there. Had
