to this Journal was the mast slavish admirer Of
the inagisterial bench Of Cork, but that was
because that bench had distinguished itself for
dealing out hard and unjustiiiable measure to
the poor Catholic people. Now. when it is

can ind no language too severe to express it's
contempt and disdain fer the bench. Before,

Home Rule has certain protesting friends,
whom 1t would be far better without. Amongst
these is a certain Mr., Thomas Mooney, at
always of London. He has spent some time in
San Franciscosapd also some time in Dublin,
and in both places he did not, to put it mildly,
don he has Joined tue London Branch Of the
Home Rule Association, but ha had not long
done that when the majority of his fellow
members found it necessary, for several very
forcible reasons. to qnit his company and al
low him to hold his Home Rule meetings by
himself. These meetings he has held from
weak to week. but they have not been purely
the contrary, several other topics have been
discussed at them, in direct violation of one of
the principal rules of the parent association in
this city; and it is curious that those foreign
topics have usually been connected with the In
ternationalist, or Socialist, Infidel move
ment in ibis hemisphere. At last weeks meet
in G of this MONEYS association, the principal
topic discussed was the Spanish question Mr..
Mooney had the impudence to propose vote
of censure on Sir George Bower and other
London Home Rulers for assisting the cause Of
Don Carlos-or, as Mr.: Mooney Translates Sir
Georges most laudable action. danvi:S 70
Spain what ne demands for Ireland. Aud in
another resolution he declared for the Spanish
Republic and denounced Don Carlos as fili
buster determined to destroy the lives and
liberties of SPAIN Now if this Mooney branch
be really branch of the Home Rule Associa-
tion, it had no right as such to express an
opinion on the Spanish Question at all. SEQ
ondly, an Irish Home Ruler, it is perfectly OBJ
sistent, with any Spanish party whatever.
the reason Mooney takes this action
is simply to help the infdel or revolutionary
tried to help that faction. need not say that
he will not be followed in this matter BY the
bulk of the Irish people, who are as enthusi-
astic in the cauee of the Catholic religion as
in that of national regeneration. It is only a
few who don't know Moneys character and
aims that will be deceived into taking him as
q guide.
The other news of tho week is that the two
women Rea, charged with the Hollywood MUIR
der, have been found guilty aud sentenced to
peral serritude for life; that the Marchioness
Catholic; and that q new dock, built on the
Lffey by the Midland Railway Company for !
their own purposes, has been opened by the
Lord Lieutenant 1t is n creditable work
it has been constructed, and oreditable to the
Irishman. But am sorry to say
that it is called after the Lord Lieutenant,
spencer Dock" The national press justly
protest against the meanness of spirit, the want
Of selfrcspect which is involved in calling our
public places after Englishmen instead of after
1rishmen. As the Evening Ne,cs remarks, judging
from the names of the streets and bridges of
Dnblin, q foreigner might easily take it
to be an English city. After all, however,
the disgrace does not attach to the people.
old Orange Corporation and the Castle peo-
pie, and this Spencer dock" was called by
persons no are Castle people themselves and
are ever in search of some miserable honor
at the hand of the Government. In point of
fact, the chairman of the Midland Company
who, we may presume, had the chief share in
devising the name, received n knigthood from
the Lord Lieutenant iminedia'elY after the
ceremonial of opening the dock. Lately, sew
eral new streets have been hniit in the moi TIL
ern part of Dublin by Sir John All mott of Con k
and Others, and they have all, am happy TO
say, received Irish national names snch as
street, Home Rule Terrace, Fuut''-
noy street, Sarstield street, Goldsmith street,
street, Robert Emmett street, etc.
and you may be sure that when the people get
the opportunity of devising the names, this
most laudable example will be followed in
