| ABOUT the civil loyalty of the Catholics anf
their mental and moral freedom being placed
at the mercy Of another, and has done 30 il
the most offensive manner. The Archbisho,
OF Westminster has given noble and conclu
sive reply to Gladstone from the Catholic
point of view, while the Irish Catholic pres.
from the political point of view emphatically
| declares that Mr.. Gladstone's career as q poll
tician has closed. He can never hope to sue.
coed to power except with the aid of the
Irish Catholic vote, and this can never again
be his; for which, for my part, am disposed
to give God thanks. Some time ago there
were actually Catholics in Ireland who thought
it treason for Irishmen to "embarrass MI.
Gladstone" by aDking him for anything after
he had disestablished the Protestant church
and given the Land Act!
SEVERE MEASURES OF BISHOP MAC kvuLY
The Most Rev. DR.. MacEvilly, Bishop of Gal
way, Kilmacduagh, and Kilfenora, has by a
single letter established Sunday closing of
public houses in all the large districts in which
he exercises spiritual sway. A couple of weeks
since he issued circular to his clergy depriv-
ing of the Sacrament of Penance all publicans
and their assistants who would sell thence
forth any Intoxicating drinks; and the follow
ing Sunday there was not single public house
open but one. That one, owned by Catholic,
is in the town of Galway, and will, of course,
be closed very soon on Sundays.
CENTENARY OF DANIEL ocoNNELI.
The OConnell Committee have issued an ad-
dress " to the Irish race at homo and abroad
and to the friends of freedom throughout the
world" calling upon them to join in celebrst-
ing in a proper manner the Centenary of
O'Connell, which will fell on the 5th of
August next year. The address (Which might
have been better) sketches in brief the career
OF OConnell, and is signed by Alderman Mac
Swiney (the Lord Mayor Elect of Dublin) Sir
John Gray, M. p, the Rev. John O'Hanlon, c.
c., and Mr.. j. Reilly, honorable secretaries to
the Committee. The Lord Mayors name, Mr..
Brooks, NJ. p, was also attached to the docu-
ment when it was published, but his lordship
has since said that it was put to it without his
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that may mean.
CARDINAL CULLEN AND THE REvIvAL1srs,
The Cardinal-Archbishop of Dublin has |
been down on " the pair of Revivalist hum

lockery of religion. The other night gen. I
