NATIONAL INTEREST IN rnR EVENT
lhs Nlst mas been looked forward with much inter
est Al lhe Time OF the o'conne Centenary the hope
was INDUCED by many that the fcstiylty would be
graced by the presence Of the American Cardinal And
there is not doubt but that had he come he would
have received most enthusiastic ovation. Although
born within sight ofthe Hudson Cardinal McCoskey is
the Of Irish parents from the province Of
Ulster. Ireland always rejoces to claim as
her those among her children at
least, who achieve distinction. And surely, il ever
there such one, he is the humble pious but
gifted upon whom has the honor OF
being the drst American Cardinal 1t would however,
be a very one-sided statement which would represent
the Irish people as welcoming your Cardinal simply
because he is Of Irish extraction Even If he had not
n drop Of Irish blood in his veins he would receive
most greeting. He would be sure of a respectful
reception Cardinal and Bishop, and Of cordial
Bishop of friendly people. But reverence, cordial
ity and affection combine in the sentiment which halls
the Cardinal Archbishop OF New York az the repre-
sentative of the United States, OF people who have
been the friend of Ireland always sympathizlng
with her msfortunes her generous benefactor in
the hour Of her dire distress. Light hearted
aud nckle as the people of this island
often set down to be, they have feeling
of deep gratitude and love toward America, and
notably toward the city of New York They vividly
remember the help here in their OF afic
tionhe shelter literally accorded to those who fed
the doomed land. They arc not likely TO forget the
refuge given TO the political exile who having loved his
country mot wisely but WE'LL" forced 10 quit
his native land The great Forentne poet has recorded
that "'tis hard TO eat the bread of banlshment
lrishmen of modern days may we'll say that he would
not have written bitterly had his place OF exile
America These are the thoughts which upper
most in mems minds when there is question Of Cardinal
McCloskey. Nor is left of sight that the great
of the Roman Catholics who compose his flock
of Irish descent Of them born children of the
reputation has come hther the sea; his
zeal, his fatherly benevolence, his prudence are
all well known. But when all Is told, the prominent
fact remains, which holds chief sway the minds
and magnations of the people who will welcome him
here in lreand-he is just now the foremost the
Roman Catholic Episcopate IN America Honor to HIM
is tribute to America and II is tribute which comes
CARDINAL cuLLENs WELCOME
Cardinal McCloSkey arrived IN London last WedneS-
day, Sd November, and u is no small compliment TO
this country that he should elect to spend proportion
ally so much longer time among us. The exact date
of his probable arrival was unknown AT the residence
of Cardinal Cullen, he was not expected before next
week. Then suddeny.a report was spread yesterday
that he to arrive the same evening To-day on in
qury stated that distinguished visitor was
expected to arrive this evening and that Cardinal Cullen
had invited special party TO meet his eminent col
league at dinner The uncertainty prevented
any arrangements beng made or organizing suitable
reception. Nevertheless
LORD MAYOR,
who, whatever his faults, is backward where
there Is question of generous hospitality and digned
courtesy, went down to kingstown to await the arrival
OF the mail steamer from Holyhead. Cardinal Cullen
well enough to leave his house, but he his
nephew to meet his guest Some other persons also
assembled on the mail pier at Kingstown to greet the
American Cardinal on his landing, and singulary
miserable time they had Of 1t while waiting II would
be difficult to get more bleak promenade than the
Carlisle pier when rakcd by nor easter The she'd
which the spot where the trains down
alongside the mail packets, such occasions To-
steady the gusts and help them to search out the
Of the bones. The night was very wild, coming
after day Of seey showers and II was no small proof
of the hosptabe gaantry OF the Lord Mayor that he
remained on the tor over hour waiting Tor the
steamer.
IN THE METROPOLIS OF IRELAND.
They who had gathered in Westland station to
witness his Eminences arrival in Dublin had almost
equally uncomfortable time of IT, Tie misery and
Indebtedness of that station are proverbal, even

lean mail from Queenstown, en- route To England No
less than nineytwo sacks oi mails from New York
delivered and placed in the mail van, TO be put
board ut Kingstown. What a prodigious amount OF
correspondence, especially when remember that
something of this KIND goes on three or four times
every week.
At length the steamer came slowly up TO the pier,
at twenty-five minutes to O'Clock F. NJ nearly
hour behind time She had weather beaten appear
ancc quite justified by the stormy she had passed
through.
THE CARDINAL
