only few malcontents, who are not by any
means representatives of Irish feeling.
| THE CATHOLIC CHURCH coLoRNG.
Your correspondent remarked that the
English press and people considered it great
mistake to make the demonstration SO Catho-
lie in its aspect by the arrangements of the
committee.
The Cardinal answered: -'Neither the
English press nor the English people under
stand Ireland"
AND THE IRISH PRESS.
Your correspondent answered. 1.-The Irish
| press, even. opposes the demonstration on
account of its purely Catholic coloring"
Cardinal Cullen replied: "Such portions
of the Irish press do not reflect the popular
feeling of Ireland"
WHY IT SHOULD DE So
''It is natural that it should be Catholic.
O'Connel was all his life great and con-
sistent Catholic, one to whom the Catholics
of Ireland and England owe debt of graft
tude for the accomplishment Of the great work
of his life-Cathohc emancipation There is
its character. But why should not the Catho-
lies show their gratitude for the Liberator's

THE LORD MAYOR s ACTION.
The correspondent said: &c There is dis
satisfaction expressed in consequence Of the
Lord Mayor of Dublin using his Office for
sectarian ends. People condemn the Lord
Mayor who condemn nothing that is
Catholic"
Cardinal Cullen answered :-"The Lord
Mayor of Dublin has perfect right to give
private banquet as q Catholic, and also to in
vite whom he pleases to be present. Because
he is Lord Mayor of Dublin he should not
lose his private rights as citizen and
gentleman. The best evidence that the affair
is unsectarian in its character is that His
Lordship will give another banquet on Friday
next, to persons representing all creeds and
every shade of politics, at the Exhibition
Palace"
SLIGHT CHANGE FOR POLITICIANS LIKE GLAD
STONE.
Your correspondent asked His Eminence,
Would the celebration affair have any political
results? Cardinal Cullen said:-'I think
not Some politicians will strive to make
capital out of it, but the endeavor will have
little effect Men like Gladstone ought to be
expected in that quarter. Gladstone has
written much nonsense lately about Vatican
ism. The only effect of his productions has
been to lower him in the estimation of the
public. Cardinal Manning, Doctor Newman,
Canon Neville and others, have answered
him effectualy."
TIE QUESTION OF HOME RULE,
Your correspondent asked would not the
Sectarlan character OF the celebration retard
the accomplishment of home rule?
BLOW TO DR. BUTT.
Cardinal Cullen replied, 81 know not how
it would affect that. The fact is there is no
great Irish popular leader now livng-no able
honorable Irishman-like O'Connel. Were
there such men living something might result
from the home rule movement Isaac Butt
has not sufficient ability. He is clever man,
but he is not adequate to the task. People
differ whether home rule would be better for
Ireland, even if it could be secured
SLIGHTLY EvAsIvE.
| His Eminence evaded the difficulty of ex-
pressing direct opinion for himself on the
subject of home rule.
THE FOREIGN DELEGATIONS TO DUBLIN
| In reply TO the question would any German
Bishop come to Dublin, Cardinal Cullen said,
'No, but that some German parliamentary
deputies would attend"
