The Cincinnati Literary Club had the
pleasure, few days ago, Of hearing quito
remarkable eRsay on municipal govern
ment, to which tho Commercial rightly calls
attention rs q valuable contribution to the
general knowledge on that subject The re-
forms proposed arc not new. They are thus
summarized:
i. Limit tho dutss confiael 10 your Government -
narrowly n possible, that fsw boards will Be
sary.
T. Give preference. in nost caaes, to single szscu-
uva officers instead af boards
j. Lengthou tho term of OH -.
I. appoint ali officers except = vssy fav whom tho
poope may be sellcd upon 10 eeect with reasonable
care and ancccaa.
Tho Bist Of the essay consists In tho new
limo Of argument followed. Tho author,
searching for frat-class methods Of orgauixa-
ton, finds two admirable o1amples,--the
Roman Church md tic regular army. In
each, implicit obedience IL required, and thoro
Is rigid gradation Of ranks. The Ligher
positions In both are reached by slow promo
ton through series Of lowor grades. The
sovereign authority In eaeh has staff Of
confidential adylscrs. In short, tho organ
ization through which Pro Noxo combats
DlsxAacH is surprisingly like TINT with which
tho latter overcams France, although tho
weapons are 10 different"
It IL cortainly striking thought that the
loading principles Of these two widcly.ditfcr-
ent organizations, both OF which aro such

THE JUBILEE IN BRooKLYN.-The zeal
with which the Catholics of Brooklyn have
begun to make the jubilee is very pleasant
thing to see. At some hours of the day the
streets in the vicinity of the jubilee church
es are fairly thronged with people bent on
that devotional journey, and the churches,
empty from dawn until unit ten o04Se 36e
eyenin gs of weekdays, filled to their utmost
capacity, with constantly changing crowds
The schools send daily detachments. each
class making its pilgrimage on particular
day, and taking possession of the churches,
they recite in unison their innocent prayers prayers
for the ''peace of the Church, the exaltation
of the Apostolic See, the prosperity, OF
Christian people and the intentions lion Of the
are 40 varied and so great, and the sound of
the constantly dropping Jubilee aims" SO
ince ssant that the conviction that Brooklyn
Catholics are very much in earnest about
gaining the jubilee indulgence and very
devoted to the Pope, must impress itself
on every cne who has the happiness to
share, or the good fortune to witness their
devotion..-CathOlic Review.

I THAT BRING GLAD TIDINGs OF GOOD THINGsI
The Protestant Persecution of Ireland.
dublin Correspondent Cleveland Universe.


The following items from the Annals of
Dublin, now being brought out, may prove
instructive TO some of your readers, and en-
a b!e them to see by the light of other days
the rugged way in which Catholics had to
walk in order to keep the faith in Ireland: ::
1892. A university opened in Backlane for
the education of Roman Catholics.
1923 Proclamation issued to expel all the
Roman Catholic clergy, secular and regular,
from the Kingdom of Ireland within forty days,
after that time.
1880 A Roman Catholic priest, being seized
in Dublin, was rescued by the people. Fifteen
of the religious houses newly founded by tho
Roman Catholics seized into the Kings hands.
1892. The Roman Catholic College in Back
lane closed by order of the Government, and
granted 70 Trinity College, who established a
weekly lecturship there"
~"Alonstrous state of things" every liberal
minded man will exclaim and he, likely,
will add, "Nothing similar to this would be
attempted to-day" But 1 beg to differ
with him, and supply the simititude. In
1850 the Catholics of Ireland opened
Catholic University in st. Stephens Green
they asked for charter and an endowment
and both were refused. They asked to be
empowered to confer degrees, and they
were reminded that penal enactment was
ready cut and dry on the statute book, tt
punish them if they ventured to confer
degree. The goddess colleges were opened
against them, in which bribes of the mos
lnripg nature were offered Catholics, and
degrees granted for the mere asking. And
this system prevails at this moment. Thit

Death of Rev. Bartholomew Ghisolf

Rev. Bartholomew Ghisolf died Wednesday,
Sept. 22nd , of yellow fever, at East Pascagoula,
Miss.
He was born in Italy. He Yves an alumnus
of the Missionary College of Brignole-Sale,
under the Lazarist Fathers, at Genoa.
In 1870 he was ordained priest, and he came
Immediately to the diocese of Natchez. After
short time spent in Ylcksburg, he went to
Greeuville, Washington county; whore, for
nearly four years, he had charge of all the mis-
sions between Vioksburg and Memphis on the
Mississippi side of the river; besides rendering
service, whenever called on, in Louisiana and
Arkansas.
When the Pastor of Pascagoula was taken
with the fever Rev. Father Ghisolf, who was
then at Bay st. Louis, volunteered to go and
attend the sick. He had already before offered
himself to the Bishop, to serve in any place
where the fever might make it necessary to
send another priest-even if it should be in an
other diocese.
He went to Pascagoula on the 18th Sept,
ar he was taken sick on the 10th.
Rev. Father Wise bad happily recovered
| sufficiently to render all assistance to this
| generous brother priest, who thus sacrificed
himself for charity. Before are serious danger
| appeared, Father Ghisolf fell into delirium
| but he had himself foreseen the danger, and
made his immediate preparation by the Sacra-
ment of Penance and the offering of his life.
Rev. Father Wise administered to him Extreme
Unction and tie Last Blessing, and he died
Wednesday, Sept. 22nd.
He was priest who had been well trained
1 in the science and the spirit pertaining to his
holy state, and who showed this training in his
good prestly conduct. He was particularly
oblieing and selfsacrifcing, both towards tie
people and towards his brother priests.
His great zeal and activity enabled him' in
the short five years of his sacred ministry, to
lay up many of those works which "follow the
Blessed who die in the Lord"
He belonged to the Association of Priests
who offer three Masses for every associate that
dies besides one Mass every year for the living
| members. R. 1. P.
