WEST VIRGINIA PoLITICAL News
Senator Caperton is the only member o
the West Virginia delegation who votet
for the Centennial bill.
According to the Charleston Courier, al
effort may be made at Parkersburg, OF
Thursday, at the meeting OF the Demo
cratic State Committee, to change the Con
vention from Charleston to some Other
point. No wonder, after the remarks o.
the Courier on the location at the time il
was made.
The Monroe county Register (Republi'
can) Of the 4th says: "Twelve month
from this day the next President vii
be inauguratCd. His name Begin
with G." Not much it don't,if G stand
for Grant. The Register hadn't heard Thu
news when writing that sentence. Carr!
the news to Tom Swan, brother, and tel
US what he has no,0 to say.
A correspondent OF the Charleston
Courier says that Jacob is dead, Gambler
is dead, and Greeley ia dead" but the
Democratic party still lives.
U. S. Senator Henry G. Davis, hai
written letter to say that he is in favor
Of the repeal OF the Sherman Resump
ton Act' OF last year. He believes tina
resumption should come about by "th'
growth and development Of the business
interests of the country rather thar
through forced legislation"

THE Carlist war in Spain closed with
the flight Of Don Carlos to Paris and the
dispersion Of all his forces, most OF the
troops returning to their homes, others
following their chief into France, where
they are anxious to swap their horses and
accouterments for meal OF victuals.
King Alfonso has closed the war, escaped
the misfortune OF capturing his rival
cousin, and now returns to Madrid in
triumph, accompanied, very likely, by
his mother, who had better make her en-.
trance under the protection OF victory.
There is already some question as to who
deserves the credit for the return Of
peace. The king will probably claim
new lease Of absolutism as the reward Of
merii, and the Madrid journals already
put in a word lior Gus, the people" who
have done 80 much for your majesty, and
who demand in turn a more liberal and
constitutional regime. The chief impor.
lance OF the close of the war for the
United States is that it releases large
army which will now be shipped, without
delay, to Cuba, and used in the suppress.
sion OF the rebellion in that island. II
any effort at all commensurate with the
force Mt hand is made, the Cuban insur.
rection will be over in six months.

not against Pr0testants, but against big
OTIS. Many Of the grandest spirits OF the
Revolution were Protestants, Let their
names shine forever in glory! The no.
blest race of men upon whom heavens
sun shines this day are the American
people-three-fourfhs of whom are
Protestants. We are proud of the name
American. But there is a pro- English
element in this country, who, had Wash
ington's rebellion been a failure, would
now be calling themselves Britons and
be loud in extolling the memory oftheir
Tory fathers; but who, since Washing
toms rebellion proved success, i'm.
pudently put themselves forward as the
American people and treat all others as
aliens who are here on sufferance and
who breathe Gods free air in this land

hold, is neither Catholic country nor

Of all races and creeds, seek and find a

FATHER BURKE.

4 private letter from Ireland informs
us that the popular Dominican is now
thoroughly convalescent. His physi-
clans express themselves entirely salts
fed at the progress he is making. and
allow him to indulge his appetite for
exercise and nourishment at win. but
enjoin rigorous abstinence from
preaching. Father Burke feels strong
and bucyant enough to renew his exer-
tons in this line. but the doctors insist
on his remaining quiet for some months
longer. lest the physical irritation might
bring back his ailment.

REFRESHING lMPUD5NCE.

Under this heading appeared last
week ringing article in that admirable
paper The Irish World in answer to the
following bombastic twaddle of Ger
tain DR.. Miller, made at a preachers
meeting in New York,
DIR. Miller of Greenpoint, being called
for by the audience said that the Catholics
have right to their religion. We grant
them this liberty, but say to them. in
heavens name, if you can't put up with
the liberties we give you, 60 back; it's
no further than it was to come.
We wish we had room for the whole
OF the Irish Worlds article for every line
is good, but we can only give the follow
ing extracts.
We heard once of an absent-minded
gentleman ut a hotel. who, supposed
he was in his own house, rose up, and.
with 4 sweet smile on his generous face,
requested those present at table not 10
feel any way strange, but to be perfectly
at home and enjoy themselves with the
good things he hadi set before them
DIR. Milier's impudence is quite as re-
freshing and amusing as the absent
minded gentelman's speech. We ap-
appreciate the offer extended to US.
Every Catholic in the land must appre-
ciate it. I'VE grant them this liberty =
Thank you good sir, for the sentiment.
The smallest favors ought always to be
thankfully acknowledged. and this last
one-wni-h dwindles down almost to
nothing at all-shall not be allowed 10
| 60 unnoticed.
| Dr. Miller tells US Catholics if we dom,
like his notion of how things should be
managed in this country to ..go back. :
Back where, o Reverend Doctor? You
speak as if all the Catholics of America
were aliens. This is a slight mistake.
There are ten millions Of Catholics in
this land. and fully six-millions Of these
are native Americans. Go back.r' No;
we rather think not, DR.. Miller. This
is our country. Our fathers were the
men who discovered. and explored, and
| first settled this land. Our fathers OF
another generation were the men who
helped with sword, and pen. aud purse
build up this nation. "Go back Not
il we know ourselves. This is our
country. we repeat and the citizenship
we bear-she rights and liberties we to-
day enjoy-were dearly purchased
with the blood Of three generations OF
Catholic martyrs. Our title to this land
is perfect And now, Dr. Miller, pray
tell US who are you? We know not Of
what sect you are. 1fa Methodist, then
you cannot crow loudly about your Rev
pulmonary fathers /; for Methodism was
not then in existence, and, consequently.
You could have had no Revolutionary
fathers. Or if you had, the chances are
they were on the wrong side. At anv
rate. you are an Englishmau by decent,
and therefore, have no right to talk of
foreigners The English are really the
only alien element In this country. They
were the only champions of foreign rule
in America. But hundred wears ago
We rose up in might Of the spirit Of
Liberty and demolished English rule and
swept Englands slaves into the SEA.
We are nation to day, Dr.. Miller, in
spits q tie power yo1r fashers served.
