NOBBY FUNERALS.


At the last Convention held by the Catholic
Societies of Scranton, Pa, and vicinity, the
following preamble and resolutions were
adopted, afterwards ratified by each society
and endorsed by the shop:
Whereas, it is the opinion of this convention
that the present system adopted by the Irish
people of this city in conducting their funerals
| Is unnecessarily extravagant; that an indis-
criminate use of carriages on such occasions is
but paltry display, calculated to impoverish
the living, and in no wise add to the respect
We desire to render the dead and whereas, it
is also the opinion of this convention that un-
pretentious funerals will best honor the mem.
ory of our deceased friends, aud prove more
creditable to ourselves, be it
Re8olre&, That the Irish Societies of scran ton,
in convention assembled, do, and hereby pro-
mise to hereafter, dispense with the use of
carriages, by walking to all funerals except
when immediate relationship to the deceased
exists.
Resolved, That the number of carriages al
lowed at the funeral of any member of the
| societies or any of his family do not exceed
five.

Gentlemen-I have carefully read over the

| ing Christian funerals You ask me to give
my opinion of . custom which, in no way
commendable, prevails among our people. /
am snre your action in the matter will meet
| with general approval. We must, in every
| way possible, discourage the custom of having
| long train of carriages. 1t is an indication
of folly, and calculated to foster pride among

sympathy which religion usually awakens in
the hearts of those who participate in the
funeral cortege degenerates into a mere parade
and an exhibition of vanity. fully approve
and endorse your resolutions submitted to me,
and particularly that one which limits the
number of carriages to five.

There is no such book as Doomsday
Book, but Doom's Day book. Doom was
the Secretary of William the Conqueror, and
he kept day book for all the affairs of the
kngdom-all the orders of the King were
written in it; all the sentences of hanging,
transporting, ETC., were in thence the
expression ." he got his doom, or he was
doomed to such thing" also the grants of
land were entered in his book-that was
their title.

The seventh signature to that reauisltiou

six were Isaac Butt, Mitchell Henry, w. j.
ONeill Daunt, Philip Ca!lan, A. NJ. Sullivan

the adoption Of the formule in the re1y same
terms pe haze quoted. In what terms ex-
cept those we have used can we designate
the statement that she never spoke as a
Home Ruler of the school of Isaac Butt"
This is no question of policy, 1t is one of
fact, of personal truth.
Unhappily this is not the only occasion on
which Mr.. Smyth's veracity has been ques-
toned. At the O'Conneli Centenary, when
he acted as man of all work and fugleman
to Lord Mayor McSwiney, he gave tue me-
morable order for cutting the traces of the
carriage carrying the Amnesty banner.
Next day he emphatically denied that he
had done so. His statement was met by
the following unequivocal declarations of
men whose veracity no one has ever at
tempted to impeach.
9TH August, 1876.
We, the undersigned, heard Mr.. Patrick J.
Smyth, Mp. for Westmeath, give to q body of
mounted horsemen, led by him, the direction,
" Cut the traces" Of the horses dragging the
carriage bearing the Amnesty banner (snd the
traces were cut and detached aooordinglyl, op-
posite the Esplanade, in front of the Royal
Barracks, on the occasion of the O'Connell
procession, on Friday, the 9th day Of August

heard Mr.. P. J. Smyth utter the words,
"Cut the traces" John Barry, So Weymouth
street, Manchester.
From that hour to this Mr.. Smyth has
lain under the imputation of falsehood,
wherein the foregoing declarations fasten-
ed on him.
He has been equally unfortunate in his
attempted denial of the statement made
by several members of the Home Rule
League that he more than once expressed
desire for the appointment of paid secre-
tary to thst body.
Either his memory is most treacheroHs,
or it has very little influence on his state
ments as to past occurrences.
We are able to expose the character of
those statements which refer to transactions
which are within the knowledge of all who
watch public affairs but we are strongly
of opinion that the Council of the Home
Rule League owe it to themselves and the
Irish people to publish an authentic state
ment of Mr.. Smyth's connection with the
movement, which he now denounces as a
vile conspiracy" a afraudulentm

The Great Silent Man has used the vast
power which gratitude and popularity gave
MIN to the utter debauchment Of everything
respectable and sacred in government. He
and his creatures have trampfed upon the
rights of States by military force, and rotted
them by judicial frauds.
He has disgraced diplomacy by his Schencks
and Sickles, his Cabinet by accepting swim
dler's resignation; law by his Williams and
Pierrepont; finance by his Boutwells and
Richardson's; commerce by his Fisk, Goulds,
Jay Cookies, Henry Clews and Corbins; the
criminal procedure by his interference in the
Babcock and H burlington trials; the Indian
service by his brother Orville Grant and De-
lano; the army by refusing to accept Bah
cocks resignation, and thus holding him out
as an "oficer and gentleman" the internal
revenue by his McDonalds, Joyces and
Averys; the civil service by filing the offices
with his relatives, personal friends, and by
his Lecial and unfailing preference for black
guards and knaves. Everything has felt bis
leaden. selfish aud degrading influence. He
has defied and now defies even common hon
esty and decency Baltimore Gazette.
