CARDINAL CULLEN AND DUBLIN CASTLE.
The Ill feeling created among the Irish national
lists by the action OF Cardinal Cullen in relation to
the funeral OF John O'Mahony has not yet subsidized,
and that digntarys recent action will certainly not
tend to allay 1t. Whatever may be thought of the
right or wrong of the Cardinals course in IRISH
politics, there can be but opinion its eect
The Irish priesthood has stood long by the people
obligations to them, that any churchman who
takes sides with the government Is looked upon
with great disfavor by the masses. Much unfavor.
lbc comment has been excited in Ireland by the
act that soon after the O'Mahony funeral in Dub
In Cardinal Cullen dncd with the vicerov, and
vas treated with more than ordinary distinction.
His Eminence was accompanied by several clergy
men, and the popular irritation caused by the fact
Is not likely to be soon appeased.
CoAy1NG THE PENIANs.
St. Patrlck's Day was celebrated by the Castle
authorities in Dublin to-day with the customary
honors. The ceremony OF mounting guard at the
Castle on the national holiday is always grand
military display but on this occasion it was rem
DEF cd very imposing by the presence OF the Duke
Of Connaught with the Lord Lieutenant and sew
eral distinguished military officers. The garrison
Of Dublin, which is seldom less than 5000
men, were brigaded, and as they marched
past the viceregal balcony under the eyes
OF the Prince, the bands played Irish national airs
Money thrown to the crowd with view to
arouse something that might pass for enthusiasm
and the whole court and the military officers wore
shamrocks. This Is regarded as suggestive of
desire to couneract the eject OF the O'Mahony
demonstration, which was as unmistakable an ex-
preston OF disoyalty it was decided success in
regard TO numbers. Irish nationas.s laugh ut

WAR on 'MrxED" EDUCATION.
The Irish Catholic bishops are vigorously agitat.
ing for plan Of national education which viii, place
the training Of the whole Catholic youth of the
country completely under their control. The Tories
being largely In favor OF the denomnatiunal system
In England the bishops strainng every to
mands believing that they have more chance
Of favorable settlement while the con.
Bervatves are In power. Mr.. Butt has
had conference with the bishops with
view to remodelmg his scheme for the settle
ment OF the university dniculty which ne submitted
10 Parliament last year. Bishops Conroy and
Gilooly have gone to Rome TO submit the proposed
arrangement to the Propaganda and obtain the
Pope's sanction which Is necessary because the
plan involves the abandonment OF the Catholic Uni
versty Of Dublin which the Bishops have maintained
for twenty-thrcc years as protest against the
mixed system which prevails in the Queens Colleges.
The present national schools in Ireland and the
Queens colleges make distinction to the creed
for their separate religious instruction. From the
aivent of Cardinal Cullen twenty five years
ago, an unrelcnting war has been waged on this
mixed system. Bishop Moran Is about to proceed
TO Canada ana the United States for the purpose Of
investigating the systems Of education which pre-
