IRISH PROTESTANT NATIONAL!STS,


CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Permit NE, rs an
Irish Protestant, to say few words in an
swer to your leader of to-day on "Irish-
American Separatist Agitators." Whether
the separation Of Ireland from the rule Of Eli
gland is possible or wouldbe beneficial shall
leave an open question, but will say that when
the Irish people give up the idea Of national
independence they will cease to exist, for SO
long as even ten Of them are alive on earth
they will never relinauish that idea.
What take exception to is your Implying
that almost all Irish Protestants are loyal to
English rule. This is great mistake. 1
tie Province Of Ulster, as we'll as most men,
and unhesitatingfy affirm that outside Of
the Orangemen and few Protestant land
lord shoncc1lS, the great mass Of the Protest
wards English rule, and they would he pol
tr0ons If they were not, and those OF them
that are not are poltroons. 1T may
be reality conceded that many Irish Protest
ANTS feel but scout loyalty to British rule;
but however they dislike the English Gov
crnment, they dread rs an iniinitly. greater
evil to them Roman Catholic domination over
them. This feelt, Us undoubtedly the main
ligament that l.olu. hem to the British coil
ncction, and makes .heln unco!npromising
and separation fro!:. tile British Empire. Our
correspondent confirms this to be Il fact in
his next sentence. We are not discussing
the reasonableness of Protestant fears and
apprehensions, hut merely referring to the
notorious fact of its existence rs one Of tie
factors that complicates tie Celtic independ-
ence 1uestion.-ED.l
The only thing that hinders Irish Protest
ants from being rebels against English rule
almost to 4 man is q very natural fear Ut the
Intolerance Of the Roman Church, an lnto-
erance which, i'll Ireland at least, owes most
of its origin to the horrible way III which
Catholics were prosecuted in Ireland by Irish
and English Protestants III the last century.
While 4 Protestant by descent and birth, per
the English language that 1 hate with
hatred which pray may last forever, these
are the words, Catholic AND Protestant. It
was those words and the untold misery they
connect that las left my country to-day
the pa1lper anI the pariah Of nations.
The true Irish Nationalist must learn
to Danish these words. from his Focab-

above the welfare of his country is Iniser- |

WATER MASTERS.

Commissioner Waller Intends to En-
force the LAW Against Them.
Commissioner Waller has determined to
take prompt action with view to enforce
the ordinance designed to do away with the
present extrayatal1t water-waste going OH in
the city. 1t Is all outrageous fact that
millions OF gallons OF water are wasted
every day by citizens who are either ignor-
ant Of the law or boldly indifferent regarding
II. Gartle'l-hose are allowed to run all day
long with no one watching tncnl,-just pour
IMP water out OH the grass and then into
the gutter,--hydrants are left open, and
defective plumbing which admits OF
wateFwasfo "oyenr" SIeS un{epaFed The az
Of affalrs is experienced most by persons
who are obliged to get their water-supply
from the upper stories Of buildings where.
owing to the reckless waste, it does not rttn
half the time. 1t should also be remembered
that the fact of 4 ,sater-metre being on any
premises does not give the people Oh those
premises any right to waste water at will.
To-iMorrow Commissioner Waller will send
out circulars to all parts Of the city reading
as follows:
To the occupant Of No. - street: In con-
sequence Of tho enormous daily consumption ct
water in our city the Commissioner OF Public
N1rks respectfully invites your attention to the
following abstracs OF the municipal code bear
ing upon the subject:
SEC. 2,0is NJ person shall use any water
supplied through the ChieaEo Water Works for
the purpose of hose sprinkl!ux between tho
hours OF 81. ~: and t p. III. in tho day.
SEC @0fS. No person shnll allow tue water to
run to waste through hydrauts or defective
pipes, provided however, that reasonable time,
not to exceed twenty-fOur hours, shulI be nl-
lowed TO parties having defective pipes to re-
pair cause
THE SAME TO BE REPAIRED.
"SEC. aa051. 1t shall be the duty of the police
Of the City of Chicago and Of aI1 persons in the
employ OF the city having police power to ca
force the provisions OF this article and arrest
all persons violating the Sa1ue.''
The Commissioner desires that the law above
quoted may be properly observed without re-
SORT to ANy measures beyond this appeal. The
daily supply to our city Is ~, ,0UJ00J gallons, or
about IL. gallons for each individual tor popu-
ladon Of I}.0oJ souis,-a quantity greatly be-
yond all legitimate wants.
The use Of water through hose during tho
ho,1rs prohibited by law tends to interfere with
its flow for household purposes, and becomes
source Of annoyance and Inconvenience to those
occupying the upper portion of high buildings
The Commissioner asks the cooperation of all
good citizens i'll the observance Of this law III
particular, and in the prevention Of all unneces-
sary wnste OF water for any purpose whatever,
to the end tlaar Ill may enjoy the rise of All
abundant supply for all useful purposes.

Recent dispatches from London stated that
the Standards correspondent at Rome said
that serious proposals had recently been
made to the Pope that he should transfer the
seat of the Holy See to America, where all
independent position would be assured him.
In the absence Of Cardinal AlcClosKey from
the city, Ficar-General Quinn was called
upon last evening by a Tribune reporter
With reference to this statement. The Vicar
General said, very promptly and decidedly:
=" It is nonsense, sheer nonsense"
'Can you give lue the reasons why9''
"Thcre are innuinerable reasons. and such
patent ones that I can sum them all up in
my first statement: it is nonsense!"
"Wil1 you state the most important and
essential reason?''
"As pure business matter, for the mere
management of the affairs of the Church, it
would be folly to think of transferring the
Holy See to America. The whole papal es-
tabIismeut is located 1T Rome: there are the
Vatican and St. Peters; there are the Cartli-

Rome for ages, and Rome is properly situated
