New YORK, October 3lst.-The Heralds
Dublin special of October 29sh says Arch
bishop McCabe delivered an important pas
toral yesterday. The following is an extract
referring to the present crisis:
The condition of our dear country calls for
our b tterest tears. Only little while ago
our own city presented scenes of lawlessness
which might disgrace an unchristian rabble.
1t is true the evii-doers were but q handful
of misguided youths, but it is nevertheless
true that evil. doers are in our midst, and that
the youthful culprit OF to-day may become
the hardened proHigate, if society fails in its
duties to the rising generation. We feel
ourselves. very reverend fathers, impera-
lively called on to enter our most solemn pro-
test against another irdignity which has been
offered to the moral sense of our own people
in this city, the center of Catholic Ireland.
Only few days ago, over-con6ding men
were startled from their dream of security by
the publication of manifesto which at once
assaulted the eternal law of good and struck
at the foundations on which society rests.
Passing over all other cases In which these
rights are threatened, let Us confne ourselves
to one particular class of the community.
There are hundreds of honest industrious
men among US, who, trusting to their faith in
public conscience, and calculating on the
security which a regularly. constituted Gov

which they hoped they ard theirs might
draw the means of honorable subsistence.
But all this must be swep. away by the
breath of handful OF men, the bulk of whom
have neither stake nor interest in the coun-
try. We disregarded the warning which

Let no one suppose, very reverend fathers,
that we have word to say IN defense of the
oppressors of the poor. We feel as keeniy as
the most outspoken Of our brethren, inspired
by the ministration Of cruel injuries worked
by bad laws on the defensels IS tenants of Ire

which of the two paths they will follow
whether they will follow tie men who have
marked out the road that must lead to anger
with Gcd and disgrace before the Christian
world, or the Bishops of Ireland, who,
through a glorious and unbroken succession
of fourteen centuries, are heirs of those who
encountered poverty and exile, and dared
death in its most terrible form for people with
whom their lives are irrevocably bound up.
NEW YORK, October 3lss.-A HeralPs
cable says: The pastoral of Archbishop Nc
Cabe was read in all the Catholic churches of
the Dublin diocese yesterday, and created
considerable sensation. Passages from the
pastoral we're printed late in the night,
and demonstrations against it were at
once organized. At the Cathedral in
Marlboro street about $50 youpg men rose
at the moment when the priest began his
reference to the Land League, and drowned
the speakers voice in the noisy demonstra-
tions which they made in leaving the build
Ing, At Arran Quay Chapel similar irci-
dent occurred, and in other chapels dissenting
noises and gestures were made.
