POPE LEO AND THE LEAGUE.
ireland Excited Over q Message from
the Vatican,

A profound sensation has been caused in
Ireland says cable despatch, By the mes
sage from the Vatican containing words Of
disapproval of tho prominent action Of some
Irish prelates and priests in reference to the
national movement and In pointed manner
regarding their assistance to the Parnell
7, stimonal fund. The Freemaas Journal
announces $500 additional subscriptions to
the fund, great number OF the contributors
being priests, and this Is described as 1.-THE
first answer to the Vatican Condemua-
ton of the action of the authorities at Rome
is general, and there is a holiness and signi-
icance in the declaration OF the pro- Catholic
OrgGn, the FREEMAN, in saying that the
Pope's circular is 1.-THE most important donu-
mcnt since Adrian's famous bull. The Vat
lean is grossly misinformed. II it censures
the ilustrious and beloved Archbishop of
Cashe it must also censure nine other dis
tinguishcd prelates and the entire priesthood
of ireland. All must obey the Pops's COM
mand, bat the regeneration Of Ireland will
yet be effected by the union Of the priests
and people,
Tho Freemd,.s illustration Of the "bull" of
Pope Adrian ~, is most pointed. 1t was
that bull-issued by the only Euglishman
that ever occupied the chair Of st. Peter.
Nicholas Breakspesre-that gave to England
the first possession Of Ireland and bestowed
upon the adventures OF Henry ii. Ia the
Twelfth century the right to rule and ruin
the country.
At a meeting OF tho National League on
Wednesday Mr.. Biggar. Member Of Parlia-
ncnt for Caven, in speech said that any
thing coming from the Pope should be re-
ccivtd with much respect by the League
They should, at tho same time, express their
opinions In plain but inofienslve terms. Mr..
Biggar said he WAS not suited for such task
and that further it was unsafe for him to re-
mark upon the present manner OF admins
tering justice. Mr.. Mayne. Parnellite, Men,
Der of Parliament for TipperarY. said the
Irish people should take theology and not
politics fror, Rome. Mr.. Parnell, he declar-
ed, was the head OF their political church,
and they should be guided by him in politi.
cal matters. even though he did not Identify
himself with the majority in religion: That
the Pope's letter was an affront TO the Irish
people and to the Irish priest hood, and was
one of which would be rtsented at heart. If
in no other way. He, as we'll as other speak
ers, referred back 10 the example Of OCon-
nell in the controversy over the memorable
Qusrantotti rescript, when the Catholics Of
Ireland-priests and laymen- held out
against the Vatican and won their point.
Mr Harrington, while not ridiculing the
letter, devoted long speech TO belittliug its
effect on Irish politics. He believed Il would
have no effect at all, and il it did the effect
would he only temporary one, aud the let
ter would be easily and soon forgotten. The
church and politics had never beep mingled 10
Irish affairs, unless that could be Inferred
from the pat,iotic and purely personal &C.

THE MORALITY or THE STAGE.

In the current number of the North amer
lean Repie,o is n somewhat interesting Sym
postum" on the much-debatcd question of the
morality of the stage. Rev. ]. NJ. Buckley
insists with great energy that the theatre is
immoral and irreligious. 1t does mot recog-
nizc the Christian standard of morals. True
religion is often ridiculel on the stage.
Plays in which Christian qualities are fairly
presented are not popular Lying, drunken
ness, intrigue, adultery, painted women,
roucs, villains take with the theatre goors
and pay Very few plays can be read aloud
to respectable woman or by one. lie has
read sixty of the plays presented on the stage
in New York and fifty of them Unjust be
coudemned;" but he adds, 'not all are as
BAD as the worst" The tendency of the
whole-play, actors, surroundings, the spirit
of the performances immoral and pernlci-
Gus.
The other side of the case is maintained
by the veteran actor, John Gilbert He ad-
mits that there is much tv regret in the plays
and in the acting. He is sorry that SO much
stress is laid on scenic effects, and that man
ayers care more to make sensational hit
than for superb acting and the best artistic
effects on the stage. But he bears testi-
mony TO the vast improvement both in
the average quality of plays and the gen.
eral conduct of theatres during his day.
And he knows of scarcely any plays pre-
sented now which are morally objection
able. Mr.. A. Nj. Palmer insists that the
theatres are better built, ventilated and
conducted than formerly tina, more care is
taken IN presenting plays with hitting ar
tistic accessories that theatre audiences
are more refined and better behaved than in
other days; and that a higher tone of
morals prevails, both in the character of
the plays and the style Of acting. lie calls
special attention to the fact that while the
careers Of ministers who have disgraccd their
profession and arc serving out terms of pun
ishment in prisons furnish the richest dra.
matte materials, playwrights never present
them out Of respect for religion. The re-
hEipuo vi VIC community dTt
scrupulously cared for it is only the hypo-
critic, the base pretender, who uses religion
as cloak to cover his wickedness, who gets
exposed on the stage. The plays which had
the greatest run at his theatre nculcated
high moral and Christian sentiments Final
ly William Winter, the well known dramat-
ic critic, urges that the theatre is as moral
as the community; that if questionable
PLAYS arc popular it is because public morals
are low; that the stage is frivolous be-
cause society lacks cultivation and serious.
ness and nobility but that its total effect IS
healthy and helpful. Certainly a profession
represented by Booth, Jefferson, Mccullough,
Barrett, Mary Anderson, Clara Norris Nine.
Modjeska, Genevcve Ward, Maggie Mitch
ell and Salvini cannot be regarded as mimi
cal to the best interests OF society.

This is certainly very fair showing for
both 'classics" and ''populars,' and in
glancing 1t over VIC are inclined to think
that there is no particular reason why
MIR. Mabic should object TO the figures.
We should call it good, healthy reading
table, that nobody need contract moral dys-
pepsia from patronixng. 1t undoubtedly
represents fair average of the reading
habits of school children throughout the
country. We DO not see the need, just at

How two of the big cities of tbs country
have grown, the two biggest in reality
New York and Chicago--is shown by the
subj figures. The population Of New
York city was 10 1867 years ago-23,-
GA in 1920 it was 1873, FOG; in 1880, 2O2,-
$50; in 1910, 3l2,7l0; in 1850, 5l5, 547 in
1860 $4,000; in 1870, 942, 292; in 1880,
100000. This is a marvelously rapid
growth, and the indications are now unmis-
taxable that before the close of the present
century New York will have a population
far exceeding hat of any city on the globe,
except london. But the growth OF the
great city of the West is quite as marked and
marvellous. In the year 1910, when the city
of New York contained population OF 3d.
COO. The Getty OF Chicago had population
of $500 In 1880 New York had increased
to upwards of /, 200, coo, but Chicago, mean
while. had Increased its population to over
half million, rate OF increase far exceed
irg that Of New York.

the wife murderer was hung to-day in the
presence of an immense crowd, some people
travelling 90 miles to see the execution.
Jones who had attempted cutting the veins Of
his arm with apiece of tin, was very weak,
owing to the loss Of blood. But the physi-
clans succeeded in producing reaction this
morning aud the governor telegaphed the
sheriff to proceed with the execution. Jones
asserted that the only reason he killed his
wife was because he loved her. She had
left him and refused to return. The feeling
against him is very bitter, and it was thought
he would be lynched II not legally executed.
