LII IehSOuhDlo bOiullOu LII luo pfOOlSH which confronts us. To set up any one form as the only rightful custom is to enslave ourselves to a prejudice. To surround that traditional form with the associations of religion, so that when science calls us to change it we shrink back in fear-that is to invite a new superstition, from which our age ought surely to have shaken itself free. Yet in England, only few years ago, & leading dignitary of the national Church dared to assert that cremation endan- gered the belief in the life to come. To his medieval mind the rising up into new life meant the rising up again of the actual body which had been laid away in the grave. To burn that body in crematory seemed to him to evanish the soul into air. Yet we know that one and the same process of combustion is carried on in either mode of disposing of the body, and that if the dissolution of the body imperilled the true doctrine of the resurrection, then that doctrine was long ago hopelessly lost. Yet just this folly is allowed secretly and shiver- ingly to haunt the minds of men who would be ashamed to give it open shape. Providence has not left the fate of any soul to the accident of the body. No duty to the dead exists which science tells us stands in the way of duty to the living.
 "We owe the dead the duty of be- lieving in them as living, and of con- muning with them. What ways of com. muning they have we know not, but we know our own way of communing with them. I can call up my friends be- loved form, and think with him along the lines ws have travelled together,

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE DEAD. Killed by the Political Ambition of
 Its Leaders.


 Hts Leaders.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Daily News, which is very influential among the Irish though not an organ, says this afternoon: ''The Irish parliamentary party is counting on receiving some material assistance from the Irish National league in this country. The prospect, however, is said by men most prominent in the councils of the latter body to be very slim The Irish National league in this country is now virtually dead and in the city of New York where it was formerly SO strong there is only bare remnant of it left The decadence of the organization has been produced by the apathy of men who have become distrustful of the leaders. Whether rightly or wrongly the belief has gained ground that the organization was to some extent used for American political pur- poses, and that is why it has an existence merely on paper today" The News then cites the manifesto issued last year by Pat rick Egan, president of the league, calling on all Irishmen to vote the Republican ticket and adds: "This disrupted the league, driv- ing all men of independent opinions out of the oroanization D
