A CONTRAST.

What contrast between the farewell
given to Lord Aberdeen, the late vice
rcy of Ireland, and the reception ten
dered the Marquis of Londonderry upon
his arrival. One need not look far for
the causes. During Lord Aberdeen's
residence in Ireland he treated the peo-
ple with the utmost consideration. He
never missed an opportunity OF showing
the tyrannical landlords that the people
of ireland appreciated the fact that they
were not treated honestly, and they
would not submit to the despotic rule Of
the landlords one bit longer than they
could help.
Contrast this with The position Of the
Marquis OF Londonderry. His appoint
ment, in the first place was q direct snub
to the Irish people. His family name,
.Castlereagh. is aespised BY every true
born Trishuaan. He comes to ireland to
uphold landlord yule. and exert all his
energies in the endeavor to force the
Irish people into q seryile submission to
the Tory Government. How far he will
succeed remains to be seen. The state
entry OF the Marquis into Dublin on the
18th inst. WAS made with the usual ''of-
ficial'' demonstration. He was accom-
panied by his wife, Lady Londonderry.
They were received in Westland row by
a crowd which gave them a few feeble
cheers. Both the Marquis and his wife
rode thither from the station on horse
back. When The couple departed from
the railway station they were greeted
with cheers followed by groans. The
Marquis recognized the greeting by lift
ing his hat, bowing with a sardonic
smile to the crowd. The entire route
from the railway station to Dublin
Castle was lined with troops. The Hi
bernian Bank was conspicuous by its to-
tai lack of flags. The Kildare street
club house was filled with people. Dur
ing the progress Of the yice-regal pro-
cession the cheers were nearly every
where accompanied By groans. The
vice-regal party was welcomed at the
castle by a mob Of imported loyalists
who cheered themselves hoarse. There
was also an Irish patriotic crowd on the
street which more than offset the well
come of the few imported Orangemen by
cheering Justify for Mr.. Parnell and
'sUnited Ireland,' after which they fol-
lowed the Marquis and Lady London
derry singing .'God Save Ireland'' The
MARQUIS should feel proud Of the recep-
tion he received.

THERE is a touching incident re.
corded in connection with, the Charles
ton earthquake. When the first shock
came, the Catholics i'll one of the par
ishes rushed to the church to throw
themselves at the feet OF tho Eucharis-
tic God. But the church seemed in
danger of falling, SO. the priest would
not allow them tQ. enter, though he
opened the church door SO that the altar
and tabernacle could be seen from the;
street. Thousands knelt IN prayer
around the sacred edidce while the
pastor passed along hearing confessions
and giving absolution. What beauti-
full evidence Of faith in supreme mo-
ment Of peril! The experience at the.
other churches was similar to the5one
recorded above. 81 e.

America in few days, and we hope
the reception he will receive will at
once convince him that his efforts IN

this continent as in Ireland. AS the

to his support, and in doing SO made
some great sacrifices. N o man Has.

SWEET BELFASF IN HER GLORY.


y It would indeed be matter Of SUR
prise to the constant reader. Of the daily
press. were he to take up his paper for
three successive mornings and upon
glancing over the kilograms fail to Oh
serve the stereotyped headline, @Rioting
at Belfast In every instance the ag-
gressors are the 1amb-like Ulster Or
angemen. These Orangemen do not
confne themselves merely to assaulting
everybody on the street who may doubt
whether King Billy did anything very
remarkable in crossing the Boyne
Water, or men who, are willing to work
industriously in order to earn an honest
living. Oh, no. Any Catholic who has
the audacity to attend the funeral OF
dead friend or relative is a favorite
mark. Last Tuesday, the funeral cor
tege of man named Boyle, while re-
turning from the cemetery was attacked
by o mob, who assailed the mourners
with stones. The military charged On
the mob and arrested score of rioters.
In the melee the colonel in command of
the troops was badly hurt. Now, the
colonel who suffered at the hands Of this
Orange mob when he has sufficiently re-
covered will have to make report of
the causes of the riot, and after all, we
venture to say that his report will be
construed into a charge Of rioting
against the Nationalists. Such is life
and still we linger..

The objection raised by the Scottish
Protestant Alliance to the appointment
of Mr.. Matthews to the Office of Home
Secretary in the Cabinet, is because
Catholics cannot render an undivided

IT is, of course, Officially necessary
to DENY the truth of the story that the
military mutinied against performing
any eviction duty in Ireland. The fact
is. it was never said they lnutinied, but
that on returning to their barracks pro-
tested respectfully against being en-
ployed in work so unsoldierlike and
harsh. But it will in all probability be
found that the seedy customers Of the
bailiff class, with the police-who like
the work as little as the soldiers-will
have to do the dirty work in future, at

ARCHBISHOP CROKE'S REASONS.

When will England recognize the fact
that there will be no peace iii Ireland or
in England until Ireland is conceded the
right OF making the laws that will
govern her own people? The reasons
why peace under present conditions is
impossible are numerous. Arch
bishop Croke, in letter addressed
to the Dublin Freeman a few
days ago enclosing cheque for
$500. for the National League Fund,
which had been sent to His Grace by DR..
Cleary, Bishop Of Kingston, Canada,
enumerates as follows the heads of Ire
lands indictment against England:
"We Irish living in Ireland truthfully
but mournfully exclaim :-'How can we
be happyin in our native land since we do
not enjoy peace the fruits OF our indus
try the lands we laboriously till are
not our own, and the laws THAT we are
expected to obey are not Of QUE own
framing?' The fact, indeed, VIGOROUSLY
is that so far as we are concerned the
fields ON which we live and labor belong
for the most part to those vino despise
and hate us. The fruits of our industries
are in great measure consumed by
favored and frivolous oligarchy who have
done nothing to produce them, and our
laws, manufactured by. strangers, are en-
forced, often ct the bayonets point, by
foreign mercenaries Or Irishsborn slaves
in the interest Of a petted and preten-
tious class instead Of for the use and
benefit Of a whole people. How, then,
can we be happy? We lack the primary
elements of national peace and content
ment. We are strangers and castaways
in our own land, and hence We have
pledged ourselves to one another and to
the civilized world, the sympathetic wit
ness Of our painful and protracted strug-
gle, never to relax in our constitutional
efforts until we have secured for the
tillers OF the soil the fruits of their hon
est labor, for our country the inalien-
able right Of making her own laws, and
for every Irishman living in Ireland, ir-
respective of class or creed, the varied
and ennobling blessings of Home Rule. s"
We do not remember Of having ever
seen Ireland's case stated SO explicitly
and concisely as it is here presented by
the illustrious prelate of Cashel. When
such men as Archbishop Cashel pledge
themselves never to relax in their con-
stitutional efforts until they have Sc
cured for the tillers of the soil the fruits
of their honest labor, England can rest
assured that the Irish movement is not
spasmodic, but one that will continue
until the object of Irishmen's ambition
is achieved.

not relish the humiliation Of acknow-
leaging Mr.. Parnell their victor,
they might have accepted this
bill, OF something approaching it in
principle. In the debate the arguments
advanced in favor Of Mr.. Parnell's pro-
posals were in every instance logical and
conclusive. The contention of Mr.. Mor-
lev that the bill provided better ma
ehinery and better method OF answer
ing the governments own question as to
the necessity Of relieving the Irish ten
antry in some form than by the appoint
ment Of royal commission was only one
Of the many arguments of this descrip-
tion. It is generally admitted tnat there
has been heavy fall III prices since the
judicial rents were fixed ''If, F" said Mr..
Morley, "the proposed deposit Of SO per
cent was too small the Government
could propose to raise the amount in
committee. If it were true that the in
ability Of tenants was due to the ex-
oessiye use OF whisky or subscriptions to
the league he would cause to be ill.,
serted an amendment requiring the
tenant to show his inability to gay rent,
rendering dishonesty impossible. What
had the landlords to fear if their cause
were iust?'' To these arguments all the
Tory members did was to reply with ar
rogaut Indifference or abuse. A pecu-
liar feature of the Irish question at this
time is the humiliating position Of Jo-
seph Chamberlain. Like Remus, he
has been killed for 11diculing the walls
erected by his brother 1t is safe to say
that Chamberlain's treacherous asso-
ciates will ere long be placed similar

more striking resemblance to that OF the

succeed, and TIE system Of Irish land
