a. SIGNIFICANT comment on Che rel:
alive prevalence OF crime IN ireland and
England is furnished by the special re-
turns for The quarter ending September
Both last. In Ireland there has been q
general decrease in crime. In fact there
was no crime to speak about outside the
districts where disturbance has oeen
created by the landlord eviction cam
paign. Even in the disturbed counties,
Galway, Clare and Kerry. there were
only eighty, one crimes, or about one
half of all the total of all Ireland. Two
murders are reported, murders by police
and emergencyaen are not mentioned.
During the same quarter the crimes in
London alone were far in excess Of the
total offences committed in ireland.
OF murders in London there were
twelve, as against two in Ireland, and
bodies of persons who had died by
drowning or violence, leaving no clue to
the mystery of their death, were found
almost daily. In fact, Ireland is free
from crime compared with England,
in spite of malignant misgoyernment
and the evaporation of the people.

THE YEAR 1885,
Centennial Celebration Of the Organization
of the Catholic Church in
America.

The year 1889 is the centenary YEAR Of
the Catholic Church as an organized
body in the United States November
6. 1885, the American Hierarchy wa;
founded by the creation of the bishopric
of Baltimore and the appointment
thereto of Rt. Rev. John Carroll, s. j.
The centenary Of that event will be
magnifcently celebrated in Baltimore.
Bat earlier in the year comes another
centenary, that Of Georgetown College
of the Jesuits. It will be honored
with three days celebration. begin
ing February 20 and closing on Wash
ington's birthday. There is peculiar
fitness in this coincidence OF dates, for
Washington was a devoted friend Of
Georgetown College aud his interest in
it was handed down in his family for
four generations.
Two of his grand nephews, Augustine
and Bushrod Washington, were
students there IN 1893; George, son OF
the younger Bushrod, in 1880; and
Henry, son of Lawrence Washington,
of Virginia. in 1884. The Jesults had
an earlier American town than George
town. the first, indeed, of which We
have record in the English colonies Of
America. 1t was at the junction Of
the Great aud Little Bohemian rivers, !
and was called Bohemia academy. One !
of their first pupils was John Carroll,
afterwards first bishop Of Baltimore.
Cardinal Gibbons, ninth in success
ion from it's pioneer bishop in the see !
of Baltimore, will preside at George
towns centenary, and as large a repre-
sentation as possible Of the American
episcopate and priesthood will gather
at that place OF hallowed memories to
rejoice with the Society Of Jesus that
has given to the American church it's
first bishop and countless other bless |
ings. !

far an enemy to the Vatican can go
som atimes. Contradiction Of these
lying dispatches concerning our Holy
Father have already followed, from
which it is plain to be seen, to use the
words of the Irish American, that they
were simply the emanations Of clique
Of intriguers and falsifers such as Eng.
land, from time immemorial, has
maintained in the Capital of Christen
dom, i'll the double capacity of spies on
the Pope himself and slanderers OF all
those whom 1t might be the interest Of
England to misrepresenJ.
ALL the same, however. it is salts
factory to find that these malignant
missCatements-the object Of which
was apparent-have been promptly re-
futed and repadjated; for it shows that
the Roman Curia is awake to the ma
turs of the plots that are being con-
cocted in London to be matnred and
carried into effect in Rome, and chat,
henceforth, the Vatican will lose no
time in exposing and denouncing
them, as soon as they are brought I'M
der notice. On Tuesday, the 18th
inst, the following dispatch was re-
ceived from Ireland:
DUBLIN, Dec, Is, l8sS.--Mgr. Kirby
telegraphs to Archbishop Walsh, from
BONE, that the story that the Pope re-
fused to bless reliquaries sent to him by
an Irish priest is an impudent fabrica-
tion,
The emphatic language Of this con
tradiction shows that the Holy Father
rnust have been fully sensible Of the
mischief the lying report was intended
to work, as we'll as that he was inaig
nant at the audacious abuse OF his
name OF which it was made the vehicle.
No doubt, the English plotters hoped
that some impulsive Irishman. iii
America Or elswhere, stung by the sup
posed affroat to his country, and kin
dred, would be prompted to minimizing
acts or utterances that could be twisted
and distorted to suit the purpose OF the
coercion party, whose agents have been
SO busy misrepresenting the case OF
Ireland, not only in Rome, but all over
the civilized world, Happily our PEG
pie have been SO thoroughly disciplined,
during tina past decade particularly,
that any such silly outbursts 10y which
the good cause has been too often re
tarded and endangered in the past:}
are not now to be apprebended; and
those who hope to profit by the mis-
takes Of Irish Nationalist will, in the
future as in this instance, reap the only
harvest they Observation-Disclosures
Another Of these Anglo-Roman fab
relations has besn run down and ex-.
posed by MIR. Comedian, the able
Roman correspondent Of the Pilot,
who, under date OF December 18th,
telegraphs that he had On that day III
terviewed Mgr. Persico, wilo declared
that the recently published report OF
his mission to Ireland was wholly ina

scandal mongers are nailed, one after
another; and ths plottings Of the pes-
tiferoua clique of Norfolks, Erringtons
and Anguses, who undertook to

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Some days since, in your report OF District bust
ness before the Senate, 1t was stated that John
Leech, president Of the Georgetown Gas Light Co,
had protested against the terms OF the bill now
before the Senate to regulate the quality and price
or gas in the District and that through his efforts
an amendment was made providing for mainte-
nance OF present price OF gas, should there be no
consolidation. Now, Mr.. Editor that means no
consolidation, if IL means anything. Why? Be-
cause before the adjournment OF the last session,
after conference between the subcommittee OF
the senate and the officials OF the Georgetown
Gas Light Co., they were given until June, 1887,
10 erect consolidation, which they did not do,
and never will do as long as they can influence the
committee by their representations OF poverty; ;
while their STOCK, having par value OF $25 was
refused at 4o1$ on the local board last week. so
being asked. Should the president OF this cor
poration be permitted to dictate amendments TO a
bill now pending before the senate without allow
Ing the gas consumers a hearing? JONES
