4 CALM AFTER A STORM.

After all the excitement and comment
over the papal edict there is now
scarcely word said about the famous
document. Since the Irish hierarchy
met in conference last week, and told
the people that the Pope had no inten-
ton or inclination to NEEDLE in Irish
politics, a calm has suddenly followed
the storm Of indignation evoked by the
issuance Of the rescript, and peace once
more reigns supreme in the minds of
the irish people on both sides Of the
ocean.
The enemy can no longer assert that
Home Rule is Rome Rule. The Orange
men of Belfast, instead of cheering the
Holy Father, will change their tune and
again consign HIM to the Internal
regions. The friends of ireland are
jubilant over the glorious victory gained
against English "Cawtholic" misrepre-
sentation at Rome. Bishop O'Dwye1
must feel chagrined On the sudden col.
lapse of the excitement and will not De
in such haste again to denounce meet
ings Of Irish Nationalist and make
episcopal threats of condemnation
under pain Of sin. Archbishop Walsh
is a greater prelate and statesman than
Bishop O'Dwyer. When the patriotic
successor of ST. Lawrence O'Toole said
! the decree concerning boycotting and
| the Plan Of Campaign contemplated not
the slightest interference in political
matters, but on the contrary was III
tended to remove obstacles to success ir
the way Of the Irish movement, the
people believed him and felt satisfied
with his explanation.
! The Tory "Cawtholics' are hunlili
ated over the result Of their dishonest
and mischiev0us scheming. The Pope
is displeased at their tactics and will be
cautious in future in giving them an
audience Oh the Irish question. They
have earned the contempt of their CO.
religionists, and stand ON par with the
rankest 0rangelnen in Ulster in theil
enmity against Ireland. IT ever the
! English Tory "Cawtholics'' gain admis
sion into heaven from st. Peter, whose
successor has been bamboozled by them
| it will be difficult matter for Irish
patriots to sit in their vicinity without
giving them bit of their mind upon
their treachery to Ireland. AL the
intrigues cencocted by the enemies OF
Irish nationality will fail and the Green
Isle will soon be rehab1litated in the
robes Of a free nation.

IT is said the Pope will send friendly
letter to the Irish bishops declaring his
constant purpose to abstain from any
course which will check the true inter-
ests of the Irish national movement.
The bishops declare that the Pope's
purpose has been misunderstood, ana
that the rescript is really blessing on
the Irish movement. Great satisfaction
is said to exist in Ireland over the new
aspect of affairs.

PATTING HIM ON THE BACK.

In recent issue under the caption OF
Democratic Dissension" we COM
mented on Mayor Ames' self-interyiew
on foreign-born citizens and said lis
language savored Of Know-nOthingism
and reminded lis of Mayor Hewitt OF
New York. Lest we may have done
the Mayor any injustice we offered him
the use of our columns for an explana.
ton. The American a Know moth.
ing weekly published in Chicago
heartily approves of Mayor Ames' un-
American language. and under the
heading of Another American Mayor
commends him datreringly for his ut.
terances, and then says; "Those lily.
livered souls who have not yet quit
shivering over Mayor Hewitt's temerity
in refusing to fly the green flag oyer the
city hall in New Y ork last March must
have been paraiyzed that there should
come an echo Of Hewitt's startling
words from the lips Of the Mayor Of
Minneapolis"
1t then gives the following amusing
information, which is naturally to be
expected from Know-nothing sheet:
s'This year the gamblers and political
foreigners of Minneapolis undertook to
relegate Mayor Ames to a back seat.
He had not run the city to suit them.
Offices had not been distributed to
foreign-born heelers in the time-hon-
ored ratio of 100 to for the natives.
Therefore it was decided that Mayor
Ames should have his political wings
clipped and that he should be let down
so hard that he would not know what
happened. The foreigners demand all
the Offices in Minneapolis because of
tbeir nationality" We merely quote
this contemplate rag to show our
readers that we were fully justified in
criticising Mayor Ames as we did. The
organ of the Anti.Irish Know nothing
party considers him a second Hewitt
and pats him on the back for his
gratuitous insults to foreign-born
American citizens. The Mayor should
be more careful in the future; to offend
any nationality, Intentionally or other
wise, may prove disastrous to his future
hopes and aspirations.

JUDGE GRESHAM, one of the strong
est Republican candidates for the presl-
dency, was i'll his youth a member of
Know-nothlng lodge. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
was directed particularly against CatL-
olic immigrants, the object Of the Or
ganization being to resist what was as
sumed to be 'sthe insidious policy Of the
Church of Rome" and placing in Office
only native-born Professionals. In re-
ferring to the subject the Chicago Times:
says: Zone reason for the success OF
Buchanan in 1855, and an explanation
of the tenacity with which the Irish
have generally held to the Democratic
party, and, until carried away by desire
for the abolition of slavery, the Germans
likewise held, was the yigor with which
the democracy denounced this proscrip"
ton. Judge Gresham, holding court in
Chicago. the most cosmopolitan city o!
the world, is not likely to entertain the
bigoted views which animated him
thirty-odd years ago, when as rustic
of southern Indiana he joined the
Know nothing party. We boast, moi
without cause, the wealth and popula-
lion of Chicago. What would it be to-
day if Know -nothingism had succeeded
in putting check on immigration from
Europe? The circumscribed metropolis
of an undeveloped, sparsely-populated
northwest. Since 1854 the Catholic
Church, which young Gresham pro-
fessed to fear as menace to American
liberty, has fourished amazingly. Its
hierarchy has grown with it's numbers.
And Gresham, sitting in the circuit
court of the United States, may search
in vain for an overt or an insidious act
of treason by Catholics against the re-
public.

MEETING OF IRISH BISHOPS.

ADublin dispatch of May 80 says that
at meeting of the Archpishops and
Bishops of Ireland, held in Clonliffe
College, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted and ordered to be
published:
.'In obedience to the commands Of the
Holy See and in willing discharge of
the duty thus placed upon us, we desire
to put on public rec ord that the recent
decree Of the Holy Office addressed to
the Irish Hierarchy was intended to af-
feet the domain of morals alone and in
no way to interfere with politics in this
country.
2. Even this very day we have had
from our Holy Father the Pope direct
and unequivocal assurances Of his deep

BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS
TN IRELAND.

The quarterly return of births, mar
riages, and deaths in Ireland, embrac-
ing the STATISTICS for the first three
months OF the year, has been issued by
the Registrac-General. In that period
28,9s6 births and 27,252 deaths were
registered, and as S,376 persons en-
! igrated, the net result is that the pop
| ulation of the country has been reduced
by 6,642, and now stands, as estimated
to the middle of the year, at 4,7e0 ,614.
The Irish birth-rate is 242 per 900
persons living, the English is 3l,4; the
Irish death-rate is 22.s, and the Eng
lish 81. These figures forcibly illustrate
the terrible contrast between the con-
dition Of the masses in England and
that of the bulk Of the population in
Ireland. Speaking Of the health Of the
people, Dr. Grimshaw remarks that tbs
death-rate for the first three months Of
this year is above the average for the
March quarter, and is higher than the
rate for any quarter since the first three
months of the year 1888. This result,
he adds, is due in part to the prevalence
Of measles over an extensive area, and
in part to the heavy mortality from dis
eases of the respiratory system caused
by the inclement weather which pre-
vailed for the greater portion of the
period. Old people, in particular, seem
to have suffered, the number of centen-
arians whose deaths are recorded being
exceptionally large. In some districts
half the deaths were of persons over
sixty years of age. The weekly issue Of
health statistics shows that the average
annual death.rate represented by the
registration in the sixteen principal
town districts was 22.9 per Thousand Of
the population, as against 17.6 in
twenty eight large English towns. 1t
varied considerably, as the following
figures show:-Armagh, 25.s; Belfast,
$50; Cork, A7; Drogheda, IL; Dub
lin, ga; Dundalk, GO; Galway, 2S.5;
Kilkenny, 1921; Limerick, 21.26; Lis.
burn, 3S.7; Londonderry, 1910; Lrrgan,
81; Newry. ISL; Sligo, 1872; Water
ford, 1875; Wexford, 3S.5. In the Dub
lin Registration District the births
registered during the week amounted
to 192-1O6 boys and So girls; and the
deaths to 1919 males and u females.
Nineteen deaths from zymotic disease
were registered, being oyer the mum.
Der for the preceding week and 10 under
the average of the 10Th week of the last
ten years.

and paternal interest in the temporal
welfare Of our country. and that, so far
from intending by this decree to injure
our national movements, it was the
hope and purpose of His Holiness to re-
move those things which he judged
might in the long run be obstacles to
it's advancement and ultimate success.
With these facts thus clearly before
US, apart altogether from his numerous
titles to Our filial affection and respect,
we must warn our people against the
use Of any hasty or irreverent language
with reference to the Sovereign Pontitf
or to any Of the Sacred Congregations
through which he usually issues his de-
crees to the faithful,
while expressing our deep and last
ing gratitude to the leaders of the Ma
tional movement for the signal services
they have rendered to religion and to
the country, we deem it our duty at the
same time to remind them and our
aocks, as we most emphatically do, that
the Roman Pontiff has an inalienable
and divine right to speak with authority
on all questions appertaining to faith
and morals. "MIoHAEL,

Ireland and Free Trade.

The following is an extract from Z.
S. Marshal Campbell's reply to the Will.
mar Argus:
If ireland has not, since 1917, as COM
pared with England since the adoption
of the free trade policy. prospered, it
is we'll known that it is because she has
been held down and robbed by the ra-
pacious absentee landlords, whose only
aim in life seems to be to extract from
the helpless tenantry the uttermost
farthing that by any possibility it is
possible for them to extract from the
soil, and yet Ireland has improved some
what under the free trade policy, as is
evidenced not only by the fact that nc
such famine as you refer to has occurred
since the adoption of free trade, but in
many other ways. Iobject to those
who, like the writer of the article re-
ferred to, seem DESTROYS, whether from
mistaken motives or otherwise, it mat
ters not, of using poor old Ireland i'm
properly to aid them in their attempt
to hand oyer her exiled children in this
country who fled from the landlord
monopolies in their own beloved land
to the misery which is the lamentable
companion of the manufacturer and
mine owner monopolists in this coun-
try.
I prefer to let Daniel O'Connell speak
for Ireland on this question, and this
is what he said III 1874, during the de-
bate on the question of q reduction Of
the then protective tariff taxes Of Eng
land: 1.-THE present law is doubly in
iquitous, as it raises prices and at the
same time diminishes the vent for man
ufactures." He heard Of a man who
complained that nothing could fatten
his horse, although he had tried tobac-
co and twenty other things. A friend
asked him: "Did you ever try oats /?
He wished the legislature would try the
people with bread, and would only
agree to Lord John Russell's (who was
then premier) plan as an installment
Of justice until he could get rid of pro-
lection altogether"
I submit to your readers, .,hether
yourself or the proprietor Of the Irish
World, whose love for the shamrocked
land Of his birth, and desires for the
relief of her suffering, down trodden,
though unconquered people, have ever
been and are to-day made to do duty to
advance his own selfish interests, or
Daniel o. Cornell, is the best source of
authority as to whether protection or
free trade was better for Ireland.
Remember in this connection that
one Of Amerlca's greatest philanthro-
pists, Wendell Phillips says of q cornell
that "the cause OF observation-disclosures
ment owes more to O'Connell than any
other political leader of the past two
centuries" that the English speaking
race to find his equal among the states
men, mustpass by Chatham and Walpole
and classes him with "the few mastery
statesmen the English speaking race
has ever had.''
His great life was wholly and devoted.
" given to the cause of his country,
his every thought and act was to adj
vance the interests of his cenntrymen
and his fellow man everywhere, and if
you or the proprietor Of the Irish World
know what you are writing or talking
about then Daniel Q Cornell did not.
