Forty years ago the chief duty Of an editor, in
view of his limited facilities, was to gather all the
news he could and print it. Intelligence was
transmitted slowly; many occurrences of interest
were never heard of beyond their immediate
locality; ocean mails were long in transit, and the
overthrow of an European dynasty was not known
here until long after the event. Suddenly there
came a change. The railroad and the telegraph
superseded old methods, and the newspaper was
literally flooded with news. The death of a petty
ward politician in San Francisco, the result of a
Presidential election, the accession of a sovereign,
the outbreak of a war, and notice that a shanty had
beenburdenin Texas, allwere hurried overt the wires
into The newspaper offices, and there being >AaAs

Its believed in manv quarters that
the present session will break up in a
wholesale return of the Liberal Union
lists to their first love and there are some
grounds for this belief. The cable of
last Sunday morning reports promin-
ent Liberal Unionist to having said
when speaking of the Home Rule
speech of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, that
he regarded Irish autonomy inevitable
and thou .ht that its precise form
and the moment at which it
is to arrive were the only
points still left open to question. This
he attributes to the utter impos sibility
of the return OF the Liberal u lionists
to their position with regard to Ireland
in which they stood before Mr.. Glad
stone produced his memorable bills.
He considers that the controversy of
the last two years mas made ,ma great
change IN the government Of Ireland
unavoidable, and that the time has
come when acrim ,nious personalities
on beth sides should give place to dis
passionate reasoning ou the admitted
evils of the existing system. This is
the outspoken opinion Of a leading
Liberal Unlo1i and it should afford
much encouragement to the friends of
ireland. Wltn such sentiments pre-
vailing in the ranks of the dissidents
how can Salisbury hope to carry OH a
Governmsnt that has done nothing to
recommend it to the support OF the

that it is in very bad taste, not to say
vulgar, to refer to the particular shade

AN OLD ISLANDER REVIVED.

Mr.. A. Cleveland C,xe is the bishop
of Western New York, or rather is the
bishop of the Episcopal Church when
the Ritua alists are noS practically deny.
ing his authority. From what we can
learn about Mr.. Coke we would jndg
him to be the exact counterpart of G..
L. Morrill,, who, as eur readers are
aware, has been trying TO gain a. little
notoriety by slandering the Catholic
Church. According to the Church PEG
gress, Mr.. Coke has been toying lately
with that elusive and superannutted
slander against the Jesuits, that a
point of their morality rests on the
false principle that good end justifies
immoral meaus of attaining it. But
the Jesuits brought him up with very
sharp turn when they offered one thou
sand dollars payable at Canisius Col
lege for proof from Jesuit literature
that such principle was really main
tained by them. The bishop limo.
Gently turned to the Encyclopedia Brit
annica, vol. xiii, page 65l, where he
found quotations from Jesuit writers,
and an isolated Latin text, 'sthat the
end ju,tifes the means.'' Whereat the
verdant bishop f uttered him self on his
learning and profound sagacity. But
if be referred to the original treatise
by Busenbaum from which the text is
quoted he would have found that the
immoral principle instead of being in
dursed is emphatlcally condemned.
rhe true meaning OF the point is that
where the means are in them selves
good enough aud honest, the honesty OF
the end g YES them additional ind )rse-
ment. Where the end ls lawful the
usual and natural means of attaining
it may be proven to be lawful. Mr.

NOT CATHOLIC DOCTRINE.

The charge has been made by those
who should know better trat Catholics
cannot be faithful citizens of the Re-
public. Our esteemed contemporary,
the Catholic Union and Times, OF Buff
falo, N. Y, replies by quoting from the
great Bishop England's Discourse be-
fore congress upon that very point.
That issue, says the Union and
Times, which was raised even in his
day, was so ably met by the Charleston
prelate, tha 1t We ought to feel thankful
to those who repeat the same charge TO-
day, for giving as the opportunity Of
placing before the public the teaching
of the Church upon the question in
point, so clearly and cogentlY stated by
the greatest Of American ecclesiastics.
1t has been further unctiously pro-
claimed that the Catholic Church is a
bloody prosecutor; that her gospel,
which is that of the Inquisition, has
been propagated by fire and sword; that
the Pope even now longs to exterminate
Protestan55; that if we are not perse
cutors III fact it is simply because we
have not the power, etc, etc.
In replying 70 this charge, it is a
renewed pleasure to invoke again the
masterful statements of the same great
prelate-John England-as he DIS
coursed before the Representative worth
and intelligence Of the Nation in Con-
gress assembled. Hear him:
II would humbly submit, that not one
of these questions could be truly
answered IN the affirmative. The spirit
of religion is that OF peace aud Of mercy,
not that of persecution; yet men of
every creed have prosecuted their
brethren under the pretext Of religion.
The great Founder of our Church, at a
very early period. checked this spirit in
His Apostles When some cities would
not receive His doctrlne, they asked
why He did not call down fire from
heaven to destroy them; but His cain
and. dignified rebuke was, that they
knew not by what spirit they were led;
it was the spirit Of hum n passion as
suming the garb Of heavenly zeal.
II know Of no power given by God to
any man, or to any >dy of men in the
Christian dispensation, to inaict any
penalty Of a temporal description upon
thsiE{ellow men for mere religious err
ror. IF such error shall cause the viola.
ti0n of peace, or shalt interfere with the
well being Of society, tenn ooral govern-
mants. being ablished to prevent such
disorders, have their own inherent right,
but nutsa religious mission, to in
terfere merely for that prevention.

WILLIAM O'BRIEN's RELEASE.

William O'Brien has survived the
conspiracy between Balfour and bad
laws to murder him, and is once more
a free man.--for how long nobody
knows. MIR. O'Brien comes forth from
the prison and the tortures to which he
was subj j.cted a physical wreck. Never

imprisonment will render HIM unfit to.
take any active part III the struggle
which must follow the opening of
Parliament. In the light OF the revela-
tions that have recently been made by
tMr. Blunt it can be easily surmised
what Mr.. B4lfour's object was in sing
ling out Mr.. O'Brien for a victim. If
tine latter's health had boen good he
would in all probability have escaped
the tortures of a British prison. How
eyer, contrary o expectation, he lived
through 1t all, and Balfour has been
foiled in his murderous design.
MIR. q Brien was warmly received in
Dublin On his arrival in that city. he
demonstrated to the Tories that they
could 1mprlson him as long as they had
mind to, but they could not crush out
his spirit. From the balcony of the
Imperial hotel he spoke as follows:
''This has been very happy day for
me, and you, the people of Dublin, who
have always been so kind to me have

thusiasm as marvellous, I believe, as

Tory papers are trying to divert
sympathy from Mr. Wilfred Blunt by
calling him q crank. His career, how
ever. is an emphatic contradiction to
the slander. CraDks are not usually
chosen for important positions in the
diplomatic service. Mr. Blunt has
been secretary Of the BIRTHS, legations
successfully at Athens, Madrid. f. ssj}tss Iss
Vienna and Buenos Ayres. He matass
ried the only daughter of Ada, Count
ess of Loveless, who was the only Child
of Lord Byron. Mr.. Blunt is prom
inent sympathizer with Home Rule in
ireland, aud that is quite enough, in
the eyes of the Torres, to make him q
crank or anything else that is bad.

has broken out among the Protestant
sect known as Methodists. This re-
.ligious denomination does not appear
to have profted by the freedom Of the
institutions and individual liberty to
be found in the United States. The
'.ranters," as they are sometimes
called by the other Protestant sects,
take exception to the thoughtful cour.
tesy shown by President Cleveland to
Pope Leo XIII.s in making His Holi-
ness a jubilee present. At a meeting
held by the Methodist preachers in
Baltimore the other day they censured
President Cleveland for sending His
Holiness copy of the Constitution of
the United States, aud even went so
far as to adopt the following resolu-
tions:
'First-That the preachers meeting
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
Baltimore hereby disclaims all sym
pathy with or concurrence in the act Oi
the President of the United States per-
formed in commemoration OF the Pope's
golden jubilee.
"S-cond-That we, the members Of
the Baltimore preachers meeting of
the Methodist Episcopal church, as
American citizens, enter our 8 'lemn
protest against this new departure of
the President in making such marked
official recognition of a religious hier-
archy, claiming also temporal SOW
ereignty.
"Third-That we regard the act Of
the President as political discourtesy,
if not off~nse to King Hum5ert, whose
sovereignty over a unified Italy the
Pope both antag0nzes and denies.
"Fourth-That in making the FORE
going protest we disavow all feeling Of
aninosity towards, or desire to abridge
either the political Or religious rights
Of our Roman Catholic fellow citizens. "
The descendants Of the lmpertinent
rascals who voted for the adoption of
the above resolutions will have reason
to blush for the intolerance of their
forefathers. President Cleveland un-
doubleday paid for the present out of
his own salary, aud it certainly has
come to nice time Of day when dozen
or so Methodist preachers presume to
dictate to any man What he should do
with his OWE money.
While we are on this subject it might
not be amiss to state that Pope Leo
highly appreciates the Presidents gift.
The Moniteur, the official organ Of the
Vatican, last Thursday published the
text of Cardinal Gibbons letter to the
Pope aud Archbishop Ryan's address
to His Holiness. The Pope in reply to
the letter afrf,r expressing the great
pleasure he felt in receiving President
Cleveland's gift, sad: .s'In America
the people enjoy liberty in the true
sense of the word. Religion there is

pecial affection for America and have,
therefore, approved the scheme for a

STAR NEWS The situation at
Browns Valley. some 80 miles west Of
Morris, Minn., where the people are
out of fuel and nearly out Of provision
with the railroad blockaded, again
teaches the need of foresight In pre-
pairing for winter. Any outlying town
village or neighborhood like that should
devote all its energies in the fall to lay
ing in an ample supply of fuel, no mat
ter how good its railroad connections,
for all roads are liable to be blockaded
for weeks at a time during any winter.
There are a number Of plants such as
the suuf1ower, which make excellent
fuel, and Of which anyone having even
a small piece of ground, could raise an
ample supply, if he has not the means
to purchase a full supply of coal. An
acre Of snElh)wers, ii carefully culti-
waited, will furnish fuel for family for
year. 1t is mainly carelessness and
lack Of forethought that lead people
into suck straits in this climate.
