DEArH OF REV. JAMES OROKE.

The New York Sun of Tuesday notes
1he death Of Rev. Father James Croke.
brother of Archbishop Croke OF Ire
land. which took place at st Vincent's
hospital in that city on the 9TH inst.
Father Croke made his preparatory
studies in Ireland. He studied philos-
ophy and theology in Paris, was or.
dained priest there in 1850, and vol
unteered to go as missionary to Oregon.
When he arrived in San Francisco the
cholera was raging, and, although
Father Croke was not. ordained for that
mission, he Immediately offered his SER
vices to the Administrator OF the do
.cese for the relief Of the plague-stricken
citizens. For three months he devoted
his energies to this work; then went to
the wilds Of Oregon to preach to the
Indians and administer to the few
christians scattered in that Territory.
After years Of labor and exposure his
health broke down, and he was sent by
his Bishop to San Francisco to recuper-
ate. Father Croke was named rector

at has been ascertained from re-
ligious authority" says the Memphis
Catholic, that Judge Estes, of the Cir.
cult court refused to allow Catholics to
serve as jurvmen in the case Of Right
Rev. Bishop Rademacer vs.. Louisville,
New Orleans and Texas Railroad for
damages to the property of St. Joseph's
church. Isn't this a unique mode of
procedure ? Isn't it discrimination
unwarranted by the laws of Tennessee?
1t is the first case we have ever known
in Memphis, wherein citizen, other
wise eligible as Juror, was disqualified
on account of his religious belief. Does
Judge Eestes believe that Catholic
would prove false to his oath because q
prelate of that Church was one of the
litigants Could not the attorney Of
the bishop raise the same point against
Protestant juries deciding the case for
a Protestant company2''

THE IRISH STANDARD: SATURDAY. JANUARY II.

Poor old Hewitt We will hear no
more of him. His term as Mayor of
New York expired on New Years
day, and Hugh J. Grant is now chief
executive of the metropolis. IT'S we'll.
Hewitt's last act was to reject Mr..
Arthur Perry as tax commissioner of
that city on account of his CatholicltY.
We acknowledge Hewitt's consistency,
such as it is, but it is of a kind that
should forever keep him out Of public
life-and all others of his ilk, of what
ever party. Any man posse ssed of vir-
tue and honor in this country should
not be rejected for position on account
of his creed or nationality. Vale,
Hewitt.

kriest- Hunting in Ireland.

Balfour seems determined to main
tain his reputation as a worthy sue.
cessor of the infamous Castlereagh,
He Is doing all that dlabolical ingenu-
itY can suggest to goad the Irish peo-
pie to open rebellion. For the single
week ending december s moro than
fifty freshmen were arrested and i'm
prisoned under the Coercion act. But
it is as priest-hunter that Balfour
rivals his predecessor. The latest vic
tim of Balfourism is the Rev. Joseph
Flood, T. F., one of the gentlest priests
in the diocese IF Meath. Father Flood
is the parish priest of Kingscourt,
where his efforts in the cause of re-
ligion and justice have borne golden
fruits. Yet the good priest Is dragged
into court on the charge of intimida-
ting woman, who, one witness swore.
had an evil reputation in the parish.

TILE Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland
has issued an address TO the Orange
men in which it is said that "a patriotic
Government and a fearless Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland have made life bear
able in places where evil persons had
tortured and murdered husbands and
fathers because Of their resistance to a
hellish combination which wrote it's
DEGREES in blood" This has the regular
old-time Orange ring. 1t is evident
enough from their utterances that re-
formation is not part Of their creed.
Their undivided influence now, as all
ways, is with the landlord against the
tenant.

WE confess, says United Ireland, we
are churiish enough to grudge the Co.
ercionists even their diminutive tri-
umph at Colchester. It shows that
there are few peaks of high and drv
old Toryism that the flowing tide has
not yet reached, and the Coercionists
naturally are making as much fuss
about their $40 Increased majority as a
shipwrecked mariner. escaped from the
food. We would not grudge them
half-a-dozen such successes, if they
would only tempt them to take heart of
grace and try their fate in general

"All we want" said Mr.. Parnell, els
a general election. l don't think any
rational man has any doubt that we
should hove the same majority now as
the united Liberal party had in the par
lament Of 1885. Then, if I remember
the figures rightly, the Liberals had a
majority of two over us and the Tories
combined. We were SO, which makes
the Liberal majority over the Tories
alone IS. Add our Sc. [ think we
shall remain pretty much where we
are, and there she uld be majority of
liza for Home Rule That would be a
majority quite sufficient to intimidate
the house of lords against rejecting the
Home Rule bill. Besides. as you know,
smaller majority would quite suffice. D
"To sum up then, Mr.. Parnell. your
v1ew of the future is hopeful? :"
"Quite hopeful said Mr.. Parnell.
sour only obstacle is the sense Of the
Tories, and still more of the Unionlsts
that the country il against them, and

"Have you formed any idea as to
when the general election will come ~

things turning up IN vast empire like
