THAT IRISH UNIVERSITY.

United ireland is not very profuse in
its expressions Of gratitude to Butcher
Balfour for his promised concession
of an Irish University. The following
from Mr.. D Brien's paper no doubt
faithfully rejects the sentiments of the
Irish people in the matter; sOf one
thing we may be certain, Balfour meant
no service to Irish Nationality or Irish
Natlonalists by bis cringiDg confession
of the justice of the Irish Catholics
claim to a Catholic university. His
policy for Ireland was coercion. for
ever and ever, amen. The stick, the
whole stick, and nothing but the whole
stick. was his.re cipe. II be tries bribery
now 1t is because force has failed.
Every concession he makes is confes

coercion and eviction has utterly failed
to shake one stone in the battlements OF
the great organization behind which
the Irish people fight for justice and
freedom His latest device is our old
friend the wooden horse 1t is hoped
that treacherous profession may effect

escape the hatred and !. ntempt which
he has so honestly earned for himself in

ByOEI,LENp SELECTIONS.

The Catholic people Of Winona,
MINI, and Jamestown, OAK, have
cause for congratulatIon. Rev. Father
Cotter who, by virtue of appointment.
becomes bishop Of the former diocese,
and Rev John Stanley of the latter, are
well-known to the clergy and laity of
Minnesota, and their regulations as
priests, faithful and devoted to church
and people, have long since passed be-
yond the boundaries of their own state.
They are toilers in the strictest sense of
the term, as evidenced by the immense
amount of work and great amount of
good each has accomplished in his own
home. By voice and pen their good ad-
vice has reached thousands of homes
throughout the length and breadth of
the Northwest during years Of service
in the priesthood, and always and
everywhere with profit to mankind and
to that creed which they have SO earn

Zardetti, who has been appointed bis

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

IC is somewhat surprising how low
some of our Protestant brethren are
content to make themselves appear
when discussing Catholic or Irish af-
fairs. In anY public cAmovement indica-
tive of the broad policy of religious
freedom that inheres in the Catholic
Church.. they attempt to ignore OF
belittle this important feature rather
than acknowledge itsexistence. If they
are, as they profess to be. SO ardent in
their admiration for the spirit OF s'reli-
gious liberty it is only reasonable that
they should hail every evidence of its
development with acclamations of de-
light. But they do nothing of the KIND.
When it is so manifest in the drift OF
Catholic events that they cannot. blind
themselves to its presence. they either
ignore it altogether or attempt to make
it appear that it is unreal. This is
neither manly or honest. The spirit OF
the highest freedom in this country
pertaining to religion is always ad-
mira ble, and to undertake to bellttle
it or its followers betrays ignorance
and bigotry too obscure to admit
Of it's appreciation. But this evidently
is not the only complaint some of ou1
amiable and god-fearing and patriotic
neighbors have to make. They assert
that the Irish Catholics never speak of
Professionalism but with ''sneers and
contempt We feel that the complaint
is just, but the only apology we can
make for ourselves and our benight-
ed brethren is that we caught the
"epidemic' from Protestant religious
blgots.o Being sneered at for our
religious p-opensities, we allow our
selves to sneer in turp. However, we
have one virtue with regard to our Pro
testant brethren which they, with some
exceptions, sadly lack. We have never
through Ignorance or malice lied
about them; we have given them credit
for what truth they believed. and ouI
sneers have sprung from our contempt
for their errors. rather than for their
shortcomings. Both through ignorance
and through malice Protestants have
lied about us and misrepresented our
doctrines, have never credited us with
more than our defects, and have tho
roughly hated, not only our opinions,
but our blood. Why should they com
plain over a weak dose of their own
medicine?

A FAITHFUL SERVANTS REWARD

The hearts of the Catholic people OF
Minneapolis were gladdened during the
past week by the all-important an
nouncement that the ever jealous and
faithful pastor of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception had been ap
pointed Bishop Of the diocese of Du-
luth. II was jhst recognition Of an
earnest, indefatigable priest whose life
here has been one of incessant toll ard
whose efforts in behalf of Christianity
have been crowned with magnif fcent
and lasting monuments. His Grace is
comparatively young man, being but
forty five years Of age. He has been
Iaboring in his religious profession In
this city since the year 1869, and during
that period has been identified with
almost every movement having for It's
aim and object the elevation Of society,
irrespective Of creed, religion or nation
ality. He has built up by twenty years
of hard and uphill work this metropo-
Titan parish of the great Northwest, and
will depart from It with a record that
will remain ever fresh and green in the
memory of those to whom he has for SO
many years endeared himself. and ad-
ministeTed the divine teachings OF the
gospel of Jesus Christ. Through his
zeal and anxiety for the prosperity ard
welfare of his fellowmen the Crusaders,
hn Nnt Mnf ~, <L1
Father Mathew Cadets were first or
ganized in this city, and their work has
been productive of many good results
through his untiring efforts. Bishop
McGolrick never allows religious diff
ferences or prejudices to separate him
from those whom he is capable of as
sisting in the prosecution of any good
undertaking. and is always found
shoulder to shoulder with his neIghbor
mankind Of every description, even
those who differ with INN in religion"
-on matters OF charity and public
morals. and we are confident that we
are not assuming too much when we
assert that the rev. gentleman's many
friends and parishioners congratulate
him on his elevation to the exalted
office. but all will regret to see him
leave Minneapolis. His absence will
be felt In many circles throughout this
city, and his place as that of jealous.
energetic hard working priest. with the
welfare of all classes of society at heart.
will be difficult position to fill.
