then started back to Mcpherson Hall to

BOSTON PILOT: 1t is not easy at this
distance to comprehend the ferceness
of party strife in Ireland, but it is per-
fectly easy to comprehend the folly and
the shame of it. sThe cable dispatches
are doubtless colored by the English
news agents who delight in magnyfying
every Irish street sQuabble into a riot.
1t is in the same spirit that the Gamer
lean news" in most English papers is
confined almost exclusively to accounts
OF crime and lawlessness, with occa-
sional startling stories commercial or
political rascality. But making all due
discount for the distortions of the cable
man, enough remains to show that Mr..
Parnell's death has not vet closed the
breach between his followers and their
opponents. The Cork election may set
tie the matter. We trust it will, and If
it should also ''settle'' the political car
eer of some of the violent partisans on
both sides, Ireland and the rest of the
world would have reason to be thankful.

RECENT reports from Washington
indicate strong feeling among Eastern
Republicans in favor of holding the
national convention IN Minneapolis.
1t is almost definitely settled that Chi
cago cannot get it under any considera-
tion and that the only real live COM
petitor that Minneapolis has got is Gin
clnnatl. Cincinnati, however, has not
got the accommodations that Mime
apolis and St. Paul have, and the largest
hall in the city IS too small for an Or
binary city convention. st. Paul Re-
pnblicans are best1rring themselves in
good shape, and large delegation from
that city will leave for Washington in
a few days to get the convention for the
Northwest if possible. All the North
western states are in favor of Mime
apolis and will do all they can to bring
the coveted plum West. New York
has entered the race, and will do every
thing possible to defeat Chicago. The
national committeeman think that CHI
cago has enough in the Worlds Fair,
and that the idea of holding the conYen
ton there is for that reason out of the
question. It will be a great boom for
Minneapolis and St. Paul if they get
this convention. 1t will bring Ihous-
ands of people here, and many of them
will no doubt make up their minds to
stay here when they see what a beauti-
full pair of twins we have.

the impossible, then it remains for all
friends of Ireland to cripple his resources
as much as possible. It is said that this
discordant element in Irish politics is
getting pecunia1y assistance from the
Tories, but of course that is all mere
rumor. We know that the Tories are
much pleased over the disturbances pre-
ceding the Cork election, and we also
know that it would be to their interests
to keep up this dissatisfaction in the
Irish pasty, as it would make splendid
campaign literature, if we may SO term
it, for distribution among the English
voters. It was painfully evident that
the cablegrams received on this side of
the Atlantic were gross exaggerations,
if not complete misrepresentation, of
what occurred in Cork during the few
days preceding the election. No doubt
there were disturbances of a minor ma
ture as there are at all elections even in
enlightened America. When the writer
dished up such stuff as the poor and
infrm were escorted to the polls by the
priests,'' or words to that effect, he
spoiled it ali. Every one, who knows
anything about the qualifications Of a
voter in Ireland, knows that the Irish
people have not got universal suffrage,
and that the poor are therefore not quail
fled to vote. But that made no differ
ence to the man who dictated the Ameri-
can cablegrams. He thought Americans
did not know shat, and thinking so,
made his messages as sensational as pos
sible. The people Of ireland should
come to their senses at orce--that por-
ton Of them that refuses to listen to
common sense. England will make the
most of every little thing that turns up
to Ireland's discredlt. Redmond ard
his handful OF followers should not con-
tinue any longer the war Of obstruction
that is now raging.

TIE POPE,s CONDITION,

a cablegram from Rome to the Ameri-
can Associated Press, under da'e of No
vember z, says: lit is announced TO- day
that the Pope is suffering from cerebral
anaemia due to old age. His condition
causes grave apprehension. His hol1-
ness recently remarked to Cardinal
Lsngenieux, archbishop of Rheims, that
he thought the end Of his life was near
Later reports from Rome do not confirm
this, and hence we are led to believe that
while His Holiness may be slightly in
disposed he is not dangerously Ill. The
italian government is giving him no end
Of trouble, and particularly since the dis.
turbances created by the French pilgrims
the government has been more hostile
towards the poor prisoner in the Vatican
He was held responsible for what these
pilgrims did, and while he openly de-
plored their conduct, the enemies of
Leo XIII. kept right on. This particu-
lar bad feeling was gradually dying out,
until Marquis Rudini, whose name Is SO
familiar to all Americans, made most
unwarranted attack on the Pope. Here
is sboft extract from speech recently
delivered by him; "We have in our

TIE Cork election turned out just
right. Flavln, the Mccarthy candidate,
defeated Redmond by some l,500 votes.
We hope Redmond will now see the
folly Of his way, and stop preaching dis
cord. But we are afraid he will not, as
he has already threatened to contest
Flavin's election on the grounds of un-
due clerical influence being used in
Flavln's favor. The Tories would no
doubt favor Redmond, and thus spread
