Some years ago Andrew Carnegie rem
dered himself very popular with the
American people by refusing to contri-
butte to the fund for the celebration of
Queen Victoria's jubilee. He was then
enjoying his honeymoon in the Isle OF
Wight and wrote to the treasurer of the
jubilee fund saying that as an American
citizen and very staunch Republican
he would stultify himself were he to aid
in celebrating the reign of any heredi-
tary ruler. He administered sharp re-
buke to the Anglo-maniacs and said he
was at loss to understand why any
naturalized American citizen should
celebrate the reign of any European
monarch, and if they we're not loyal
Americans and true to the land Of their
adoption it was open to them at all times
to leave it's shores and find homes else
where. He went further and declared it
was in bad taste for aliens residing in
this country to parade their loyalty and
allegiance to foreign ruler whose insti-
buttons we're vitality opposed to those OF
the land in which they dwell and pros
per. He wound up by saying that the
proper day for them to celebrate in New
York was the Fourth Of July.

AN Englishman writes to London
paper to the effect that the light-hearted
Irishman exists no more in the land OF
the, shamrock He states as fact that
the gaye,y, vivacity sparkling wit and
boisterous mirth of the Irishman have
vanished and that he is now colder than
the Englishman. An old politician to
whom he deplored the great decline in
Irish wit and humor attributed the
transformation to present politics. The
Young Irelanders appealed to every in
stinct that kept alive the national char
acteristics, but the Parnell movement
has achieved the destruction OF wit, hui
NOR and romance. Ireland, he says,
may now be described as the most mel
ancholy land on the face Of the earth,
and as for Irish laughter, that has def
nitely taken refuge in Amerlca.

THE FORCE BILL.

Besides the tariff there is another great
issue in the present campaign and that is
the Force bill. The Republicans declare
that they will never relax their efforts
until such bill is secured, so that the
black people of the South can have free
ballot and a. fair count. What is the
Force bill? Briefly, it gives the United
States circuit court judges the power of
appointing election officers who can en-.
ploy deputy marshals at IS per day for a
number of days prior to each congress
sional election, and it authorizes the use
of soldiers at the polls to preserve the
peace. The Judges shall have the power
of appointing canvassing board who
shall certify whom the people have
elected to Congress, and the Clerk of the
III ,use of Representatives shall place on
the roll of members-elect the names OF
the persons holding the certificates of
such canvassing board, SO that they may
participate in the organization of the
Mouse. The bill empowers federal ofic-
ers to supervise and control registration
ri authorizes them to make personal
Ga avass from house to house, their ex-
peases to be paid out of the federal
treasury from permanent fund set
aside for that purpose. The tariff bill
RODS the people of their money for the
benefit of favored class, and the Force
bill robs them Of their political rights to
keep the party Of monopoly in the
ascendant.

PETITIONS to unseat members in the
British parliament are the order Of the
day. The Liberals will try to Dust Bal
four and other Tory members on the
charge of corrupting the voters. The
Irish Nationalists are attempting to I'M
seat William Redmond from the repre-
sentation Of East Glare on the ground
OF intimidation, and Pierce Mahoney will
contest North Meath against Michael
Davitt because Of prlestly dictation.
Dalton, the brothsr-in-law of the Red
monds, has filed a complaint against Mr..
Fullam, who beat him in South Meath,
on the ground of undue clerical influ-
ence. Bishop Nulty will figure prom
inently in the last case as he issued

GROVER CLEvRLAND's mother was an
Irish American woman named Anne
Neal. She married. Richard Falley
Cleveland in Baltimore, in 1929, the year
in which O'Connellf gained Catholic
Emancipation. Eight years later Grover
was born in Essex county, New Jersey,
at the parsonage Of Rev. Stephen Gro
YER, who became his godfather and from
whom he got his Christian name. His
mother died in 1882, the same year that
her son was elected by an unprecedented
majority the governor of the Empire
State. Grover Cleveland, like many
other great men, attributes his success
in life to good mother.

The most offensive man in the British
parliament is Keir Hardie, the London
labor representative who was elected by
the aid Of Andrew Carnegie's money.
The custom of the house is that mem.
Der can wear his hat while sitting down
but is not permitted to rise, walk or
stand without taking it off. The "first
gentlemen of Europe" were shocked
when they observed Hardie disregarding
this time-honored custom. When TAX
ing the oath Of Office he kept his fantas-
tic deer-skin hat on his pate and the
speaker was obliged to request him to
remove it. he reluctantly did so and
then Immediately put it on again. He

A SCANDINAVIAN paper tells as follows
how q Norwegian changed his name:
We know Norwegian whose name is
Ole A. Ry-a name Of which no man
need be ashamed in the wide world
Can any one guess what he did with his
name? For a number of years he has
written it O'Leary. Ole A. Ry is like
OleARy, and when we write L instead Of
! and ar instead of AR, and put an apos-
trophe between O and l. we get O'Leary
"a genuine Irish name;, but we suppose
he will call himself Jim or Pat to agree
with the rest of the name.

SIR GARNET WoIeELEY, the: COM
mander of the British forces in Ireland,
recently told Scotchman in private
letter which was made public that there
was never kingdom of Ireland and
that no man ever ruled there until 1--WE"
conquered it. John F. Finerty, COM
menting on the bare-faced assertion Of
the Anglo Irishman, forcibly says: Gene
raj Lord Wolseley has fought the Rus
slams, the Indians, the Ashantees and
the Arabs, but he cannot whistle down
Irish history merely because he lost an
eye in the Crimea and captured King
Coffee's umbrella at Coomassie. Neither
can he sugar-coat his prejudice by blar-
neying the wretched Irish devils, who
take the Saxon shilling and put on Eng
lands monkey jacket. Ireland's history
is as the Rock of Ages, that storms can
not affect or earthquakes overthrow.
Its heroic lneaments stand boldly forth
in rath and cromleach, round tower of
the fire-worshipper and altar of the
Druid. It survives in the remains of
Emhain and Cruchan, of Kinkora and Of
Tara, in her speech and music and the
constancy of her faith. Gold and steel
have been used to obliterate it, but Ire
land has spurned the one and defed the
other. AS the gospels of the EyanRe-
lists light the splendid pathway Of the
Christian world, 50 do the annals Of Ire
land cheer the night Of her long bond
age, and, in the words Of one Of her elo-
quent sons, proclaim that elderly, like
the light Of stars long hidden, and for cen
turies travelling, will reach her shores at
last.

he still wears his hat whether sitting or

to teach him the proprieties is to fire him

Walter S, Elliott, the distinguished
Paulist and editor of the Catholic

ANOTHER cherished idol has been
dragged from it's high pedestal, and an
other inspiring heroine of song and story
humbled in the dust of discredit and re-
pudiation. "Jessie of Lucknow" the
Highland lassie who, in the sorely be-
sieged city during the Indian mutiny.
heard the pibroch of her clan afar off
above the din OF battle and long before
any others could be made to hear it, and
who cheered her companions, just on the
point OF surrender, to renewed exertions
by her thrilling exclamation: "The
Campbells are comm! Oh, dinna ye hear
it? dinna ye hear lt?'' is proved by the
Scots themselves to be simply pleas
ant myth. The matter has been thor
oughly investigated, according to the
New York Sun, and testimony from
many Of the survivors of the famous
siege has been taken. It is proved that
there was no such person as Jessie
Brown in the Residency, and that, any
way, it was impossible to hear the bag
pipes at the distance declared. Nothing
but the roaring Of guns could be heard
anywhere in the city, and the pipes of
the Highlanders we're only heard long
after the city was practically relieved
and when the pipers were nearing the
Bailey guard gate. More than this, the
story has been traced to it's origin in q
little romance written by French gov
erness at Jersey for the use of her pu-
pills, and followed through it's journey
ings until it reached the London Times
on Dec. ~, 1857. It is sad and shame,
but Jessie has been sent to join William
Tell and the other dethroned gods and
goddesses, and the Scots gave her up
finally and publicly couple of weeks
ago.

JOHN V. CLARKE, the president Ut the
Hibernian Bank, of Chicago, for twenty
years, died in that city last Monday at
the age of 81. He was born at Union
Hall, county of Cork, Ireland, and was
the son of William Clarke, man OF ex-
tensive means who met with financial
reverees and emjgrated to Canada with
his family when his son was IL years old.
The Hibernian Bank. for many years has
been the financial head quarters OF the
Irish-Americans in Chicago and Mr..
Clarke was one of the most influential
Irishmen of the city. Six years ago he
gained considerable fame by his connec-
ton with the Irish land league of Amer
lea. He was treasurer of the Chicago
branch and sent large sums of money to
Ireland to relieve the victims of land
lordism. He was recognized by both
Parnell and Davitt as one of the most
active leaders of the relief movement in
America. The deceased left wife and
four sons and three daughters in aff1uent
circumstances. One of the daughters is
married to Mayor Washburne and the
fact that she is a Catholic of Irish par
entage caused the British-American
anti Catholic element to. oppose his cleo
ton. The Irish American voters, who
are mostly Democrats, cast their ballots
for the Republican candidate and elected
him by triumphant majority in spite of
the bigots. Mr.. Clarke was strictly a
business man who never entered politics
and when his SON in-law was candidate
for mayor he took no part in the com
test. BE was an exemplary Catholic and
was buried from the Holy Name Cathe-
dral where the funeral obsequies were
attended only by the relatives and imme-
date friends of the family.

MORR1LL'S MoUTHINGS.

Last Sunday ''tO Lhghtly MOrr1ll en-
tertained his flock by dissertation on
Columbus and worked himself into a
fever heat over the Pope's letter eulo-
giving Columbus as the discoverer of
America. He pronounced the Pope's let
ter as "vague, verbose and vapld' and
said Columbus did not discover America
ut all. He then attacked the moral char
acter of Columbus and demonstrated to
his own satisfaction that he was worth
less yagabond without particle OF re-
ieious feeling who kicked his wife and
then deserted her. He was the very es-
sence of depravity and RIGHTEOUSNESS and
a cruel tyrant who introduced slavery
into the New World. He was an adven-
turer whose discovery was not prompted
by desire to advance the cause OF re-
ligion; he was actuated by base motives
and left Spain for the money given him
by Ferdinand and Isabella. It mattered
not to "Go Lightly that he had no foun-
dation for his charges against Columbus;
he wanted to preach sensational dis
course to his Orange flock and he did it
unblushingly without regard to the
facts of history. Lief Erickson is the
man to whom 'Go Lightly" is willing to
give all the credit for the discovery of
America. Every one knows that the
Norsemen had visited the eastern coast
of North America several centuries be-
fore the Columbian discovery, and no one
disputes the fact. Their expedition, how.
ever, was almost totally unknown to Euro
peans and no benefits resulted from it.
Four centuries before the coming of the
Norsemen the Irish had landed on the
shores Of America, and If the first dis
coverer is to receive the greatest glory,
st. Brendan and not Lief Erickson is
entitled to it. $50 Lightly" is not will
ling that the freshman should receive
any credit, as he was Catholic; he pre-
fars Lief Erickson to either St. Brendan
or Columbus for the simple reason that he
thinks the Scandinavian was pagan.
Ha knows he could not have been Prot
estant, for there was no Protestant in ex-
iatence at that time, but nevertheless he
prefers him to Columbus or st. Brendan,
