GLADsTONE's 82nd BIRTHDAY.

The "Grand Old Man" celebrated his
eighty second birthday last Tuesday.
He was in Florence, Italy, at the time,
and the wires leading to that beautiful
city were crowded all day with messages
of congratulation. Queen Victoria did
not forget her ex- premier, and early in
the day wired her best wishes. Lord
Salisbury and other leading Tories did
not forget MIR. Gladstone. 1t was a
good thing that the ex.premier was not
at his home at Hawarden on that day,
for he would have been physically un-
able to have met all those who would
have called TO congratulate him. The
cable tells us that he enjoyed the day
very much, and that as each message
was read him he smiled in satisfaction
of the conviction that he was the centre
of so much thought throughout the civ
ilized world. America did not forget
him on that occasion. Hundreds Of tel.
egrsms were sent Mr., Gladstone by
prominent Americans who recognize in
him the leading man of liberal thought
in England. All lovers Of liberty re-
ioice to know that the Liberal leader is
enjoying the best Of health, and is pre-
pairing himself for the parliamentary
session which opens after the holidays.
The friends of Ireland are particularly
happy to think that the staunohest friend
of that country in England, though 60
old, is hale and hearty. We wish him
many years Of good health and happi-
ness. May he live to see the greatest
object of his life contaminated Home
Rule tor Ireland.

the Parnellit es new lease of life, so to
speak; it will stimulate them to contest
other seats, which, if their leader had
been defeated, would unquestionably
return home rulers. The cable tells us
that the Tories are much elated over
Redmond's victory. No doubt they are,
for they will have good reason to refuse
to consider any measure for Ireland
benefit so long as the Irish people are
divided into factions as they are now.
The cause that Redmond is fighting for,
died with Mr.. Parnell. and it should be
allowed to remain dead. Ireland is not
gong to benefit by the Redmond vic
tory; on the contrary this victory has
been sad blow to Ireland, and it will
be long time before the home of our
fathers RECEIVERS from the effects of the
Waterford election. We cannot UNDER
stand how the men of Waterford forgot
themselves so far as to vote against Mi
chael Davitt. No man in Ireland today
ever worked harder for Irish indepen-
dence than did Michael Davitt.; no man
would more readily sacrifice his all, yea,
his life, if it we're necessary, for Ire
lands freedom, than would this man
whom the voters of Waterford defeated
for seat in parliament. It was he
who organized the Land League that
did SO much to bring the Irish people to
a sense of their condition. He gave his
time and his money to further Ireland
cause, and spoke many word of cheer
to rack-rented tenantry when Red
mond was practically unknown. The
Tories were particularly anxious to see
him defeated, and no doubt contributed
money to accomplish That defeat. He
was Fen1an when that organization
was strong in Ireland, and for this he
wore convict's garb, but he loved Ire
land, and that is why he suffered for her
sake No wonder that the Tories are
elated over his defeat. He is a true
Irishman, and Waterford will yet drop
tears OF sorrow for the injustice she has
done him. Had he been successful we
have every reason to believe that the
d1scordant elements in Irish politics
would have been eliminated, and the
warning faction would have been brought
together, but for the present We cannot
hope for any change for the better there.
II The Irish people fail to secure home
rule after the next general election they
must not blame anyone but themselves

THE young men who were afraid of
being drafted to fight Chill csn breathe

recall his iron clads. If the state de-

correspondent of the London Times
would be put on the superannuated list
of that paper. The "Thunderer's" rep

MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL: The defeat
of Michael Davitt at the Waterford
election by John Redmond Is great
misfortune, as the victory will strength

long the black thorn and boulder bust

SIR EDWIN ARNOLD spent Christmas
in the Twin cities. Of course such
distinguished scholar was interviewed
by score Or more of newspaper men.
Speaking of English politics he said:
''Lord Salisbury's administration has
been very good. 1t has covered itself
with distinction and the people will ap-
prove it. You must understand that
while 1 am a personal friend Of Mr..
Gladstone, am his opponent politically.
We separated On the Russo-Turkish
war question. The Home Rule ques-
ton put Mr.. Gladstone and myself still
further apart. Home Rule as the Irish
desire it would mean civil war in Ire
land within six weeks. But this matter
is now of little Importance. The Irish
question died with Parnell and think
it died happily. 1t will berevived some
time. but not in this century. Some
time there NAV arise genius who can
bring the. Irish question to the front
again and keep it among the live issues
of the day as Parnell did. Much now
depends on Mr.. Gladstone. He is 50
years old and it is hard work to lead a
political campaign. III he lives and re-
tajns his health it is difficult to tell
what might happen In the next cleo
ton. If he should die, then all will be
changed" Like all the other members
Of the Conservative party Sir Edwin is
opposed to granting Home Rule to Ire
land. He does not say so, but that is
the legitimate inference to be drawn
from what he says. He says that Home
Rule would precipitate civil war in Ire
land. By that he means that the Tory
minority in Ireland would seek to over
throw the majority as they are the only
people in Ireland VINO are opposed to
Home Rule. We do not believe that
the cause of Ireland died with Parnell
Sir Edwin, if he lives, will see great
overturninR in English polirlcs next
election, and he will also see parliament
pass Home Rule measure. Much. az
he says. depends on Mr.. Gladstone. but
if the grand old man. lives to see 4
new parliament, Ireland will be granted
Home Rule, Sir Edwin to the contrary.

BOsToN PILoT:-The English and
Russians are almost if not quite in col
lision on the Pamir frontier. The for
mer last week captured little fort
from the trlbesmen Of the hills, and say
that the enemy was equipped with BUS
sian firearms. It is suspected that
Russian soldiers are not far behind
those weapons, as the Cars agents
have been very active in that region
during the past autumn. The Jingos
in London indulge in tall talk over the
situation, and the younger military
men are anxious for war. The British
officers engaged in the recent sklrmish
'sperrorned prodlgies of valor,' of
course. They always do in such cases,
but we notice that all the killed on their
side were SepoYs. Victoria crosses will
be ladled out to the European survivors,
as usual, and the world will be FORUM
ate if several new books are not written
on the strength OF the victory. British
self glorifcation increases in inverse
ratio to British heroism.

CHURCH PRoGREss:-Englan and
Russia have already barked at each
other in the far East. But we scarce
think this will precipitate the great i'm
pending conflict. Millions of men
under arms waiting but the word move,
and Europe will shake with a thread
When the conflict shall have been fin.
ished. the face of Europe will present
quite another appearance.

A NEW departure IN the inspection of
Canadian cattle at the frontier ports of
the United States has been made by
order of the secretary Of agriculture.
1t is that no inspection is necessary
when such cattle are under seal and for
direct shipment to Canada via the
United States. This Will save the ship
pers great deal of unnecessary trouble.
and the custom officials will not object
either, as they are thereby relieved Of a
great deal of work.

MAYOR WINSTON was confined to his
home for few days during the week
by a bad cold. If he gave less time to
the duties of his Office and did not work
80 hard he would probably feel better.
He spends more time in his Office at the
city hall every day than some of his
predecessors spent there in a whole
week when they were in Office. But the
mayor is a worker, and cannot be idle.
We hope to see him around again IN a
short time.

THE grip is said to be lowering

the Northwest can get along very we'll
without it.

This knowledge has been communicated
to the navy department. and as a result,
Secretary Tracy and Assistant Secre-
tary Solely spent the day at the depart

United States war vessels in Valparaiso

sistant Secretary Solely when asked why

reports from San Francisco that AID.

going tug for the transportation of sup
plies to Chill, and added that this as
we'll as other recent accounts of the de-

and that for the sake of her one-half

CATHOLIC Union and Times: What
has become of Mr.. Jackson, Balfour's
successor as Chief Secretary for Ireland?
He is never heard of. Possibly he is

Rule is being vigorously carried out by
the suicidal factions in that unhappy
country.

REV. NIORBY CORRECTED.

tion is at loss to know what to do next
in their unwarranted attacks upon the
members of the Earibault and Saltwater
boards of education. When the trans
fer of the parochial schools OF these
towns to their respective boards Of edu-
cation was made. the ministers of Min
neapolis thought they saw something
wrong, and after partially investigating
the workings Of the new system, they
thought there was good foundation Oh
which they could erect handsome pro-
test. They met. and talked over the
transfer, and told what someone else
told them they heard. and thus the
good 90 work went on. Last week a
Mr.. Mott OF Fariba1lt, wrote to the Plo-
ness Press, letter denying a number
of the statements made by these minis
ters and by way of advice sold them to
let the Faribaalt school board, schools
and teachers alone. The Rev. MIR,
Morey, who is evidently looking for not
oriety, thought the subject required more
thought from his standpoint, and de-
clared that the Hill school in Saltwater

If so why. not blame the teachers OF
other public schools from which Catho-
lie pupils were absent? 1t has been al
ways the custom OF the public schools of
Saltwater to excuse from attendance on
Catholic Church festivals, Catholic chill
dren. No doubt Rev. MIR. MoreY con.
siders such custom as wrong because
it seemingly gives privilege to Catho-

The Battle of Mt. Desert.


The following is bit of history which [
learned from an old resident of that noted
island, and which, think, has never before
been written Early in the year of 1912,
when the British men-of- war were ravag-
Ing the coast of New England. one was
ordered to the coast of Maine. They en-.
tered all the harbors in the eastern part of
the state, destroyed and carried off what
ever pleased the piratical nature of the
commander. The inhabitants along the
coast were apprsed of her presence, and
every means was Iesorted to, to hide their
property from the robbers. On the south
ern side Of Mt. Desert, small schooner
was carried far up cove, where no vessel
of war could enter.
On passing by the island, one day, this
war vessel discovered her masts, as it ap-
peared, far up amongst the trees. She at
once hove TO, and an armed barge was sent
to destroy her The inhabitants were
aware of what the object was, and dozen
old ilnt-locks were soon resting over the
riven rocks, that bounded the narrow
creek where the little vessel lay. One of
their number was stationed on point a
half mile below. and as the barge ap-
preached warned the men of their danger
and told them that death awaited them if
they attempted to 90 10 the head of the
creek. But with ieep curse upon the
cowardly Yankee they proceeded on. They
saw nothing, they heard nothing; but as
they came to point where the creek some
what narrowed, they suddenly heard
voice which seemed to rend the very hills,
Give it to them, give it to them" and at
the same instant, nearly dozen ounce bul-
lets plunged into the barge Every oar
dropped On one side; and there were oare-
ly enough left to turn about and row
10 the vessel. The next morning she was
gone and for aught know no English
man has ever dared to place his foot on
Mt. Desert Island since
