CONCERNING the word Roman. and
Romish Mr.. w. J. Mcdonnell, of Toronto.
writes: These words both derived from
"Rome," are not synonymous: as can, I
think, be shown by examples Every
body has heard of the Roman Catholic
Church" in fact the designation is .recop-
nized by Act of Parliament, but whoever
speaks of the Romish Catholic Church?
Again we hear Of Romish practices.
Romish tendencies, but approximations.
''Tendimus in Latium," that is, we have
not yet arrived there. The words Roman
and Romish are often used indiferently
by people who know no better and mean
no harm, but never knew Catholic
who did not consider the quasi hybrid
epithet Romish as an insult. Even lexi-
cographers are beginning to view it in
the same light. The Rev. James Stor-
mouth in his Dictionary of the English
language (Harpers, N. Y, 1885, defines
Romish as "a term Extensively applied to
the adherents of the Roman Catholic
Church" 1t may not be generally
known that John Walker died Catho~
lie; we need not therefore be. surprised
that IN the last edition of his dictionary
lPeter Brown, Edinburg 1889, the word
Romish does not appear. The very
sound of those Kissing epithets, Roman
ist, Romanish, Papist, Romish, &C., indi-
Gates their origin; they are the brood Of
the old serpent, and as such should be
estchewed by every Christian and rele-
gated to the place whence they emanated
and whore they belong. .

DURING the present year, says the St.
Johns University Record, Catholics have
an opportunity OF exhibiting their rela-
tion and connection with the early his
tory of this country. The 18th day of
October of this year is the actual date OF
the four hundreth anniversary of the
landing of Columbus on American soil
That day, therefore, ought to be made q
great national Catholic festival. II
ought to be celebrated with all the pomp
grandeur and honor that are due to the
memory and achievements of the greatest
and saintliest of Catholic explorers
Christopher Columbus was born in the
Catholic Church and died in the Catho-
lie faith. IF the Puritans of New Eng.
land celebrate the day of the landing of
the Pilgrims, why should not the Catho
lies OF our country celebrate the date OF
the discovery of America?

THE BLAINE LETTER.

The family troubles of Mr.. Blaine,
which his admirers had fondly hoped
we're closed forever from public gaze by
the termination of the divorce suit at
Deadwood, are again winnowed out and
Mr.. Blaine himself is the cause. In an
unfortunate letter communicated last
Sunday to the Associated Press he re-
hearses the sad story Of the elopement OF
his son with the beautiful Marie Nevins,
the intrigue Of the pair TO get "a priest to
marry them, their return and the family
estrangement which was the final upshot
Of the unhappy union. The occasion of
the letter WAS the aspersion cast on Mrs.
Blaine, Sr, by the judge at Deadwood
while granting to Mrs. Blaine, Jr., the
decree of divorce and the object OF the
letter is to throw the bulk of the blame
of this uncanny affair on the young wife
who it is asserted planned the elopement,
on the priest who performed the marriage
ceremony and on Mrs. Nevins who belped
to widen the breach between the two
families. Mrs. Blaine, ST., who all along
has been represented as the prime cause
of the estrangement, in the hands OF her
brilliant husband becomes the most in
dulg Mt o. mothers-in-law James c., Jr.,
becomes d callow youth OF seventeen
summers, more sinned against than sin
ming, who unwari}y falls into the snares
of d woman Of twenty-one, aud Rev.
Thomas Ducey, the clergyman who tied
the nuptial knot, becomes the recipient
of maledictions worthy Of the most irate
of parents. If Mr.. Blaine had substan-
tiated all the charges in his letter, it still
would have been in our opinion mistake
"a great mistake to write it. AS long as
he shrouded his sor1ows in silence and
dignity the big heart Of the nation went
out spontaneously to the white haired
and grief stricken old man, his most bit
ter opponents we're softened and the long
scroll of accusations against him was
folded up and quietly laid away. If this
silence must perforce be broken at the
call Of duty to his wife, it should have
been broken by whisper, not by
shriek One word OF negation from Mr..
Blaine would have swept away all the di-
yorce courts in creation. But instead OF
the low tone of agonized sorrow We have
the frantic appeal from the court of
naa6wOOd tn fha Oran court of the
American public, we have charges of the
most severe nature mostly on hearsay
evidence and we have rhetoric of kind
that brings up pal nful remembrance.
We wish that Mr.. Blaine had not rushed
into print and rudely brushed away the
spell that age, sorrow and dignitied bear
ing were weaving. Millions of his ad-
mirers will wish the same.

A WELL, GOVERNED CITY.

Minneapolis has as many croakers OF
the square inch as any city of it's size IN
the Union, the most consistent and sue.
cessful of this class hailing from ''down
East" They are never satisfied were
born that way and can't help it. Many
of them coming here years ago when the
city was in IT'S infancy they are yet labor
ing under the belief that it is city Of
1000 people instead Of 100000 and that Il
government that is good enough for the
smaller number should also cover that Of
the greater, and it is this narrow minded
way of looking at things that causes SO
much pickering and criticism from a
source that little understands how DELI
cate matter it is to govern q City with Q
many conflicting elements and do 1t In
manner impartial and just without cater
ing in the least to any one interest. No
city in the Union has shown q more
steady or healthy growth than the one
in which We live during the past ten
years, and all in all the people are indus
trious and frugal, loyal to the interests
Of Minneapolis and bent upon making it,
what it is one day destined to be, one of
the first cities Of this Republic. The
disgruntled, and they are not many,
would have little to say in disparagement
of their city OF it's government, were they
hut to visit other cities equal in size and
Importance to that of Minneapolis.
They would find, ON parison, II at all
honest in their desire to get at facts and
truth, that here we have a city to be
proud Of in every respect-w'th as clean
and wholesome government us 1t is pos
sible to secure FOR population of almost
a quarter of million souls. A good,
clean and substantial government Tor all
o,lr citizens is the one desire Of every
true Minneapolitan and that we now en-
low, regardless of what croakers or pessi-
mists say to the contrary.

POOR 10! AGAIN.

Commissioner of Indian Affairs Nor
gan delivered lecture at Albany, N. T.,
recently under tue title OF "A Plea for
tho papoose." Among other things he
claimed that the Indians will never be
brought to state of civilization unless
their infants be removed TO institutions
where the arents cannot come and the
remotest Indian influences may be pre-
vented from reaching them. Father Wal
worth of that city, was present and took
Issue with the commissioner, as follows:
I'VE must not forget that the papoose
has a father, and mother 1t is neces-
sary to ask what plea is to be put IN for
them? It is strange thing to deprive
father Of the custody Of his child and of
the privilege of training him, according
to a parents idea of what his child sh nld
be. A plea is also necessary for the
mother, who may weep tears OF anguish
to have her child torn from her bosom to
be educated by strangers. There was
time when we Americans were all wards
OF q foreign power. We felt our rights
so keenly that because Of little tax on
tea we entered into an eight years war,
suffered many hardships, and los many
lives FOR our liberty to tax ourselves
What would these ancestors of our own
have said had the British king or parha-
ment claimed the right to take their
children away from them to be educated
IN schools of foreign making on the
ground that our civilization did not agree
with that of the government to which we
belonged? That being wards of the Brit
ish empire it was their business to ed
ucate the children Of the colonies to suit
their ideas Of civilization and govern
ment? Would they have endured it?
Would they have thought it good policy
ana necessary to make good citizenss
Would not our forefathers have consid-
cred that they had some right OF their
/. own, some ideas on such a subject?
Nould they have approved it as sign OF

sisted the enforcement Of such laws?'

IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.


dent of the Irish National League, ad
vising the raising of funds, anticipatory
of an election in Ireland, has produced
varied results and evoked different opin-
ions. The Citizen, of Chicago, heads an
editorial upon it THE Demon Straddled." "
The Canadian Freeman favors the policy
outlined by President Cannon, while
Secretary Sutton does not. This policy
contemplates the raising of campaign
funds to be held ready for an election,
which, as the small, huctuating majority
of the government in parliament indi
Gates, is imminent. The essential idea
Of the policy is to raiss the money. The
tenn porary division of the Irish force into
two parties headed by MCCARTHY and
Redmond, it is claimed, is no obstacle,
as the friends Of the cause can send their
ntributions to the favored party. The
possibility that funds thus placed, might
be used to advance the interests of the
wing of the Irish party receiving them
and to weaken the other wing, creates an
element of uncertainty, where positive
guaranty that all funds will be used in
the interest Of the Liberal Home Rule
party is essential to enkindle that en-
thusiastlc liberalitv which has character
lied the past work of the friends OF Ire
land in America.
The existence OF two IRISH organiza-
tions in a city like Minneapolis, or
Omaha, under the sanction OF the Irish
National League, organized to raise
funds for two rival factions in Ireland
would be impossible. Mutual destruc-
tion resulting from feverish competition,
public apathy and perhaps contempt
would speedily follow.
But President Gannon's references to
''the signs of disintegration of the present
parliament" and the necessity of prepar-
alton against ''snap judgment" being
taken by the present coercive govern
ment are exceedingly timely. The Irish
national machinery which was SO power
full in the United States in 1886 is rem
dered imperative through disuse. If
political crisis in Irish affairs were to
arise suddenly, prompt and effective aid
could scarcely be rendered. The branches
of the grand old Land League which
fourished in every city and hamlet OF
the nation no longer exist. These
were the receptacles into which
the contributions of all we're placed.
Their spirit and efficacy can be revived
under the National Leagne by the or
ganization of branches throughout the
nation. By making them interesting
they can be made useful and their vigor-
Gus existence in The United States will,
as in past days, become the most power
full possible ally for the Irish party and
its friends in parliament. Funds col
lected from small monthly dues or any
other manner can be retained by the
treasurer Of each branch or turned over
to William Lyman, treasurer OF the Irish
National League, as may be determined
upon. Neither of the existing factions
should be, at present, recognized. There
is but one faction to be aided and it's
name is Ireland. Let the funds raised

be it month or year, when anecessity
