LOUIS G.. Brennan. the inventor of tn

Louis G. brennan, the inventor of the
great torpedo, is an Irishman who spent
much of his life in Australia. He did not
come back like Macaulay's New Zea'
lander to Witness the destruction of the
modern Babylon and sketch the ruins OF
st. Paul's. He came to fortify England's
position in naval warfare and help her to
maintain her supremacy on the ocean
wave. Though offered $850,O00 for his
torpedo by the Russian government he
preferred to give it to England for a
much smaller sum, and was made Com
panion of the Bath by the Queen. What
that means we do not know, but we know
that If Mr.. Brennan we're good Irishman
he would have kept his torpedo until he
had seen the outcome of the Home Rule
struggle with the House of Lords. If
that den of thieves refused to 0 K. Glad
stones bill, Mr.. Brennan could give the
torpedo to O'Donovan Rosa, and that
Fenian fre-eater could blow the British
feet out of Irish waters and make way
for an invading army that would drive
the British forces, bag and baggage, out
of Ireland into the Irish sea, as Brian
Boru drove the Danes.

STANLEY, the African traveller, has be-

years. In a speech to the electors Of

for parliament, he said: "Though OF
British birth and parentage, l have spent
the greater part of my life in travel and
exploration in foreign lands, and when
returned two years ago to live in England
I was q naturalized citizen of the United
States, but in all my wanderings I have
seen no power SO great and SO benefcent
as the British empire, and I felt that my
birthright OF English citizenship was q
privilege which could no longer forego.
I therefore resumed the allegiance OF
my birth and resolved that if ever ] could
serve England again in any way there

BISHOP HEALY is building parochia]
school for boys in Portland, Me. Some
non-C Catholics being displeased at his &C
ton, the Bishop wrote q letter to the
board of education in which he says
Allow me to say that our object is the
better instruction of our boys in the prin.
ciples of religion at that time of life when
the mind and heart are more susceptible
of indelible Impressions. My residence
of seventeen years in Maine proves to me
beyond doubt that, like in other parts of
New England, irreligion is gaining, es-
pecially among young mon. BY irreligion
mean not always hatred of religion, but
at least indifference to religion, and, with
many, contempt for religion. This we
regard as regretable opposition to the
teachings and threats of the Bible, a
growing danger to our beloved country.
Our school for boys is intended to coun-
teract this increasing evil by frequent III
struction in religion. The teaching Of
religion is, of course, beyond the province
Of the state or city-and yet sad expert
ence must convince all thoughtful men
that Washington was right in warning
the American people that morality with

HENRY G. FR1oK, manager of the Car
negie steel works, is man of strong con-.
stitution, and there is every hope of his
recovery from the murderous wounds in
ficted Oh him last Saturday by Berk-
mann, the Russian J. anarchist. The
would-be-murderer, regrets that he was
not more successfuI and is willing to suf-
fer the consequences Of his act. He
claims the sole credit OF the attempted
assassination and denies he had any con,
federates. He labors under the mis-
taken notion that he has earned the
sympathy and gratitude of the laboring
men Of the country. The organ of the
SOCIALISTS Of New York justifes his action
and calls Prick one Of the most brutal
American despoilers of labor whose
crimes against organized labor have
brought him the punishment that he has
merited thousandfold. Such journal
should not be permitted to exist in this
country.

MANKAro Review: When Knute Nell
son was member of congress, he was
one of the three or four Republicans to
vote for the Mills tariff bill. Not only
did he vote for that measure, but he
made strong speech in favor of tariff
reform, and introduced q bill to put
sugar, salt, lumber, iron and binding
Irvine on the free list. Mr.. Nelson was
retired from congress because he was
not in full sympathy with his party. But
now his party has reached great ex-
tremity and needs saviour, and Nelson
is the man to whom all eyes are turned.
He has not said that he has rescinded
his free trade notions, nor is he called
upon to do so or even to modify them in
the slightest degree. The Scandinavian
vote must be brought back to the Re-
publican party or its days are numbered.
Nelson is the man to do it, and hence he
is to be nominated, and the party made
to stultify itself. If an American-born
citizen had made the record on the tariff
that Mr.. Nelson made, he would have
been dropped and driven out of the party
in disgrace. This is the disadvantage
under which native borns labor in politi-
cal life, and however distasteful it may
seem the rank and file must submit.
They have the choice of voting for free
trade Republican or tariff reform Dem
ocrat, and they will very likely give the
former the preference.

A FEW weeks since the New York
World published oopious extracts from
the memorial addressed by Archbishop
Ireland to the Propaganda relating to
the school question in this country. The
World had come into possession of the
document in some mysterious way, and
many persons wondered how secular
paper in this country could get at the
contents of a private communication in
the hands of the papal authorities in
Rome. In the Chicago Tribune of last
Monday there appeared ST. Paul dis
patch which throws light on the matter.
Speaking of the memorial, Archbishop
Ireland is reported to have said that he
does not regret it's publication, for he be-
ieves it is we'll that all be acquainted
with the full status OF the questions dis
cussed. And then he added with much
force and righteous indignation: II can
not refrain from speaking in condemna-
ton of the methods pursued by my op-
ponents in obtaining the memorial and
of the clearly malicious intent with which
they are now using it. The memorial,
having been presented to the Propaganda
as official documentary evidence, as
sumed, as all papers of the kind, con-
fdential character and could not without
breach Of official faith have been given
to the public. No ecclesiastic of the Pro-
paganda was guilty Of this. The mem
orial was obtained by fraudulent means,
of which the proofs are not wanting.
My opponents in America and their
agents in Rome stop short Of nothing in
their unholy warfare and fail to blush at
their doings when discovered and ex-
posed. Their present purpose is to TO
ment public discord over matters upon
which the Holy See imperiously prohib-
tied further discussion, and, indeed, to
entangle and belittle the Holy See itself
by dishonorable insinuations and overt
accusations. There are in the Church
men constantly prattling about the re-
spect and obedience due to the Holy See,
when it may be used in support Of their
own views, who become most irreverent
If it speaks differently from their
thoughts. But they deceive neither the
country nor the Holy See. Their acts
bring their own penalties

SATURDAY, JULY 50, 1892.
AFTER THE BATTLE.


ticipated, are in a furious rage over their
defeat by the Liberal party, and they
cannot find words bitter enough to apply
to the electors who have made Gladstone
the premier by the handsome majority of
42 votes. The Tory press and it's CORES
pondents are industriously connecting all
kinds of reports to belittle Gladstone and
his followers. They say that owing to
the heterogeneous character of his party
it will soon fall to pieces; that the Red
mondites will join the Conservatives out
of personal dislike to him; that the anti
Parnell15es will attend so irregularly in
the House that the incoming government
will soon be forced to resign, and that
there is hopeless confusion in the Liberal
ranks as to the ACCESSIBILITY of giving
priority to the Home Rule question when
parliament settles down to business. 1t
is unnecessary to state that there is no
foundation for these ominous reports and
that the Liberals and Home Rulers pay
but little attention to them. There is,
on the contrary, the greatest unanimity
in the Gladstonian ranks, fact which
the Tories will realize when parliament
assemblies on the 4th of August. With
the exception Of the two Redmonds and
Tim Harrington, the members of the Par
nellite party will join the Mccarthy
forces with Gladstone, and it is doubtful
if the three factionists above mentioned
will oppose Gladstone and join the Tories,
as thair constituents would soon bring
them to task and call for their res:gna-
lions. There is only one labor candidate
who is thought to be opposed to the
s'Grand Old Man, and he is the protege
of Andrew Carnegie, the Scotch million
aire whose men are now on strike at the
Homestead mills in Pennsylvania. There
is every Indication that the eighty Irish
members will act together in the next
parliament and that dissension is at an
end in Ireland. The Parnellites have
seen the folly Of perpetuating strife, and
their daily organ, the Dublin Independ-
ent, will soon cease publication and
merge it's weekly edition with that of
United Ireland. The editor of the last
named journal was defeated in East
Waterford and though We are glad of his
discontinue we entertain high opinion
OF the man for the record he has made as
q brilliant journalist and patriotic Irish
man. Now that his country has spoken
emphatically against the principles he
has been advocating during the past two
wears we trust Edmund Lsamy will
change the tone of United Ireland from
this time forward. Parnellism as fac
ton showed it's weakness in the recent
election and we hope never to see it re-
yived. It was Parnellism that caused
the loss of five seats for the Liberal party
in Ireland. In the last parliament the
Irish representation stood as follows:
Anti-Parnellites 81, Parnellites 81,
Tories l6, and Unlonists 2. Now it is
composed of II anti-Parnellites, 9 Par
nellites, 9 Tories and Unionists, or 80
Home Rulers against Ii anti-Home
Rulers. The result is very gratifying,
considering the division which unfortun-
ately existed in the ranks of the people.

causes contributing to the making OF

LADY ABERDEEN in a speech on the
Ulster question, delivered in Scotland
last month, had this to say about the
Irish Catholics: "Have Irish Catholic
constituencies shown themselves back
ward in sending Protestant representa-
tives to Parliament, as long as they
would support the National aspirations?
You will fad it is not so, but that, on the
contrary, large number of the Irish
popular heroes have all been Protestants,
such as Swift, Grattan, Flood, Wolfe
Tone, Emmett, Lord Edward Fitzgerald,
John Mitchell, Smith O'Brien, Butt, Par
nell, and a score of others. Has the
municipal vote in Irish Catholic towns
shown a tendency to keep Protestants
out of office? Again the record says NO
In Catholic Cork you will find Protestant
Mayors and Protestant Sheriffs elected
Not long ago, out of the 92,440 emolu-
ments paid to pubic officials in that
county, 81, $40 went to Professionals. Ap.
ply the same test to Dublin, and you will
find that $4,000 goes to Protestant oMci
ais out of the total of 98, 400 salaries paid
to the chief officers. There have been
fifteen Protestant Mayors in Dublin since
1850, twelve in Waterford since 1845, and
thirteen in Limerick since l84l."
