A TEMPORARY LULL.

| The death and burial OF the Duke OF
Clarence and Avondale, eldest son of the
Prince of Wales, put considerable of q
quietus on matters political in the
British Isles last week. There were a
great many matters marked for con-
sideration, but the dukes death caused
pcstponement. The Tories, while they
pretend to be very sorry over the death
OF Albert Victor, are generally pleased,
! if private advices from London count for
anything. Had he lived to marry Prin-
cess Mary, parliament would, unquestion-
ably, have been asked for grant, and
the responsibility for this request and
the grant if conceded would have been
placed at this door OF the Tories. This,
of course, would have injured them very
much, for the country at large is de-
cidedly opposed to any more royal grants.
In the death Of the duke the Tories have
been relieved Of this responsibility.
Naturally they all appear somewhat
disturbed over this sudden death in the
royal family, aud all the political en-
gagements made prior to the DUKES
death were cancelled. Balfour, while
pretending to favor Home Rule meas
ure for Ireland, was about to start for
Belfast when he heard of Albert Victor's
death. He intended opening the general
election campaign in Belfast with great
speech in opposition to Home Rule. 1t
will be a difficult matter for. him to ex-
plain away certain sections of his own
bill when he goes before an intelligent
Belfast audience, "but where there is a
will there is & way" Balfour's proposed
Home Rule bill will never become law,
and we are confident that when he meets
| his conservative friends of the Shank
! Hill road, he will tell them SO. Whether
the Tories will be governed in their
political work by Court Customs or not,
following the death OF one of the royal
household, we are inclined to think that
next week will see many changes in the
English political checker-board. The
indifference displayed by the people of
Ireland on the death Of the queens
grandson has caused much talk in Lon
don, and while the Irish press was par
ticularly careful in touching on the life
and character of the dead prince, there
was, nevertheless, great want of sorrow
that English lovers Of the crown were
not prepared to see in Ireland. Ireland
could say nothing very complimentary of
the dead prince, and so she decided to
remain quiet. Now that the remains of
what might have been England's King
some day had he lived, are laid to rest,
the political battles will soon be renewed,
and ireland of course will be there to
see what she is going to get for her
generous services in the past. The share
will largely depend on the amount of
harmony that exists in the ranks of her
representatives.

CARDINAL MANNING

The remains Of Cardinal Manning
were laid to rest in Kensal Green ceme-
terry. London, on Thursday. The funeral
services were held in the Brompton ora
tory, where the last token of respect was
paid to the dead prs|ate, and thus has
passed away one of the most prominent
figures OF our time and the blow to Eng
land is severe one. A man OF the peo-
ole, who devoted much of his time to the
study and bsttermeDt of humanity, men
of all classes, creeds and conditions were
alike in interest to Cardinal Manning.
His broad, sympathetic nature gathered
about him friends from every station in
life and the work accomplished by him
during the latter years Of his earthly
career was wonderful in the extreme.
And yet, however arduoue his ]abors, he
never wsaried from the toll before him.
No part of his great archdiocese was ever
overlooked whether as to preaching the
Gospel establishing churches, organizing
schools, building seminaries and converts
or attending at the various associations
and meetings that drew SO largely upon
his attention. Gentle and self-sacritic-
inc, His Eminence never forced others to
follow in his footsteps, and though time
wrought many changes in his outward
appearance it is said OF him that his ami
able personal characteristics never
changed. No one 50 filled with pride by
honor and titles ia all England to-day
who will not stop to do justice to the
memory of this man. And the poor and
lowly the workingmen and women of
every city, town and hamlet Of England,
and the civilized world as we'll, bow their
heads in profound sorrow for their friend
whose eyes are now closed in death.
Born in 1903, on Passion Sunday, 1851,
he was received in the Catholic Church
at the age of 43, a convert to the faith,
and to Cardinal Manning, more than to
any other one man, is due that wonder
ful change of feeling towards Catholics
which has shown itself during this gen

NATIONALITY AND RELIGION.

However much is said about the oh.
jective harmony between the religious
and the patriotic sentiment, it is certain
that no more powerful lever has been
used to overturn religion in the past than
a misguided sentiment of patriotism
The voice of the would-be patriot has
been heard clamoring against religious
truth since the very beginning of the
Church. Now it was heard in rustic
Ju.lea; now in the courts of the Caesars.
anon in different countries Of Europe
and as a result Christ died on the cross,
the Roman empire was for centu ries del
uged in blood, and heresy and schism
carried away millions from the only true
fold. The Greek patriarch thought Con-
stantinople was too big to own allegiance
to Rome. Luther taught his followers
that the cause of the Church and that OF
Charles the Fifth of Spain were one, and
he arrayed the German national senti-
ament against both. The defense Of
imaginary Gallican rights cooled the ar
dor of the French people and gradually
turned the government Of France against
the Church. Similar results followed
similar causes in England and Scotland,
and have time and again been attempted
in ireland with more or less success. #
we turn our glance to our own beloved
country, or to any of the sister Republics
of America, Immediately we see that the
elements in power, just in proportion as
they have hindered the progress of the
Church, have appealed to the lever OF ma
tionality to accomplish this nefarious
work.
in the past we have, by argument for
the most part, contended that national
ity and religion are not at war. We have
triumphantly shown that we can be true
patriots and at the same time be true
Catholics. We have pointed out the
real cause Of rebellions against the
Church and have torn off the mask Of
iotism, with which selfish indiyid-

4IT was terrible accident that hap.
pened last Friday morning on the North
ern Pacific railroad, near Brainerd, in
which Mrs. Andrews and two members
of the Andrews Opera company lost their
lives, besides a dozen or more of the
troup being seriously injared From the
facts as published we would infer that it
was one of those unavoidable accidents
broken rail-caused by extreme cold.
The accident occurred about 3 o'clock in
the morning when the mercury indicated
40 degrees below zero. The occupants
of the wrecked sleeping car were asleep
in their births when their car went off the
track, and turned over on it's side. Those
who escaped from the car before the fire,
caused by the overturning of the stoves,
reached them. suffered terribly from cold,
and the wonder is that they were not
frozen to death. Three lives were lost,
and in most horrible manner by the
agency of the deadly car stove. This tor
rible weapon of destruction that has taken
more lives than all the other agencies
combined, should be dispensed with.
Our state legislature should do some-
thing to kill off this life devouring MONS
ter before it ticks up some more valuable
lives. Railroad companies should be
compelled to heat their cars from the en-
CINE by steam, or have heating car in
the rear for that purpose. The Milwau-
kee road uses these heating cars Oh, its
trains between these cities and Chicago,
but that is not sufficient. The lives of
the people who patronize other branches
are just as dear TO themselves and their
friends, as the lives of those who 90 to
Chicago occasionally. Our state legis-
lature must take some interest in this
i'm portant question, and prohibit rail-
roads from heating these cars by the
old fashioned deadly stove. This is the,
only way to save lives in wrecks of thif
kind.

REV. SIMMONS PLAIN TALK.

in Minneapolis as Golightly Morrill,, was
amusing his congregation last Sunday on

Mr.. Simmons was inclined to stop and

from Washington dispatches, is based on

Church's sway to be mild and just, to be
always on the side Of the oppressed, and
to be promoter of natural virtues as
we'll as of supernatural ones. We have ap-
pealed to the pages of history and have
challenged anyone to show whore the
Church in the halcyon days of her power
had at any time abused that power to
aggrandize territory, or to destroy the
rlghtful authority of rulers or to trample
upon the rights of a people. But while
all this augmentation was good, facts
we're always better. A cup of cold water
given to dying soldier by Sister OF
Charity during the late war, was q
stronger blow at know-nothinglsm than
whole year of augmentation. As
matter of fact you cannot argue against
sentiment and therefore it is far better
to learn from the experience Of the past
and not allow wicked men the shadow OF
pre.ext for stirring up sentiment
against us.
We're the lesson of experience taken to
heart by Catholics of this country they
should raise their voice and use their in
fluence as much as possible to promote
those things which are good in them
selves and which are looked upon as
American virtues or American institu-
tions. The Sunday belongs to the
Church, but that strict respect for it
which makes it the American Sabbath,
belongs to this country. Temperance
belongs to the law of nature, but that Pc
culiar phase of it which holds in hor-
TOR Intoxicating liquor is particu-
larly inculcated here. The English Ian
guage is an importation, but for all that
it is the language of the country.
Thanksgiving Day, Decoration Day and
the like are eminently proper whether
commanded by the Pope, recommended
by the President, or ballowed by GUS
tom. In these matters, therefore, Cath
olics should not enquire how much the
Church enjoins. but since they are good
things in themselves, tie only question
is how much observance does our coun-
try expect, and with full and overflow
ing measure we should meet that expec-
tation. In saying this We do not for a
moment mean to imply that there should
be merely the outward observance, but
we mean to assert that in these things
we should be loyal to the hearts core
We know full we'll that were this coun-
try in danger Oatholics-and Irish Cath
olics in particular be the erst to
sacrifice everything to ward off that dali
ger. But peace has it's victories no less
renowned than those of war, and we
should not allow all the laurels of these
peaceful victories to be carried off by
n-Catholics, and foolishly await thu
time of war to demonstrate our patriot
ism. Stopping bullets, to our mind, is
not near so patriotic as the display OF
energy in promoting the civic virtue Of
the country. Let Catholics see to it
then that they do not give the occasion
for infidels to make out that we cannot
be loyal to our God and at the same time
sincerely loyal to our country.
