DO YOU WANT A GOOD BOOK.

I ''Watchwords From John Boyle O'Reilly'
Furnished by The Irish Standard.
"Watchwords from John Boyle O Reil
~ is the title of delightful little
volume OF selections from his poetry ano
prose, chosen and arranged by Katherine
E. Conway, who introduces them with an
EST mate of O'Reilly as poet and literary
worker. The book is issued by the we'll
known publisher Cupples, and is made
with all the artistic beauty Of Typography,
illustration and binding. for which this
house is deservedly famous. The colored
portrait of the poet, done in the style of
the now old-fashioned cameo, is excel
lent, and will add greatly to the value of
the book both with those who knew and
loved him and those who make his &C.
quaintance here for the first time, if any
such there be. It is noticeable that the
house bringing out the book is entirely
unconnected with Catholic publications
in general. This fact would seem to
show that it is but the beginning of many
that will appear upon this illustrious pa
triot and unique man. The many-sided
personality of the lamented Boyle
O'Reilly is likely to occupy the attention
of literary workers for long period to
come. His fame with the American peo-
pie will broaden as time makes the more
clear his far-seeing sagacity, his entire
unsel6shness, his perfect mapiness, and
the integrity and lzeenness of his instincts
which, always seeking the right, strove
to embrace not merely his own race but
humanity at large. Great and good was
Boyle O'Reilly, and he can but the more
plainly be seen to have been such as time
goes on.
The book will be mailed from this Of
fee, postage prepaid, on receipt of $1.00.
To every new subscriber who will for

will furnish The IRISH STANDARD for one

Higher Education In the West

Is the east really becoming effete in
its intellectual department? Here we
have the wild and woolly west in the
person OF the Chicago University invad-
ing Cornell University and taking away
twoo Of its professors by doubling their
salaries. 1t must be admitted that
Chicago is pretty well up to something
besides pie-sticking.
AS for the west in general, it is max
ing strides in the number and character
OF its institutions Of learning which may
well attract attention. 1t has done
enough to demonstrate clearly that the
eastern monopoly OF these good things
is already gone, This is good for the
west and the whole country.

WHEELING, JANUARY !, 1902.
Rcdistricting Ohio.

It was to BIO expected that tho Demo-
Gratis would find iault with any measure
tho Republicans might offer to make
now congressional districts in Ohio.
The Democrats cut up that Republican
state SO as to give themselves, three
fourths OF the districts. Anything, that
interlercs with this comfortable family
arrangement ia OF course "disgraceful
: gerrymander.
38% Tile bill introduced by Senator Car
penter on his own responsibility, not as
the result OF caucus action, gives the
Republicans fourteen districts out OF
twenty-one, gives the Democrats five
i and leaves two to be fought for. The
plan OF redistricting seems to be in the
main fair, but there is one conspicuous
break in tho contiguity Of territory for
which defense does not at once
suggest itself.
This is in the seventeenth district,
I composed of the counties OF Erie, Huron,
Medina and Summit. The district is
split in two by Lorain county, Erie and
Huron being on the west side OF that
county, Medina and Summit on the
east. The gap between the two parts OF
the proposed district, that is to say,
from the southwestern corner OF Medina
to the southeastern corner of Huron, is
. about eight miles. By the Wheeling &
Lake Erie Railroad, the shortest rail
communication, the distance seems to
I be at least twelve miles.
1t would require considerable
stretch OF imagination to see in this
district, at the dividing place described,
any. near approach to contiguous terri
tory. Such chopping up would be
grossly unfair and might be set aside
on an appeal to the courts. 1t ought to
be impossible to bring the Republican
caucus TO approve abill with such a
district in it. 40 .-

The Attack on tho wool.Growcrs.


The free traders seem to have parti-
cular spite against the American wool
industry, and are determined to 20 as
far as they can in the direction Of free
wool. Whatever else they may do
or omit to do they will pass free
wool bill in the house. That will be the
end Of their measure, for it cannot get
through. the senate. OF course it could
not pass the President if it we're to get
that far on its destructive course.
The passage OF a free wool bill by the
Democratic house will be wholesome
reminder to wool-growers that il the
Democrats had the power they would
bring the American industry into direct
competition with the product OF the
fiocks OF Australia and South America.
Republican wool-erowers need no re-
minder, but it will be well for those
wool.growers who never vote anything
but Democratic ticket to bear in
mind that by their votes they have
been asking to have wool put on the
free list. Unless they want free wool
they will do well to stop asking for it
when they so to the polls.
1t is the boast OF more than one free
wool congressman that wool-growers
voted for him well knowing that he
would stand by the Democratic policy.
1t is not the habit Of business men to
exert themselves to bring about the de-
struction OF their business.

Churcl, and State,

. -
The Pope displays long and level
head in declining to take part in the row
between the Catholics OF France and tho
French republic, and in this connection
his reference to the status Of the Catho-
lie church in the United States Is full OF
point.
Experience in this country has shown
that the Catholic church can flourish in
republican atmosphere; and it may be
said further that the vigor OF the Roman
Catholic church in this country has not
been found prejudicial to tho republic.
With tho United States in mind tho
Pope must perceive that his church can
live and prosper divorced from the state.
In France there is an unhappy union
OF church and state, and a large body OF
tho people would rejoice in decree Of
divorce. 1t is argued by tho party OF
tho church and state that tho church
could not replace by voluntary offering
tho large sum Of money and the valuable
equivalents it draws from the govern
mont. If this be true it means that the
church is much moro extensively ad-
ministered than it is in this country, or
that its members in France are less
willing than American Catholics are to
.
support their church.
1t is true that church-supporting is
much matter Of education; equally
true that where church and state are
united the members OF the state church
arc but poor givers.
