Four years ago Ben Harrison declared
that he was one Of the political econo-
mists who do not believe in cheap things
and that cheap coat means 9 cheap
man under it. In his letter Of accept-
ance he took an opposite position and
dilated on the blessing Of cheap prices,s
which he unblushingly said were brought
about by the Mckinley tariff. Ben Har-
rison is about as inconsistent on the
tariff question as Knute Nelson.

The late Daniel Dougherty was once
surprised by visit from an aged gentle
man who called himself the emperor of
the French. He was insane, but Mr..
Dougherty listened patiently to recital
of imaginary grievances. He investi-
gated the case, ascertained that he had
gone crazy over some financial complica-
tions, looked into it, and succeeded fin
ally in obtaining a decree for $5,OOOa
year for his demented visitor.

Lord Houghton, the new Irish vice.
roy, is young man who will be as popu-
lar in Dublin as was the Earl Of Aber-
deem. His wealthy uncle, Lord Crewe,
allows HIM 10000 year while he re-
mains in Ireland. That gratuity in ad-
dition to the snug salary of e20,00oa
year will enable the young official to
give balls and parties on a magnificent
scale at the Castle. His income from
the viceroyalty is twice the salary Of
President Harrison.

It is reported from Dublin that Jchn
Dillon was seriously hurt in that city
last Sunday as he was riding OF
jaunting car. In some way he was thrown
violently from tho seat to the ground,
his body striking the earth with much
force He bled freely from cut On the
face and the bone of his left forearm
| was fractured. The attending surgeon
is confident that no serious results will
follow and that he will soon be all right
! again. John Dillon is one of the most
dieinterested Irishman living and has
spent his life in the service of ireland.
He has the sympathy of his race in his
suffering from the effects Of the fall. snd
the prayers of thousands for speedy
recovery.
| The Nun of Kenmare is now in Eng
land exposing the wickedness of ''Ro-
manism." One of the latest things she
has done is writing to the newspapers
saying that the oath taken by the Cath :.
Ole Archbisbops on receiving the pal.
lium pledges them to persecute heretics.
A noted English Jesuit, Father Illusion,
answered the escaped num- and pointed
out that no such oath has been taken by
an English Archbishop in modern times,
nor does the clause appear in the oaths
of the Archbishops in old Catholic times,
given in the collect of Wilkins, the Prot
estant church historian. Poor Miss Gu
sack is sliding rapidly along the slippery
ways of error, and is now attacking the
Catholic Church with as much vehena-
ence as Justin Fulton or our own &C
Lightly Morrill,.
