Sole Object of the A. P A,

The St. Peter Herald says: There ex-
lists a society in this country called the
A. P. A., which has for it's sole object the
annihilation OF the Roman Catholic
Church and the political influence of it's
members. 1t is the worst kind of a
know-nothing society which is more in
tolerant aud fanatic than the worst in
quisitor of the inquisition. It will grow
for time, but it will go out with an ig-
nominious death which will appal it's
surviving members. That it should have
had it's birth in country which processes
to grant perfect religious liberty. is as
deplorable as that it exists at all. Should
such society have been born in the
Cannibal islands, we could have some
pity for it, but in an enlightened and
civilized country, never. It is the child
of passion and prejudice, and it's death
will be by the hand of enlightenment
and sense.

The Irish Village, established by the
Countess of Aberdeen at the Worlds
Fair, was formally dedicated May 10. A
number of representative Irishmen and
women of Chicago assembled in the par
lors of the Columbian Club, on May Is,
in response to an invitation from the
Countess of Aberdeen to*confer with her
upon the best means of making success
of this enterprise which she very frankly
declares to be huge advertising scheme
for the purpose OF creating market for
the crochet work and laces which are to
be manufactured and exhibited there.
Her ultimate aim is to build up an ideal
home industry for the poor peasant
women of Ireland, who only require q
little work to make them supremely
happy among the hills and wales they
love SO well. She urged the women of
America, especially those who claim kim
ship with the Irish people, to assist her
in this work either by orders direct to the
home market for their laces or by calling
for them in stores and thus obliging
to keep them in stock. She
called attention to the beautiful lace

PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKERS.
The House of Commons Would be Dull if
Irish Members Left it.

The House of Commons Would be Dull if
Irish Members Left it.
The following estimate of the leading
men in the British parliament is gwen
by Rev John Conway, of st. Paul, who
recently returned from Europe:
The style of speaking in the House of
Commons is easy and clear. Mr.. Glad
stone is easily the best speaker i'll the
House. He has rare delivery Of speech.
and is a master of clever sarcasm. He
disposes of weaker antagonist with
compassionate gentleness, but he has no
mercy for foeman worthy of his steel.
His power over language recalls that of
the late Cardinal Newman. Sir William
Harcourt's style is slow and ponderous,
but strong and clear. Chamberlain the
elder is clean-cut in speech. There Is no
mistaking the meaning of his chiseled
phrases. He puts the sting in the tail OF
his sentences; but he is handicapped by
sinister expression of the eye and by an
insincerity which, like ''the damned spot
will not OUT John Morley is heeitant
until aroused by annoying interruption
or ungenerous attack. His parliament
ary career began too late in life to admit
of his being an easy debater; but he is
finished scholar, and it is positively fas-
cinating to see him vanquish.an oppon-
ent. When he makes good point
against an enemy he assumes the atti-
tude of confident conquerer, pauses
and allows the thrust to 60 fully home
before proceeding. Sir Charles Russell
is an effective speaker. and feels that he
is master Of the situation. His style,
however, is not that Of the House of
Commons, but is rather forensic. heard
him administer severe castigation to T.
W. Russell, Scotchman who sits for an
Irish constituency, the same who came
to Canada and the United States for ar
guments against Irish Home Rule. Rus
sell is cold -blooded and thick skinned,
but under the lash Of his namesake's
tongue he WINGED like CALLED jade. Sex
ton still retains. his name as first class
orator, T. P. O'Connor is the readiest de-
batter in the House and John Redmond
the best elncutionist. T. M. Healy has
the sharpest tongue and the clearest
ideas of any man in the House. Lord
Churchill can make a good
speech when he pleases. He is as power
ful at objections as our own Amel1e
Rives Chanler, and when he is not thor
oughly in earne st there is the same
warm blooded style which distinguishes
the fair Virginia authoress. He has
made some very clever speeches during
The present session, and Mr.. Balfour has
to watch for his laurels as leader Of the
Tory party. There is no doubt as to
Churchill's great ability, but he speaks
too often and too long, Mr.. Asquith, a
Scotch Home Ruler, also belongs to the

the nation beyond that which enabled
them to extort rack rents from their Inn
poverished tenants, and that work was
done by agents who were far more cruel
and exacting than their masters.
. The famous Earl Chesterfield was the
representative of English authority in
Ireland at very disturbed period of the
nations history; nevertheless, his~ hu-
name conduct and Christian sense OF
fair play won the warm affection of the
Irish people and he was parted with by
manifestations of regard and esteem by
the citizens of Dublin and by the bulk
6f the people throughout the land. On
his return to London the English haters
of Ireland sought to draw from him ad-
verse opinions regarding the Irish race.
The courteous and witty Earl solemnly
declared that the only dangerous SUBJ
iect that he had encountered in Ireland
was a certain attractive and accom-
plished lady named Miss Palmer, and he
further declared that her dangerous pro-
pensities were not in the direction OF
plots or conspiracies against England,
but against his own tender feelings and
peace of mind.
Another highly esteemed and deeerv-
edly popular occupant Of the Vice-Regal
seat in Dublin a few years ago was the
Earl of Aberdeen, who, together with his
amiable Countess, strove to administer
the affairs sf the nation with due regard
to the feelings and just rights of all
creeds and classes alike. The beneficial
results of the noble Scotchman's wise
ana generous rule was felt in the remot-
est corners of Ireland, and his regretted
departure from Dublin evoked degree
of affection from the people such as had
not been accorded to any Viceroy IN
modern times. 1t is we'll understood
that Canada will have the good fortune
to be under the rule of the same en-
lightened and popular statesman for the
aext few years.
Lord Houghton, the present Lord
Lieutenant Of Ireland, was appointed by
Mr.. Gladstone's government to govern in
strict accordance with the wishes of the
Irish people, ably seconded in his noble
efforts to administer even-handed justice
by John Morley, Chief Secretary. He
at once began the conciliatory work OF
convi cling the people that no class or
creed would receive undue favors to the
prejudice of their fellow-men. Among
early official acts was the appointment
of Catholic Magistrates throughout the
country This startling revoluti m and
change in the attitude of the new Vice.
roy has naturally alarmed and mortified
the hereditary aristocracy, and they are
striking back in the most vigorous
fashion by enacting social boycott
against the democratic regime of the no.
ble-minded young Viceroy.
The unjust and arrogant spirit OF as
cendancy dies hard, but the glad day OF
it's dissolution ia at hand.

mons. His speech on the Home Rule
bill was almost equal to that Of Sexton,
Davitt or Redmond. No man in the
House has come so fast to the front rank
as Edward Blake, late Of Canada. Mr..
Blake, however, cannot be looked upon
as new parliamentary hand, as he had
made his reputation in the Canadian
parliament before going to Westminster.
One can form reasonable estimate OF
the value Of speech by the amount Of
space given to it in the leading news
papers. Few members succeed IN get
ting verbatim reports. The ipsissima
verba Of Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Sails
bury are always given. Half dozen OF
the other leading men always succeed in

Among the British exhibits in the
Liberal Arts building at the Worlds

Of ancient Irish metal work that display

were designed for religious purposes.
They are made of gold, silver, brass and
bronze, studded with gems of crystal,
garnet, topaz and sapphire. A large pro-

time portion of the true CROSS, first at

pieces have been loaned to the Fair by

Inc lack OF moral reCLlGuQe IQat pre-
vailed in high official quarters was re-
vealed and unearthed some years ago by
the fearless pen of Mr.. William O'Brien,
NJ. P. The terrible exposure was shock
to the moral community, and no doubt
acted as curb to further criminal mis-.
conduct, but it drew down upon the
hapless head of the valiant Irishman q
storm of abuse and persecution from the
aristocratic and immoral circles that will
beset his path until his dying day. In
by-gone times when the host of English
and alien. Irish officials in and about
Dublin Castle reigned in the plenitude
of their power, they freely INDUCED in
every kind of criminal propensity which
depraved tastes or the inclinations of fall

met with nothing but sympathetic ap-
proval or encouragement from the land
lords and country squires and other
lesser magnates, who were hattered by
the privilege of being allowed to partici-
