There is Il vast difference between
house and a home. The house is but
the building and the furniture-the
outward shelter and the gathering
place Of the household. The home in
cludcs the kindly family affection, the
thoughtful care and ready sympa thy
and mutual confidence and trust of the
members. a true home breathcs the
atmosphere of love. A child should be
made to feel that his homes indeed a
home-thc happiest place in the world
to him-not merely an outward shelter
and resting place, but center of en-
joyment, sanctificd and purified by
love, the thought and remem brance of
which shall be the safeguard of his
life as he goes forth to the world, Civ
ing strength and proportion to his
character, and turning his thought to
all that may prepare for the heavenly
home when the scenes of earth shall
have passed avvay.-Detroit Free Press.

AT the present time, according to a
writer in the New York Sun, the major
ity of resident Scotchmen in Gotham are
in accord with Gladstone in his plan OF
securing for Ireland the same autonomy
which many Scotchmen and Welshmen
hope for in their own section of the British
Kingdom later on. The Ulstermen resi-
dent in New York have not the sympa-
thy or support of the Scotchmen in their
antagonism to Home Rule. Nor are all
the Ulster men of one way of thinking
on this point either, for some of the
most energetic and efficient workers for
the cause of Irish Home Rule are north
of Ireland men who believe that the
Gladstone bill would be fair solution of
the troubles which have afflicted that
part of Ireland during many years. A
majority of the Ulster men of New York
city were, up to few years ago, Repub-
licans, but the Democratic party has
many recruits from them since Mr..
Cleveland was first it's candidate fol
President, and one of the Tammany
Hall district leaders at the present time
is an Ulster man.

The Tories opposed the resolution as can
be seen from the vote, while the Glad
stonian Home Rulers supported it to a
man. As soon as members are paid the
people will have fit and proper persons to
represent them, and the squires and
younger members of the aristocracy will
be kept at home. It will be necessary
to pass law to gle effect to the resolu-
ton, and that will be done within year.
Each member will be paid $1,000 year,
and that salary will be sufficient to pay
board and travelling expenses. The
eighty members from Ireland entitled to
seats in the London parliament, accord
ing to the provisions of Gladstone's bill
will not be financial burden on Irelan
when the salary bill becomes law. Mr
Gladstone has given his sanction to the
scheme and has made himself more pop
ular than ever with the agricultural and
laboring classes. The aristocracy will
undoubtedly oppose the measure to the
bitter end, but their day is passing away.
The masses will soon rule and the priv.
legged classes will go to the wall.

Who would have thought that any
class of Irish Catholics would ever object
to Home Rule? It will astonish every
one to be appraised of the fact that the
Catholic aristocracy of Ireland, or rather
the Catholic Tories, have sent petition
to the House of Commons asking that
legislative body to reject oladstone's bill.
They state in their memorial that they
enjoy full civil and religious liberty, and
if . separate parliament is given to Ire
land it will prove prejudicial to their re-
ligion and disastrous to the best interests
Of their country. They also address q
circular to their co-religi onists in Ireland
in which they declare that it Home Rule
is imposed upon ireland, it will foster a
revolutionary spirit injurious to tho true
interests OF their holy religion. The
names attached to these singular docu-
ments are borne by the descendants Of
Catholic aristocrats who favored the act
of union in the days of CORVALLIS, Pitt
and Castlereagh. They deserve the exs
eoration and contempt q al lovers of
human liberty through out the world

Our splenetic contemporary, The
North, has been lately wasting large
quantity of inky fluid in trying to find
out why the Irish of Chicago command
greater influence in politics than the
Scandinavians who are numerically
stronger by 1916. By referring to IFS
front page it will discover that notwith-
standing the fact that the Scandinavlans
number moro than the Irish in the
Worlds Fair city, the number of legal
voters of Irish birth is 23,5S7 to Is DOB
from Norway, Sweden aud Denmark.
This is evidence to us that the Irish
take more interest in politics and become
naturalized quicker than the Scandira-
VANS. Though inferior in numbers to
the Scandinavians, the Irish are 5000
ahead of them at the polls. Instead of
finding fault with the Irish for discharg-
ing their duties as citizens, The North
should call upon the people it represents
to follow their example.

resolved that contributions be given by
members of that patriotic body to aid

ing their expenses while attending to the

ture. J. e. Scallen, cashier Of the Irish

purpose and The IRISH STANDARD was

migrant is a poor specimen Of the genus

of these drawbacks he gets ahead of the

Swedish "Facklan" of Chicago, which
gives the number of Scandinavians and
Irishmen in that city as 1854 and TO-
OPS, respectively, according to the last
census. Though there are more Scanai-
navians than Irishmen in the Windy
City, the descendants of the Vikings
are thrown into the shade. politically, by
the countrymen of Brian Boru. The
"Facklan" says: "The Irish are repre-

PAYMENT OF MEMBERS.

Ever since the days of Elizabeth, or for
nearly three hundred years, the members
of the lower house of the British parlia-
ment have received no recompense for
their services. The result has been that
until a few years ago the members of the
House of Commons have been all wealthy
mon. for the reason that poor men could
not afford, to pay election expenses or
give their time aud services without COM
pensation. In the days of O'Connell the
members from Ireland we're landlords
and arstocrats who misrepresented their
country and accepted offices of emolu-
ment from the Wing and Tory govern
ments of that time. Some men like
Sadlier and Keogh joined the popular
party under O'Connel and entered par
lament to betray the cause he cham
pioned, and they received reward from
the ministers of the day for their treach-
cry to Ireland. In recent years the mem
bers from Ireland chosen by Parnell have
been comparatively poor men who earned
livelihood in the legal and journalistic
professions. It was found necessary for
the Irish constituencies to pay the ex-
penses of their representatives, and the
friends Of Home Rule throughout the
world contributed generously to the
parliamentary fund to enable the Irish
members to stay in London. The lead
ing members OF the Home Rule party
have made the last appeal to the Irish
race for contributions to defray the ex-
penses Of these patriotic men until Home

The Catholic Union and Times says:
In bis great Home Rule speech in the
House of Commons Mr.. Gladstone re-
ferred to the Duke of Wellington as an
Irishman. Nominally, the Premier was
correct, for Arthur Wellesley was born in
Ireland, but throughout the course of a
long career, during which he was Secre-
tary for Ireland and Prime Minister, he
never did anything for the unfortunate
land of his birth to deserve the gratitude
of the people of that island
It may be urged that it was the Duke
of Wellington when Prime Minister who
granted Catholic Emancipation in 1929.
But for this he is little to be thanked.
He was simply compelled to do so. Like
other anti-Irish Irishmen he had hitherto
opposed that measure with all the bit
terness Of his iron will. But the pro-
gress of the Catholic Association and
the great victory of the Glare election,
when in the teeth of Protestant ascen-
dancy aud the ell.nigh landlord omni-
potence, O'Connell swept the field served
notice upon Wellington and Peel that
Catholic Emancipation could no longer
with safety be postponed 1t was, there
