A CORRESPONDENT writes from Seattle,
Wash, in reference to statement copied
from the Cork Examiner to the effect
that the descendants of the IRISH who
we're transported by Cromwell to the
Bahama Islands in the seventeenth con-
fury still speak the Celtic language He
says that after consulting authorities he
found no veri6cation of the statement.
He found, however, that there are but
few Catholics On the islands and that
they have no place of worship, and he
thinks it strange that the children OF the
Gael could have lost the faith and pre-
served the language of their forefathers
at the same time. 1t was Father Brown,
a London priest, who stated before the
Irish Literary Society that negro sailors
from the Bahamas who speak Irish are
occasionally met with at the London
docks and that they engage old IRISH
women to act as interpreters for them.
The Bahama Islands are under the eccle-
siastical jurisdiction of the Archbishop of
New York, but how many Catholics and
places of worship there are we do not
know, as we have no Catholic directory
at hand just now.

PARNELL1sM is steady whitening away
says Harold Frederic, the London cor
respondent of the New York Times, and
then he continues: People may remember
how vaiantly Redmond was talking a
while ago about his willingness to see
Gladstone put out Of Office unless this
and the other were done. The value
of the blather was estimated by the fact
that when the government feared itself
to be in danger through absenteeism,
Parnellite members dropped everything
IN Ireland and raced across at break
neck speed to help swell the government
majority. The truth is Of course that
if they dared endanger in the slightest
degree Gladstone's tenure of power their
chance Of future in Irish politics would
be wiped out in the twinkling of an eye.

SAYS the Chicago Tribune: Mr.. Fow-
Ter, the Liberal Home Secretary, scored
heavily in the House of Commons last
Friday night at the expense of Lord Sal
isbury, the Duke of Devonshire, and the
Tory Peers. Their lordships had in
serted an amendment in the parish coun-
ellis bill prohibiting the payment from
the poor rates OF any expenses growing
out of the bill. MIR. Fowler challenged
the right of the Lords to do that, as they
are constitutionally inhibited from in
itiating or amending revenue bills. The
Speaker. who Is Unionist, held that
Mr.. Fowler's objection was sound and di-
reoted the House of Commons to ignore
the Lords revenue amendments. This
must be bitter blow to the Tory Peers.
It humiliates their. leader. It makes him
the laughing stock of England for the
time at least. After such rebuke it is
hardly possible that the Lords will per-
sist in their other amendments to the
parish councils bill. They will probably
make virtue of necessity now and go
one better than the compromise sug-
gested by the Duke of Devonshire and
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures all along
the line.

HENRY F. BOWERS, of Clinton, Iowa, is
said to be the founder of the A. P. A.
He is nearly 10 years old and wears long

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY "a, 1894.
THE GRAND OLD MAN.

Mr.. Gladetone's great age is having its
effects upon him, and it is evident that
he is no longer capable Of leading pro-
pressive English party against the enemy
as in former days. He is losing that
pugnacity and stubborn determination
which characterized him in the past, and
the other day he gave unmistakable
proof OF his reluctance to fight the House
of Lords, though his followers were eager
for the fray and expected him to make
the attack. The hereditary Legislators
have rejected the Home Rule bill and
mutilated The other measures passed by
che elected representatives OF the people,
and Notwithstanding all this the Grand
Old Man has not word of censure fo1
them. His colleagues and followers are
boiling with indignation at the action OF
the Lords, but Gladstone ie keeping az
cool as cucumber. Last Tuesday when
he arose in his place in the House Of
Commons he faced an admir;ng audience
that cheered him. to the echo and hung
with expectancy on his every utterance
but not syllable issued from his clio
quent lips in denunciation OF the Tory
Lords 1t was q sad disappointment to
his followers and they made no effort to
conceal it. Sir William Harcourt and
other members Of the ministry had made
speeches during the parliamentary recess
in which they referred to the Lords in 8
threatening manner, and the people ex-
pected that when sGladstone returned
from France and took his seat in the
House he would deliver q laundering
philippe against the aristocrats that
would bring them to their senses. Mr..
Gladstone has too much veneration for
the Lords and seems to have DO desire to
deprive them Of their privilege Of treat.
ing the representatives OF the people
with contempt. When it devolves upon
him to arraign the Lords he shrinks
from the responsibility and declines an
encounter with them before the people.
1t is evident to us that his days of useful
ness as leader in the cause Of democ
racy ara about over, and that younger
and more aggressive man to fight the
aristocracy is needed to take his place.

IRISH LITERATURE.

There is not much intellectual activity
in Ireland at the present day according
to an anonymous writer in the Fort
nightly Review. Though the picture il
overdrawn we give it to our readers al
what it is worth. This is whet he says
OF all men on earth the most easily
ewayed by his newspapers is the Irish.
man. as Is shown by the fact that in
every Irish factienal development the
earliest and most determined efforts are
always concentrated upon the attempt
to seize the public journals in one inter
est or the other. To this day everybody
who speaks csndidly admits that MIR.
Parnell could not have held Dublin, even
with the breweries and distilleries, the
tied houses and the corner boys, If he
had not also had the Freeman at his side
at the outset. There always was con-
stituency Of some sort ready at hand for
even the kind of newspaper that poor,
illiterate,, ehifty, demoralized old Dick
Pigott could make.
All the same, the journalism Of Ireland
at it's best is bad. Take look any day
at the press Of Dublin, Belfast, Cork, If
you would realize what descent there
has been from the level of John Mitch
els and Thomas Davis time. As for
literature it has practically persisted
from the land. Any London publisher
will tell you that of an edition Of 1000
volumes of popular fairly priced work,
whether of history, travel, essays, mem.
oirs,or the higher fiction, he never counts
on Dublin consuming more than five
copies. When the book becomes the
.srage,' or chances to deal with an Irish
subject, this may double itself, or even
ii rare cases mount up to 20 copies.

IT is positively known that Chief
Runge of the fire department is mem
Der of the P. O. $. Of A. and there are
those who believe him to be in entire
sympathy with the objects Of the A. P. A.
The sham trial of Gonstead for insulting
Catholic Sisters is conducted secretly
after the manner of the A. p. A. and is
nothing less than mockerY and delu-
sion. The Globe says of it: The trial of
the fireman who is accused Of insulting
two Of the Little Sisters of the Poor is
continued behind closed doors, Chief
Runge acting as the Judge, jury and
court Of last resort in the case. The in
QUESTION lis conducted on the star cham
Der principle, the reporters and public in
general being barred out. In view Of
the heinous character OF the insult i'm
posed on two defenseless women, who
were on q mission Of mercy, it seems
strange that the fire department should
desire to keep the evidence from the
public and adopt methods in the trial the
only object of which would seem to be
the suppression Of the truth. Chief jus
tics Runge, who is presiding at the trial,
is adopting methods, which IL followed

c8lumnleS ID the Protestant books OF the
public schools. The Catholics OF Michi
gan are already demanding that Dickens
Child History Of England be driven out
of the schools of that state. Dickens
book contains great deal Of correct in
formation on the royal ruftiaus who
ruled England in the past, but in treat
ing Of Catholic incidents 1t gives fiction
for fact and grossly exaggerates matters.
The Irish people ere brutally caricatured
by the English snob, and they are painted
as barbariaus before the invasion of the
Normans into their country.
A few weeks age the G. A. r. Of Phila-
delphia objected strongly to Confeder-
ate history of the United States which is
used ia the public schools of that city.
They addressed a series Of resolutions to
the Board OF E ucatlon in condemnation
of Ellis complete History of the United
States" in which they say: ''We protest
against the selection and distribution of
this book to the scholars of the public
schools of this city TOR the reason that
it's tone is biased ia favor of treason and
the cause of the South, and because it
suppresses in many instances the names
of our heroes, and persistently and con-
spicuouely depicts in strong colors the
achievements of the rebel commanders
and their armies"
The G. A. r. of Idaho recently made a
similar protest against the introduction
of the same book into the schools of that
state, and like their gallant comrades of
Pennsylvania they are justified in doing
so. The children of Union soldiers
should never be taught in the public
schools of the North that their own faith
ers were inferior to the Southern rebels,
and that the heroes of the Civil War
were Lee, Jackson and Beauregard rather
than Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
The Union veterans Justly complain
that the names Of their heroes are sup
pressed in many instances, and that the
achievements of tho rebel commanders
and their armies are depicted in strong
colors. Catholics have equal cause for
complaining that the names of Catholic
heroes are suppressed in the school his
tories NV in use. We have never seen
school history which says that John
Barry, an Irish Catholic, was the first
commodore of the American navy, and
before the pupils can learn that important
feet they must read Appleton's Cyclic
pedia, Irving's Life of Washington or
Bancroft's History of the United States.
The Puritan compilers even try to de-
prive Catholics of the honor of being the
first to grant religious federation in
colonial days, and present the subject in
such mystifying way that the pupils
think Roger Williams and not Lord Bal
timore was the first 10 grant it on this
continent. The Grand Army of the Re-
public and the Roman Catholics have
every reason to protest against one sided
histories in the public schools, and we
hope some competent man will soon arise
to write brief outline of history for the
public schools which shall be just and
fair to the children of Catholics and Prot
estants alike.
