GLADsroNE's BIRTHDAY.

| GLADsToNE'S BIRTHDAY.
The grand old tribune of England
| celebrated the 84th anniversary OF his
birth on D. cember 80 by attending to
the affairs OF the British Empire in par
lament. The aged statesman was the
recipient of many hearty congratula-
tions from private individuals and pub
lie bodies. Perhaps what pleased him
most was the supplementary manner in
which his political opponents rendered
their congratulations. Mr.. Balfour, the
leader of the opposition, stood in his
place in the House of Commons and IN
earnest tones offered the venerable man
ION bis own part and the part of my
friends, our most sincere congratula-
tions.' MIR. Gladstone thanked him "for
his great courtesy and kindness" and
then cheers and applause came from all
parts of the House from Liberals, Tories,
Radicals and Irish Nationalist. Though
the members of the opposition are try
ing in every possible way to thwart Mr..
Gladstone in his enlightened policy OF
administration they honor and revere
him as the greatest living Englishman
of the century, and as statesman, orator
and scholar who has few if any equals in
the world today. The only man of his
years who is recognized as his peer in
mental equipment and advanced ideas is
the head of the Catholic Church, Pope
Leo XIII. No wonder that Balfour, as
the spokesman of Gladstone's political
enemies, rendered the great man their
congratulations on the anniversary OF
his birth. There was one man absent
from the House on the happy occasion,
and that was "Judas" Chamberlain, the
renegade radical who is now posing as
the leader of the Liberal Unionists whom
he formerly attacked as the oppressors
of the people.
The screw maker OF Birmingham has
no love for the "grand Id man." He is
the scoundrel who during the close OF
the debate on the Home Rule bill was
drawing an insulting parallel between
Gladstone and Herod, when he was
abruptly interrupted by T. P. O'Connor
with the cry of "Judas!' The man who
was capable of inf1icting wound on the
heart OF the English statesman and
llberator was absent, for it wonld be gall
and NORWOOD for him to join his COL
leagues in honoring his magnificent OPP
ponent. The public press of the British
Islands joined the parliamentarians in
paying tribute of respect to Gladstone
upon his natal day. Even the Times,
that strumpet of Tory journalism, did
not forget to notice the eventful day on
which he reached his Saith birthday. One
of the leading Liberal journals truth
fully said .sWho can hate this charm
ing veteran, this Respondent personality,
bearing the weight of years like snow
flake, full Of youth, even the faults OF
youth, and with q career going back in
dim gradations to the years when mems

The Dublin Freeman's Journal is

pared by scholar possessing the high
est qualifications for the work. la IN
trod ing this feature in it's columns the
Freeman says: We would impress upon

everything Irish, everything that clings
to the soil and is Of it ought to be PEE
served. Folklore, old stories. snatches
OF Irish song and legend, old habits, GUS
toms, and even superstitions, are worthy
of being recorded. We trust TO make of
our Irish students great army for the
preserva alton of things Irish. Our peo-
ple are anxious for self government,
but let not self-government ovortake
them. having lost the last proofs that
Ireland was once great nation with
distinct language, laws, customs, music
and poetry. There is not an old ruin in
Ireland that does not tell it's story, not q
cromlech that has not legend hidden
away id the moss that clothes it, not an
ogham stone that does not contain q
record of past over glorious even in the
most despairful movements Of defeat.

The ply Il Irish Catholic clerks in

one room nine tentbs of the clerks are
Catholics. In one division of the sgri-
cultural department, which was disor-
ganized, it was found that IS per cent of
the clerks were Catholics and many Of
them were found positions in other de-
rartments. "!
s'The whole Tweed machine WAS moth

Judges of the new organized court of
appeals at Washington are Catholics,
one Of them, Martin Morris, reading q
paper before Catholic convention

A part of what he says is true, but the

Caslin may have cause to grumble, tut
as it was he ought to feel hattered
that "Romanists" were assisting men OF

says MeCaslip, 'that the commissioner
of pensions is Catholic" We all know
shat he is not, and McCaslin hss no bet
ter proof for the statement than for his
other allegations and assertions. Judge
Lochren is member OF the Presby-
terrain faith and has never been affiliated
with the Catholic Church. He is a ma
tive of Tyrone, Ireland, where McCaslin's
ancestors fought and bled in honor OF
s.the pions. glorious and immortal Will
liam of Orange. Such random talk from
this Orange blatherskite betrays his ig'
norance and bieotry. Judge Lochren
was a gallant soldier and he has never
removed one-legged soldiers t give

Catholic, however, it would be only q

We blush to live in q city which is
cursed by such blatant bigots as McCas-
lin, Go-Lightly Morrill,, lice, Hoyt and
Co. They continuously preach the Cos
pel of hate and are disgrace to the
christian religion. In no city in the

the solitary exception of Boston and

Rev. ALFRED YOUNG, the. New York
Pauist, has lstely brought to. task one
Rev. Madison G. Peters, who made use
at false statistics inv belyiDg the Catholic
Church. In a letter to the Herald
Father Young calls upon Peters to give
the names OF the works from which he
copied the alleged statistics, but Peters
Instead of doing 60 spoke Of something
else, whereupon Father Young called :
halt by saying zone thing at time" Up
to date Peters has reiaaiued silent.
Father Young lie the priest who played
havoc with the statistics used by Dr.Way-
land Hoyt. of Minneapolis, about four
years ago. Hoyt viii be very cautious
in using anti Catholic statistics when he
speaks in New York again. Last Sunday
in this city he spoke on the Sabbath in
continental Europe and quoted an an
onymous Protestant authority against
Catholic observance of the Lords Day in
France, Spain and Italy. Heyt is
hardly responsible for anything he says
on Catholicity. He is severely afflicted
with ay-fever of long standing, and be-
ing a chronic bigot to boot, he cannot
help talking as he does

In answer to ST. Paul correspondent
we beg to say that the Ancient Ocdsr OF
Hibernians was organized in Ireland,
when the infamous penal code was 10
operation and bat little entary
evidence of ite early history is known.
II is a well-known fact, however, that
the purpose that inspired its founders
was to keep alive the spirit OF the
Irish nationality so dear to the heartof
every Irishman under the most trying
circumstances and conditions, and to
protect the priesthood 10 thu exercise OF
their sacred functions. To the average
American who enj ,ys liberty OF hoight
and action ia religion aud politics this
will appear unexplnnable, but to tho
children of the Green Isle the condition
OF affairs is familiac and exists even to
this day, though perhaps 10 more mod
flied form. In the dark days of Ireland g
past history when no edi6cs for Catholic
worship was allowed to exist, and when
q pr CO was put on tho head OF Catho'
lie priest or teach9r, the Ancient Order
OF Hibsrniaus cana to the front to fight
for their faith aud their m ,therla I'D.
They struggled against fearful Odds, it is
true. bat with all the forces arrayed
against them they kept the enemy in
check until more liberal spirit dawned
upon the shores of their country and toll
Grafton took the place of bigotry.

Editorially, the Times is broad d lib.

Insulting illusions to the Pope, to Mgr.

Catholic clergyman SO forgotten himself
