ALCOHOL AND ANARcnK-

There Is another great hot bod Of anarchy
and crime In our modern civilization that
can never be passed by, or overlooked, when
we are considering the dangers that threaten
us with universal destructon-the trafilc In
drunkness. One OF the most alarming fea-
lures Of the present age Is the awful and
shameful fact that the fourteen most civil
lied nations OF the earth devote one-fourth
OF their labor and agricultural land To tho
production OF this demoral2ing and dcstruc-
tive force. Forty-four million acres OF tho
best soil God has given TO man is being used
10 producea a pauper-making, anarchy-breed-
ing drink, while multitudes die OF want and
nations stand back aghast before the deadly
work OF anarchists. Rev. Louis Albert

Redmond at the Irish National League

GEORGE w. CH1LDs, the famous Phila-
delphia editor and phila ,thropist, died
last Saturday morning at the age ct %
years. Fills death is universally regretted.
He never occupied public office and
until two ears ago never made speech
in his life. He was successful business
man, publio.spirited citizen and ben
efactor of humanity. Through his own
exertions he made millions Of dollars,
but his greatest pleasure in life was in
doing good to others and not in accumu-
lating wealth. He was the friend OF the
printing fraternity, and the international
typographical union will long remember
him and the late Mr.. Drexel who built
for the printers the magnificent home at
Colorado Springs, a hundred miles from
Denver. The name of Geo. W. Childs
will be linked with those Of George Pea
body and Peter Cooper, noble trio who
reflect honor on the American name be-
cause OF their generosity and benevo-
lerco. a

A MANIFESTO has been issued by John
Redmond, Timothy Harrington and Jo-
seph Kenny, leaders of the Parneliite
faction, declaring that the Liberal gov
ernment's rule in Ireland is q confessed
failure They say that Home Rule has
been pushed aside, and that 1t is there
fore necessary to restore Ireland to her
old position of "blocking the way" in the
House Of Commons. 1t is fortunate for
Ireland that these three theatrical patri-
OTIS cannot do the ''b)ocking." The ma
jority of the Irish people, though far
from being satisfied with British rule in
Ireland under the Liberals, will bear
things patiently for awhile longer, and
their representatives in parliament Will
join their Liberal and Radical friends in
legislating for the democracy OF Great
Britain. Home Rule is only temporarily
laid aside, and will come to the front
again, and that fact is we'll understood
by the Irish people.

TUESDAY night as 'Prof." Sims, the A.

kauna, Wis, to vilify the Catholics OF
that town once more, he was arrested by
the Mayor of the town at Appleton on a
charge of criminal libel. He was accom-
panied by $50 sympathizers from Osh-
kosh who brought with them a band OF
music with the intention OF marching
through the streets of Kaukauna IN de-
fiance of the Inhabitants and thus pro-
voking them to attack Sims while deliv'
ering his harapgue. Sims was arrested
on q warrant and was taken before Court
Commissioners Boyd, of Appleton, to
whom bond in the sum OF $500 was
given for the appearance of the prisoner.
He was then released and he and his
confederates returned to Oshkosh. Sims
is disturber of the public peace and

VIZ have received a marked copy of
the Nashville Republican containing q
letter on the Irish, question written by
Mr.. James Killelea for the Catholic Jour-
nal of Memphis, the concluding para
graph of which is as follows: when the
Irish parliamentary party and the Irish
people in Ireland become united in one
solid national party Ireland's friends in
this country will renew their expression
of confidepoe, and once more will give
Ireland all our support by helping her to
achieve Home Rule" The Irish people
at home and abroad are as united at the
present time as they ever have been Or
are likely to be in the future. The over
whelming majority of them are III favor
of self-government for Ireland. To be
sure there are few parliamentarians
who differ with the majority party which
they call the "Whigs" or "Seceders," " and
they have followers both here and in
Ireland. Let those followers render
financial aid to the nine Parnellites, and
enable them to attend to their duties at
Westminster. They are deserving Of
support so long as they vote for Home
Rule. If Irishmen in the United States
refrain from rendering financial aid and
renewing their expression Of confidence
in the patriotism Of the Irish representa-
tives until they are united in Zone solid
national party" they will remain inactive
for q long time, Judging from present in
dications. But the friends Of Ireland in
this country have confidence in the in
tegrity of the Irish representatives, as
was evidenced last week in Boston when
5000 was raised for parliamentary pur-
poses at the lecture delivered by Edward
Blake, M. p. The friends Of Ireland in
Minneapolis have recently remitted q
check to Hon. John Sweetman, M. r.,
for defraying the expenses of the Irish
party in London. We believe that the
Irishmen of the South love Ireland as
devotedly as the Irishmen Of the North,
and hope to learn soon that they will en-.
courage their countrymen at home d.
vided though they. bein 9 substantial
manner. Mr.. Killelea is an ardent Irish
patriot, and We hope that he viii set tho
ball rolling in the land of Dixie.

ANOTHER LIE sQUELcHED.

One of the lying accusations set adoat
against Irish Catholics in this country by
British. American patriots IS that they
deserted i large numbers from the army
during the late civil war. A Baptist
minister of New York named Macarthur
recently declared in a public lecture that
of l44O0O Irishmen who enlisted during
the rebellion 100000 deserted after the
Pope had recognized the Confederacy.
Such barefaced falsehoods scarcely de-
serve notice, but they have been 80 re-
peatedly uttered by anti Catholic lectur-
ers that many ignorant persons accept
them as real truths. With regard 10 the
allegation shat the Pope recognized the
Oonfederacy as belligerent power, it is
sufficient to say that it has no foundation
in fact. That matter was thoroughly
discussed and disposed Of to the satisfac-
tion Of every intelligent man by Hon.
John Bigelow in q recent nun ber of the
North American Review, where the en-
tire correspondence between the Pope
and the Confederate officials was given
and explained. 1t is preposterous to say
that Irishmen left the army after the ap
pearanoe OF the Pope's letter to Jefferson
Davis It is possible and probable that
Irishmen may have deserted as we'll as
others during the civil war, but they Ger.
tainly were not inf uenced in their action
by anything contained in the Pope's let
ter to the president of the Confederacy.
About two years ago Hon. John r.
Finerty, Of Chioas o, wrote to the War
Department at Washington in reference
to the number of desertions according to
creed and nationality, and was promptly
informed that no information could be
Riven him on that point, owing to the
fact that no record Of enhstments acoor-
ding to creed or nativity was in the pos
session OF the government. james Jef-
roy Roche, editor Of the Boston Pilot,
subsequently wrote for the same infor-
nation and received the same answer.
Last December the editor OF the Oincin-
nati Catholic Telegraph wrote 20 the
Pension Department il reference TO de-
