WHAT OF PHYSICAL FORcE7

There is much dread expressed In some
quarters that the irish convention to be
held next week in Chicago will develop
into something Of q blcodihirsty nature
towards Eng land. But even iii did that
onght to be welcome as a change from
peaceful legislation and it's barren re-
Suits Let it take any shape but that Of
irresolution. Let it resolve in an earn
est, judicious way and let it put those
resolutions into effect whenever and
wherever possible. A good deal Of nom
sense may be spoken IL that convention,
a good many wild, impracticable
schemes advocated, but all men cannot
be equally wise. Those of thought and
experience will be there to correct those
who are unduly impetuous and lacking
in maturity.
a One OF the Memphis papers recently
asked the Catholic Journal of that city
when Ireland ever came as near gaining
freedom by physical force as she did BY
constitutional methods and the latter pa
per said:
That's a mighty easy question to an
swer, for the simple reason that the near
est She ever came to home rule was the.
unanimous disapproval Of the bill by the
House of Lords If Ireland never stood
any chance Of obtaining independence by
physical force what did that famous sol
der, the Duke of Wellington, mean When
on Bonded knee he appealed to the Eng
hsh king to sign the Catholic Ernancipa-
ton bill, and when the latter refused
said: tBut, my Leige, you must sign It,
for O'Connell demands 1t and every man
in Ireland stands behind him" And he
did sign it,, Home Rule is something like
the story of the man who was relieved OF
his watch by fighwayman. AfterWard
in relating the story to friend, he saad:
''But came very near getting 1t back"
ssIIow near?" inquired the friend. why,
told him needed it, that was poor
man, and asked him to return 1t. He
said no; IL he had only said yes would
have had it, ireland is poor. she need
ed Home Rule, of which England has
robbed her, and she appealed to the
House OF Lords to return it. She came
within one word Of getting it; they all
said no; If they had only said yes she
would now be happy. That's the nearest
she ever came to getting Home Rule by
Parliamentary agitation.

Of Mr.. Knox, who, until recently, repre-
scented West Cavan in the House OF

True to his subservience to everything
English George w. Smalley writes long
and laboriously to prove that IN the re-
cent yacht race THE Americans were
wrong and the Englishman right, and this
in face Of the fact that the leading Eng
fish newspapers as well as the sporting
journals over there have conceded not
only that the Defender, is better boat
than the Valkyrie but that Lord Dun

doesn't think sothatwnfikfnwrogh vice

!. WOAIEN'S ADVANCEMENT.

ally VI EoASA~
throws its doors open to the admission OF
women upon the same terms as men are
admitted. This will occur on and after
October /, when the new college year be-
gins. The original idea Of the University
was the education of young men for the
priesthood and that course has been adj
hered to until recently. .
The trustees have thought the matter
over and they saw the drift OF human
events and wornan's ambition, and not
only her ambition but her actual needs,
for a higher training, If the desires to
continue as one Of the leading factors In
the education of the race, whether as q
mother, or instructor or one who will con-
fine her efforts to a more glaring sphere.
The consideration OF this induced the
change.
q IN the courses Of science, philosophy
and arts, it is thought that the first
women to apply for instruction will DO
those from religious orders, the intention
being toskeep the Catholic schools abreast
Of the times in all the knowledge and
literary advancement Of the day. A.
woman's department will be created and
1t is thought that members of Sisters OF
the Holy Cross will apply for admission
al soon as the opportunity offers. This
is the institution founded in India Of
which Mother Onnznslla Gillespie, a
cousin Of James G. Blaine's, was ono OF
the founders Of the order in this country.
The sisters Of Notre Dame, it. Is expected,
will also avail themselves Of the higher
education.
Women from all over the world will be
admitted to the university to listen to
lectures side by side with men--between
nuns and lay sisters there will be no dis
tinction. But there is a distinction be-
tween the men and the women-the lat
ter will not be permitted to obtain de-
grees. There are thirty-four free scholar
ships offered but all of these are denied
to the women. 1t
For the admission of women to the
university all praise is due to the efforts
Of the Rt. Rev. DR.. Keane. In this mat
ter OF joint education he had much to
contend against but finally the better and
the broader opinion prevailed and victory
on the part Of the women was assured.
Without questioning the wisdom Of the
policy Of the university the thought arises
that il women can be educated side by
side with men, with equal benefits and
for a mutual purpose, why can they not
be granted degrees equally with their
male fellow students? 1t is true the con-
ferring of the degree would not add to
the intellectual requirements Of the
woman, but 1T would be a badge of honor,
an aeknowledg ement Of the steps she had
taken and the heights she had reached
and would stimulate her for further eff
forts In the same direction, even though
she would receive no further honors. If
1t is proud distinction for man to gain,
such recognition why would it not be
equally SO for woman, and, if SO, why
deprive her Of it? The question is not
asked wholly in the spirit of criticism
but In order that some explanation may
follow.

On Thursday and Friday Of this week
the official dedication of Chickamauga's
National Military Park took place where
che blue and the grey were raptur-
ously blended as they were similarly
blended only last week at Louisville. The
fields that were little over a quarter
Of a century ago drenched with human
blood, with the blood, no doubt, OF many
OF those who stood upon the ground at
this time-now witness the cordial hand
shaking and the rejoicing salvos Of those
who did their utmost in the past toblot out
the life of each other. Grim-visaged war
has slnoothet1 his wrinkled front mad the
former opposing forces are brothers once
again. @3
The blue and the grey are knitted to-
gether stronger today than ever before.
Previous to the war there was not only 4
continual strife for supremacy but the
curse Of slavery kept the two sides from
blending as they should. A four years
merciless slaughter blotted out forever
the existing differences and q new life be-
gan. $# .Ea.
Flowers will now perpetually bloom up
on the soil which was overun by the
troops Of Thomas and Grant and sher-
man and Bragg and "a Hooker
and others and monuments will
mark the positions of contending
foes In contrast to the present universal
feeling Of peace and fraternity.
