A HOLY TERROR.

Brann. editor of the Iconoclast, pub
lished in Texas, gives much OF his atten-
ton to showing up the mental and moral
depravity of the A. P. A. aggregation.
Brann, it should be remembered, is not a
Catholic. Down in that state man
named Brown is publishing an A: P. A.
paper and he and Brann have it hot and
heavy at times. Recently the latter
spoke of his brother editor Brown in these
gentle words:
"He looms up like two-dollar sky
rocket on a dark night or red vest on
a corn field coon. Just now he is publish
ing an A. P. A. paper that makes life an
indispensable burden to the Pope, and
chases the entire church of Rome into
the chapparral fiftytwo times a year.
When Brown begins to erupt the walls Of
the Vatican sway and totter like those OF
Mexican jacal during an earthquake.
When he thunders the College of Cardi-
nails retire to the bomb-proofs and en-
gage in silent prayer. When he rises up
William Riley and uncorks the seven vi
ais of his Protestant apocalypse every
Catholic priest in Christendom takes to
the tall timber. Brown resembles the
Lord in that he is no respecter of persons.
There may be other kinds of resemblance
but we cannot think Of them just now. He
will tackle anything, from Kansas cy-
clone to an inoffesive Carmelite nun; but
it is when he grabs the English lam
guage by the butt end and begins TO
swish it about the shrinking shoulders of
the scarlet woman that Brown shows
at his best. His holy zeaF registers
about 1900 in the shade, winter and sum-
mer. Brown has somewhat absorbed the
idea that the Pope OF Rome is trying to
enslave him, and he is shrieking for lib
erty or death in a. manner to make the
erstwhile P. Henry ashamed of himself.
Just what Brown thinks the Holy Father
wants with him we cannot imagine. Per-
haps he suspects that the Pope desires to
add him to the Vatican's collection of en-
tomologioal curios." .... .........

TIM HEALY.

A subscriber at Montevfdeo, this state,
writes to the Irish Standard that ne feela
4 SO aggrieved because of its adverse atti-
tude towards Tim Healy that he is forced
to cease being a reader. He has also
come to the same conclusion concerning
Donahoe's Magazine and the Irish World.
His reasoning Is that he says he tlnds so
much instrumentation of Healy in this
paper and in the magazine that he can
not conscientious]y any longer support
either, He further reasons that one
fought TO know there are two sides to
that unfortunate and deplorable quarrel
amongst the Irish NJ P.'s,' and this being
SO he inquiries: "Why, then, does the
Irish Standard end Donahoe's and the
irish World defraud justice and see only
one side?" Speaking of the newspaper
in a general way he admits that
it certainly ought to draw one
and only one conclusion after viewing
There is good judgment expressed in
the idea of giving both sides, and news
papers, as rule, Go so, forming their
own opinions editorially expressed. The
Irish Standard, however, took the posi-
ton and still adheres to it, that Healy is
| a firebrand, an obstructionist, and far
from being as rnucb in earnest regarding
the interests Of ireland as he is regarding
the interests Of Healy. Parnell out OF the
way; he saw the possibility Of becoming
| leader. For that he should receive the
highest praise, for Ireland stands sadly
/ in need Of such. But Healy would be a
| leader whether the majority willed it or
| not. If he could not rule he would ruin,
and Of this statement many Instances are
| known, conspicuous among them being
| his conduct ait Omagh. Il is true that
while the majority were against Healy
as a leader, that Of Itself would not be

Imaiorities are not always right. and the
tact and ability OF one man might OUT

actress, has quietly LETT her husband, Col.
Pabst, in Milwaukee, taking with her
500, 900 in settlement Of their matrimonial
troubles. The husband Will move to Da-
kota, gain a residence there and then a

divorce must follow and that hubby's ali

The love which the great western cities
feel not for each other is great indeed.
Witness this compliment from one to an
other:
The report that Schlatter, the Denver
faith curer, is not mentally sound is
proved false by his refusal to go to st.
Louis for $5,OOO.-Chicago Press.
1t is in order for St. Louis to suggest
that Chicago has refrained from bidding
out of fear that Schlatter would accept
and--demand cash payment. Catholic
Times. z =
Schlatter knew his presence was not
needed in St. Louis but will go to Chicago
ON needful mission of mercy.

politicians of those states thought Of

A lecturer Of theosophica1 society in
New York this week severely criticised
the Christian Endeavorers for offering
up prayers for the conversion Of Inger-
soil as they did recently in Cleveland.
The lecturer said:
Ii They are doing a great wrong and
are practicing sorcery or black magic.

mans life because it differs from your
own. II Ingersoll wants to; have q GER

his capacity as a debdter on the floor OF
the House OF Commons but he has not
shown his ability to lead to govern.
Even should he feel confident, as no
doubt he does, that he possesses the quail
tiles of a leader, he could have afforded
to abide his time, either until the people
called him or until he had shown such
powers Of organization as did Parnell.
No one disputed the leadership Of the
latter. He did not vociferously proclaim
himself capable Of doing what was need
ed but he went ahead and did it. On the
other hand those who do not wish, to lis
ten to the dictates Of Healy he condemns.
With him his is the only way. He sees
the shoes Of Parnell still LIFT untitled but
he has not convinced his former asso
ciates or the country that he is the man
to fill them Such is Healy.
It would seem from the correspondent
at Montevideo that, as he says, there are
two sides to the quarrel among the Irish
members of parliament. that he believes
both sides are right. If both sides are
not wholly right then, according to his
reasoning, they must to a certain extent
be so. Or probably he means by the two
sides that one side is wrong and the either
side right. That is better conclusion
and such is the conclusion arrived at by
the Irish Standard Perhaps it has not
produced as much matter in support of
Healy as it has in support Of his oppo-
nents. That, however, was for the rea-
son that it had no faith in Healy's meth
DDS, intentions, earnestness or determine
ton for the advancement of Home Rule
in Ireland, and that his selfish, stubborn
nature would not conduce to the cohesion
of all the factions. When Healy shows
that he can rise above personal ambition,
still retaining his force and individuality,
and assist the Others in shaping sensi-
BILE course of action, or doing what he can
to combine all the Earring elements, in
stead of proving himself prince OF dis
turbers, then the Irish people may place
on his brow the laurel wreath Of leader
ship, providing the others have left I'M
dcne that which was expected Of them.
