LoRD SALISBURY and his colleagues
have been at much pains during the re-
cess to declare and impress on the Eng
lish people that all the House OF Lords
ever has done or thinks of doing is to
prevent Home Rule from passing, until
it has secured majority in England,
says the New World. They are extreme.
ly anxious to get Lord Rosebery to fight
them on this issue, because they believe
they are sure to win on it. OF course,
the position they take up is entirely in
consistent with their pretence of regard
ing the Imperial Parliament as one and
indivisibie. But that does not matter.
The Issue which they want to raise would
be very favorable one for them in the
English constituencies, and it is in the
English constituencies that they hope to
win. On the whole, the coming session
OF the British Parliament promises to be
very critical one. Tt is almost certain
to be the last session of the present par
| lament.

L,1Noo1Ns birthday was quite generally
celebrated throughout the country. It
is highly just that Lincoln should be re-
membered but his birthday will never
become popular holiday as long as Re-
publican orators and press continue to
place his greatness upon a partisan basis
rather than a patriotic one. Lincoln was
for the most part above craftsmanship, in
deed he was above sectionalisn and when
the assassin's bullet struck him down he
was the best friend the South had. He
surrounded himself by the best men in the
nation regardless Of politics. He called
to his counsel Seward, Cameron, STAN
ton and Chase, all opponents and placed
in command of the armies McClsiland,
Hooker and Thoma e, also opponents, and
there is little doubt but that he would
have summoned to his side Gtephen A.
Douglas if the Little Giant had sur
vived. But Gov. Mckinley in speaking
OF Lincoln places his virtues ON the low
plane of partisan politics. Llncoln's
name is not e partisan one. 1t has
passed out of politics into fame and

plus was used in buying up bonds not
yet due, at premium. The only per-
manently effective remedy for the cur
rency trouble is the retirement OF the
greenback. This can be done only by
issuing long time bonds and using the
gold thus obtained to cancel the green
back. SO long as we have debt pay
able on demand and remaining forever
unpaid, it will be impossible to keep up
the gold reserve. The retirement ofthe
greenback need not necessarily produce
any contraction III the amount OF money
in circulation. The immense amount OF
gold which now annually leaves the
country would then remain with US and
the confidence in our national credit
would leave foreign investors to leave
balances in their favor invested in Amer
/ ioan industries. The efforts OF the presi
dent to maintain the natl onal credit and
thus save all private credit which is
based upon it is worthy of the encour
frgement of every citizen who places
country before party.

HOME RULE is making good progress
notwithstanding the cabled falsehoods
that are constantly being published in
America, says the Canadian Freeman.
That the Irish people are themselves
more interested than heretofore can be
seen from their recent liberal subscrip-
ton of $500 to the cause. Mr.. David
Sheehy, NJ. P, Chairman OF the Irish
National Federation, thus refers to the
advances Home Rule is making: "There
is good ground for congratulation by
every good and true irish Nationalist.
The list read today is good and solid

people in every part of the land. 1t is

TRAGEDIES AT SEA.

The attention of the civilized world
has been turned toward the sea during
the past two weeks in way in which it
has not been for years. The way in
which the entire civilized world turned
toward that spot in the North Sea where
the Inflated Elbe with it's passengers and
crew lie at the bottom OF the waves
shows that human sympathy and kind
ness is not dead. Misfortune exposes to
the world the best qualities of humanity.
There is no nation or people which would
not gladly do all in their power to help
those who have suffered by she recent
tragedies at sea. Few men who would
not willingly have risked their own lives
TO save fellow beings in distress. All
this is reassuring and speaks we'll for hu-
man nature. Yet while the bravery OF
most Of the sailors exposed to the late
terrific ocean storm is unquestioned and
tina staunchness Of the great ocean
steamers admitted, there appears to be 9

As to the crew on the German ship
Elbe there appears to be some reason to
say that they thought more OF saving
themselves than the passengers to save
whom was their first duty. This cannot
be said of the brave captain who prompt

THAT we'll known Protestant publ
alton, the New York Independent,
stirs up the bigots in this wise:
Certain legislators in Oregon and Neb-
raska think the residence in this country
of Archbishop Satoll, an alien ecclesias-
tic, dangerous to our institutions; and
they want their respective State Legis-
latures to ask Congress to send him back
whence he came. There is a law on our
statue book which might be slightly
amended so as to avail for this purpose. 1t
is known as the Geary Law. 1t applies
only to Chinese laborers; but it can be
made to include also italian eccleeias-
tics 1t is, as we all know, a pretty
effective law. 1t provides for the arrest
of any Chinaman who has not certi-
fcate of registration, and requires his
deportation, if he cannot show any right
to remain. Amend this law so that it
will apply to Roman Catholics from
abroad, and then we shall have q statute
of which Americans who think that
America was intended for American
Professionals and nobody else will be
proud. Satolli is cd alien. What is an
alien? An Chinaman or foreign eccle-
siastic. The former wants to rob our
indigenous laboring men Of their living;
the alien Jeeuits (all Catholics are
Jesuits, ard all Jesuits are opposed to
all forms of Constitutional liberty wants
to undermine our social and democratic
institutions, and make US all slaves to
the Pope. No doubt this Satolh is al.

is he there for) and has conceived plot

not sell our bonds fast enough to keep
up the supply. Who knows that he is not
in league with foreign powers, and carry
ing out with a bold but secret hand a
gigantic conspiracy to ruin our govern
ment, in order that he may erect on the
ruins a government of the Pope by the
Pope and for the Pope? If this is SO
the sooner we get such man out of the
country the better. If these prove to be
mere imaginings, not capable of proof
as we suspect, We hunably suggest that
we had better leave Satolli alone.

lost ono of it's early and sturdy pioneers
and the world a woman whose beautiful
character and influence has impaired al
enduring luster to the sphere of limit il
which her life has been spent, says an in
innate acquaintance and friend. The de

truly estimable. Great events of history
are rot always che pedestals upon which
beauty and nobility of human character
is borne aloft, and in the more circum.
ecribed limit of the domestic circle are
frequently to be found those chisel
marks which give equal prominence to
excellence Of tbs human soul. Modest
and unassuming, possessing the most en-.
gaglpg simplicity of manners, her heart
was the residence of every kind affection
and glowed with sympathy for the wants
and sutferings of others. Her tempera.
ment was uncommonly mild and sweet
her bosom Was filled with benevolence
and content-no love of show, no ambi.
tlous desires, no pride Of ostentation
ever disturbed it's peace. Humility was
her crowning grace, and she possessed it
in rare degreA. It took deep root and
fourished full and fair, shedding over
every action of her life it's genial infiu-
ence. 'sShe had 80 little of caprice, so
little of vanity, SO utter an absence of
all petty jealousies and anger; her soul
was made up of 80 much tenderness and
devotion, and yet so imaginative and

NOT A BRIGHT PROSPECT.

On Monday last Mr.. John Redmond
made motion to the effect that the
Queen should dissolve Parliament and
appeal to the country On the issue that
it is the sense Of the people that Ireland
should have q parliament to deal With
her domestic affairs. 1t is surprising
and interesting feet that the Rosebery
government was saved from utter defeat
and consequent djssoluti n by dozen
Conservatives Until recently hope re-
NAMED chat Lord Rosebery would not
violate the solemn pledges so often made
On every issue except the oppression OF
Ireland the Liberals and Conservatives
are unalterably opposed. Nothing is
eurer than that Home Rule has been
side tracked and it is equally certain
that Lord Rosebery will be side tracked
The action of MIR. Redmond clearly shows
that the Parnellites will no longer aid
Rosehery to keep a majority but will
take every opportunity to force dlsso-
luton. It appears that the Liberal party
can pass Scotch or English bills but
nothing for Ireland. There is one thing
certain, however, and that is that Rose
bery's government cannot long hops to
exist through the generosity OF It's enc
mics, The slight Liberal majority is
gradually fading away and the Irish par
ties are becoming more and more dissat-
isfied with Rosebery. The prospect be-
fore the Liberals is certainly gloomy.
Although the party has plenty OF money
to carry on the compaign OF general
election, the most influential Liberals
are refusing to become candidates, be-
cause of the impending ruin to the party.
It is barely possible that the Unlonists
may prefer to postpone dissolution for
some reason or other and that the Rose
berry government may be allowed to
stand until more favorable opportunity
for itsenemies arrives. Certain it is that
the opponents OF tho government have
already allowed two chances tor defeat
ing the ministry to pass. 1t is difficult
to see Just what the outcome OF the gen
eral wrsngle in the Irish party will be.
Mr.. Healy chagrined ct the defeat of his
friends to the Parliamentary committee
and by the small vote which he himself
received has retired from the committee,
although still retaining his seat in Par
lament and his membership in the party.
Mr.. Dillon and Mr.. Mccarthy still give
tbeir unqualified support to the govern
ment. Although the outlook is exceed
ingly gloomy for Ireland, perhaps more
40 than at any time since the organiza-
ton of the Land League, it is better that
matters should be brought to crisis
than to prolong the present method OF
deceit and procrastination.

WARD McALL1srER, New York'e soci-

his last round and gone where the worm

Times. The glittering bubble he pur-
sued showed it's emptiness at his DEATH
for most of the "Four Hundred" he had
created were noticeably absent from his
funeral. We would plant NO thistle upon
the grave of the departed; yet who can
contemplate the career OF such a man
without smile. To create an exclusive
circle of wealth and to call it society was
his dominating ambition; to superintend
it's feastings and gaietiee his proudest
joy. And who are they who mostly COM
pose this mystic number of 400? Crea

Haunt their wealth in the glare of bower

indulgence and very little for the shiver-

arrogance; whose worship is vanity and
whose god is self. The servants that
wait upon their humors are, in all that
constitutes true refinement and nobility,
not ,intrequently their superiors. And
those are they, forsooth. who make go

ious patitudes in the Minneapolis Times
turned aside from his methodical grind
in last Mondays issue to apply epithete
to The IRISH STANDARD. The reason Of
this attack OF the part OF the "Tinaes'' is
because the STANDARD mentioned the
especial interest shown by the journal
and it's tool, the "Times," in the defense
OF Harry Hayward. The manifest IN.
fairness of these papers was the cause OF
a great deal of comment and 1t was com
monty talked that these newspapers were

to receive any verdict that might be rem
dered. The general character of the
Times being we'll known it was thought
that the defense might have purchased
the Times as sort of nursery for pub.

| trial might be so pruned as to suit the
purpose. The Times hastens to say that
this supposition is untrue, but it says SO
in way to convince us that the charge
is true. The attack on the STANDARD is
made in a spirit of anger and vindictive.
ness, which shows that very sore spot
was reached. The following is part of
the exceedingly erudite and convincing
statement:
"The Times has not assumed to de-.
eide the case of Hayward, and pronounce
him guilty in advance of the verdict
of the jury, as "THE IRISH STAND
ARD" snd the Tribune and the
penny Press" to which the "Stand-
ard" plays second fiddle, have done
from the beginning Of the trial and
long before. The trouble with the

JUDGE against The Times among the
Catholics, who are naturally interested
in the conviction of the man who MUIR
dered Miss Cling, the young woman hav-
ing been member of that church.
The calibre OF the Times is we'll illus
trated by the foregoing. It has so long
been playing second fiddle and clamor-
ing to get on the band wagon that peo-
pie have forgotten where it is at. We
know Of only one sectarian sheet in this
city at present and that is the narrow
bigoted juggler of public opinion which
said that the STANDARD sis trying to stir
up prejudice against the Times among
Catholics who are naturally interested in

Miss Cling, the young woman having

it's short existence the Times has been

it's malicious anti Catholic spirit; all
