Belfast is universally known to be the
seat and center of Protestant ascendancy
in Ireland. 1t is the hotbed of Orange
ism and the cradle of the A. P. A. pa
triots who infest this country. That ac-
counts for the fact that no Catholic has
ever held seat in the council or re-
ceiyed any position within the gift of
the municipality. Catholics are entirely
ignored because they are in the minority
and are looked upon as pariahs who have
no rights that loyal Orangemen are
bound to respect. Knowing all this a
liberal Protestant minister of the city on
recent occasion had the temerity Of
complimenting the Catholics oh their
exemplary Christian behavior and the
result was that he was soon charged with
heresy. Had he the fear of Orangemen
before his eyes and attacked his Catholic
fellow citizens after the fashion Of ''roar
ing Hanna he would have been canon
lied as saint before his death.

been steadily increasing ever since, and
now number 30,O00,0Oo inhabitants.
Scotland has been steadily increasing
also, and now numbers 4,OOo,0 200 inhabi-
tants. Ireland, on the other hand,
through the losses from emigration, has
declined from 100000 to 4,50o,0OO An
interesting computation has recently
been made of the provinces of Ireland
from which emigration has come. In
forty-five years the province of Munster,
which includes a majority of the coun-
ties of the south of Ireland, has lost
1,250,000 Inhabitants by emigration. Ul-
ster, In the north, has lost 100000.
Leinster in the east Of Ireland has lost
100000, and Connaught in the west Of
Ireland, more sparcely populated re-
gion, has lost $4,000. Compared with the
figures of forty years ago, Munster has
lost IS per cent, Ulster Sc, Leinster Al,
and Connaught 63.

England would be received into the
Catholic fold. The head of the Engllsn
church is a. Protestant and the over
wheln1ing majority OF the governing
class is also Protestant, and for that rea-
son we are not at all sanguine that the
country will change it's faith during Tie
reign of the present pontiff or his imme-
date successors.
There is more likelihood of America
becoming Catholic than England. The
people are more intelligent and liberal
minded and when they are convinced OF
the truths of the Catholic religion they
will desert their man made creeds for
the faith established by Christ. There
is considerable talk at present in this
country for the unification OF the
churches. and if unity is not effected
amity may follow. The Cotholic priests
and Protestant ministers are mingling
together more than formerly, and they
respect each other the better they are &C
quainted. There may be possibility OF
harmonious coalition of the churches
in the country at some future day. Many
eminent clergymen of the various de-
nominations are now discussing the con-
ditions upon which the Catholic and Pro-
testant churches could unite. In re-
cent Letter on the subject Mgr. Satolll SAID
that the conditions of unity would have
to be settled by long and careful consider
alton: but that the Catholic church
would stand firm in requiring the accept
ance of the entire deposit Of Christian
faith as possessed by her alone.

THE MONEY QUESTION.

We publish today an interesting in
terview with Archbishop Ireland on the
money question. Whatever the Arch
bishop says on any subject is entitled to
respectful consideration and though The
Irish Standard does not endorse his
views, it is willing to give them circula-
ton in it's pages. The Archbishop is a
monometallist of the gold standard, while
we are bimetallist, who believe that sill
yer should not be Disseminated against
in favor of the yellow metal. In theol-
ogy we are ready to follow the great
priest of st. Paul as an unerring guide,
but in finance we prefer to follow Arch
bishop Walsh, of Dublin, and Rev. DR..
Lambert, of the New York Freeman's
Journal
The political economists say that gold
and silver, the precious metals, are used
for money because of being limited in
supply. Gold is more precious than sill
yer because it is scarcer. Before 1873
one grain of gold was worth 151z grains
of silver in the worlds exchange, and
that is the ratio still maintained in
France, the most prosperous country in
the world. Since 1873 in this country
silver has deprecated because twas de-
monetized by congressional legislation
The fall in the price of silver since then
is not due to the production Of that metal
in excess of gold, but because of it's re-
ceiving "black eye'' in Washington,
where a conspiracy was enacted against
the worlds coin in the interests of mon
ey lenders, bankers and financial specu-
lators. Why cannot the United States
do as we'll as France with the white
metal and adopt the 15h to ratio: The
gold-bug organs decry silver and de-
nounce those who advocate it's remoniti-
zation as traitors to the republic. They
imagine that they themselves monopo-
lie all the patriotism of the country, or
they pretend to be the embodiment Of
is one upon which American citizens can
honestly disagree, and it is in bad taste,
to say the least Of it, for Republican gold
organs, like the Evening Journal. of this
city, to pour out it's wrath upon loyal
Americans whom it fails to convince with
fallacious arguments against silver.

passed away In Secretary Gresham. IN
the three-fold character of soldier, Judge
and statesmen he was eminent, as he
possessed the social virtues in large de-
gree. During the civil war he rose tic
the rank of major general Of volunteers,
and for fourteen years was United States
circuit judge for Illinois. He was post
master general and secretary of the
treasury under President /. Arthur, and
was serving as secretary of state in
fCleyeland's cabinet when death carried
him off. At the Republican convention
in Chicago In 1883 he was one of the can
didates for the presidential nomination
but failed to get it. He grew into dis
favor with the extreme protectiOnists in
his party because of his liberal views on
the tariff, and after Cleyeland's nomina-
tion he announced his allegiance to the
Democracy and advocated Cleveland's
election. For this he was rendered the
portfolio of secretary OF state In Cleve-
lands cabinet and accepted it. He as
sumed the duties of his office on March Z,
1893, and during the short time he served
he gave evidence of possessing high quail
flcations as statesman and proved him
self thoroughly patriotic American in
his negotiations with foreign nations.
He displayed strong individuality in the
treatment of diplomatic affairs and
viewed every question from the stand
point of exact and equal justice. Almost
his last official act before he fell mortally
Ill about month ago was to open corre-
spondence with the French republic to
secure justice for ex-United States Con-
sui Waller, whom he believed to have
been nnjustly treated by the French
court martial in Madagascar, and in
whose interest he notified Ambassador
Eustis to interfere and seek redress. The
late secretary was profoundly versed in
the history and government OF his coun-
try and had sound knowledge OF the
various measures of past administration,
of the great political debates and the men
who figured in them. He understood the
relation of the United States to foreign
nations thoroughly, and in his capacity
as secretary Of state he sought to apply
the principles of justice to international
controversies. He was faithful and con-
scientious in the performance of his off,
cial duties, and in private life he was
kind, generous and frank. His death Is
deeply regretted by all Americans with
out regard to political affiliations. 1t is
not vet known who his successor will be,
but Villas, Whitney and Dickinson are
mentioned to fill the vacancy.

IRISH IMMIGRATION.

The emigration from Ireland to other
countries was actually less last year than
in any year since 1851, and relatively
lower than In any year except between
1875 and 1873. The total YVES $3.50, all
but sixty-four Of whom were Irish born.
It was 12,2S7 lower than in 1893, nearly
$4,000 lower than In 1892, nearly $4,000
less than in 1891, less than half the to-
tai of 1883, and less than one-third the
total for 1883.
Ireland has suffered more severely
from losses by emigration than any other
country in the world. From 1920 to 1880.
81, 900 Irish emigrants landed in the
United States. From 1880 to 1910 the
number was 207, 1000. From 1S40 to 1850
it was 100000. From 1850 to 1860 the
emigration from Ireland was $4,000 to
the United States. In the next ten years,
which included the civil war in this coun-
try and better times and better crops in
Ireland, the total was $4,000. Fran 1870
to 1880 it was 100000. From 1881 to 1882
it rose again to 10000, making the to-
tai number of Irish emigrants who land
ed in this country since 1920, and prior
to that time, when the figures were less
exact, about 100000. The popula-
ton of ireland is about 100000, so that
including the emigration to Canada and
Australia, which has been extensive,
MI oh
ably have left their country to seek homes
elsewhere than are now in 1t. No other
country in the world offers such an ex-
ample of wholesale depopulation as Ire
land. Usually the emigration has been
large when the times have been poor,
following famine and bad crops, and
small when the times have been fairly
good. Under these circumstances it is
very reassuring to know that emigration
from Ireland has fallen below the figures
of any year since 1851. That the condi-
ton of business in the United States does
not furnish the reason for the falling off
Of the Irish emigration to this country
is shown by the fact that there has been
a corresponding decrease to other coun-
tries. In the year last reported $4,000
emigrants arrived in the United States
from abroad, Germany being at the head
Of the list with $4,000, Italy second with
Al 900, Russia third with $4,000, Ireland
fourth with $4,000, and the three coun-
tries Of scandinavia furnishing an equal
number. IRE

SAM SMALL ON BtGOTRY
He Says Anti-Catholfc Talk Is.
Worse Than Lunacy.

He Says Anti-catholic Talk Is.
Worse Than Lunacy..
Sam Small, the noted evangelist, is
editor Of the Evening News, Norfolk.
Va. Under the caption, "The Anti-Cath-
Ollie Crusade, he says: -
What is it all about, anyhow? This is
a land Of religious freedom, and the faith
full devotees of the Roman Catholic relig-
ion have as good a right to the liberties '
of the land as. Episcopalians, Methodists
or Baptists. No matter whence they
come, they are entitled, when they are ..
citizens, to worship God according to the
dictates of their own consciences. Any
feeling of enmity fomented against them
because of their faith and religious allie
glance is unchristian, un-American, I'M
just and undefensible. Those who are
guilty of such Indictment are neither
good men, good patriots nor good follow
ers Of Jesus Christ.
The honest, manly Catholic is no more,
and oftimes not as much the servile sub
ject of the Pope as most Methotlists are
of the bishops who often rule them with
an autocratic power that Romanism can
not we'll match. No Catholic can ever
become more a hereto, even by denying
the dogma of papal infallibility, than Dr.
Briggs is said to be for refusing point
blank submission to certain Presbypter-
ian standards. And Roman priest
would hardly bring down upon his head
for reputation of the Blessed Virgins
offices greater swarm of singing re-
Dukes than the Episcopal priest, DR.. He
Der Newton, has suffered for his opinions
Of the resurrection.
But 1t is charged that the Roman Cath
olics take the same part in politics. Do
not the other churces do the same?
What caused the present division OF the
Methodist Churches North and South?
Likewise Of the Baptist and Presbyterian
denominations? What of the ten. thou
sand resolutions affecting politics and
national policy adopted from time to
time In UNCONVENTIONAL assemblies
throughout the Union? Beware the
glass house!
Well they get money from the public
treasures for their schools and charities!
Yes, and Protestant politicians vote 1t to
them. And other denominations share
the appropriations with them We could
wish very heartily that all national mon
eys were as we'll deserved and well spent
as the appropriations made to aid gov
eminent schools for Indians and hpspi-
tails for the INDECENT conducted by depu-
ties from the Catholic orders.
Last of all, it is charged that the Ro-
manists want to rule the nation. If they
are in the majority in the United States,
or can command majority Of the votes, J
what Jaw is there to prevent them from
dominating the governments. Until
some such law is made we see no way to
keep them from that right whenever they
can cast more votes than the Protestants.
The truth is that all this anti Catholic
talk is worse than lunacy We are in no
more danger in this country from Pope
and priests than we are from Fresbyter-
ians and "perfectionists.' w The nation
will live and prosper and the people will
never more readily and easily give UP
their religious than their civil and polit-,
ical liberties.

The indications are that the English
Liberal party under Lord Roseberry's
leadership will soon throw up the sponge
and dissolve parliament. A general cleo
ton will then follow and the probabili-
ty Is that the Tories will come into DOW
er. Notwithstanding the allegiance of
the Irish party the Liberals have done
but little for Ireland since Gladstone's
retirement. The Home Rule bill was re-
jected by the Lords and has remained
in innocuous desuetude, the Irish piliti-
cal prisoners have not been pardoned and
liberated and the coercion act has not
been abolished. Verify, the Irish party
has gained little by coalition with the
Liberals.

DISASTER OF THE HoLLoWs.

irish CaLlOllCS LII every Souh'iJ
throughout the world will synpathize
most heartily with the authorities OF All
Hallows College in the disaster that has
befallen that great institution, says the
Dublin Freeman's Journal of recent
date. All Hallows is the greatest of the
Irish missionary colleges. 1t represents
in these modern days those great old
schools of Christian Ireland from which
went forth band after band of Jealous
missionaries bringing light to Pagan
lands and rolling back the tide or bar
barism that threatened to engulf Euro
pean civilization. The College Is devot-
ed wholly to the task of training young
Irishmen called to the high task of the
Catholic ministry throughout the whole
English-speaking world. In America,
North and South, in Australia, in India,
in Africa, the Irish priests it has pre-
pared for the worthy discharge OF the
duties for their sacred calling are labour-
ing for the salvation of souls and the eie-
walton of humanity. No fewer than fif-
teen hundred Irish missionaries
made their vows at the altar that was
DESTROYED on Monday morning. There
are at present ruling in the Church
through greater Ireland seven Prelates
who were ordained to the priesthood at
the same altar and who made their
studies in the famous college The new
Archbishop of Adelaide, DR.. O'Reilly, is
an old student of All Hallows; so also
are the Bishop of Grafton, DR.. Doyle. and
the Conductor Bishop of Hobart, DR.. De-
lany. In America the Bishops OF Duluth,
Omaha and Salt Lake are all sons Of All
Hallows The Bishop Of Rosseau In the
West Indies is another. These names
represent the wide spiritual field for
which this grand old College trains the
husbandman. What Maynooth is to Ire
land, All Hallows is, in manner, to the
greater Ireland beyond the seas. Irish
Catholics will, therefore, deplore disas-
ter that must for time greatly hamper
the conductors of the College in their
work. The loss unfortunately is only
partially covered by insurance. But it
should not be allowed to interfere for a
moment longer than is absolutely neces-
sary with the success of this institution,
of which every Catholic Irishman who
knows the history of his Church in its
early days of struggle among the new
communities of the English-speaking
world is proud. The charity If Irishmen
at home and abroad will repair this loss,
and raise a chapel worthy to be the
shrine where will be offered for genera
lions to come the dedication of the lives
and talents of these young Irishmen call
ed to maintain the noble traditions of
the Irish priesthood in piety and patri-
otism throughout that broad empire
which the Irish race has conquered for
the old faith Of their fathers
