The Oxford Register uses a COL

do with the present stagnation Of

that our troubles came from disar-

The Voice fully agrees that much of
our trouble comes from the source

insist that it is impossible for this or
any other nation to ignore the i'm

1T is HORRIBLE.

Many congressman have recently re-
ceived the following: i ~74
"The undersigned, citizens of the Unit
ed States, who are Of foreign birth, but
who are the only true defenders Of this
glorious country, recognizing the fact
that this country knows no religion and
fearing that the Jesuits will obtain. full
control of this free land of ours, point
with alarm our warning fingers to the
fact that, owing to some hidden and evil
influence, the free and heretofore uncOn-
luuered grass of our beloved country ap-
pears to be getting greener than is usual
this spring; and recognizing in this the
sinister hand of Popery and the scarlet
lady, we petition congress to pass a law
and an appropriation to prevent In some
manner this insidious plan from being
carried out, as it means in the end the
subversion of the sacred rights for which
our forefathers fought and bled.''
Verify, the country is going to the DEM
nition bow-wows, but after all the Cath
olic Standard and Times is responsible
for the petition. "

GROWERS BROTHER.

President Cleyeland's brother is a Pres
byterian preacher at Chaumont, a small
town in the interior Of New York. and he
is now in peck Of trouble with members
of his congregation because OF his
politics. He is a Democrat and
he has been told that had it been
known that he believed in the party of
jefferson and Jackson that he would have
been passed by and some. one with McKin-
ley ideas would have been selected. He
was told also that it was not possible for
man to be Christian and a Democrat at
the same period Of his life and this, OF
course, is very interesting information.
What that Congregation should now do is
to retain the services Of Bob Ingersoll. Bob
is very. holy man, IS good Republican,
and recently has taken orders and been
confirmed and anointed and will one day
be canonized. Bob is the man for the job.
He is the coming divine lu1ninary in the
Presbyterian church and it would be
difficult to make better selection.

MUSIC FOR IRELAND.

One Of the sweetest songs that has
pleased the ear of the public for a long tine
past is the one just published entitled
s.When at Last We Have Home Rule in
Erin It was composed by Oscar F. G
Day, of the Tribune staff Of this city, the
music being arranged by John T. Hall.
The sentiment is beautiful and the music
touching and inspiring. The names Of the
prominent leaders of Ireland are inter
woven in a fitting way. The refrain has
the true Celtic ring:
"Then drive on, brave heroes, success will
attend We,
Dear Ireland, your effort is cheerin':
The Coleens will smile and the brogue be
in style ---. @
When at last we have home rule III Erin. y
The song is presented in most attrac-
tive manner, the front being emblazoned
in green and gold... 1t is certain
that it will soon be- heard from
the lips Of every singer and that
we Will catch the music on the streets,
which will be a proof of it's popularity. Mr..
Day has scored triumph in a. musical way
in contributing to the public, and especially
to the lovers of Irish music, such gem.

!. MORALS AND THE STATE.

Bishop Potter, speaking before the
Young Mems Christian Association of
Newburgh, said: whether we belong to
one party or the ether, when it comes to
an issue iii which the foundations ,of
morals are threatened, we are the serv-
ants of the Lord Jesus Christ. What has
that to say as to the safety Of the state ?
1t is first of all to say this to any man
who seeks an Office who holds it, or who
contributes in any way to put any other
man into it, that the question concern
ing which we want to be satisfied with
him is not whether he is loyal to the par
ty whose colors he bears, but whether in
the discharge Of the duty to which that
party may choose him he proposes to put
party gain or advantage over and above
his duty to the God whose child he is,
and to the Master whose sacred name he
bears
That is standard, but some force is
needed to be put in operation to induce
or. compel people to live up to the
standard

"A BISHOP EXILE.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Catho-
Ec. Union and Times, refers to Bishop
O'Gorman's '.exl:le' in South Dakota, says
the Colorado Catholic. Our contemporary,
Of course, realizes. that for such man as
O'Gorman no place on earth where human
souls are found can beam exile, while it
pays him a worthy and beautiful tribute,
recognizing as do all who know him, the
apostolic zeal and noble character Of the
man. 4s
Bishop O'Gcrman will minister effica-
ciously to the needs of the Catholics of
South Dakota, but South Dakota will not
Place limitations to his marked culture, his)
genial character or his giant intellect:
While the Colorado Catholic, in common
with all it's friends regrets that the Catho-
lie University has lost the services of such
a distinguished professor, It rejoices that he
has been called to the larger field where
no limitation IS placed on his scholarship,
which in future will have the greater force
of a larger authority.
No matter how skilled, or learned, or able
the priest may be IN comparison with the
bishop, the good that is in him is naturally
limited because of circumscribed opportu-
mites Hence we say that there is no such
thing as 'exile" for such man as Bishop
O'Gorman. We believe he is destined to
accomplish great things for the church IN
the United States We know that these are
the sentiments of the Union and Times
also. .

woMENLY wonEN.

Recently women got out an edition Of the
Rochester Post-Express and the Democrat
and Chronicle of that city makes. fitting
comment to the effect that: When women
undertake to occupy what heretofore has
been almost exclusively field for mems
activity, they should not try to make Their
work just like the mems. 1t should be in
vested with the feminine soul. There
should be a shaping and color:ng which Will
reveal the subtle, sensitive, delicate touches
of the feminine hand: The bearded, basso-
profundo woman is as great monstros.ty
in literature as she is in dime museum.
Weakness is not an essential of fem:nin:ty.
The grasp of many a gentle woman's hand
is as strong as steel, yet signals by mys-
terious influence the innate gentleness,
sweetness and modesty of it's owner.
Contact with the world" will never de-
stroy this quality of womanliness in the
true woman. She can endure the grinding
hardships Of penury; she may engage IN the
necessary strife Of competition; she may as
an angel of mercy gaze upon the beastliness
Of the slums: she may with ministering
hands. walk amid tae coarse, savage and
bloody scenes of the battlefield, with all It's

touch and glance and whisper Of pity and
of hope, aye, by her mere presence, an at
mosphere whose balm every human being
will know comes from wonlan's nature.
Let the woman not shrink from the world.
She is of It. The world needs her. It is
brighter and better for her participation in
it's activities The glare Of daylight is
sweeter for the freshness Of the dawn, the
blue of the heavens, the resplendence of
the western sky at eventide Work is easier
for whatever softens and beauties life.
Men are better and purer for their gl:mpses

after lingering illness of nearly year.
Mr.. Healy came to this city in the early
fifties and had resided here UP to the time
Of his demise. He was 66 years Of age and
at one time was engaged in the boot and

NEW I ND BILL.

The British pariiament..-is about to pass
new land bill for ireland, but It viii be
framed in suca a way that It will bear any
number of&construction3 or interpretations
There is one construction, however, which
It IS not expected to bear, and that is Of be-
ing any benefit to Ireland. =
Concerning it, however, John Howard
Parne.l, brother. of the late Charles Stewart
Parnell, when in TINS country recently said
''Balfour's bill has many good points, but
Of course It would never settle and was
never meant to settle the Irish land ques-
ton. No British government will do that.
comprehensive settlement of that prob
lem can only be effected by an Irish par
lament iii Dublin. The .evicted ten
ants are IN a bad way and the people are
.tsrad and weary waiting for relief. This
|bi1l contains some measure OF relief, but
then it is only bill, and even If It should
pass, such measures are SO enlasculated that
it would be difficult to recognize them when
they reach the House of Lords and still
more difficult to do go when they get back
from the Gilded Chamber. However,
hope It may pass, for it contains some things
which are good, notably the purchase
clauses, which would tend largely to the de-
velopment Of peasant proprietary. It
provides for the purchase Of the farm by
the tenant at so many years rental. Each
year the payment will decrease and at the
end Of. the time fixed upon, say fifteen or
twenty years. the purchaser will be given
tae title. It will be much easier method
of purchasing the land than at present, be-
cause the burden becomes Lighter, each year
and in the end the people buy the land out
right 81
Regarding the evicted tenants Mr.. Par
nell said there appeared to be little hope
for them by way Of and from the govern
nent Relief has been provided SO far by
the generosity Of the people themselves.
Mr. Balfour acknowledges that no clause
looking to the relief Of the evicted tenants
would be inserted in the bill by the. govern
ment and that it would be labor lost by the
Irish members to make a fight on those
lines, so that taking everything into con-
sideration the miserable. evicted tenants
have nothing to hope for and the people
generally on the land question have not
much to encourage them. :.

Has Been q Close Observer.
Negus Menelek of Abyssinia address,
ed the following letter to Mr.. F. S. r.
Clarke, an English missionary, on Feb. 3:
"You are mistaken in believing that
do not care for your prayers. All prayers
of believers are dear to me, even when
they come from the children Of Europe.
Not all are aggressors in my kingdom;
not all commit the iniquity of attacking
those whom they hope to find weaker
than themselves; not all have bent the
knee before Baal, the god of destruction
and the, slaughterer of brothers Many,
am sure, still truly adore the God of the
cross, the God Of justice and peace. With
them l feel in perfect communion OF
faith and am happy that they pray for
tne, for my household, and my people.
II only wish that they would make
truth dwell in the sanctuary, and that
instead Of mutilated gospel, which ex-
plains the confusion and the infldelity of
the peoples of Europe, they would relirn
and lead others back to the true gospel
which began with the creation of the
world.
"By what right do they sfface the whole
portion of it which precedes the coming
of Jesus Christ, and have they done
away with what God established for all
time?
"What you call the Old Testament is
as true as the New, and what is contained
in it must be respected and observed by
those who follow Jesus and the apostles.
announced by the prophets
"Never did Jesus abolish the distinctive
mark of his race since. He was subject
ed to it by his holy mother on the eighth
day. To suppress thus what God es-
tablished from age to age and from for
ever to forever" is to weaken the faith,
is to furnish the same spectacle shown
by the Christians of Europe. 1t is not
only without that they use violence, but
also within, against the Jews, who are,
nevertheless, Christian souls, and to
whom we owe our Savior. There are
more than 100000 Of them in my king
dom, and. though they enjoy almost com
and industrious subjects. They never
ccnspire, pay all tributes, and respect
our abuna as much as do the Christians.
If they are worse in Europe it is because
the Christians, too, are worse. 'Our Lord
Jesus forgave them on the cross. Why
| should we persecute them? You, at least,
do not persecute them. May the other
Christians Of Europe initiate you
