That sterling Irish patriot, ex-Con-
gresham John F. Finerty, whose
clarion voice for Irish freedom has been
heard through the length and breadth
Of the land, deplores the exodus from
ireland of the beautiful young women
who recently arrived in New York to
become servants in American families.
He believes that the repatriation of
"the daughters of an ancient, honora-
BILE and gallant race" from the land Of
their nativity to perform domestic serv-
ice in the great cities Of America Is
sad commentary upon English rule in
Ireland. He does not blame the girls
for flying from. conditions that very
nearly approach those Of Mexican peon-
age, but he dislikes them to become
household drudges for women who are
inferior to them in birth and lineage.
On this point he truly says: Not that
domestic service is, in itself, ignomint-
GUS, but it does seem incongruous to
have the daughters of people whose
history dates back $500 years, the serv-
itors of mistresses nine-tenths of whom
have not pedigrees hundred years old.
and many Of whom, in their purse
proud insolence and ignorance, will look
down with contempt on ''the Bridgets,"
as they call them, whose forefathers
were chiefs and warriors when Moses
lived and David ruled, whereas the
grandfathers Of their "mistresses" were
plotting canal boats, or peddllng otter
skins, in the rivers of Manhattan or at
the mouth Of the Columbia, at the open
ing Of this. century.

It appears that the Catholics cannot
have chapel at West Point after all.
The secretary Of war gave them permits
sion to erect one; the A.P.A.' g and the
Protestant ministers protested, and now
comes Mr.. McKenna, of McKinley's cab
met, a Catholic himself, and says it is
against the law to build a place of wor-
ship for Uncle Sans Catholic soldiers.
We are beginning to think that Mr.. Me-
Kenna is weakening in the face Of big
otry. T. is only few weeks ago that
an institute for the use Of Catholic SOL
diers was erected on the Curragh of Kill
dare at cost of $4,000, and at its open
ing Lord Roberts. commander of Her
Majesty's troops in Ireland, made
speech in which he expressed his graft
fcation at having such a building for
'the moral and spiritual welfare" of
the British soldiers Of the Catholic
faith. He returned thanks to Father
Delaney, the chaplain, for his efforts in
behalf of the institute And here in this
country the Presbyterians in general as
sembly cheered vociferously because
Catholic, dressed in brief authority"
decided that the young men Of the Cath
Ollie faith learning the art of war at
West Point could not have little
chanel in which to attend divine wor-
ship on Sundays. Yet we. boast Of free
dom of thought" in this grand republic
