an Irish song for her. The young lady

request, and going to the piano she sang

ness Of her heart
Commenting on this story the Boston
Pilot sarcastically says
There is something essentially pathetic
in this picture Of Her Majesty suddenly
discovering that Ireland was most dis
tressful country. and weeping over it's
sad lot. 1t recalls the memorable time
when Mark Twain shed tears over the
tomb of his ancestor Adam. saying: IL
never knew him. and he. alas. never
knew me. He died five thousand years

A Baptist minister Of Camden, N. j.,
with the Orange name of Kerr Boyce
Upper, said in recent address that
IA per cent of the Irish Immigrants were
criminals discharged from jails. The
editor of the Philadelphia Standard and
Times wrote 10 the Commissioner of Inn
migration at Ellis Island, DR.. J. Fl. Sen
ner. who is German. asking him if
what Topper said is true, and by return
mail received an answer saying that the
reverend gentlemans statement was
based on misinformation. II am posi-
tive. said DR.. Senner. las a result of close
observation of the matter for a number of
years past that hardly a fraction of one
per cent of such immigrants could be
properly classed as discharged GRIMM
ais, and as a matter of fact, Irish immi-
grants are almost invariably found to be
quite eligible for admission. and are, as
a class, considered among the most desir-
able acquisitions to our country, largely
because of the readiness with which they
assimllate here" We have not learned
that the slanderous Upper has yet apollo
gized for his lying.

Chicago dispatch dated June % saws:
Roman Catholic priests in Chicago are
observing this jubilee day of England s
queen by celebrating dead masses for ihe
spiritual rcpOse of lrishmen whose deaths
are charged against English misrule in
the Emerald Isle. Rev. Thomas p. Hold
nett, pastor of st. Malachi's church, is
father to the idea of this deeply religious
protest against laudation of Britain's SOW
ereign. Priests of Irish ancestry through
out the city generally join in giving the
Idea expression. The movement is in no
sense official. as cmanatng from the high
chuN authorities. 1t is the exercise by
priests of individual prerogatives. At st,
Malachi's church the celebrants were
robed In black vestments. and the service
had all the characteristics of the funeral
mass.

PRAYERS FOR THE QUEEN

BlSnOp GlennOn, OF Kansas City, was
visited the other day by committe Of
the local Victoria Diamond Jubilee AS
ISOLATION" who requested that prayers be
offered for her Britannia majesty in all
the Catholic churches under his juris-
diction. The anglomaniacs nearly faint
ed when his grace said: II shall order
no prayers for Englands queen in our
churches. More. | shall. if necessary,
expressly prohibit such prayers in all
churches in this diocese Our people
have no occasion to invoke special bless
ings on Queen Victoria. AS good wom-
an we admire her; as a queen we have no
prayers to offer for her." Well said,
Bishop; it is sufficient to the Catholics
of Kansas City and other places to pray
for the president of the United States
and others in high stations, as they al
ways do from their prayer books when
attending divine worship. The Irish
Catholics. who solemnly renowned all
allegiance to her majesty (of whom they
were unhappy subjects) when becoming
citizens of the United States, are sure
not to petition the throne of grace in her
behalf. Let the British loyalists and
American royalists do that When Irish

CAGES CURRENCY PLAN.

A special dispatch from Washington to

rotary of the Treasury Lyman ]. Gage is
at work on scheme of currency reform
which he has submitted to financiers in

criticism. After receiving their opinions
Mr.. Gage will submit his financial plan
to congress and urge its adoption. The

posed by his predecessor. Secretary Car

lions have been compelled to emigrate. -
What a terrible determination of people

circulation instead of to the exetent of 80
reduce the tax on national bank circula-
tion to one-fourth of one per cent,
and to issue no denomination of national
bank notes under $40, thus practically
substituting silver for paper money be-
low that amount
This plan. of course, will receive the
approval of every financier that Mr.. Gage
has consulted. They are the bankers,
and their judgment on financial affairs
is infallible in their own estimation,
especially when they reap benefit, as
they undoubtedly will in this case.
The plan OF Mr.. Gage is national
banking measure, pure and simple There
may be good reasons for amending the
national banking system as ii exists at
present; but we see no good reason, and
Mr.. Gage cannot give it. for retiring the
$346,OO0,000 greenbacks now in circula-
ton. His scheme Is pernicious one, and
no man but banker would think of it.
II 10 uUl 'Cuiieucy feIOfu at all. why
retire the greenbacks, the treasury notes,
the silver certificates. and replace them
by national bank notes? They are all
redeemable in coin. and coin" is either
gold or silver at the discretion of the
secretary of the treasury. They are legal
tender for all payments except duties
upon imports and interest upon the public
debt of the United States. Mr.. Gage has
the option of paying in either gold or
silver. Why not follow the example of
Daniel Manning and pay in silver for
while? If national bank notes are issued
instead of greenbacks 1t will be necessary
to issue more bonds, and that is what the
spectators of Wall street are after. If
Cages plan is adopted the people Of this
country will be at the complete mercy of
the bankers and bond spectators. His
scheme of currency reform is sham
and we trust the representatives of the
people in Washington will repudiate it.

discharged because they were Catholics.

there will be no Catholic teachers in the

Monday night In the House of Com
mons thirty-eight followers of John Dill
lon voted with him against the Queen
address. Mr.. Dillon spoke vehemently
and denounced the administration Of Ire
land during the last sixty years. He was
frequently interrupted by the Tories and
vociferously cheered by the Irish men,
bers. He was followed by Redmond in
milder speech against the address, and
only seven Irish members voted with
him! The Tories were so exasperated
that they INDUCED in threats against the
Irish members.

Tesla, the great electrician, who was
formerly ii co-laborer of Edison's, has
perfected an instrument by which he can
telegraph without wires for distance Of
twenty miles. He says he will begin at
once the construction Of other apparatus
which will enable him to hold intercourse
with any part OF the globe without a
wire. Some of the noted electricians
think it cannot be done: but Tesla has
no doubt of his ability to perform the
wonderful feat.
