THE AMENDE HONORABLE.

Last February a dispatch was sent out
giving a purported interview with Car
dinal Moran, of Sydney, N. s. W., in
which that distinguished prelate was
represented as being strongly opposed to
the Irish centennial celebration of 1898.
The Irish Standard, as the staunch Or
gan Of Irish national opinion in the
Northwest, considered it out of place for
any ecclesiastic, no matter how eminent
he may be in the church, to oppose any
demonstration in honor of the immortal
heroes who fought British tyranny to
set Ireland free and lost their lives in
the attempt. Commenting on the Ian
guage attributed to Cardinal Moran in
the published interview we said:
When Catholic prelate in British
colony throws cold water on the SO
movement, which has created a wave of
enthusiasm all over the earth among
men of the Irish race, it is entirely
proper that he should be criticised for
his utterances. He has no authority
from the church to antagonize the ma
tional sentiment among the Irish peo-
pie in their native land, who consider it
their duty on this anniversary to honor
the memory of Wolfe Tone, Lord Ed
ward Fitzgerald and their brave asso-
ciates by the erection of monuments in
Dublin. and by visiting the battlefields
~ l@i,,
defense of their affairs and their homes"
1t now appears that Cardinal Moran
was misrepresented by the Cockney who
furnished the interview with quotation
marks to the American public, and in
justice to the Australian dignitary we
desire that our readers shall know what
little reliance can be placed on any news
relating to Irish affairs chat issues from
the modern Babylbh. The English news
vendors have formed conspiracy

and they have filled lit with lies and

Nothing cmanating afrom such unprinci-
pied scoundrels is tentitled to credence
from honest men, and anything they
now say is discreditea in Europe and
| America until it tsl confirmed from re-
Liable sources. 1t is with much pleas
ure we make the amende honorable TO
Cardinal Moran by producing the fol-
| lowing editorial paragraph from the
Philadelphia Catholic Standard and
| Times:
Some Misrepresentation, inexplicable
in its origin, lately arose with regard to
! the attitude of Cardinal Moran toward
the Irish '9S centenary. 1t was stated
that tho distinguished ecclesiastic had
! expressed himself as decidedly opposed
to the holding of the celebration. as use

Admiral Sampson has reluctantly con-
tradicted the report made by him about
the barbarity of the Spaniards towards
the marines killed after landing on the
coast of Cuba. Their bodies were not
mutilated as reported in the sensational
press. The treatment of Hobson and
his fellow prisoners is all right. The
British consul at Santiago says: "Hob-
son is in spacious front room on the
ground floor of the barracks, in which

through Waiting street for the purpose
Of joining the '9S procession when the

considerable time. and was attended by
Or. Robinson. She was subsequently

The oft-repeated story of Archbishop
Ireland and his box Of cartridges at the
battle Of Corinth is again going on it's
periodic rounds. This time it has been
started out by the Detroit Journal and
is extensively copied. The Irish Stand
ard fondly hoped it had knocked the
yarn into a cooked hat or consigned il
to "innocuous desuetude" or everlast-
ing oblivion, but it comes up fresh as
ever with sensational embellishments.
The story is destined to survive in
spite of everything said by way of cor
rection and explanation, and the future
historian will record it in the annals of
the civil war for the delectation of gem
erations of patriots yet unborn.

Philippine islands is essential to The
commercial supremacy of the United
States in the Far East. He is conse-
quently in favor of their retention
whether the natives aspire to national
independence or not. Mr.. Hill is a
typical monopolist who represents the

they can without any regard to "a

have placed Union Jack over the tomb

to entwine the Stars and Stripes with

to the late Cardinal Cullen, we
did not see anything surprising In the
statement, inasmuch as that great can
onist was by no means an enthusiastic
Irish nationalist, and 1t was but natural
to suppose that one so closely related to
him and placed in such intimate rela-
lions daily for several years must be
imbued, even insensibly, by his views
and sentiments. 1t was probably this
knowledge that inspired the publication
OF the statement attributed to his emf
nence, and which would now seem to
have been nothing more than an effort
of the IMAGINATION. Such an attitude on
the Cardinals part would hardly be
compatible with the fact that we now
have on the authority of Reuter- tel

function connected with it-a requiem
