THE IRISH PATRIOTS OF 90.

In Ireland at present the press and
people are speaking fearlessly of his
toric '98. The centennial year was
ushered In by imposing torch-llght pro-
cessions in all the principal cities and
preparations are being made throughout
the country for the reception and en-
tertainment Of the exiles Of Erin who
will visit their native land this summer
to participate in honoring the brave
men who died for Ireland 100 years ago.
The Irish-American papers are devot-
ing considerable space to memorable
'9S. and here in tho Northwest the
Irish Standard as usual will furnish it's
readers with all necessary information
on a subject so interesting to them.
Every [rishman worth his salt who re-
sides in the vast territory visited by
tho Irish Standard should feel proud
Of the heroic struggle for liberty by The
glorious men OF '9S in the face of over
whelming odds. With rude weapons and
led by unskilled officers they met the
barbaric soldiery Of England and killed
10000 of them in the space of four
months. 1t is estimated that 1000 Of
the insurgents, including women and
children, persisted during tho brief &c
is intended to honor their memories
The centenary Of '9S, as the Dublin
Frecman's Journal says, is that of
rebellion which failed, but which failed
gloriously; a rebellion In which noble
lives were staled and lost, in which
the best blood Of Ireland was split, and
for the moment split In vain, but which
nevertheless. remains to lrishmen a
sweetcr memory than the greatest
glories of Britain. The men of 9S be-

into more extreme courses and forced
into rebellion by the brutalties
and excuses Of the British soldiery.

strength against the editice of Castle

their country. But after one hundred

PRIESTS ON THE sCAFFO1D

Under this caption our contemporary
or the Cream City" the Catholic Cri-
zen. contained Il leading article in last
weeks ISSUE In which 1t enormously
stated that Harry Hayward called for
the service of Catholic priest on the
eve OF his execution in this city, We
ocslre to correct our esteemed coutem-
porary on that point. After his arrest
ana while prisoner in the Hcnncdn
county jail Hayward sent for Father
James Nj. Clcary who promptly 70
spoha3d and outlined a course of relis-
lous study for him preparatory to his
reception into the church. Instead t.f
following the priests instructions Hay
ward was proclaiming his Innocence
and showed no signs of repentance for
his awful crime. FIR. Cleary told him
plainly that there was scarcely n man
woman or child In the city who did not
believe In his guilt and that the Jury
would so determine. lie Informed him
that he would surely be hanged, AMI
that il no did not prepare himself for
eternity in accordance with his direc-
lions he would have to get some other
spiritual adviser. The priest departed
and Hayward never sent for him after
wards. He died impenltcnt and no
clergyman Of any denomination attend
ed him on tho scaffold. These are tho
facts in the case. and we chcerfully
give them for the information of our
milwaukee, contemporary. The other
criminals mentioned. Holmes and DR.
rant sought the spiritual consolation of
the Catholic church, and priests ,c-
companied them to the scaffold and re-
manned beside them until the hang
man had performed his work.
We do not agree with our contempor-
airy of the Cream City" when 1t fur
ther says: "The appearance Of priest

tial. How many good men die, after

centenary of the United Irishmen. They
were at once the most moderate AMI
extreme of all Irish patriots. They were
believers in a parliamentary movement
and In an open agitation. Lord Edward
Fitzgerald, one of the figures amongst
them who has most struck posterity
with admiration, was member of par
lament himself. They were all driven
from parliamentary politics to rebel
Lon by the persecution of the govern
ment.
The treeman's Journal declares that
the object of the celebration is to show
England and the world that Ireland is
mot down in the dust and a shame to
I've seen that She is still a nation,
that she rejects with scorn the badge
of British province, that her people,
great and small, defend the men, and
honor them who, by any and every
method, sought to sake off the shackles
of foreign tyranny.
We are happy to observe that there is
disposition on the part of the faction
leaders to cease their wrangling during
this present year. Since the opening
Of 1898 we notice that the different sec
items OF the Irish Nationalist have
given up their chickering's and appear
to be united in celebrating the menu
cries of the heroic dead who gave
their lives to the cause OF their country.
We trust that peace will reign on the
liffey. Lee and Shannon during the
present year and that the thousands of
lrish-Americans who are preparing to
cross the ocean will return home with
feelings of admiration for their kindred
In the old land. We hope to have
really united Ireland in this memorable
year in honor of the United Irish
men of the last century who sacrificed
their lives In the cause of freedom.
Let lrtshmen at home see to it that
their conduct will be such as to merit
the respect as we'll as the affection of
the sea-divided Gaels.

Stewart Gamble, the Minneapolis drug
gist, says that Charles Carleton Coff1n's
"Story of Liberty" which was recently
kicked out Of the public library at the
suggestion of the Irish Standard is
veracious record of the historical events
narrated by the Boston bigot. Gamble
has examined the book with "cricket's
eye" and finds it perfectly trustworthy
and accurate in every way. Therefore
he insists that it must be restored to
its former place in the library for re-
ference and circulation. When it is
considered that the pill vendor is a
loyal follower Of the "pious, glorious and
immortal" William Of Orange, his poin-
ion as to the impartiality Of the all
thor in his references to the Catholic
church and it's dignitaries will be taken
with a big grain of salt. Some say that
Gamble is the son Of an Orangeman re-
siding in Hennepin county, while others
assert that he halls direct from The
province of Ulster. His associates, Nc
Intyre and Barton, are two Orangemen
born beyond the confines Of the United
States, the former in Canada and the
latter in Ireland. 1t Is quite doubtful
if they are vet citizens and even if
they have completed their naturaliza-
ton they cannot be trusted. They can
not be true to two flags at the same
time. They cannot honestly swear to
be true to the republic while they have
sworn to be true to the British crown.
We shall know more about these fellows
next week.

generous priest of tne Providence

for so cci,tes to be sent for one year to
fifty of his parishioners with the M
derstanding that after reading them
they would pass them to their neighbors
and become subscribers themselves ut

That intellectual pigmy, ex-Comp-
troller Of the Currency Eckels, is now
connected with a banking institution In
Chicago. One would suppose that after
his enforced retirement from public
life he would curb his loquacious in
strument and give the afflicted people
rest. But no. He still goes on talk
ing, and every time he opens his mouth
he puts his foot in it. We notice that
the New World wastes some precious
printers ink on the diminutive crea-
ture. William Dillon should not con-
descend to pay any attention to the
remarks Of the little pettifogger. Let
him rest in obscurity. We have had
enough of him during the past few
years.

The papers are still discussing the
nationality Of Patrick Findlater, the
famous piper of the Highland regiment,
who got shot in the ankles by a dunn
DUN bullet and kept on playing as if
nothing had happened. 1t is now
claimed that Piper Pat is German and
that he Is neither Irish nor Scotch.
The Boston Pilot sensibly remarks
that the easiest way to settle the con-
troversy is to refer the matter to the
piper himself. It appears that Piper
Findlater and Piper Milne were both
hit by dunn dunn bullets and that the
feet of both were amputated The bull
lets were captured from the English
and fired back at them by the Indian
tribesmen. Had they been ordinary bull
lets the pipers would not now be using
one foot instead of two.

the presence of priest. When the con-
demned man is absolved. upon the eve
of the date Of the execution, the iden.t-
fication OF the church with the SUISSE
quent proceedings is not urgently callel
for. Where there is negligence else
where there need not be a surplus CT
attention here"
In moment Of awful solemnity
when a human soul is to be usheced
into the presence of the Almighty to
be judged for it's deeds on earth, the
proper place for Catholic priest TO be
is beside the malefactor. No matter
how heinous the crime for which a man
suffers an ignominious death, there is
forgiveness for him if he truly repen.s,
and if the editor Of the Milwaukee Citi-
priest at the execution Of criminal
docs not seem essential" and that ''tlfe
Identification Of the church with the
subsequent proceedings is not urgently
called for" we will recall an incident
dramatically narrated by the late A.
NJ. Sullivan. NJ. p, to convince him that
the presence Of a priest on the scaffod
may be very essential at times of great
excitement, usually attendant on public
executions.
Two brothers were on the scaffold in
Ireland and ready to be launched inzo
eternity when one of them suddenly
and furiously turned on the hangman
and was going to hmrl him to death
when the attending priest laid his hand
on his shoulder and restrained him
from committing murder Inc two
brothers were innocent Of the crime
for which they suffered. but had not the
priest been present one OF them would
have died an unrepentant sinner. The
priest spoke tenderly to the dying man,
cXhorted him to forgive his enemies as
Christ forgave his prosecutors and make
an act of contrltion for his passionate
act
But does not the editor Of the Catho-
lie Citizen know that clergymen of
every denomination go on the scalfoll
to console the dying criminals of their
faith? Glliteau was accompanied by a
Protestant minister as we'll as Prende"-
CAST by a Catholic priest, and when
Durrant desired to die a Catholic and
have Father Hogan attend him to The
oh t,n
with him and cheer him in his last
moments? What is priest for but to
render spiritual minstration to any
malcfactor who demands his services?
have doubts about the sincerity of Dur.
rants conversion. but the judgment of
God Is not as that of men, If 1t were.
very few il any human beings would
be saved. The priest must perform the
functions of his sacred office to dying
man who calls for him, and whether
the victim of tho scaffold is a great
saint or great sinner no layman, even
with the high intelligence Of the editor
of the Milwaukee Citizen, is Justified in
criticising his actions. We consider it
high tribute to the Catholic church TO
have men like Holmes and Durrant seek
refuge In its bosom. and when they
openly profess the Catholic faith and
reject the Protestant forms of Chris
tianity on their way to the gallows, a
good Catholic priest will be always
found to accompany them on their sad
journey and whisper words Of faith,
hope and charity in their ears to save
the immortal souls for which their Re-
deemer died ON Calvary

There has been a falling Off in the
receipts Of Peters Pence, which consti-
tutes the main source of the Papal reve-
nues. Efforts will be made to increase
the fund. especially in the United
States, where the offerings have fallen
off during the last few years. Formerly
the United States was among the larg-
est contributors to Peters Pence, but
the contraction of the currency by the
repeal of the Sherman law and the con-
tinuance of the ''eXisting gold stand
ard" have left the Catholics who con-
tl1buted to the support of the pope
without much money. When bimctal-
lism is restored and the volume of cur
rency increased, the United States will
contribute more towards Peters Pence
than any nation in the world.
