Judging from the war resolutions
passed In their recent conference in New
York the Methodist preachers seen, to
think that the expulsion of Spanish rule
from Cuba means also the expulsion of
the Catholic church, says the New York
Freeman's Journal. This accounts for
their righteousness. But they are mis-:
taken. On this point they are as silly
as some of our pro-Spanish Catholic ex-
changes. Both do not know, or forget
that the Cuban patriots are Catholics,
as were also the three or four hundred
thousand starved or murdered non. COM
batants, old men, women and children.
The war in Cuba is not religious war.
and the Intervention Of the United
States does not raise the question of re-
ligion, though the Methodist preachers
may desire to give it that Interpretation.
Our soldiers, when they go to Cuba, will
fight side by. side with the Catholic in
surgents for Cuban independence.

HIBERNlANS MILNE.

The cheering news comes from all sec
tions of the state to the effect that the
various Divisions of the Ancient Order Of
Hibernians are offering their services to
the government in defense of the Union
| in the conflict in which we are now en-
gagged with Spain, and it is confidently
| expected that there will be no difficulty
in securing in Minnesota full regiment
of one thousand men from the ranks Of
the Fighting Race" Minneapolis is we'll
to the fore in the movement. At meet
ing of the Hibernian Rifles held last Sat
urday evening at st. Anthony hall, a
motion was passed unanimously, tender
ing the services of the company to the
state, and Il committee, consisting Of
President 0'Connor Capt Walsh, Lieu
appointed to wait on Governor Clougil
and apprise him Of the fact, and at
largely attended meeting of the County
Board held the following day the move
ment was made general one throughout
the city. Already the membership of the
Rifle company has been increased to more
than one hundred, and the list, which Is
open for signatures at the Irish Standard
office, is still growing. The Hibernians
Of Waseca have written their brethren at
Minneapolis, Offering one hundred men
from their county, and similar reports
from other sections have been received.
In addition we have the pleasing infor-
nation from the state officers of the An
cient Order of Hibernians Life Insurance
Fund to the effect that the policy Of every
insured member will remain as good as
gold throughout the term Of his enlist
ment, and will not under any circum-
stances become invalidated by reason Of
his participation in the struggle. What
more than the above could be asked from
the ranks of any organization? 1t is SIM
ply another illustration of the fact that
lrishmcn the world over will ever be
found ready to lay down their lives at the
call of duty, in opposition to every form
OF oppression.

The distribution of prize money that
comes from the sale of prizes is not gen
orally understood. The money is divided
as follows:
The commanding officer of a fleet or
squadron receives one-twentieth part Of
all prize money awarded to any vessel OF
vessels under his immediate control. The
commanding officer of squadron or d.
vision under the command Of a comman-
der-n-chief receives one-fiftieth Of the
amount awarded to the captors, his share
to come out OF the part of the prize
money awarded to the government when
the government receives share.
The fleet captain is entitled to one
one-hundreith part of the award made to
any vessel or vessels Of the fleet or squad
ron with which he is serving, except in a
case where the capture is made by the
vessel in which he is serving and in that
case he shares in proportion to his pay
with the other officers and men on board
the vessel.
ITO the commander of single vessel
is given one-tenth of the money award
ed to his vessel, if it was acting at the
time Of the capture under the command
Of the commanding officer of fleet,
squadron or division. and three-twenti-
eths if it was acting Independently
After these deductions the remainder
Of the prize money awarded to a vessel
is distributed among the officers and
crew Of the vessel in proportion to their
respective pay.

ing distance Of the vessel or vessels MAX

and in such condition as to render efliic-
lent aid if required, share in the prize"

THE SPIRIT OF UNITY.

Arrangements for the celebration of
the Centennial of "Ninety- eight" in the
Old Land, are being pushed on vigorous
ly, and that all the evidences tend to the
realization of the patriotic desire that the
demonstration shall not only he worthy
of the patriotic memories it is designed to
honor, but shall also be proof of the
ment. the world over, at the present time.
On April II a magnificent national
meeting was held In Mallow, the birth
place of the home rule government. at
unity was manifested throughout the pro-
cecdings in Il manner calculated to bring
good cheer to every true Irish heart.
Most of the leading nationalists were
present. and absolute unity Of national
aims was the text and argument of every
speech delivered. The meeting itself was
a magnificent exenpar of unity. Men Of
all shades of opinion met on the platform
with that all-embracing bond of love Of
ireland and earnest devotion to her cause
to bind them to each other. Priests and
people took part in the demonstration, as
priests and people participated in the
great rising" of '9S, which they had as
sembled to commemorate. Rev. Father
O'Callaghan, c. c., presided, and delivered
a most eloquent address: and the mayor
Of Cork-to whom in a large degree be-
longs the credit for the good work OF con-
soldating the celebration of the great
Centennial of '9S-was one of the first
and most inspiring Of the speakers. Mr..
William O'Brien pleaded the cause Of
unity for this great movement with ire
slstible fervor; and the meeting made It's
views on this all-important subject I'M
mistakably plain. 1t was a revival of the
brave old boys when Irishmen were
united-solid as an army in battle array
Dissension--in every form and at all
times the bane of Ireland-was declared
to be specially pernicious when it made
itself felt in an effort to celebrate the
deeds of the men whose chief boast il;
was that they were United Irishmen. Ii

official action looking to the disband-
ment OF the Centennial Association has
yet been taken, but the officers, including
Recorder Golf, Judge O'Gorman and OH
ers. have agreed among themselves that
the pilgrimage will have to be abandoned.
AS soon as the association meets 1t will
take action, and the money already paid
by intending pilgrims will probably be re-
funded. 1t is probable. however, that the
pilgrimage may be made in July, 1899.
