ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
The Noted Catholic PreIate's Thanks
Giving Sermon.

ST. PAUL, July 10.-The observance of
the Presidents proclamation of thanksgiv-
ing for victory and prayer for peace, which
began in the Jewish synagogues in this
city yesterday, was generally observed
throughout the Northwest to-day, all de-
nominations, Protestants and Catholics,
alike giving heed to the request of the Ma
tions chief. Archbishop Ireland chose the
war and this proclamation by the President
as a theme for a sermon at the cathedral
to-day In the course of his sermon he said,
in part:
Gods power and will are above armies
and navies and on Him far more tnan on
armies and navieS nations depend. Let us
praise and thank God. He blesSes us in
the war our armies wage to-day victory
follows victory; the starry banner waves
triumphant in Cuba and the far-diStant
Philippines. Small have been the sacrifices
demanded as the price of victories: Won
A new America has risen up. A new era has
dawned in our history. America, as never
before, is conscious of her power; the ma
fore, understand her power The child
of a century is a giantess whose
arms reach beyond her own vast continent
across distant oceans. God indeed has
blessed her. The ideals of America are in
Gods designs, the ideal of all humanity.
And America triumphs that popular lper-
w may triumph and a new order OF things
spring up for all humanity. Present glory
and power come to America through war.
We may wish that peace and not war had
brought such blessings Yet as we survey
history it does seem as if war were one of
those mysterious agencies through which
Providence works in shaping the destinies
of nations. But war is always terri
ble If it be Gods will may war
cease. The chieftain of America .prays for
peace and bids the people pray for peace.
Magnanimous Mckinley, worthy chieftain
of a great people. He courted peace before
war; he did all he could to avert war, to Sc
cure by peace ali the beneficent results which
war could bring. War coming, as the loyal
servant of the Republic, he waged it with
yigor, with skill When it's purposes are
served, his heart speaks out its first love
of peace This is noble, generous, mag
unanimous. May God then, we pray, so dis
nose minds and hearts in Spain and in
America that no more of our brother men,
Spaniards or Americans, be slain that no
more hearts of mothers and wives be wrung
in anguish. Father of men, grant us peace"

Whatever kind of governments or powers
should be developed, il seemed to Mr.. Shaw
certain that the United States. by virtue of
the extent and variety of American inter-
ests, would have to take a prominent part:
Moreover. he believed it the providenttal
duty of the United States in view of our
relations to Hawaii, Japan, China and at
present to the Philippines. to hold ourselves
peculiarly responsible for the happiness and
welfare of the native races. Ultimately he
looked forward to the time when the concert
of Europe, our own jurisdiction in the west
ern hemisphere under the name of the Mon
roe doctrine and the new organization Tor
the settlement of Pacific ocean affairs would
all be merged in some higher tribunal, which
in turn would be the ultimate forerunner
of the federation of man.

Canada and Prohibition.

Prohibition has long been agitated in
Canada, and oftener discussed in the
Provincial Legislatures and in the Do
minion Parliament. It's advocates are
not confined to either one of the polit-
ical parties; although In recent years
they have been most active and most
successful in making their influence
felt in the Liberal party. In 1889, when
the Conservatives were In office at OF
tawa, there was carried in the House
of Commons a resolution declaring that
it would be expedient to adopt prohi-
bition when the public sentiment of the
country was ripe for the reception and
enforcement of such measure. This
non-committal resolution was of little
practical value. It's chief significance
now is that it shows that in the past
the Conservatives, like the Liberals in
more recent times, were afraid of the
Prohibitionists. and indisposed to take
any firm stand against them.-Edward
Porritt, in North American Review.

with twining smilax, the tables being
garnished with carnations and chrys-
anthemums. The company seated
themselves at the banquet table, and
there regaled the ''inner man." while
strains of delightful music issued from
an adjoining alcove. AT the conclusion
of the feast Hon. w. d. Knights, who
acted as master of ceremonies, intro
duced several of Mr.. Atkinson's friends,
who spoke each in turn, felicitating him
upon his reaching another milestone in
life's journey. finally calling upon Hon.
Joseph Steffens, who in a neat speech
on behalf of the MaSons present, pre-
sented Mr.. Atkinson with an elegant
Masonic jewel, the Grand Cross of
Honor, the emblem of the thirty third
and last degree of Masonry. Mr.. At
kinson responded feelingly, assuring
his friends of his absolute surprise.
promising them that he would preserve
and cherish the gift, that he would al
ways remember with feelings of great
est pleasure the scene then before him.
The company dispersed at an early
hour this morning. Messages of con-
graduation from absent friends were
read, and among them the following
