Fathers Oster, Moynihan, Solney, Schaef-

The services at St. Vincent's in the
evening were we'll nigh as notable as
those of the morning. Pontifical vespers
were sung by the Right Rev. Bishop
Trobec, of st. Cloud. The cope men
were the Reverend Fathers Oster, Dillon
and Scanlen. The sermon was delivered
by Rev. Patrick J. Danehy, of St. Paul
seminary. Again was the building
filled with worshipers, who, in the bril-
liant light. could admire the delicate
tinting of the artistic auditorium.
The prosperous parish Of st. Vincent
de Paul was organized in 1899. Ground
was broken for the new building on the
feast of st. Vincent, June 10, 1897. Arch
bishop Ireland performed the ceremony

FALSE AND MISLEADING,

The Atlantic cable never bore mora
atrocious English lie to this country
about ireland and the Irish than the
statement recently made that ireland
except the northern portion (Orange)
sympathized with Spain" says the Ohio
Pilot
For some time the cable man, who pre-
tends to be fair, has reported the utter
ances Of the st. James Gazette and pa
pers of it's class hostile to the United
States and pronounced sympathizers
with Spain. This has offended certain
clements in England engaged with their
Ango-Manlac brethren of this country in
an attempt to seduce this republic into
an alliance with England To counter
act the effects of the offensive and in
sulting expressions Of the English news
papers, Mr.. Harmsworth, leader Of the
Alliance" in England. who enjoys the
monopoly in that country of the book
and news stands, secured for "a consid-
Grafton" the transmission to this country
short time since, what he lyingly pre-
tends is a canvass made by his agents
Of the British islands as to how the
people stand in this Spanish-American
war. Scotland he reports solid for tn,
United States. England except portion
of the aristocracy in the same boat, and
Ireland except the Orange North for
Spain! The infamous lie Of CID Alfred
Harmsworth is palpable Scotland,
through its representatives in parlia-
ment, has remained silent. while Ire
lands representatives met in formal
body and publicly passed a resolution de-
claring the sympathy of the people of
Ireland with the American ren,,blic
Now mark what follows: So notorious
is the English undercurrent Of sympathy
with Spain that the English Catholic
Times jumped on John Dillon, the mover
of the resolution. and Harmsworth has
the Anglo-Saxon gall to mention this
fact as an evidence, that the Catholics of
the South of Ireland are pro-spanish in
their sympathies!
Was ever such an exhibition of men
dacity paraded before the civilized world
as this? The organ of the English Can
glo-SaXom Catholic abusing the repre-
sentatives Of Catholic Ireland for symA
pathizing with the United States, twisted
into the atrociouslyJying assertion that
therefore the Irish people are pro-Span-
ish. How is this FOR lodgico The truth
of the matter is that the English, with
few exceptions. and their North of Ire
land Orange allies, are pro-Spanish or
rather antiAmerican to the core. and
even when desperately endeavoring to
hoodwinlt into an alliance, cannot re-
strain the bitterness envy and hatred
they entertain for this country.
Ireland-Catholic Ireland-is with the
United States to man. and she is the
only European country that has so far,
through her representatives In paria-
ment. expressed the national sympathy

Even Joaquin Miller's sensational an
nouncement Of fabulously rich island
in the Yukon falls upon comparatively
needless ears in such a time as this.
Time was when the Klondike promised
to play the leading role in American in
terest during 1898, but now it has ap-
parently been almost crowded off the
stage. Glory is greater thing than
gold, and national honor than opulence.
1t is not that the people have lost all
interest in the gold fields any more
than they have forgotten their home in
dustries. If it is really true that miners
have discovered Yukon island that
gives Sc to every painful of dirt, and
that the bed Of the great river promises
to reveal the richest placer deposits
ever known, there will be no lack of in
terest in the news. But for the present
even such FL Dorado rumors must play Il
secondary part in the presence of the
greater problems now overshadowing the
nation.
