WELCOME FOR IRISH LEADER.
Redmond Speaks to Magnificent
Catherine In New York.

New York, Nov. 3.-Irish- Americans
to the number of 5000 or 1000 from
this city and vicinity gathered tonight
at a reception given at Carnegie hall
in honor of John L. Redmond, NJ P,
leader of the Irish natioi alist party
in the British parliament. The recep-
ton was given under the auspices of
the AmaIgamated Irish Societies in
New York, the Irish National club and
the Irish league. The boxes of the
upper and lower tier were occupied by
the delegabBs % the various Irish So
cieties in this city.
Mr.. Redmond was accompanied by
Patrick McHugh and Thomas O'Don
nell, his fellow delegates from the Ma
tional league.
William McAdoo, former assistant
secretary of the navy, was chairman
of the evening. and introduced Mr..
Redmond, who said in part:
w hen 1 last spoke here Ireland
was torn by dissensions. She was di-
vide d, distracted and weak. The great
leader who had banded the Irish race
together all over the world and had
brought the cause of Ireland to the
very threshold of victory, had disap-
peared the great movement which his
genius had created had been wrecked;
the hopes of the Irish race had been
dashed to the ground and the enemies
of Ireland We're exultant and triumph
ant.
Tonight, thank Cod the situation
is changed. 1t is true, unfortunately,
that the grave cannot give up it's
dead it is true that there is no great

the councils of the Irish nation, but
the Irish people themselves have come
together again.
My object in coming here is, in the
first place, to proclaim the unity of
the Irish people at home; secondly, to
explain the policy which these people
at home have unanimously adopted,
and finally to say to the Irish race in
America that if they approve of that
Toacy they ought to support it; but
that, whether they support it or not
whether the Irish people at home are
left in this crisis of their country's
history to carry on this struggle
against England without the aid of
their brethren throughout the world.
or not, we at home are disciplined
enough and strong enough and earnest
enough to carry on this movement our
selves, and at any cost we shall do
So
Mr.. Redmond said that the policy of
the United Irish league movement was,
to advance the National cause of Irish
men by making the government of
Ireland by England in every depart
ment both in parliament and out of
parliament, difficult and dangerous.
and finally impossible. He said it was
proposed to accomplish this by means
of the United Irish league organiza-
ton, the lineal successor of the Land
league.
Mr. McHugh and Mr.. O'DonneH fol-
lowed Mr.. Redmond in speaking, and
resolutions were adopted indorsing the
policy of the league and pledging the
support of the meeting to its policy.

WAKING Up to the Truth.

From Protestant sources we are hav-
ing indubitable demonstration that
Goddess education is not only failure,
but a costly experiment and the semi
nary of evil instead of, the loudly pro-
claimed benefit to mankind, writes
Randall in his letter from Augusta,
Ga. to the Catholic Columbian. Rev.
Sam Jones, who, whatever we may
think of him theologically, is a very
smart man and never assails our
Church, in a recent lecture said:
Ten years ago l told the people that
the public school fund would soon run
to 81, 900 a year. People laughed
at me- Mark my prediction now. In
another ten years the public school
fund will run to S4,000,000 a year.
Every public school teacher is drawing
public pap. There is no end to this
thing. Education is free, but what we
want is men. We haven't as many
great men now as when children
learned in log schools and studied by
light wood knots. Georgia never need
ed men so badly like Stephens and
Hill. Carolina never needed men like
Calhoun so much, or Texas men like
Sam Houston, Kentucky like Henry
Clay, Illinois men like Stephen A.
Douglas and Abraham Lincoln. We do
not build up society by making every
thing free. l almost think it is not
advantages that make man, but dis
advantages; not help, but hindrance."

Irish industrial Conditions.

Bishop Clancy of Elphin, Ireland in
a sermon at Syracuse, N. Y, recently
said in part:
Another question of public interest
is the industrial condition of Ireland.
Few countries have been more wretch
edly circumstanced in the past than
Ireland has been, owing to the defec-
tive system of land tenure. Until re-
Gently the people were the victims of
within the past twenty-four years a
very important change has been
brought about. About the years 1S47
and 1S4S the Irish tenant farmer was
so absolutely the victim of his land
lord, he coJA be turned out at a mo-
ment's notice. Consequently, after the
famine in 1S47, large ships were filed
with the victims of hunger and disease
and they set out for the new world.
They contracted diseases and ailments
of various kinds, and many died when
they landed on the shores of Amer
lea. Many of these ships embarking
under such sad circumstances, went
down with their living cargoes in mid
ocean. 1t will be impossible for us to
know the full results of the hunger
and famine of 1847 until the mounds
above Boston and New York give up
their dead. About twenty years ago
things were changed for the better,
and now it is impossible for the land
lord to eyict a tenant for the non-pay
ment of rent. At the same time there
are still many defects in our Irish sys-
tenn of land tenure. There is court
by which rents are settled once every
fifteen years, before which agrarian
questions are tried. These courts fire.
quently tax improvements, which often
involves great injustice. Besides. large
districts of land are denuded of their
population. They are given up to the
feeding f1ocks and herds for the En-
glish and Scotch markets One might
pass through the large districts in
Meath, Roscommon and Galway in
which there are few houses, save those
of the large grazers and those who
take care of the grazing ranches. This
is an unnatural state for a country
like Ireland, which has to depend prin-
cipally on agricultural industries for
a living. One of the consequences is
tkG enormous emigration which has
drained the country of it's life blood.
In 1891 there were over 100000 more
people in the country than at the pres
ent time. In the small province of
Connaught, on the west coast the
population is lower by 10000 than it
was ten years ago. In two counties,
which coincide with the diocese L rep
resent, the population has decreased
enormously. Roscommon has $1,000
and Sligo 11,000 fewer people than
they had ten years ago. The number
of hearths extinguished and the num-
her of buildings unroofed, can be
counted by thousands in the small
province of Connaught. All this is the
natural outcome of our defective sys-
tenn of land tenure. We trust that in
the near future something may be done
to remedy the defects of this system,
by establishing a peasant proprietary
on large scale and by bringing back
the people from the congested districts
or from abroad and by placing them
again on the land once occupied by
their forefathers

CATHOLICS TRUE TO CHURCH.
Interesting Statistics Shown by In
vestigation in New York City.

We read that the Federation Oh
Churches and Organizations has col
lected reports on the sociological and
religions conditions of 100000 of the
population of the west side and is now
continuing the work in the upper part
of the east side. The federation claims
to have turned over to church care 70
600 families. In point of church attend
ance the Protestant seems to be
mean, the federation reports state. be-
tween the Catholic and the Hebrew.
A very small percentage of the Catho-
lies are found unattached to any
church, while the proportion of He
brews without synagogue connection is
declared very large. The unsettled
church life and the wandering habit of
the American churchgoer is in strong
contrast, the reports declare, to the
foreign Catholic constituency, which
clings to the neighborhood church.
The Reformed Dutch church stands
first in the list of comparative church
attendance. The members of this
church in one district report percent
age of 95 as having church homes.
Then in order it was the Catholics,

Great Men Saying Their Beads.

1t is sometimes said, my dear friends
that the beads is a devotion only nI
for women. You are about to see how
tue that is: The illustrious Bossuet
one of the greatest geniuses of the time
of Louis XIV. not only recited the
Rosary assiduously. but also had him
self enrolled in the Confraternity of
the Holy Rosary at the Dominican con-
vent. in the Rue St Jacques, in Paris
on the 10th of August, 1880. In his
train we may range all the institutors
or reformers of modern congregations:
st. Francis de Sale. St Vincent de
Paul, the Venerable Jean Baptiste de
la Sale. the learned Cardinal de Be-
rule, the pious Olier, founder and first
superior of the Seminary of st. Sui
pice. with a crowd of others. Better
than that, dear children, the kings and
the great ones of the world have imi-
tated these celebrated men. can
quote for you Edward III. king of Eng
land, the Emperor Charles the Fifth.

MARTINELLrs SUCCESSOR.
London and Washington Correspon-
dents Appoint an American.

Our readers have learned to place
little reliance on sources of information
which do not come direct from the Vat
ican concerning statements of the
character which follows. The histor-
ical part relating to Rev. Diomed Fai-
conf. however, is valuable as church
news:
London. Oct 31.-"The papal consis-
tory. that was TO have been held in
November. has been postponed till next
spring" says the Rome correspondent
OF the Daily Chronicle. Consequently,
Cardinal Martinelli will continue to re-
side in Washington for a time. 1t is
officially announced that Rev. Diomed
Falconi. apostolic delegate to the Do
minion of Canada, will succeed Cardi-
nal Martinelli."
Washington, D. c., Oct 2O.-Unof-
fetal advices just received from Rome
confirm the understanding that no
papal consistory at Rome will be held
before next February. In view of this
fact Cardinal Martinelli, the papal del
agate. will leave this country just be-
fore the consistory. which, in connec-
ion with its other work, Will confer
the red hat on him. While there may
be some additions to the roll of car
dinals. it is certain that none of these
will be from the United States.
The full roll of cardinals is fixed at
seventy. and the desire is to have as
many of them as possible near Rome.
The real reason for avoiding the nam
ing of another cardinal for this coun-
try during Cardinal Gibbons lifetime
is to avoid setting a precedent for two
cardinals within the United States.
There are more than one. however, in
countries where there is a concordat
between the government and the
church.
Archbishop Diomede Falconio is at
present the representative of the papal
power in Canada. He is widely known
in this country and is in fact an Amer
lean priest who did mission work in
the United States from 1866 to 1889. The
prospective apostolic delegate was ed
ucated at st. Bonaventure college in
Allegheny county. n. Y. an institu-
ton founded by the Franciscans in
1853 Father Falconio was one of the
first students ordained there in 1866
by the late Bishop Timon, and after
ward became president of the college.
Thence he went to Newfoundland as a
missionary, and after serving for some
time as vicar general of the diocese, he
was called to Rome, where he rose to
the highest offices of his order. His
brilliancy as a scholar and especially
his profound knowledge of church pol
itv. led in later years to his appoint
ment as papal delegate to the Domin-
ion of Cana Ia.

A PRELATE ON PRIESTHOOD.
Bishop of Peoria Pleads For an In

Bishop of Peoria Pleads For an In
tellectual and Sanity Priesthood.
The following editorial, dealing with
sermon recently preached in Cincin-
natl by Bishop Spaldfng, is taken from
the Catholic Universe:
A notable feature in the celebration
of the golden jubilee of Mt. st. Mary
of the West, at Cincinnati last Wednes-
day, was the splendid sermon of the
scholarly bishop of Peoria. 1t was a
powerful appeal for an intellectual and
sanity priesthood. The large number
of priests and seminarians whose pleas
ure and privilege it was to hear him
feel indebted to Bishop Spalding for
his inspiring words. 1t was one of those
occasions in which we could have
wished that the priesthood of America
was gathered together in one vast am
phitheater, so that all could partlclpate
in the enthusiasm which his words
evoked All would have left with
fuller conception of the priestly char
acter-a keener realization of it's vast
possibilities and awful responsibilities.
There is too much praise of existing
conditions. too much satisfaction IN
material progress and numerical great
ness. We need more addresses like
Bishop Spalding's; something to pro-
yoke a little more introspectlon IN re-
gard to our own personal qualifications
and more critical examination of the
kind of work we are doing. Less talk
about the material church and more
about the living temples of the Holy
Ghost Less talk about how many we
are and more about what kind we are
An intelligent and discriminating
priesthood can, under God, do mora
than any other power to lift the Church
to the place of prominence and effec-
tiveness that belongs to her. Every
priest should be the best he can be, as
learned as he can be, as kind and gen
tlemanly as he can be. and this kind of
priest should, in the words of Bishop
Spalding. be found. not here and there,
but in every parish. standing at every

PROFANITY.
A Vice Too Often Indulged in by
Respectable People.

A repulsive feature of contemporary
life is our reckless profanity. The vice
is not confined to the tough" ele-
n1ent. but is INDUCED in by respect
able" people. The name of God is out
ragged by oaths and imprecations quite
as a matter of course and without the
excuse of anger or excitement. The
sacred name of Jesus Christ is a by
word. and the air is vocal with eXple
tives which are not according to the
second commandment. Profanity is a
sin, and profanity is ungentlemanly.
One can understand why boys. who
imagine that it is manly, indulge in it.
one can understand how man. under
the influence of deep feeling, might
now and then find ordinary language
inadequate to the situation, though
this rather palliates than excuses. But
that a man in the regular intercourse
Of life should season discourse with
oaths and curses is strange and foul
thing. The growth of Holy Name So
cieties throughout the country is an
encouraging sign. II is a matter which
ought to appeal to every sincerely
Catholic man, this crusade against
blasphemy. Thou shalt not take the
name of the Lord thy God in vain. for
the Lord viii not hold him guiltless
that shall take the name of the Lord
his God in vain

"PAPAL EXILE A POSSIBILITY" !"
If Compelled to Leave Rome, the

If Compelled to Leave Rome, the
Pope is Certain to Come Back.
We were panied to read in the Ro-
man correspondence of the Catholic
Standard of Philadelphia that people
in Rome were speaking of the exile of
the Pope as "a possibility" 1t may
be possible, but it is by no means like
ly. The present position of the Pope
is certainly abnormal. Things alb
normal do not last. The position of the
Popes during the first 300 years Of the
Christian era was abnormal; so was
the so-called Babylonian captivity of
the Popes in Avignon, and consequent
ly neither of them lasted Or. to take
another view of the situation, the posi-
ton of the Pope will either grow bet
ter or else worse; If better. the Pope
and all the faithful will be thankful:
if much worse. the Pope will leave. or
win be compelled to leave. Rome If
the Pope were compelled to leave Rome
he is as certain to come back-for he
is the Roman Pontiff, and who is so
daring as to say that he will return
a moral prisoner as at present.
Some faint-hearted Catholics labor
under the common mistake that re-
storation of the Temporal Power
means necessarily sameness of the old
territory and regime. 1t means Meth
pr the one nor the other. Times and
things have changed much since its
oss in 1871, and the finger of time can
not be turned back. A territory about
as large as Belgium and nearly as pop
ulous, is neither necessary nor desir-
able. The Temporal Power, in it's
highest and broadest sense. means an
external and tangible guarantee of the

Sublime Womanhood.

There was one sublime womanhood,
that of Mary. Her modesty and majes-
ty ought to appeal to women; for she
was the true woman-gentle, retiring,
modest; but not weak nor ungifted nor
unintelligent. Her example has made
womanhood what it is-that true wo-
manhood which devOtes itself to the
silence and sweetness of the home.

the most blessed among women, whom
all generation call good, is the model
to keep before you, the woman of love.
