members of the G. 4. r. and the Irish
Standard took occasion to correct him.
1t is needless to do so again. There
is no similarity between Lee and
Agunaldo nor between Lincoln and
Mckinley and all the rhetoric of DIR.
Shutter will fail to show that there is.
The name of Abraham Lincoln de-
serves to be rcvcred. He was re-
markable man who rose from obscur-
ity to cminencc by the force of his
own character He is colossal figure
in American history, as the plcservcr
of the Union and the liberator of the
Negroes. When the future historian
writes of Mckinley he will make him
Il dwarf as compared with Lincoln and
show him to be the reverse of an
emancipation of the cnslaved and the
oppressed.

the sacrifice of the mass, as they are
now used in the Church of Rome, are
superstitious and idolatrous, and do
solemnly in the presence of God, pro-
TESS, testify, and declare that l do
make this declaration, and each and
every part thereof, in the plain and
ordinary sense of the words read unto
me, as they are commonly understood
by English Protestants, without any
evasion, eQuivocatiOn, or mental reser-
walton whatsoever, and without any
dispensation already granted me fol-.
this purpose by the Pope or any other
authority or person whatsoever, or
without any hope Of any such dispen-
sation from any person or authority
whatsoever, or without thinking that L
am or can be acquitted before God or
man. or absolved of this declaration or
any part thereof, although the Pope,
or any person or persons, or power
Whatsoever, should dispense with or
annul the same, or declare that it was
null and void from the beginning"
Now that Victoria has passed to her
reward, it is fit and proper for the
Roman Catholic hierarchy and laymen
of the United Kingdom and it's colonies
to demand the abolition of the libellous
oath and request that Edward should
not be asked to take it. The present
king has not been remarkable for
sanctity while he remained a prince,
and he is not likely to develop into a
holy man on the throne. He knows
that Cardinal Vaughan and the Duke
of Norfolk are as loyal to him as the
Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord
Salisbury. Why then should he be
asked to take Il solemn oath declaring
that the religious belief of the two
former subjects is superstitious and
idolatrous? Even if it is, what is the
object of insulting them? We believe
that the Catholics of England, Ireland
and Scotland should petition parlia-
mcnt for the abolition of the corona
ton oath and that they are cowardly
lot if they neglect to do so at this
time.

The new editor of the Northwestern
Catholic may think that Father Pat
rick OBrien, Of Toledo, O., is no better
than a Fiji Islander for saying of
Queen Victoria: at is we'll known
that she was opposed to Irish home
rule, and that Gladstone was persona
non grata at her court. She did not
visit Ireland for 40 years until the
Transvaal war threatened the utter de-
struction of her empire; and then only
to induce young Irishmen to enlist in
her army did she pay Il visit to that
portion Of her dominions But it was
too late and her visit had no effect in
recruiting soldiers among the Irish.'

because the Pan-American Exposition
grounds at Buffalo, N. Y, are to be
lighted by incandescent lamps. Hun
dreds of thousands of them will be
used, and the grounds will glow with
greater illumination than has ever been
used at any previous exposition And
then, i'll the evening, when day is about
to give way to the coming of night,
these little lights are not to burst upon
the sight with their full, rich glow all
at once. But gradually, almost with
out the assembled multitude knowing
it, the lamps will feel the impulse of
the turning on Of the mighty current
from Niagara. With the stateliness
and dignity Of June sunrise this
change from daylight to artificial light
will take place. The careful observer
will notice tinge of red in the lamp.
and this will grow brighter and bright
err as the resistance to the flow of the
current is reduced in the great rheo
stat used for dimming effects. Whittier
and whittier will be the glow and bright
err the effect until the lamp is under
full incandescence. Then the myriads
of lamps will shine in all their glory
to the delight of ALL The lighting up
in the evening will arouse the enthusi-
assn and cheers of everybody who sees
it. 1t will be an electric sunrise. Can
one imagine the beauty of it?
