Converts in ireland.

1t seems as If the day was not far
distant when Ireland will he complete
ly Catholic from end to end. In Ulster
the church is at present making great
lleadway.
A book entitled "Some Notable Con-
versions in the County of Wexford"
has just appeared. The author, Fa-
ther Kirk, tells in a simple, unaffected
way the story Of his conversion to the
Catholic faith. 1t is, we believe, gen.
orally thought that the number of
Protestants who are received into the
church in Ireland is very small. But
this supposition is scarcely correct.
Ireland supplies quite considerable
number Of converts, and It would no
doubt be still larger If the efforts made
to win nonC Catholics were more syste-
matte.
Father Kirk, who was q Protestant
curate at Corey in the county Wex-
ford, seems from the earliest days OF
his ministry to have been drawn to.
wards the Catholic church. Others in
the same county were similarly in.
clined about the same time, and in his
pages he gives us glimpses of the
progress they made towards religious
truth.
Closely associated with his own con-
version in very special way was that
of Mr.. and Mrs. Ram and their family.
Mr.. Ram was the heir Of Ramsfort, in
county Wexford, descendant of the
first Protestant bishop of Ferns. A le-
gcnd dating from early times ran to
the effect that the first owner of the
property who returned to the Catholic
faith would lose all his Irish posses
sions, and the legend has been fulfilled
to the letter, the temporal loss being
more than compensated for by the
spiritual gain. When Father Kirk first
visited the district as a Catholic priest.
and he and Mr.. Ram drove to the local
Catholic church. the people in showing
their joy would do with nothing less
than the strains Of brass band. Their
Intention was, no doubt, good, but they
gave the newly ordained priest who
had no desire to play the hero a very
Lad quarter Of an hour.

How Carlyle Received Him.
One of the most curious rcceptio,

Ohe OF the most curious receptions
Of visitors was that which Carlyle
gave George Gilfillan. Gilfllan was
quite Il literary character generation
'"r Ills books were widely read, and
his Literary Portraits" were especial
ly popular with the young ladies. I
know of many girls who slept with
these volumes under their pillows,
Gillillan was lecturer as well as a
writer. He appreciated his popularity
and had very good opinion of George
Gillillan. He called one day at Mr..
Carlyle's, and his knock was respond
cd to by Carlyle himself. AS CARLYLE
opened the door and stood before him
Gilfllan introduced himself with a
grandiloquent bow and said:
II am George Gilfllan, and YOU are
Mr.. Carlyle, l suppose. l have been
lccturing about you all over England"
Carlyle looked ut him half a mo-
ment and then, throwing back his
shaggy name, blurtcd out, "What the
dickens did you lecture about me for?"
and slammed the door in his face.

over the faces Of honorable gentlemen

and opposition cheers)
81 think the honorable members will
admit that it is little hard for us
coming here from poor country like
I Ireland, where our people are con-
stantly holding out their hands and
begging for assistance to revive their
Industries and promote their material
prosperity, to take part here in voting
f153,000,000 for this purpose. 1 cannot
help thinking that many honorable
members in various parts Of the House
must have had qualms Of conscience
when they heard of this expenditure
one hundred and fifty-three millions.
What would that have done for old
age pensions? What would It have
done for the schemes for housing the
poor? What would it have done for
schemes of education? Orish and op-

"But this money, this increased and
enormous expenditure, is to be devot-
ed to the destruction of another coun-

"In addition to the enormous expen-
diture, we have it OH the authority of
Sir Alfred Milncr that there is no hope
of an early pacification. Qrish cheers.)
ut is well, repeat, that these
things should be known to the coun-
try, and sincerely hope they will
have due effect on the minds of the
men who went into this war with such
light hearts, believing, I suppose, the
declaration of the colonial secretary,
Tho, at the time of the raid, said he
could not 60 to war; and asked the
people of England to consider what q
serious thing it would be If he had to
send 10000 men out to the Cape in

sympathize with the chancellor Of
the excfequer in the position, and I
say that in my view it Is not he but
the colonial secretary who, notwith-
standing the cheap popularity of the
moment, will go down to history as
the man responsible not merely for
the expenditure of f2OO,OOO,OOO Of
' treasure, but for the blood Of 10000
of his countrymen. cloud Irish and
opposition chcers.) therefore, in the
name Of the Irish members, seize this
the earliest opportunity Of entering
our protest against this budget on the
thrce-fold ground: First, that We OBJ
iect to the object for which this taxa
tion is raised; second, that we object
to the character of the taxation itself;
and third, because Ireland is called
upon to pay an unjust share of the
burden of taxation already. pro

cheers.) 1t is unfair to the individual
and unfair to the country There are
many ways i'll which 1 believe this tax
upon sugar will be unfair to Ireland.
We have very few Industries there.
One small industry has arisen lately,
in which I am interested by reason of
the fact that I had an opportunity of
inspecting one Of tire places in which
it is carried on-the industry of the
manufacture Of condensed milk. I
went over one of these factories in
Munster in which there We're three or
four hundred girls engaged. Now, the
chief ingredient Of condensed milk is
sugar. and it is a little hard that a
new industry Of this kind should be
specially hit by the new taxation
which has been imposed. (Cheers.)
'"Take the case of the income tax.
Was there in the whole history of poll
tics a tale of greater injustice than
the history Of the income tax in Ire
land? Clear, hear) What are the
facts? Up to 1853 there was no in
come tax in Ireland, and in that year,
when Ireland was impoverished and
exhausted after famine, the taxation
of Ireland was actually doubled at
one fell stroke and the income tax was
imposed. But Mr.. Gladstone, when
imposing it, said he was only impos-
ing it for seven years; and he said that
as compensation he would free ireland
from the consolidated annuities. Now,
the consolidated annuities amounted
at that time to an annual payment by
Ireland of E25O,OOO; but, sir, in the first
year that the income tax was imposed
the sum of over half million was re-
ceived, and in exchange for getting
rid Of 9250,0OO of consolidated annul-
ties, Ireland had paid an income tax
considerably over thirty millions Of
money. I say the whole history Of
this matter is breach of faith and Of
understanding. Don't let me be mis-,
understood on this question Of income
tax. If had my way would be for
putting the whole war tax on the in
come tax. Qrish and opposition
cheers.)
II think it would be far honester
way Of meeting the tax, because, un-
doubtedly, the responsibility for this
war rests, not with the poor people
and the working classes, who have
been deluded into supporting this war
the responsibility rests with the mon
led class Of this country; and would
be very glad to see the entire cost Of
the war thrown upon the income tax.
(Cheers.) Hut still, notwithstanding
the fact that the income tax is paid
by the wcalthier classes, I protest as
an Irishman against any increase Of
the income tax whatever in Ireland in
view of the fact that we pay for more
than our share according to our taxa
BILE capacity. (Hear, hear.) 1 confess
I think English members may have
felt appalled, when they heard the fig
ures of the cost Of this war read out
(cheers), and I don't believe that the
public outside had any idea until to-
night that this war up to the present
cost 153 millions Of money. Why, sir,
it is appalling; and, as the chancellor
of the exchequer read out these figures
amidst ominous silence from the min
