John +. Finerty has no love for the
Irish constabulary. He thinks the
Irish peasantry should use their black
thorns on the mercenary Hessians in
the service of England. In the Citizen
he says: We remember a day in Ire
land when the peelers were not so
"fresh" as they are now, and many a
one of them have we seen laid out in
the mud by the blackthorni of a fight
ing Connaught lad, or the "rowly- bow
ley thana ma dhouly" of a bold Tippe-
ray boy. A good welting would teach
the constabulary manners, and, be-
sides, it would accustom the people to
collisions with the armed forces of the
enemy-something that, as in Hungary
and Belgium, would very much dinin-
ish their awe of them. A man in uni
form is not better than a man out Of
uniform, all things else being equal, as
has been proven by the Beers. If the
Irish constables use their bludgeons on
the people we would counsel the latter
to bludgeon them back, unless firearms
should be brought against them. III
such cases the constables would be
murderous outlaws, and the people
would be morally justified in retaliat-
ing upon them in kind, as the Kilkenny
boys did at Carrickshock of glorious
memory.

any of the insular commissions, but we
would not be justified in saying that
he has been actuated by bigotry.
We have no desire to draw odious
comparisons between Great Britain
and the United States. The Anglo
Saxons of both nations are slow to d.
vest themselves of intolerance toward
Catholics. Perhaps the Catholics them
selves are partly to blame for being
kept in the background. They ought
to be more united than they have been
in the past.
There is need Of the federation ad-
vocated by Bishop McFaul for Ameri-
can and Canadian Catholics alike. In
union there is strength. Catholics in
the United States are entitled to the
enjoyment Of the full rights of citizen
ship, as guaranteed by the constitution,
and they will possess them before
long. They are Disseminated against
at present, but bright future is dawn
ing for them. In the words Of Charles
Mackay we will end by saying:
Aid the dawning, tongue and pen;
Aid it, hopes Of honest men;
Aid it, paper, aid it, type,
Aid it, for the hour is ripe;
And our earnest must not slacken
Into play.

A religious fanatic or impostor named
John Alexander Dowie spoke last Sun
day to Chicago audience as follows:
Il am Elijah, the prophet, who ap-
peared first as Elijah himself, second
as John the Baptist, and now comes
IN me, the restorer Of all things. Elijah
was prophet, John was a preacher,
but combine in myself the attrib-
utes Of prophet, priest and ruler over
men. Gaze on me, then; say it fear
lessly. Make the most of it, YOU
wretches in ecclesiastical garb. 1 am
he that is the living physical and spir-
itual embodiment Of Elijah, and my
coming to earth third time has been
prophesied by Malachi, by God himself
and by his Son Jesus, by Peter, and
three thousand years ago by Moses.
All who believe me to be in very truth
all of this will stand up" Instantly
1000 persons jumped to their feet and
cheered the false teacher of Zion. A
Windy City audience is ready to ap-
plaud~any humbug who attacks Chris
tianity as Dowie does.

Owners OF the shamrocks.

The following brief sketch of Sir
Thomas Upton, the Irish sportsman, is
of interest at this time:
Young Upton went to London with
borrowed capital of about $500. He
rented small shop, spent one-half of
this sum in purchasing stock of tea
getting it cheap for cash, and the other
half he put in separate box to be
used entirely and exclusively for ad-
vertising. That was the time when
the $1O,OOO-per-day advertising houses
were an unknown proposition, so that
1t is not surprising that Lipton's
friends shook their head at his scheme.
But the scheme worked to perfection.
Marking his goods at the very lowest
figures were lower than other
tea merchants, for it was not custom
airy at that time for merchants to nav
cash for their stock-Lipton got ready
for his advertising. He bought two of
the latest hogs that could be found
anywhere in London, had them care
fully scraped and cleaned, tied pink
ribbons around their necks, and sent
them waddling through the crowded
streets, each led by man dressed in
pink, and having between them anoth.
er man carrying banner upon which
were inscribed the words, 1--WE are 60
Ing to Lipton's pink tea. Come along
yourself!' OF course the shop was
crowded within an hour. The low
prices caught the peoples fancy, too,
and business became so brisk that in
stead of serving behind the counter, as
he had originally intended for about a
year, anyway, Upton was compelled
to employ dozen clerks to do that
work, while he attended exclusively to
the getting out of new advertising
lodges.

RESIDENTS OF THE PHILIPPINES.

A native Of the Philippine Islands
who has sworn allegiance to the United

must refuse, as my power to act in
such capacity has not yet been decid-
ed" DR.. Rigidor. who accompanied
the Filipino as counsel. spoke up and
said: "Then to whom shall we apply
for protection abroad? The Spanish
embassy referred us to you" Eyes,
Spain is unable to help you,"' exclaim-
ed Choate. II don't know how the
difficulty can be bridged unless, per-
haps, you are granted certificate
showing that you are Filipino citizens
entitled to American protection"
"Do you refuse passports to resi-
dents of present American territory?'

asked Rigidor. The ambassador didn't
reply, and Rigidor said:
eff we are not American citizens,
what is our nationality?'
Call of these questions are for the
supreme court of the United States to
decide" said Choate.
The American ambassador cabled to
John Hay for instructions and that
Anglomaniac, told him to issue some
papers, but not passports, certifying
that the bearer of them was "a resi-
dent Of the Philippine Islands and as
such entitled to the protection of the
United States.'' The Filipino took
his pass" and went on his way rejoic-
ing, but wondering what was to be-
come of him hereafter. According to
the Foraker act a Porto Rican is "a
citizen of the United States" who is
entitled to the protection of the United
States government; but a Filipino, ac
cording to Hays instructions to
Choate, is not a citizen of the Philip
pines, but merely resident.
The St Paul Globe, which is Repub-
lican and Democratic by turns, has the
following to say in reference to the
matter:
Can Filipino or Porto Rican be
guilty Of treason? If he be not citi
zen of the United States and entitled
to the protection afforded by the con-
stitution, what is his status? If he
suffer indignity ut the hands of for
eign government. will the army and
navy of the United States be called
upon, if necessary, to vindicate his
rights under the Stars and Stripes?
AS Dr. Rlgidor APPLY asks: eff we
are not American citizens, what is our
nationality" If we are not citizens,
are we subjects? If subjects, what
are our rights and what are our du-
ties? Who is our master? Shall we
look to the executive of the great re-
public for instructions and protection,
or are we to depend upon the uncertain
action Of congress?
Can this congress or the executive
impose upon our territorial inhabitants
obligations and taxes without repre-
sentation in that congress or without
the ordinary guarantees of American
citizens? To adopt the language of
Chief Justice Fuller in his dissenting
opinion in the Downes case, 1--WE can
not believe that congress has the pow
er to keep Porto Rico like disem-
bodied shade, in an intermediate state
Of ambiguous existence for an indefi-
mite period"
The curtain has just risen on this
farce-tragedy-the trouble has Just be-
gun.

The Canadian Freeman says: Eng
land, in some respects, can show the
United States some valued examples
in the matter of liberality to Catholics.
There are not over four Catholic chap
lains in the American army from top
to bottom. With the British troops at
present in South Africa there are sixty
seven Catholic chaplains. In addition
to these there are fourteen officiating
chaplains belonging to the various mis-
sions in the vicariate of South Africa.
Uncle Sam is not in it when it comes
to making Catholic appointments in or
out of the army.

Says the San Francisco Monitor: 1t
is not surprising to learn that Ameri-
can residents Of the American city Of
Tacoma were not pleased at the action
of the officers of the U. S. transport
Rosecrans in decorating that vessel in
honor of the queens birthday. To
make matters worse, the captain haul
ed down the American ensign, which
the regulations require to be displayed
at all times, and hauled up in it's place
the Union Jack. No matter how high
ly one may think of her late majesty,
no American can approve Of this un-
necessary and uncalled for pro British
demonstration on the part of the trans

Cardinal Vaughan, who introduced
the English Catholic deputation to the
king, knelt before the throne and kissed
his majesty's hand, like all the other
subjects of his majesty. This partic-
ular point Of etiquette would be set
tied in different fashion in other coun-
tries, as, for instance, in Spain, where
ereign. 1t must be humiliating, if not
degrading, for prince of the church

crime against the American nation in
the eighteenth century, is now repeat
ed against the Boer nation in the twen-
tieth. The farm burning was an inno-
cent measure compared with the latest
acts of the despairing British govern
ment and generals. 1t has violated the
sense Of decency and the sense of pru-
dence of all white South Africa, which
realizes what such a diabolical mea-
sure may mean to the cause of civiliza-
ton there. The measure was taken, it
is declared by the Natal premier, with
out consulting the civil or native au-
thorities, although it was we'll known
to be contrary to the policy of the Col
ony. The prime minister protested
without avail, and his protest is now
to be backed up by the protest of the
Natal legislative assembly, which a
year and half ago was helping to
"save the empire from the disasters
that befel the British generals in
northern Natal. Thus runs the course
of the existing factious government,
from outrage to outrage, and from
blunder to blunder, until the very peo-
pie whose territory it is supposed to
be defending rise up with cry, "Non
tall auxilio." The outrage shows the
desperate straits to which the army Of
"conquerors'' has been reduced.
