A QUESTION FOR DECISION.

AS a simple matter of fact are
politicians greater than the people
who have temporarily entrusted
them with power? At the present
moment the question is pertinent
one here in Kentucky.
With naught but kindest inten-
ton we submit that the attitude as
sumed by a number in seeking to
give the people primary conven-
tons instead of primary elections is
going to be wofully misunderstood.
Not only this, but, if persisted in,
the result is going to prove su-
premely disastrous for the candi-
dates so put before the public.
And why! Simply because the
people as whole desire primary
elections instead of conventions.
They are suspicious of the latter
and will defeat candidates so put
up. Whether right or wrong, they
have come to regard conventions as
mere machines capable of being
manipulated by those who invented
them. 1t is useless to deny that
this suspicion exists. 1t does, and
it will grow more widespread from
day to day.
This being true, were it not sim
pie wisdom to allow the people a
primary election if such they desire'
Not only do the men who do the
voting desire the adoption of this
method, but probably a majority of
the candidates likewise. If a pri-
mary is not granted, we again assert
our sincere conviction that those
who vote will make some one suffer
who, perhaps, little deserves to do
SO. The masses, who do the vot-
ing, believe their wishes should not
be ignored.

GLADSTONE FORCES ISSUE.

The unwillingness of the British
Government to submit grave ques-
tons to the people through disso-
luton and election of Parliament,
and the technicalities and subter-
fuges resorted to for avoiding it,
even to the withholding or with
drawal of questions from Parlia-
ment lest the result be a disagree
ment necessitating dissolution and
election during the past five years,
have confirmed the opinion that
the Government is not supported
by the popular will, despite its fire.

appreciation. On the death of
Queen Victoria and accession of
King Edward the claim that such a
change necessitated the election of
a new Parliament was, after grave

career of Evangeline, and presents
it, moreover, after a manner de-
lightfully attractive. Those who
have read Longfellow's poem read
lily will grant that the truth is not
only stranger than fiction, but also
much sadder. Here it may be of
interest to state that a number of
great men have come out of Catho-
lie Acadia, down in Louisiana, while
the descendants of those who re-
turned to Acadia, Nova Scotia, are
today the leaders of Canadian
thought and politics.

A DESERVED DEFEAT.

1t may not be very Christian to
exult in the misfortune of another,
yet, unless we gravely mistake,
Irishmen, and particularly Catholic
Irishmen the country over. will
shed few tears because of the defeat
of Judge Elbridge Hanecy, of Chi
cago, in his race for Mayor last
Tue. day.
In saying this we do not refer to
the political faith of the esteemed
Judge. That he was Republican
is a matter of small concern to Us.
Quite naturally we are always glad
to see one of our race advance by
means of any party, provided, of
course, that he win power and dis
tinction by right methods. Just
here, precisely, is where Judge
Hanecy was weighed and found
wanting.
For instance, it has been plain as
day for several weeks that the
learned and office-desiring Judge
in reality was born and baptized
Patrick Elbridge Hennessy up in
the wilds of Minnesota several lus-
trums ago. The baptismal register
of the humble Catholic church up
there showed this to the satisfac-
ton of every one. His own broth
ers and sisters yet bear the name
Hennessy. Hennessy was his faith
er's name. His people were all
Hennessys and all Catholics. In
boyhood the future Judge himself
was known as Patrick; but that
was years ago.
The youth was bright and ambi-

REcrTINd ENdLAND's INFArIY.

This issue of our journal contains
DIR. ]. w. Fowler's splendid address
on the Catholic Acadians, as an
nounced last week. The article is
one which will be read with great
attention. Mr.. Longfellow's famous
poem, "Evangeline," has made
these people objects of universal
interest, and, as will be seen, DIR.
Fowler relates the story of the great
deportation with exquisite taste and
literary skill.
We submit, however, that driv-
ing the Catholic Acadians from their
homes was scarcely new thing
with England in 1856. Nearly two
centuries before she drove the
ancient Irish proprietors from their
homes in Leinster and lister, and
in I64I she drove thousands more
ito hell or Connaught" out of
Munster. Most infamous of all,
she tore wife from husband and
daughter from father, about that
period, and sold the same to the
Virginia colonists for wives. Thirty
thousand unhappy women were thus
sold, and the infamy of the deed
will stretch down the centuries
while fame wrinkles in hell. No
Longfellow has told of this piteous
thing; yet some time, we hope,
some future poet may arise and do
so.
This aside, DR.. Fowler's address
is notable in that it presents much
new matter with regard to the true

tious. He meant to get on in the
world, and SO departed early from
the scenes of his boyhood. In due
course of time he turned up at Chi
cago, but 10, the change that over
took him en- route. Somewhere
along the road the Patrick slipped
off his name. A little farther and
the ancient name of Hennessy was
dropped and Hanecy took its place.
AS Elbridge Hanecy, then, he was
prepared to assault Fame, if he
could not win her otherwise.
Yet no, another thing remained
his religion. AS a Catholic he
could not expect to become Presi-
dent of the United States possibly
not even a Congressman from I'LL
nojs, or Mayor of Chicago. We
should like to believe the Judge
had here a little struggle; but the
result was that his Catholicity went
the way of the names Patrick"
and Hennessy." 1t, also, got
dropped en- route. When the youth
full hero first swan into public view
he was full-fedged Baptist.
Well, he has his reward. For
awhile he prospered. He became
a Judge. Last Tuesday, however,
he stood for Mayor of Chicago
against Carter Harrison, and, while
a Republican City Council was
elected, Judge "Hanecy" was beat
en- by 10000 plurality. The Irish
of Chicago woke up to his lightning
change of long ago and shelved him
gloriously, just as he deserved to
be shelved. No doubt philologists
may now have opportunity to de-
termine the probable nationality
indicated by the Judges aristocratic
name.
There is a moral attached to the
story and we give it for the ben
eft of ambitious young Irishmen
everywhere. 1t is this: If you are
ashamed of the name and race and
faith of your ancestors, some day
you will wake up and find Yourself
held in contempt by the people you
despise, and by all others whose
respect is worth having as well.
God watches and sees, and will re-
ward according to your deeds.

EASTER IN THE SOUL.

This is Passion week. Next
Sunday is Easter, the greatest fes-
tival of the year. The season is
one of uplift, of birth, of growth,
of regeneration.
We, too, have grown as the days
passed. We have grown older, GER
tainly; perhaps we have grown in
stature. 1t is possible, moreover,
that we have grown mentally. The
age is one of broadening muscles
of Overwhelming mental strength.
It were strange if we did not adj
vance with the age. Yet have we
advanced spiritually? 1t is a peril
nent inquiry. In spring the new
leaves come, the sunlight iswarmer,
clearer, new grass-blades clothe the
sward, and little dew drops begin to
twinkle in early dawn; we, do we
partake of the great awakening in
its fullness? With purified souls do
we share in the universal rebirth?
Are holier emotions like gentle
dews pervading our being? If not,
we may we'll question why.
1t will not suffice that we gain in
mere physical strength, in perish
able wealth, in aggressive mental
ity. These things are of the age
and eyanescent. Our souls, how
ever, are inheritors of the future.
1t is we'll to grow mentally; it is
imperative that we grow spiritually.
Spiritual growth in this world is the
beginning of the life to come.
Growth of this kind does not perish
with the body. 1t clings to us and
widens and broadens through all
eternity. 1t is the base of eternal
knowledge, and whose gathereth it
unto his soul and keepeth it fast
shall not perish.
Therefore, if our souls have I'M
rest at Easter, it is because we have
not purified that which is of God
within us; because we have chosen
rather to advance in things of the
world, or things of the intellect,
rather than in things of the soul.
After its season of rains and SHOWS
and purifying frosts the earth
stands new-washed at Easter; ought
man, Gods last-made creature,
alone dare stand uncleansed before
the All-seeing Father? 1t is the
hour of peace; shall we not go to
Him repentently and come down
from the mount of penitence joying
in the gladness of the worldl

England is good at excuses and
putting the blame for her failures
upon others. Every time her we'll
laid plans to surround and capture
the Beers result, when the lines are
drawn, in showing that the Beers
are not, and perhaps never were,
where they supposed them to be,
the fault being charged to treachery,
dereliction or incompetency of some
official or other cause. Just before
the opening of peace negotiations
and truce Gen. French was sent
with large force to surround and
capture the Beers in Eastern Trans
vaal. The truce suspended military
operations, and when subsequently
Gen. French closed in his trap only
to find no game, it is charged that
the Beers violated the truce by
escaping through his lines during
the suspension of hostilities. This
is palpably a fabrication, since it is
recognized rule of warfare that
the violation of a truce summarily
terminates it, and any act of either
party contrary to the terms of
truce is a just ground for immediate
renewal of hostilities by the other
party. Thus, had the Beers at
tempted to pass the lines of Gen.
French during the truce they
would have been subjected to attack
and capture, and all Beers, even
Gen. Botha and officials, then in the
British lines, could have been
seized-an opportunity which Gen.
Kitchener would not have failed to
take every advantage of. The fact
that such action was not taken by
the British and that nothing was
said of the violation of the truce"
till after the utter failure of Gen.
French's operations all prove that
the claim is a fake, pure and simple,
to excuse the failure.

guarded in their disapproval, and
the extent of popular opposition
to Government policy is clear
ly manifested by the ready and out
spoken defense of Mr.. Gladstone S
position by the opposition press.
Such immediate and general dis
cussion by the press is a sure in
dicator of the public pulse, showing
widespread discomfort, the fore
runner of open rupture in the
British field of politics, in which the
Government must defend its policy
to the satisfaction of the people or
go down in defeat.

consideration, decided in the mega
tive and avoided by the Parliament
taking the oath of allegiance to the
new King. That there is a strong
and steadily growing opposition to
the policy of the Government
throughout the Empire has long
been manifest to all observers, but
has been restrained within the
bounds of inaction by the desperate
and threatening conditions of af-
fairs. The Government, though
not opposed openly, has been sim
ply allowed to pursue its policy in
the hope that the crisis may be
passed or at least become less
grave. But such hopes have been
disappointed; the condition of af-
fairs, not only abroad but at home,
instead of improving are worse,
with a prospect for worse still,
until the opposition have at last
tired of silent acquiescenee, and de-
clared their purpose to oppose a
continuance of the Government
policy.
The letter of Rt. Hon. Herbert
Gladstone, M. P. for West Leeds,
and leader of the Liberal party, is
accepted as such a declaration. and
also indicates forcibly the real feel
ing of the people and depressed
condition of affairs. 1t has excited
alarm throughout government cir
cles as presaging active opposition
in Parliament and forcing either a
modification of the Government
policy or disagreement necessitat-
ing dissolution of Parliament and
appeal to the people. On the most
prominent issues-the Boer war,
the Chinese, Irish and taxation
questions-Mr. Gladstone's utter
ance is at once a rebuke and pro-
test, concluding with a threat of
opposition unless the House of
Lords-the Government bulwark-
yield to change of policy. Of
these Mr.. Gladstone says;
The war in South Africa will
cost not far short of two hundred
millions, and the settlement seems
as far off as ever. There are prob
lens to be solved in the far East of
the first magnitude and the Gov
eminent appears destitute of clear,
settled policy. Already the huge
expenditure for the army and navy
is going up by leaps and bounds,
and will force Europe to add to its
ruinously large assessments. The
Irish are more to the front than
ever, and the Government seems to
view it with apathetic impotence.
The advocates of the Liberals are
not endeavoring to take up the
Governments burden until they
have exacted conditions that their
policy will not again be stulti6ed
by the rejection of their measures
by the House of Lords.
The sensitiveness of the Gov
eminent is fully illustrated by the
prompt and unanimous criticism of
Mr.. Gladstone's letter by the Con-
sentative Government press,

THE PYTHON AT LUNCHEON.

as the snake was completing its meal.
He reached the cage in time to see
the alligator's tail twitching as it dis
appeared from view. The keeper
knew that he could not rescue the
victim without damage to the python,
and pvthons are more valuable than
alligators. so he notified Superin-
tendent Smith of the menagerie.
Smith ordered the other two alliga-
tors taken from the cage, lest the
snake swallow them also. The python
evidently did not consider one alliga-
tor sufficient for a meal, for he slid
into the water tank at frequent inter
walls and searched about for the
others he had previously seen there.
When the snake stretched itself on
the floor there was an apparent bulge
in its middle, and the outlines of the
alligator could be seen plainly.
Superintendent Smith said that the
python would have its strange meal
digested in about a week without any
bad consequences. He was surprised
at its conduct, as the two species of
reptiles live in peace with each other
in a wild state, and that was why no
had put them in the same cage. ..--.=

later. The owner advertised for a
brave man willing TO overpower the
bird WithOu+ weapons.
HI Welch, a piano tuner, agreed to
undertake the job, and a crowd sur
rounded the building to watch the
event.
Welch first endeavored to throw
sack over the eagles head, but vhis
failed and the eagle showed signs Of
fight. The door was quickly opened
and Welch rushed in. He seized the
eagle by the legs, but it gave a swift
lunge toward the door, passed out and
dragged the would-be captor. Welch
was dragged 20 feet, when the eagle
turned and a desperate fight followed.
The piano tuner was getting the rough
end of the conflict, but bystanders in
terfered and the eagle was crippled
and showed into another cage. Welch
was bruised and scratched, but other
wise was not Injured.
