 These conditions were not discussed in a spirit of fault finding. It was only intended to show that it is not wholly the fault of the world that every body does not go to church.

ENGLISH ANTAGONIST TO AMERICA.

The recent exposure of English
hypocrisy and perfidy to the United
States Mt the opening Of the Spanish
American war recalls the attitude Of
Great Britain towards the North
during the Civil War of 1865. In
its issue of last Sunday the New York
Sun refers at length TO an address on
this subject delivered by Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams last November before
the New York Historical Society, and
which has just been published. In Il
leading article the Sun says:
In England sympathy with the Con-
federacy was unrestrained in it's.

late as the close of 1863 pressure by

give you dollar and a quarter!"
Tom turned moment with an in
dignant look, and replied:
eff you get any of this pike, you'll
have to get it of Mr.. Kerster."
And on he went bending under his
load till he reached the store.
Mr.. Kerster was astonished.
"Fifty cents isn't enough for that
fish," he said. 81 shall have to give
you dollar" !
mo sir, it's yours for fifty cents,"'
insisted Tom. 'I'll not take any more.
You've been kind enough to pay me for
some that were pretty short"
And fifty cents was the price paid
for the big pike.
This story Mr.. Kerster himself, in
his old age, gave to his nephew, Judge
McWhorter, who gave it to the Chi
cago Standard.
The fine conscience and keen sense
of honor that ruled the boy fixed the
habit of his lifetime.
The name by which he became
known to the world was "Stonewall'

A PARTNER IN The ALLIANCE.

There is no doubt but that John
Hay, the Secretary of State, has made
the United States a silent partner in
the Anglo-Japanese treaty against
Russia. 1t has been officially admit
ted in Washington that a copy Of the
treaty had been at the national cap
ital for some time before it's publica-
ton; and the fact that Hay had nOti-
fled Russia of its agreement to pre-
serve the integrity of China and of it's
vacating Manchuria is sufficient evil
dence of a secret understanding with
England on his part. In view of the
fact that Russia has always been the
friend of the United States and that
England has been it's enemy, it is hard
to understand why President Roosc-
welt keeps Hay in office to aid England
in her pratical proceedings.
If Hay is kept much longer in office
he will plunge the country into war.
He is more British than American.
Though he knew that England,
through Lord Pauncefote, proposed a
coalition of European powers against
the United States i'll 1898, he never
uttered word against the treachery
of the Mother Country" but aided
her in every possible way, both in
South Africa and in Alaska. IIc
sent his son to Pretoria to represent
England and by a modus vivendi gave
away American territory rich in gold
in the Yukon region, though high
Joint commission had been appointed
to settle the claim. What has become
of that commission? The Canadian
agents in Alaska have been riding
rough-shod over American citizens and
Hay has paid no heed to their indig-
nant protests. He was afraid of in
ternational complications with Great
Britain The American collector Of
customs at Sitka, Mr.. J. w. Ivey,
knows what kind of an American
John Hay is. In Il letter to the state
department., Mr.. Ivey says:
"If there is an ancient treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain by which British subjects can
commit depredations, destroying Amer
lean property, and depicting our reve-
nue. of tens of thousands of dollars
annually. while our own citizens are
denied these privileges. the sooner such
treaty is abrogated, the better. Your
solicitude regarding international COM
plications with Great Britain need
cause you no uneasiness as the poach-
ing season is not yet opened. Your
new collector will arrive in time to en-
force your orders. My Americanism
will not allow me to rescind an order
which. gives British subjects privileges
within our marine Jurisdiction which
are denied our own people.

A Boys Sense of Honesty.

The kind Of grit that is needed to
give us a first-class standing for hon
esty and good purpose is shown in this
old but true story of Stonewall Jack
son when he was boy. 81.
Jackson was a healthy bow and had
very high ideas Of honor and a strong
sense of right.
He was fond of fishing and equally
foRd of selling his fish whenever he
could find customer.
In the village of Weston, three miles
above the mills, Conrad Kerster kept a
small store and market.
He had agreed with the boy to give
him fifty cents for every pike foot or
more in length that he caught in the
mill-pond.
The boy was only ten years old, but
he made the contract in good faith:
and, as the sequel showed, he knew
how to keep it.
AS time went on, good many 12-
inch pike were delivered at the market
with mutual satisfaction to both par
ties to the trade.
One day the boy was seen Juggling
through the village an enormous fish
that almost dragged on the ground.
1t was two inches over yard long.
Col. Talbot, gentleman who knew
the young fisherman very well, hailed
him, and complimented him on his
success.
"a noble fish. Tom! Where are YOU
going with it? want to buy it."
ITS sold to Mr.. Kerster," said the
boy without stopping.
"That can't be. He hasn't seen it.
Say. I'll give you a dollar for it,
II tell you it's sold. 'Tisn't mine"
whats Kerster going to give you
for it?"
Fifty centsy' shouted Tom, still
keeping on his way.

ance from British domination arrives,
one of the first things the Catholics of
ireland will do is to erect an enduring
monument with an appropriate cpl
taph to the memory of the Protestant
patriot who sacrificed his life for his
country. The land for which he died
has not yet taken it's place among the
free nations of the earth, but it is
consoling to reflect that England is
gradually growing weaker, and that
the irrepressible struggle for Irish
nationality goes on with undated
vigor and perseverance.

pie as brave and high-spirited as the
Irish can be expected to submit for

fed in agitating until England recog-

Death Of a fenian.

Charles Underwood O'Connell, who
died from injuries received in the
awful fire at the Park Avenue hotel,
New York, last Saturday, was grand
nephew of the great O'Connell. He
served in the Union army and became
prominent in the Fenian movement.
He fell into the hands of the enemy
in Ireland, was convicted by a packed
jury and sentenced to ten years. i'm
prisonment. He endured for Ireland's
sake four years of penal servitude in
British jails, but came forth unbroken
in spirit. He returned to this country
and was for many years clerk of the
court of common pleas in New York.
He received warm popular well
come when he revisited Ireland, and
with John O'Leary, was accorded the
place of honor at the Parnell funeral.
On his return to New York, he re-
sided at the Park Avenue hotel, his
income being derived from property in
ireland.
Captain O'Connell hated the British
empire as much as John Mitchell and
as fervently desired it's overthrow.
Like John O'Leary he despised parlia-
mentary agitation, being resolved
never to take the oath of allegiance to
the British crown. He was thought
full, studious and companionable, be-
ing endowed with the genial temporal
ment of the Irish race. His courage
was undaunted. He made a defiant
speech from the dock, and spoke
amidst running fire of Interruptions
from Judge Keogh, who proceeded to
pass sentence. In the course of his
address Keogh said: ''You, it appears,
went to America; you entered your
self in the American army, thus VIC
lating, to certain extent, your allie
glance as a British subject. You say
YOU swore allegiance to- the American
republic, but no man by so doing can
relieve himself from his allegiance to
the British crown. From the mo-
ment a man is born in this country
he owes allegiance; he is subject"
Hearing these words, and remem-
bering the great cutlery being made
by the friends of the government
against the Irish-American Fenians,
on the ground that they were ''for-
eigners' Captain O'Connell said:
eff that is so, why am charged with
bringing over foreigners-John O'NIa-
hony is no foreigner
To that remark Judge Keogh did
not choose to make any reply. 1t over
turned him completely.
The Irish people who hold in CRATE
full remembrance William Orr, Wolfe
Tone, the Shearses and Robert Emmett
will also keep green in their souls the
memory of Charles Underwood O'Con-
nell. May he rest in peace.

Miss Blanche Walsh, an emotional
actress, has been pozing as Il Bud
dhist for some time and finds that her
receipts have considerably fallen off
in consequence. She is the daughter
of New York Irish alderman and
was brought up a.Catholic. In a fool
ish freak she proclaimed herself a
disciple of Buddha, and instead of
believing in purgatory she believed in
the transmigration of souls through all
phases and forms of life Unlike Mary
Anderson and Helene Modjeska.
Blanche Walsh forgot her religion and
is now sorry for it. She finds that it
does not pay to be pagan in the land
discovered by Columbus.

The Confessional.

A resting place along life's troublous
way,
Where weary hearts can lay their
burdens down;
Forgiving smiles dispel the accusing
frown
OF conscience, for the moments gomez
astray..
The entrance, woe. The joyous exit
veal;
Just room enough to pray, repent, and
kneel.
Gods ministers, with mind and soul
and voice,
In kindly words, vouchsafe heal
ing balm,
The tempest-tossed find there the
heavenly calm
And tear-wet eyes are lifted to re-
joice.
1t is a wayside shrine, where those
who wait
Gain faith and guidance toward the
heavenly gate.
Within its shadows life begins anew;
Distasteful grow the follies that a4
lured;
The truly penitent depart assured
OF high-born thoughts that last life
time through.
The earthly symbol of the gate of
heaven;
Kneel, pray, repent. Pass on. Thou
are forgiven.

tiles; but as those are the two which
it is the chief object of our diplo-
macy to keep in agreement and af-
fectionate accord, hope you will
think my wife's position is no disad-
vantage" 1t is to be regretted that
American women marry such Eng
lishmen as Chamberlain. American
men rarely, if ever, marry English
women.

The American House Of Lords was
shocked last Saturday at the pugil-
istic exhibition given by the two SEN
ators from South Carolina. Tillman
is unpopular with the Republican
members, because of his denunciation
of their Philippine policy, and they
would gladly eXpel him if they could.
McI4aurin was elected as a Demo-
GRAFT, but went back on his party.
He has received many courtesies from
the Republicans on account of his
recreancy. Tillman was justified in
referring to him in strong language,
and when accused of deliberate false
hood he struck his colleague between
the eyes. The fellow deserved no bet
ter treatment.

The infamous Margaret Shepherd

peated her ISLANDERS against priests and
nuns. The Catholics of the city held
indignation meetings last Sunday and
denounced her lying utterances. She
was arrested for selling obscene liter
allure and escaped imprisonment by
leaving for parts unknown. 1t is

give a wide berth to this notorious

ages We're followed with English ad-
miration and exultation. "The COM
pany on the docks of British mail
steamers cheered her to the echo as
they passed." Ardent sympathy for
the South and contemptuous enmity to
the Union were ''well-nigh pervasive."
"Nineteen-twentieths of the ruling
Glass;" said Richard Golden in pub
lie speech, 'were firmly convinced
from the first that the Civil War in
America could only end in separa-
tion." One of the Confederate agents
in England never met among army
and navy men one Of either service
who did not warmly sympathize with
the South" Mr.. Bentinck, a men,
Der of parliament, declared in
speech in 1862, that wherever 1 lave
Travelled throughout the length and
breadth of the land l never vet have
met the man who had not at once
said, My wishes are with the South
erners.'" This was because, as he
explains, the South were fighting
against one of the most grinding, one
of the most CALLING, one Of the most
Irritating attempts to establish tyran-
nical government that ever disgraced
the history of the world.''
The unfortunate utterance" of Mr..
Gladstone, as Mr.. Adams terms it,
was made at about the same time:
1--WE may anticipate with certainty
the success of the Southern States, so
far as regards their separation from
the North. That event is as certain
as any event yet future and contin-
gent can be-" Ten months later, in
parliament, Mr.. Gladstone repeated
that Eve do not believe that the
restoration of the American Union by
force is attainable. 1 believe that the
public opinion of this country K
unanimous upon that subject. I do
not think there is any real or serious
ground for doubt as to the issue of
the contest" Earl RUSSELL, Mr..
Gladstone's cabinet associate, had de-
clared in the House of Lords four
months before that "the subjugation
Of the South by the North would
prove calamity to the United States
and to the world, and especially
calamitous to the negro race in those
counties" "We have learned" said
the London Standard, ''to dislike and
almost to despise the North, to sympa-
thize with and cordially admire the
South" The London Times referred
to the North as this 'insensate and
degenerate people," '"The defeat of
the Federalists," said a Liverpool
paper as early as August, 1861, ''gives
unmixed pleasure; the success Of the
Confederates is ardently hoped for,
nay, confidently predicted"
The Sun goes on to say that neither
does itself nor Mr.. Adams recall these
expressions of English feeling with
any view Of reviving resentment be-
cause of them, and then adds: I'm
England there has come about n COM
plete revolution of sentiment toward
America" Has there, indeed. Paunce-
totes note to the ministers of the
European powers at Washington is no
indication of a change Of English
sentiment. He did his utmost to
array all the great powers against this
country, but failed, and the Sun
knows it.
