The recent attacks on the Arch
bishop Of New Orleans show an
amount of bigotry and disregard for
the truth that is appalling. Such
newspapers as the Record-Herald, of
Chicago, are read by thousands of
Catholics whose minds are poisoned
by such letters as those of VIM. q.
Curtis, it's European correspondent.
The proprietor of the paper, H. H.
Kohlsaat, has not published the Arch
bishops reply. The Catholics who
patronize such paper never read a
good Catholic weekly to learn the
truth of things, and after a while
they become doubters of Catholic
teaching and cease to be practical
Catholics. The evil effects of yellow
literature are already perceptible
among some of the Catholic laity.
They will not read any Catholic
paper, but depend exclusively on
the daily press for information. One
enterprising proprietor of daily sheet
when asked to cease publishing lies,
said that he didn't care d-n-what
he wanted was news!

A few writer's on the Catholic press,
here and there, make a great deal of
buster about what they call prom
inent Catholics. Some very great
mans wife's second cousin is a prom
inent Catholic, or the present siren
uous President of the United States
claims relationship with a Catholic
Archbishop who is now dead. A GER
tain excellent judge in Minneapolis
once appeared at a st. Patrick's Day
entertainment with shamrock in his
button-hole. When asked as to his
nationality he said he lived next door
to an Irishman for many years and
thought him pretty good fellow. He
thought the land he hailed from
must be pretty good too. There is
too much snobbery in some Catholic
papers about prominent Catholics
who are never prominent in contribut-
ing of their means to the cause of
religion or education.

a, MANIFESTO TO IRISH AMERICA.

Never within our time has the posi-
ton of Nationalist Ireland towards
England and the British Empire
been more explicitly defined than in
the soul-stirring Call to Arms which
has just been addressed to the Irish
Americans, and to all lovers of Free
dom in the Great Republic, over the
signatures Of the foremost leaders of
Irish thought and National feeling
across the Atlantic ocean, says the
Dublin Irish People of Jan. 4.
From the very beginning we have
maintained and insisted that ''the
grievances under which Ireland, after
the lapse of generations, still labors,
would justify an appeal to arms were
her military resources and opportun-
tiles equal to her wrongs and her re-
sentiment"
But they are NOT. We have not hes
itated to face the cold, hard logic Of
facts. We are at present UNFRAMED,
unarmed, and without formidable
allies" Nay, we have no allies,
formidable or otherwise, but the
children of our own race. The Powers
who have looked with calm unconcern
on the determination of the Boer Ma
tons by every device that the malig-
nifty of inhuman demons could de-
wise, would watch as calmly and I'M
concernedly the extinction of the
Irish race ut the hands of the British
tyrants, did Ireland give Britain an
excuse just now for entering with real
zest upon such campaign.
Reference is made in the manifesto
to the fact that Ireland is not "in a
position to cope with the land and sea
forces of England which occupy her
fortresses, command her seaports, and
can be heavily reinforced within a
few hours from the military depots
and naval reserves Of her oppressor."
Had we only England's military"
resources to contend against, we
might reasonably discuss the posi-
bility of preparing actively for an ef-
fort. But England has not merely
some trained soldiers left, not to men
ton her Volunteers. who would willing
ly cross the Channel to fight unarmed
and unframed Ireland. She has a
population of more than forty millions,
a large proportion Of whom are sunk
in Paganism and misery. With the

The beef-eating English are "sans
teeth" as the Bard of Avon saws.
Medical examiners are rejecting
thousands of young men for the South
African service because they have no
molars to masticate the army rations.
A noted dentist has offered to furnish
the government with an unlimited
supply of false teeth for the Tommies.
But the poor Tommies on the veldts
say they are starving to death. If
half of what they say in their letters
to Reynolds Newspaper is true, the
absence of teeth does not cut much
of figure with the common soldiers
of England in the present campaign.
The officers. however, have enough
to eat and drink.

a sincere feeling of esteem" and will
give hearty welcome to his royal
brother.
The Tribune thinks that as the EN-
peror of Germany condescends to
send his brother in an imperial yacht
to attend the launching Of his own
vessel in an American shipyard, there
is nothing unbecoming in sending an
envoy extraordinary and officers Of
the army and navy in vessel OF two
to King Edwards coronation. There
is no parallelism between the two
cases, and the instance cited by the
Tribune shows that there is no tenable
ground for this new departure on the
part Of the United States.
England at all times has been the
foe of republican institutions. We
owe her no debt of gratitude for any
thing she has ever done for us. Her
professions of friendship are false and
insincere. Her cry of "Anglo-Saxon
Kinship" is a mockery, a delusion,
and a snare. Not over one-fifth of
the American people of to-day can
trace their pedigree to an English
source. Four-fifths of them repudi-
ate any superiority of the Anglo-Sax-
on race over any other, and detest
the effete monarchy and aristocracy
of England. Europe and not Eng
land is the mother country of Amer
ica," said Thomas Paine, the deistical
and political writer, who was himself
native of England. Europe is the
mother country in a much greater
degree today than in the time of
Paine.
The American people should ask
their representatives in Congress to
oppose the sending of special ENJOYS
to attend the medieval ceremony of
browning hereditary, good-for-noth-
ing king for whom the democracy of
England entertain the supremest con-
tempt. Joseph H. Choate, the resi-
dent ambassador, can officiate on the
occasion. He will consider it an hon
or to play an obsequious part at the
coronation and no oriental helot can
surpass him in kowtowing with grace
full servility to the eldest son of Queen
Victoria.

The German Emperor will not at
tend the coronation of his uncle, Ed
ward VII. The Kaiser never cared
anything for him when he was Prince
of Wales. Owing to the STRAINED re-

Berlin and London and the hostility be-
tween the German and English press
over Chamberlain and the Boer war,
the author Of the congratulatory mes

An ingenious arithmetician, writing
in the London Speaker, makes the fol-
lowing calculation in comparing the
weight in flesh of the Beers and the.
cost in gold Of the war: Assuming
that the Boer army proper contained
originally about 22,S7O men, averag-
ing in weight 154 pounds, and &C.
cepting the estimate of Mr.. Lloyd
George, the pro-Boer member of par
lament, that the war will eventually
cost England some $2,OOO,OO0,OOO, he
makes the discovery that the whole
OF the Transvaal army might have
been weighed out in the scales and
barely equal the weight in gold which
will be required before they are all
led into death OF captivity.

Journal: "a damned incendiary docu-
ment'' is what United States mill
tary officer in the Philippine Islands
has called the American Declaration
of Independence, which he prevented
from being circulated among the ma
tives. Will the "incendiary docu-
ment' be excluded from the United
States histories to be used in the

ton at Washington approve of the
designation Of the document as
s'damned' and ''incendiary?"

Is the French nation Catholic? No,
and it has not been Catholic since the
Revolution. France has produced
great missionaries, learned Catholics,
and is rich in Catholic schools and
converts; but it is more than half nom
Catholic. The idea that handful Of
Freemasons can cause all the persecu-.
ton of religious orders is ridiculous.
1t is we'll to assert that more than half
the nation is not only none Catholic,
but it is anti-C Catholic. Calling France
a great Catholic nation is nonsense.
Hundreds Of thousands Of Frances
population have never been baptized,
never go to church, and have an in
tense hatred for all religion.

Says the Ottawa Union: The gov
eminent statistics show that Ireland
is the portion Of the United Kingdom
most free from crime, and further
comparison shows that she is more
free from crime than any other coun-
try in Europe. Mr.. John e. Red
mond declares that whatever crime
exists in Ireland today is deliberately
promoted by the police and agents of
the Crown. This is a powerful argu-
ment for clean sweep-out of Castle

'or clerical capacity in any part Of the
empire. They care nothing for Ire
land, and when they leave it and re-
turn after many years with pension
for faithful service to England they
come with "soul so dead" that they
hate to live in their native land in
their declining years. Irish pension
ers of this class will never try to free
Ireland from the yoke of British op-
preston.
And how is it with members of the
learned professions in Ireland? 1t
is enough to mention the late Judge
Keogh. and his worthy successor on
the bench, Chief Justice Peter O'Brien.
Such men are disgrace to Ireland.
They find peculiar pleasure in de-
priving their own countrymen and
co-religionists of ''life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness" They dress in
the livery Of England, and wear wigs
and gowns as the insignia of degrade
ton. The country is too prolific in
wretches Of that description.
And how is it with the politicians?
1t is a notorious fact that until the
entry of Parnell into Irish poll
tics, the members of parliament from
Ireland could not be depended upon
by their constituents. They were
ready and willing to sell their country
for mess Of British pottage. Some
who figured as patriots betrayed the
cause of Ireland. They can do so no
longer. The 50 parliamentary rep
resentatives at Westminster under the
leadership of John Redmond are abso-
lutely incorruptble. Whether they ac-
omplish much or little for Ireland they
have superseded the place-hunters
of the past, and exhibit an unselfish
patriotism which is recognized by the
English themselves. They will never
barter the cause of Irish nationality
for any gifts in the power of England
to bestow. That could not have been
truly said of their predecessors. These
thoughts have been suggested by Sen
ator Hoar's address, and they are
respectfully submitted to our readers
for what they are worth.
