ARCHBISHOP CR0KE.
Panegyrlc on the Late Prelate b,
Cardinal Moran.

At the Months Mind of the late
Archbishop Crollc held on 25th OF
August, i'm the Cathedral, Thurles, his
Emincnce Cardinal Moran preached an
eloquent pancgyric on the deceased
prclatc. In Ireland said his Eminencc,
almost alone amongst the nat ,ons, re-
ligion and patriotism are happily
blended into one. We owe this to THE
heroic devutcdmass OF our people
throughout the terrible warfare in
which for three centuries they en-
gagged in defence of Faith and Father
land. a powerful nation left nothing
undone to extci inmate the Irish peo-
pie, and. this proving imp ssil,le, an
agency was employed to Cypress and
to degrade at the same time DIR re-
ligion and our race. Throughout those
ages of suffering and peril priests and
the Banner of Erin fighting fer reli.
gion, and triunM,lcd in martyrdom for
that sacred cause. Alike they were
seen marshnllcl under the banner OF
the Cross combating for their native
land, and though brslzad as in Il NOR
tar. vet they were invincible under
every oplnTssi m, enduring every hard
ship sooner than surrender that hal
lowed heritage. There is no evil but Il
benign Providence may draw forth Il
blessing from it, and. like the suffer-
ngs and triunlphs of the Maccabces
of old. Erin's martyrd0m ana incom-
parable 'h>roiSm have meritcd an I'M
perishable reward. Her religion and
patriotism have been inscparably
blended together. and as if fused into
one in the affection of her Catholic
people, and thus united they have be-
come the symbol of lrcland's faith and
the presage of Ireland's freedom. Az
a genuine patriot, Archbishop Croke
wished all the grievances under which
his country labolel to be redressed
but he was foremost in recognizing
that it was only through peaceful and
legitimate agitation such redress could
be achieved. In this he took Daniel
O'Connell for his guide, and he de-
no,lnced as missioner and Il sham
the false patriotism that would lead
his countrymen into career of crime.
Justice and freedom for Ireland, under
the banner of the Gross, was the NOV
ing principle of O'Comell's political
career. 1t was the guiding maxim
from which the deceased prelate never
deviated, aud by his fidelity to 1t he
earned the enthusiastic affection ana

The following story is told by Mr..
Joseph Seagram, Canadian member
Of parliament:
II was passing down Fifth avenue
in New York when noticed gang
of Italian laborers trying to lift a
large steel pipe to its place in the
pavement for carrying of the water.
The foreman became impatient at
their incapacity and seeing another
gang Of big strapping Irish workmen
passing, he called to the boss In

Italians said:

DR.. Croke refused to withdraw his

The Pope wisely declined to exert any

sent back to Dublin unconquered and

made speech to some Irish students

significantly alluded to himself as ''un-

than in the works executed with this
material. from prehistoric and pagan
times down to the {, urth and fifth cen
turtles of the Christian era in ireland.
The first and oldest examples of
work in stone in Ireland are the curl
GUS cairns and cromlcchs, freely seat
tered all over tho country. They are
huge bouldel,s. weighing several tons,
which were taken in Il state of nature
and lifted into position on smaller
blocks of the same material; probably
by the hcrculnan lnhOrs of q large
number of men. These huge blocks
of umhcwn stone are believed to have
been used to mark the last resting
place of some great king or chcftain;
some have surfaces highly y lishcd, as
if by blocks OF zee gliding over them,
during the glacial period.
The crlldcst forms of work in stone
to be found in Ireland are believed to
| date back to Il period anterior to the
Christian era, and to come down to
the fourth and fifth centuries Previ-
GUS to the end of this period the uses
of adhesive materials Of the nature of
mortar and cement are believed to
have been quite unknown.
One of the M st remarkable Speci-
mems Of this work is Dun Acngus, in
the Isles of Arran, Oh the west coast
of Ireland. DIR. Petria and other learn
ed antiquarians have drawn attention
to THE marvcllOusly fine construction
Of the walls of these forts OF the pa
gan Gaels, erected centuries ago, at Il
period when ccmented and toOl-dressed
masonry were alike unknown. With
out mortar of any kind these enormous
and close-fitting masses have been
erected so skllfully as to enable them
to resist tina storms, the rains and the
SHOWS of many centuries. The exact
age of some Of these great prehistoric
structures is not known with any de-
gree Of exactitude, but most savants
believe that THE huge fort alluded to
is fully 5000 years old. The industry
of quarrying, dressing and preparing
stone for building. architectural and
sculptural purposes, is one Of the most
ancient in Ireland, and one that at the
present time is capable OF very great
development Some Of the best lime
stone in the world, both for building
and sculptural purposes, is obtainable
all over Ireland. The Ballinasloe dis
trict abounds with limestone OF the
very best quality; it ia also found in
abundance in Kilkenny, the Drogheda
district and the county Carlow.

\ surrendered, for if tlrey are surren-
1 dered the people will then have to de-
{ pend entirely upon the Federal gov
u eminent for protection.
'nhe Federal remedy should be
added to, not substituted for, the state
remedy. The Republicans two years
ago attempted to pass through the
House of Representative a resolution
submitting such an amendment as the
president now advocates, and the Dem
ocrats opposed it ON the ground that
congress already has power to exter-
inmate the trusts and should exercise
that power instead of trying to rob
the states of their power. In the sum-
mer of 1900 the Republicans brought
an antitrust bill to vote i'm the House
of Representatives. and the Democrats
supported it, but it died in the senate.
This year congress adjourned without
getting an antitrust bill Through the
House. Why talk about an umeces-
sary constitutional amendment when
the Republicans in congress refuse to
use the power they already have?
'srhe Republicans are in absolute
control of the Federal government;
they have the president. the Senate,
the House and the Supreme Court.
They have it in their power to ell
force existing laws and to make new
ones, but the trusts grow rich while
the attorney general. whom they Sc
lected, goes through the farce of en-
Joining two combinations. The rest Of
the trusts enjoy immunity from all at
tack and the two referred to are not
disturbed by criminal prosecution.
While the injunction suits languish,
