America and cataolici,y.

In one Of his great orations, deliv-
cred in New York, the late Daniel
Dougherty said:
aye, proclaim it to the four winds
Of heaven, sound it to the remotest
corner Of earth, shape it in epigram,
embalm 1t in song, engrave 1t on mon
uments, and blazon 1t everywhere-a
monk first inspired Columbus with
hope; Catholic sovereigns sent the
first ship across the trackless main;
the Catholic Columbus, with his Cath
olic crew, discovered this continent
A Catholic gave it the name of Amer
lea; the new-found land was dedicated
to the patronage of the Blessed
Mother; the first strain of song heard
along the western wave was the
hymn to the Holy Virgin; the earliest
worship Of the true God was the holy
sacrifice of the Mass; the first stand
ard planted was the standard Of the
cross; the first, the only martyr, that
ever here upon the soil of New York
rose from the fires of sacrifice to
heaven, was Catholic; the first In
stitution of learning, and the first in
stitution Of charity was Catholic.
Catholic Maryland also established
religious liberty; Catholic France
aided with an army our revolutionary
struggle. and Catholic powers were
the first to acknowledge the indie.

An Error Attacked.

It is frequently asserted, to the
great satisfaction of many Americans,
that the English form Of government
is the finest in the world, being, in a
number of respects, superior to our
own, says the Baltimore Mirror. 1t
is common error, so common in
deed, that it is admitted as truth by
many even of those who are not es-
pecialIy lovers of the English people.
1t will come as surprise to all those,
that a professor of Harvard Univer-
sity, situated somewhat near the
heart Of Anglo-Saxondom, should con-
travene this view. Yet this is what
has occurred. Prof. Edwin D. Mead,
The Irish standard., 1902-02-08

Tyrconnell gave up the command. He
surrendered it to the Marquis dc st.
Ruth. The general marched his army
the day following, and having crossed
the river Suck, he encamped ut
44sssllrim, which wass u very advan-,
tageous position. The castle of Augll-
rim, situated at the head of cause
way, being the only place through
which the enemy could pass, pro-
tected it's front; on the other side it
was surrounded by bog of great ex-
tent. The enemy, who were in pursuit
Of the Irish army, appeared on Mon
day, the 22nd, within view Of the
camp, and began to dellle through
the causeway. Col. Walter Burke was
posted with his regiment in the castle
to oppose their passage, but, through
some error fatal to the cause he was
engaged in, he was prevented from
accomplishing his object. Having Or
dered the necessary ammunition to be
sent for to the camp, four barrels of
powder, and as many Of ammunition
were forwarded; but instead of
musket he found cannon balls, which
were Of no use. In consequence of
this, the enemy's cavalry passed
safely through the causeway, while
the infantry were crossing the bog,
and We're drawn up in order Of battle
before the Irish army. st. Ruth, like
n skilful general, omitted nothing to
resist them with effect. The battle
began with equal fury on both sides,
and lasted till night. James's infantry
performed prodigies of valor, driving
the enemy three times back to their
cannon. It is said that at the third
repulsc st. Ruth threw his hat into the
air with joy; but Immediately after he
unfortunately fell by canRon-ball.
His death soon changed the fortune
of the day; dreadful disorder fol-
lowed; the soldiers being left without
commander, the infantry, unsup-
ported by the cavalry, were crushed
by the enemy's horse, and the rout be-
came general. The flower of the Irish
army perished on this unhappy day,
and had it not been for the presence
Of mind Of the almoner Of regiment,
called O'Reilly, who made drum
major beat to the charge on q hill near
the bog which James's army was to
march, the loss would have been still
greater. BY this stratagem the van
quished gained sufficient time to take
the road for Limerick. After the de.
feat Of James's army at Aughrim,
Galway and Sligo surrendered to the
English, and Ginkle laid siege to Lin
erick on the 5th of September.

lecturing before the Twentieth Cen
tury Club Of Boston, took occasion to
say that the form of government in
the British empire, whether within
the three kingdoms or in the domin-
IONS, beyond the seas, is u positive
curse to an enlightened and progress
i've people. The professor went on
to say that one of the silliest de-
lusions of certain classes Of Ameri-
cans is that while England is u lin
tied monarchy, it is under form Of
government which is really, in most
features, perfect form of free gov
ernment.
In dealing with this view Prof.
Mead proved that the British empire
is in every way u military empire,
based ON bayOnets and guns, and in
which the most intelligent and pro-
gressive people are unable to make
their influence felt in the conduct of
national affairs.
1t Is good to see some man of in
fiuence rise up and warn us against
fallacies SO unpatriodc as those
which Angloanania clrculates The
English form of government may or
may not be the best form for the
English people. 1t is certainly not to
be held up to the contemplation Of
Americans as superior to their own
established institutions. There Is a
craving in this country among cer-
tain classes for a stronger, more con-
servative government, which probably
means less popular one. To those
who desire this, England liz an OBJ
ject of emulation.
1t is good to see their idol shat
tered by any one whose opinions are
entitled to respect. Americans need
not look beyond the border of their
own land, for freedom and for the
proper degree Of conservatism in ad-
nintshati0n.

There was not much time for deliber-
tion. The planking had been nearly
completed, and the grenadiers were
advanced along this new causeway.
Everything seemed in their favor.
Battery upon battery had heen.
trained, from every possible angle, on
that narrow spot. But the William
ties had misjudged the indomitable
intrepidity of the defenders; and
although it was certain death to ap-
pear on that bridge, yet it must go
down, and that within very short
time. if Athlone would be saved.
The Irish army under st. Ruth was
by this time in Athlone, and from
one Of the regiments under General
Maxwell stepped forth stalwart and
determined looking soldier. He was,
Sergeant Custume of the dragoons..
He faced his comrades and said in
clear ringing voice: care there ten
men among you who will die with me
for Ireland?" .t
"Aye! Aye!' came the hearty re-
sponse from hundred lusty throats.
'"rhen," said Custume, 1--WE will
save Athlone! The bridge must go
dOWn!"
In fash ten comrades were by his
side and seizing axes and crowbars,
they. jumped their trenches and
dashed forward toward the all but
completed bridge. For moment all
was silence. The Irish and the Will
liamite army held their breath in as
tonishment, and watched that noble
eleven going hurriedly to the place of
sacrifice, where they with strength
and courage beyond what men are
thought capable Of" began to tear
away the planks and beams. Ere
their noble task is ended discharge
of small and large guns swept the
bridge, and the life's blood Of brave
Custume and his comrades mingled
in the onward course of the river.
Must the work be left undone? Is
Athlone to be lost? No! There are
others in that regiment that are ready
to die for Ireland; and no sooner were
the eleven laid low, than eleven more
filed their places. Another deadly
discharge from the enemy. Mine fall.
Two escape. But the. work is done.
The bridge is once more rendered I'M.
passable. BY the most heroic self.
immolation Athlone is saved only 10
he lost again through the folly Of the
vainglorious st. Ruth.
If we 60 back about seven hundred
years another deed, similar in It'd
heroic fortitude, shall loom up before
us and is made more vivid by the
words of the poet:
Remember our wounded companions
who stood
In the days Of distress by our side;
When the moss of the valley grew red
with their blood,
| They stirred not, but conquered and
| died.
st. Ruth may be held responsible
for the loss of the Irish town which
was so vigorously and CALAMITY de-
Tended. More than 1000 of the Irish
were killed and 300 taken prisoners,
according to Able Mac-Goeghegan.
In his history of Ireland he says:
After Athlone was taken the enemy
of King James marched to Ballinasloe,

Washington, Oct. 22-Some Of the
parties interested in the Plus arbitra-
ton are not satisfied with the amount
Of the award in their favor, and hay
appealed TO the state department to
endeavor TO induce The Hague tribunal
TO reopen the case and amend the de.
clsion so as to make the judgment pay
able in gold. The origlnal finding was
IN favor Of the claimants for lump
sum Of Sli20, $50, and the annual pay
nent Of $4,000, payable in Mexican
currency"
This currency, just now, is quoted at
about 40 cents on the dollar as COM
pared to American gold, so that 20
change the judgment as requested
would involve an enormous increase in
the total.
After looking into the treaty bywhich
the arbitration was arranged, Secy,
Hay has found that II was expressly
stipulated that the tribunal should fix
not only the amount. but the kind Of
currency In which the award should
be paid. and he has consequently in
formed the claimants that he cannot
grant their request.

stomach and liver are ven serious and

All OF the more serious forms Of ca
tarrh begin with nasal catarrh the To-
cal symptoms being profuse dis
charge, stoppage OF nostrils, irritation
ana frequent clearing Of the throat,
sneezing coughing and gageing,
The old style of treatment with
douches, inhalers, sprays, saves, etc,
simply give temporary relief and every
one who has used any Of them knows
how useless they are and their incOn-
venience Is such that very few have the
time or patience TO continue their use.
A radical cure Of catarrh can only be
obtained from a treatment which re-
moves the catarrhal faint from the
blood because no one will now dispute
that catarrh Is constitutional or blood
disease, and local applications can have
no eject except TO temporarily relieve
local symptoms.

taken Internally and nets upon the

He said that the skull was discovered

that It dated back 10 glacial ages.
