IRISH QUESTION IN A NUTSHELL

Bourke Cochran said many good
things, and needless to add, said them
eloquently, in his speech at the Irish
convention Boston. Here is one of
them:
From the day when the Christian
law of love and the Christian doctrine
that all men were equal in the eyes
of God was accepted by the people of
the world-from that day the extension
of slavery was doomed
And here is another, or rather one
or two others:
'"The Irish people are the only peo-
pie in the world who enjoy neither
the possession of the soil on which,
nor the government under which, they
live There is no people in the world
that does not control one or the other.
The Irish own neither their soil nor
their government. They have demand
ed the control of both. We think they
have demanded it for seven centuries.
They are demanding it now more Wig
orously, more vehemently and more
successfully than ever before. The Eng
liSh government are determined that
they shall control neither their land
nor their government. That is the is
sue. On the one hand the demand of
the Irish people that they shall con-
troll both their government and their
soil and on the other hand the de-
termination of the English govern
ment that they shall control neither"
This is the Irish question in nut
shell, and so put, the right solution is
so obvious that none except the will
fully blind can fail to see it.-Free-

The Pious Fund Again.

! COME time ago, and before the inter
y national court of arbitration BE-
gan its inquiry at The Hague
we published an explanation of the
Pious Fund, along with the contentious
of the republics of the United States
| and Mexico regarding the claim set up
! by the former. Some of our readers
skipped this article at the time of its
publication, and now that the decision
they ask for information. A few of
them want to know what portion of the
Pious Fund will be applied to this sec
ton of the country, which formerly
was Mexican territory, or if it will be
applied entirely to California, because
it was designated as the "Pious Fund
of California"
Answering such inquiries briefly, we
begin at The Hague. On the 14th of
October the international court of ar
bitration brought to an end it's con-
sideration of the Pious Fund case be-
tween the United States and Mexico,
giving unanimous verdict in favor
of this country. According to the tele-
gram sent from William L. Penfeld.
one of the United States counsel, to
the stSte department at Washington.
all our contentious involved in re
judicata are sustained by the tribunal
and the full amount of. the claim is
awarded" This means that Mexico
must pay S1,42O,6S2, Mexican currency.
and an annual sum forever of $43,051.
DR.. Matzen, president of the court, de-
clared that a revision of the sentence
was impossible unless new facts came
to light.
Now concerning the Pious Fund it.
self This disputed fund was estab-
lished by certain pious folk (hence the
name) of Spain and MEXICO back in
1897 for the support of Catholic mis-
sions among the Indians of California.
In 1867 the Jesuits who held the fund
were driven from the country and the
Spanish government assumed the trust,
which in turn devolved on Mexico when
that colony acquired independence.
When upper California was ceded to
this country Mexico ceased to pay to
the missions there the portion of the
income due them. The matter has been
in dispute since 1868, and at last was
referred by Mexico and the United
States to The Hague tribunal for ar
bitration
The award of the court has the ap-
pearance of being big lump of money,
and so it is when offered in Mexican
dollars. The value of Mexican coin,
however, is rated the same as the mar
ket value of silver bullion. and this
practically results in cutting the Pious
Fund award in two, making its value

in round numbers 100000 instead of
$1,4OO,OOO. 1t must not be forgotten,
too, that the legal expense of bringing
the matter to court has been consider
able, and this has been borne by Arch
bishop Riordan. When all these things
are counted up. it will be seen that
the Pious Fund is not such a windfall
as many have magnified it,
How will it be applied? Nobody just
yet can answer that question decisive
ly, unless it be Archbishop Riordan
himself. He is now in Rome, or at
least was there on Saturday last, where
he had an audience with the pope and
afterwards mingled with the Irish pill
grims who came to Rome to congratu-
late his holiness. The dispatches say
that Archbishop Riordan was surprised
at the thorough way in which the pom
tiff grasped the whole matter of the
Pious Fund, and with his complete
knowledge of affairs in this country
1t may happen that Bishop Seaman
will receive a small part of the fund in
order TO carry out missionary work
among the Indians of Nevada and
Utah. But regarding the detailed dis
position of the Pious Fund of Califor-
mia Bishop Seaman is in no position at
this time to impart knowledge.

SPARTANS AND BoERS.

Leonidas commanded the 800 Spartan
heroes who fell at Thermopylae, every
body knows that BY the way, who
was the noble lord that commanded
the myriad of Persians on that occa-
sion? The name has slipped our mem
Dry, but it is of no Importance. 1t is
enough to know there is pass called
Thermopylae, and Leonidas and his 300
compatriots held it to the death against
an army of Persian invaders and saved
their country. We only care to re-
member the noble act and the noble
men who performed 1t.
Three other heroes whose names will
go down the ages like that of Leon
idas-Botha, Dewet and Delarey-are
coming to America, not to be lionized
by society, but to beg aims for the peo-
pie whose rights they so gloriously de-
Tended while a ray of hope cheered
their gallant hearts. Will our Ameri-
can generals offer to these heroic men,
these giants of the South African war,
these models of knightly chivalry who
bend themselves to beg for the widows
and the orphans, and the manned and
the helpless, for the victims of Eng
lands Unsuitable greed-the same
courtesy which they will extend to
Lord Roberts? We fear not. 1t might
offend the susceptibilities of our Eng
fish friends; and, then, we gave Eng
land helping hand in destroying the
Boer republics. But what of it?
Doubtless the Persians who returned
from Thermopylae were dined and
wined, but the world only remembers
Leonidas and his 300. And so in ages
yet to come the Jouberts, the Cronjes,
the Bothas, the DewetS and the De-
lareys will be woven in garlands of
story and song, while that of Lord
Roberts won't amount to a circum-
stance.-John Finerty, in Chicago Cit

All Saints--AII Souls.

q ATURDAY, November 1, the church
y commentaries the feast of All
Saints. The day is holy day of
obligation
Each day of the year is set apart
to honor the memory of one or other
of the saints who devoted their lives
to the service of God. Like a nation
that wishes always to honor her dead
heroes, the church, in honoring her
children who practiced heroic virtues,
holds them up as objects of emulation.
But the number who have for the past
twenty centuries earned the celestial
crown is countless. The apostles were
followed by thousands of martyrs, con-
fessors and virgins who either laid
down their lives for the faith of Christ
or devoted them to its propagation.
That none may be excluded from the
honor which they earned. one day Is
set apart each year in which the good
works and virtues of all are recalled
to the memory of those who are trav-
cling the rugged path of life over
which the saints passed to reach the
glory of the kingdom. The first of No
vember is the day set apart for that
feast
Monday is the feast of All Souls. On
this day the church puts on it's raiment
of sorrow, so that in such garb the
mind may be quickened to pleading, to
prayer for the repose of departed
souls. All! what is a soul? The most
precious gift which God endowed man
because it lives eternally and was Gre
ated to praise and glorify God forever.
Where is that soul? Perhaps with its
maker. We know not Perhaps en-
during the fire that purges it of stain.
We know not. But this we do know,
that ''it is holy and wholesome
thought to pray for the dead that they
may be loosed of their sins So on
this day we unite in sending up petit
tons for our own kith and kin, the
while we are admonished that the souls
of others are appealing to us: Have
mercy on me, have mercy on me, at
least you my friends, for the hand of
the Lord hath touched me-"
He'll has been thwarted and its de-
mons, too; but the last farthing, jot
and little must anguish until cleansed
and saved so as by fire.

Mrs. Stanton and IngersoII.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON, the
we'll known woman suffragist,
died of old age the other dav.
She was the pioneer in this movement
for political equality of her sex, and
from youth to old age, in spite of re-
buff and ridicule, stuck TO this object
with the determination and persever-
ance of the courageous reformer. No
side issues satisfied this dauntless wo-
man as it did others, jealous, perhaps,
of the influence of her brain and
tongue; and although it is yet a ques-
ton if the object to which she devoted
her life be one that is beneficial in it's
application to home, to society and
government, no one will rob her of the
glory of its success, if successful, and
no one will spit on her grave if woman
suffrage is pronounced a thing untitled
to exercise and a demand be made for
it's repeal. After everything is said, the
verdict must be that Elizabeth Cady
Stanton was one of the most remark
able of American women.
How did she die? In the same way,

great agnostic, once upon time, stood
at the grave of a child and uttered
words which expressed the deep long
ing for life beyond the tomb, words
which gave the lie to his past ard
subsequent attacks upon Christian
truth. Susan B. Anthony says of her
friend: "The last time 1 saw Mrs
Stanton she talked about the other
side but had no faith that there was
another world. She always said this
was a beautiful world and she wanted
to stay here as long as possible"
1t is impossible to reconcile these
longings for a life beyond with the
pride of unbelief, as we see it in the
deaths of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Robert G. Ingersoll. We are inclined
to believe that the thoughts of both
dwelt upon the other side" before
final dissolution took away desire TO
live in a world more beautiful than
this; but pride and dread of the worlds
opinion sealed their lips forever.
Both led exemplary domestic lives;
neither ever lifted hand against the
material happiness of fellow creature.
Reluctant comes the belief that such
great souls went down to death
convinced that all of man ceases 10 be
when breath leaves his body.

world wanted to fight these countries
then let the rest of the world look out. .

England from a visit to this country.

land upon this nation struggling to

Bishop Keane of Cheyenne.

WITHIN THE WALLS of the, ole
| wv basilica at st. Paul, full many
a time has the great Archbishop
Ireland laid his hands in conservation
Upon the persons of stalwart priests
of the faith. These have gone out as
shepherds to establish dioceses upon
the vast prairies and in the valleys
| lying in the mountains of this west
ern country. Ten years of hardship
and labor, travelling at times upon the
old-fashioned stage, at other times as
the rancher and cowboy pursues his
journey, ten years have wrought great
things for the faith in the wilderness
But these trials have told severely
upon the health and strength of some
bishops forced to endure them. They
brought one, the late Bishop of Chey-
enne, to an early grave.
Another is to take the place of the
lamented Bishop Lehman, and soon he
will be in Cheyenne, the diocesan city.
On Tuesday last, in the old basilica at
st. Paul, Rt. Rev. James Keane of
Minneapolis was consecrated bishop, at
the hands of Archbishop Ireland. At
the same time Rt. Rev. John Starihe
of st. Paul was consecrated Bishop of
Lead, S. D.
We have not heard much of these
priests who have been consecrated
bishops. 1t is a long stsatch from the
mountains to the Twin Cities on the
Mississippi. But we do know that
Archbishop Ireland has had remark
able luck-if we may use that term
in molding the character of priests to
fit the higher dignities of the church.
The priests made bishops in the ca
thedral at st. Paul have turned out
to be not only good but great men in
the church. Then we like that name
of Keane. 1t has a ring to it that
comes only from a stalwart of the
faith, even as the other Keanes have
been and are now grand pillars of the
church.
The nSw bishop will find a noble
band of priests to greet him at Chey-
enne. In the person of one, Very Rev.
Hugh Cumniskey of Laramie, he will
find an invaluable assistant, a priest
who has spent quarter of a century
in missionary labor in Wyoming.
Through his zeal as administrator of
the diocese, of necessity assuming the
work which the last bishop through ill
ness was unable to perform, Father
Cummiskey bore upon his shoulders all
a.
Next week we hope to publish full
account of the ceremony which took
place at st. Paul on Tuesday. along
with the sermon preached by Bishop
O'Gorman.

FRANCE DISTURBED
BY LOSS OF CAPITAL

The government is obviously uneasy
over the emigration of French capital
as well as the drawing out of large
savings from the national postal banks,
writes a. Paris correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune. In one day recently
100000 was drawn out of the Catsse
d'Epargne, the postal savings bank, and
to meet the demand for the money the
minister of finances was obliged to sell
French rentes, a surprise on the mar
ket. which caused a fall in rentes and
brought about the action against the
Marquis de Dion and other national
lists, who have been advising people to
withdraw their savings.
The removal of French capital to
foreign countries has been so great
the minister of foreign affairs has is
sued a statement concerning the mat
ter. Thus it appears that the total
French capital placed abroad amounts
to nearly $4,000 600, 900. Of this sum
81, $50 900, 600 is placed in Europe. Rus
STA alone possesses $1,000, 100000 of
French capital, Spain $500, 100000, Aus
tria $500, 0O0,0 900. The rest of the emf
grated capital is distributed in the
following percentage: Asia, 8 per cent;
Africa, Il per cent; North America, 8
per cent; Central America, l per cent;
South America, per cent; Oceanica,
Is per cent.
Russia, while in possession of i'm
mense sums of French money, has not,
in reality, the enormous advantage
over other nations usually credited to
it. A peculiar feature is that, while
capital is to be found in plenty for
foreign investment, it is almost in
possible to find money for enterprises
of any kind at home, a situation the
dangers of which the cabinet fully
realizes.
To certain extent the religious agi-
tations and prosecutions are kept up
by the government to distract public
attention from the financial situation.
Jules Guesde, the great revolutionary
socialist leader, the rival of Jaures, re-
Gently characterized all the anti-cleri-
cal agitation as useless tomfoolery,"
tending to distract attention from far
more serious things. Economy must
be practiced if the budget is to be set
right, yet Maurice Rouvier, the minis
ter of finances, is meeting violent OPP
position in every reform he proposes.
Rouvier declares, however, that he will
limit the private distilling of alcohol,
a great source of revenue frauds, de-
spite the attacks made on him. The
measure which seeks to tax such pri-
vate distilling will have great effect
on the country vote, and disturbs the
deputies from the rural districts.

Up Against Science.

M ETHODISM is one thing and sci
Nl 4entifc research is an altogether
different thing. So thought Pro-
fessor w. o. Atwater of the Wes-
leyan university, Middleton, Conn,
when he began investigating and
demonstrating the food value of
alcohol. POUNDS! The idea of a
Methodist scientist finding any
thing of value in thing rejected as
evil by Methodist theology, is the
rankest of heresies! Out from the
mouths of preachers at a meeting in
New York came bitter denunciation of
the professor. Let us publish as wide
ly as possible the exposure of his in
accuracies," said Rev. w. P. Odell.
Let us proclaim from the housetops
that he does not represent the attitude
of the Methodist Episcopal church on
this question. Let us teach the whole
truth about this dangerous substance .
