Ireland took neither hand. nor part, nor
little finger in the coronation of King
Edward. No English king has ever ruled
over Ireland. Her resistance to o2pres-
sion is the longest and bravest in the
whole history of mankind.-Western

There are other ways for weak Deo-
pies to get even with strong ones on
whom they are unable to make war in
a civilized way. Egypt has. during the
past year, exported to Europe nearly 500
tons of Turkish cigarettes. Familiarity
known as coffin nails. Egypt is unable

able OF inflicting the smallest fraction Of
the harm done among Christian consum-
ers of her cigarette product. And be-
sides aVeng1ng her wrongs by such whole
sale distribution of coffin nails she de-
rives an enormous revenue from the traf-
fic.-Monitor.
The New York Tribune perpetrated a
vile fake" in saying that Admiral Tay-
Tor. United States navy, chief of the bu-
reau of navigation. had predicted a war
between this country and Germany in
1907. Admiral Taylor repudiates the story
which Mr. Whitelaw Reid's Daner had
given to the world. no doubt in order to
hasten his hoDed-for Anglo American al

Senator Hanna insists that labor has
right to organize and that its leaders
are honest men. 1t would be advisable
for the senator to keep out of the juris-
diction of Judge Jackson of West Vir-
ginia. The latter official might throw a
blanket Injunction over him.-Cnurch

Many specimens of ingenious malevO-
lence have been afforded in recent cable
efforts. but the palm for vileness must
be accorded a canard published last Sun
day, as emanating from Paris. 1t touches
at once the honor of the Sacred College
and the martYred Maid of Orleans. In re-
taliation for the attack on the religious
orders. it was declared. the college would
refuse the honor of canonizatiOn to Joan;
and one Of the ostensible reasons for the
refusal was doubt as to her claim to be
described as maid. If Internal malice
could go any farther than this. some new
forms of diabolism must be made known
to men. Satan himself would find it hard
to do more than insinuate that s9iteful
motives NAV enter into the question of
canonization and SWAY the Judgment of
the exalted judges AS for the reflection
upon the noble saviour of France they
axe worthy of the infamous English crew
who sent her to her doom-Standard and

The Rev. DIR. Stuntz, whose lot is at
present cast among the Filipinos is
making his missionary wants known to
his American brethren. Mr.. Stuntz is Il

tions for at least four families. He wants
Sailors home in Manila-the same to
have an Eight hundred-dollar soda wa

tended to keep the bibulous tars far away
from the hard drink joints He wants
the '''sinews" of var so that he may
preach TO the 10000 Americans who are in
Manila They need Christ. They need
him more than they do at home" He
wants all these things, ana if his wants
are supplied he will show the natives
what religion, pure and undefiled is. He
declares that the Filipino people has
never seen a real body of Christian be-
LEVERS, Icing the normal New Testament
kind of Christianity" Here is an appeal
that should find it's way to the charitable
Methodist heart. Mr. Stuntz has a sig
nificant name. The brethren should en-
able him to live up to it.-Catholic Tran
