ENGLISH MARTIAL LAW.
A Lady Describes Its Operationssin Cape
Colony.

Under the headline, "Christlnas at
the Cape" Miss Hobhouse communi-
Gated to the Manchester Guardian,
early last January. the first INSTALL
ment of a series of pen pictures of
life in Cape Colony under martial
law. Miss Hobhouse it was who Wis.,
>ited South Africa last year to inquire
into THE real condition of the Boer
women and children held in Lord
Kitchener's detention camps. The re-
suit of her inquiries and personal OBJ
servations is already known, says the
Washington Post. 1t created a sensa-
ton in England and opened many eyes
, in this country. Miss Hobhouse is a
daughter of Lord Hobhouse, men,
Der Of the British Privy Council in
London. and could not, therefore, be
disposed of with contemptuous ges-
ture by Mr.. Ghamberlain's agents in
the House of Commons. England
listened to her, and believed. Now
Miss Hobllouse is writing for the
Manchester Guardian certain sketches
Of life in Cape Colony as it is under
martial law; and she is making it
quite clear that the regime is one Of
such petty and childish tyranny as
must inevitably fill the Cape popula-
ton with burning rage and hatred.
Her first letter begins thus:
"Will the calves be allowed to bel
low now, mother?' asked an anxious
small boy when he heard, with awe.
of martial law being proclaimed in
the Cape district, and ones impulse
, to laugh at the childish question is
checked by the uncomfortable recol-
lection that one has read of procla-
nation forbidding the growing Of
cocks under military law in certain
district, and still more by the long,
sad vista of thoughts which awake
at the idea of detailed regulations Of
the lives of people, and those people
our own fellow subjects"
Farther along Miss Hobhouse gives
the text of the 'cock-crowing" order:
"NoTICE.
August u, 1901.

continued cock growing by night must
cease. Residents of the town will
therefore please arrange not to have

A Merited Rebuke.

If our Catholic people are not what
they should be (and undoubtedly many
of them are not can it truthfully be
claimed that it is because the church
is not necessarily prodding them?
Those on the outside prod them, of
course, but those within the fold ar
raign them far more severely. Here is
singing charge a few days ago
brought against Catholic wealthy peo-
pie by Bishop Bilsborrow, of England,
addressing great meeting of the St.
Vincent de Paul society. Who will de-
clare it not deserved? Said his Lord
ship:
"You wealthy Catholicism least a
very large proportion of you-think
you can save your souls while follow
ing out epicurian ideas. Your motto
seems to be. Eat, drink and be merry,
and reduce religious duties to mini
num- You avoid contact with pow
erty, live in comfortable suburban
houses, and seek pleasures not only on
six days of the week but often on sew
en-. Do you know that in the big cities
there is flowing great tide of life,
and that there your presence is need
ed? The waves of religious indiffer-
ence are washing away the weak and
the young. What are you doing to
help them? Have you no practical
sympathy for them? The miseries of
the poor are torturing flesh and blood.
Why are you not rendering assistance?
Youths, who are as yet without ex-
perience in life, are surrounded by
temptations. Why have you not held
out to them the friendly hand which
they require? You are afraid your re-
spectability will suffer! Away with

your responsibility. What we want is
genuine Christianity"
The Mayor and the Prince.

Mayor Patrick A. Collins and Prince
Henry of Prussia were much together
during the latters visit to Boston. The
spectacle was one which supplies am
pie material for reflection. The immi-
grant Irish boy, whose youth was a
period of poverty, hard toll and scant
opportunities, was the official represen-
tative of that noble city of wealth and
culture, acting the part of host to the
brother of reigning monarch of one
of the haughtiest dynasties Of Europe,
says the Boston Herald. He performed
his duty with dignity and grace Of
which Boston has no occasion to be
ashamed. If his royal highness did
not recognize in him q true-hearted
and honorable gentleman, the fault
/ must be in himself. In the accidents
of birth and fortune, for which neither
deserves credit or blame, the son of an
imperial line has had what the world
reckons superior opportunities. Has
he done so much for himself as this
American citizen whose youth was
spent as mine worker and factory
operative in strange land? If Prince
Henry had begun life under circum-
stances similar to those which had en-
vironed Mayor Collins, would he have
risen SO handsomely superior to them7
Not in his native land, we may safely
reply. In this land he would have had
at least an equal opportunity.

pie of Cape Colony:

'H. SHUTE, Major, Commandant.
"Graaff Reinet, Aug. II, 1901"
"One can imagine" says Miss Hob
house, "the impossibility Of keeping
within the limits of such an order at
I a time when, shut off from the inter-
ests of the outer world, military OPP
erations' form the central, if not the
only, subject of peoples thoughts and
conversations. How easy to fall I'M

at is not wonderful that under
such rules chattering, high-spirited
girls and women, holding prominent
positions, get arrested, imprisoned or
deported from town to town. Free
speech is dead in Cape Colony. 1t has
followed the free press to the grave"
A Scotch newspaper, the Dumfries
and Galloway Standard and Adver-
tiser, comments on the condition of
affairs as revealed by Miss Hobhouse
with the utmost indignation, and in
the course of its remarks makes a
charge SO shocking as almost to for
bid belief.

Their dogs We're taught alike to run

The people lifted up their eyes to
see the castles of their native chiefs

centuries Swallowed youths from every

with sorrow, and the muffled wall Of

Under such stress of agony what ves-
tige of the race could have survived?
That dark tide would have dashed
to pieces the Stoutest hearts. There
was one power, and one alone, to save
the race. This power was the priest
hood. The priest. denied that educa-
ton at home that he had so freely
shared with others, goes abroad. He
is ordained. He turns his face to-
ward Ireland; but he is an outlaw;
1.-THE same price is offered for his head
and the head Of wolf. He could
scarcely approach'a town without see

dangling from a gibbet, or grinning
skull staring ut him from the spikes
of the city gate. AS said above, the
very dogs We're taught to track his
blood. But neither gives nor gibbets
will hold him back. He shares the
PEASANTS humble fare, teaches the
catcchism by the turf fire, and creeps
through the darkness to console the
dying. He, gathering the people into
a sheltered glen, with the rock-ledga
for an altar, the canopy of heaven for
roof and. the morning star for
sanctuary lamp. says mass. The chal-
ice in his hand is made of wood, but
the heart behind it is of purest gold.
Often, alas! the altar-stOne on which
he offered the blood of Christ was
Redeemed with his own. He bids his
flock to look up
',To land where souls are free,
Where tyrants faint not natures bliss"
The priest reminded his hearers
that the cross was the dearest keep
sake Christ had for his chosen
friends. He taught them to sanctify
their sufferings and cling closer to
God. He babe them sigh. not for the
fieshpots of guilty apostacy, but to
cling to the Ark of the living~Faith,
and lift their eyes to the bright lano-
of promise Under the desolate skies,
On the blOOd-stained sod, with the 81
lent stars as witnesses of the nuptial
rite in the dark night of penal woe,
the hearts of Ireland's priest and peo-
pie were welded in everlasting love.
And so the world owes to the Irish
priest an eternal debt of gratitude for
his self-sacrificing devotedness to the
interests of tile best elements OF CIV
INSTRUMENTATION and learning.
