The Duke of Tetuan.

If there had been no battle of the
Boyne there would have been no Duke
of Tetuan, and should not be called
upon to add these notes to the rather
cursory obituaries Of this Spanish
great noble and statesman who repre-
sented his country at the peace confer
ence Of The Hague, who was minister
of foreign affairs at Madrid at the
time of the war with the United
States, and who. although in appear
ance the typical Castilian grandee,
prided himself on his being an Irish
chieftain, and, according to his own
pretensions, Lord Donegal in the peer
age of Ireland, writes the Marquise
De Fontenoy in the Chicago Tribune.
The duke never lost sight of his
Irish ancestry. His forebears were
with King James II at the battle of
the Boyne, and on the defeat of that
last Roman Catholic sovereign of
Great Britain emigrated to Spain,
where they have ever since played a
conspicuous role in Spanish history.
The grandfather of the late duke was
one of the principal Spanish generals
during the peninsula war against Nap
oleon. His son, born on the island Of
Teneriffe, was also celebrated gen
eral, won the dukedom Of Tetuan by
his capture Of the Moorish city of
Tetuan in the 1859 war against Nor
occo and acquired colossal fortune
as governor general Of Cuba, it is
whispered, by favoring the slave
trade.
His son, whose death has just taken
place, was a particular fayorite of
Queen Christina, who never forgot
that it was he who had been selected
by the late Don Alfonso XII to pro-
ceed to Vienna as his ambassador ex-
traordinary, to marry her there by
proxy in behalf of the king, and to
bring her to Spain.
Speaking some time ago at dis
tribution of prizes to military cadets
at Madrid, he called attention to the
number of O'Neills, O'Connells, o.
Donnells, Mahers, ETC., among them,
and remarked: "We Irish in settling
Oh Spanish plains and Offering our
swords to Spain merely returned to
the ancient home Of our ancestors.
The Milesans originally went from
Spain to Ireland, and we have merely
come back to live among our cousins"
The duke is succeeded in his honors
by the elder of his two sons, who is
a cavalry captain. He also leaves two
daughters.

Says Father Cronin in the Buffalo
Union and Times: Should President
Loubet go to st. Paul, Minn., during
his proposed visit to the United States,
he might find himself bit embar-
raised to be so near and yet so far
from Archbishop Ireland. No man
did more than the forceful St. Paul
prelate to induce the Catholics of
France to accept the republic. In fact,
he was regarded as the special repre-
sentative of the Pope, while he thrill
led the French heart with his burning
eloquence. How did the French gov
ernment repay him? With marked
ingratitude. For when he pleaded in
behalf of the Passionists of Paris
that they might be spared from the
general eXtermination-his request
was refused. Those French infidel
rulers are ungrateful dogs.

landlords and tenants and is drafting
land bill which contemplates the
purchase of the land from the lords
by payment out of the national treas
ury, the same to be paid back by the
tenants in yearly instalments. 1t
would be rank folly for the govern
ment to Introduce any bill that would
not meet the expectations of the par
ties most interested. The landlords
expect the government to advance the
money to them before they transfer
the farms to the tenants, and the latter
would continue to agitate for sole pro-
prietorship as at present until the
question is disposed of to their salts
faction.
The collapse OF coercion is an evil
dence that the government will grap-
pie with the land question and settle
it to the best of it's ability in this ses-
sion of parliament. 1t is a great un-
dertaking. Much time may be con-
sumed i'll it's discussion, but the tory
party has Il big enough majority to
pass the Irish land bill, and we be-
lieve the Liberals will not offer any
opposition. A national convention of
leading Irishmen will be held in Dub
lin after the production of the land
bill in parliament to discuss it's fea-
lures, and the bill will not be accepted
as finality unless it is entirely salts
factory to the people.
All parties in Ireland will be bene-
fitted by an early settlement of the
land question, and the friends of Ire
land in America are deeply interested
III seeing the tenants become owners
of the land they cultivate. Not only
will the landlords and the tenants ben

government itself will gain by the
transaction. Peace will reign in Erin
and an era of good feeling will pre-

THE CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN.

Probably the most difficult task be-
fore the Church to-day is the solution
OF the problem, How shall we save
cur young men?" Everyone who has
at heart the interests of the country,
as we'll as the Church, must see the
necessity of adopting some uniform
measures for the reclaiming of the
vast army of young men who are IL
menace to the social order. Thesa
young men are not 4 church going
body, and as a consequence they neg
lcct all spiritual duties-forgetting
God, neglecting prayer, and giving
themselves up to that free and easy
manner of living which ends in de-
strOying all sense of responsibility to
amy authority, human or divine. Our
prisons are filled with young men, and
the ranks of the criminals are daily
recruited by constantly increasing
members of the young. To any one
WHO has had to deal with the criminal
class this is the most prominent and
the most appalling fact that is ever
before him. The condition exists-its
cause is disputed; the remedy must
be found soon, very soon, or we must
be prepared for any sort of revolution
that will attack the foundations of So
ciety, and make ruins of our churches,
says the Catholic Sentinel of Portland,
Ore.
The Catholic press mas of late been
discussing the situation, but so far no
new effort has been made to effect a
change. One thing sadly needed is
IN apostle of the young, one who can
sympathiZe with them and who can
reach the good that is hidden in their
warm young hearts, draw it out and
give them ambition for noble deeds
and uue lives. Such an apostle must
begin with the young boys Just free
from school, and beginning to take
their positions in the great world of
labor AS Il rule, these lads are good,
honest, and simple of heart, but they
soon imbibe the lessons of duplicity,
dishonesty and selfshness that are
taught them by the apostles of evil
who are often older than themselves
and often, again, of their own age and
class.
a suggestion that has not vet been
offered, and seemingly a practical one,
is within the reach of each priest, and
would work well right here in our
midst. Let each man of the congre-
CATION see how much good he can do
by looking after one young man-one
growing boy, without surfeitiny him
with lectures, advice and remonstran-
ccs; trying to win him to attend mass
on Sunday, to join some Catholic So
cicty, to read good literature, to fire.
quent the sacraments. and to be proud
of that faith which teaches him to
sanctify his labors by prayer, living
daily in the presence of God-the eX-
ample of such an apostle will be more
f;r-rcaching than all the sermons that
can be preached on the degeneracy of
our youth, for the simple reason that
the degenerate youths will not be pres
ent ut any of these sermons.

THE SPEECH OF KING EDWARD.

Though King Edward did not write
his speech from the throne OIL the

yet the Irish members cheered that
part of it relating to the land question.
In regard to the Irish measure, the
King said: 1T will, l trust, complete
