Brighter Days For ireland.

1.-THE conservatives in England have
once more stolen the clothes. OF th5
liberals. The government recently
introduced an Irish land purchase bill
which goes farther than anything ever
proposed by Gladstone If carried into
effect, it will give the tenants in the
agricultural districts the right to pur-
chase their holdings on very easy terms
of payment, and it viii also give the
come out of the pockets of the tax
payers at large. The cost will be enor-
mous-about $500, 100000 is the estimate
but that is only half the sum cheer
fully spent in wiping the Boer repub-
lies out of existence. A final settlement
of the Irish question would be cheap at
the price, and the leaders of public
opinion in England have at last real
lied that fact
Nothing can ever compensate the
Irish race for the wrongs endured at
the hands of England. but it is at least
satisfactory to know that the oppres-
sors have at last made a virtual con-.
fession of their guilt and a tardy effort
at reparation. Even if this bill does
not pass, or is found TO be i'll suited for
the purpose, it forms a great victory
for the cause Of the n-trodden
peasantry of ireland. Both parties in
Great Britain are now committed to
do something for Ireland, and never
again will a prominent leader on either
side of the house attempt to deny that
wrongs do exist which demand rem
edies of the most sweeping character
Sooner or later the land question win
be settled on a practical working basis.
The Irish people viii have 10 buy back
the lands taken from their ancestors
without compensation. Then the time
will have come to let the dead past |
bury its dead, and to make the best of
a situation which cannot fail to i'm
prove as the years roll by.
This land bill viii doubtless be fol-
lowed by one giving tc Ireland large
of government, in fact,
the government is pledged to such a
policy. independence with regard to
local affairs, such as is enjoyed by the
states of the Union in relation to the
federal government of the United
States, is the utmost that Ireland can
expect as long as tNe British empire

PERFECT TRUST.

Little sad face, come close. so close to
mine.
See through these eyes the sweetness
of the day.
Feel how the sunbeams dance in sum-
mers wine,
Hold fast my hands and let our pulse
combine,
And with my steps dance down the happy
For youth is love. and love is light
and gay.
Little sad face.
Little sad heart, come close, so close to
And know the utmost limits of the di-
A joy which can encompass grief like
Hide Sin in thy breast, and let faint pulses
For youth yffn is love, and love is great and
Little sad heart.

great, it would be better to stay awav
from theatres which allow such per

ond reading of the Church Discipline
Gates that there is stormy time
ahead for the Church of England. The
ritualism against which the bill is di-
rected is an outgrowth of the most
passionate and the most ineradicable
conviction. Many, if not most, of the
extreme ritualistic clergy whom it
would subject to the penalty of loss
of their livings in the event of the con-
tinuance of their practices are of the
spirit of martyrs. and no force of law
will be able to restrain them from the
most daring obedience to their convic-
tons.

''Vox Urbis." the special correspond
ent at Rome of the New York Free
mans Journal gives a very sensa-
tional account Of the state of affairs
within the Church in France. The let
is republished in another column and
speaks for itself. To. those living in
America, where the growth of the
Church is healthy and rapid, without
any aid whatever from any federal,
state or municipal government, it
would seem that any connection with
an impious and atheistic government,
such as rules France, is fraught with
perils to the moral and spiritual well
fare Of both clergy and laity alto
gether out of proportion to any benefit
derived from the government subsi-
dies paid to the secular clergy. Bet

hearty welcome from all classes and

s. Catholic newspaper in a parish is a
perpetual mission. Let all who truly and
from their souls desire that religion and
society defended by human intellect and
literature should flourish, strive by their
lberality to guard and protect the
Catholic press, and let every one in pro-
his money and influence for to those
who devote themselves to the Catholic
press we ought by all means to bring
helps of this kind. without which their
industry will either have no results OF
uncertain and miserable ones.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY ITEMS.

Thomas Aquinas, patron of the faculty
of philosophy. was observed as a hol-
iday at the university. Solemn High
Mass was celebrated at $3.50 o'clock
in the Caldwell chapel in the pres
ence of the professors and students
OF the university and of the affiliated
colleges. Very Rev. Danied P. Duffy,
S. S., president of st. Austin's college,
was celebrant; Rev. H. ]. Star, C. S.
p, deacon; Rev. e. ]. Mullaly, C. S.

st. Thomas college The sermon was
preached by Rev. John Darien Ma
guire, Phi. D., assistant professor of
Latin. He chose for his subject, Let
tiers in Their Relation to Philosophy"
and said in part:
"A fitting relation ought to ex-
list in the relation between thought and
expression. The thought ought to be
noble, and the language which voices
it ought to be worthy of the weight
it carries. A defect on either side of
the relation is both an artistic want
and is destructive of the truth. A
naeagre or inadequate sentence is I'M
able to deliver the full proportions of
q beautiful thought. The equation
must be absolute or there is none. This
union, however, of worthy thoughts
and perfect expression is difficult to
find. 1t was realized best in the Bible.
In the Old Testament we have the
deepest truths that the human mind
can know, and at the same time we
have the highest form of letters and
the most perfect example of the use
of words, because the scope of the Old
testament was to make known the
Divine will to all men. So. too fbe
New Testament was written with. The
view OF reaching the popular mind. and
as a consequence its content forms The

How the Little Dealer Did the Trust

(From the Tobacco War in Leslie S
Monthly for March)
When the cigar store combination first
began to open stores in New York. a
dealer in one of the downtown cross
streets was approached and asked to set
a figure on his business. He did so and
at twice the actual value of his estab-
1shment, The prospective purchaser set
one OF his agents to watch the daily re-
celpts OF the mans store for week. The
dealer had prepared for this Very quiet
~ ne had gone around among, his friends
and arranged with them to buy boxes of
cigars and jars of tobacco, by the dozen
or case, purchases to be returHed at the
end OF the week, and a bonus given to the
purchaser for his trouble. Naturally. the
representative of the United Cigar Stores
company was much impressed by the
stream of purchasers who left the avenue
to buy of their favorite dealer. and the
sale was effected at the end of the week
at the dealers own figure. For a time
the new owners could not understand
why business fell off so astonishinglv
after they had taken possession, but
when. couple of months went by with
no Improvement, the true situation
dawned upon them and they closed up
the shop.
