Every family should have home.
Be it ever so humble, there is a COM
fort in having dwelling Of ones own.
Ihere is also security when no land
lord can come in every month for his
rent or order the tenant to move out,
says the Catholic Columbian. Every
family that let's a house pays it's value
IN rent about every ten years. A fam
lily that has been paying rent for thirty
years has paid in enough to own three
houses. There are plenty Of capitalists
who will sell houses on installment
payments and there are numerous
building and loan associations that
will help poor man to purchase his
home. Buy home. You'll never be
70 happy in rented house as in a
place of your own. The rent you pay
will make the purchase. At the end of
ten years, If you buy now, you'll own
II house and lot; If you don't buy now,
you'll have nothing to show for your
money. And the time will go anyhow.
Buy home.

A spark Of -Nothingism, or,
rather, burnt out cinder from the
long-extinct fires of political biogtry,-
has made it's appearance in Connecti-
cut, where certain superintendent of
schools named Forbes suspended"
fifteen of the pupils of the local high
school for the high crime and mis-
demeanor of daring to ''wear the
Green" on the 18th of March! The
historical research of this shallow
pedagogue must be of very limited
and imperfect scope, or he would have
been aware that the great Washington
himself, when fighting for the liberia
ton of the American colonies from the
yoke of England, did not disdain to
sport the Shamrock" on st. Patrick's
Day, but, on the contrary, in special
order of the day announced a holiday
with an extra issue of rations for the
entire patriot army then encamped at
Cambridge in acknowledgements of the
services of the Irish soldiers of Free
dom and the publicly proclaimed SYM
pathy of the Irish people at home with
the cause for which the Americans
were then struggling against heavy
odds, says the Irish-American. Neither
did the Father of His Country, at the
same time refuse to accept the action
of the Irish DatriOtS of PHILADELPHIA Inv
which he was made an adopted Son
of Ireland by the men who contributed
a quarter of a million of dollars for
the maintenance of the fight for free
dom at crisis when funds We're most
sorely needed. The Connecticut peda-
gogue should make himself familiar
with these little incidents in connec-
ton with the anniversary. The knowl-
edge may make him wiser if not a
better man.

British officials continue to penalize
the Gaelic tongue in Ireland. The Lord
Chancellor has removed from the bench
an Irish magistrate, McDonagh Ma
hony of Cohirciveen, because he had
signed warrants in Irish, says the
San Francisco Leader. Mr.. Mahony, q
popular Catholic gentleman, resides in
a district where Irish is the language
of daily intercourse and probably acted
from motives of public interest when
he used that language in discharge of
an official duty. But an old statute
has been resurrected providing for the
use of English in legal documents, and
the Gaelic-loving magistrate has been
deprived of his commission. OF course
it is only in Ireland that such piece
of petty tyranny is possible. 1t is !,
common practice in Wales to fill and
sign warrants and other legal papers
in the native language. and no English
Lord Chancellor has had the temerity
to Interfere. McDonagh Mahony has
lost no honor by the punishment visit
ed on him, and will win the esteem of
all 1rishmen for his loyalty to his
mother tongue.

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

Never before during this generation
has there been greater need of a
strong Democratic party than ut the
present time. There are thousands of
Republicans in every state in the
country who desire the opportunity to
rebuke their party, for its arrogance
and corruption. For the good of the
country Il strong opposition party is
necessary. Never was that necessity
greater than ut the present time. The
Republican party has actually run riot
with itself. Unhanpered by IL strong
and vigilant foe the worst elements in
the Republican party have taken full
advantage Of the opportunity to loot
and graft. Corruption is not parti.
san. Republicans are no more likely
to be corrupt than other citizens so far
as the rank and file are concerned.
But it happens that most all the
greedy business interests of the coun-
try are connected with the Republican
party. They must be in order to Sc
cure the special privileges which they
are always looking for. This corrupt
spirit pervades every department of
public life. With united Democratic
party under competent leadership it
certainly would not be difficult task
to administer a much needed rebuke to
the party in power The people are
ready to do the work but they must
have the opportunity. Democratic
leaders need not be in quandry for
issues. The issue is present and press
ing. No other issue than turn the
rascals out" is needed. 1t would not
require a great deal of argument or
proof to convince the public of the real
ity of that issue. United States SEN
ators and representatives are included
in the number of those indicted and
convicted of crime. There is not n
department Of the government which
has not been touched by the RAMPANT

hope that NJ. Combes may soon be re-
tired from the premiership, says the
New Century. At this distance it is
difficult for us to understand fully the
political conditions in that country.
With people largely Catholic, it has yet
permitted - even encouraged - the
Combes government to continue its I'M
holy work. The most drastic measure
yet proposed, NJ. Combes, so we are
told, has hopes of forcing through the
Assembly by Easter time. Let us hope
he may be disappointed-fo his pet
scheme is an Ubiquitous bill suppressing
all forms of religious and congregations
al teaching. How strange it sounds to
Catholic ears to be told that in Cath
Ollie country, the government seems de-
termined to prosecute the Catholic
Church! And we still talk of ''Catholic
France.'

Home HospitaIity.

Hospitality in the home possesses
such a charm when dispensed in the
right spirit that it becomes easily one
of the chief features Of home life. 10
keep always in the mood for meeting
cheerfully any guest who may drop in
unexpectedly, as we'll as to receive
those specially invited-this is the Sc
cret of hospitality. 1t is simple
enough to extend the hand of welcome
when every guest has been arranged
for, when the house is in perfect order
and the menu prepared ready to serve.
But it is when the friend unlimited for
special occasion happens in at meal
time, more than likely some one the
good man of the house brings home
to dinner without consulting his wife
as to the convenience of the act, that
the real spirit of the mistress Of the
house is put to the test. The day may
have been a particularly harrassing
one, things may have "gone wrong"
every hour. as they sometimes seem
to do wherever the fault may lie
need not here be conjectured-the din
ncr may be practically Il failure, the
fire in the furnace low. the cook cross
and things at SKIES and sevens CELL
orally. If under such circumstances
the wife rises to the occasion or above
ii rather. and meets and greets the
guest with a hearty welcome, laughs
away any seeming Inconvenience and
places before him such as she has
without elaborate and embarrassing
apologies, she has the true hospitality
spirit. which is a quality as rare as it
is delightful, and one we'll worth cu.-
tivating.

are the Irish in Ireland. They are as
determined to-day as the Irish at home
that England shall yield to the just de.
mands of Ireland. These things are
having an effect upon the English peo-
pie and upon their statesmen and the
inevitable result will be home rule.
mat result is close at hand. The Boer
war was an object lesson to England.
livery attempt to form a friendly al
lance with this country affords another
object lesson of the bitter and relent-
less hatred Of the Irish for England.
The only sane thing, the only just thing
for England is to grant home rule and
that she will do in the near future.
Then we believe that the Irish will
be able to turn their faces toward the
future and look for return of some
of the departed glories for which for
seven hundred years they have been
looking into the past.

The cotton market went to pieces
last week, and the uncrowned king of
cotton, Daniel j. Sully, is wreck on
the shores Of chance, says the Memphis
Catholic Journal. MIR. Sully was hailed
by many as a friend Of the South be-
cause he bulled the cotton market and
made high values for cotton. Unre;l-
sonable and unjust values for cotton
out Of the regular season for purchas-
Ing spot" cotton does not help the
South. In a general way it is de-
moralizing and encourages men ell.
gagged in legitimate business to take a
chance at luck" which invariably
ends in misfortune. We do not re,
joice in any mans downfall, but we
are not sorry for Sully's fate or for
the fate Of any gambler. Gambling in
the shape of futures" and inflated
Stock is one of the curses Of the pres.
ent age.

replaced by the broader American
Catholic religion" Catholics are igno-

While Catholic France is passing
laws eXpclling the Catholic religious
orders, Lutheran Germany has recently
abrogated Article III of the German
law which banisled the Jesuits from
that country. France will not long be
able to maintain her position as pro-
tectOr of the Catholic orders in the
East. The position that the orders are
good enough for missionaries to extend
religion and French influence in the
colonies and in foreign lands but UNI
tit to teach in France cannot easily
be understood. 1t looks as though
France is about to lose the place which
for twelve hundred years has been
hers.

WHY INSTRUCT pELEGA1Es7

Inc efforts or certain Democrats in
this city in striving to aid move
ment in this state to secure the Mime
sofa delegation to st. Louis for Hearst
cannot be otherwise regarded than as
Il mischievous plan to dictate to Demo-
cratic states whom they shall nomi-
nate for President. If the Democrats
of Minnesota are politically wise or
even half way just they will refuse
to send an instructed delegation to st.
Louis. Why should Minnesota Demo-
Gratis who cast in 1900 but little over
100000 votes seek to dictate to New
York which cast almost 100000 for
Bryan? There is no more chance of
carrying Minnesota for a Democrat
than there is of carrying Mississippi
for a Republican. Are not the 100000
Democrats who voted for Bryan in
New York and who have chance of
carrying that state for Il Democrat
next fall entitled to little more con-
sideration than the 100000 Minnesota
Democrats? So far as the conventions
for the selection of delegates to the
state convention of New York have
been held they have decided that they
want Judge Parker for the nominee.
This preference cannot he ascribed to
state pride alone, for Mr.. Hearst, the
only active candidate for the nomina-
ton is also Il resident of New York.
lct not Il single delegate in favor OF
Hearst has been elected in that state.
In view of the situation thus disclosed
would it not be rash politics and the
assumption of Il good deal of import
".re on the part of the Democrats of
this state to instruct the Minnesota
delegation for Hearst Il citizen of New
York. whom the Democrats of that
state have declared against? If Mr..
Hearst were Il citizen of this state
there might be tile excuse of favorite
son to offer. His own state. the larg-
est in the Union and one which con-
t;lins about eight times us many Demc.
Gratis as Minnesota, has refused TO
elect single delegate for him up to
date. 1t will not do to say that these
New York Democrats are reOrganiZerS;
100000 of them voted for Bryan. and if
these New York Bryan Democrats do
not regard Mr.. Hearst a citizen of
New York as the proper man for the
convention of that state to instruct its
delegation for, should Minnesota Demo-
Gratis do so? No state that is surely
Republican should instruct it's deleg:,-
ton to st. Louis. Minnesota should
he in Il position at the national CON
vention to render the very best
service of which it is capable to the
NATIONAL party. We cannot help the
national ticket on election day. We
should not by using the strength which
we have in the national convention
help to select man who is or may
be diStasteful to states that will or
may cast their electoral votes for the
Democratic nominee. Minnesota
ought not to instruct for anybody.
We cannot escape the conviction that
those Democrats who are at this time
actively engaged in working for an
instructed delegation are doing great
injustice to the party in this state and
Il very much greater injustice to the
national party. The pertinent question
is why do they do so? Let conjecture
answer.

performances on the bag pipe and Miss
Bakers "Highland Fling" and Sailors
Hornpipe" dances were greatly ap-
preciated. The piano solos rendered by
Misses Purdy, Huard and Foley met
with hearty approval. Under the aus
pieces of the A. o. H. and Ladies' Aux
iliary, great credit is due them for
success achieved.
The trend of Democratic opinion
seemse to be sweeping OH irresistibly in
favor of Judge Alton B. Parker of New
York for president, and his nomination
at the st. Louis convention looks like
a certainty. Already enough county
conventions in New York state have
declared for him to insure him the solid
vote of the IS delegates from the
Empire State. Many of the Southern
states are following the lead of New
York and in the middle west and north
west everything seems to point to him
as the logical candidate. In Mime
sofa T.. A. Rosing and T. d. O'Brien
have recently declared for him, while
Congressman Lind is also said to favor
his nomination. 1t is now nearly four
months since The Irish Standard de-
clared editorially for Judge Parker and
it did so after taking into considera-
ton the qualifications of the man and
the welfare of the great party whose
standard-bearer he seems destined to
be. 1t is our firm belief that Alton B.
Parker will be the next president of the
United States.
