AN AMERICAN VIEW.

There is an interesting article in the
current number of Harper's Weekly,
from the pen of Melville Il. Stone, gen-
eral manager Of the Associated Press,
in reference to the view which the
Russians had prior to the opening Of
hostilities. Mr.. Stone was in st. Pc
tersburg during the days Immediately
preceding the commencement of the
war. He says that the Russians did
not expect war and were wholly I'M
prepared for it. He says further that
the car did not want war, but was
honestly committed to the cause Of
universal peace. 1t was only after
war was actually commenced that the
Russians set about to make prepara-
tons, and this they are doing in the
leisurely way characteristic of the Rus
sian temperament There is 10 great
excitement, no rush, but they are
quietly preparing for long war. He
says there is a great deal of misin-
formation in this country, due largely
to the British press, about the Russian
means of communication between st.
Petersburg and the Far East.
'These stories which are appearing
in the English and American press
about the inefficiency of the TRANSIT
berian railway ought to be discounted

WILLIAM R. GRACE.

William Il. Grace, twice MAYOR of
New York, who died in that city last
Monday, was one OF the most distin
guishcd citizens of the country. He
was born and raised in Ireland He
came to this country when young. but
soon set out for South America. There
he became interested in the shipping
business and soon was at the head of
IL trim with branch offices in South
America, England and the United
States. He first came prominently be.
fore the people in this country in 1880
in connection with the Irish famine re-
lief fund. At that time the United
States government sent the Consela-
ton, with Commander Potter, to New
York to be loaded with the stores con-
tributed for the relief of the Irish peo-
pie. MIR. Grace contributed one-quar-
ter Of the cargo and superintendent the
loading of the steamship. He was
elected Mayor of New York in 1880,
and again in 1884, both times as an
independent Democrat. At the first
election lie had the support of Tam
many, but that organization, then I'M
der the leadership of John Kelly, soon
learned that they could not use Mr..
Grace, and they fought him ever at
forwards. For the last twenty-five
years he has been one of the most in
tiuential Democrats in the state of
New York. AS mayor of the great city
he brought to the office the thorough
business methods which had brought
success in his private business, and lie
was one Of the best mayors the city
ever had He was always interested
in the affairs of his native land and
never missed an opportunity to aid his
fellow-countrymen. He was faithful
and hgh-minded Catholic and a large
contributor to Catholic institutions.
He was elected to public office at a
time when few Irish Catholics were
elected to high office in this country.
He and Senator Herman of his own
state were among the first to be elect
ed to important offices. Herman be-
came United States senator from New
York. 1t is important to remember in
this connection that both left records
of which their friends should be proud
William X. Grace lived to see the bitter
enmities of the early eighties disappear
as to him, but John Kelly died, the
bitter opponent of Grace.

What scene it must have been in
the House of Commons the other day
when John Redmond led his forces to
victory over the Balfour government!
No wonder the eXultant Irish members
shouted themselves hoarse and rejoiced
in the defeat OF their opponents, says
the New Century. While the Balfour
Ministry may be able to hold power,
the Irish Parliamentary party by skill
full tactics, such as have been recently
pursued, may force it to do some meas
ure of long delayed justice for Ireland.
For the English Government to refuse
even the poor privilege of having
Gaelic taught in the Irish schools is
indefensible in these enlightened DAYS
OF the twentieth century. And the teru-
porizing-of worse-with the question
of the Catholic University demanded
by the people OF Ireland, is simply
despicable.

ment voting together upon all ques-
tons without any especial regard to
the merits Of the question under con-
sideration, is apparent. No English
party that fails to get Il clear majority
of the members of over both the Irish
and opposition party can stand with
out yielding to Irish demands. Should
an election be held shortly upon the
question Of England's fiscal policy, it
is probable that the Liberals would
be i'll Il majority over the Unionists,
but in il minority if the Irish men,
bers should join the Unionists. Inas-
much us many of the Liberals who
followed Gladstone are now opposed to
home rule, such as Roseberry, Asuuith
and Grey, it is altogether improbable
that any Liberal government will be
able to stand for any length of time,
and the same will be equally true of
future Conservative governments. 1t
seems, therefore, that the Irish party
is now in that position which Parnell
wished it to attain. 1t holds the bal.
;lnce of power and absolutely refuses
to affiliate with either English party.
1T is deserving of the support of every
freshman and every Irish sympatlizer.
No matter what have been the differ
ences Of tile past, it ought to be ap-
parent that if ireland is tn cnc.ood ~

about by its leaders in Parliament
England can no longer withstand Irish
demands, because those demands now
have the approval of the world. Not
only does she feel the direct pressure
brought to bear from Ireland, but in
directly the Irish question is forced up
On her from all parts of the world.

A WELL DISCIPLINED PARTY.

Every friend of Ireland should view
with great pride and satisfaction the
present condition of the Irish party in
Parliament. They are a living refuta.
ton of the old English argument to
the effect that the Irish are incapable
Of self-government. There is not bet
ter organized and disciplined party in
any legislative body in the world than
is the present Irish Parliamentary
party under the leadership of John
Redmond. And they will compare
very favorably in ability to the very
ablest Legislators of England and the
United States. Indeed, it is very much
to be doubted whether either of the
present English parties in Parliament
contains as many able men as there
are in that compact body of Irishmen,
less than ninety in number. Many
which has attended Ireland in her de-
mands for self-government as due to
Irish factionalism. There has been
difference Of opinion among Irishmen
as to methods and means to be pur-
sued and adopted, and whenever the
Irish have differed among themselves
they have proclaimed that difference
with all the vehemence and force of
the Irish character, consequently Irish
factonaism has been more apparent
than the real facts warranted. There
is ut this time, however, unanimity of
opinion on the part OF the Irish peo-
pie OH the question of home rule. On
all questions which in the relnotest
particular affect this one main ques-
ton, the Irish Nationalists in Pnrlia-
ment vote as one man. Nothing can
separate them from their object. Their
likes or dislikes for English leaders
make no difference. One day they
vote with BalfOur, whom not many
years ago all Ireland called Bloody
Balfour," and with reason; another
day and they are found dividing on
the same side of the house with John
Morley, their staunch English friend
This sort of thing is causing the Eng
fish leaders much trouble. They have
some reason for referring to the Irish
as those terrible Irish," or the "ir-
repressible Irish" The time is at
hand when the Irish will hold the bal
ance of power. In fact, on a straight
vote involving any change in the fiscal
policy Of Great Britain, the Irish
would undoubtedly now be found to
be the determining factor. But the
Irish have no interest in the tariff.
They would throw their power against
the party in power simply to force IL
dissolution of Parliament and new
election. They would so vote, not be-
cause necessarily they are opposed to
protection, but because the present
government has failed to meet their
demands as to Catholic education and
are known to be opposed to home rule.
In other words, every vote of the
Irish members is given with the sole
view of it's effect upon the question
of Irish f-government. The danger
of having such large body in Parlia.

How often the Catholic paper is in

How often the Catholic paper is in
jured, unintentionally OF otherwise, by
those who ought to have it first in
their thoughts so far as journalism
goes. What kind of spirit is that
shown by the Catholic layman who
puts himself out of the way to give an
important piece of news to the secular
daily paper, without any recognition
ly stands for him OF his religion in the
community in which he may reside?
Is it not common occurrence? Do
not all Catholic papers suffer alike
from this injustice? Are there not
members of the clergy, also, who are
forgetful of their duty in this respect
to the Catholic journal? OF course,
the Catholic paper is handicapped
when compared with the daily papers,
so far as the employment of reporters
and newsgatherers go. It's a luxury
it cannot afford, but it does it's best
and it cannot be said it is entirely lack
ing in this regard. Not one of them
but what would do better if they We're
accorded proper treatment Did you
ever stop to think Of this, you who are
interested? The Catholic paper wants
an the news of it's home parishes and
takes pleasure in giving publication to
lie same. When matters of this ma
ture are to be given out, surely it is the
Catholic paper that should have your
first thought and preference and but
little extra effort and time need be
wasted in giving it this very proper
consideration. 1t is easy to get the
news second-handed, but it is entitled
to something better. Don't you think
so?

for this reason: First, it is probably
to the interests Of the British press to
make their facilities appear as badly
as they may, but apart from any de-
sign on their part, it must be borne in
mind there is a vast difference be-
The Englishman, in building Il rail
road, makes, at the beginning, Il per-
manent way or roadbed, for all time.
No road will be projected by him until
he is ready to so ahead and build a
finished railway, equipped in every de-
tail. While in the United States the
method of building il railroad is to
lay the road in manner suited to
present needs and to improve it steadi-
ly as the years go on. 1t was in this
manner that the Trans-Siberan rail
way was begun, and it is probably as
good Il system to-day as the average
railway, say, west of Omaha in your
country" Prince Khilkoff said that
at that time twenty trains We're leav-
ing every day laden with provisions
and troops headed for the Far East.
While the Russians We're Inundated
by the first attack, yet they did not feel
that any great loss had come to them
1t seems that there was Il common eX-
pectation in Russia that her Far
Eastern fleet would be lost in case of
war, and that the japanese would land
large forces and might force the Rus
slams back to Hardin. Mr. Stone
says: Two weeks before the war it
was Il common feeling in Russia and
Il most universal expression in official
circles in st. Petersburg, in speculat-
ing upon the possibility of war, that
Russia would lose her Far Eastern
squadron; and it was not impossible
that the Japanese troops might land
and force them back to Hardin, or
even out of A1anchuria into Siberia
But they felt that each step Japan
takes would bring her farther away
from her base of supplies, while Rus
STA would be nearer her own base, and
i'll the end that this must result in
Japans defeat
1t seems very plain that Russia did
not expect war, that she did all that
she could do without actually getting
out of Manchuria to prevent war, and
that she was not prepared for war. 1t
is also apparent that she is now pre-
pairing for the war after it has been
actually commenced. She is preparing
i'll her own leisurely way, but prepar-
ing thoroughly for long war. If
Japan cannot win signal successes OH
land at this time there is little hope
for her after Russia gets her troops
in position. Russia is playing her old
game. She is steadily falling back be-
fore the Japanese troops wherever
that is necessary, in order to prevent
l; general engagement. She will not
fight until everything is ready. The
failure of Japan to strike heavy and
quick blows OH land is making the
Russian task of mobilization of troops
comparatively easy. There can be but
little doubt that when she is ready
she will more than repay Japan for
the early reverses to Russian arms.

should not be permitted to continue.

eide a case of conscience, says the
Western Waterman. A man who
has all his life been a consistent be-
lever, writes to say that his faith is
shaken by the assaults made upon it,
and asks how he can strengthen his
belief. A similar state of mind was re-
yealed by man in our Lords time,
who asked the Saviour for a favor
which was granted on condition of
faith, and who said: Il believe, Lord;
help Thou my unbelief." The 'Inde-

and every other man carried a Rus

Several county conventions have been

not be well for sane Democrats in
states that never go Democratic to re-
