In the gay city of Belfast, where /,

of hundred fights from Sandy Row

"Bully for you, sir; pitch into the
Papishers."
Orangeism is now on it's last legs
1t has been for a hundred years foster
ed by the landlord and the ascendancy
party in Ireland as the best means of
keeping 1rishmen of different religions
asunder and holding themselves in
power.
Of late years the eyes of every in-
telligent Orangeman have been open
ing, and they have found that they
were being made fools of to serve
the personal interests Of people who
in their hearts despised them. Year
by year the ascendancy party were
being shorn Of their power, and as
they lost their power they lost, too,
all interest in Orangeism, which now
totters and will soon disappear.
His holiness the Pope is the big
bogie of all Orangemen; and their
most fervent prayer, which they love
to pray in public places and from the
housetops, is that the Pope may have
front seat and short poker in the
next world-only they put it in blunt
er terms.
Portadown, with Belfast, is one of
the greatest and last strongholds of
Orangeism. A Portadown man az
rested in London some time ago for
cursing the Pope and brought before
the magistrate, was being remonstrat-

said, "why you curse the Pope.
Though myself am not of his fol-

Il bad man that he deserves to be
cursed. Do you, in your heart, think
that he is so bad''
"Your HONOR" the Portadown man
replied in all earnestness, "you may
be right. 1t might happen, indeed,
that he is not the rascal they make
out; but let me tell you," he added,

Some months ago number Of
titled, would-be titled and could-not-be
titled people resolved to organize an
international exhibition, to gain added
glory for the first, titles for the sec
ond and draw money to the tills of the
third class. The members of the Gae-
lie league and of the Cumann-na- Gael
society, seeing that as unfortunately
the shops of Dublin were from years
end to years end a permanent inter-
national show, said that what Ireland
needs to-day is national exhibition.
The internationalists summoned a
public meeting in order to have the
men of Dublin ratify their proposal.
The men of Dublin went to this meet
ing, proposed an amendment asking
for a national exhibition and carried
it by an overwhelming majority.
Sir James Murphy, who, in the in
terest of the internationalists, presid-
ed, sent in great haste for a squad
of police to come forward with batons
and do their best to broaden the view
