THREE COUNTRIES CLAIM HIM.

In his learned review, at the Marian Congress,
in Rome, of the work Of the Franciscans in CON
nection with the assertion and defense OF the doc
trne of the Immaculate Conception, Father David
Fleming spoke of Duns Scotus as an Irishman. 1t
is generally admitted that John Scotus Erigena,
who resided chiefly at the court of Charles the
Bald, native of Ireland; but Duns Scotus is
claimed by England, Ireland and Scotland, says
the London Catholic Times. In the earlier cen
turtles Ireland undoubtedly was Scotia, and Scotus
aeant an Irishman; but this great Franciscan
schoolman, wherever born, appears to have been
mainly educated in England Duns Scotus
scholar whom any country might be proud to
claim. He became fellow of Merton college, Ok
ford, and greatly distinguished himself in theology,
logic, metaphysics, civil and canon law, nathemat
les, natural philosophy and astronomy. When
William Varron was removed to Paris, Duns SEQ
tus succeeded him in the chair of theology and his
projections were attended by crowds of auditors
During visit to Paris he made powerful defense
of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception in a
that he received the title of the Subtle Doctor"
He subsequently took up his residence in the
French capital and remained there till he was sent
by the general of the order to found Univer-

of the citizens and drawn into the city in tri-

THE PEABODY PLAGUE.

When. the day after election it was announced
that Colorado had rebuked Peabody, although Civ
ing Its electoral vote to Roosevelt, there was joy
throughout the state At once the pail was lifted
from industry that had stood still for months
= Miner and mine owner began to fraternize and to
adjust the difficulties aggravated through Peabody
and Peabodyism That odious swashbuckler, Gen
era Bell, delivered his last horse talk and hiked
to Mexico. 1t looked as if the past would be for
gotten in the verdict of peace which the people
acclaimed 1t looked so then, but now-Peabody
and Peabodyism!
The viii of the people is to be spurned and the
discredited governor to again rule-this time as
usurper. Behind him the corporations, the votes
of partisan legislators, the military to excite an
archy and shoot down resistance And worse than
all, supreme court to declare and approve the
iniquity. Nothing like it has taken place in this
country since the counting out of Tilden for presi-
dent and the counting in of Hayes. No honest
Republican applauds his party for the past act of
national usurpation. No honest Republican in
Colorado will trife with his conscience as between
Adams and Peabody.
At. this writing (Thursday) it appears that
the conspirators have everything in hand. The
legislative majority is in the mood for throwing
out every Democrat in that body whose election is
challenged by Republican opponents In order TO
show majority of votes for Peabody in the city
of Denver in spite of majority Of II 600 against
him, the returns from all Democratic wards were
thrown. out and all voters i'll those wards thereby
disfranchised- Upon the petition of Alva Adams,
the governor-eeot, the supreme court consented to
have the ballot boxes opened, recount made and
the good votes separatedfrom the fraudulent But
this act does not hinder the legislature from max
ing the customary canvass and declaring the re-
suit In day or two the farce will be over. 1t is

SARCASM DOES IT.

Not long ago (to be explicit it was the last an
nlversary of the Gunpowder PLOT some people in
England raised their voices against the old-time
ceremony of hunting for Papists in the parlia-
mentary buildings at London. This amusing fc-
ton was carried out by lackeys Ill the kings service
pretending TO find Catholics concealed under floors
and IN places that a cat could not find room.

law creating and observing the annual ceremony
OF hunting Papists and searching for gunpowder

ancient law is to be carried out Just as the English

punished. Everybody has reason to expect that he
will be received with open arms and probably dec

law, and Russia does not laugh absurdties out of

COMBES AND GALLICANISM.

The present position of the Disestablishment
Question i'll France is very curious NJ. BRAND,
who drew up the first projet de loi. finds that NJ.
Combes' bill is too hard on Protestants and Jews
and too easy in regard to the police regulations
against Catholics. NJ. Combes will do his best to
oblige NJ. BRAND on both these points that is, he
will try to temper the wind for the Jews and
Protestants, and will make it still more severe for
the disestablished Catholics, says the London
Catholic Times. He has conceded a little,
too to the committee Of the house con-
sidering the bill. In preamble TO be affixed to
the bill he agrees to the principle that under no
form will the state give any subvention for re-
ligion. He inserts clause in the bill claiming
for the state or the Commune the ownership of all
property held by the Church now but going back
to a time anterior to the Concordat He also per-
mits the union of ecclesiastical associations with
III the limits of diocese, and not as in his first
draft, of the department.. But this latter conces-
sion will effect little good to Catholics whose HER
archial necessities transcend the bounds of any
merely diocesan or departmental limits. NJ. Combes
aims at Gripping the legislative power of the
Church by splitting up the communities of the
faithful into isolated and insulated bodies of wor-
shippers He aims at restoring Gallicanism, if
possible.

The Irish correspondent of the Leader, San
Francisco, writing from Dublin, says:
strenuous efforts are being made by some
public-spirited private individuals to set some
Irish industrial enterprises on foot Two fac
tories have lately been started one in Dublin, for
the manufacture of backing, and the other at Gel
bridge County Kildare, for the manufacture of
brown paper. BotIr have been most successful. The
fruit industry is also being largely developed, and
both the export and home trade is increasing. Al
derman Cole who is concerned in the industry
himself, announces that last week 1000 tons of
Irish apples sent to South Africa for the first
time. While private individuals are doing their
best to push enterprises of this kind ahead the de-
partment of agriculture and industries is giving
but little practical aid its officials contenting
themselves with declaring that they giving the
matter their deep consideration" An instance of
this has just come to light. An Irishman from
Boston came over to ireland, with the intention of
starting boot and shoe factory, and applied for
advice to 'the department" He got scant encour-
agement, but he hopes the Irish public will rally
to his support 1t would be well if Irish American
capitalists would invest some of their cashin Irish
industries. They would get a good return for
their money, and they would be proving their pa
.triotism in practical form"

Mr., Thomas Lawson, the Boston millionaire
broker, is doing good service in stripping the dis
guse from multimionaire magnates whose I'M
scrupulous methods have accumulated for them
riches which make the fortunes of generation ago
appear extremely modest In their mad pursuit
of wealth these muiti-milionaires have stopped at
nothing. With scared conscences they have gone
straight to the goal of their desires. They have
allowed no moral considerations to stand between
them and the attempt to crafty their boundless
righteousness. Mr., Lawson, who speaks as an
insider draws the curtain aside and lets us see
these money-erazed scoundrels at work, What
may be Mr.. Lawson's motives in doing this, he
is engaged in good work in discrediting men who,
from moral point OF view, belong to the criminal
class. The ordinary criminal is harmless crea-
ture compared with them. as is made quite appar-
ent by the series of articles entitled "Frcnzied
Finance which have been appearing in Every
body's Magazine.

Among the most extraordinary Communications
ever received by the newspapers here and i'll Eu-
rope is the circular letter addressed by the queen
of Roumania to the press, entreatng that authors
should desist from their practice of submitting
their manuscripts to her for criticism and advice.
The queen declares in the letter that though
working from s o'clock in the morning until an
advanced hour of the night, find myself unable
to discharge all the tasks that devolve upon in
my capacity as sovereign, as philanthropist, and
as a woman of letters" 1t seems that since it has
become known that literary and poetic talent con-
stituted the surest road to Carmen Sylvas" favor
and to her good will, thousands of people who i'm
agine that they are particularly gifted authors
and as bards have been sending her their manu-
scripts, with entreaties that she would give them
the benefit of her advice and criticism, hoping
probably that she might be moved by their lucubra-
lions to invite them to Bucharest to form part of
her literary circle and of her intimate encourage,
satisfied even if they could obtain from her some
autograph acknowledgment and words of kindly
encouragement, so as to be able to pride them
selFes on being in correspondence with full
fedged queen.
