"A splendid reply to common OBJ
lection against separate schools APP
pears in paper on The Rights of
Minorities," read by the Rev. Father
meeting of Catholic Truth Society.
Father Rickaby said: 1T is not with
in my province, nor within my pur-
pose either, to deal with the rule con-
tinually quoted against us, that pub
lie money involves public control.
Public money. as our opponents are
always telling us, is given to secular
education. We too, undertake to pro-
vide secular education: and for all
the details of that secular education
for which alone public money is given,
we challenge the most unlimited pub
lie control. We do not take away
from education, but we add. We add
one whole subject religious Catholic
education; and that subject we claim
TO have taught in our own way not
in other mems way who do not UNI
derstand it. Our education is secular
but not secularist; that is to say, ii
is not exclusive of those three articles
of the Christian creed, God. Jesus
Christ. and the life of the world tc
come. We contend that our children
will not grow up less worthy and less
efficient citizens of this world for be-
ing trained over and above that in the
duties of a citizenship that is In
heaven. l am aware that NJ. Combes
and the Grand Orient Lodge think
otherwise. But are they really Lib
eral? Are they a model for English
politicians?"

The following editorial note appeared
in a recent issue Of the Church of Ire
land Gazette. an able Protestant jour-
nal: The Roman Catholic Bishop of
Meath is about to resign his Office ow-
ing to increasing i'll health. In let
ter of admirable expression and much
pathos he thanks those members of
his flock who have offered him their
sympathy. My days of labor says DR..
Gaffney, are numbered, and the only
hope l can entertain is that God may
leave me little sight to help me to
spend the weary hours with profit
The dignified sadness of language like
this must touch the general heart of
men apart from all questions of creed
or politics. In paying tribute to the
fidelity and affection of his flock. DIR.
Gaffney says: Outside it's fold there
are many noble spirits to whose genu-
inc worth l bear glad testimony. A
spirit of harmony prevails on all sides
ahc loiefatlon not known IN tne past.
We are glad to be able to indorse in a
large measure, these encouraging words
in politics and in social affairs DR..
Gaffney has displayed during his term
of Office a genuine desire for friendli-
ness and good feeling among all classes
in the district, and in this respect the
conditions of life in Meath are better
than in the majority Of Irish counties.
Irish churchmen in Meath and else

ments were made that ballot boxes were
burned by Tammany heelers. Investi-
cation showed nothing of the kind.
Next reports were sent out that repeat
ers We're brought from New Jersey,
Connecticut and other states and paid
five dollars for each fifteen or twenty
times that they voted. These reports
turned out false. Again it was said
that seals on the ballot boxes were
broken and tempered with in police
stations. On investigation these state
ments We're found untrue. The story
that the ballot boxes We're stuffed to
the extent of thirty thousand votes was
ridiculous to any person who cared to
give the matter a single thought. The
total vote cast in New York was be-
low the normal and had there been any
such ballot box stutfing it would have
shown a larger vote than the registra-
ton 1t is for sensational outbursts
as these that William r. Hearst has
Iildue IlIlSeu OlStTuSteO Dy a large
class of people who would otherwise
be friendly. He is essentially an adj
vertiser. He may be good newspaper
man and probably is, but as Z director
of public thought and a leader of men
we should prefer to follow some one
who hewed little closer to the truth.
If Hearst has been elected Mayor
of New York the courts will determine
in his favor, but we trust that the
courts will arrive at their conclusion
upon an investigation in an orderly way
OF the facts in the case. Glaring head
lines containing misstatements will
not be competent evidence before those
courts. Mr.. Hearst has the money to
employ lawyers, his interests will no
doubt be fully protected. In the mean
while people who love their country
and who are advocates of honesty and
justice will await the decisions of the
courts and pay little attention to the
red headlines printed in Hearts's news
shops.

1t is very evident that the seemingly
incurable injustice and insolence of
British rule in Ireland is rapidly be-
getting in that most unfortunate of
subject countries spirit akin to that
which preceded the organization and
growth of the Irish Revolutionary and
Fenian brotherhoods in the middle
COS. Nathless, the Land Purchase bill
and other imperial Concessions to
Irish demands, there is deep, rapid
current of sullen discomfort flowing
through the Irish body polite, AMI this
manifests itself from time 70 ;ime in
vigorous expressions Of impatitnc:
from Irish editors of nearly all the
schools of thought and sentiment.
We have frequently alluded to that
perfectly useless but harmful force,
called the Royal Irish Constabulary-
a body of soldiers, not policemen. pick
ed from among the Irish peopls them
selves to keep their native country N
EaSSdldSe. Time was when young,
stalwart farmers sons and fine sons of
"middling" shopkeepers thought it no
particular disgrace to enter the Irish
Constabulary. That was in the gener-
alton or two following Catholic e1nanc:-
patton, when young Irish Catholic men
/ thought it a great boon, as indeed
they were taught by some who ought
to have known better to be permitted
to degrade themselves by wearing an
English livery of Irish hue. And i.
must be admitted that the original
members of the Constabu.arv were.
many of them, men who meant well
land who loved their country. Lut were
more or less the victims Of chronic
miseducation. They were not taught
the history of Ireland in the schools,
kany more than the Irish pupils of to-
Rday are taught that history.

Mr.. Hearst should congratulate him
self on his defeat, thinks the WASH

out the campaign promises that he
could not possibly have kept. Fifty
cent gas, three-cent car fares, munich
pal ownership in jiffy, the immediate
failing of the grafters, all these things
and more he pledged himself not mere
ly to undertake, but to accomplish.
Perhaps he knew, even though his fol-
lowers did not realize, that he could
no more have delivered these goods
than he could have flown to TN moon
Without legislature to enact the ne.

Or, Dunn of the Gaelic Depart.

| "Dr. Dunn, of the Gaelic Depart
ment Of the Catholic University, has
contributed a very interesting pape,
to the October number of the Uni
| versity Bulletin, on THE Revival OF
| Gaelic" says the Catholic Mirror
While primarily a sketch of the rise
| and progress of the Irish language, DR.,
Dunn's article is a strong plea, too, for
a wider study and deeper apprecia-
ton of it's beauties. He devotes a
| portion of his paper to The Excel
lencies of the Gaelic Language" in
! which he sets forth it's claims upon the
attention of the scholar. With the ex-
ception of the Greek declares the Doc
tor none of the European languages
spoken today presents such a wealth of
ancient literary monuments as the
Irish. Nor does the cant objection, he
says, that the tongue is behindhand
and out of keeping with modern con-
ditions possess any weight. All this

oppression and opposition which the
language has encountered. In vocab-
ulary, says the Doctor, it is unsur-
passed for copiousness of words to ex-
press every delicate shade Of meaning.
Speaking of the means used to crush
out the language in Ireland itself, DR..
Dunn writes: Some of my readers
may not have heard of the vile meth
DDS that were invented to repress Irish
children who were the principal vic
Tins. The tally" was billet hanging
from a cord around the schoolboy's neck
and for every Irish word the child
spoke at home, a notch was made in
the stick and the schoolmaster meted
out pro rata punishment. Not
many years ago in the schools of Brit
tany where the same blind infatuation
for the dominant speech and the same
disdain for the native tongue were, and
are still, found as in Ireland, 'sabot"
was given at the opening of the class
to one of the boys who was to pass
it over to the first of his comrades
caught speaking Breton and he, in
turn, was to keep it until he had caught
another tlagrante delicto. And thus
the "sabot" passed from hand to hand,
from group to group, like spy trap
ping the unwary into speaking word
of the prescribed tongue. At the stroke
of the bell the boys fell into line and
the schoolmaster asked in a severe
tone, Who has the Wooden Shoe?"
The poor culprit was brought in, his
schoolmates hooted at him and, as the
''sabot" was made and called the sym
bole" of the old tongue of his fathers
so the punishment for it's use was
equally symbolic, namely, to clean the
closets" Small wonder that under GEN.
turtles of such treatment the tongue has
fallen into disrepute. Rather is not
the greater wonder that it lived at all!
But the doctor is optimistic and says
that it has, as it were, just awakened
from long, deep sleep, fresh and I'M
spoiled by triteness, commences and
meanness."

AS an evidence of the cold pagan
ism that is preached and practiced in
certain so-called cultured Circles" we
need only refer to the horrible pro-
position recently propounded that
hopeless incurables should be put out
of the way" says the Catholic Union
and Times. This species of murder
is equivalent to that practiced by the
Spartans who slaughtered all mall
formed children that might be a bur-
den to the state. And have we come
to this in an age and land SO boastful
of it's humanties and Christian ethics,
where the preacher is vociferously
abroad and the little red school,
house lifts the lightning rod on the
crest of every hill?"

DEVLIN THE BANKER.
Death Of the Man Who Kept Accounts
in His Head.

Death of the Man Who Kept Accounts
in His Head.
Charles j. Devlin, SO years old, the
Topeka banker and coal dealer, died
Nov. 1 at st. Elizabeth's hospital, Chi
cago. from a stroke of apoplexy.
He had been at the hospital several
days. Mr.. Devlin suffered total COL
lapse last summer as a result of over
work. and, with his family, went to
Europe. He was returning home at
the time Of his death and was en-
route to Topeka.
The deceased is said to have be-
slowed handsome monetary gifts on
the ST. Elizabeth hospital of Chicago.
He leaves widow, Mrs. Jennie Dew
lin, and five children.
Devlin was a typical Woodworking,
self-made American. 1t was one of
the boasts of his life that he never had
taken a vacation. AS a financier he
shaved ut his desk from morning until
night. AS /; young man he worked all
the time. His story is the rise from
newsboy to captain of industry"
He was born in st. Louis fifty-two
years ago He was of poor Irish pa
rentage. While in his infancy his fam
lily moved to La Sale, ILL.,, where the
boy attended the Christian Brothers
institute. He went to school little,
but when Charley" was 10 years old
his father died and he started out to
look for work.
| After few odd jobs he became a
clerk in a coal mine. At the age of 1G
he was made bookkeeper. He worked
at the mine during the day and studied
civil engineering during the night.
In two years more Devlin became
manager of the mine. In that capacity
! he became acquainted with the coal
men of the country, and when a. syn
dictate came along and bought up the
coal fields in La Sale and Bureau
counties and laid out the town OF
Spring Valley. he migrated to the new
territory and there the foundations OF
his fortune were laid. In 1885 he mar
red Miss Mary A. Miller, daughter OF
a farmer.
Devlin was elected the first mayor OF
Spring Valley. He exploited the town
and brought the population to 5000 in
five years. He interested w. S. Scott
of Erie in the town. and Mr.. Scott and
others invested 100000 there. Late,
Devlin resigned his position on account
of differences with his associates. He
turned southwark and built the town
of Toluca. The bank. the Spring VAL
ley National, failed last July for $780,
900 and is in the hands of receivers.
In 1889 Devlin was made manager OF
the fuel properties of the Santa Fe
railroad system. After the Santa Fe
receivership ten years ago the railroad
leased its coal properties to him, and
