1T may occasion surprise that the

such is the fact. The little township,
rich in historical lore, more beautiful
and inspiring today to the eyes of the
visitor than We're it's shores to the eyes
of the eNiled Pilgrims when they first
settled there in 1920, has swung over
to the Catholic column and hereafter
must be regarded as Il notable illustra-
ton of the rapid march to ascendancy
in New England of the Catholic
church. Like scores of other NIassa-

scene of an unnOticed change, change

foregone conclusion that the Liberals
will have majority, and if so, Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman or John
Morley, will be the next premier.
Both are friends Of Ireland and it
seems probable that their cabinet
will be built with the idea of acceding
to the demands of the Nationalist.
Home Rule is by no means impossible,
nor is it as far away as most people
believe. John Redmond's motion was
defeated in the House of Commons by
Il majority Of only So whereas the
present government was elected with
Il majority of $50. John Redmond's $
motion which was practically Il motion
for Home Rule was defeated by only
80 more votes than was Gladstone and
his first Home Rule Bill. At that time
there was thrown on the side of Home
Rule the great personality of Glad
stone and Parnell. Today without any
such commanding figures Home Rule
is beaten by only 80 more votes. And
that, too. with one of the strongest
and most compact political parties in
power against an opposition which
has heretofore for long time been
divided into warning factions.
The Irish have good ground for be-
ing encouraged, and one of the best
signs is the fact that Chief Secretary
Wyndham found it necessary to resign
rather than to keep up an attempt to
carry water On both shoulders. The
question which the next government
will have to answer is "Shall we ac-
cede to the demands of five-siXths of
the Irish people or shall we continue
to be lead about by the other one
siXth:" 1t is probable that the next
step in the present crisis will be the
retirement Of Sir Antony Mcdonnell.
He is altogether too friendly to Ire
land to retain his position.

Lord Baltimore, better known as the
Right Hon. David Plunket, whose ap-
pearances in public have been few and
far between in recent years, made on
Friday last an earnest appeal in the
House Of Lords for the removal of Sir
Antony MacDonnell from the Under
Secretaryship in the interests of the
Union, says the Dublin Weekly Free
man. The altruistic devotion of the
Plunkets to the Union will recall the
soubriquet by which in the time of the
first Lord Plunket, who had placed no
fewer than six of his sons in situations

Bishopric for one, a judgship for an
other, Deanery for Il third. The

Wing Lord Chancellor, who was the
founder of the family, had declared in
the Irish House of Commons that if
the Union was carried be would, like
Hasdrubal of old, bring his children as
Hannibals to the altar and swear them
to eternal hatred and enmity, not Of
Carthage, but of England Within
three years from this declaration,
Plunket became Il law officer of the
crown by a vindictive prosecution of
Robert Emmett, whose brother, Thos.
Adds Emmett, had been his intimate
friend, and from that day to this every
generation of the plunket- Hannibal
family have been for their support of
the Union and ''loyalty" to England

| There is still some hope for female
singers in our Catholic choirs, says
the San Francisco Leader. These good
ladies were plunged in gulf of deep
despair when it was learned that, by
the Holy Fathers decree, they were
to be banished forever from the choir
gallery. They wanted to know" why
the more devout sex should not be al
lowed to sing to the glory of the Lord.
Well they may now lift up their hearts
and rejoice. The pontifical decree Is
likely to undergo some notifications.
There was recently a joint meeting of
the Commissions on Sacred Music and
Gregorian Chant in Rome While the
general rule agaist mixed choirs was
affirmed, the necessity was admitted
of eXempting those countries where it
would be difficult to enforce the law
The United States was specially mem
toned in the discussion as one of the
places whose special circumstances
called for exceptional treatment i'm this

was prepared for submission to the
Pope, who will probably agree to it's
terms. Switzerland has already Sc
cured this concession. and Bavaria has
applied for it. In fact, 10 German

to put the new law into practice. More
seems to have been done in America
than in any other country for the full
flllment Of the Holy Fathers purpose.

WYNDHAM FORCED 10 QUIT.

Inc elfOrt or the BalfOur govern
ment to please the Ulster Orange1nen
and their friends in England has re-
suited in the resignation of George
Wydham, chief secretary for Ireland.
His resignation is direct result of
the attempt on the part of the present
English government to shoulder the
blame, il such it must be called, for
projected Irish reforms upon tn,
shoulders of Antony Mcdonnell, under
secretary for Ireland. Mcdonnell, as
all well know. has certain we'll defined
ideas for instituting reforms, and
when II was suggested that some of
these IDEAS were to he put into opera
ton Il branch of the Unionists objecte(r
and threatened the government with
disaster The result was that Chief
Secretary Wyndham thought it best to
give the public the impression that Sir
Antony Mcdonnell was acting upon
his own authority and that Melon
ncliS opinions on reform were not
known to Wyndham ut the time that
Mcdonnell was asked to take the posi-
ton. John Redmond and the Irish Ma
| tionalSts were successful, however,
in securing the correspondence be-
| tween Wyndlam and Mcdonnell and
Balfour to be read in the House of
! Commons. This correspondence
showed that both Balfour and Wynd-
ham were fully cognizant Of Melon
nell's ideas and opinions. Their at
tempt, therefore, to make II scape- goat
of Mcdonnell was resented even by
the Unionists. The result was that
Wyndham found it no longer possible
to hold Oh. The truth Of the whole
matter probably is that both Wynd-
ham and Mcdonnell were DESTROYS of
instituting reform in Ireland. Wynd-
ham, who is descended on his mothers
side from Lord Edward Fitz- Gerald
the noted Irish patriot, has shown FOR
a long time that he has a warm heart
for Ireland and is in sympathy with
their aspirations. Sir Antony Nc
Donnell is an avowed Home Ruler and
