And with all due respect to many able

true. nevertheless, that there is not

Land owners are already quite familiar
with the methods of abstractors and

slow to believe that the new system
can possibly be worse than the old.
AS matter of fact it is immeasurably
superior. 1t has come to stay and
those who have invested large sums if

discount their investment greatly.

1t is to be hoped for the sake of
Ireland as we'll as for the success of
the Liberal party that its leaders will
follow the advice of John Morley and
no longer act the coward in the face
of this ever-present Irish question.
Today the Unionists party which has
been SO strong and powerful for the
last twenty years lies shattered and
torn into fragments before this issue.
1t is admitted on all hands that the
rule of Dublin Castle has been a fail
ure. The people of England realize
1t and it needs only courage on the
part of the Liberal party to secure
from the English people the authority
to grant a large measure of self-gov:
eminent to Ireland. Heretofore Eng
lish leaders, with the exception of
Gladstone, have been afraid that the
Home Rule DOGGY would loose seats
for the Liberals in the English and
Scotch constituencies. The time has
now arrived for the Liberal party to
boldly assert that it is still the party
of Gladstone and John Morley. If it
does not do so its hold on power wiz
be short. Redmond has already de-
clared that the Irish members will
never support a government headed
by such Liberal as Lord Rosebery.
There are enough Irish voters in Lon
don, Liverpool and other English
cities to defeat sufficient number of
Liberals to at any time overthrow a
Liberal ministry. Let us hope that
John Morley will be called upon to
form the new Liberal ministry.

Harry S. New, the newly appointeS
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee comes from expert political
stock His father, John c. New,
President Harrison's Consul-General in
London came to Minneapolis in 1899
and almost single handed overturned
the National Committee which was
bitterly opposed to Harrison's re-
nomination. The Committee at that
time was headed by James S. Clark:
son who was supported in his opposi-
ton to Harrison by such powerful
leaders as Senator Plat of New York,
Quay of Pennsylvania, Wolcott of
Colorado and Foraker of OHIO, yet
New was victorious over them all
Harrison being nominated on the first
ballot. The present Chairman was an
aid to his father in that fight. He
was great friend and favorite of Sen
ator Hanna. 1t looks as though :he
Republican party was about to retrace
Its steps and to take up the position
It occupied prior to President Roose
velt's leadership.

Fixing the Easter Date.

According to the decree of the
Council of Nicaea, Easter is to be
celebrated on the first Sunday after
the fourteenth moon of the first month.
The first month here referred to is not
January, but the Jewish first month,
or that month in which the fourteenth.
of full moon, occurred either on or i'm.
mediately after the vernal equinox.
This rule, according to our calendar,
places Easter on the Sunday following
the equinoctial full moon, that is the
full moon occurring on or Immediately
after the vernal equinox (March 21).
Thus, last year, the equinoctial full
moon, the first after March 81, &C.
Cured on Wednesday, March 80, and
the Sunday following was April 8, on
which day Easter was to be kept.
In the present year there seems to
arise an astronomical difficulty owing
to the fact that in America the moon
is full on March Goth, 11h. 4Sm., p, M,
washington time), while in Europe
at the same moment they write:
March Fl III. Sc, Greenwich time).
In European countries, therefore,
Easter ought to be kept on the Sunday
following March 21, i. e., March 2G,
while in our country, for which the
next moon after the equinox occurs
on April 10, Easter will be celebrated
on the Sunday following that date, i. e.,
on April %. To obviate such AMI
similar difficulties the ecclesiastical
calendar refers not to the actual moon
in the sky, which is full at definite
instant of time, but to fictitious
moon, the times of the phases of
which are SO arranged as not to differ
much from those of the actual moon.
Thus in 1905 the ecclesiastical;
calendar moon is full on March 20,
and again on April 18, not at any
particular hour of these days but on
these days in general, and whereso:
ever these dates occur Now April
Is is, by this rule, the Paschal full
moon, and Easter day is the following
Sunday. viz: April 23.-Rev. F. P.
Hillig in Universe.

1t is OF uncalculable importance, mas
much as 1t is the earliest written docu.
''ment in Irish history, of which We
have certain knowledge.
Missionary work on the continent 10
given a generous amount of space, and
the exploits Of COLUMBIA, Columbanus,
Gallus Tor St. CALI, Fursa. Demoad of
Cologne, and Virgil of Salzburg, the
first of moderns to teach that the
earth was round, and went around the
sun.
Passing from these early periods,
the social and political life of teh ISL
and is lightly touched upon, until the
arrival of the Normans under Strong
bow. From this on the authors go into
a more detailed recital of events, TAX
ing the reader along in an interesting
manner up to the present time.
The Irish race abroad has not been
forgotten. The deeds of those who
fought under the banners of France,
Austria, Spain, Portugal and other Eu-
ropean countries, to say nothing of the
United States, are recounted with fidel-
ity and enthusiasm.
The last chapter of the Story is de-
voted to the Irish writer's, from Dean
Swift to Yeats, a wonderful galaxy of
| literary stars. 1t is astonishing how
much can be condensed into a small
space. Mr.. Johnston has given excel
! lent sketches of the most famous men
| of three centuries in one brief chapter.
J yet they are brought out as vividly as
though many chapters had been ex-
pended on them.
Mr.. Johnston has made many excur-
sions into the domain of Irish manu-
script annals to obtain the materials
for his book. Much of the matter
comprised in this work is new to the
majority of readers of Irish history,
and therefore enhances the value of
the book. 1t is all cleverly arranged,
and Miss Spencer may be congratu-
lated on the splendid success she has
had in systematizing the narrative so
as to make it suitable for school pur-
poses. 1t is an ideal school history of
Ireland, and it's cost is so slight that
there is no longer any excuse for the
exclusion of Irish history from schools
and societies on the ground of ex-
pense. Taken from every standpoint.
| believe that in "Ireland's Story" by
Charles Johnston and Carita Spencer,
we have the book we so earnestly
looked for in the past.

eide in favor of again giving away
their streets to private corporations
than they would now decide in favor
of turning their waterworks over to a
private concern.
The people Of Minneapolis will not
be slow to learn the lesson taught by
the great city which Is today the
leader in vigorous and independent
thought. The citizens of Minneapolis
will some day put into execution a
sentiment which is already prevalent
in our midst. They will realize as 9TH
er and older cities already realize that
the streets are the most valuable prop
erty in a city, and realizing this, they,
too, will decide that those streets shall
no longer be used for the purpose Of
earning dividends for nonresident
stockholders.
We need able and fearless leaders
to advise the people of their rights
and we need an Independent and I'M
bought press as a medium through
which to express the sentiment in IA
vor of municipal ownership Both these
agencies will come in due time.
Chicago has opened the way in a
fight that is bound to continue and to
spread into every important city in the
land. The most aggressive and indie
nopdopt oop,ro,,p;t;oc will bo tho Gre+
to throw off the shackles of the public
service corporations which own and
corrupt municipal agencies. Cities
like Philadelphia, where public senti-
ment has been dulled by long contin-
ued bribery and political debauchery
will be the last to respond to the new
order of things. We are hopeful
enough to believe that as yet the pub
lie service corporations of Minneapolis
have not fastened their hold beyond
the breaking point. We believe that
on several occasions in other matters
the voters of this city have shown an
independence of spirit and action
which justifies the hope that Mime
apolis will be one of the first cities in
the United States to own not only it's
street railway system but its electric
lighting plant, its gas plant and it's
telephone system. Let not the friends
of municipal ownership delay the day
of success by putting forward I'M
worthy advocates of the principle. Lei
them not involve this question in par
tisan politics but start out now to
spread the sentiment until it becomes
efficient as a public force.

The men who hold the straps morn
ing and evening in the dingy, over
crowded street cars of Chicago had a
new job last Tuesday and they liked
1t so we'll that they decided to do away
with strapholding for the future. Some
day the tired working men and women
of Minneapolis will ask themselves
why they are obliged to hold straps,
and some one not owned by the street
car companies will tell them that it is
their own fault that they hold straps;
that the only reason for so doing is to
increase the dividends to be paid to
nonresident stockholders. When that
day comes Minneapolis voters will
take day off too and decide against
the strapholding job.

The slightest knock always met with
an immediate response. This time
there was no answer. He knocked
again and louder; no answer. He wait
ed and listened, and his mind began to
picture the poor unfortunate woman
on her bed, approaching her judgment
and with such dispositions! He
breathed a prayer and waited, looking
up at the stars that began to appear
in the heavens. Brighter than these
mans soul and woman's was made to
be. And here was redeemed soul,
blurred and soiled!
He turned around and knocked
again. He listened, thought he heard
q footstep, but it was only a breath
of wind or the noise Of a vehicle at
a distance. Again he turned to the
huge knocker, and long and loud he
thundered-it seemed to him as if the
whole city might have heard it. M
answer came.

and desired to see him. He flew to
the hospital. He knew where the bed
was. He had his stole and oil-stocks

heart for His long and patient mercies.
He came to the bedside all out of
breath. He looked at the girls face
and stood aghast. She was dead:

cHIcAeo's NEW MAYOR,

| Judge Edward F. Dunno, the newly
elected mayor of Chicago, has the
proud distinction of receiving the
| largest vote ever cast for candidate
| for that Office. He was elected over
| his Republican rival by plurality ap-
lproXimating 25,OO0 Judge Dunno was
at the time of his election a judge of
the circuit court of Cook county, to
which Office he was reelected lust one
year ago. His father was an Irish i'm
migrant we'll known throughout the
country as an advocate of Irish lib
erty. He sent his son to Ireland to be
educated, and the new mayor of Chi
cago was graduated at Trinity College,
Dublin. Judge DUNES whole active
life has been spent in Chicago, where
he enjoys most enviable reputation.
He has made good Judge and nothing
could be said against him as man,
In addition to eminent ability and
good judgment he is a man of great
courage, always ready to trust in the
people. His bold fight for municipal
ownership and his estimable qualities
as a man were responsible for the
magnificent majority which he re-
ceived. There are some, however, in
GLIDING the president of the United
States, who might ascribe his ex-
traordinary success to the fact that he
is the living exponent of one who is
opposed to race suicide, for he has
family of ten children. He is the
forty-ninth mayor of the city of Chi
caso. Chicago has had only three Re.
publican mayors in the last quarter of
a century, each holding for single
term, while the Democrats have cap
tured the Office eleven times. Nine of
these times the Office was secured by
the Carter Harrisons, five times by the
father and four times by the son. A
more difficult situation presents itself
to Judge Dunno than it has ever been
the fortune of the mayor of any other
city in the country to attempt to solve
He will be the pioneer in an effort to
confer public ownership upon an
American city of the first magnitude

Too Late.

was once travelling with the late
venerable Archdeacon Halpin of Rath-
keale, and the conversation turned Oh
a death under saddest circumstances,
of which he had just read an account
in the papers. He; thereupon gave me
a relation of what happened to him
self in the year of the famine, says a
correspondent in Ave Maria"
At that time 1.-The sickness" was
sweeping away thousands Every city
erected fever hospital, and al.
through the country large buildings,
mills and factories, were turned into
auxiliary warehouses. The archdeacon
was attached to one of those fevel
hospitals on the outskirts of the city
of Limerick. Priests work was in
cessant there; DAY and night he had
to stand there by the bedside OF the
dying.
One of those stricken with the fever
| was an unfortunate" of the streets.
She was taken to the hospital on Sun

to the Archdeacon, as he was finish"
| ing the parish mass, that she was dy:

dying in her sins! Perhaps of all the
calls" that come to a priest, none
iappeals to his heart with such pity
as the case of such one He went
to her without delay. She was very
bad;" she might live a day or so, but
could scarcely hold out much longer
She told him she did not want him, she
was not very ill, she knew she was
not going to die yet, and when she
felt herself getting worse she would
not fail to send for him.
At that moment a corpse was carried
out before their eyes. He thought that
the sight would impress her much
better than he could; but she seemed
to be in no way moved. He asked
IL she wanted to die in her sins? No.
she did not; and, please God. when
she came to die she would make up
her mind to confess her sins and be
reconciled to her Creator. At present
lshe could not. He put on the stole
and told her now that Gods mercy
was open to her. No, she did not want
it just now. He quoted the Scripture
in its terrible warnings and denuncia
)! tons; but it was all to no purpose
he was obliged to leave.

BY the will of the late Owen O'Hara
of Lanesboro, MIMI, the st. Paurs
Catholic Orphan Asylum is made the
recipient of the sum of $500.
Mr.. O'Hara was always deeply inter-
ested in the work done by the sisters
in charge of the institution, and in
settling up his affairs, desired that
this amount be set aside for the fur
therance of the good work. The dona-
ton at this time is particularly oppor-
tune, as the Sisters desire to make an
addition to the asylum, where the in
fants committed to their charge can
be cared for apart. This sum will
help considerably to q realization of
this long cherished plan.

| London, April 6.-The house of CON-
mons last night was the scene of
remarkable demonstration based upon
the defeat of government candidate
in the bye election for Brighton. a
constituency which, for twenty years,
had not failed to return conservative
or unionist candidates for parliament
by majorities of 1000 and upwards.
While a somewhat uninteresting
| debate was dragging on, there was
rush of opposition members from the
Hobbies, shouting with Joy over the
liberal victory of Brighton, where
Gerald Loder was seeking reelection
! on his recent appointment as junior
lord of the treasury, the liberal can
didate being E. Villers. "Villers is
in." was the cry, which was received
with great cheering. Premier BalfOur,
who was just then entering the house,
was greeted with shouts of "Resign!"
"Resign!"
| Mr.. Balfour quilted the house almost
Immediately.

nary scene occurred. Mr.. Lloyd George
advanced liberaD said he had intend
ed to question the premier on the fate
] that had befallen member of the
| administration. He complained that
on receiving notice that the question
| would be raised the premier had
l deliberately left the house, The
}premier's discourtesy to the house, he
said, was becoming absolutely often
sive
Several members spoke, supportipa
Mr.. Lloyd George and declaring that
the government ought to resign.
Winston Churchill said it looked like
the beginning of the end and that it
was retribution for the governments
shams and shuffles and for the manner
in which the premier had treated
parliament.

Unionist editorial articles this morn
ling reflect the CONSERVATION caused
Iby the unexpectedly heavy blow of the
Brighton election. Various attempts
were made to explain the defeat away.
The Standard appeals to Premier
Balfour to issue a stirring address or
lcall meeting of his followers and
take them into his confidence.
! Mr.. Balfour had a long conference
with Joseph Chamberlain last night.
The position of Gerald Loder, the de-
Heated candidate, is very peculiar. His
duties as junior lord of the treasury

)but he now has no seat in parliament.
