The continued exposition of scan
dals connected with one of the four
leading life insurance companies of
the country will not help to sell life
insurance. The people have learned
much about life insurance since Law
son commenced to tell what he knows
about the part taken by life insurance
companies in frenzied finance. Young
Mr.. Hyde and President Alexander are
putting on the finishing touches. 1t
appears that the principal purpose of
the organization of these companies
is to furnish juicy salaries for certain
families. Investigation discloses the
fact that there are six Alexanders
drawing yearly more than a quarter
of million from the policy holders
of the Equitable Life Insurance COM
pany. There arn't Alexanders enough
in the whole country to earn that
much in a year. Can young Mr.. Hyde
be blamed for holding onto his sine
cure as long as Mr.. Alexander insists
upon having all his relations drawing
fat salaries? This is not the only in
stance of nepotism in the life insur,
ance business. 1t will be found that
all the large companies have created
large number of offices or positions
for the purpose OF furnishing sons of
fathers with good positions.

ciently binding on the whole Liberal
party to justify the Irish leaders in
looking forward to such result with
equanimity? Is Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman to be the next Liberal
prime minister? What place will Lord
Rosebery and Sir Edward Grey occupy
and what will be their influence in
such a party? These are the doubts
that arise in considering the action of
the Irish electors in the coming con-
test, and we believe that they must
have serious consideration.
Nor do the doubts end there. The
Liberals who have ventured to suggest
how their intentions may be realized
have shown disposition to take up as
their own the policy from which Mr..
Myndham ran away as if that en-
bodied the principle which Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman declares ought
to be the vitalizing principle of Lib
eral Irish policy. If the Liberal policy
is to be consistent with Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman's principles it
can not be connected with the abortive
plans of the Unionists' ministry, his
colleagues and supporters, and if, as
Sir Henry mpbell-Bannerman's con-
cluding sentences suggest, the realiza-
tion OF policy is to be postponed till
the adhesion OF all parties in ireland
is secured, the Liberal Home Rule in
tention becomes as ineffective as the
Unionists' intentions regarding edu-
cation. We are told that Home Rule
must come by evolution, not by revo.
luton, but there is evolution and evo.
luton. Evolution that stereotypes i'm
perfection, and evolution that means
future advance. Let us be sure that
the evolution of Irish policy shall be
of the latter kind"

JEFFERSON THE ACTOR AND MAN

There seems to be a disposition in
many quarters to limit the credit to
be accorded to the late Joseph Jeffer-
son. So-called critics all over the
country have assumed'to say since his
death that he was not great actor
because he never essayed many great
roles. In his lifetime the people &C
corded to Jefferson his place at the
head of the American stage and they
did this for goods and sufficient rea,
sons. Joseph Jefferson was not only
a great actor, but he was great and
good man, and it was probably to the
latter fact that his great popularity is
due. But, 1t is not true that Joseph
Jefferson was not great actor. In
the course of his long professional
career, extending over seventy years,
he played many great and important
roles. He will be remembered as Rip
Van Winkle because In that character
his great humanity shone forth with
greater radiance than in others. But
those who have seen him in "Dr. Pan
gloss" or in "Caleb Plummer" or in
Bob Acres" will have hard work to
decide in which character they liked
him best. His great success was due
to the fact that he was first of all q
good man; and secondly, he gave his
entire attention to the work that he
had in hand. He was prepared for
every occasion and many anecdotes
are now related Of his complete pre-
paredness for events that others would
never forsee.' He never relied upon
inspiration and he had little sympathy

known as the New York Catholic Trib.
une will appear the first of next month.
The object of the journal will be to
treat in scholarly way topics bearing
on theology, scripture and philosophy,
and with this end in view it is prom
1sed that the united efforts of the most
eminent Catholic scholars will be di.
rected toward the solution of prob
lens and difficulties connected with
religion. A prospectus announces as
contributors some of the most eminent
Catholic writer's of the world, and the

Minneapolis Journal: London dis
patches show that the government
soon to be provided for the Beers will
hardly be self-government. The Lon
don government, through the imperial
governor, will keep the colony pretty
closely in leading strings. The suf-
frage will be restricted and the use of
the English language in the assembly
will be compulsory. This body will
have no initiative in financial legisla-
tion and cannot appropriate money
without the governors approval. Cen
eral Cronje has already protested that,
if this plan goes through, the English
government will break faith with the
Beers. Englishmen in the Transvaal
are also complaining. Wouldn't you
think that one Ireland was enough?

OF the five leading members of the
class of 1905 at West Point, one is
from Georgia, one from Michigan, one
from North Carolina, one from Oregon
and one from Maryland. The south
gets three and the west two. New
England is year by year becoming a
smaller part of this country. The
south does not produce very many
captains of industry, but it does pro-
duce its full quota of real statesmen
and finished scholars. In many ways
the south furnishes the best that there
h in American life today.

The Catholics who constitute more
than three-fourths of the entire popu-
lation of Ireland, have been defeated
in their efforts to secure Catholic
University for that country. A bill
providing for a Catholic university
was defeated in the House of Com
mons recently. Trinity University in
Dublin is, as everyone knows, under
the complete domination of the ene-
mics of the larger portion of the Irish
people, and what makes it the more
distasteful is the fact that the people
are compelled to support an institu-
ton to which they cannot in good con-
science send their sons. Mr.. Balfour
stated in the debate that the Irish
people were demanding something
that the Catholics of neither Austria
nor Germany possessed. That is not
true. The Austrian people govern
their own universities. They are not
ruled for them by an alien Protestant
Parliament or the representatives of
a native Protestant minority. The
Catholics of Germany have their rights
provided for in several German uni.
versities. It is a fine piece of irony
which allows British ministers in one
breath to charge the Irish people with
being ignorant and not fit to govern
themselves and in the next breath to
vote down q proposition to establish
schools for the enlightenment Of the
Irish.

Consistency is jewel. A Socialist
organ sarcastically castigates us,
says the Intermountain Catholic, for
characterizing revolutionary Socialists
as enemies of religion and society.
After attempting to convict us of
manifesting lack of Christian char
ity by our structures, this organ seems
to fairly revel in the boast that it's
constituency" is committed to the
one task of consummating the de-
struction of society," 1t is ominously
silent as to it's attitude toward re-
ligion, discreetly leaving this to the
inference OF it's readers, 1t seems to
resent, particularly, the designation of
its ilk as moral lepers," but as it
does not hesitate to proclaim itself,
inferentially, the determined foe of
all supernatural religion, it should be
equally frank by pleading guilty to
this charge also. Christianity is the
only efficacious conservator of the
morals of the people, and it is but fair
and just that it's enemies should be
publicly branded, so that they may
not contaminate society with their
loathsome malady. The editor of this
Socialistic organ should divest his
mind of the absurd notion that Chris
tian charity deters from using plain
and vigorous language when battling
with iniquity in any form. Christ did po=
refrain from employing harsh words
in denouncing the enemies of God.
Charity at times demands recourse
to drastic measures for the protection
of the innocent and unsuspecting null
titude from the nefarious machina-
tions of the INSCRIPTIONS enemies of
society-another designation for man
kind in a state of civilization. The
most reprehensible attitude of the
publication in question is, perhaps, it's
assumption Of being the mouthpiece of
the workingmen, collectively, of this
community; but there is, really, no
limit to the absurd audacity of the
revolutionary Socialist.

for those who on the stage or of it
relied upon hit and miss methods.
When he had to appear in a new thea
ter he carefully tested its acoustics,
. and once when he knew the auditor.
ium to be too large he refused to per-
form although much money was there
by lost. 1t is said of him that once
, on Founders Night at the Players in
New York he was down for a speech,
but he said he would prefer to answer
,, any questions of the stage or the
drama which the members might put.
The subjects suggested to him seemed
the most hackneyed-"Did Bacon
write Shakespeare" WAS Hamlet
mad?" WAS the Star System vi.
cious?" WAS the stage a reputable
profession?" Jefferson's answers were
as fertile as the questions were sterile,
and person who was present at that
meeting and now relates the instance
referred to, says that he is morally
certain that Jefferson had carefully
prepared for the occasion and that he
had arranged beforehand what the
questions should be and what he
should answer, and the same friend
says that his discourses ought to be
preserved and that they should be pub
lished, using for motto the opening
lines of one of Lowell's after-dinner
poems:
Il arise Mr.. Chairman, as all of you
know,
With the impromptu 1 promised you
three weeks ago."
John F. Fitz-Gerald, the publisher of
the Boston Republic, pays the follow.
ing tribute to the dead actor: His
personal qualities were so lovable
that they endeared him to those who
were privileged to know the man
back of the artist. During stay last
winter at Palm Beach the publisher
of the Republic had many opportuni-
ties of watching Mr.. Jefferson at close
range. And he found that the closer
you got to him, the more deeply you
penetrated into that beautiful mind
and character, the more you admired
and loved the frail old man whose gen.
ius had thrilled thousands with the
magic of magic art. It was my good
fortune to eaten, what I believe to be
the last "snap-shot"-t last photo
graph in fact-which was taken of Mr..
Jefferson. 1t was evident at that time
that the Dread Prompter would soon
summon the great Bob Acres" to his
last curtain. The end, however, came
sooner than expected. Joseph Jeff
erson was not a Catholic, but his ad-
miration of the grand old historic
Church of Christendom was always in
tense and he never was lacking in en-
phasizing his feeling. In those magical
pages of his Autobiography" he al
ludes at least twice to the Catholic
church and each time he adds word
OF praise. Referring to Booth he says:
His genius was essentially tragic,
sombre, shall say religious? Yes, he
had the temperament of the priest, the
face of priest. I mean these words
as praise of the highest form.'
Again he speaks of that great Cath
olic church which has done such val
liant service in the cause of art" He
regarded the church as the mistress of
the fine arts-and of the drama, which
he regarded as the most beautiful
form of art.
His eldest son married Christie
McDonald-a devout Catholic and a
Celt, in temperament, to the tips of
her fingers. His close associates were,
in many cases, Catholics.
