PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY
IN THE "IRISH" POLICE

Among the reforms in government in
| ireland that must come and come soon
II the Liberal cabinet be true to the
promises and pledges of its leaders is a
| le1orm Of the police system in all IFS
features. That it needs reform of course
goes without saying. 1t is perhaps the
! worst department of Dublin castle rule
the most un-Irish and anti-Irish. the
most detested by the people Needless
! 10 say it is under the control of Prot
/ estant ascendency. which means the ell
emeht IN Ireland alien in race, creed and
sympathy frSm the mass of the popula-
tlon. This element has practically
complete monopoly of all the high and
Well-paid offices in the service or
force as it is fittingly called being in
TACT more of military organization
than a police in the proper sense of
that word. To be d Protestant or Free
mason is the best assurance of promo
ton in this government service in Cath
olic Ireland. How the business is
worked in the exclusive Protestant in
terest is thus told in a special article on
Police Promotion in the Dublin Free
mans Journal:
There is one qualification the consta-
bulary tpolice) officer generally looks
Tor i'm the candidate for promotion. and
that is the religion of the man. Ulite-
laCy and stupidity are no bar. if the
character Of the Protestant is even
fairly good, and we have known Prot
eStants having bad records who. after
a period of freedom from complaint,
We're promoted TO all the grades. even
to the rank of district inspector. Not
only have Protestants the sympathy
and support of the great majority of
the oftlcelS, but they have behind them
the protestant and reemaSon influence
OF the country. A county inspector will
not neglect the request of the parson
or treat lightly the whisperings of the
Mason, with whom he dimes or sups at
the local lodge or club. neither will he
turn deaf ear to the landlords and
other gentry of that ilk when they re-
mlnd him of the good qualities of this
man and of that man. and express a
hope that they won't be forgotten. The
of this policemen (the Protest
ants) would. as a rule. be quite safe in
the hands OF the county inspector; but
their promotion is doubly certain and
likely to come quicker when thev can
command this influence The position
OF ProtestantS therefore. i'm the con-
stabulary is never i'm doubt. But if
Professionalism is a good recommends
ton for the Irish policeman. Freema-
sonry is better still and so we find
every Protestant becoming a Freema-
son as soon as he begins to think of
promotion
That is the way Protestant ascend
ency operates in the Dublin castle po-
lice. For the Protestant promotion is
easy and sure; for the "papist" there is
as rule but the private ranks.
Some may say serve the 'papist right,
he ought not to be there"
The Irish Catholic ought not to be in
that anti-Irish :ervice. But the time is
not far distant we hope when he may
be in the police service of his country
without dishonor to himself or his creed
or his race The doom of alien rule and
Protestant ascendency in Ireland is fast
a approaching.

At Parnell's Grave.

In the Dublin Independent of Sept. II
d correspondent writes as follows of
visit to Parnell's grave in Glasnevin
cemetery. Dublin:
| was at GlaSvenin cemetery the 9TH

there l saw with delighted eyes man
engaged painting the rails surrounding
the plot and the iron Celtic cross at the
head Of the nameless grave. l instantly
thought he was employed by the Cath
olic cemeteries committee or by Par
nells friends to do this work but on
inquiry he told me that he was deco
rating the grave himself as mark of
his respect to ParnelIs memory.
Now. l consider that this mans gen.
erous action deserves public notice.
Here, surely. is a manifestation of love
ana loyalty. and an example of those
who proclaimed themselves for a time

Hotel Bibles.

From the New York Sun.
 The proprietor of a newly furnished up- town hotel has given an order to a pub fishing house for 200 Bibles.
 "I have been hearing lot lately" he said about hotel guests going wrong because there were no Bibles in their rooms. Several years ago it was the practice of many hotels to include a Bible in the list of necessary furniture Grad ually the people who were back of the enterprise lost interest, and the books disappeared. Now it seems that many persons, particularly commercial travel CTS, complain of missing them. Frequent ly they read chapter before going 10 bed Just to drive away the blues, but now they never get chance to look inside d Bible. That being the case. it shall not be said that any man stopping at my house is driven to perdition for the want of Bible.

HONORARY TITLES.
Colonels In Louisville, Doctors in Phil.

From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 Every acquaintance of more than 24 hours is a Colonel to the man from Louis ville And the title is applied in perfect ly natural way-1ust as if it was deserved The Kentuckians means his military sal utes to be complimentary, and they are.
 The natives are free with their titles down that way, too, and Colonel is not the limit. There are two prominent law yers in the Blue Grass state who are call ed General everywhere. When their names appear fin the newspapers the' titles are used with as much solemnity as though they had been earned on a field of battle. One of them is General counsel for railroad and the other served term years ago as Attorney General of the state.
 In Philadelphia as soon as your &C., quaintance reaches the degree of fam iliarity that would justify him in calling you by your first name the Philadelphian gives you the title of doctor When a Philadelphian addresses you as doctor" you may know he is getting intimate and maybe you can borrow money.
 
 The reason for the popularity of "doc- tor Is not far to seek The Quaker City is the seat of many big medical colleges, produces an unusual number of physi- clans, and has come to look upon the medical profession as one of the most learned, progressive and important. Philadelphia newspapers get up more ex- citement over a medical college com mencement than anything except the first run of Delaware river shad in the spring.
 A Boston man gloats over giving and , receiving the title professor The req son is obvious to one acquainted with the Boston state of mind. Professor" indi- cates a broader culture than doctor and that tickes Boston.

 In Denver and generally in the newer | west, 'pard" and buddy are good enough to express the breezy mountain and plain good fellowship of the people The New Yorker also has his favorite and expressive titles of appreciation and | esteem.

WHERE PADS ARE USEFUL.
Variety and Change In Daily Routine
 Aids to Longevity.
From Medical Talk.

From Medical Talk.
 One of the professors In the Univer- sity of Nebraska claims that the Ameri- can people are running too much to fads. He says they are wearing them selves out chasing after physical cul- ture golf, tennis. automobiling, mas sage, diet baths, etc. He denominates these things as fads. The person gets interested in one or more of them and spends a great deal Of time and energy pursuing them.
 No doubt a person can run thing into the ground and make it harmful even though of itself it be a good thing. But we believe that every person should have at least one side issue or fad from his regular vocation.
 After one gives so much time every day to the routine of work to turn aside for awhile and take up golfing, tennis or physical culture or other out- door sport Is restful and beneficial. True, some people do become regular cranks on health culture. diet, bathing and ath- letic sports, but any one of these pur- sued in moderation, with common sense. can be made of a great deal of use. es- pecialy to the person confined in an of- fee all day, It brings into play the mus
 
 his mind all business cares and sets an- other train of thought going. Reasonable attention to diet and bathing Is also sure to improve health. The woman who is confined to her home the larger part of the day with housework will find golf or tennis or an hour spent in physical cu- ture a relief to tired muscles and nerves. Change and variety in our daily routine are necessary to our well being. No mat ter what our regular vocation may be, 1t is harmful to get into a rut-just sim- ply going through a treadmill of duty day after day with no letup. One should always try to bring into each day some new activity, some new train of thought. It is not wise thing to get into a cer- tain groove and just simply wear ones life away. Monotony kills quicker than anything else. We should have our daily work. in which we are interested. put our energy and enthusiasm into it and do 1t with all our might. then when that is done turn to some other form of activ- ity or rest.
