A PERTINENT PROTEST.

Mot long ago this naturally quiet
town was deeply stirred because some
hasty Irishmen thought they had been
or were going to be made fun Of on
the stage. We wondered then what
had come over the fun-loving Irish, and
we didn't believe that it had come
over all Of them. Our belief is confirm
ed by some remarks made by Father
Carroll of Wallingford in the Catholic
Transcript, He says: Why should an
Irishman or an Irishman's children re-
sent so holly these amusing represen-
cations Of manner and speech? Are
we so far superior to other races as to
have no pecullarities which lend them
SELVES to caricature or humorous de-
soription? Has no Irishman ever
blundered into odd infelicities of
speech or manner? ! am curious to
know how these champions of our race
would have the National characters
tics dealt with in drama and narra-
tive. Can an Irishman alone, of all the
tribes that inhabit the earth, never I'M
der any possible circumstance make
himself ridiculous or do anything dull?
A corollary Of this impossible position
one would say is that we should do
for Others what we so vigorously de-
mand for ourselves, and carefully
avoid whatever would reflect in any re-
hottest manner upon the peculiarities
of other races. Now, right here, VEN
ture to remark, but with no little trepi-
dalton, what other people assert is
Enthusiastically Irish, that we bitter
ly and vehemently resent everything
that tells against ourselves, but mani
fest but little dellcacy or reserve in our
treatment of others,
In conclusion Father Carroll peril
nently asks: do we not make OUR
selves more ridiculous than anything
which the stage has ever produced
when we show ourselves so absurdly
thin-skinned and touchy?" The plain
answer to this seems to be, we do.

A Timely Subject.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
When you have an ethical question
to discuss 1t is always better to have
it debated by men capable of looking
at the question from a large and dis
passionate point of view. Also it is
pleasanter to have such a debate take
place amid beautiful surroundings. I
would therefore respectfully suggest
that the subject for the next meeting
of the Associated Societies for Civic
.Bettermen be from civic betterment
point of view. ought not Yale to pay
some taxes on its dormitories and din
ing halle" and that the debate take
place in Woolsey hall on some Sunday
afternoon early next autumn.

ing if the meeting were opened by the
playing OF If it is good enough for

IN the Maine woods last winter. Three
years ago a lumberman who had been
given q ten-dollar bill on his wage ac-
count lost the money on his way home.
One day in Jonuary last friend found
the bill in an open field where 1t had
'peen dropped, still intact and easily re-
cognizable after having been drenched
IN the sun of three years. Being re-
stored to its original owner, the bill was
sent to the United States treasury,
where it was promptly redeemed in

now.

The churches and the colleges haven't
yet got their minds made UP to reject
tainted money, but it is announced that
the German court doesn't intend to
have anything more to do with 1t.
Hitherto 1t has been a comparatively
easy task for an American millionaire
to secure recognition in court circles,
the usual strict rules of procedure be-
ing relaxed in their cases, and all that
has been asked being the recommends
ton Of the American embassy that they
are worthy. Now that the disclosures
in connection with the expectation of
American food products are being ex-
plotted ny the German press, comment
is made that certain Of the men direct
ly concerned have the entree of the
court, while German packers, whose
product is admitted to he wholesome,
have been shut out. Stringent orders
have been issued, 1t is declared, to keep
the court circles clear of all American
millionaires whose wealth is drawn
from deflled sources. All who are not
entirely above suspicion are to be ex-
Guided.
This ts decidedly interesting II it is
true. Perhaps the time may come in
this free and Independent country
when rich robbers wont be worshipped
for their money.

well known for its excellent fishing
grounds, when he CHANGED upon an

old countryman, who, as he sat on the
bank, looked as if time and the world
might pass away without disturbing his
content. Have you fished long in this
stream?" pleasantly asked my friend
"Twenty-three years" was the laconic
response of the fisherman, who scarcely
looked up. Get many bites?" was the
next question. Still gazing intently

A general primary law is demanded
from the Louisiana legislature, now in
session at Baton Rouge. Both parties
are in favor of 1t, and there is no doubt
that such a measure will be placed on
the statute books; the fighting is over
the details, One senator proposes to
compel those who register to state
whether they are Democrats or Repub-
loans, which would bind the indepen-
dents to particular party in advance.
Hence they oppose It, The Civil League
of New Irleans has also drawn up a.
bill along independent lines. The leg

making possible the election of all
state officers, taking away the present

stated at a meeting Of the British AS
economical Association that there were
no fewer than twelve instances last
year when groups Of spots were seen
on the sun with the naked eye, March
81, this year, was the first day on which
he saw the suns disk with anything
approaching the display of sun spots
seen In October and November last
year. The groups this time were not
as compact as the chief groups Of 1905,
but they extended over considerable
