MIR. Walter Hume Long, the late
Chief Secretary for Ireland" says the
Catholic Standard and Times, having
been ANONYMOUSLY rejected by his
own constituency. has found a haven
of refuge in South Dublin. He is the
only prominent one of the whole
Unionist gang to escape the general
cataclysm. South Dublin is a sure
place for such statesmen as Long. 1t
is the nucleus of highland dry Tory
ism and Dublin officialdom and it's
shop-keeping hangers-on. 1t has been
"a Tory stronghold of the first class
for generations past. To speak of the
return of Mr.. Long for such rotten
borough. as the division may be fifty
styled. as wrestling a seat from the
Nationalist. is entirely misleading,
since the seat was only held by them
for brief interval. 1t was to turn
out Horace Plunkett. because he was
favorable. in a measure, to Irish ideas
that the Tories of South Dublin al
lowed the seat to go to the National
lists last time. Colonel King Hartman

eject him with his big blackthorn and

TWO IRISH cENTENARIANs.
Both Had Attained the Remarkable
Age Of ITO Years.

Age Of ITO Years.
Two citizens of Ireland, each of
whom had attained the extraordinary
age Of 10 years, died recently. They
were John Hopkins. of Loughgash,
Dunemanagh, County Tyrone, and Pat
rick Corrigan. of Lisduff, Parish of
Gortnahoe. County Tipperary. The
Freeman's Journal gives these sketches
of the centenarians:
Hopkins remembered the principal
events of the Irish rebellion. He used
to relate that he remembered his
father digging a hole in the bog to
hide himself and his family in during
this eventful time. Hopkins was
non smoker. and was never day sick
nor did he ever take any medicine
He said he did not believe in doctors
except for broken bones.
He lived plain. simple life as q
small farmer, and spent his youthful
days herding on the mountains before
they were converted into arabic land
He recollected the time when wheels
were introduced to replace the old.

centenarian stated that he had heard o.

cheered when in speech he told the
people here the Irish were not At to
govern themselves!
In talking about the general political
outlook, Mr.. Croker said: Campbell.

honest man, but some of his lieutenants
are not so friendly to Ireland as could
wish. He will do Ireland no good un-
less Parliament accords Home Rule
outright. I hope shall live to SCI

At times during his long discussion
of Irish affairs, Mr.. Croker showed
much feeling and in speaking of the
unjust registration was indignant. He
was looking we'll and said he felt so.

Robert f. Speer. secretary of the

American Protestant MISSIONS: The
movement entered the nineteenth cent
ury with missionary societies and
left it with 300. 1t entered with ITO
missionaries, and left it with 10000.
1t entered with an income of $4,000,

it's work. 1t is only the beginning.
Just how large Il share of this fund is
devoted to missions III countries which
were Christian before America was dis
covered is not stated, but it is certain
that large amount is SO devoted. But
$15,000,000 is Il large sum, nearly five
times the entire amount which the
Catholic Church has to spend for a
similar purpose. If money alone would
make converts the world would lons
ago have become Protestant. That
blessing of God is of more value than
length of purse our Protestant friends
will probably find out. If they have not
already done so, says the Boston Pilot

Irish Americans who saw and heard
the young Irish member of Parliament,
Mr.. Joseph Devlin, on his trip through
this country a few years ago, are not
surprised that he was chosen by the
Nationalist Party to contest the strong
Orange constituency of West Belfast.
Neither are they surprised to know
that he won a victory. West Belfast
will be represented in the next Parlia-
ment by an Irish Nationalist; some-
thing that has not happened for many
a year. Joseph Devlin is one Of the
most vigorous and eloquent members
of the Nationalist Party, and although
a young man, is even now considered
one Of it's strongest leaders. The
changed attitude of the city of Belfast
is one of the greatest delights to the
friends of Ireland. Belfast has been
the home of Orange and Unionist senti-
ment The next Parliament will see
Belfast represented by one Irish Ma
tionalist. one Orange Democrat, Mr.
Sloan, whose attitude toward the Ma

SENATOR BAILEY.

Senator Bailey of Texas is winning
his spurs in the United States Senate.
He easily ranks as the best debater on
the Democratic side and is perhaps the
best squipped statesman in the whole

Aldrich. who represent the moneyed
interests are mere pigmies when OPP
posed in debate to Bailey.
Bailey has prepared himself during

WAS 1T JUST CRITICISM?

1t Is said that many of the people
who heard the lecture Of DR.. Hyde at
the Auditorium last week felt that his
criticisms of the Irish people were too
severe. All express their admiration
Of the intense patriotism Of the man
and his great self-sacrifice in the cause
in which he has enlisted. But some
there are who, in their false notions
about Ireland and its people, are unwill-
ing to hear things that are discreditable
even though true. 1t is. no doubt. true
that no Minneapolis audience ever had
the opportunity of hearing so thorough
/ y patriotic address upon Irish af-
/ fairs and at the same time one that was
critical and just. DR.. Hyde did not
ascribe all the evils that now exist in
Ireland to English rule alone. Irishmen
have become so accustomed to laying
the blame for every defect in Irish
character or Irish affairs to English
rule that the ordinary Irish audience at
first impression is likely to be an un-
fair judge Of program for the better
ment of Ireland which is not based
first. last and all the time upon un-
alterable hatred and condemnation Of
everything English. No Irishman can
possibly depreciate the bancful iniu-
ence of English rule and English Gus
toms upon Irish people more thoroughly
than does DIR. Hyde. He differs. how
ever. from some in this that he lays
a portion Of the blame upon the peo-
pie of Ireland. He pointed out that the
loss of the Irish language to the peo-
pie in general of Ireland occurred after
the abolition of the Penal Laws and
that Ireland has travelled farther away
from its ancient customs and language
during the last seventy years than it
did in ali the centuries preceding. This
fac: he .sscribes to a false notion which
i :hc Irish people seem to have and
which leads them into an attempt to
initiate everything English. He as
scribes the present conditions to an
attempt on the part of the Irish people
to become English and at the same
time falling to remain Irish.

ULSTER FOR HOME RULE.

According to Michael Davitt, Ulster
is no longer Unionist. He says Ulster
is divided into nine counties and three
boroughs for Parliamentary and other
purposes. These counties and boroughs
were represented in the last Parliament
as follows: Donegal County, four Home
Rulers; Monaghan County. two Home
Rulers; Cavan County, two Home Rul-
ers with no Unionists for either coun-
ty: Tyrone, two Home Rulers, one Lib
eral and Mr.. 4. w. Russell: Ferman-
agh County. one UniOnist and one
Home Ruler: Armagh County. two
Unionists and one Home Ruler: Down
County, two Unionists and one Home
Ruler; Antrim County, three Union
lists and Londonderry County, two
Unionists. The nine Ulster Counties
were thus represented by fourteen
Home Rulers, eleven Unionists and Mr..
Il. w. Russell. The boroughs stood as
follows: Belfast. four Unionists: Derry
City, one Unionist. and Newry one
Home Ruler. There were, therefore
from entire Ulster fifteen Home Rul-
ers and fifteen Unionists with one in

A WEAK EXCUSE.

The attitude of the anti-Home Rule
members of the Liberal Party in MAIN
tanning that no Home Rule measure
should be undertaken by the present
government for the reason that Home
Rule was not an issue in the last cleo
ton, and, therefore, no direct mandate
from the people was given to the pres
ent Liberal government is weak to say
the least. The Unionists maintained
from one part Of the United Kingdom
to the other that the real issue be-
fore the people was Home Rule and
not the Fiscal question. They told the
people on the platform and through
the press that Il vote to retain the Lib
eral Party in power was vote for
Home Rule. The responsible leaders
of the Liberal Party did not refuse the
issue. While this was not the only
matter before the people for decision II
was an important and leading one. The
overwhelming vote in favor of the Lib
erals. while possibly not an accurate
index of the sentiment upon the issue
was nevertheless a declaration that
England and Scotland were no longer
afraid of the Home Rule boyle.
1t is reported that the new govern
ment has decided to grant responsible
government to the people of the Trans
vaal. 1t was announced even before
the last election that Sir Henry Camp.
bell Bannerman was in favor Of grant
ing Home Rule to the South African
people, This matter was not made 8
direct issue, but that fact does not de-
ter the Liberal ministry from announc'
ing their purpose to grant a consti'
tuition In South Africa. They do no
seem to think it necessary to have
