ton, D. c., 1o7 years ago. or that lls
years ago the Maryland legislature
ceded to- the national government a
tract of land ten miles square for the
purpose of giving the nation site
for its capital? The bill thus passed
was then signed by James E. Howard.
fifth governor of Maryland, and inl-
mediately became a law.
However, other states wanted the
capital within their territory. Penn
sylvania wanted it on the Susque-
hanna: Virginia considered the Po-
tomac an excellent site. and New
York desired it on the Hudson. Sew.
eral of these states offered the gov.
ernment tracts of land, but Mary.
lands offer was the most liberal.
President Washington. OH July is.
1890. signed the bill establishing the
seat of government OH the banks of
the Potomac and accepting the ces-
sion of land made by Maryland. Vir-
ginia also ceded tract ten miles
square, but this was coded back by
the United States in July, 1886.
Washington did not live to see his
government established in it's new
home.
Some historians tell you that the
new capital was built in wilderness,
but statistics show that in those days

A PREACHER DEsPAIRs.

The Reverend Newman Smyth for
a. quarter Of century pastor of the
largest Congregational church in New
Haven. Conn. and member Of the
Yale corporation. is reported to have
declared in his Christmas sermon last
Sunday that the age of Professionalism
Is past: that it's churches are all split
up and Incoming more so every day
and no longer have power over thu
people or the state and that the time
for new Catholicism is at hand and
the sooner the people realize II the
BETTER says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Just what the Rev. Smyth means by
a new Catholicism" We are left to
surmise. He probably means Catho-
licisn, without a. unity of teaching.
unity Of communion. and without a
hierarchy. He probably means a
Catholicism that would leave individ-
nal Interpretation untouched He
would no doubt condemn the attitude
of Plus y toward the so-called mod
crnists. His new Catholicism" would
probably exclude the essentials which
differentiate the Catholic church from
the Protestant churches
Commenting upon the declaration the
Inter Ocean says: Exactly what DR..
Smytl meant by some of these report
cd remarks is not very clear. Neither

despair about the future of the Profess

stands a good chance for the red hat,
says the Catholic Union and Times.
Is 1T possible that news travels 80
slowly to Roman correspondents and
so quickly from them? We hope the
venerable archbishop is by this time
wearing a crown of glory that. unlike
earthly honors, sits easily on his tenn
piles. The Roman scribe believes that
in order to do, men have to dare, and
so he destroys the quiet of the tomb
with the supposed ambitions Of the liv-
ing 1t is charming instance of the
want of reliability of news marked
Rome. There are two Romes--one as
fallible as the other is infallible: one
very human and false-the other cter-
nal and true. Beware of the one, as
much as you venerate the other.

Latest exchanges from Ireland dis
close a nluclr more hopeful condition
in the political situation than any for
the past six months, says the Catholic
Standard and Times. A series of
speeches by Mr. John F.. Redmond in
England and Scotland, couchcd in his
usual temperate and unasressjye
style. indicate complete healing of
differences in the National camp and a
renewal of the fight for Ireland's free
dom with all the force of a reunited
party. This happy result we have no
hesitation in attributing to Mr.. Red
mond's own cdlmness and judicial
temper in dealing with a trying con-
troversy. He never speaks strongly ia
any antagonist but the common cne-
my. thereby showing that he possesses,
the first essential for successful lead
or Of able men-perfect self-control.

POLITICS UNCERTAIN.

| The national committees have met
and fixed the time and places for the
holding of the Republican and Demo-
cratic conventions. The presidential
campaign of 1908 will commence in
earnest with the new year At this
time it may fairly be assumed that
Secretary Taft has the lead for the Re-
publican nomination and Mr.. Bryan is
reasonably sure of the Democratic
nomination. but public sentiment
changes rapidly in these times. The
control of the politicians upon the vot-
crs is less perfect than it used to be.
Past experience does not assure the
one WHO is thus early naming the tick
ct. The manner in which Secretary
Taft and MIR. Bryan are referring to
each other in their public speeches in-
dicates that each of these gentlemen
believes the other will be the nominee
Of his party.
In the last year of Jackson's admin
istration it appeared certain that Clay
would be the nominee of the Wings.
He had been for years the great lead
or of that party. He was perhaps the
greatest political leader the country
ever had. He was surely the greatest
par iamentary leader. Yet William
Henry Harrison received the non1na.
ton. In the months preceding the
Democratic national convention in 1874
it was conceded that Van Buren, would
again lead the party. but dark horse,
Polk, was nominated and he defeated
Clay by a very narrow margin. Clay
continued to be the leader of the Wings
preceding the convention of 1s4s and
was easily the leading candidate, but
Zachary Taylor was nominated and
elected. A year before the convention
in 1860 William H. Seward and Steph-
ell A. Douglas We're lining up for the
next campaign. much as BRYAN and
Taft are now, but Lincoln beat Seward
III the Republican convention and
Stephen A. Douglas received the NOM
ination of a divided party, the southern
states withdrawing from the conven-
ton and nominating Breckenridge. In
1876 Blaine who had been the FORE
most Republican in Congress for
years, was the leading candidate. but
Hayes was nominated. In 1880 Grant
had the most delegates but Garfield
finally received the nomination. In
1888 John Sherman was the leading
candidate but Harrison received the
nomination.. In 1896 Bland had the
most delegates in the Democratic con-
vention. but Bryan made speech and
received the nomination.
For the first time in twelve years
the Republican nomina ion is in doubt
There will be a real contest. The fol-
lowers of different candidates will not
give up the fight until majority OF
the delegates at Chicago have voted
for some man. Although the Demo-
cratic nominee must receive two thirds
nj the delegates to the Democratic
convention, the nominee Of that con-
vention at this time is more certain
than the nominee of the Chicago con-
vention

How ireland is overtaxed.

The British Government overtaxes
Ireland by s15,ooo,ooo year.
That is one Of the great causes why
1rishmen are forced to emigrate, and
why Irish industries languish.
This year the British Government I
has taxed Ireland s47,45o,00o-an in
crease Of $215ooo on last year.
Here are the amounts paid in taxa
ton by Ireland to England this year
on articles of common consumption
Tea, $2,760,000; tobacco, $6,455,Oo0;
wine. $46o,ooo; foreign spirits, $780,
600: whiskey. beer, etc. dncluding lie
censes), s17,245,0oO. In all nearly $780,
O0o 900.
How does England collect this tax
from Ireland? This way:
Every time a man buys an ounce Of
tobacco in Ireland he pays the Brit
ish Government I'd.
Every time he buys a cigar he pays
3-4d.
Every time he buys a package Of
ten cigarettes he pays ID
Every time he buys pound of tea
he pays Sd.
The actual profit made out of Ire
land last year by England was $685.
900. If the people Of Ireland reduced
their consumption of excisable articles
by one-half England would lose from
100000 to $2.5oo,o0o a year on the
government of ireland.

The sossarth's Riddles.

Some sneak-thief. says Cleveland
o.. daily paper. last night entered the
residence of Rev. William Mcmahon
editor Of the Catholic Universe, and
stole two rather valuable violins owned
by the popular priest, and much ,,riz-
ed by him.
May forty thousand discords rend
The heart of this whole noted f1end!
May sharps pursue him black as bats;
May all his skin be torn by flats:
May naturals stick to his spine;
And braces hold him to each line;
May stats upon his head beat riddles
The thief who stole the sogsarth's
tiddles!
Where'er he bows may sudden slurs
Assail his ears like snarling ours;
May fierce crescendos sweep him hence
And tie him in positions tense;
May swift arpeggios pour hot LAYERS
OF Kissing demisemiquavers
Until his cheeks smoke like red grid
dies
The wretch who stole the sogearths
fiddles!
May he not rest in Purgatory
Find when they learn his shamef,,
story;
May Paganini, dark and stern
Firce passing- shake him to a turn.
May Joachim, in angry drifts.
Hurl syncopated thirds and ffths
Upon his head and twist his middles-
The knave who stole the sorrarth,.
fiddles!
All. soggarth! sure twas double sin!
Could he not leave violin
To one so lonely as priest?
Behold. thou may'st revenge at least.
II he this way his steps shall wend
Die hard he shall at hand thy friends
Who'll rip his soul with waEner's rid
dies
The rogue who stole thy holy f,ddles,
