she must have changed but little to
leave those of twenty uneftaced at

Marquis of Clanricarde's Irish estates.
Mr.. Duffy explained that he desired
the government to compulsorily ac-

permitting the latter, who absolutely
declines to sell under the land act, to
"betalie himself to some other corne,
of the world, where his extraordinary
talents and unnatural activities will be

THE MASS AN ACTION.
Nothing So consoIins, So Piercing, So
Thrillino.

Cardinal Newman, in his work. Loss

convert, Willis, to speak as follows:
II declare to me nothing is so con-
soling, so piercing, SO thrilling, so
overcoming as the Mass, said as it is
among us. could attend Masses
forever and not be tired. 1t is not a
mere form OF words-it is great
action, the greatest action that can be
on earth. 1t is not the invocation
merely, but if dare use the word, the
evocation of the Eternal. He becomes
present on the altar in flesh and blood.
before whom angels how and devils
tremble; that is? that awful event which
is the scope, and is the Interpretation
Of every part Of the solemnity. Words
are necessary, but as means, not as
ends; they are not merely addresses
to the throne Of grace; they are in
struments Of what is far higher, Of
conservation, Of sacrifice. They hurry
on as if impatient TO fulfill their mis-
sion. Quickly they go, the whole is
quick; for they are all part of one
integral action. Quickly they go; for
they are awful words of sacrifice. they
are a work too great to delay upon:
AS when it was said In the beginning,
What thou doest do quickly Quick
ly they pass: for. the Lord Jesus goes
with them;: as He passed along the
lake i'll the days Of His flesh, quickly
calling first one: and then another.
Quickly they pass: because as the
lightning that shineth from one part
Of the heaven unto the other, SO is
the coming Of the Son of Man.
Quickly they pass; for they are as the
words Of Moses when the Lord came
down In the cloud, calling on the

THE BARRY MEMORIAL.
Jefferson Wrote the Declaration, Barry
Fought for X.

In your remarks on THE Barry Me-
moriaI' you say that though Commo-
dore John Barry has been known in
history as the Father OF the American
Navy" the same title has also been
accorded to John Paul Jones. writes
Martin T. j. Griffin in Il letter to the
editor of the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph.
On closer examination ] think you
will find that Father has been the
title almost universally accorded to
Barry, but tha, Founder has beer
the term applied Of late years to Jones,
and that only because OF its use in the
title of Buell's Life OH Jones-a work
of fiction and not a biogra ply or his
tory. Buell's sta tements to show Jonc.;
the Founder" have no foundation
whatever save his imagination and fac
ulty of invention, AZ any one can read
lily prove by taking his statements and
testing by the Journals of Congress
and other authoritative sources.
Father" came to be applied to Barry
because of the many who were trained
under him who became famous in rla val
! annals OF our Countrywide, Stewart,
Jacob Jones, and others. 1t was not
altogether because he was the first and
last commander of the Continental
navy though that added to the force
i of the appellation of Father

Now that President Roosevelt has
broken the old tradition and has denl-
onstrated that a. vice president can
subsequently be elected president,
there might easily be an honorable
competition among the younger demo-
Gratis Of the south to secure a no,nina-
tion for second place OIL their ticket
If by chance they should ioc successful
and Mr.. Bryan should prove to be an
average president. they would then
have a chance in their own person TO
realize the dream OF their community
by seeing a southern man once more
the president. Worse things might
happen to the country than that. as ev-
erybody knows.
There is distinct differepee OF opin-
ion, however. between Mr.. Bryan and
the southern democrats which is OBJ
vious at every turn. The southern
democrats are today essentially con-
servative. The majority OF them have
forgotten their old free trade training
and are turning more and more to the
protection idea. Even free silver, it
presented as an original proposition.
would not now receive respectful at
tention. The radicalism Of Hearst, the
! municipal ownership ideas OF Dunno,
and, above all. the government own
ersl1ip declaration of Bryan are by no
| means satisfactory to the south.
The statesmen from that section be-
| lieve that Bryan made his government
| ownership pronouncement as q dec
laration merely OF his personal idea,
and that he had no notion Of insisting
upon it becoming party tenet. On
the contrary, they have been assured
by friends of Bryan himself that if the
matter is fairly fought out before the
committee on platform and govern:
Ownership is rejected he will not sulk
in his tent, but will content himself
with the belief that he is d generation
or so ahead Of his party, a position
(which other distinguished democrats
1haYe occupied before Bryan.

Denver that others besides Imboden

resolution was adopted by the two
houses of the General Assembly few
