Bishop Montgomery of San Francis
co, died in that city last week. From
the Mirror of that city we take the
following brief sketch of his life:
George Montgomery was born of a
family noted among the sturdy Cath
olic stock of old Kentucky, family
which as given the country and CAL
ffornia some admirable types Of Chris
tan heroes in Church and State. His
father was a brother OF the Hon. Zach
Montgomery, q towering figure in the
annals Of the Republic and of our own
commonwealth. The future Archbishop
first saw the light of day in Daviess
county, Kentucky, on December 80,
1S41. After receiving u thorough pre-
liminary education in his native state,
young Montgomery entered st. Mary's
Seminary, Baltimore, Nd. where he
concluded his theological course. Just
thirty years.. to the day, after his birth,
he was raised to the priesthood by
Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Balti-
more. Father Montgomery had studied
for the Archdiocese Of San Francisco,
and on leaving the seminary he came
directly to this city, where he became
Secretary to the sanity Archbishop
Alemany, for whom he entertained the
most affectionate esteem, and whose
memory he held always in tenderness.
When Archbishop Riordan succeeded
Msgr. Alen1any as provincial, Father
Montgomery continued in the Office of
private secretary until his appointment
as Coadjutor to Bishop Mora, Of Mon
terey and Los Angeles. His consecra-
ton as titular Bishop Of Tenui, with
right of succession to the See of Los
Angeles, took place April s, 1894, at st.
Mary's Cathedral, this city, and was
performed by Most Rev. Archbishop
Riordan, assisted by Bishops Scanlon
and Brondel. He became Bishop of the
southern diocese on the resignation OF
the See by Bishop Mora, June 20, 1896,
and was transferred to San Francisco
as Coadjutor to Archbishop Riordan
in October 1908. Among his, great
works i'll the diocese was the forma-
ton of the League of the Cross, a soci-
city for the cultivation of temperance
among young men, which has accom-
plished untold good for the Catholic
youth OF San Francisco and vicinity.

oy the Gaelic League is bound to
orlns about good results. Everyone
knows, however, that whatever gov
ernmental changes are to be brought
about must be obtained from the Eng
llsn parliament. Ireland may become
lndustrially independents; it may be-
come more enthusiastically Irish
than 1t has been for hundreds Of years
ana yet those things alone could not
change the government now provided
for 1t. The Irish people everywhere
realize that their only hope for sue
cess depends upon persuading u ma
Jority of the English and Scotch peo-
pie that it would be better for all con-
cerned TO grant Irish demands and,
when that time comes, those demands
VIII have to be passed upon by the
representatives of the people. 1t would
be hard to imagine more effective
force to carry on the agitation than
the splendid organization which the
Irish Parliamentary Party now main.
tains. The Irish people on every occa-
sion that is presented to them re-af-
firm their faith and confidence in that
party. The sentiment Of the Irish in
America and Australia is best evil
denced by the manner in which they
give material support to that party.
The Irish ENJOYS who are now in Au-
stralia have already collected $4,000
for the support and maintenance of the
Irish members Of parliament. The
United States OH many occasions has
contributed much larger sums to
the same cause. South America
does it's share. Every country
to which the people of Ireland have
been exiled show in this substantial
way their undying confidence in the
men who are fighting the mother
country's parliamentary BATTLES,
There should be no mistake about
the relations of the Irish Nationalist
Party and tho Gaelic League. Both
are enthusiastically working, not as
opposing forces, but as independent
movements, for the political, Industrial
and intellectual regeneration OF Ire
land and its people.

Budapest has lost one of its interest
ing street characters in tho Rev. Franz
Gerach, the begging priest. For fifty
years he had no lodging, sleeping In
railway waiting rooms and telegraph
offices, from which the officials refused
to drive him. Just before he died he
sent for IL priest and told him that he
had saved 100000 crowns, and this
money is to be devoted to Catholic

LUMBER COMPANY LOSES
Its Suit in Fight for Minnesota Lands

Washington, Jan. 15.-The decision
of the United States circuit court of
appeals for the Eighth circuit was
affirmed by the supreme court of the
United States yesterday in the case Of

the Northern Pacific Railway company

fact that at the time that the Northern
Pacific made it's selection, this land

THE slNN FEM POLICY.

In another column OF this weeks
issue is a description by an Ameri-
can correspondent OF the Chicago
Chronicle of the work that is being
done in Ireland by Gaelic League
and kindred organizations for the re-
generation of Ireland. The cores
pondent refers to the movement as
broader, grander and more self-rcliant
than any movement ever inaugurated
in Ireland. We rejoice with all we'll.
wishers Of the Irish cause in the sue
cess of the policy Of "Sinn Fem (for
ourselves) which in concise language
means a boycott by the Irish of every
thing English. 1t means Il movement
through which the Irish are educated
to usc only goods made in Ireland. 1t
is Il movement by which the Irish arc
to be lead back to the language, liter
at,lre and customs of their forefathers
1t is in IL word, movement to make
Ireland Irish.
We think, however, that the CORE.
spondent has obtained Il wrong inn
preston of the movement in respect
to its attitude towards the Irish Par
liamentary Party. The Gaelic League
has always maintained that it is an in
dependent movement in furtherancc
Of the Irish cause; that it is not sub.
stitute for or in opposition to that
carried on by the Parliamentary Party.
1t could never have succeeded to the
extent that it has if the people in Ire
land believed it to be a substitute for
the nationalist program. Douglas
Hyde and his co-workers would never
have enlisted the sympathy Of the
Irish people in the United States for
their movement if it were in any man
ner antagonistic to the parliamentary
leaders.
Without doubt the Gaelic League is
doing a great deal toward the re-
demption Of Ireland 1t is teaching the
people to be self-reliant and self de.
pendent. 1t is bringing to their at
tention the great loss sustained by the
Irish people when they abandoned

uNlTING The PARTY.

There is Il tendency in many quar-
ters to keep up the destructive plan.
Of uniting the Democratic party by
forcing all those who do not believe In
the most radical policies out of the
party. This method has been con-
tinucd SO long that the Democratic
party, as national organization, has
been completely paralyzed. 1t is only
in the South that there remains a
Democratic party capable of delivering
electoral votes or electing United
States senator's. The fact that the
South is still Democratic is due en-
tirely to the race question. For more
than Il decade struggle has been go
ing on within the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party and has SO completely
monopolized the attention of the party
that no formidable opposition has been
offered to the Republicans. After the
fourth of next March there will be
only one Democratic United States
senator from the North. This is a
sorry spectacle for a party, which f1f-
teen years ago, had a formidable rep
resentation from Northern states. Still
the Democratic doctors are urging
out of the party all those who disagree
with tho most radical utterances Of
| its most radical members. Tho views
which are held by these men are i'll
direct opposition to time honored prin-
| ciples of the party. The men Who arc
advocating them now would not be
recognized as Democrats by such men
as Seymour, Wright Tilden, Thurman,
Hendricks. Yet these new apostles OF
y Democracy delight in daily wedding
out Of the party Democrats who
learned their politics from the lips of
the great leaders named above.
Senator Tillman was right when he
said in the senate a few days ago, in
reply to Senator Patterson OF Colo

NOT A NATIONAL CHURCH.

Archbishop Ireand's lecture upon
the situation in France has attracted
attention the world over. This is 80
because the Archbishop showed more
intimate knowledge Of the real situa-
ton than is usual among American
Catholics, or even among the French
themselves. The central idea in the
Archbishop's treatment of the subject
was that France has always been in
tensely national In Franco the State
is and always has been everything
While France is Il Republic, it is so
only i'm name. While the people are
supposed to govern themselves, it is
only a supposition. They arc more
thoroughly governed than the people
of centralized monarchies. Having this
idea in mind it is easier to understand
how tho Catholics OF France submit
to interference in religious matters by
the State. To tho Frenchman it does
not appear at all surprising that the
State should attempt to regulate the
practice of religion 10 the American
Catholic the question of when and
where and how he shall attend mass
is u matter that he has TO settle with
his own conscience. 1t never would
occur to an American Catholic that the
State could make the slightest claim
to regulate matters of that kind. The
Frcncllman, on the other hand, has
been educated to look to the State for
everything. Thc Church in France has,
in one sense, been national church.
just as it was III Germany. French
Catholics never fully realized that the
Catholic Church was Il world church,
not subject to the matter OF religious
practice to the demands of this or that
government. They will learn now the
real, true meaning Of the word "Catho-
lic." They will learn that tho Church
is not dependent upon the government
for existence. In the period since the
so-called separation of the State and
Church i'll France. the French people
have had substantial lessons taught to
them to the effect that they are men,
bers of a Church that exists in every
country and that tho Church of France
means nothing, except that it is tho
Catholic Church, performing it's func-
tons in territory civilly governed by
France.
A few days ago Francis Joseph of
Austria contributed 100000 and the
Hungarian Cardinal Vaszary q similar
sum for the relief Of the French clergy.
The Duke of Norfolk, the leader Of the
English Catholic party and other Eng
fish mobiles are large, contributors. Will
the French clergy and the French Cath
olics learn that the Catholic Church in
France does not depend upon an infidel
government for it's existence? Ger
tainly they must soon know that they
are a portion of the Catholic Church
and that the Church of France is Moth
ing different from the Church in every
other country. The sympathy and
support that is flowing in to France
ought to teach French Catholics that
they are a part Of the mighty whole

French Catholics. They never seemed
to understand that the Church in one
