quence, Intellectual and extravagantly
costly; that it does not enjoy the con-
| fidence of any section OF the popula-
ton; that il is productive of universal
discomfort and unrest; and that 1t is
incapable of satisfactorily promoting
! the material and intellectual progress
of the people; that the reform of the
Irish government is a matter vital to
| the interests of Ireland and calculated
greatly to promote the well-being of
the people OF Great Britain, and in the
opinion of this house the solution of
this problem can only be attained by
giving the Irish people the legislative
and executive control, Of all purely
Irish affairs
In the unequivocal recognition of
these facts by the powerful British
government and, necessarily, by the
great liberal party lies the triumph for
home rule, and a great triumph it I'M
questionabIy is.
The introduction of the bill for the
creation of an Irish Catholic university
is in accordance with the promise con-
tanned in the kings speech at the open
ing of parliament. Unlike his attitude
toward the home rule resolution of the
previous night, Mr.. Balfour, leader of
the conservatives, was conciliatory, if
not sympathetic, and the words of APP
proval he bestowed upon the general
outlines of the measure is a bright
augury of the success that awaits it.
For very many years the right of the
Catholics of Ireland to have univer-
sity of their own has been recognized
by both political parties, aFd it was
only the bitter opposition Of the Or
angemen of the north that stood in the
way of a solution of the question. A
royal commission, appointed some
years ago to inquire into the whole
question of higher education in Ireland,
reported favorably as to the need and
justice of a Catholic university, en-
dowed by the state but up to the pres
ent unfulfilled promises have been tlleII
sole result. Now, however, the vistal
looks brighter, and there seems every
hope that the Birrel bill will pass both
houses unimpaired, and thus remove
one more of the many grievances of the |
Irish people.

ireland scored two great and distinct
triumphs in the British parliament last
week. On Monday night John Red
mond's home rule resolution was car
ried by the overwhelming majority of
l56, and on Tuesday Mr.. Birrell, Irish
chief secretary, introduced, under the
most favorable auspices, the long
asked-for bill establishing in Ireland a
Catholic university.
The benefit to the home rule agita-
ton by the adoption of Mr.. Redmond S
resolution, while not immediate, is one
that must eventually be felt The OBJ
ject of the nationalist leader in intro
ducing it in the house of commons was
TO obtain from the government an un-
equivocal recognition of Ireland's right
to self-government This object Mr..
Redmond attained to the fullest extent.
and now home rule, pure and simple,
is virtually one of the tenets of the
great English liberal party.
No Irish nationalist expected that
the government would promise to in
troduce a home rule bill during this
session Of parliament. With such large
and controversial questions as educa-
ton for England and Wales, a licensing
bill and bills affecting agrarian legis-

strongest planks in the liberal plat
form. By its overwhelming vote on
Monday night the government has
pledged itself to home rule, and bill

IrishwOman Honored by Plus <.

| Nine, Rosa d'Erina has. received a
letter from Rome in which the cardi-
| nal-secretary, Merry del Val, writes
that Plus X is pleased TO send her the
apostolic benediction in connection
with her work on St Joseph's island,
Ontario
There is an interesting story in con-
nection with this honor which has
come to Nine. d'Erina. She is the
talented organist of Holy Rosary
church. and has spent several sum
mers on St. Joseph's island, which lies
in the st. Mary's river. about twenty
five miles from Sault Ste. Marie. In
1901 Nine d'ETina bought property on
the island and she became much in
terested in the islanders. One day an
Indian, 81 years old, come to her for
advice.
For over year Vilatte, the false
archbishop, who tried to establish
new religion in France, had lived on
the island. In 1900 he had gone To
Rome and offered his submission to
the Pope. He was told to retire into
a monastery and do penance, but in
stead he went TO st. Joseph's island
and started a mission among the half
breeds and the Catholics.
The old Indian was aware that
Nine. d Erina was a Catholic and he
wanted to know if it was right for the
people to attend Vilatte's mass. She
told him it was not. and from the su-
perior of the Jesuits at Sault Ste
Marie obtained full history of vii
attes rebellion against the church
She called meeting of the villagers
and read the history. Then she made
them a promise that If Vilatte would
leave the island she would build
chapel of reparation to the Sacred
Heart. Vilatte was sent away, back
to France, and the chapel was COM
menced. BY last fall the framework
was up and mass has already been
said, on the feast of Seven Dolors. 1t
was this work of Nine. d Erina which
brought her the much priced honor
from the Pope.

Mr.. William Hewitt said: when Flor
ence Nightingale went forth to nurse
the wounded soldiers in the Crimea, she
did only a. most commonplace deed, for
the Catholic women of all ranks had
been doing it for ages. That was not
the merit of the thing. The greatness
and vital merit of it was that she in

If youth knew what age would crave,
Youth would then both get and save.
He that would thrive must rise by five,
He that has thriven may lie till seven.
In the same case to others do
AS YOU would they should do to you.
An idler is watch that wants both

stands.

Standing pools soon fill with filth
All habits gather by unseen degrees.
AS brooks make rivers, rivers run to

He who plays with guineas in his
youth may have to want for farthings

To be proud of learning is great ig-

himself worse.
