PARNELL'S RELIGION.

One super-sarcastic but ill-informed
writer in the North American has
stated that the late Mr. Parnell was a.
presbyterian. says the Catholic Stan
dard and Times. The statement shows
how little qualified he is to write on
the subject of Irish politics or religion
in Ireland. Mr.. Parnel was a member
OF what was self-styled as "The
Church of Ireland"-that is. the branch
of the English church in Ireland which
after being disestablished and disen-
dowed by Mr.. Gladstone, coolly pro-
ceeded to arrogate to itself a title to
which it had no more claim than it
had to call itself the Church of the
Moon. In fact, it was a Protestant
church. of the Episcopalian brand;
and Mr. Parnell was a member Of 1t
and Of its Synod, by righ. of his DO
sition as landlord. The same
smart" writer endeavored to twist or
ignore our point, that the proof thai
Irish Catholics will not adhere to

morally unfit to lead, whether Catholic
or non-Catholic, lis exemplifled in the
case Of Mr.. Parnell. They did not care
what Mr.. Parnell's religion was; they
only looked to his duplicity in i'm
morality-for he had assured his
friends down to the very last moment
before the rendering of the verdict in
the divorce trial that he would come
out vindicated. No leader, not even
the Catholic O'Connell, was ever so
passionately loved as he. hence their
disappointment was all the more agon-
izing. When Keogh and Sadlier and
the other members of "the Pope's brass
band,'' as the Catholic leaders in Par
Lament were called, were discovered in
their treachery to the peoples cause
in Ireland. the fact of their being

wrath of the people they had betrayed.

Many instances of a like
kind could be furnished from that
typical Catholic country but repetition

that Catholics will support bad man

course. The Catholic Church in Great
Britain and the Catholic Church in
Ireland are two different AFFAIRS"
BY the last statement, of course Mr..
Dillon means that they are two diff
ferent affairs politically. The English
Catholics have always been peculiarly
bitter in their opposition to Irish de-
mands. This position on the part Of
the Duke of Norfolk and his followers
is rather hard to understand, in view
of the position taken by the Irish Ma
tionalists when English Catholic inter-
ests are at stake. On the Educational
Bill, which was of so much Importance

united support, although in so doing
the Irish Nationalist opposed their
own political friends in England. Eng
llsh Catholic publications throw all
their influence against Irish demands.
The attempt OF the English Catholics
resident in England and Scotland will
not succeed. In the cities of London.
Liverpool. Manchester and Birmins-
ham there is a. large Irish Catholic
population. These votes promise to
have more effect ultimately in bring.
ing about Home Rule than Irish votes

ed through the English constituencies
as to enable them to hold the balance
OF power in large group of districts.
The appeal of English Catholics to
these voters to oppose Home Rule
IN the interests of the Catholic Church
will surely result in failure. 1t is un-
fortunate that the appeal partially sue

THE IRON RANGE.

Hlbblng, Mtnn.-The night of July
2 was Hibernian night at Hibbing,
when Owen Cunningham organized a
division of the A. o. H. in the largest
city of the Range. We have not re-
ceived the exact number of charter
members, but learn that it is in the
neighborhood of 10. This is a grand
showing for Mr.. Cunningham in the
few days spent in that town. John
Mahoney, State Insurance Secretary,
T. j. Doyle, State Insurance President,
Fred L. Ryan, County President of
Duluth. and Barney Forrestal of Du-
luth, We're present. Several good
speeches were made and the division
starts out with great prospects. We
have repeatedly called attention in
this column to Hibbing as good A.
o. H. field the past four Years, and to
say that we are delighted that divis-
ion is organized there, is putting it
mild, indeed. We learn that the lead
ing Irish-Americans of IIibbing are
in the ranks of the new division.
The officers are as follows: Presi-
dent, F. L. Bannon. we'll known attor-
ney of Hibbing; vice, Michael McCabe;
Rec. Sec, j. E. Cronin; Fin. and Ins.
Secretary, Irwin Ring; treasurer, J. J.
Cox: sergeant at arms, Patrick Null
holland; sentinel, Frank Lavell; mar
shal, Thos. Kayanagh.
From our knowledge Of these men
and their hustling abilities, we feel
safe in saying that Hibbing will have
about 200 members by September
when they will represent their town at
the state convention at Duluth. At
torney Bannon, the president of this
division, has rendered services to Div.
No. 2 of Eveleth. on many occasions;
also to the auxiliary, and is an Irish
American of the third generation
Frank Lavell is proprietor Of the Pal
ace Hotel. and is typical Irishman.
j. j. Cox is proprietor of the leading
drug store at Hibbing; and lest we
forget we will add that Mike and Pat
Somers rendered great assistance to
Mr.. Cunningham. Mike and Pat are
so we'll known on the Range, it is un-
necessary for us to add word We.
confidently look forward to a grand
increase in the near future. At this
writing Mr.. Cunningham is at Virginia
in the interests of the order, and ex
poets to visit several more towns on
the range. namely, Chisholm Ely, Tow
er, Coleraine, Bovey and possibly BIZ
wabik and Aurora. Mr.. Cunningham
is deserving of assistance from every
loyal 1rishman and Irish American on
the Ranges.

IRISH CATHOLICS IN ENGLAND.

William E. Curtis, the correspondent
for the Chicago Record Herald, is now
travelling in Ireland. Mr.. Curtis has a
habit Of charging the Catholic church
with being responsible for almost
every wrong that exists. He has in
the last few years travelled through
every country in Europe, and he is one
of the few men of intelligence whose
prejudices have survived the enlight-
eminent which usually comes from ex-
tensive travel. But even Mr.. Curtis
finds In the Irish Nationalist party a
force which is working for the good
of Ireland. He has discovered, how
ever, that a quarrel exists between the
Irish Catholics in Ireland and the Irish
Catholics who live in England. We
guish between the Irish Catholics in
England and the English Catholics.
The English Catholics are, as a rule.
Tories and opposed to the demands of
Ireland. Mr.. Curtis says that John
Redmond created sensation at the
annual meeting of the Irish Catholics
of England by vehement attack upon
the English Roman Catholics.
And when I asked John Dillon. the
other leader of the Irish party in
parliament, the significance Of the in
