It appears that an :enterprisinE
printer in Albany, N. Y. whose name
4 publication entitled THE Modem
Catholic Magazine" Despite it's name
ana the picture Of Archbishop ireland
en- its cover, 1t is said to be anti-Cath.
Ole in the extreme. Our eastern con-
temporaries should caution Catholics
against this wolf in Sleeps clothing.
It is said that Rt Rev. Edmund NJ.
Dunno, the new bishop Of Peoria, Ill,
speaks French, German, italian, Pol
ish, Spanish and other languages be- :
sides English. Though Of Irish ex-
tration he does not speak Gaelic. and
it is to be hoped he will soon add II
TO his repertory. AS he knows Greek,
Hebrew and Latin he would have no
difficulty in learning the mellihuous
language Of his forefathers, for Irish
has q close affinity to these tongues.
Mrs. Marion Mulhall, widow Of the
famous Irish statisticion, is an author
o. great distinction. She has recent
ly been appointed omcially to help on
the revision Of the Bible by the church
authorities in Rome-an honor which
nc woman ever received before. She
is the author Of Explorers In the
New World Before and After Column
bus" Referring to her appointment
rall says: "They think 1 have gen
ius for discovering old manuscripts,
for have just discovered some Arab
lar manuscripts with pre-columbian
maps and an old Scandinavian one on
which the new world is distinctively
marked, and the southwestern part
then under the name Irland Mikla
or whiteman's Land" Like Mrs.
Green the historian, Mrs. Mulhall is
or Irish woman who is proud Of her
country.
T. D. Sullivan, the veteran Nation
slist, and poet-laureate of Ireland by
common consent, thinks that John z.
Al t.
ment are right in preferring Birrells
land bill to any reduction in IIlnyd
Georges budget Of the tax on Irish
Nhiskey. T. D. S. is right in think
ing that way. If the Birrell land bill
becomes law, the landlords OF Ire
land must sell their estates to the ten
ants and tyrants like Clanrickard san
carry out no more evictions. The ten
ants will become their own landlords
IL COURSE Of time. Whereas II the tsx
or. whiskey is increased the people
n-oney that would 80 to. the publica.,s
for buying their farms from the land
lords The Irish farmers and labor
ers, as we'll as the town people. nnast
practice self denial and become sober
and Industrious II they ever hope to
become owners of the soil Of their
country. The increase in the tax on
,vhiskey is blessing in disguise.
The city Of Boston has the unique
distinction Of being the only city i'll
the country where an organ Of bigotry
can live. The Boston Citizen surely
Goes not represent the sentiments of
American citizens Of Yankee stock
who are imbued with principles Of civil
and religious libery. The Boston or
gan Of bigotry is the mouthpiece Of
Orange exotics who crossed over from
Canada to pose as pseudo.patriots In
the American cradle Of liberty. This
Orange rag is in fury because nine
states Of the union have already made
October IL public holiday In honor
OF the discovery Of America by Chris
topher Columbus on that day. The
Knights of Columbus is the organisa-
ton whose influence has made the
day legal holiday, and 1t Is only IL
question Of time when the other states
will follow the example Of New York,
New Jersey. Pennsylvania, 1llinois,
Michigan, Colorado. California, Mis-
souri, and Montana. Massachusetts
riay soon follow suit in spite Of the
Poston Citizen. =
