with an extra police rate TO pay for the men
so drafted. but no reduction was allowed
to the counties from which they were

is the usual practice, so that in effect the
Irish taxpayers are paying twice for the

an overwhelming majority OF a resolution
In favor Of making the Irish language a
compulsory subject for matriculation in

1t would seem, 10 doubt, to any one not
acquainted with conditions in ireland that
it would be the natural thing for a ma
tional convention to pass a resolution in
favor Of the preservation and development
q the national language, put when it is
stated that tho Irish hierarchy was united
in opposition to the resolution the signifi-
canoe Of the result may be understood J

party leaders and the managers Of the
party machine were with the bishops, fear

the depth of feeling among the people IN

among whom were many parish priests,
knowing how the people Of the country
felt. threw off the episcopal constrsint ard
voted. with only a dozen or so dissentients'
for the resolution.
Feeling Against Cherries.
The fact Is that the people OF Ireland,
while not wavering IN the slightest degree
in their adherence 70 their ancient religion
and its Representatives are becoming more
and more restless under the clerical dom
inaton in politics. Rightly or wrongly
they feel that the bishops are churchmen
first and Irishmen afterwards. and that
they are sometimes liable to sacrifice a
national advantage 10 gain an advantage
! for the church. 1t Is also felt that the
bishops are less in touch with the people
than the parish priests, and for this reason
| there has been no disposition to curtail the
political activity Of the parish priest, while
there has been a growing opposition to the
political rule Of the bishops
OF course the resolution passed by the
national convention has no binding effect
on the senate Of the new university, which
is largely controlled by the hierarchy. but
