p. O'Sullivan, member of the
Gaelic League, Of Cork City, has per-
fected a system Of shorthand adapted
to the sound of the Irish language. 1t
is based on Pitman's photography and
will prove equal to all the purposes
Of verbatim reporting. The Irish Ian
guage can be reported easily, as COM
pared with the English. The English
is barbarous language, as Lord By
ron called it, in comparison with the
mellifous language Of the Gael. 1t has
only twenty-six letters to represent
about forty sounds or more, and hence
the difficulty in becoming a correct
speller in the Saxon tongue. The IT.
ish has only sixteen letters that have
a distinct sound of their own, and
the spelling of words is comparatively
easy to the learner. A good Irish schol-
ar can report an Irish speaker with
facility. O'sullivan's shorthand in IT.
ish is the first of the kind ever in
vented in modern times. We think
the ancient Irish had a shorthand sys-
tenn of their own, like the Greeks and
Romans.

The Irish Standard refers to the St.
Paul Pioneer Press as that staunch
Republican mouthpiece." It must be
that the Standard editor doesn't read
the Pioneer Press very carefully

Well, what do you expect? Is not
the Irish Standard also a Democratic
paper?-Midway News. Yes, we are
Democratic paper, but when did the
P. P. become Democratic? The fact
that it condemned the new tariff bill
and showed that the duty Of 80 cents
bushel on wheat is nothing but a
delusion and snare may make 1t
Democratic in the opinion Of our carp
ing contemporaries, but we believe
the p. p. is now, and always has been,
Republican. 1t truly says that the
price Of wheat from all exporting
countries is fixed in Liverpool. That
ic the head and front of its offending.
It thinks that the Payne-Aldrich bill
is monstrosity. The best Republicans
Of Minnesota approve Of the attitude
Of the Pioneer Press on the tariff and
other political problems. 1t is preach
ing the right doctrine and so are we.
1r that sense 1t may be Democratic.

Among the American visitors in the
gallery of the House Of Commons dur
ing the debate on the Irish land bill
was w. Burke Cochran, who happened
to be in London on business. He paid
strict attention to the argument made
by John Dillon, one of the best de-
baters in parliament, and compliment
ed him on his grand effort in behalf
of the Irish tenantry. The Irish party
offered a seat to Mr.. Cochran some
time ago. but he declined to enter
parliament on the ground that he is
an American citizen, and for that rea-
son could not take an oath Of allegi-
ance to the British crown without do
ing violence to his conscience. The
Irish party would have a splendid ad-
vocate for Irish rights, in Bourke

would fall on deaf ears unless there

Where in the whole range of eccles-

very remarkable fact that not one OF
the Protestant denominations has
canonized Luther, Calvin, Latimer,

do we not hear Of st. Luther's

church Of that holy and mortified

see how Protestant sects lay claim ia

noring their own founders.
And what is also strange is that
many Of the ministers, preaching In
churches named after saints. are par
ticularly careful, when addressing
their congregations to omit the title

to give the Apostles the titles the his

to say Mr.. Paul or Mr. Mathew, il
they feared to be too "papisticar' in
using the word saint. Why then Call

No Protestant Saints.

Among the many strange things
nom Catholic churches nothing ap-
pears to us more singular than calling
their ecclesiastical buildings after
Catholic saints, says the Intermoun-
tain Catholic Of Salt Lake City. The
Episcopal church retains a calendar
Of saints-not devotion to them-thus
holding the shadow without the SUBJ
stance, and as result, one may not
feel so much surprised by the action
of the Episcopalians in giving saints
names to their churches. But why
are these names associated with their
temples? Not surely to honor the
saints, for one of the thirty mine arti-
cles forbids this compliment; nor can
1t be for the purpose of asking the
intercession of sanctihed souls, as the
Episcopalians. barring the High
Church party. do not believe in pray
ers to the saints. Then why do they
give saints names to their churches?
1t seems to US but another example
of the many Inconsistencies to he
found in the beliefs and practice OF
the Protestant Episcopal church.
But what shall we say of Presbv-
terrain and Methodist churches carry
ing the names OF Catholic saints? "St,
Andrews "St. Matthew'S" "St.
Paurs," etc., etc. These holy and
apostolic men were canonized by tho
Church of Rome, which created the
name Saint" This is. indeed most
extraordinary: Where did the sect get
these saints? And for what end OF
special purpose Is any of their
churches named after any Catholic
saint? ~ - -.

Americans and Irish.

Nearly all Americans are more or
less Irish. If they are not Irish by
blood they are by temperament. So
any journey to Europe pretending to
be a visit to the home of our fore
fathers, would be a miserable failure
!: it omitted Ireland. For Ireland's
influence is one of the big things in our
life. And one must come to Ireland to
realize it. To superficial observers,
such as we are in the very nature of
the case, Ireland seems to be so much
like America that one wonders whether
or not England or Ireland is the real
fatherland, writes William Allen White
III the Emporia Gazette. In the first
place, we Americans talk Irish as 1t
is spoken in Dublin, not English as it
is spoken in London. The American
can come nearer understanding tho
common people of Dublin than the
common people Of England. Whatever
accent there is between the three Of
US English, Irish and Americans-is
the English. The Irish language is full
of words that the Americans have
adopted in preference to English words
meaning the same thing. For instance
the first hardware store" we saw in
Europe we found in Ireland, though
the "iron-monger" WAS all over Eng
land. Then the Irish cooking Is much
like the American cooking.
The Irish salt their butter. The whole
range of Irish cooking reminds us, at
least, of home cooking. We have eaten
more potatoes with their Jackets on ii
week in Ireland than in four months
IN Europe. and by the same token they
were better than a cycle in Cathay."
The Irish bread tastes like American
bread. and the Irish bacon is more like
ours than is the English bacon. Then,
again, America is more easy going than
England. We are bit untidy and COM
Portable, as Ireland is England can
never have been our mother country.
She is a fussy old maid. Her hedges
are trimmed; her streets are clean;
her roads are kept; she obeys the law
because it is the law. She keeps
books with the world. England is prim
She pretends to be much more vir-
tuous than she really is. While we
and the Irish-we are not above wink
irg a wandering eye; we are good
natured, pleasant-spoken and obiiginy,
and on the whole we are little more
virtuous than we seem. So Ireland, in
its influence upon our civilization, is
more than strain Of blood. Ireland
is a temperament. Therefore we ar
rive at the first proposition in this
paragraph-nearly all Americans are
more or less Irish.

Resolutions Of cende lsnee.

Resolutions Of coincidence anent the
death of the late Bishop Joseph Cot
ter were adopted by the st. Rose of
Lima society of Winona, which met
with Mrs. John Ryan recently. This is
the flrst meeting held by the society
since early summer, the death Of the
bishop having occurred during the
summer adjournment Of the society.
The resolutions in full are as follows:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Our Heav-
emily Father to call to his reward our
dear bishop, we humbly bow to Gods
holy will. and
Whereas, The friendly relations
long held as an organizer, and his
words Of encouragement and inspira-
ton to the members render it proper
that We should place on record our
esteem and appreciation Of his exam
pie and teaching in behalf of charity
and sobriety. Therefore be it
"Resolved, That in the death of
our dear friend who was always ac-
tive and jealous in his unself1sh de-
votion to duty this society and COM
munity have suffered great loss OF
a true friend. And be it further
Resolved, That the memory of eur
dear bishop be honored and revered
by spreading upon the records of our
society a copy Of these resolutions.

orestss A. 1rownson.

DR.. Orestes A. Brownson, one Of the
most noted American converts to
Catholicity, and the superior Of EN-
erson as a thinker according to Lord
Brougham, wrote as follows in 1875:
Il have recently received a letter
signed "A Catholic telling me that
the bishops and clergy have no conf
dence in me, they will repudiate me.

when brought to the test, to submit
to their tyranny. The letter goes On
to exhort me to. open = correspond
ence with DR.. Dollinger, to repudiate
the Council Of the Vatican and to turn
the Review to the defense Of the old
Catholics By so doing, 1t assures
me I may become immensely popular,
limited circulation-and, it might have
added, belle all my convictions and
the whole Catholic faith, and damn
my own soul. II suggestions such as
this could ever have moved me, I
should never have become Catholic.
I did not seek admission into the
Church for the sake Of wealth, honors
or popularity. If I am-as I know !
am-measurably unpopular even with
Catholics, I can say truly that have
never sought popularity, but have
rather despised it. Yet I have received
more marks of confidence from our
venerable bishops and clergy than
have deserved, more honor than de-
sired, and have been even more popu-
lar with Catholics than ever expected
to be. Speak of wealth? Why, what
could I do with it, standing as I do
on the brink of my grave? The gen.
crosby of Catholics, in an annui@; =
reasonably secure, has provided FOR
my personal wants. What
do want with wealth? What do I
care for popularity. which never
sought, and on which I turned my
back when not yet of age? I have,
and 1 desire to have, no home out OF
the Catholic church. with which am
more than satisfied, and which I love
as the dearest, tenderest and most
affectionate mother. My only amb!-
ton is to live and die in her commune
ion."
