RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

1t can scarcely be said that the
election returns Tuesday night caused
many surprises unless they showed
more decisive victory for the Demo
Gratis than party leaders anticipated
Events of the past month pointed to
Democratic control of the house and
not even the most cheerful reports
from Republican headquarters could
convince the country of the contrary.
IL Tuesdays election proves anything
lit shows that the best tariff law
ever passed" is not good enough for
the American people and that explain
ations and assurances on the part of
the men responsible for it have been
in vain. 1t was a decisive reputation
of the party in power on account of
it's platform promises.
The most significant outcome Of the
campaign was the singing rebuke adj,
ministered to the leadership of Theo-
dore Roosevelt After campaigning for
weeks with all his old time vigor in
New York state to elect the man
whom he succeeded in nominating for
governor. Mr.. Roosevelt failed utterly.
Mr.. Dix, the Democratic nominee re-
ceivcd the support of the people not
only in New York city but in every
part of the state, thus proving con-
clusively that his election was not due
to the power of the Tammany ma
chine but to the refusal of the peo-
pie to follow the leadership of Colonel
Roosevelt And not only in New York
was the colonel rebuked He made
personal attacks on Baldwin of Con-
necticut and Harmon of Ohio and they

In local politics the mayoralty con-

Ollie Church..


Ollie Church..
OF more than ordinary significance
are the words of the Mayor of Toxic
delivered before Japanese audience
in San Francisco in which he praised
the work of the Catholic Church In
part he said:
Last year Or. Anezaki Masaha, pro-
lessor of comparative religion at the
University of Toxic, made a journey
through Europe in order to become
better acquainted with the Catholic
Church and her religious orders. In
the course of a lecture on the results
of his observations he declared that,
to the best OF his knowledge, "the
Catholic Church is the most power
full, most perfect and the most SUI
blime institution with which the his
tory OF mankind is acquainted" Be-
cause of it's insistence on the prin-
ciple of authority, he added, the
Catholic religion Is the one to be rec
commended to the Japanese. He then
spoke with reverential admiration of
the saints, whose ethical ideals were
indispensable, especially in an age so
strongly tinged with materialism as
ours. "a saint" he said, sis a neces-
sary factor even in social progress.
The silent but mighty influ-
ence which goes out from the reli-
gious orders, and the services they
have done to society are incalculable. .
The study of the personality and
the life work of ST. Francis of Assist
made a deep impression on DR.. Ma
saba. He obtained permission from
the Vatican to visit the mother house
OF the Poor Clares in Rome. The
mother superior he described as a
woman of great enlightenment"
who discussed the deepest questions
with the most touching simplicity.
He also visited several houses of the
LaZarlsts, DOminicans, Benedictines
and Franciscans. Il found the life
within the cloister walls,' he writes,
radiant with joy beyond expectation.
In certain class of books we read
much about the corruption of the
monasteries. 1t will be we'll to meet
such accusations with distrust. as
they are generally made by apostate
members. The pleasant, wide-awake
character and the open-heartedness of
the religious with whom l became
acquainted impressed me most favor
ably. have found many good friends
amongst them, and I correspond with
some of them still. If We look only
at the Franciscan monasteries we feel
that the spirit of Christianity is by
no means approaching dissolution. On
the contrary, if we look at Buddhism
we see with regret that it's once -four
ishing monastic life has woefully de-
clined."

Pass This on to Your Neighbor.

Rev. P. J. Casey, S. j., is a leader
of one of the Jesuit missionary bands.
Here are Father Casey's views on the
Catholic press:
Let it be laid down as a first prin-
ciple that in every Catholic family
there should be at least one Catholic
weekly. Let it be laid down as a
second principle that this Catholic
weekly should be selected according
to the tastes and requirements of the
family. Let it be laid down as a
third principle that when the tastes
and requirements of a family are diff
Catholic weekly in that family. Do
not talk about expense. The price of
most of our Catholic papers is only
five cents-the price, let me say plain
ly-of one glass of common drink
Cannot man omit one glass of drink
during the week, and bring home a
Catholic paper on Saturday evening
to his Catholic family? Or can he
not refrain from one glass of stronger
drink for which he pays ten cents,
and bring home another Catholic
weekly? If man has any real de-
sire to support the Catholic press,
money will not be an obstacle in his
way. The poor man finds means OF
getting his five cents to spend on the
Sunday secular paper, perhaps for the
sake of its .colored comic supplement
"a supplement which not long ago,
at banquet of six hundred repre-
sentatives of the press in New York
City, was declared by one of their
principle speakers to be "damnable
sheet, when it was not puerile." The
same speaker went on to say he Won
dered if the men who published such
a supplement ever let it fall into the
hands of their own children. Still,
for these colored pages and other
concomitant paper the poor man, the
father of family, is willing to pay
five cents on Sunday morning. No!
If a Catholic has any real desire for
Catholic news. or what is more i'm
portant, if he has any real desire for
the advancement of Catholic interests,
the cost of a Catholic paper will
cause him no concern.
Remember, then, that the work of
the Catholic press is the work of
Christ. 1t is a work carried on for
the spread of the gospel, and for the
salvation Of the souls for which Christ
died. Therefore. if we have any real
love for Christ, it is a work we should
help in every way in our power.
You help the work of the mission.

We shall be plunged into the most
momentous and exciting general cleo
ton in the history OF England. In
either case Ireland is bound to win"
"We demand an Irish Parliament for
Irish affairs and subject only to the
Irish people. Less than that we do
not ask and less ,han that we shall
not accent. They ask us to demand
more. And | answer, in the words OF
Parnell: Let us get this first and
then demand more We do not set a
limit on the march OF the nation, but
as practical men we want to see in
our own life time that measure OF
independence which Great Britain has
already given 81 of it's states"
These are plain and sensible words
spoken in all sincerity 1t is not a
radical view nor the view of one who
is willing to concede the principles on
which he stands for nominal victory.
Mr.. Redmond is fighting the battle OF
Ireland in good faith in spite OF the
peevish diatribes of few ,lissenters
who would fain be leaders.
In closing his speech Mr. Redmond
said:
To-day the democracy OF England
Scotland and Wales is united with
Ireland for the abolition Of the House
of Lords, so | say to you that we are
on the eve of Home Rule.
Lift up your hearts. Your mother
country has weathered che worst OF
the storm and the dawn Of a new day
is breaking"
These words Of hope from the lips
of one who has been in the thick OF
the fight for so many years are en-
couraging. The Irish leader is not the
man TO arouse false hope. All signs
point to the dawn of new era in Ire
land.

o'Donovan Rosa Near Death.

ODonovan Rosa, famous for half
century in the struggle for Ireland's
freedom. once leader of the Fenians,
is so seriously i'll at his home in New
Brighton, l.. l., that there is little hope
of his recovery. He is almost so years
old, and his physical organization has
broken down under the strain of years
and hardships, but his spirit is as
young as ever
F'ifty-five years ago Rosa joined
the Young Ireland movement His
mother, his brothers and sisters emf
grated to Philadelphia, and he was
left alone at Skibereen. In the course
of short time he was a leader in
the patriotic movement sweeping over
the country and famed by the F'enian
leaders.
In 1858 he was initiated into full
membership in the Irish Revolutionary
first term of Imprisonment in Cork
Jail. In 1868 his own country got too
hot to hold him. and he came to New
York for a visit. He returned to Ire
land, became involved in an agrees
sive movement against the govern
ment and was arrested.
From 1866 to 1871 Rosa was in Jail.
The hardship he suffered would have
killed one OF less physical strength
and moral courage. In 1871 he was
banished from Great Britain and her
possessions.
Rosa was one OF the most pictur-
esque of the Fenians. He was a ply
steal force man at. all times and had
scant sympathy with those who sought
for and gained compromise. He was
no less active in this country than in
Ireland in spreading the seeds of re-
volt. He published newspaper, wrote
books and travelled and lectured. The
edict of Punishment on Rosa was
lifted in 1891, and soon after that he
returned to Cork, where he was made
clerk of the county council at COM
Portable salary. Queen Victoria as one
of her numerous jubilee favors, grant,
ed Rosa a full pardon and he was
free to live in his native land. Dur
ing recent years he has been a men,
Der of the United Irish League.
But his long residence in New York
had changed him and Ireland was
changed, too. The atmosphere Of Cork
was not congenial to the old firebrand,
and he returned to New York.

The department will be headed Our
Home Rule Fund" No subscription
will be too small and none too large
to be acknowledged with the name of
the donor. In so far as space permits
We will publish the letters received.
The object OF this venture is to give
to those who are interested in the
work of the Irish Parliamentary party
an opportunity to contribute whatever
they feel that they are able to give to
the cause. At the present time the
party is facing grave crisis. lndica-
tons are that an election will be held
in January. The expense Of conduct
ing an election is enormous. Then
there is the added expense of proyid-
ing a nominal salary for the members
of Parliament which must come out
Ol tne party S TundS since there is no
salary connected with the office. In
view of these demands it is evident
that without funds the party will be
helpless, and that at a time when it
might otherwise be in position to
force it's demands.
We, therefore, ask all who are in
terested in promoting the cause which
the Irish Parliamentary party has
espoused to consider this matter and
give what financial aid they can to-
ward the work. All contributions re-
ceived will be promptly acknowledged
through our columns and duly re-
mitted to the party's treasurer. We
believe that in this way Il creditable
sum can be added to the war chest"
Whatever the amount contributed it
will be so much gain FOR the cause.

PRAISE FOR CATHOLIC CHURCH

1t is refreshing to see the Catho-
lie Church receive kindly considera-
ton now and then from those outside
her pale. Too often the barrier of
prejudice prevents good men from
voicing their admiration. They feel
+, that to say kind word about the
Church is to make a concession which
they cannot afford to make. And so
it is that we are more than pleased
at tributes such as appeared in o
recent issue OF the Christian Regis
ter (Unitarian. Commenting on the
attitude of the Catholic Church to-
ward modernism this publication dis
agrees with the common Protestant
Judgment and holds that the position
of the Catholic Church is entirely con-
sistent and the only logical position
1t could take. The history of the
Church, the article maintains, is such
that 1t will rather run the risk of
ruin than come to the terms of modern
heretics. No sounder Judgment than
this could be expressed Continuing
the Christian Register says:
The Catholic Church is NO coward,
as the history Of the Reformation
shows. 1t will stand, as it stood then,
and as it must stand, or lose it's right
to stand at all, upon it's belief that it
is founded upon the divine warrant of
Christ, and the gates OF hell shall not
prevail against it. None OF us could
respect this Church if it did other
wise. 1t is the man who
tries to act as a liberal while hold
ing his place with churchmen, who
cries. peace. peace" when there can
be no peace, but sword, who is all
things to all men if by any means
he may gain over some in way which
Saint Paul never would have an
proved. that we have to watch. There
are plenty of Them but so much the
more must we honor those who fight
us fairly and hold their flag where
all men can see it"
However common such views NAV
be. and it is safe to say they are not
uncommon among non-Catholics, they
are seldom SO frankly expressed After
catering to popular fancies for four
hundred years the world is beginning
to realize that so far from solving the
great social questions Professionalism is
only adding to the chaos. The lat
ter, like the mast OF ship, trembles
and tlutters in every breeze while
Catholicity, like the ballast slowed
away in the hull, is rocked but lit
tie by the severest storm.

THE CHURCH IN PORTUGAL,

The work that is being done in
Portugal in the name OF liberty is
nothing less than an exercise of revo-
lutionary power by the anti-clerical
party which consists largely of Free
lnasons. The first action taken by
the so-called republic was to Danish
religious orders and confiscate their
property. Converts and monasteries
have been attacked and looted.
The avowed object of the resolution
is plumber. The men who are at the
head Of the present government are
men who have been most prominent
III Freemasonry. DR.. Machado who
is the leading spirit of the revolution
was at one time Grand Master of the
Freemasons of Portugal. He and his
ilk rejoice in an opportunity to sup
press the religious orders, to hound
priests and nuns from the country
and to divide the spoils accruing from
their murderous procedure. I'VE shall
make all essential liberties respected
they say, land shall Danish all
monks and nuns in accordance with
our free secular laws Such, in a
word, is the regime in Portugal
Monks and nuns are to be banished
in accordance with the free laws
OF the new republic or rather the new
Masonic government. Thus in it's be-
ginning the Portuguese republic has
identified itself with pillage and
slaughter such as has not been wit
messed in the civilized world for
many day. The work of debauch-
cry carried out by revolutionary pow
er under the guise of an attempt TO
restore to the people their rights is
a, preposterous insult flung in the
face of the governments of Europe
1t is an example OF anarchy making
the laws which legalize it's own gi-
gantic crimes.
The Church in Portugal is unfortu-
nate. 1t is undergoing a persecution
paralleled only by that which the
Church in Ireland endured in penal
times. Monks and nuns are being
banished at the point Of the sword
and sacred edifices are being desc
Grated and pillaged. How long the
enemies of the Church will be al
lowed to wallow in the mire of their
sacrilegious deeds cannot be conjec-
tured. Unfortunate Portugal will yet
pay the penalty of it's crime 1t is
blighted and blackened before the
world but the eyes of it's own evil
doors, blinded by frenzy, have not
caught the image of their own dis
graceful plight. Anarchy is in the
saddle and the Church in Portugal
must suffer-
But the Church has suffered in
other countries only to be strength
ened and purified by the ordeal. 1t
has felt the hand of oppression in
every age and in almost every coun-
try in the world In Ireland it has
witnessed royal edicts of persecution,
1t has seen days. of Dissertation ana
spoliation. But the power of crown
and the malicious designs OF hostile
people were unable to check it's prog
ress. Today it is triumphant, recog-
nized by the power which once sought
to annihilate it. So it will be with
the Church in Portugal. The trying
times through which it is now going
will arouse all the latent energy
which it possesses and in time it
will compel the respect of it's quon-
dam oppressors.
