Year Of the "sis Wind"

Not alone in ireland is that night
spoken of with a feeling which ap-
proaches to awe and reverence, but in
every land the old men and women
who still speak of Ireland as their
motlerland will talk of "the Night of
the Big Wind" as if their homes were
perched on one of the Connacht head
lands or situated on one Of the smil-
ing reaches of a Munster valley.
James Kelly, in the Chicago Tribune,
thus gives particulars respecting Little
Christmas night, Jan. 6, 1S39-the
night of the Big Wind"-and the re-
membranes of it which are still enter
tained by veteran Irish Americans.
This historic event has been cele-
brated by Irishmen the world over
with story and song. In Chicago, as
in every other American city, many
an Irish family gathered around the
hearthstone and listened to the thrill
ing tales related by the father or
the mother of :''the Night Of the Big
Wind" Some Of the narrators, Of
course, were too young on that fearful
night to be able now to treasure an
exact or even a dim remembrance of
the event, but the story has been
handed down from father to son. and
from mother to daughter. The follow
ing is narrative of the memorable
night as told by Michael White:
81 was two yels yeA rs ma at the time,
and, Of course, ',sss stoo young to have
personal recollection Of the event.
but often heard my father and mother
tell the story. Ii was little Christmas
night, Jan. 6, 1889, that the Big Wind
swept over the greater part of the
province of Munster, doing incalculable
damage. The counties Of Kerry, Cork,
Limerick, Tipperary, and Glare,
through which the Big Wind trav-
ersed, were devastated. Hundreds Of
thatched roofs on the houses were
ripped off by the wind and carried
miles distant. My fathers house was
unroofed, and the next day they found
part of the roof in bog seven miles
away. 1t was the greatest wind ever
known in ireland. Although the GEN.
trail and eastern parts Of Ireland were
visited by the wind, the damage was
confined mostly to Munster and Con-
nacht. The gale came in from the At
lantic, first striking the heads of
Kerry, and then dipping down into
Cork. Everything before it was laid
to waste. Blessed candles were burn
ing in the homes Of everybody, the
candles left over from Christmas.
That no lives were lost was believed
to be due to the fact that the candles
were lighted in honor of the closing
night of the Christmas festival"

appeared. She waited till the early
and middle age heresies came and
went; she waited till her enemies of
the sixteenth century passed out. She
waited for the emperor Napoleon to
pass like mighty shadow across the
stage. She is waiting and will wait
till Thomas Evergreen Watson passes
and his voice shut off for ever by the
skeleton hand Of death. She is the
only institution on the face of the
earth that can wait, and always tri-
umphs by waiting. This power of
waiting is not natural; it is superna-
tural, because her Divine commission
runs till the end of human life on
earth.

Demagogues.

The cheapest, nearest, and handiest
brick of denunciation that can be
thrown at an opponent nowadays is the
word "demagogue," says La Follettes
If the arguments of the man against
you are strong and pointed, and to
answer those arguments would take a
lot Of hard work, research and study
don't bother with working so hard to
answer him. Do the easy and FASH
ionable thing, that is, denounce him as
a self seeking demagogue
Two kinds Of men use this word
'demagogue." First is the lazy, fool
ish man who has not taken the time
to work, read and think and find out
whether there are some real arguments
to hurl at the man he is fighting. Sec
ond, there is the man who has looked
In the books and read the papers and
done a lot Of hard thinking and found
that there are no real arguments that
can be brought up against the opposi-
tion. Both these men cry "demagogue,"
postured meanwhile in an attitude of
alarm, both hands held toward the high
heavens in dread.
One man there is not included within
this classification. That is the man
who cries "demagogue" from habit. He
has heard it and read 1t so often that
he feels certain kind Of public utter
ance is inadequate without the warm
ing breath of the word "demagogue." !"
Some aspirants for repute as spellbind-
ers feel dash Of slander, strange in
timations Of the hideous and secret,
and kind Of dramatic thou art the
man" touch, in the use of the word
"demagoue."
These men are behind the process
sion. They do not know that this word
"demagogue" has been called in. II
no longer has any Of the stage prop.
critics Of denunciation. The first re.
quisite of success In politics is to gel

versity, she would dry her eyes, jump
to her feet, and dance q Jig in the
middle of the room to cheer herself
up and prove to herself that she still
had her courage. 1t is in the Irish

saw all over Ireland, did not provo

erty. Moreover, the Irish people are
doing much more than the English
people seem to be doing to overcome
one source of poverty. They are
drinking loss and less liquor. The
brewers and distillers are complaining
of annual losses. And on the highway
we saw men wearing the white star
Of the pledge taker. Tho Catholic,
Church has temperance missionaries
all over the island. The spirit OF
Father Mathew, the great temperance
revivalist, is abroad in the land. Tens

might walk miles in Dublin ana not
see woman in saloon. In Lon
don there are not only many more
saloons to the square mile, but they
are filled with women. In Dublin they
told us a woman loses caste who goes
to saloons. She does not seem to loss
caste in England. And, compared with
London, Dublin and all of Ireland, eX-
cept the seaport towns, which are in
vaded by British soldiers and sailors,
seems to be in q fairly good condition
SO far as drinking is concerned. Ger
tainly, the evil OF drinking is recog-
nized; it is being fought systematical-
ly, and with results-and that is half
the battle. And so far as drink makes
poverty, Ireland is overcoming one
source of her former poor estate.
Another hopeful thing about Ireland
is that she is about to have free high
er education for the Catholic youths.
The present Trinity College at Dublin,
supported by the State, is an Episco-
palian institution. 1t is under the ban
of Rome. But this year, for the first
time in modern history, Ireland will
have free public university, sup
ported by the State to which all class

children without having their religion

shakespeare's Religion.

In a recent lecture on 'Shakespearean
Silhouttes," Father c. E. de la Mo-
rinere, S. j., of Spring Hill College,
Mobile, Ala, said: Shakespeare lived
at a time when the first agitation
against the Roman Catholics was at its
height, and it's bitterness and fury were
extreme. In spite Of this never once
do we find the master poet laughing
at the Catholic faith On the contrary.
his nuns, his monks, and all his church,
ly characters, were presented in their
best light. Wolsey, whose fall he
paints, would have been an ideal tar
get for nom Catholic. Had any other
writer of this time taken the subject Of
Wolsey's career, Wolsey would have
been painted as an arch-villain. He
would have been shown as despicable
in his fall as in his triumph. But
Shakespeare does not do this. He
finds good in him. and in his closing
scenes of the drama he has the good
abbot who had received W6isey say
That he might be crowned with hon.
ors such as no man could give, he
died loving Cod think 1t is safe
to say that no non-Catholic hand wrote
that passage. This. in spite of the
overwhelming sentiment Of his audi
ence against the Catholic Church, q
sentiment which meant the very ex.
istence of the writer"

were suppressed by law and the major
ity and best portion of themselves
banished to every quarter of the globe
to make livelihood. The spending
of some money in Ireland by royalty
would not foster or restore Irish in
dustries; that must be done only by
Irish legislation.
Lord Glare, an ardent supporter rt
the Union, said in 1898: "There is no
globe, which had advanced in cultiva-
tion, in manufactures, with the same
repidi pand in the same period that
1relaad did, during. the time of her
independence"
Prof. Smith further says in his op-
position to the Irish cause: I'm the
North of Ireland there is Teuton and
Protestant population true to England
and the Union, but disregarded in these
party combinations" The people in
they are in the extreme South, unless
Prof. Smith desires the Protestant to
regard himself as Teuton Tor the
purpose of fostering a prejudice
against his Celtic and Irish nreth. e.
which would evidently be the wish OF
Prof. Smith when he makes an un-
called for distinction. In no other
country would there be any mention
of special legislation affecting any re-
ligious or minority sect contrary to
the government of the whole inhab-
itants. It would be more in the spirit
Of peace and goodwill for Prof. Smith,
to say with Frazer, the North of ire
land poet of half century ago:
"Let the Orange lily be
Thy badge, my patriot brother;
The everlasting Green for me.
And we for one another"
And, winding up, the Professor did
not forget to pay his compliment to
the Catholic clergy: "They are the
best specimens of the moral and So
cial influence of their ordets. still they
are Of the past" etc, etc. The Profess
sor himself may be ,noge or the past
in many ways-the troilbie With the
Catholic clergy is that they have too
much Of the future in their ideas and
belief to suit the Professor If the
Irish people and their belovse.. ..!argy
had in their nature any weakness Or
leaning towards materialism, or any
other "ism" but Catholicism, Prof.
Smith would have more consideration
for the grievances and oppression OF
centuries from which they suffer, and
their just and reasonable demands for
redress. 1t is to be regretted that so dis
tinguished a writer would not be in
fuenced by the example of another
great Englishman, the late Wll!!A:n f..
Gladstone, former Prime Minister OF
England. who devoted the latter part
of his life to correcting his early at
titude Of hostility towards Ireland.

WALTHILL, Neb., jan. 23.-(Special.)-
The Omaha Indians have had several com
Fnitteo meetings. since the tribal meeting
Monday and have decided on definite final
action. 4
Resolutions have been prepared setting
out the complaints and objections of the
Omahas to the proposed plan Of industrial
development. The Indians say the pro-
posed plan provides too much restriction
and their experience is too limited and
they are not afforded sufficient oppor-
tunity to mix with the white people in
n business and social way; that the re-
strictions and official protection thrown
around the Indians deprives them OF the
most civilizing influences and that as hey
are citizens and have perfect freedom as
such citizens, they should at least control
their own affairs in small business trans
actions to better fit them for the greater
responsibility of protecting the title to
their land as they get it later.
The Indians are In a very determined
mood and will not submit to the restrictive
rules.

new TOWNSHIP Of Winner, two miles north
of here. because the latter place was on
the survey of the proposed extension OF

IL erroneous. as the business men OF Lamro
are not moving and have no Intention OF
moving to Winner or any other site. They
do not credit the claims of the new town

tention to stand fast in the old town II
the thing was assured. The report that
the town was moving grew out of the fact
that two OF the four banks in Lamro had
been moved to the townsite OF Winner,
together with one OF the four hotels, one
hardware firm n one general store. The
removal Of these firms does not affect the
business OF Hamro, except to remove a con-
gested condition in these lines. The bust
ness houses moved were bought bodily by
the promoters Of the new townsite. Lamro
being the county seat OF Trip county, II
is not worrying over the matter, but wishes
